ActionScript 3.0 :: Isn't Long Enough To Fill The Text Box Then The Scrollbar Still Shows Up
Feb 20, 2009
I'm building a small scroll component for a text box, which loads text dynamically from an xml file. I've got it working fine, apart from the fact that if the text isn't long enough to fill the text box, then the scrollbar still shows up - I don't want it too! Is there any tips / hints or even a snippet of code that someone can offer? Basically I need the scroller to only show if the text is bigger / longer than the height of the text box.
I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I have a scrollbar in which a very long list which I can't make any shorter / smaller.roblem is, the script for the scroller demands that I place the text at 0,0 on the Flash axis, and the lenght of the text makes it run way down to the lower edge of the Flash workingfield.Somehow this makes the text run 'beyond reach' of the scrollbar; the scroller only shows about 2/3 of the list, and does not show the text beyond that point.How can I extent the reach of the scrollbar??? Can I shift the 0,0 point of the Flash axis (maybe place it higher, so the text falls into the more 'reasonable' regions of the workingfield of Flash?)
I'am making a advanced mp3 player arund this tutorial: [URL] and i want the users of the player to see how long they have listen or how long time back of the song. i have the AS i what to use but i cant connect them. becuase the tutorial i used does not make a sound objekt (MUSIC)
I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
In Flex Mobile Project, Text Input shows blocks instead of showing arabic text. Labels are working fine with Arabic.
Is there any way to show Arabic text inside text input?
My code sample is
<fx:Script> <![CDATA[ /* Import all the easing classes so its
[Code]....
Since, it is for flex mobile project, when I input any text in arabic, it shows separate characters. Arabic is a language that doesn't have separate characters. It should combine letters to form specific word.
- I have a dynamic text field inside a movieclip called 'newsbar' - I have a mask called 'masker' - I masked the movieclip newsbar as followed: newsbar.setMask (masker);
BUT now the text inside the dynamic text field only shows up half!To fill the dynamic text field I used this code: inhoud.text = "this is a text message";inhoud.autoSize = "right";
Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.
I need to put a long static text inside a scrollPane? I've got a custom font embed. When I enable "Anti-alias for readability" the text looks wired (overlaps) in the scrollPane. But when I change it to "Use device fonts" the static text shows fine. How can I overcome this? Basically I need to have a long paragraph inside a scrollPane with a custom font.
I have a text box that loads content from an .xml file. I need it to scroll the contents horizontally if the text is too long to fit in the box. Similar to a marquee...
ok, heres my prob... I got a textbox with a external file with html... this is working fine ! the problem is, that the textbox (with a scroller) shows only the 1/2 of the whole text.. is there a max of characters to put in my .txt file ? is there something to put it longer...
I downloaded a XML based website flash template and made some modifications to it. With this template there was few fonts included in separate folder (I had to install them to view swf and edit fla correctly) after all my mods done I published it to swf file and opened local file with browser, everything was working perfectly at this moment. Then I asked my friend if it could upload it on his server to check if this website looks the same on the web. I noticed that text (which is written with custom font that was included) is either missing or misplaced.
I tried to emblem font, by putting it into my fla lib, but it get me nowhere. Maybe I didn't do that correctly.
PS. I was working with this tut: [URL] I got myself up to the step "Creating a new Font symbol instance using ActionScript". Text in my template is imported from XML file, I don't know where to apply any AS code to make text load with embedded font. However I find this tut for AS3 while my template is AS2 one .
I have an empty textbox with the basic scroll bar component. Nothing is in the text box so the arrows are greyed out on the scrollbar. I have a button that loads text into the textbox, but the component does not update itself to accomodate text that is larger than the text box.
how can I make it so that the scrollbar changes when text is added.....also If I put text in the text box in flash, when I publish it gets the scrollbar fine, but it will not adjust itself when I click on the button that loads different text into the text box. what happens is the scroll bar stays the same regardless on the size of the loaded text.
I have a problem with a clear interval command that only half works,when i select the the high button the interval clears but when i reset the high button the interval starts again,also the interval does not stop when the low button text shows low.I get the trace action but no clear interval.
Ok, so i have this problem with text dissapearing if i use one font, it shows in one textbox, but the other ones are odd, they either show 0 or 1, or the first letter only, or nothing at all. What's the problem?In the beggining i tried to ignore the problem by changing the font or the font style, but now, it's becoming to ugly if i use too many different fonts.
I have a dynamic text box on the _root level of my movie that loads an external text file. When I test it in Flash (MX2004) locally the text shows up just fine. But when I upload it to the site it doesn't show at all. I'm exporting as Flash 6. I just want to display as html text and not embed font (if possible). Also, there are no masks on the _root level.
Here is the code to load the text:
loadText = new LoadVars(); loadText.load("/text/about.txt"); loadText.onLoad = function() {
I have a dynamic text box with instance name and Var set to page_text. Then I have this code:
[Code]....
Before I get current_page and total_pages. If there are more pages, everything works fine and it shows like "page 1/5", but if I have only one page, it shows "_level0.page_text" instead of "page 1/1". current_page and total_pages trace correctly.
I'm building a site and I would like to add a scrollbar to a text area that swaps out xml text files. Currently, I have up and down arrows to scroll the text, but I would like to have an actual scrollbar instead since there is a lot of text in some of the sections. Here is a link to the current version of the site with the up and down arrows: [URL]
I can make the scrollbar work just fine if I put the text in the first frame, but whenever I set it up to call on text files, then the scroll bar won't work. Obviously, I'm pretty new at Flash. I've attached an FLA with the text box.
I'm looking for an AS3 version that dynamically populates this shape and allows for difference in font size to give it some more variety and flavour. I've got some examples of tag clouds but they don't accept a shape as its outer bounds and I've found some that allow for a shape but don't account for dynamic resizing of the text. Even a nudge in the right direction would be all I need and I can go from there.
I am dynamically loading text into a text area. I want the text area to have set dimensions, but the text itself to resize in order to fill up the whole text area container.For example a short line of text would be made a bigger size than a large line of text but each would perfectly (or near perfectly ) fill up the same X by Y sized text area.I have seen a lot of posts about resizing the text area to comply with text, but I want to do the opposite - resize text to comply with text area.
I have a MC, MC1, with 3 dynamic fields: D1, D2 and D3; And I have 3 variables: V1, V2 and V3. I need to fill D1, D2 and D3 with V1, V2 and V3 values. But when a Vn value is empty I need to hide Dn. When I mean hide I really mean to not have nothing there and not just an empty space.
I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file.When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.
I am brand new to flash and AS3, and everything else code related. I've built a simple file with text and audio. The audio is an external file, and it plays with a mouse click. Everything tests fine in flash. I also placed the file in Dreamweaver and previewed in a browser - that's working. But... I've now uploaded the file to a live site. The text shows up but it doesn't play.
I've got this following scripts to create button through action script. However during onrollover/onrelease, the text (button name) is dissapear.Here's the code:
These shapes are pretty complex (i.e. they're not square, see image below).
So far, I place textfields manually on the stage and populate them one by one with strings (names) stored in an array. (The textfields are also in an array).
The example below is very simple and I will probably have to setup a good few hundred textfields in the final project.
Would anyone know of a way of populating these textfields dynamically according to an underlying shape?
Or maybe a different approach altogether?
I was thinking collision detection might be an idea but not sure where to start.
PS: I cannot simply use a mask over the chunk of text as each character shall be visible within the shape.
