ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Y Coordinate Of Text Baseline Position?
Mar 21, 2011
I'm trying to measure the y position of a single line text field, specifically at the baseline position, i.e where the bottom of the letters without tails like 'y' has sit. I guess I either need to know the y position at baseline or the height of the font not including the stuff under the baseline.
The reason I'm needing to do this is that I'm using alive pdf and i'm trying to add text in the same relative position on the pdf as the window that the user designs something, and alive pdf's addText function sets y a the baseline position it seems.

Here is a very difficult math problem I was unable to solve, its an excellent opportunity for someone like newblack or lordofduct or some local genius to demonstrate their superior math skills to the community: I want to change a base Number over many updates/iterations, by a random % of this Number in a random direction within a pre-defined threshold WHILE, keeping the averages across the iterations the same as the original base Number. here is it in pseudo-code:
[CODE]....
Some restrictions: Ideally this would be a pure 100% straight math solution without any kind of Weighting, tricks or additional variables. (IE a weighting would be if the number deviated from an additional baseline or hit some kind of limit, then we started artificially increasing it back to that baseline. )

I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.

I have the following code:
Code:
this.createTextField ("imageText",2,95,0,390,96);
imageText.multiline = true;
imageText.wordWrap = true;[code].....
The problem:If I uncomment either of the imageText.embedFonts lines, my text will disappear... but the trace(imageText.text); will still return the correct contents. It's as though embedFonts causes the textField to disappear.Possibly related, (but maybe not), is the fact that the vertical positioning of the font is off. Even though I create the textField at Y = 0, the text writes somewhere around Y = 10. I suspect this is something else, but I thought I'd add it just in case.

i have a dynamic text field that loads a variable into it (just a simple text file). this text file will be updated on occasion. i also have a movie clip to be positioned below the text field, however i want the movie clip to change position depending on how much text is in the text field so there isnt a large gap and so they dont overlap. is this possible? i tried the following actionscript to adjust the size of the text field depending on the amount of text. textField2.autosize = "center"; however i have no idea how to get the y position of the movie clip to adjust accordingly.

Im supposed to make a marquee that has curved dynamic text scrolling through it. I used the displacement map filter for this and it almost works. the only problem is that when the dynamic text field gets to a certain x position, the filter stalls, but the text continues to scroll. Im really at a loss. heres what I got so far: [URL]

I'd like my text to be positioned on a 45 degree angle. Is there an easy way to do that? (In the worst case, I could always make a png out of the text). But, I hope that there's away to do it in Flex. I don't need an animated effect.
var angleText:Text= new Text;
angleText:Text.text = "My text is angled!"
angleText:Text.x= 200;
angleText:Text.y= 300;

I've discovered a bug that is extremely confusing to me. Basically I have some text fields that are dynamically created, but once users start typing in them, the caret cursor slowly either falls behind the text your typing or sometimes get's way ahead of where your typing. The result is frustrating when you are trying to delete something because you aren't really sure where the caret actually is. I've attached some code that you can paste into an fla to reproduce the issue.

I am trying to get the position of the last character in the text field. The below script works fine till I change the width of the text from 110 to 109 or add some extra characters in the text field. For some reason the value of frame variable returns null if I change the width from 110 to 109 or add some extra characters in the field.
ActionScript Code:
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
var spotlight:Shape = new Shape();
myTextField.width=110;

I have a problem with truetype font "DaxComp-Medi" and with some timeline and actionscript positioning. I have a mc in which I have another mc in which I have a circle in which I need to put the text in the center but that is not that easy.
Structure:
ActionScript Code:
mc1.mc.mc.txt
mc1.mc.mc.circle
[Code].....
So is there some way in as3 to get those numbers in the center of the (white) circles?
Do I need to convert the TextFields in to the BitmapData (how?), find positions of pixel that has some black color (How?), draw rectangle with that information, copy x and y point of the rectangle, center the rectangle in the circle, calculate offset x and y from the rectangles new position and add them the textfield x and y?

I am trying to create a movieclip, load a jpg into it, and if successfull, create another movieclip (or even better: create that movieclip right away too), with a textfield in it, and place it under the loaded jpg, depending on the postion and height of the jpg. I tried something like this, but the jpg and text don't show.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("nieuwsfotoMC", 2);
nieuwsfotoMC._x = 15;
nieuwsfotoMC._y = 194;
var loadFoto:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

I know this is a dumb question, but it would've taken me forever to search through all the rest of the posts regarding Scrolling Text boxes. So I have text scrolling in a dynamic text box. Buttons control it's movement, up and down with (scroll --) and (scroll ++). Let's say I read to the bottom of this text, and then load a new file into this same box. When I do this, the new text is scrolled to the bottom. My Question: How do I reset the scrolled position back to the top for each new file that I load??

What I'm trying to do is to position the text in the top part of a combo box vertically. I need to make the height of the textfield section a minimum amount because of touchscreen considerations. It's taller than appropriate for the font size I've chosen.
I know how to reference the textField element of the combo box, so my actual question is can I position the text so that it is centered vertically in a textField? I've seen several of the formatting options, but just haven't stumbled across a setting that allows me to change the default "top justification" that textFields get for their text.

I am working with a block of dynamic text that is being loaded from an external text file. Imagine it looks like this:
Image 1:
Some text here.
Image 2:
Some text here.
Image 3:
Some text here.
You get the idea. This text is in a scrolling text box. What I'd like to happen is when the function gotoImage2() is executed, the text scrolls the down to Image 2 so that it is at the top of the text box. Make sense? Seems like a variable needs to be embedded in the text file, but I have no idea how to do the rest. I also can't get any of my custom scollers to work. They all embed the text in a masked mc. Is this the only way to scroll dynamic text? Any good pointers to smooth text scroller tutorials I'm using Studio 8.

I'm adding captioning/subtitles to my video (FLVPlaybackCaptioning) using dfxp.xml files. Everything works great when the video plays at it's initial resolution (640 x 360). The positioning of the captions is perfect. But I've included a Full Screen button and when the video goes full screen, the captions appear but their position is off. They are higher on the screen and they actually move upward 1 or 2 lines after they initially appear. I cannot seem to control this and am not sure why it only happens in full screen mode. In the component inspector I have set autoLayout to true and to false and it does not effect the captions one way or another. I cannot seem to find any support for this.

I have a text document which is several pages long and will use scrolling capabilities. This text document will be contained in an external swf. There will be 6 buttons on the main timeline which will all load the external swf with the text document but I would like the text to autoscroll to a specific postion/part of document that relates to that topic/button. Also, i would like the scrollbar to move in relation to position/part of document in case the user stays in the external swf and reads and scrolls through the document. Is this possible? I have searched for a tutorial on this but have found nothing. I have tried different things but nothing has worked.
