ActionScript 3.0 :: TextArea Component Scrollpolicy Being Ignored?

Nov 20, 2009

The scroll policy for the textArea component appears to be "auto", and that works just fine.However, I want to be able to turn it off in certain situations, i.e., not have the scroll bar appear.I do the following which I thought would turn it off but the scroll bar still shows up.
 
Code Snippet:
myTF = new TextFormat("Arial", 10,  0xFFFFFF,false);
myText_mc.myTextArea.setStyle("textFormat", myTF);
myText_mc.myTextArea.verticalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
myText_mc.myTextArea.horizontalScrollPolicy = "OFF";

IDE :: Remove Border From TextArea Component?

Mar 22, 2008

I'm working in ActionScript 3 and, yet again, I'm starting to regret trying to use components as it seems I always run into a brick wall when using them : (

I have a TextArea component instantiated and added to the display list programmatically via ActionScript 3 code (not AS2, which is all I could find reference to on the net about this).

How to disable the border so it doesn't show around the TextArea component? I've tried a bunch of things, like for example:

myTextArea.setStyle("border", "false");
and
myTextArea.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Dynamically Create Textarea Component

Aug 12, 2009

I have got an array full of strings and I want to populate the elements into dynamically created textarea components. I have seen "this []" syntax used to dynamically create arrays, but I can not get something similar to work for text area components.

Here is the code that I am trying:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < aActivities.length; i++) {
this["taNode_" + i] = new TextArea();
this["taNode_" + i].move(20,50 + (10*i));
this["taNode_" + i].height=26;
this["taNode_" + i].text=aActivities[i];
addChild(this["taNode_" + i]);
}

I get this message when I run my movie:
"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TextArea."
I do have an instance of a textarea in my Library as I know you have to for things like data grid.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Disable Editable TextArea Component?

Nov 14, 2010

I have a TextArea component in a flash document, and this TextArea is loading text from a .txt file.

However, when you're viewing the textarea in a webpage, you can not only select the text that has been loaded into the textarea, but you can also delete the text written there, like it's a word document or something.

Is there any way I can disable this?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Possible To Fill TextArea Component With Gradient?

Feb 26, 2010

However, is it possible to say, create a gradient (the only way I know how to do so is with the beginGradientFill that you use while using the drawing API) as a variable and then apply that as the background to the TextArea component somehow?

ActionScript 3 :: Converting TextArea Into TextField Component

Sep 19, 2011

I've a TextArea component in my MovieClip. When I double click on it, I want to switch to TextField component, allowing me to change its content. When I click outside, I want to restart its original class (TextArea).

I'm doing this, but didn't work:
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.target.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Where element is a TextArea (classic and dynamic text).

This is how my MovieClip looks. "Name" is the TextArea that I want to allow user changes. I'm setting it like this:
Nombre de instancia = Instance name (empty)
Texto clasico (classic text)
Texto dinamico (dynamic text)

The MovieClip is controlling my by own base class (called 'ConfLayer'). Inside it I have this:
public function doStuff(e:MouseEvent):void{
// element = TextArea 'Name'
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
} private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tarea:TextArea = e.target as TextArea;
var tf:TextField = tarea.TextField; // this line throwing error
tf.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}

Because AS3 gives me errors, I tried this:
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.target.TextField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
When I double-click on TextArea element, the previous string removes and I can't write nothing.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Using An XML File To Add Text Into A TextArea Component Set As Html?

Feb 23, 2010

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried   and   without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

Flex :: How To Get X / Y Coordinates Of Caret Inside TextArea Component

1). Copy and paste multiple-line texts.
2). Write long and scroll the texts.
I also found another working example at: [URL]. (The autocomplete prompt appears when you press ctrl+space right at the caret's position). But an email from its author says he uses monotype fonts to calculate individual character's location. Is there a way to get multi-line input from a textfield?

Flash - Append Flow To Existing Textarea Component?

May 16, 2011

I'm looking to simply append the following text to an existing spark.components.TextArea's text flow:
<b>something</b>: hello world

I have attempted to do this using the following code, but nothing happens:
this.textarea.textFlow.addChild(TextConverter.importToFlow(
"<b>something</b>: hello world",
TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT));

How can I accomplish this? I know in the old mx.controls.TextArea component, I could simply do:
this.textarea.htmlText += "<b>something</b>: hello world";
How can I do this with the new TLF/FTE API expressed in the spark.components.TextArea component?
