im using this code from the docs
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.text.TextField;[code].......
the problem is when i make the string longer - there are characters missing in the Bitmap - ive used the TestFormat to no avail
I need a Card flip animation.I have a vector "Spade A" in a moviclip named mc.For the flip animation i want to apply "rotationY". When i apply mc.rotationY=45, It automatically converth the vector into Bitmap.i tryed mc.cacheAsBitmap=false;But still it converted to Bitmap.I need the rotationY as well as the card remain Vector.
View 5 RepliesI have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)
View 3 RepliesI am using TextField.length to determine if a TextField is empty or not but it is never returning zero - it is always length = 1 when empty.
Although my code is based on this and seems to work. if (mcApp.txtDisplay.length == 1) {
I can't understand why and am wondering if this may break one day if it is a bug and gets fixed. Or am I doing somethign wrong?
Got a problem with dynamic textfield length. I have a flash movie which is loading text from an external text file. I have drag the dynamic text field and make its width equal to the movie length (say:550pxl) so that it covers the entire stage. I have given motion tween to this dynamic single line text field. So, that whatever the content is there in the external textfile will scroll from left to right. Now for a single line it is ok, but if there are lot of content which would exceed one line length then what to do? So, I need a script so that, the length of the singleline-textfield would be dynamically changed with the textlength, the content of which is being updated from an external file using the LoadVariable syntax. I am using Flash5.

View 1 RepliesOn my project, I have a dynamic textfield inside a movieclip. The textfield loads XML text. How can I set the dynamic textfield length(width) based on how much text is typed on the xml file?
View 3 RepliesI am loading some XML into a dynamic text field
Actionscript Code:
texts_mc.desc_txt.text = xmlList[0].desc;
I need to limit its length to 75 characters which is about half the length of the last line of text. Is there a way to do that? I have been looking in the docs and tried stuff with String.substr but I could not get it to work at all.
I have a dynamic textfield which receive the text the user input. And I want to make it like no matter how many words the user type, it always have the same area of the box, say if the user type hello, the texfield box is

this large and if the user type hello, the world, the textfield change to

the font seems smaller than the former one, but the total area remains the same. How should I make the coding so that it can have this kind of effect.

View 5 RepliesI have a need to draw a TextField into a Bitmap. And I can do it with one minor problem. When the TextField is added to the display list it has no background. When I draw it to the bitmapData object it always has an opaque white background. Is there any way to get the TextField to draw to the bitmapData with a transparent background? Here is the code I currently have that does draw the TextField in the bitmapData, but with an opaque background.
[Code]...
I'm starting with a textField containing some bold white text.
If I add it to the stage directly it looks like it should look.
If I convert it to a bitmap, like this:
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(textfield.width, textfield.height);
bmd.draw(textfield);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd);
addChild(bm);
Then I just get a white rectangle the same dimensions of the type.
how to set my dnamic text to "bitmap text" [no anti alias]
use device fonts
bitmap text [no anti-alias] <<<<
anti alias for animation
anti alias for readability
I created the textfield through actionscript instead of placing a textfield on stage.
Code:
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.text = "Hello World"
addChild(myTextField);
I'm drawing a textfield onto a bitmap which I use as texture for a 3D object. I'm listening for Event.change, and so whenever the user adds a character I redraw the texture. But to really give the 3D object a 'interactive textfield feeling', I want to draw text selections and draw the caret (the blinking text cursor), but by default these a not drawn when using bitmapData.draw(textField), nor can I find a Event to listen for 'textSelected'.
//is there any event that catches text selection / blinking of text-cursor?
textField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, redrawTexture);
//...
//is there any way to draw text selection / text-cursor in the bitmap?
bmpData.draw(textField);
What I have so far is a carouselmenu. I got a actionscript page (page1.as) where I load another one (page2.as) into. page2.as is a Sprite (or MC whatever). I can load and display the sprite in page1 successfully (several instances). I also have an eventhandler when i click on an instance of page2. The problem now is that I have defined a textField inside page2 that is also being displayed. What's not working here is that when I mouse over the text, I cannot click on it (the cursor turns into the cursor that appears when I mouse over a text as in MS Word or similar for being able to mark the text). So I thought of making a bitmap out of the text field. how to transform a text(field or string) into a bitmap?
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.

I am trying to use the class Sound of actionscript.My code is really basic :
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest("mysound.mp3"));

snd.play();
The audio is playing very well but in my trace, I get 0 instead of the length in milliseconds of the Sound.

If I just have occasional (very small) projects, what's the best way to get them done really fast by somebody who knows both 2.0 and 3.0?

I am trying to build a menu. I have created few texts and converted into buttons, which goto some url on click. Now, I have to add "fire burning" animation to these texts on mouseover. I have a movie clip of burning fire. I want to reuse the same movie clip. Also, when the animation plays, I want text to be visible on top of flames.
Can I reuse one mc or should I create multiple clips (or instances)? How to bring the text to foreground? Guidelines and if possible,
We are using Mike Davidson's SIFR implementation and so far so great, however we have noticed that it converts any white space into %20's, unfortunately that breaks any % signs we have in our product descriptions.
View 1 RepliesThere's a ActionScript class which dynamically creates basic UI element.So I create RadioButton as
var rBtn:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
and then put it in a Panel Container.The problem is that it appears to be a Button. However it behaves like RadioButton.I have found this problem with one more guy who has posted it here.CheckBoxes and RadioButton looks like Push Buttons.
I have the problem that a video I imported in Flash is visible on my pc but not on any other. I converted the video into the flv format and dragged it onto the scene. So far so good. I created a folder which includes the main swf as well as the video in the flv format. Since this is a University project, I sent this folder to a professor and he could not see the video. I've tried it on any other pc - wouldn't work either.
View 3 RepliesHi everyone, this is my first posting and I need some help on the getURL command. I typed in some text and converted into a button and on the action script I used "on (release) { getURL("http://www.site", "_blank"); }. When I publish it, no errors were stated. Everything work fine but when I clicked on the button to go to the website, it just pop out the browser and the last page that I was looking at. Another word when I clicked the button with the getURL AS, it just open up the browser and didn't go to the link specified in AS.
View 1 RepliesIt's extremely problematic when you're trying to design something. It plays fine when tested, but you cant see anything that's converted to a graphic, button, or movie clip. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting, etc.
Also, I got an error message about the classic view not loading correctly, and everything's been goofy since. I still can't edit anything in classic view.
