how to get rid of hanging indent?
I load a simple XML text into a dynamic TextField (Flash CS4):
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
<b>TITLE</b>
[Code]....
Maybe I could use myTxt.condenseWhite = true; but dont know how to aply line breaks there.
This is the data, and you can see that it has an indent on its first line.
Where I would like to see this:
This is the data, and you can see that it does not have an indent on its first line.
Some of the code,
// Define variables
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I suspect that it has to do with prettyIndent and prettyPrinting, and I could not make it to work.
I'm importing text from a .xml file, in that file my text is formatted with HTML and an imported StyleSheet. The problem is...

The indentation shown here by the red rectangle. I tried to remove it while using text-indent:0; in my css. didn't work..
Does anyone have any idea how to indent text on every line? I am alligning my text to the border of my movieclip wich has a diagonal border. So when i add my text it should indent for example: 2px on line 2, 4px on line 3, 6 on line 4, 8 on line 5, etc. Would there be an easy way to do this?
View 1 RepliesAre there any scripts to auto-indent an actionscript 3 file? I want to standard the check-in to source control, and this way, it'll be uniform (instead of mixing spaces and tabs).
View 1 RepliesI 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;
I use PopUpButton object and inside a Menu object. For some reason it has default text indent (even when an icon is not defined). How can I remove this indent?

View 2 Replies've made a Flash app in as3. When it's executed in Firefox everything works fine, but in ie7 it's hanging. When the app is executed an xml is loaded. When the xml is loaded from the server, everything works fine, but when the xml is loaded from te webcache, the app starts hanging.

View 15 RepliesI'm having a problem changing the value of a global variable.
I'm using the xml photogallery thats available on Kirupa. I have 2 movies on the main timeline: the galley movieclip and a navigation movie clip. I want the buttons in the navigation clip to change the global varable 'section' and this to be passed to the galley xml load function. So far i have this for the button:
Code:
gallery1button.onRelease = function(){
_root.nav.select(0);
_global.section= "gallery1";
};
I am using php to deliver the xml data dynamically to flash so I only have one xml file for several galley section. the AS looks like this:
Code:
xmlData.load("photos_xml.php?section="+_global.section);
It doesnt seem to be working though.
I'm trying to get a light that is hanging from the top of the page by a chord to be drag-able and then for them to be able to let go and the light swing back and forth. Right now I've got a pretty cool as that is onLoad it will swing and gradually slows down until it is sitting still, but I'd like to have it have a little more elasticity added to it for them to be have some fun with the hanging light..
View 1 RepliesI'm seeing a problem whereby a video playing in the FLVPlayback component is "hanging" periodically, where the download stops for several seconds, ultimately causing FLVPlayback component to think it's at the end of the video and auto-rewinding. I've managed to reproduce this by killing my network connection when the video hasn't finished downloading, so when the playhead plays up to what's been downloaded, it then auto-rewinds and stops.
This problem is exacerbated when a different swf is being loaded in the background. what might cause a browser to "hang" when loading the other swf. For example, if the server on which that swf resides is backed up, will the HTTP GET block other files from loading? I'd always assumed that the actual socket implementation was multi-threaded and the loading of one file shouldn't ever cause another to hang. However, I'm not sure if the bowels of flash just leverage the browser's socket implementation, or whether it has its own.? I can't find any documentation on the flash socket design.
This has been seen in numerous browsers, so I'm suspicious it's a Flash issue. The loading is done using the MovieClipLoader class, AS2.
I've developed a flash-based site for a client who has an account with GoDaddy and have uploaded all files successfully to the hosting server. The site consists of an initial preloader named "preloader.swf", which loads an external SWF file named "main.swf" that contains different sections including an image-gallery section.However, I notice that at times (as not always this happens) the initial flash preloader for the main flash-based site loads faster than usual with "hiccups". This results in when having to view an image in the gallery section of the site (where each image is loaded externally from the server having a preloader of its own), the selected image loads in a jagged manner with "hiccups" (for instance from 22% it pauses then jumps immediately to 31%, then pauses again and jumps immediately to 47%, and so on).
Then, at a point in time, the preloader suddenly freezes/hangs the entire site, having no other choice but to refresh the site.Only then, once the preloader of the image has froze and the site is refreshed, or the cache is cleared, will the entire site work perfectly as supposed to - i.e. the initial preloader loads more slower and smoother, and the preloaders of when the images are loading are more smoother as well (no sudden jumps in the percentages as before; the preloader loads in normal increments).how I can make the site load smoothly always without having to encounter any hiccups, freezing and hanging, as I've been checking my code over and over again but I can't find anything wrong with it?I was doing some research and read that the cause might be because of the following line "ProgressEvent.PROGRESS" as it might not fire at times in IE or Firefox. Is that so? If so, what alternative must I take?[code]
I have recently been trying to recreate the effect of a weight (ball?) hanging from the mouse pointer, suspended by a thread, elastic or chain and exhibiting inertia, etc. I am a newbie, so the outlook seems rather grim. Is this at all possible?

View 1 RepliesLet me start by stating that I am a complete and total noob to web design, programming of any type, and flash animation. I've spent more hours watching videos on YouTube and reading web pages than I ever should have.I've created my first flash animation for my business website that consists of four pictures moving across the pageThe problem I'm having is that as the first two pictures reach the side of the page where they exit, they pause for a second or two. This happens even when the animation is fully loaded.
View 3 RepliesI have several flv files displaying just fine on my website. All I am am trying to do is replace an enormous .flv file with a smaller file of the same movie. The new smaller file is just 25 MB, compressed with a bitrate of 1000kbps. The test page that contains the smaller file previews just fine of course in Dreamweaver, but after uploading the clip, the html page, the .swf files (in the same directory) and the Scripts folder to my host's ftp server, the browser shows me that dreaded white box on my test page for a full seven minutes until the file loads up completely. Then it plays through beautifully with no buffering. On the other pages of my site, the videos all show up without such a wait, even the enormous 179 mb flv!

Sometimes (too often...) some webservices "hang". I can see the clock cursor in my app and the network monitor of FB2 shows the webservice as "pending". After waiting a long time, the status changes to "OK" and the clock cursor disappears. How can I find out why a webservice takes sometimes minutes while it usually takes not even a second?
My webservices run on my localhost during development using the Zend AMF Server.
I have an idea for something at work. I want to have stars hanging by strings from the top of my flash document. if the user mouses over these stars I want the star to lightly swing in the direction the mouse went over at. Almost as if you had a cardboard star hanging from the ceiling and you tapped it with your hand. I know this probably includes friction but my tests don't seem to work out the way I want. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
