ActionScript 3.0 :: Copy-fitting Dynamic Text Part2?
Feb 17, 2011
Wagster kindly posted this code to resize dynamic text, but i'm struggling to get it to work. I've saved the code below that he posted as a '.as' file and i'm trying to call and use the package in the as3 script on my first frame but having no joy?The code i'm trying to use is below wagsters:Wagsters:
Is it possible to tell a text box to auto fit to its text? What I mean is that when i change the size of a font to something smaller the text box remains its old large self. This is a problem because when I want to align this text with several other text boxes that have gone through similar treatment, the alignment will take into account the full box size rather than just the text.
So basically I have to go and manually shorten each text box. Which is a pain when you have to deal with a lot of text. Is there a script or button/option I'm not aware of that will auto fit the box constantly?
Refer back to : flex mobile TabbedViewNavigatorApplication back buttonI have 2 Tabs. Tab1 has 2 sub Views:Tab1Tab1subViewATab1subViewBTab2 subview...In Tab1 (Tab1SubViewA is the first View), -> I navigate to Tab1SubViewB (still under Tab1).How can I go back to previous view (Tab1SubViewA)? Note: it's not moving from Tab to Tab but moving from View to View all in the same Tab.code for Tab1SubViewA:
I need to select the text copy and paste the text in to clipboard.. i am able to select the text and on right click i have provided the menu for copying the text... after selecting the text, i am clicking the copy text option in the menu.. but it is not pasting the text..
A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.
I know preloader questions abound in this forum, and I am sorry to add to them! I am just having a bit of trouble retro-fitting my preloader into this code.The code below shows the launch button click function... which calls up an external swf. I just want it to preload this work, just for some reason having a hard time understanding how to make that happen. I have a preloader at the front of my site working with no problem, just having trouble figuring out how to add to this code...
stop(); next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NextFrame); function NextFrame (e:MouseEvent):void[code]...........
I have made my flash movie on a really wide screen, and i didnt realize that when I publish my movie, regular monitors cut off part of the movie...is there a way to get the broswer (mozilla/IE) to resize the flash movie so it fits on screen for the user without distorting the movie?
For some reason whenever I post my flash site online it does not fill the entire window properly. The scroll bar is always on the side making it so I have to scroll down to see the tiny bottom part that is cut off. And there is always a grey border surrounding the flash part of the site. Here is a link to the site so you can see what I'm talking about.

I don't know if this would effect it, but I have been manually changing the html to make it so that it fits 100%.
I have a text field with a dynamic amount of text. Now I would like to take the lines 1 to 10 and put them in one variable. And then the lines 11 to 20 and put them in another variable.
1: I have a pie chart which takes values from xml and as per the xml data draw pie chart.
2: I need to add images to some or all pie slices.
3: If I am going clockwise direction and I have reached slice number 3 ,then the image to be added to that slice have similar orientation to that pie slice.
4: I have loaded the pie images and made its bitmaps and then added it to some array say pieBitmapArr.
5: Now I need to add this bitmaps to individual pies.
6: Further the overall dimension of pie image and pie drawn doesn't match.
7: And when I use addChild method to individual slice ,all the picture arrange themselves at the top left i.e. 0,0 position of the stage.
8: I want the image to exaclty fit on pie drawn but I am not able to do it.
9: Further I have used slice.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData) but also it doesn't yield anything,just blank pie.
i've got 4 coodinates an need to fit a fit movie clip to them, so each corner of the movieclips is on one coordinate.The only thing i could find it tranforming it with a matrix and angles (see example), but these cant be the best solution for my problem to calculate all the angles etc.
var degX:Number = 0; var degY:Number = 0.3; //Get the transform matrix for the object to skew var m:Matrix = bild.transform.matrix;
I'm in a Flash Pro project with my View3D as big as the stage and I'm trying to make a cube of the dimension of the stage which would fit exactly the View. Practically the user shouldn't be aware of the presence of a 3D cube (until I animate it) How can I achieve this?
At the moment I am using _root.image.loadMovie(photo.jpg);to load a jpeg into a movieclip which results in the picture being loaded at its full size. Whats the best way to get it to fit to the "container" movieclips size.Also is there a way to get it to preserve its proportions so it doesn't stretch?
I have a created one complex button that I intend to use more than one. When I copy-paste the buttons in CS3 and try to change the text of just one, the text of every buttons is changed.I right-click on the button and select "duplication symbol" to change the features of the button independantly of the others. However the text never gets duplicated and all of my buttons show hte same text.
I have a TextField component that has some text added during the movie. This textfield has html set to true. The text that I am passing to it has html tags.
I want to copy the plain text that is displayed during the movie from the textfield to the clipboard without the html tags.
Edit 04/04/11: It turns out that the UTF encoding was just hiding a bigger problem. I initially thought it was the UTF encoding as setting that seemed to solve the search problem, but it was more to do with how mongodb was serialising the search key in the background
I'm using Flash to create a small tool to generate db info for mongodb. It will generate something like:
And display that in a TextField so I can just copy and paste it directly into the db.
My problem comes with mongodb being unable to find that info later. After much debugging, the problem boiled down to the text not being entered in UTF-8 format. i.e., in order to make it work, I'd have to copy the line of text from Flash, paste it into something like Notepad++, set the encoding to UTF-8, then copy that text into the db.
is there a way to either specify that I want to generate the text as UTF-8 or copy as UTF-8 from the TextField to avoid having to have this extra step in my workflow.
I am loading a external swf in to a movieclip.. now i need to copy and paste the text available inside the external swf. i tried with setclipboard method to copy the text inside that, but it is not working for me..i have attached the code for your reference..
I'm working for a client that needs me to put a lot of information into flash. He had someone do all the typing and all that in word, with formating and I went through and changed text colors where needed, and now when I'm trying to put it all into flash, it doesn't take any formatting at all. No indents, none of the bold settings, and none of the color settings. I really can't re-do all of the formatting, it would take ages and ages. There must be some way to get this formatting into flash from word (actually using a free program called bean, because i can't even get a copy/paste from word to work at all)
i have a problem with the line space flash creates when a dynamic text is loaded in a dynamic text field on the stage i put a dynamic textFild with istance name "profile_text". then im loadin in it a text. my text is written in the Notepad like this
[Code]...
i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
All I want to do is add text from my string to dynamic text field when I click dynamic buttons. What should the as code be for this? Here is my code. Right now I just have the click returning another shape.
But again, a little more descriptive. I have a editable text section set up like
Artist - (Editable text section) Your email - (editable text section) Link - (Editable text section) (send) - Sends to my email
And I want to make it so people can copy a paste a link from lets say you tube on to it.
I have the text in TLF format to allow it so I can change the color of the input box where the text is located. (Because I do not know how to do it on classic) how to make the box color of the editable text section a different color other then white? (If its a problem.)
Whenever I try to copy and paste as is it shows up but its in a different text style, and its hidden. (That may just be because my text box is black as well.) but i'd still like it to have the same text style when you do paste.)
I am using a Text Field as an Input for password, I set the displayAsPassword to true, and it shows * instead of chars, but I still can copy the content and paste on another Text Field to see what Ive tiped! In the Adobe AS3 manuals its says that the copy and cut should be disabled automatically but its not!! I am using Flex Open Source, may it be a bug?
