i have a text field with text within it. Im wanting to get the line number of that text element once its clicked. Using an event listener I can get a specific value
PHP Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myTF.getLineText(0));
}
Of course I would have to use either an if statement or an if statement within a for loop, but what would I check it against?
in as3 how do i get the text of a textfield to know when to line break according to the width of the textfield.
View 4 RepliesI have a Dynamic TextField defined in the Flash Authoring Tool set to be multiline (cause the app can receive data from outside and it can be either 1 line or 1000 lines) but unfortunately the flash player just renders 1 line in the TextField, of a total that would have upwards of 100 lines.
I tried the following property:
textField.multiline = true;
but without success.
I use Flash CS4
I have the following code that loads items from an .xml file:
function ParseList(newXML:XML):void{ var pageList:XMLList = newXML.ITEM.@term; for each (var listItem:XML in pageList) { my_lst.addItem({label:listItem, data:listItem}); }
I'm trying to add the line number of the list item BEFORE the <label> in the displayed list.
I'm learning the Flex command-line debugger, and I haven't been able to find information on this particular use case.I'd like to add a breakpoint to a specific line in one of my class files. I can add breakpoints at the start of a function in a class, but I can't figure out how to set it at a specific line (e.g. line 117 in Foo.as)?When I try to set one for a file on a given line, I get one at a different location:(fdb) break Foo 111Breakpoint 1 at 0x######: file Foo.as, line 115I've verified the line # I'm specifying is valid, so I don't think the FDB is trying to compensate.

I have a bunch of text I am working with from XML and when I import it into my text field it becomes automatically indented on the first line. Is there a way to lose this indent? If I take off word wrapping it does make the indent go away, but then of course the text spans across further than the text field horizontally.
Here are some of the properties I have assigned to the text field I am using:
ActionScript Code:
myTextField.htmlText = txtPath; //txtPath is the loaded and parsed XML
myTextField.multiline = true;
myTextField.wordWrap = true;
How can I break the last word of a line in a textField so that it will break with a "-" if the word is too long.
The width of the textField is fixed.
I have a text field on the stage with an instance name and is set as a Multiline text field. I'm populating it with data from an XML file.When I test my movie...the text field cuts off the text at the end of the text field and does not wrap to a new line like the Multiline setting.I even added a line of code to say
ActionScript Code:
myText_txt.wordWrap = true;
and still got nothing.
I'm trying to create a background for a textfield like this: When I access the textWidth property it always seems to be the total width. Which is fine for all the lines expect the last. So it possible to access the width of the last line text?
View 8 RepliesI need to send the contents of an input textfield by GET to a php script. The problem is the input must be multiline, but cannot allow line breaks orelse it messes up the GET query. Is there anyway for me to replace the line breaks with a html encoded line break (I tried restricting the textfield to specific characters, but the return still caused line breaks)?
View 2 Replieshow do you erase last line of text from a multiline dynamic textfield, or last couple of lines?
View 3 Replieswhen I put WordWrap on in an input textfield, all characters off the width of the textfield get put on the next line. However, when I look at the htmlText property of that textfield, I see no evidence of such a line break.I've learned that's because it's a soft line break, and not a hard line break. My app has a feature that requries me to know the number of lines in the textfield. I had been calculating this by simply scanning through the htmlText property of the textfield and counting up the presence of "</p>". However, the wordwrap soft line breaks don't leave any evidence of such in the htmlText property

The stage width is 300px. I have the TextField for Question, wrapped set to true, so that if the Question is long it will continue to second line.Now the problem is i need to show options as radio buttons, say 10px below, where the question ends. But since i don't know the question consisted of two lines or one line, it becomes difficult for me to place the radio buttons programatically.How do i get the number of lines for a text field?
questionField = new TextField();
questionField.text = question;
questionField.width =280;

I'm trying to create a keypad, that when the number buttons are clicked, it will show the corresponding numbers in a textfield.
I'm also trying to get a random 6 digit number to appear in another textbox and when both the random textfield and keypad textfield are compared and found identical, it will go on to another frame.
Now! the problem is two fold:
1) the random number function isnt displaying the random number in the textfield. the text field is dynamic and called guessStringText. Heres the code im using for that..
var guessStringText:Number = getRandom(); //this is in the main fla
public function getRandom():Number { //this function is in an external AS3 file
var high:Number = 000001;
var low:Number = 999999;

I have very little experience with text in flash. In a dynamic text field I know I can apply a TextFormat to the entire field but can I apply different fromatting to individual workd in the field if for example I wanted to make a word or a few words of text a hyperlink within a textfield. Can I do that or would I need to use html text?
View 3 RepliesI want to be able to write a paragraph in a textfield, and then click and hold, or do some similar gesture, and have the entire paragraph selected. I'm then going to drag it (using bitmapdata or whatever) to another textfield.
In order to do this, I need to be able to detect where a given paragraph ends. So I'm trying to do that with the following code, which searches for " " in the text.

I have a TextField that uses a stylesheet and gets its text as htmlText. That text is read from an *.xml file with the neccessary CDATA tag. The htmlText is read correctly (I have a debug output to check that), and when displaying the .text attribute, it shows line breaks as expected. multiline, wordwrap and condenseWhite are enabled. No AutoSizing is done, instead I set width and height of the field manually.
But the text it actually shows on the screen is all shown in one line, with multiple lines being drawn in the same line. It also seems to interpret the html correctly, as the words with '<b></b>' around them are bold. Only the line breaks are not working. The height can't be the problem as I set it manually to a value high enough, and debug output shows that it really has that height.
This only happens when viewing the *.swf online and only with empty cache. When I press F5 in the window, the TextField works as intended. So it works offline and when it has already been loaded.
But the creation, scaling of the TextField and filling the TextField with text is all done in the same function, without any breaks so I really don't know how the cache could possibly affect this.
