are inline movieclips possible in textfields? i've done inline images, using the img tag with an html text field.
although i remember it wasn't very "inline" it was a huge pain to line it up properly in the text
any one have any experiene with this?
I have a movieclip on stage: I load inside it a form (via addChild). The form is made of textfields and movieclips and it is contained in a library object of MyForm class, extending MovieClip. So I have:
var myForm:MyForm = new MyForm();
myClip.addChild(myForm);
What happens: the MyForm class lets me interact with textfields (if I change a value of a textfield I can see it very clearly). But I can't manually reach the input textfields and the buttons (they don't respont to pressure, and I can't modify their content in the case of textfields). There seems to be something related to the fact that MyForm is contained inside myClip because if I load the form without the myClip container anything works again. I tried to use mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on myClip but it doesn't work.
I have created a content navigation system using xml. On the left there are a list of items and when you click on them their descriptions load on the right. I've gotten most everything working, however the list of items (which you click on) is messing up my formatting scheme creating a run-on page. Since the items are loaded using a for var i++ method, they each been created in separate textfields. I was thinking there must be a way to load them all into a movieclip and then create a scrollbar for the movieclip itself so that the user doesn't have to scroll the entire page to view the items.
View 1 RepliesI create various movieClips with TextFields in them using the following function.
function AddLabel(Label,L) // create a MovieClip with a Text Field.
{
obj = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc" + L,L);[code].....
Lets say that I use the above function with the following statement:
JimMC = AddLabel("JimVision",1);
Then I try to assign a string to the above movieClip with some embedded html like so:
JimMC.txt.htmlText = "This is my test < a href='http://bogus.com'>link</ a>.";
When I try to run the above the results come out blank. When I list my variables I do see that my TextField is being assign the text and html code. What I also notice is that the textWidth and textHeight value become zero.why my results are blank? Why do the textWidth and textHeight values become zero?

I have a bunch of movieclips which were created by "addChild" method. These movieclips are added to "gamecontainer". There was a dynamic textfield in each movieclip. Now the problem is how can I change the text in the dynamic textfield inside each movieclip outside this function.
Here is the code:
private function arrangeClips():void {
for (var i:uint=0; i<7; i++) {
var tile_mc:whiteTail=new whiteTail();
[Code].....
Looks like the garbage collector is not removing movieclips that have textfields set to TLF. I'm using Flash Builder's profile inspector and TLF brings in a bunch of objects and prevents the clip from being removed by the garbage collector (including all the objects that TLF put in memory). How could Adobe release CS5 with such a crappy implementation of text? If there is no solution I will have to avoid using TLF text for all my projects.
View 11 RepliesI have a movieclip in my library named mcLeaderboarditem. I've generated a class for it to manage the textfields.
The easiest way is to make a child of the class and manage the contents properties with the dot-syntax like this (documentclass):
var leaderItem:mcLeaderboardItem = new mcLeaderboardItem();
leaderItem.lblRank.text = "2nd";
addChild(leaderItem);

Probably it will be something stupid because of tiredness. Or is there an other way to do what i'm trying to do?
i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:

I opened up FB3 today, without making any changes, I press F11 and now I am getting this error that I never have gotten before: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable CaratPicker2_inlineComponent1 is not defined.
I find it strange I am getting this error everytime now, when I never got it before and I didn't make any changes before I started getting it. Anyways it is coming from line 78 which is <mx:Component> the start of an inline item renderer.
So any ideas how or why this error is being thrown? I have never seen an error like this before and the message isn't very clear to me as to what the issue is.

String.prototype.print=function(){trace(??????)}

Is there any way to create a textInput box for flex mobile with inline image without using textflow ?Basically i need a text input component , so that user can just use it as normal text input box but to it images can also be entered inline with text. To enter images user can select the image from list and that image will get inserted at the current cursor position.

I have a php/mysql backend which allows user to enter descriptions in a form. The editor is the Innova editor and automatically turns <strong> and <b> tags into <span style="font-weight: bold;">. When I retrieve the xml in flash cs3 and output it in a textfield the text paragraphs and all spacing is preserved however, bold and italics etc. don't render at all.
Is there any actionscript code or 3rd party libraries I can use with my fla to get this to render?
I just found out that it is executed like a normal variable at runtime. Typically constants are supposed to be 'inlined'........ so when you write this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
...you should get this in the SWF:
ActionScript Code:
o.x += 5;
...but when I decompile my SWF I get this:
ActionScript Code:
const SPEED:int = 5;
o.x += SPEED;
Is there a way to force the Flex compiler to inline constants in AS3?
Is there a way I can get an array value out of an inline function which in turn is in a function?

View 1 RepliesI want to load a MovieClip inside a TextField inline with the text.
The TextField documentation says "HTML text that you assign to a text field can contain embedded media (movie clips, SWF files, GIF files, PNG files, and JPEG files)."
How can this be done with MovieClips? There must be a listener we can override.

I have a datgrid with two inline item renderers. The dataprovider for my DG is a nested object (objects within objects within objects i.e 3-layered). Main Object - 1st Level
[Code].....
I use 2 item renderers (one for each datagrid column) which loops thro the 2nd level object1 and 2 respectively (the 2nd level object is a dynamic array of objects, in that the number of objects within keep changing). Within the item renderer I loop thro the 2nd level object using a foreach and then display the data. The data is a linkbutton, which when clicked , calls a remote object function to delete the data from the database
now on the result event of the remote object function call, i call the function to repopulate the DG, so that the updated data is displayed. When i click on the linkbutton in the first row, the backend works perfectly fine (the data gets deleted from the database and the refreshed data is sent back), but for some reason, the deleted data suddenly appears in the 2nd row. When i delete it from the second row, it appears on the 3rd row (nothing happens in the backend since the data is already deleted).. and so on, till it appears on the last row and then the DG looks exactly the way it shld have looked after the first delete.
This is just the beginning. The second item renderer also displays a linkbutton, which when clicked, displays that data in the previous column (the one where this data can be deleted). When i click on 1st row, the data gets added in the previous column of the second row. and so on.. Basically, my DG is acting really weird. I overrided the set data function in the item renderer to refrsh the data and called its invalidateDisplayList. I also call the Datagrid's invalidateDisplayList function after each refresh. The behavior remains the same.

View 2 RepliesI need an actionscript solution that will allow dynamic text to drop into a text box with pre-determined dimensions (x, y, width, height), and then will scale the text up or down so that it is as large as it can be within those dimensions without scrolling. Wordwrap would be automatic, and there would not be any paragraph breaks. I have a working model using Flash's Classic text, but I would like to be able to utilize the in-line styling that TLF provides. I just don't quite have my mind wrapped around all the TLF features yet.
