ActionScript 3.0 :: GetCharBoundaries Method Of A TextField Doesn't Return The Correct Rectangle
Dec 30, 2009
I have a problem with the getCharBoundaries method of a textField, it doesn't return the correct rectangle for me. To show the problem I put a long text in a textfield and highlighted the rectangle returned by getCharBoundaries for every second character. Here is my code:

I've got a Gridcolumn in a Datagrid (Spark). The Column's dataprovider is a Number value that gets updated via Binding.Now, without an item renderer the cell displays the correct values.If I set an item renderer, I can't access the values in this renderer.My renderer looks like this, so nothing really do here (for now) but to trace the value, but the value is always NaN.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:GridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%" >[code].......
without the renderer, the column displays the correct values, so apparently the DefaultGridItemRenderer works fine.As requested, here is my Datagrid;
<s:DataGrid id="dataGrid" dataProvider="{_listItems}">
<s:columns>
<s:ArrayList>[code]..........
_listItems is an ArrayList with instances of a model class, which has (amongst others) a property called change of type Number.

I'm just trying to make a sprite follow the last letter of a TextField with the getCharBoundaries() function. It works fine when the DisplayObject that contains the TextField has no 3d transformations on it. But when I rotate it in 3D, returned values are wrong and it doesn't work anymore.I don't know anything about the matrix objects and all those transformation functions but I guess there is a way to get the correct value by using one of those matrices.I tried to use some matrices and played with some of their values but didn't get any luck.

I want to drag one movie clip within specific region. For that I have created one rectangle with following
var rectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(52.75, 5, 100.25, 0);
Though I have given x position 52.75 ; i can drag movieclip to x position - 52.

I found out how to make for example a rectangle via the LineTo method. But how can I change the size of this rectangle and SEE it changing (ie a tween), not jumping from one format to the other? I guess it has to do with using "elapsing time" in the actionscript? I find it hard to get info on this subject. Though it seems important because otherwise it is impossible to create animations.

My idea was to create a method for drawing rectangle with rounded corners, but while being able to specify which of the four corners (any, all, none,etc.) you wanted to round. The method below does the trick, but for some reason my corners don't match the same curves that I get using the same radius with drawRoundRect(). In other words, if I call my method (and set all four corners to be rounded) and compare that with the same call to drawRoundRect() the actual curves of the corners are slightly different.
HTML Code:
public function drawComplexRoundedRect(startX:int,startY:int,rectWidth:int,rectHeight:int,radius:int,canvas:Sprite,roundTopLeft:Boolean=false,roundTopRight:Boolean=false,roundBottomLeft:Boolean=false,roundBottomRight:Boolean=false):void{
if(roundTopLeft){
canvas.graphics.moveTo(startX,(startY+radius));
[Code] .....
Then compare
HTML Code:
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite;
drawComplexRoundedRect(0,0,200,200,25,canvas,true,true,true,true);
with
HTML Code:
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite;
canvas.drawRoundRect(0,0,200,200,25);
and you will see the two rectangles are not identical.

I want to make a box just like the one on *this* picture. That's a screen shot from an app made with Flex, which proves it's possible to do. I've been drawing boxes using the sizes I get from calling functions like getLineMetrics and textHeight, but the box is always to big (vertically).

I created a website and exported the project into an swf file. Unfortunately some of the pages exported are correct and others show something else but not the stuff I created in CS4. Actually it is only text so nothing difficult. The result I get is something I had before, only bolt text parts or only the grey letters and not the colered letters...Iam using version 10.

I can't seem to get hitTest work on a textField, is that correct? Does this only work on movieclips?

I have two dynamic textfield and they are both within two movieclips because I have action to rotate , enlarge and move the related movieclip so that the text changed accordingly.
But there is problem like after I record the position after modification to database and retrieve them back to the flashpage. The position of the movieclips are changed or maybe it is the textfield's position within the movieclips are changed which I have no exact idea what happened.
So could any one who can give some suggesion how should I arrange the textfield within the movieclip and how to keep track of the right position after enlargement or rotations,etc then?
Isn't it I have to consider the relative position of the textfield to the movieclip at the beginning.

I have an Array which holds phrases. Now I want to be able to set the var: on my dynamic textfield to the correct phrase in the array. It works when I use tmp_txt.text = phrases['yes'].sText, but I want to set it directly on the textfield. Is this possible?// explanation:// phrases['yes'].sText returns JA which is swedish for YES

I'm extending the AS3 class Rectangle with a class called Bin. I want to override the Rectangle clone() method with a method that returns a Bin object, not a Rectangle object. If I try to override the clone method but specify Bin as the return type, I get a #1023: Incompatible override error. Here's my Bin class:
package {
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
public class Bin extends Rectangle {
[Code].....
This class works, but when I use the clone() method to create a new Bin instance, I get type errors when I try to use the Bin methods on the new instance.
How do I override clone() and send an actual Bin instance?

I'm getting into actionscript3 and was wondering if there was a way to make an 'onclick' type function that returns an id or an instance name. For example in jQuery you can do the following, which is great for then passing the id into an array or whatever you choose.
$('.menuButton').click(function(){
var collectedID = $(this).attr('id');
Is there an equivalent to this in AS3? I'm assuming grabbing the instance name would be the goal? I haven't run across ids in Flash yet.
