ActionScript 3.0 :: Input-textfield With Dynamic SetTextFormat?

Oct 29, 2008

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 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:

textfield.text = "Some Text";

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetTextFormat Not Working In Loop

Dec 21, 2011

I create 30 text fields dynamically on the stage and want to set text format for all text fields. I use 'setTextFormat'. It works fine for single text box. But not working if I give this in loop. See the code below. It creates thirty input text boxes on the stage. But it assigns text format only to the last text box. When code Copied and placed in frame 1. The stage size should be 800 x 600. Execute the program and type in the last text field. I want that to happen for all text boxes.

ActionScript Code:
var xtpos:Number = 10;
var ytpos:Number = 10;
var i,j:Number=0;
var depth:Number = 100
var k:Number=0;
[Code] .....
In the above it traces only the last text field.

ActionScript 3.0 :: SetTextFormat Not Working For Partial Strings?

Sep 22, 2011

I'm trying to set only a portion of a string to use a particular text format and it does not seem to be working. I'm calling setTextFormat() after setting the text of the TextField like this:

myTextField.setTextFormat(newFormat, 7);

change the format for the remaining characters after the 6th. The textfield seems to use the default text format for the entire text however.

ActionScript 3.0 :: SetTextformat And DefaultTextformat

Sep 2, 2009

I set a textformat and apply it with setTextFormat, this is fine when my movie runs however when I try and change the text (with a mouse over of a button) this formatting disappears and have to set it again after I have changed the value of the text box. Why does it resort back to the original formatting? Is there not a way to set a textfield and keep it set?

function setText(evt:MouseEvent) {
clientText.text = "hello2";
clientText.setTextFormat(myFormat);

SetTextFormat - How To Override Specific Property

Dec 3, 2011

I've written some code that uses setTextFormat to apply formatting to textFields. I need to change it now so if a textfield has a particular title it adds to the formatting (capitalizing it). There's several workarounds I could use but ideally I would like to either create an override for the setTextFormat or textFormat classes that checks the name of the textfield and if it's a particular name before applying all the other specified formatting capitalises it. I know how to override a setter such as (width or height) but can't find any info on overriding a specific property.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Maintain SetTextFormat Style With Css?

Jul 21, 2009

Is it possible to maintain the style format I've applied to my dynamic textfield when using css?What I'm trying to accomplish: I'm trying to get the url links in my cdata from my xml file ( <a href="">link</a> ) to underline, and if even more so possible, to bold or change font color for that link. And I'd like to avoid just using the <u> tag in the cdata instead.I know you can just use a stylesheet to accomplish that, but I've already set up my script to use the setTextFormat method and when I try to combine the two, it seems that I lose my embedded font.Heres what I have now for my textfield, which is also successfully pulling the style from a xml file.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stylesheet Equivilant Of SetTextFormat?

Jun 24, 2009

Is there a way of changing the styles of parts of a text using stylesheets, but without giving each part its own class? (Like you can do with setTextFormat by supplying the start and end character indexes). Or is there just another way of achieving the same result without using setTextFormat because you can't use it on a textfield that has a stylesheet applied to it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Textfield Is Not Working?

May 4, 2009

I 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.

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - SetTextFormat Crashes On TLFTextField?

Nov 7, 2011

We have a library with a bunch of TextFields inside MovieClips. During runtime, we make an instance of one of these, run getTextFormat on it to get the formatting, then create a bunch of TextFields in code and run setTextFormat on them to give them the same formatting.

I'm trying to do the same thing but with TLFTextFields. I have the following:

var text:TLFTextField = new classFromLib();
text.selectable = true; //required for getTextFormat to work, flash bug
textFormat = text.getTextFormat();

[Code]....

If I set textFormat.leading and textFormat.letterSpacing to null before I run setTextFormat, then everything works, but obviously the text fields don't get the leading and letter spacing that the one in the library had.

ActionScript 2.0 :: TextField.selectable Not Working?

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.
