ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Text Sliding Form Left To Right In A TextField, When Add Some New Chars
Nov 30, 2009
using a one line TextField with a fixed width that display text from the keyboard. I'd like that when the display text become greater, it aligns itself on the right, and let appear all the new characters, making the left ones disappearing. That is to say, it slides from right to left, letting always the right part of the text visible. I've tried using the "align" property of TextFormat set to "right", but it doesn't work (it just good to align a paragraph), and cut my text.
i'm having a bit of an issue with a multilanguage little flash chatprogram. It has a input textfield, the right fontdata and characters are embedded, but slovenian users can't input some chars Although it works when they copy/paste text into the inputfield, then the characters show and all seems well. But actually typing them seems to fail. So i know it's not the infamous wmode bug.
I'm using FLASH form embedded into html which use utf8 charset to send variables and image to php script which saves them mysql.
In flash I do use fileupload method,
var loc:*=new flash.net.URLRequest("http://url.com/code.php?s=1&name=" + vardas.text + "&email=" + email.text); fileHandler.upload(loc);
The problem is that when I open and fill up form in INTERNET EXPLORER, i receive not UTF-8 variables in php, but if I use CHROME or FIREFOX, i get them right.
Is there a difference how IE and other browsers send data? Or do I have to somehow encode variables in action script?
url in IE not supporting chars like č while CHROME AND FF DOES?
looking to create an image/mc slider that moves form right to left via user clicks of a left and right button.I would assume I would create an array to hold a series of mc's in (my images) and then tell the left and right buttons CLICK events to move linearly through the array (displaying next in line and previous etc.
OK. I have a textfield which I am assigning text to dynamically. I would like this text to move from left to right as it comes into the textfield, similar to a wall street ticker.
I have a textfield which I am assigning text to dynamically. I would like this text to move from left to right as it comes into the textfield, similar to a wall street ticker. It will be ones and zeros, so the order does not matter.
I have an input textfield, and when I click in it, all the text in the textfield moves to the left so you can't see it anymore. (Here is a screen shot of it with both textfields having "100" in them after clicking in the top one:'ve tried playing around with the different textfield properties (autoSize, condenseWhite..) and can't find one that fixes this.
I have a textfiled (input type) which works with English lang. If I change to different locale in the system tray I am not able to write any text into the textfiled.
How can I enable this capabilty to the TextField or this is connected with locale/Language support in the swf?
I am trying to figure out why some letters (like the norwegian Å (Å)) are cutted out in the middle of the top "o":
My code is this: var titleFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); titleFormat.size = textSize; // this is embedded font, and exported for action script, declared titleFormat.font = myFontBold.fontName; titleFormat.bold = true; [Code] .....
So, I have tried different things like setting height hardcoded and bigger than text, but top us cutted again, I have tried with css but no success. Why the letter is not showed fully and why if I zoom in the swf (2-3 zoom ins) it shows up normal (and what i try to achieve) like this: I think it has to do with the topMargin, but unfortunately I didn't find something like that in as3 documentation.
Has anyone else noticed a lot of things breaking since flash player 11 was released? I have input text fields that display html content in them. They also have an image embed in them as well. Before people could enter text in them with no problems and now suddenly all the text types from right to left and is completely backwards?
Just to be clear it's not aligning to the right, the actual letters are coming out backwards like it might do for another language that is from right to left. These text fields are not TLFTextFields just regular textfields.
I have other textfields just like this that, but they don't have images in them and they seem to be working fine. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it with flash player 11?
I've noticed that AS3 doesn't seem to contain a way of defining a minimum amount of characters required but does have a maximum. Any way to do this with a textfield?
We got some complaints from users not being able to type in certain chars like '@' and '.' in an input field (textfield). The Textfield is an input field type: Font embedding seems fine (all needed chars are selected + '@' and '.') Textfield restrict property is set: "a-zA-Z0-9@.\_\-"
Still some users complain not being able to type a '@' or '.' I've googled and searched the forum and the only thing I've found that could cause this was the wmode = 'opaque' property. We need to set this property to show up Facebook Connect windows. Otherwise these windows would get behind the Flash object in the HTML page. Another reason could be related to the regional settings of the keyboard, which might be faulty interpreted by Flash. Or could it simply be related to a faulty restrict (regex) property?
Stuck trying to get a pretty simple thumbnail gallery to work: Basically it's just a movieclip of horizontal thumbnails (50 in total, masked so only 10 are shown at a time) with a left and right arrow on the sides, which when clicked should make the thumbs smoothly shift left or right to display the next or previous 10 thumbs (fixed at 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50). They should smoothly ease into place, and the left and right buttons should disable when you reach the left or right limit Is there a simple way of doing this?
I want to create a simple effect, Basically I have an image in an MC. I want to create an MC above it that would contain vertical lines/boxes sliding from left to right and changing size and alpha.So basically random vertical boxes sliding over it.
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?
Im using this [URL] the thing is, that Im using it as an external swf. so the pics appear moved to the left... I think it must be somethiung realted to the root on the actionscript... some distance... I guess I have to take the root off in someplace.
how do you make a horizontal scrolling text like in music players where song name scrolls from right to left for example?and then repeats itself after some time...
I have to validate a textfield in AS3 if there are chars like # $ % @ ~ | {} [] / etc. i.e find unnecessary chars and remove them from the textfield. I use a search AS3 function which works with regular expressions, I would like a regular expression so that a search function searches the characters above and if it finds any of them then returns true.
my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
Where do I look that would effect the keyboards input like this? It worked fine before and I haven't been playing with the text at all. I recently added external interface then commented it out and still doesn't work. The font is _sans which usually displays every language fine.
I want to loop through a text field and find out the _x positions of each char/letter (ignoring the spaces and dashes "-")for exampletesttxt="R o-b o t" I`m trying to get an array with something like pos_array=[12,27,34,40,56]I need to have movie clips align under each char so i need to know where the little fellas are
I'm loading some product names into a textfield and I got few buttons with some of those product names on it.When a product button is clicked, how do I make the textfield scroll automatically and to display that particular item in a specified Y position?

I have this information that is pulled in from a PHP database and displayed in a textfield within flash which works fine BUT when I go to copy and paste that text into another textfield (a note facility) it then means I can't make a line break. I've tried all sorts with the text field and can't see any reason why it wouldn't allow it. Is there something about different text formats that mucks it up?
I'm attempting to make a Textfield that is a fixed size and that replaces the overflow text that an ellipse (...). Has anyone found any clever ways to do this?
I have created a dynamic text area that populates via an xml feed.it works really well. I found the solution from someone here.the only thing is I have the languages change from english-russian-arabic.this works well but arabic needs to be align from the right.
Code: MovieClip.prototype.resize = function() { var speed = 2;
