ActionScript 3.0 :: Trace Everything To Textfield?

Aug 5, 2010

Is there a way to trace every single thing, error messages, etc into a textfield without having to add it manually to each trace?

Basically I have 50+ traces, and want it all to go into a textField with one command. If I write more traces, I just simply write "trace("anything I want to trace") and without telling it about the textField, it prints out because I told it to in that one command in the beginning of my class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Changes From Trace() To TextField?

Feb 15, 2010

I'm loading some text from an XML.If I use the trace() method, the output shows nordic letters (���), but when the text is shown on stage in a textfield, "�" is shown correctly, but "�" becomes regular "a".

The font supports nordic letters.

All of the nordic letters is correctly displayed in the rest of the page I'm developing.

embedFonts = true;

XML is saved with UTF-8

... a shot in the dark is better than nothing at this point.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Trace The Width Of The Actual Text Of A Dynamic Textfield?

Mar 10, 2009

I'm trying to trace the width of the actual text of a dynamic textfield (called 'label'). i know this should be

code: trace(label.textWidth);

however, all I get is an 'undefined' message in the output box. Whereas, if I trace(label.length) instead, then it counts the number of digits in the text field. I thought label.textWidth would work? I want to find the length of the text in pixels basically...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Global Array - Trace That First Element While Trace Is Called Within The Function

May 29, 2009

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:

[Code]....

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Modifiy The Global Trace Function To Output The Current Time Of A Trace Action

Nov 9, 2011

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :

Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Background Color Of TextField When Said TextField Is Selected By User?

May 5, 2010

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...

Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}

Problems...

1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.

2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.

Flash :: Textfield Embedded Font Only Adjusts According To Textfield Height?

Jun 14, 2011

i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?

I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField On Separate Frame Is Null Then Becomes A Textfield?

Jun 29, 2010

Attached is basically a recreation of the problem. What I'm basically trying to do is a tooltip window with 4 frames. Each frame has different textfields but also some the same. Like the "Weapon" frame has textfields called namebox, typebox, levelbox, and damagebox, while the "Armor" frame has namebox, typebox, levelbox, and defensebox.

In the attachment there is a Movieclip called awd on the stage. It has 2 keyframes in it called "Weapon" and "Drop" each with their own textfields but they are both called "box". I have a click event listener that makes awd go to its second frame and outputs the second child in awd, which will be the textfield. The problem is when I click the first time, awd goes to the second frame but it outputs null instead of Object TextField. When I click again it outputs Object TextField. If I trace the number of children it gives me 2. So I don't know how it can be null.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scroll TextFIeld Objects - Change The TextField.y Value

Mar 17, 2009

I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:

<XMLdata>
<Line>this is line 1</Line>
<Line>this is line 2</Line>
<Line>this is line 3</Line>
</XMLdata>

So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Set The Focus Back To The Textfield And Put The Caret At The End Of The Textfield?

Jul 24, 2011

I have a numerical stepper,and a user can click on a textfield, then click the up and down arrows on the stepper to change the font size,i then try and set the focus back to the textfield and put the caret at the end of the textfield, but the stepper keeps focus anyway.Here is the event handler for when the stepper value is changed.Get the textfield's current format, change the size, set the new format, then focus on the textfield and set the caret position, but the caret just stays inside the stepper.

Code:
private function handleChangeTextSize(e:Event):void
{
var tField:TextField = Main.LAST_FOCUSED_OBJECT;[code]....

I've had problems with other components too with the exact same focus issue and the only solution i've ever come up with is to set a timeout for like 100 milliseconds to set the focus back then and it works. another way to do this without the "hack"?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A Reference To TextField To Update TextField

Jan 22, 2010

I have two text fields and the user can use a button to underline text in either field. I have a listener on each field that keeps tracks of the last clicked in field.
 
public function setLastActiveTextField(event:FocusEvent):void {            lastTextActiveField=event.currentTarget;            trace(lastTextActiveField.name);        }

[Code]....

lastActiveTextField is defined as an Object.  When the highlight button is hit, it reports the correct the range,  but I can't figure out how to send the formatting to the actual textfield without setting up another if (lastActiveTextField.name==field2) control.  Also, stage.focus won't work because the object isn't really on the stage, I guess.  There has to be a way to refer to the textField object.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Selection.setFocus(textfield) - "textfield" To Be Focused When Movie Loads

Mar 2, 2003

I don't really know what I'm doing I'm completely gone in my own code, I think I'm going around in circles!

[Code]...

Ok let me explain what I want to do: when my movie loads I want "textfield" to be focused, so I use Selection.setFocus(textfield); Fine! But on a frame before this I have a button to enter my site! Now as soon as you click this button it changes the focus so that when I enter the frame with the textfield it is no longer focused! Make sense? Well on this frame once the textfield is focused you can enter text right away! and then I have this listener which listens to an event within the textfield! Ok now I'm even more confused then when I started explaining this! Anyway I want the textfield to be focused when you enter this frame and if the user focuses something else, well then they will have to focus the textfield themselves. Basicly I just want the the textfield to be focused on load, but the problem is my button at the start! What?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Trace For 001, 002,003 Etc?

Dec 21, 2010

i'm preparing to do a tile based game, but i'm going to probably have access to at least maybe 20 tiles so i wish to do my tile map like this

var myArray:Array = [[001,001,001,001],
[001,000,002,001],
[001,015,000,001]];

that's a rough example. but to develop a map editor i need to be able to string a number will 0s preceding anything that is less than 100. is there an API for this or would i have to go with something like

if (a < 10) {
string = "00"+a;
} else if (a < 100) {
string = "0"+a;
}
