I have some dynamic text styled with a css stylesheet. I want to be able to control the amount of space between each paragraph. I would do this with a "padding-bottom" tag for a normal web page, but this does not seem to be supported within Flash text styling.
View 3 RepliesI have been reading Learning Actionscript 3.0 for about 1-2 months now on and off and i have stumbled across a paragraph that I don't quite understand concerning the position of a navigation bar buttons.
Code:
var btnNum:int = 5;
var spacing:Number = 10;
var navBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(navBar);
var btn:SimpleButton;
[Code] .....
The current button is positioned horizontally (line 10), offset by the spacing set in line 2, plus the width of the button and another spacing gap for each button in the loop. Therefore, the first button is positioned only 10 pixels to the right of the container's registration point (spacing, plus zero times the sum of the width of the button and spacing). The last button is positioned 10 pixels to the right of the container's registration point plus 4 times the width of the button and spacing. The vertical position is also set, moving the button down 5 pixels. From the above quote, I understand that the button the first button is placed horizontally, but i don't understand what is after it. What the paragraph means and how it does it's position.

I have a problem where I have a flash chat room and the first thing you do is log in with a name. This works. Next it goes to a loading screen that says thank you (name) and the proceeds to a title area where you choose to either chat, check for friends or change your name. Oh and of course exit. These are all working so far, but one prob. When you hit the send btn (button) it puts the text you typed in the text area with your name first. Example: (NAME): (TEXT) Problem is it needs a paragragh space first. And I dont know the script for that.
View 3 RepliesWhen I'm coding action script in the Actions window of Flash, in line breaks, the paragraph symbol is present, and there are dots in all the spaces, etc., etc.
I accidentally turned this on, and don't know how to turn it off.
It's like the paragraph symbol button in Microsoft Word.
How do I extract more than one email from a paragraph and output the result to a console?
var pattern:RegExp = (/^[-._0-9a-zA-Z]+@[-._0-9a-zA-Z]+[.]{1}[0-9a-zA-Z]+[.]?[0-9a-zA-Z]$/i);
var asd:String;
asd=tt.text;
trace(asd.match(pattern));
I know this might be a dumb question.. I somehow switched on paragraph signs () in the actions-window and they appear after every line break. I can't figure out how to make them disappear again.
View 1 RepliesI�m working on a LMS course, and since this material contain a lot of explanations and examples and etc, I�m using a lot of paragraph text with explanations.My intention is to inside those paragraph text, animate some word�s with setTimeout, so when the sound is narrating that word it zoom in the specific word. What I�m using latelly and is give�n a lot of work.Creating a function that apply the zoom function effect to the word that I have to break out of the paragraph text and converted to a movieclip, this is the simple function:
ActionScript Code:
function contabilidade_1()
{
zoomColor(topico_3.contabilidade_1);
}
And later create the setTimeout to show, in the specific time:
ActionScript Code:
var pausa_1:Number = setTimeout(contabilidade_1, 4000);
I hit some random key on my keyboard while writing AS3 and I activated Paragraph symbols (see attached image). How the heck I turn them off??
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to put a paragraph of text inside a circular (or half circle) shape using xml loaded text via Actionscript 3?
Ideas I have so far:
- format a textfield as center justified and put all the line breaks in manually. Prefer not to do this
- Use a linked textFlow object - not sure how to do this and concerned about the extra 100K added to my final swf
Perhaps there is a class that someone has written.

View 1 RepliesI have a list of 98 countries. I have a world map that I have animated by storing all the movieClip names in an array. Below the world map I have the country names listed out in a few text boxes. I know I can turn these names into movieClips and then change their color that way. But I was wondering if there was a way for ActionScript 3 to "read" my paragraph and find the text name then change its color?

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to break a movieclip into pixels and then move each pixel independently, but am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the code.
Right now I have a MC on the stage with an image in it. I'm able to go through each pixel, copy them one at a time then add a tween like this:
Code:
function copyPixels() {
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(300, 400, 1, 1);
var bytes:ByteArray = bmd1.getPixels(rect);
var bmd3:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1,1, true, 0xFF000000);

But that doesn't really give the effect I want. I want the whole image visible then have one pixel at a time fly off. How do I do this? Do I copy the entire image to a ByteArray then address each element in the array?
