ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField WordWrap Causes Indent On First Line?
May 23, 2008
I have a bunch of text I am working with from XML and when I import it into my text field it becomes automatically indented on the first line. Is there a way to lose this indent? If I take off word wrapping it does make the indent go away, but then of course the text spans across further than the text field horizontally.
Here are some of the properties I have assigned to the text field I am using:
ActionScript Code:
myTextField.htmlText = txtPath; //txtPath is the loaded and parsed XML
myTextField.multiline = true;
myTextField.wordWrap = true;

when I put WordWrap on in an input textfield, all characters off the width of the textfield get put on the next line. However, when I look at the htmlText property of that textfield, I see no evidence of such a line break.I've learned that's because it's a soft line break, and not a hard line break. My app has a feature that requries me to know the number of lines in the textfield. I had been calculating this by simply scanning through the htmlText property of the textfield and counting up the presence of "</p>". However, the wordwrap soft line breaks don't leave any evidence of such in the htmlText property

I'm trying to change the height of a wordwrap textfield. When I change the width property everything seems to work properly (the height is increased if width is small). But when I try to change height, nothing happens (I would think that the width will increase if height is too small). Here's the code
Code
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Verdana";

I have this weird thing happening with flash and a dynamic textfield. Basically, someone rolls over a marker on a map, and a tooltip pops up with a dynamic textfield. The textfield is set to multiline=true and wordwrap = true, and I defined a specific width of 160 pixels.
The problem is, some of my text is jumping to the next line, some of it is just getting cut off. So if I have a line like "The Cat Jumped Over the Box", On one line I will see "The Cat Jumped" and on the next line I would see "the Box". It looks like it is masking out the "over" line and not pushing it to the next line.
It's not doing this for everything, just some longer lines. This is a really weird bug and I have tried for 8 hours to get this fixed. Has anyone ran into this problem before?

This is the data, and you can see that it has an indent on its first line.
Where I would like to see this:
This is the data, and you can see that it does not have an indent on its first line.
Some of the code,
// Define variables
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
[Code]....
I suspect that it has to do with prettyIndent and prettyPrinting, and I could not make it to work.

I have a Dynamic TextField defined in the Flash Authoring Tool set to be multiline (cause the app can receive data from outside and it can be either 1 line or 1000 lines) but unfortunately the flash player just renders 1 line in the TextField, of a total that would have upwards of 100 lines.
I tried the following property:
textField.multiline = true;
but without success.

i have a text field with text within it. Im wanting to get the line number of that text element once its clicked. Using an event listener I can get a specific value
PHP Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myTF.getLineText(0));
}
Of course I would have to use either an if statement or an if statement within a for loop, but what would I check it against?

I need to send the contents of an input textfield by GET to a php script. The problem is the input must be multiline, but cannot allow line breaks orelse it messes up the GET query. Is there anyway for me to replace the line breaks with a html encoded line break (I tried restricting the textfield to specific characters, but the return still caused line breaks)?

I have very little experience with text in flash. In a dynamic text field I know I can apply a TextFormat to the entire field but can I apply different fromatting to individual workd in the field if for example I wanted to make a word or a few words of text a hyperlink within a textfield. Can I do that or would I need to use html text?

I want to be able to write a paragraph in a textfield, and then click and hold, or do some similar gesture, and have the entire paragraph selected. I'm then going to drag it (using bitmapdata or whatever) to another textfield.
In order to do this, I need to be able to detect where a given paragraph ends. So I'm trying to do that with the following code, which searches for " " in the text.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have a TextField that uses a stylesheet and gets its text as htmlText. That text is read from an *.xml file with the neccessary CDATA tag. The htmlText is read correctly (I have a debug output to check that), and when displaying the .text attribute, it shows line breaks as expected. multiline, wordwrap and condenseWhite are enabled. No AutoSizing is done, instead I set width and height of the field manually.
But the text it actually shows on the screen is all shown in one line, with multiple lines being drawn in the same line. It also seems to interpret the html correctly, as the words with '<b></b>' around them are bold. Only the line breaks are not working. The height can't be the problem as I set it manually to a value high enough, and debug output shows that it really has that height.
This only happens when viewing the *.swf online and only with empty cache. When I press F5 in the window, the TextField works as intended. So it works offline and when it has already been loaded.
But the creation, scaling of the TextField and filling the TextField with text is all done in the same function, without any breaks so I really don't know how the cache could possibly affect this.
