I“m trying to vertical align some text in a Monoline TextField in AS3.Not sure if this can be done with TextFormat, but I don“t think so
View 2 RepliesI am loading an image into an html textfield. The image loads fine, my problem is that Flash keeps wrapping the image in a <p> tag, so the image is never aligned to the top of my textfield.

View 2 RepliesIn a card game I use a TextField in the middle to display the playing table number, but also to detect if a playing card has been played - using myTextField.hitTestObject(myCard) - which means the TextField's position and dimensions may not change:
My current AS3 code is:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0xFFFFFF;
format.size = 30;
[Code]......
However the TextField's content (the String "#2029" in the above screenshot) is not in the center of it.
I can not set _middle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER because this changes the width of the border (and breaks hitTestObject()).
Is there another way to align the text in the middle?
I'm trying to make a Dynamic TextField and set align to 'Justify'.I tried use align propriety from TextFormat but doesnt work.Until now, it only works with Static Texts, that I know.

View 4 RepliesI have an input text field, with only one character and aligned to left, where i put information dynamically. If i put the character from actionscript, it doesn't align as it should. If i manually enter a character then it aligns well. After i manually added the character, if i try to add it from actionscript too, it aligns correctly. The font i use is created by me, and all the letters are aligned the same way. I embedded the font.
View 1 RepliesIn all CS5 programs (Flash, Fireworks, etc.) the align buttons don't align my imgaes/objects/movieclips; they don't do anything.
View 2 Repliesim using this code:
Code:
Stage.align = "BR";
var stageListener: Object = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = positionContent;
[Code]....
..to fix the position of my MC, but the parameter "BR" (and all others) aren't effecting. My mc always shows up in the bottom right corner.
i made a function for replacing a text letter by letter. You've probably seen this effect of putting in place of a text a random one, with the length of the new text and then replacing the random text, letter by letter with the new one. It worked fine but I had to do some adjustments, because I needed to vertically align the text to the bottom, and I had the newline character in the text which gave me some issues with the aligning. Since I did this adjustments, string.length returns undefined even if trace(string) shows the correct text in the output window. On the other hand length(string) gives me the right answer. I also use the charAt function which also returns undefined, even if the trace function shows the correct text.

View 1 RepliesI have a weird problem with my textfields.. They are not displaying at all. I've tried embedding/unembedding the fonts, removing all animations, but I can't see anything.What's weird is, a few days ago it was working fine. Then I changed some of the code a bit, then changed it back. AFAIK, my code now is just the same a few days ago.

The default value text displays, but when you click into them to type nothing appears.I've tried embedding fonts, making sure I use th Font class, even setting them to _sans and system font, but nothing. Totally at my ropes end before I wind up re-writing most of this thing.These really should be TextInputs, I know, but this is some other f*cker's crap work I'm cleaning up and I don't feel like refactoring the rest of his garbage.
View 1 RepliesI have a TextField which styleSheet i want to change at runtime.For testing I created a new .FLA put a Textfield on stage, set it to dynamic, named it mytxt and added some AS3:[code]Well nothing changed I still have a default black text when I publish the swf.My goals:
- Set a TextField in Flash IDE
- set the font, weight, color, size etc.
- apply a styleSheet containing colors for links
I am trying to get setTextFormat working, but I can't seem to get it to work. The textfield appears and has the text I want, however, the font is just not changing.Here is my code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.text.TextField;import flash.text.TextFormat; public class Photograph extends MovieClip {
[code]........
The tutorials for using CSS in Flash seem pretty straightforward, but for some reason they just don't work for me. I'm using this code:
Code:
this.createTextField("myText", 1, 100, 100, 300, 100);
myText.multiline = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.html = true;
[code]....
When I Debug>Variables, there is one line in particular that seems to be the key:
Variable _level0.myFormat = undefined
This is a really basic question, and I feel like I'm probably overlooking something extremely obvious.I'm working on a text-based application, and it's important that users aren't able to muck about with certain portions of it. OK, I thought, I'll just set textField.selectable=false right after I've created the text field.

Some of the dynamic text fields in my application stopped working. This is part of a major application which I have been working on for a few months. It worked fine until today. 3 different dynamic text fields suddenly do not show text when I set the text from actionscript This is what I tried:
1) Tried with and without text embedding
2) Turned on and off html
3) Tried with .text and .htmlText
4) Removed the TextField and added a new one
5) Added static text into the dynamic TextField and did not add the dynamic text with actionscript --> the initial text appeared I am working with CS3 and recently updated. I am considering deleting Flash and not running the update.
I have a simple class which contains a TextField. The textfield is populated with data from an XML file.i am using the code:
txtField.htmlText = xmlElement.node.node.text();
txtField.setTextFormat(txtFmt);
If i don't use any HTML tags, it displays fine. But if I add tags, such as <a> or <b>, etc... the text within the tags does not display. For example, if in the XML text i have:
<node>For more information, <a href='
http://www.link.com'>Click
Here</a> to see the information.When I run the flash move, it displays:For more informationto see the information.If i remove the <a> tags, it displays fine.
This doesn't make any sense to my feeble brain, and I've reached my googlefu limit.
I have a bunch of prototype methods that I use to speed development up, and most of them are attached to DisplayObject or InterActiveObject. Here's an example of one such prototype:

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {

AS although I have some experience with other languages. I'm using Flash Develop IDE with Flex 4.0/AS 3.0. I'm trying to make a wrapper class for TextField which will generate a properly formatted text form which accept user input. My code is the following:

I'm creating an array of thumbnails. The images are being read via an xml file. This works fine. What doesn't work is the TextField I put underneath the thumbnail image.
Code:
Select all
var thumbContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
thumbContainer.addChild(loadedThumb);
var sl = new slNum_mc; //This is being referenced as a class from the library.
sl.slideNumber.text = "abc"; //slideNumber is a dynamic textfield in the movie clip class sl, the initial
sl.slideNumber.y = 90; // text "abc" does apply at runtime
thumbContainer.addChild(sl);
addChild(thumbContainer);
searchSlideArray.push(thumbContainer); //Adds it to an array I already set up
This much does work. But when I try to trace it like this:
Code: Select alltrace(searchSlideArray[0].sl.slideNumber.text);
I get an error. How can I correctly reference the text in a text field that is housed in a movie clip class?
I've made a simple package that creates a custom textfield and a circle sprite. pressing the circle sprite is supposed to update the textfield text with some sent string. The string is being sent by using a custom event. The problem is, for some reason the script never reaches the function that handles the custom event....why isn't the updateText event firing??
