ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Text To Stage?
Oct 14, 2009
adding some text to the stage with AS3. I have never worked with text in in AS before (ie loading text via AS) and so I need some direction if someone is willing to give some.
I am loading pictures onto the stage via an array and some loaders. I want to add text to each image. Not sure where to start.... I sure I can figure out how to position them once I know how to load them. the loading part.
I have 9 different images on the screen at once and each one needs a name that I can specify the size, font, color etc. They are not changeable by the user.
If you need me to provide you with my code I can do that.

When I type text on the stage, especially long sentences, and Match Contents in Document Properties, the stage size is always off. See attachment.
Is this a common Flash problem, and what's the best way to deal with it? (CS4)

I am working through the Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book.The exercise is to enter TLF text onto the stage, when I do so all I get is a blue outlined box that appears in the upper left corner of the stage. I do not get a text cursor.When I open the supplied reference file for that chapter it also shows a number of blue outlined boxes, all in the upper left hand corner of the stage. When selected the properties manager indicates they are TLF text.

I have a few functions inside one of my objects (in this case, a box with code within it to let it become draggable.) However, I have this inside the box code:
Code:
function onComplete (event:Event):void {
var resultVar:URLVariables = new URLVariables( event.target.data );
if(resultVar.resultCheck == 1) {
saveresult_txt.text = "Save complete!";
[Code]...
This is because saveresult_txt.text is actually on the stage and not within the box element itself. How would I go about sending the text directly to the box on the stage?.

All of the words are 6 and 7 letters long.Heres my code:
Code:
public function placeletters():void {
for (var i:Number=0; i<numButtons; i++) {
textfield = new TextField();[code].....

I have created an AS3 FLA where I am parsing and displaying RSS text. I have traced the parsed text and displayed the text into dynamic text boxes on the stage no problem. However the line breaks in the traced text show up on stage as well. How does one strip out the <p> or </r> tags from the text to make the text one nice long line that will wrap using the length of the text box as it's parameters?

Text is placed on stage dynamically with a MouseEvent. This is functioning correctly. I want to create a tween for the text once it displayed using the same MouseEvent but can't get it to
work.
Here's a sample of what I have (Bold is what is not functioning) :
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonsEffect);
function buttonsEffect(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.alpha=1.0;
if(evt.target == D) {
sndD.play();

I have a input text box a and button on the stage. The Input text box contains the following:
my_txt.text = "This is a test";
When the user clicks the button it executes the following:
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = true;
my_txt.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);
When I start typing in the (my_txt) inputbox the text is not bolded. Am I missing something?

I have a DynamicText movie clip call mcShotsText. In my .as file I'm creating an instance via:
private var _mcShotsText:MovieClip;
_mcShotsText = new mcShotsText();
_mcShotsText.x = 300;
_mcShotsText.y = 300;
addChild(_mcShotsText);
If I make the symbol so that it starts with text, it displays that fine. I want to alter it in code throughout the course of the game. I was hoping this would work:
_mcShotsText.text = "I am a cample";

I just noticed that when you place a text field on the stage using code:
Code:
var texter:TextField = new TextField();
texter.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Impact", 68, 0xffffff);
texter.text = "890";
[code]....
It does not look the same as a text field that I placed on the stage in the Flash editer. The text created by code has very harsh edges, but the other text has smooth edges. How can I get my code TextField to look like the editor Text Field?

I'm facing problem regarding dynamic texts. My dynamic text is placed on the stage and instantiated. I'm setting the text value in AS by using textname.text = smthing... Initially it was showing the correct result on testing the movie clip.. But after few runs it started showing garbage values... When i traced the value, trace showed the correct result but not displayed properly on the dynamic text..I then deleted and recreated the texts.. After some trials od deleting and reinserting it started working fine.. But soon the problem creeped in.

Basically, I'm designing a site for 800x600 and almost all of my stages are 800x600, but because of an abundance of text, I streched one stage to 800x1365.
I realize I could just put the text in a text field that would fit in the original 600 but I'd rather not to avoid the weird look when viewed on a computer with a bigger screen resolution.
How can I add a regular browser scroll bar to my SWF that will remain on the edge of the screen regardless of resolution and scroll down the entire stage?
