ActionScript 3.0 :: Anchor Tag In HtmlText Not Working?
Apr 18, 2008
I have a flex Text field that previously I was declaring and initializing as pure flex mxml. The htmlText field had an anchor tag in it that worked just fine. I'm declaring and initializing this Text field in an mx:script block, and the anchor tag no longer is recognized. Every other concievable tag work as before - <font, <u, and so on - but not <a. For example in the following:
txt1.htmlText = "<u><a href='http://www.google.com'>testing</a></u>";
the text is underlined but there is no link and the cursor doesn't change.
More maddening arbitrary b.s. from flex/as3.

I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?

I'm working on a project and I'm encountering an issue with Flash's sporadic support of HTML 1.01 for textboxes that use .htmlText.The "Title" attribute is not supported for showing tooltips when you hover over the link.For instance, in an HTML document, a href='index.html' title='Click Here' will show 'Click Here' in a hovering tooltip box. It doesn't display in Flash.Anyone know of a good work around? I found this page: have yet to get it working with my text. For instance, I have one textbox, and the URL links are set for various words. This means I don't have the coordinates to set my X and Y for the fake hover effect.

the following code works on everything except Chrome:
<a target="_blank" href="/FooodJournal">
<object width="265" height="135">
<param name="movie" value="2991BCTTor/xx.swf">
[Code]....
Flash is being used to create an animated button, and the anchor tag makes it so you can click on that to go to another page. On most browsers, you can click anywhere on the Flash object and the link works...but in Chrome, the link displays in the status bar when you hover over the flash element, but does nothing when you click it. However, there is a small area (about 19px) below the flash element where the link works.
How can I get this to behave the same way in Chrome as it is in other browsers?

i'm a novice to ActionScript but from failed Google function searches, i think i've choosen an advanced i hope possible task: how to read then apply bezier, anchor point and handle positions to different anchor points. What i need to do is precisely align a rectangular closed bezier path with a randomly shaped closed bezier path, both with the same number of anchor points.

I have a textfield on stage, and I gave it an instance name "iText". I even turrned on the "Render As HTML text" Icon and embeded the font that I used. Then in my actionscript on the keyframe I wrote:
iText.html = true;
iText.embedFonts = true;
iText.htmlText = "<b>WORKS!!!!</b>"
when I preview this, nothing show inside the text field, this is mind boggling, and I'm yet to know what is wrong here. I use Flash 8 by the way. The really strange thing is that when I do:
iText.htmlText = "WORKS!!!!"
the text shows up, but just with no html format, since I removed the bold tags, so something is wrong along the lines of those tags or something else I am not aware of.

I have a simple class which contains a TextField. The textfield is populated with data from an XML file.i am using the code:
txtField.htmlText = xmlElement.node.node.text();
txtField.setTextFormat(txtFmt);
If i don't use any HTML tags, it displays fine. But if I add tags, such as <a> or <b>, etc... the text within the tags does not display. For example, if in the XML text i have:
<node>For more information, <a href='
http://www.link.com'>Click
Here</a> to see the information.When I run the flash move, it displays:For more informationto see the information.If i remove the <a> tags, it displays fine.

why does font embedding in Flash have to always be so difficult? I'm trying to add a new font for use in htmlText and its not working. I have a dynamic text box on the stage. I have Helvetica Medium, Helvetica Bold and Futura Bk and Futura Bk Bold fonts embedded using the Font Embedding panel. All four of these fonts work fine when I do the following:

I understand that when applying html text to a textfield you can have an anchor tag call a specific function. however, is if you can call a function on rollover of the anchor tag?
Example:
Instead of this...
<a href='asfunction:_root.test'>Click here to call the test function</a>
I'd like this...
<a href='' onMouseOver='asfunction:_root.test'>Rollover here to call the test function</a>

I'm hoping this is very easy as I'm not very proficient in flash/as3. but from the looks of things it might be a bit complicated ..how would I go about calling an anchor id such as the one below:
<a id="v_toggle" href="#">toggle</a>
I want to toggle a javascript slide in the html page.

Is there a better way to have a symbol's anchor point default to the size of the stage? I'm having Huge problems because if two symbols are different sizes then I can't tell two objects to be in the same location.The workaround seems terrible. I have a guide layer for stage bounds. I'd have to duplicate that, add that to the objects that I'm going to want to convert to a symbol first, then remove it after it's converted. Is there anyway to automate any of that? That just seems like a terrible task to repeat over and over. I suppose one option is to have a blank symbol that is the correct size already, duplicate that in the library, rename it, put that on the stage, then put your objects in there. Wow, I'm not sure if that's better or worse!

Flash knows where the anchor point is in 3D space in order for the symbol to rotate around it, but I can't seem to figure out how to see the coordinates of the anchor point or type in new ones. Please tell me how to do this. I am already very annoyed that Lynda, a pay service, doesn't think this is vital information. Apparently they think we would never want to do anything more visually stimulating than one simple spinning logo! But I digress...
Just to be clear, I know how to move the anchor point visually on the stage, but I want accuracy. I want to be able to give two symbols the exact same coordinates to rotate around.

I think I discovered a bug. Say this is a line with anchor points:
x---x---x---x---x---x---x
And this is what I want to achieve using the Delete Anchor Point Tool:
x-----------x-----------x
Then this is as far as I'm actually able to get:
x-------x---x-----------x
Because for some reason, if I delete the 2nd anchor point, the 3rd will be deleted too. I can, however, delete the 3rd without deleting the 2nd.
It is only after I've moved the 3rd further away that I'm able to delete the 2nd, but this gets tiring after a while.

Cryptic title, but it's hard to explain. With Firefox, head over to [URL] do a random search, and then drag the first search result to the URL bar. You'll see it it goes to the page that had the image anchor. Then click the "see full size image" link, and then drag the image to the address bar. In the first example, it copied the anchor, not the image, to the address bar. And in the second example, it took the URL of the image itself. Is there a way to get to the image inside the anchor?
I'm using a drop target that's in an iframe on another domain, so targetting the img's directly and adding JS events is out. I don't expect to be able to do this with straight JS (though I hope). In fact I'm not even sure if flash/actionscript can do this! My thought is I need to set up a drop target and get details about the element that was dropped... if it's an anchor, I can dive into the DOM and get the img inside it. This, of course, assumes that the DOM element itself is what's being dragged and that the browser isn't just copying the link.

I'm using a little flashmovie as a button on a website, and I'm trying to link it to not only a certain page but also a specific place on that page. Right now I'm using the following code:
getURL("SS-nieuws-flash.htm#opendagen", "_self");
This only gets me to the right page, but not the right place on that page. Can this be done in Flash. I haven't been able to find any examples of it in the manual or on the web.

I have a database popping out XML documents. I need to access those docs from Flash and parse
through them. The docs occasionally have
<a href="bla.xml#ID(123)">
formatted links.
I need to convert that to work in Flash but I cant change the XML. I figured that I will have to parse through things line by line and strip out values of ***.xml and the ID# but I have no idea how to construct a link that will load, retarget the myText object and then jump to the anchor in XML/html format. Are Anchor tags allowed?

Is it possible to create anchor links in text within a scrollpane. I created text with a list of questions at the top of the list and answers at the bottom of the list. I want to be able to click on a question and jump down the list to the answer within the scrollpane. Similar to anchor links in html.

I've got a flash animation of an extruding box drawn frame-by-frame for a "hand drawn" effect. The problem is that I now need to make twice as many frames to allow the box to extrude twice as far, and the canvas is too small to support this; the box would end up outside of bounds. I've tried resizing the canvas, but the extended space is at the opposite end of the canvas from where I need it. In photoshop you could chose where the added space "grew from" but I don't see that option here. Anyone knw a work around It'd be a pain in the tail to have to move very object in every frame for every layer.
