I use XML which has HTML text embedded in it. When i m displaying this text in Flash it gets displayed with spaces I m using AS 3.0,I have also used
<Xml_Variable>.ignorewhitespaces= true
but still not working
I have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
I need to trim away away all the extra spaces that a users types into my input text field. I know that there are a few ways possible, but i'm not sure how to go about doing it.

View 1 Repliesi am still new in dealing with flash and what have you posted is very useful, but i want to ask you a question regarding the button function. i want to relate a button with a certain text but it's a big paragraph so when i have made the example on the site the display in the output box is not good enough i want the text to be displayed as a paragraph not a straight line.

In other words, a user typing 'John Smith' would just display 'JohnSmith'.
I'm slowly converting my older Director-made tutorials to Flash. The user inputs text, and then I evaluate it. Before this evaluation, I want to remove spaces to avoid the user's input being counted incorrect because of an extra space. How do I do this for Flash CS5?
Here's what I did for Director.

I made the following function to fade in and out four clips:
Code:
function fadeSq (clips, fade, speed){
while (clips.length){
clips[0].onEnterFrame = function(){
var fadeOut = fade - this._alpha;
[code]....
and I'm calling the code this way:
Code:
this.fadeSq ([btn_about_us, btn_Products, btn_product_codes, btn_contact_us], 0, 3);
As you al can see am I using underscores in the call back function, which I don't want because I want to display the information in a dynamic textfield. But when I leave open spaces I get all kind of errors. How can I prevend this?

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to eliminate additional spaces in text variables? Example: The forum already eliminate the spaces. Imagine that "_" is space on the following sentences:
text = "__________KirupaForum______is_the__best____Flash_ tutorial____site_of_the___World_______"
Eliminating spaces...
text = "KirupaForum_is_the_best_Flash_tutorial_site_of_th e_World".
I am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.
I was wondering if it's possible to have a dynamic text box that can change sizes, without distorting the text displayed in it... I would also like to set it up dynamically.
View 4 RepliesI have been trying to get this working right for days and it is driving me crazy. It should be very easy, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I'm loading in an external text file, which is fine, but the problem is with how it is displaying.
It should look like the attached word file. But when I paste it in a text file it gets messed up. A sample of that is attached as well. I have tried making it look the same in the notepad file, but that doesn't come out right in the flash.
I have tried everything, importing as html, using xml files, copying the text into different programs and then into the text file.

View 1 RepliesJust to give you a little background, I am using CS4 and AS3, publishing to FP9. I am embedding fonts dynamically at runtime and there seems to be an issue with my dynamic 'html' text field when I have <b> tags within the CDATA.
In some cases, Flash seems to be rendering the bold text too close to the preceding character. Sometimes, even overlapping the preceding character. For the most part, this appears to be happening when the bold text appears at the end of the line before the text is wrapped.
I will note that, any text in the xml file wrapped in <b></b> tags is actually appearing bold, so I don't think it has anything to do with font embedding. In case it does, here is how I am embedding the font groups:
// Semi Bold
[Embed(source="/fonts/Anvers/AnversSemiBold.otf", fontName="AnversSemiBold", fontWeight="normal", fontStyle="regular", advancedAntiAliasing="true", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public static const ANVERS_SEMI_BOLD:Class;
Just started working in CS5 (missed a few versions) and getting very frustrated. Don't do much flash work so still a beginner. However what is frustrating me is that I have started to create my web flash animation, I have my company logo which is animated and music playing but for some reason whenever I put any text into the document and then test play (or export to swf) the text does not appear.
I have no idea what is happening. I have uploaded the project to [URL] would some be able to take a look for me and tell me what I am doing wrong. All I have done is used the text tool to insert some plain static text. I have never had this problem in the past. Frame 170 is where the text begins.
how to display a large amount of text inside of Flash CS4. I have a 46 page pdf I would like to display but I would really like to keep it internal to Flash...I don't want to link it out to a separate html page if I don't have to (i.e. through a URLRequest). I would like to have one self-contained swf file.

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a dashboard with a lot of buttons that will display pieces of text from an XML file. The trouble is, I can't figure out how to clear the text from a field once it is displayed. If I push another button, the new data will replace the old data, but if the new button is display a smaller data set, it will only replace some of the former data set and the rest stays displayed. Does that make sense? I found some code that clears the text fields, but I don't know where to put it:

View 5 RepliesI have a nice little Javascript that displays the date and line of text beneath it. It works great in a regular html page but now I am upgrading my page to flash but still would like and still would like to use this script (since I pretty much the whole year filled in, one line of text for each day). I tried to load it in a dynamic text box by geturl but I think I had the wrong actionscript.[code]
View 2 Repliesthere is a menu, and when i press a btn, it attaches a movieclip with some textfield in there. the text reads the xml tags, but doens show the css styles.i got this so far:

//init TextArea
Textos.texto_txt.html = true;

the css file is good, xml loaded correctely, everything seams ok, exept for my textfield. it simply doesnt read the <spam class"someStyle"></spam> i also did the <![CDATA[ ]] on the xml.
When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
I have been asked to add support to a xml based website. I have been looking into it and have realised that it is not going to be very straight forward. The text does have english phrases in when describing products being used.
After doing some research I have found that CS3 does not 'support' rtl text. I also read that CS4 has added support, is this worth looking into? I read that it was buggy.
I found FlarabySWF which does what I think I am after, but not for all the languages I need, and only at design time rather than runtime.
I also found Gchats TextBox 3.0.0 but this didn't seem to work.
I also found some solutions using CSS, but these didn't seem to work with multiline text. See this example. It also didn't work as the text I am trying to display is bi-directional ..
Actualy, importing Arabic text is not a problem, but dealing with bidirectional text of Arabic and English within the same line is a big one.
I have a SWF file that is loading text from an xml file. The text loads and animates fine when viewing it embedded in an html page zoomed to 100%. It even looks fine when loading at 100% and then zooming in. My problem is that the text field will not display when the page reloads while zoomed at anything other than 100%. It gets even weirder because everything is fine if I set the text of the dynamic field via a static string, the same string as in the xml file.
