I have a TLFTextfield, which I've applied a TextFormat to, using a start and end index so it only applies to a range of text.Something similar to this:
var textfield:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
textfield.text = "Some Text";
textfield.textColor = 0x0000FF;
[code].....
Im looking for a script to set a textFormat on characters between < and >...ive tried a wild guess:
inputText.setTextFormat("<",">",myTextFormat);
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]........
when I parse my input-textfield and setTextFormat, everything works fine, but when I write something between the newly formatted part of the the, suddenly the formatting spreads over the whole texfield.
Is there any way (besides .htmlText="") to get rid of text formatting-tags. (maybe something simpler than a html-parser or so?)
I want to read an Atom in Flex.I can see in the debugger that he can read the Atom and that there are entries, I can see each value. So far, so good.But when I want to assign a value from the atom to a variable, he never gives any text. It's always this: "".
My code:
ch.Name = xml.title;
ch.Desc = xml.subtitle;
ch.Updated = xml.updated;
[code]....
But that's strange, because I can see in the debugger that it schould be "Tweakers.net".It becomes even more strange, because it works just fine with RSS.
I have a swf that reads a XML file. Here's the thing. If I have the fla open and I hit cntrl+enter to run it, everything works fine. But if I just open the swf, it doesn't read the xml. The swf is in the same directory as the xml file. I have tried everything. I even slammed my head on the wall on 3 different occasions.
View 2 RepliesI have everything done to load a text from an XML file in my flash movie, but it shows the text only if it is written in EN i want to type the text in the XML file in Cyrillic but flash doesnt want to read it... I tried to change the Embed Characters of my text field but it still doesn't want to read it. I have added this to my XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and still the same thing.
View 1 RepliesIn my emptyMC, i'm calling a newsticker, that needs an external .as class to works propertly. But when it opens, it doesn't read my _x and _y coordinates and neither the .as.
My code to it, is in a frame:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("noticias", 2);
loadMovie("newsticker.swf", noticias);
noticias._y = -50;
noticias._x = 0;
In my first frame I have locked the root with:
this._lockroot = true and i has been working perfectly.
Also in the root in a frame i'm loading a music.swf.
for further doubts, just ask.

I am trying to send a php variable with one field from mysql. When I print the php variable on my php page it outputs the field, but when I try to send it to flash it doesn't output anything.Here is my php script that tries to send a mysql field to flash and there nothing is shown. It works on my php page, it outputs the mysql field.
$product=$result['product'];
$pro=$product;
$pro = "&pro=".$pro."&"; //~ make it a flashable variable

I have a form made up of textfields nested within Movie Clips and when I hit tab, it doesn't go to the next textfield, but instead hops all around the interface. Is there any way to control this? I've tried using the accessibility panel and setting the Tab Index but that had no effect (I'm guessing because the textfields are nested in mc's).
View 1 RepliesIn PHP you can do something like this:
Array1 = 0,0,3,6,6,6,7,8,8,9
Then loop through Array1 and set the keys of Array2
Array2[0] = true;
Array2[3] = true;
Array2[6] = true;
Array2[7] = true;
Array2[8] = true;
Array2[9] = true;
Array2.count = 6;
But doing a similar thing in AS3 would result in a count of 10 (true,,,, true,,,, true, true, true, true) as all of the keys that are not set are counted. Is there a way of doing this without using any more loops? or Functions, simplicity and efficiently are important here.
so i have an array containing many instances. let's say movieclips.
and i have another array which contains numbers..in this case those numbers represent selected indices that i've somehow chosen!
var manydots:Array = new Array ();
for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
{
var newDot:dot = new dot ;
manydots.push(newDot);
}
var indices:Array = [0,1,5,8,4]
i want to use AddChild to add those movieclips into my scene, but not all of them, only selected indices contained in my 2nd array
I don't seem to be able to find some info regarding this problem of mine anywhere...I would like to be able to access multiple values in an array.Let say I have an array with the index values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.These values will in reality be posts of htmltext for a news section - contained in an external xml-file.I would like to access these "values" like so:0, 1, 2 and then if you click a forward button the next three indexes 3, 4, 5 & so on. There will also be a back button with reverse functionality. I'm guessing a for loop?This loads the correct indexes the 1:st time.[code]...
But my problem is when clicking the buttons - how do I add and subtract from the var i? The problem is also when reaching the end & there might be just a single post or so instead of 3 - how can all of this be solved? Or does anyone now of a tutorial similar to my problem. I've found some tutorials but they only deal with one post at a time...
I have to reverse the display order of a number of MovieClipsin a container. Somehow I cannot figure out how to do this as whenI use a loop construct and count through all Children I will always"pre"-alter the Indexes of the children still to come.
View 1 RepliesI just have another really quick question about Arrays, this time about Sorting them. I have just re- written my code to work for matching values from 2 arrays and then adding them to the screen.
however it seems as my matching is way off, it matches the items that are at the same index, which is not always the case
The output for the matches, which should be side by sideis as follows (which is incorrect) Therfore i am trying to find values at diffrent index levels
DunlopbabolatWilsonwilsonHeaddunlopAdidasheadBabolatslazengerSlazegerprincePrincevolklVolkladidas
I tried to sort the Array, but it seems as though the array, cannot be sorted the way i want it. I simply wanted to sort it Acending, but changing it to lowecase would not do what i needed it to do.
This is the code, matchInfo function should do all the work

This is a somewhat modified excerpt of code I'm trying to implement:

im having difficulties calculating the distance between array indexes. for example:
Code:
chararray = new Array(" ", "_", "!", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z");
this is my array... and now i want to calculate the distance between 'X' and ' @'. This should be 6. How should this be calculated?
Code:
ahmed = []
ahmed["a"] = "sdf"
ahmed["b"] = "asd"
trace(ahmed.length) // outputs 0
[Code]...
a) Why does the first piece trace 0 instead of 2?
b) How would i loop through an array where the indexes are literal (not numbers)
The password_txt textField doesn't become visible with the function but trace works.
stop();
this.createTextField("username_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 450, 235, 120, 20);
focusManager.defaultPushButton = login_btn;
[Code]......
Is there a way to do something like this?
PHP Code:
var myArray:Array = new Array(10)
myArray[8, 9, 10].visible = false
where myArray[8, 9, 10] would access the last three objects referenced in the array?
I am looking at "length" property in the Adobe AS3.0 language ref as I do not understand it. It says: An integer specifying the number of characters in the specified String object. (I understand this). Because all string indexes are zero-based, the index of the last character for any string x is x. length - 1. (I do not understand the "- 1". I understand that all string indexes are zero-based but I cant put this together with the last character for any string being -1 or whatever it is saying.
View 7 Repliesafter upgrading from AS2 to AS3 the sharpness in my textfield doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?[code]
View 11 RepliesI have a textfield in a MovieClip that I'm trying to change out from an external class. It appears to return back as empty on the stage, but if I trace what's inside there it gives me the correct value, it just doesn't show up.
My code is this:
((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text = 'test';
So if I trace "((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text" it returns "test" but it doesn't display on the stage, it's just blank.

That doesn't work. But i when i change Number(input.text); to Number(6); for an example it works. But i want an number by input
i have this problem with my text field. i have this dynamic text field, and i want to load external text files and show them there. this all works fine and dandy but when i try to make a scrollbar along with it, it gives the height of the text field as the original one from the flash file, not the new text.

View 6 RepliesI have one textfield which is presented like _root.screen1.screen2.textfield1
screen2 is the movieclip within screen1. They are movieclips and textfield1 is the textfield
I tested like
_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text="Hi, can u see me?";
trace(_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text);
Then I can see the result of trace which have the text I wrote, but I cannot see anything on the screen.
why it is like this and how to modify then ?
stage.focus = txt; // txt is a text input field
It successfully gives the TextField "txt" focus because when I type, the characters appear in the input textfield, however the familiar blinking text cursor/beam does not appear in the textfield. This makes you think it does not have focus, so you click the textfield to give it focus -- completely defeating the purpose.
I have a problem with animation of TextField. I prepared an animation of MovieClip (containing TextField), that in 0.5sec gets 50% alpha. Then I used "Copy movement as ActionScript 3.0..." option.When I copied it into a class and wanted to animate TextField, nothing matters, excepting weird TF movement.Here my button class code - class works alone:

import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]...........

textField.styleSheet = style;
