I have a MovieClip button control, I want to change the size of the displayed text of the label. I want to know whether there is a syntax to access the Label object of the MovieClip. I tried getChildAt(i) over the instance of the movie clip; but the label is a String property and is not a child of the movie clip instance.
View 3 RepliesI am Carlos, I am working on a little App in Flash CS5 but I cant find the way to set a Font Style to a label or button components.
The program just add values to a variable and print it to the label, that works perfect, the problem is that when I test the app, the text size in the label and button are so small that they are useless.
As a Workaround I add a text with TextTool in which I can set "Character" in list of properties, but no "Character" section in list of properties for Label or Button.
In my application, I allow the user to change the font of a text field. They use a combobox component to select the font. Can I change the font of each individual label in the combobox to match the font it is named? Like, Microsoft Word style.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});

However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
I've got FormItems with labels, and I'd like for the label to appear on top of the textinput within it rather than to its left, but I don't know where I need to go or what CSS I need to set this.
<mx:Form id="myform" defaultButton="{BtnSave}">
<mx:FormItem label="MyData" required="true">
<s:TextInput id="dataTextInput" text="{data}"/>

View 1 RepliesI have a static text with Arial font style and looks on screen as normal, and I have many dynamic text fields with their text font is set to Arial by AS3.the code is here:

I'm using some fonts embedded in SWF in a program I'm developing. I need to use some specific font style like '37 Thin Condensed' and '26 Ultra Light Italic' etc... how can I specify these style when using fonts? I want to set style using AS3 code...
View 1 RepliesDoes as3 have any way to determine if a font can support certain styles, e.g. bold & italic.
Something like .NET's isStyleAvailable
I am working on a as3 project in which the user select a font from Combo Box and that font SWF should be loaded Dynamically and then i need to change the font of the Dynamic text field.
I have swf font files downloaded from [URL]
My question is that how can i load the font swf dynamically from server and add them to the library and how can i use that swf to change the font of dynamic text field.
if there are embedded fonts in library the i can access them using this- --
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}
But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.
I need to present chemical formulas with subscripts and superscripts in a dynamic text box. To do this, I've downloaded and embedded the GG Subscript and GG Superscript fonts, created a dynamic text box with Arial as the font, and added ActionScript code to change the font when I need subscripts and superscripts. the following is a simplified version of my code.
[Code].....
I get a compiler error 1119 Access of possibly undefined property html through a reference with static flash.text:TextField. The text box is a dynamic text box, not static, so I'm puzzled.I don't get this error with the GG Subscript code above.

When i change the font size and font color i get the result i want.But when i try to change the font-family, or to make a part of text in italics or bold i fail to get what i want.I also tried this:
<font style="font-style:italic">my text</font>with no success
I wonder if there is any way (in AS3) to detect font style of the text loaded into dynamic text field (via PHP).

So I thought, that would be okay and the text of my s:Label will be formatted with this special font. But the output is the normal font. By changing the "s:Label" to a "mx:Label", the font is "loaded". So, what can I do that the font will work with s:Label?

View 3 RepliesI'm building a small Flex UI component that displays a colored square next to a label of text. I want to be able to specify a size for the square and internally adjust the label's properties such that the line height matches the square and the text is vertically centered with respect to the square.
At the moment, I'm using mx.controls.Label for the text. Setting the fontSize style to the square's size does not work, the label then becomes too big. After tracing a couple of values in the debugger, I found that
the line height of the internal text field (sum of the ascent and descent properties of the TextFieldMetrics object obtained through getTextFieldMetircs()) seems to end up about 120% of what I specify a s font size.there's a default "leading" of 2 pixels that I can not change directly at the Label level, this adds to the overall height of the internal text field (getTextFieldMetrics().height)the height of the Label component then is an additional 5 pixels larger than that, I don't know where those come from.
I am trying to get the horizontal label of a ColumnChart rotated by 45°. I already know the font needs to be embedded for this to work, but now, my label are being truncated. Note that it worked in a basic chart proof-of-concept I made months ago, but now it is integrated in a panel with a verticalLayout, label are truncated.

Note that if I use the style for the vertical axis, I also get the number truncated to the first digit.
I can change the color of the label in Flex Builder, I can even BIND the color to a variable and that works, but I can't find the Color PROPERTY in order to change or reference it programatically! What is the ActionScript 3.0 code to change the font or color of a piece of text in a Flex RIA - or is caring in what color your text appears too bizzarre a request for a RIA? I wrote whole applications after just minutes of "learning" flex, how come it's taken me three days and I still can't change the color of my stupid label?
