ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Hyperlinks In Dynamic Text?
Nov 15, 2011
Im retrieving tweets, so i have dynamic text, but i the tweets occasionally contain hyperlinks. I know you can find the hyperlinks in text. But every technique i have tried has failed, i think its because there searching through an array and then converting that to a string
Well heres my code:
function userTimelineResult(e:TwitterEvent):void
{
for (var i in e.data)
{
[Code].....

I have a dynamic textbox on the 3rd level of a flash movie. The textbox has some hyperlinks for which I used this AS2 code as a test:[code]When I test the scene it works well on all levels apart from the root level. When I test the whole movie, the link does not respond. On rollover the mouse converts into a text cursor, and I have to click several times, until randomly a hand comes up and the link opens. I don't understand why on all sublevels (in the movieclips), the link works perfectly (on rollover mouse becomes hand and click loads URL int browser), but not on the root level. Btw, I placed the movie with the textbox on top, so there is no layer above that in the root timeline.

Is it possible to control aspects of a movie clip using hyperlinks within a dynamic text box?I am using LoadVars to import text from an external .txt file into a dynamic text box,and although I can create simple hyperlinks (using <a> tags) within the box that can redirect the current page to a new URL, is it possible to have links which work within the flash movie - i.e. navigating to another scene?

I have a movie with two objects; one movieClip with the instance name 'ballInstance' one dynamic text field with the instance name 'textInstance'
The MC is draggable. I'd like my SWF to repeatedly check the MC's x position in relation to the stage's width so that if the ball is on one side of the SWF, the text bos says "left" and if it's on the other side, the text box says "right".
I got the ball to be draggable/releasable. If the ball starts on one side, the text box says left, if it starts on the other side, the text box says right.
BUT for some reason it doesn't update the text when you move the ball. (the MC is a ball.)
How can I tell the SWF to actively re-determine the ball's x-position, and then change the text, if needed?
**full code below, .FLA attached.**
Code: Select allvar stageWidth:Number = Stage.width / 2; /*stageWidth = the width of the stage.*/
var ballX:Number = ballInstance._x; /*ballX = the x position of the ball.*/
/* this will let the user drag around the ball.*/

I'm working on an A.S 2 document that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size.At the minute I'm trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one.
Africadetails.autoSize = true;
Africaname.autoSize = true;
Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);
AfricaURL._y = (Africadetails._y) + (Africadetails._height) + (10);

I'm new to flash as a whole but it is necessary for a project that I'm working on. How to make a scrolling dynamic text box through trial and error, and I'm proud of that feature. But now I need to know if two things are possible. Can I create a hyperlink (if I can call it that) that will pull documents off of the web? And if so what is a sample function. The second thing I would like to know is can I embed an image file into that dynamic text box? If so how can I do that.

i'm loading text into flash via XML, into a dynamic textfield. so when populated, eg:
Name: xxxx
URL: www.xxxxx.com
Description: This is a test
Name: zzzz
URL: www.zzzz.com
Description: This is a test2
is there a way that while populating the text. i can also make them as hyperlink?
example. site 1, xxxx, when URL is loaded www.xxxxx.com, user can immediately click on the text and navigate to the URL.
from all my sources, event listener must be added. So do I have to create individual textfield in order to hold the URL?

I have created a flash website and have encountered a problem. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0.I have created a text box (at the moment it is Dynamic because I have it scrolling) with text entered into it. I want hyperlink sections of the text to other frames within the flash movie. The text box is on the "news" frame - this is a page for archived news. I want to highlight pieces of the text and create hyperlinks to each of the archived news stories (each of which is on a different frame).I know how to create buttons from text and link them to different frames, however I do not want to do this because I want to maintain the text box (with hyperlinks within the text box) so that I can make this page scrollable.I have tried highlighting the text and hyperlinking it to the frame number, to the frame name, to the frame anchor, ec..

I want to create a page with art work where images are pulled externally and the items in the grid also have text and are clickable (all taken from XML).I succesfully extracted information from XML and am using a for loop to create my image gird but not sure this is the best method? I have used an XML gallery tutorial from Republic of Code to get me started. Below is the for loop what I am struggling with at the moment is that the product images are not loading into the individual movie clips.Im new to AS3 so sorry if I am doing this all wrong.
Code:
function callProductThumbs():void {
//Loops through the XML Lists as defined by external Web Service

So, I have a dynamic text box, which, naturally, being dynamic, changes. What I would like to figure out is how to tell when the changing text is larger than the textbox holding it. Of course, just because it is a certain number of characters long doesn't mean it will be larger than the textbox holding it. Twenty of the letter "w" is larger than twenty of the letter "i" So, is there a way to tell if the textbox isn't large enough to hold its text?

I have to validate a textfield in AS3 if there are chars like # $ % @ ~ | {} [] / etc. i.e find unnecessary chars and remove them from the textfield. I use a search AS3 function which works with regular expressions, I would like a regular expression so that a search function searches the characters above and if it finds any of them then returns true.

I have a dynamic text field in flash that is populated by an input box. The dynamic text field has a maxmium width it can be. So i have it as multiline WITH wodrwap on. My problem is that I have to send this data to server and for the php to be able to text the text and output the text as it is displayed in flash. There seems to be no way of finding the linebreaks and passing them in the string as far as I can see?

I'm having troubles with textfields. I have numerous textfields on the stage but it's happening to all so I'll just describe one.Lets say I have an input textField named that I restrict to allow only numbers 0-9:inputText_txt.restrict="0-9";That all works fine.THE PROBLEM:When I select the field (which initial value is set to "0") and hit delete it clears the field and if I press ENTER it will accept that as a value.I've tried this code to say if it equals " " then to not save the file....
if(inputText_txt.text==" "){
trace("."+inputText+".");
}

I'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

Problem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
