I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.
I have a test field that I've created dynamically. If I add text to it by writing: myField.text = "some text" the text appears, but if I add text using a variable I don't see anything. If I trace the text field's text trace("text = " myField.text) I get the right value.
how do I go about printing entire, scrollable text area in flash movie, I know how to print entire page but when text file is scrollable it doesn't print whole text.
I upgraded from an old version to CS5.5 and AS 3.0 and none of my AS works. I can't even do something simple, like display text in a dynamic box. What I'm trying to do:[code]This displays NOTHING. A trace shows the current frame, but I can't get it to display in the box.I also notice that the trace never shows frame 1. I have gotoAndPlay(1); on my last frame.
on my website I have a contact form where you should be able to type into an input text box. For some reason, my website won't allow me to click and edit the input text box. Could the problem be that it is within a movieclip?
I have a flash website at [URL] which, for some reason, has problems showing all of the text when viewed under Windows 7 (any browser). Under the experience tab, the text below should appear at the very bottom. It does not.

Ok so when I test the file in Flash it appears totally fine and works...as an swf on it's own, it also works just fine. (I have a text box, mask, scrollbar etc etc). Text is loaded externally and seems to be happy and error free...
When I test the swf on a html web page, i can see the scrollbar and arrows etc, but none of my text appears. I've tried embedding the font characters but that doesn't help either.
I'm trying to make text disappear and appear letter by letter, so i'm using dynamic text. I've made this code which should do this, the only problem is that the text won't show up. I used trace to check what does the dynamic text box contains after the code has done it's job and it contains what it should. So I don't really understand where the problem is. I've embeded all the lowercase letters since I'm only using those... I don't know what else to add here... except the code offcourse:
Code: if (_root.butonselectat<>"") { stop();
[Code]....
Ignore all the "ifs" they just make the code do it's job when it should. And it seems that they work correctly. The first "for" cycle removes the text letter by letter and it only works if there is some text in the dynamic textbox while the second "for" adds the text letter by letter. I have the same code on two keyframes in the first layer and the the dynamic textbox on the second layer with only one keyframe.
I'm relatively new to Flash, and I�m in the process of creating a flash intro to my website. The problem is, whenever I preview one of my Mask layers by pressing Ctrl+Enter, the mask effect doesn�t work � it merely shows the masking object. The puzzling thing for me, which leads me to suggest that the mask should work is that in the normal timeline view, when I lock both the mask and masked layers and press Enter or slide through the frames � the effect works perfectly. On Ctrl+Enter all of my other Masks work fine as well - the one in question has text as the mask content.
It only stops working when I view it as an .swf file or play the movie with Ctrl+Enter. Does anyone know why this is happening, how I can get around it, or whether it will be a problem when published?
I have a complex workflow movie that is almost entirely loaded with dynamic text populated by XML files. The problem is that when I view the movie the dynamic text doesn't always appear on some frames. If I click back out of the frame and then click back into it the dynamic text appears.
To simply what I am talking about:Frame 1 has a button on it that opens frame 2.The button on frame 1 is clicked and frame 2 opens however no text is displayed.The 'back' button on frame 2 is clicked returning the movie to frame 1The button on frame 1 is clicked and frame 2 opens again, but this time all the text displays as it should.The coder bangs his head on the table and exclaims 'WTF?'

I just want to know why a dynamic text doesn't show in the swf movie.Let me explain a little more: I have a mc within a main time line in wich is another mc,this mc have photos and a dynamic text who must be scrolled to view all of it,but the text doesn't appears! Below you will see a snapshot of the mc where you can see the level of it also.I've checked the actions script but there's no problem with it. here is the AS:
I have a small-ish text field with a decent amount oftext in it which must be scrolled through to view it all. I'veadded a UIScrollBar component (using AS3), and it shows up fine andscrolls the text fine, but it doesn't scroll all the way down tothe bottom of the text, just a little ways into it. If I use mymouse wheel and scroll the text that way, then scroll bar positionindicator suddenly shrinks and then I can use the scroll bar clearto the end of the text. But if I don't use the mouse wheel to dothis, I can't use the scroll bar to get to the end of the text.I've tried using the update() method of the scroll bar afterfilling the text field with it's content and attaching theUIScrollBar component to it. What am I missing here so that I canuse the scroll bar to scroll all the way down through the textinstead of just a little ways?
I made text box, typed some text, converted it to a movie clip, named etc. Used a purchased and proven scroller component ... followed directions to the letter, including referencing/linking the files. However, when I tried to test the scroll bar .... the scroll bar appears, scrolls and works perfectly except the text does not appear. I have tried making a scroll bar with the UIscrollbar same thing happens. I made an other attempt and put pics along with the text in the movie clip ... this time the pics appeared and scrolled, but the text still would not appear.
I have a textfield in a MovieClip that I'm trying to change out from an external class. It appears to return back as empty on the stage, but if I trace what's inside there it gives me the correct value, it just doesn't show up.
My code is this:
((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text = 'test';
So if I trace "((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text" it returns "test" but it doesn't display on the stage, it's just blank.
My text animation works perfectly, but doesn't repeat. How do I get this to repeat? I don't know Flash that well, but I just want this to play over and over.
I made a new symbol. The symbol name is button. And it's text is "Start Generator" - So this code:[code]Doesn't seem to change the text of the button to "You clicked it"
I am having this weird problem when I load an XML document.The last part of the text doesn't 'wrap', if that is the proper english expression; the lines don't go to the next line they just get lost. You can see what I mean in this link, by clicking on the Kaiser Chiefs item/photo/text, and then scroll down in the article. However, when you go back to home and do it again, the text looks allright! But that is too late of course.
I'm trying to load a external .swf into an MC container but the external .swf has dynamic text that loads from an xml, when I view it through the other .swf which contains the container the text doesn't show up.
I made a contact form in my flash website, but for some reason, you can't type in the input text boxes I made. I already have embedded the text, so that isn't the problem. I think maybe it's related to the code I have, or maybe I need a code to target the text box. One more key detail: The text box is within a movieclip. If I don't put it in the movieclip, it works fine, but I need it inside of the movieclip.
I'm using AS3 on timeline. There are four input text boxes (input_txt, input_txt1..) and one dynamic text (mess_txt). When user types answers on input text boxes, dynamic text should change to either correct or incorrect.
Dynamic text only changes when the last input text box changes text. why don't the others change as well? I have tried putting the else conditional in different places without success.
I set up the point scorer like I have in other games and it doesn't move for some reason. I trace the score and it is perfect so it's my code trying to get the this.score.score_txt.text = String(this.pointsI); to record that fails
I have the following code layout in mxml. The button will be positioned correctly in the middle, but the text remains anchored to the top. This is not the behavior of the spark component label, but I need multiple style runs in the text and have found the mxText component to be the best solution...
