ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField And CSS: Control Spacing Between Paragraphs?
Dec 18, 2008
I'm using an external CSS to format a textField that has some HTML text in it, let's say something similar to this:
myTextField.htmlText = "<p>paragraph one</p><p>paragraph two</p>";
How can I control the spacing between paragraphs when there is no support for margin-top or margin-bottom? I don't want to add empty <p> or <br /> elements to my text since they don't allow exact control and insert too much space.

Does anyone have any good references to point me towards in regards to creating space between custom tagged items in XML other than the <p> tag? I created some other tagging in CSS such as <paraPop></paraPop> and I tried creating custom tags for spacing alone, but it doesn't work in CS3 like it has in the past with AS2. Example of spaced tagging used in XML that worked previously: [code]

Is there a way to control the vertical space between two HTML paragraphs, in an AS3 TextField?
I understand and have successfully applied CSS styles via AS3 and have also utilized the TextFormat class.
I am still unable to control the vertical space between a closing and an opening <p> tag: txt.htmlText = "<p>First paragraph here.</p><p>Second paragraph here.</p>"; The example above renders with the correct font and letter-spacing, but the space between paragraphs is either two-times too tall if txt.condenseWhite = false or it is too condensed if txt.condenseWhite = true.
Since only margin-left and margin-right are available CSS attributes in AS3, and not margin-top or margin-bottom, I am at a loss.

I'm trying to space the numbers of my slideshow but i can't align exactly.
Looks how it displays: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10111213.
I need to get the exact textifield width and calculate when there are two numbers inside it.
Here comes the code
Code:
.
var btn:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[code]....
How Do I detect if there are two numbers inside the textfield?

Letter spacing doesn't seen to work for dynamic text fields in Flash. I use CS4 on Mac, player version 10.0.2. Does it also depend on the font that's used?

Is there any way to control the space between the bullet and the text in an HTML text field? When I use the <li></li> tags it causes the text to be about 40px from the bullet like:
�____bullet 1
�____bullet 2
but I want it to look like:
�_bullet 1
�_bullet 2
(ignore the underscorE)
I tried messing with indent, leftMargin and others but with no luck. I'm publishing for Flash 8.

I can't seem to control my letter spacing (kerning) in my dynamic text field. I gave the field an instance name of about_txt and I loaded the text from a text document. The text shows up fine but it is all bunched together. Here is my code:
Code:
var about_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about_txt.txt");
var about_1dr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(about_req);
about_1dr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function
onComplete(event:Event):void{
about_txt.text = event.target.data;
}var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.letterSpacing = 10
about_txt.setTextFormat(fmt);
No matter what value I put in for letterSpacing nothing seems to happen.

Using the following code, I push data from an xml file into a classic dynamic text box that is configured to render text as html. For some reason there is an obscene amount of white space between paragraphs. I am not sure why it is there since I have already set it to ignore white space. How would I get rid of it?

I am wanting to create several dynamic text areas and have different paragraphs to be loaded from a txt file. I am using;
loadVariables("message.txt", "");
stop();
to load the text. The problem I am having is that I want to use only one txt file to house all of my different paragraphs. I can only get the first message box to display the text. How can I can the others to display the text? I've included sample files.

In a CS3/As3 project I have xml files with html content loaded in a texfiled inside a mc. In some cases I have swf files embedded with img tag in the xml. The problem is that when a swf is loaded this way It keeps 'living', playing with sounds in the background when other xml files and swf are loaded in the texfiled. Then, every time it is loaded, a new instance of the swf is created and played.I have found out you can refer to the loader object with getImageReference method giving an id to img tag and, for example, adding an Event.COMPLETE listener to the loader. But I don't know how to access to the loaded swf to unload it or at least stop it (mc_name.texfiled_name.swf_id doesn't seem to work in AS3)Does anybody know if it is possible?

I have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?

I figured out how to get a TextField to maintain focus when the tab key is pressed (using an event listener on FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE), but what I'd like to do is control the size of the tab character in the TextField so that it is equal to five spaces. (I would just insert five spaces when the tab key is pressed, however due to requirements this is not an option.) Is this possible?

I am creating a text input control on top of the native TextField class. I am trying to make the input text field itself behave in such a way that hitting Enter when focused and typing, instead of adding a line feed, produces a kind of "submit" event from my control, clearing the "submitted" text input. The described above works quite well. My problem is that I currently rob the users of my control the simple line-feeding ability - instead of a line-feed, a "submit" event is dispatched.
Obviously my control is designed for sending text rapidly, but it is also multiline so I want people to also be able to insert newlines. Think of this as a chat text input control. What I thought about is, somehow capture Shift+Enter and make it behave as Enter usually does. This has proven to be absolutely impossible, and I know a thing or two about Flash Player.
Part of the problem is, Shift+Enter by default does not itself produce a newline (even though pretty much everything else that types in any OS, does) and I cannot patch the event - f.e. by setting 'shiftKey' property to false at capture phase so that the event moves on as if Enter was pressed instead. How to do this, sort of replicating a TextField entirely down to a caret and all?

I've got a Grid whose GridItems contain another DataGrids. (The DataGrid are nested in the Grid). Now I changed the Grid's horizontalGap-StyleProperty to zero. But because there are several DataGrids in one GridItem, there is still about 5-10px spacing in between those DataGrids. How to get rid of these spacings ?

I'm trying to figure out a way to center dynamic text fields vertically after the text has been input. For instance, in some instances I would have a dynamic field with two lines, and I would want to center it between two other dynamic fields- but only after the text has been populated. Maybe a better way of explaining it would be changing the spacing of elements on a page so they're always equidistant from one another.
