ActionScript 3.0 :: TextArea Replaces CR-NL With CR-CR
Nov 16, 2009
If you put a carriage return (13) newline (10) sequence into a TextArea, it is automatically converted in the TextArea to two carriage returns. (Did we know this?)
I'm using AS3 as the front end to an Oracle DB (communicating via ASP), and check fields to see if they've been edited (i.e., no longer match what's in the DB and need to be saved). TextAreas assigned the CR-NL sequence inherently never match.
Work Around: After I write variable text from the DB to the TextArea, I write the TextArea.text back into the variable.

Replace all instances of a phrase in a text string with another phrase... for some reason only the first instance is replaced and the rest ignored. I botched a solution together by running it through the string replace function around 9 times so the end result has all the <br /> replaced but I'd like to know what I've done wrong...
My Code:
var importPostAddress = "123 Fake Street<br />Mytown<br />Mycounty<br />Mycountry<br />PO5 7CD<br /><br />";
var postAddress = importPostAddress.replace("<br />",", ");
Expected result when tracing postAddress
123 Fake Street, Mytown, Mycounty, Mycountry, PO5 7CD, ,
Actual result
123 Fake Street, Mytown<br />Mycounty<br />Mycountry<br />PO5 7CD<br /><br />

in my flex .swf file I check for "#/1" at the end of the URL in the browser address box (and if its present, use a local Flex SharedObject to restore a previous state). if "#/1" is not present, I call SWFAddress.setValue("1") which has the effect of appending "#/1" on the end of the URL in the browser address box, if that top level URL is also the url of the html page containing my .swf file.
My problem occurs when the html file containing the swf is in a frame, in which case calling SWFAddress.setValue("1") replaces the top level URL in the browser address box with the URL of this frame page (and then appends the "#/1" on the end of that), which then makes this frame page the top level, wiping out all the other frames. But I just want to append "#/1" on the end of whichever top level url address happens to be in the browser address box (not replace its entire content with the url of the frame page containing the swf.

I have a function which adds movieclips dynamically into another movieclip. Inside the dynamic movieclip is a dynamic textbox (it gets it's content from a textfile via the function).However, if I add more than one movieclip, the previous added mc's gets the textbox value undefined (doesn't matter if it's an identical mc or a different one). And it hasn't got to do with levels, I've already checked that...
Here's the function:
[AS]
addTxt = function (src, objWidth, xpos, ypos, level) {

the function is called by an "XML-loop", and the level-var is changed for each mc that is to be created.

A little much put in the title, but my question is just that. I have the following AS3 code for my textarea...
addChild(Texta1);
Texta1.alpha = 0;
Texta1.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;
[Code].....
Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).

What I need to do is to use 1 XML file to feed different content to 2 different TextArea fields. I know how to use an XML file to feed text content to a TextArea field. I figured out how to use 1 XML file to feed the same text to 2 different TextArea fields and how to use 2 XML files to feed 2 different TextArea Fields but I can't figure out 1 XML feeding 2 different sets of info to 2 different TextArea fields. Is there something I can do in AS to pull different XML tags to different TextFields?

Doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm using CS4 Professional version 10.0 Flash IDE (pgraded from Flash8 Pro) and can not get the textArea component to display its selection when it loses focus. I've reduced it down to the simplest FLA file I can: One Input TextField named "input_txt", one TextArea field named "text_area"
[Code]...
I type some text in either box and select it. The TextFied box shows the selection in gray when I change focus to the TextArea, but not the other way around.I've also tried text_area.textField.alwaysShowSelection = true; With and without setting the property of text_area itself.

I have a text area displaying something, I want to achieve: Some words are rendered as hyperlink in html (blue color with underline), and when mouse hovers there it becomes a hand. When user clicks it, it will invoke a function in AS and pass the words to the callback function.

I'm developing a Flex/AIR application built entirely in ActionScript -- there's no MXML beyond what was originally auto-created.
I need to dynamically generate some kind of editable text-field with high control over formatting. The TLF text fields all seem great, except that I can't get any of them to render on the screen. Due to the nature of the application, they have to be inside a MovieClip, but since I've read that everything must be a descendant of UIComponent, I use UIMovieClip, which is AddChild'ed to the stage.
I'm about to go crazy here, the whole application is in jeopardy over this. I CAN NOT use MXML, and all the 10,000 examples on the internet are MXML. I need to generate these dynamically. I need to generate upwards of 50 fields under one movieclip based on database data. There's no way to hardcode that with MXML. The GUI is very specific about this, and it's the right GUI.
In two days of searching, I can't find a single example in ActionScript, only MXML. I've tried everything that smelled like an example.
Is there some obvious general pointer I'm missing? I'll be happy to post code, but it doesn't make sense because I've been through so many examples.
Does anyone have the simplest possible code for creating any kind of TLF text editing field in ActionScript only (zero MXML), which is then added to a MovieClip or UIMovieClip, which is added to the stage of a desktop AIR application?

What i wanna do is have 2 textinputs, one for your name, and the other one for the times you want the name will be shown in a textarea. And this should happen by pushing a button. So if you type in Jacob in the first textinput, and "3" in the second the textarea should display:
Jacob
Jacob
Jacob.

I'm trying to pull data from an XML file into a TextArea to take advantage of the scroll bar capabilities.I have two XMLLists, XListCopy & XListURLs. XListCopy is basically a list of words that need to be on their own line. While the XListURLs are the respective links for those words.Since at the moment, I'm using appendText obviously any links will be merged into one. Is there any way to separate each & make each clickable?

We have a TextArea that is created dynamically reading in XML data with the textFormat set to Arial font as the default. When we publish it the font tag for a subscript and superscript fonts is not displaying even though we have embedded the fonts. It displays
properly if the font is installed.
