I've got an XML document that contains text.The text is read in and put into a HTML format text box.I want my text to have new line characters.I've tried using <br> hoping this would work in the HTML text, but this doesn't work.Is there a special character code I can use?
View 5 RepliesI managed to write some PHP which writes some XML including the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<subjects>
<subject>
<ID>1</ID>
[code]...
And well... this is where I'm stumped. What I need to do is read "position" and "menu_name_ice" (or in fact any of the "menu_name_*" but let's start with the first one) and, using Kirupa's excellent tutorial, that worked just fine except I need to read just one "subject" at a time, not all of them (there are plenty more, all in the same syntax).I'm using "position" to determine the posting order of "menu_name_*" to the stage and "visible" to determine whether or not to do so.
I'm designing a maze type of game. The character can only walk on a line. I'm trying to test if thecharacter is on the line (land). If he isn't on the line, he isn't supposed to move (i.e. disable the arrows that control him). The easiest way I thought to test this, is to test the color the character is on. (The line is "66CC00" and the rest is "999999").My code:
HTML Code:
var land:Boolean = false;
var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(this.width, this.height, false);

View 4 RepliesI created something that'll allow me to have a character and walk with it, but I did this all in the document class. And because this is going to be more complicated I wanted to move that to a Character class. So I did this:
[code]...
Now the issue is when is on the line in my character class that calls the new Character(); Because when I comment it out, I don't get it anymore.I get this error: Error: Error #2136: The SWF file ..../vs.swf contains invalid data.at VelunaStory()I don't think it's anything inside the Character class because I tried commenting out all the functionality so it's just a shell of a class and I still get this error.
Using AS2, how can I have a character movie clip walk along a line/curve without falling through it? By this I mean the character could say, walk over a hill whilst jumping (falling back down due to gravity physics) but would not fall through the curve that represents the hill.An example of this would be BMX star or BMX backflips and any game that is a side-on view of a character walking.
View 1 RepliesMy dynamic textfield doesen't show special characters (%&+...). I have emped the font(uppercase, lowercase, numerals, PUNCTUATION and basic latin) and I've also tried to render it as html.for example:flash.addVariable("newtext"," Word & word2");AC2myTextfield.text = _root.newtext;then it prints just "word", because flash doesen't understand character & as a text format;locally it worked finemyTextfield.text = "Word & word2;";
View 4 RepliesSo I have a simple game I'm making where you are a box shaped character and you have basic movement around the screen. I know how to make walls and the coding but I would like to make a wall that the character can't go through on either of the 4 sides or even a squiggly line that doesn't have a definite shape. I used this coding:
[Code]...
And that does kind of work, but it's not stable (works better with one side only). Sometimes one side of the wall, the character will still be able to go through. The tool I'm using to make the wall is a rectangle tool if that makes any difference. And I'm on actionscipt 2.0 on adobe flash cs4.
I have made this simple script that loads log messages from an external text file:

I would like to show some images and text in the same line. The text and image is completely dynamic. At first I thought to use htmlText property of TextField as img tag is supported. Something like this:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.htmlText = "before img <img src='img.png'> after image";
addChild(tf);
But I found that the image is showing in the next line, not in the middle of two text segments. Then after checking the manual of TextField I have found that this is the documented behavior that the image will be shown on the line following the img tag.
So what is the best way to do this? Note that the text and position of images are completely dynamic.
I understand that it is possible to split the input in a series of texts and images and then position them calculating the text and images width. In other words parse the input ourselves.
Is there any better way to do this? Or is there any library available that does this parsing?
Specifically, I want to know what the commands are... all the flags it produces and passes to mxmlc.
View 2 RepliesI am stuck with a requirement to display a horizontal line on a ColumnChart to indicate a threshold level. I have the data to the Chart as an ArrayCollection.
Is it possible to get the location of a value that is shown on the y axis? I think I will be able to place a line or 1px high canvas on top of the Chart to achieve this. Or better, is there any built in functionality that i may have overlooked or is there some open library that can achieve something like this?
I'm trying to show a horizontal line under each row of text in a Spark TextArea. I want to give the text area the look of legal paper.

What I have now:
Code:
var clip:Shape = new Shape();
addChild(clip);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startLine);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drawLine);
function startLine(evt:MouseEvent) {
clip.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);

I need a small help on Flex Line Chart. I am using FlashBuilder 4 and doing a simple application in flex. I am displaying a graph with 10 random values and based on the values i am trying to change the itemrenderer values like CandlestickItemRenderer and BoxItemRenderer. Now my requirement was, if the values are > 10 i want to show my chart with CandlestickItemRenderer else i want to show the remaining spots as BoxItemRenderer. I am failing to do this. Either i am getting all the shapes as BoxItemRenderer or CandlestickItemRenderer. i am sending the code as a text file along with this.

View 10 RepliesI have firefox 3.6.15 with flash debug version 10.3. whenever an error occurs a popups comes up with the error and a stack trace but it does not line numbers of each leaf in the stack trace which makes it more difficult to debug. how to configure it to actually show line numbers ?
I think it may relate to how I compile my flash application. (i think!) i use eclipse FDT 4.2 to compile and i added the following compiler flags: -debug=true -compiler.verbose-stacktraces i think these parameters should be enough but I may be wrong.

View 2 Replieson my stage are 5 buttons, each with the name of a product. i want to be able to hover over each product and see a Description of the product with a "learn more" link at the bottom of the description. the problem is that i want the Descriptions for each product to appear in the exact same place.
if the hit area of each button covers only the button itself, you can't click the "learn more" link because it disappears when you move off the buttonif the hit area of each button covers the Description area, the hit areas overlap each other. this causes the Description to always show the same thing (i think it is the Description of the last button i added) if you are hovering over anything besides an actual button.
I've got a problem when I need to display (19.99 * 100 - 1999) on the screen. When I trace it, it will show -2.27373675443232e-13. The problem is that 19.99*100 != 1999. I can use Number(( 19.99*100 ).toString()) to get 1999 exactly using Action Script 2, but this method failed using Action Script 3.
View 3 RepliesI have decided to give XML a go, so I thought I would start with something small : ) and give creating a dynamic menu a try.
I load my menu headings using textField and I can not get my code to find out the actual length of each menu heading. It all produces 100. I wanted to get each individual lengths so I can divide it by 2 and positon that to the center of my menu buttons.
I am also try to turn my menu buttons into buttons, so I can add my eventlisteners, but it doesnt seem to work. The menu text seems to get in the way, even though I made them non selectable.

<menu title="1">Home</menu>

Any way to get the exact position for every character inside a textflow?, also I'm having trouble with the TLF documentation, is there anny documentation that shows more on how to work with it in actionscript rather than mxml, I am looking to write my own component and perhaps not use richtexteditor if I don't need to. How to get each characters position in the textflow:
private function getCharPosition():void {
for (var i:int=0; i<=textController.flowComposer.numLines; i++) {
var textFlowLine:TextFlowLine = textController.flowComposer.findLineAtPosition(i);
var textLine:TextLine = textFlowLine.getTextLine();
trace('number of atoms in this line: ' + textline.atomCount);
[Code] .....
This returns an error that's why I have try and cache, I have tried to change textLine.atomCount to -1 but that wont work either. Now I don't know what character exactly that I have the position for.
Here's my AS:
ActionScript Code:

I have a text box called whatToClick which contains the words (copy and pasted) SWEATSHIRT. As such, that should trigger checkMask(), which checks if the clicked item is the same as the one in the text box. While running various trace commands, the string traces out exactly the same, capitals and all. But this always runs the else instead, which means the if isn't true. [URL]
