Actionscript 2.0 :: Set Dynamic Text By Finding A MC's X-pos

Mar 13, 2009

I have a movie with two objects; one movieClip with the instance name 'ballInstance' one dynamic text field with the instance name 'textInstance'

The MC is draggable. I'd like my SWF to repeatedly check the MC's x position in relation to the stage's width so that if the ball is on one side of the SWF, the text bos says "left" and if it's on the other side, the text box says "right".

I got the ball to be draggable/releasable. If the ball starts on one side, the text box says left, if it starts on the other side, the text box says right.

BUT for some reason it doesn't update the text when you move the ball. (the MC is a ball.)

How can I tell the SWF to actively re-determine the ball's x-position, and then change the text, if needed?

**full code below, .FLA attached.**

Code: Select allvar stageWidth:Number = Stage.width / 2; /*stageWidth = the width of the stage.*/
var ballX:Number = ballInstance._x; /*ballX = the x position of the ball.*/
/* this will let the user drag around the ball.*/

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Finding Height Of Dynamic Text Box After Auto Size?

Jun 17, 2010

I'm working on an A.S 2 document that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size.At the minute I'm trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one.

Africadetails.autoSize = true;
Africaname.autoSize = true;
Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);
AfricaURL._y = (Africadetails._y) + (Africadetails._height) + (10);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding And Replacing New Line Characters

May 10, 2010

I am making some string variables to use in an animation. Another person in the office has has written all of the text using Word. Some of these strings have up to 50 lines and each new line has some sort of special character in there which creates an arror in AS. I can manually go through and place the cursor at the end of the line at that point, hit delete and then type in " ". This eliminates the error but I have a lot of these strings, days of work. I have not been able do a simple find and replace. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to use notepad++?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Box / Xml Content - Text Is Too Close To Border Of Text Box?

Nov 28, 2006

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:

with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Pass Text From Form Text Field To A Flash Dynamic Text Field?

Feb 3, 2007

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:

Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}

Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 : Finding The Size Of A Text Box?

Aug 17, 2009

So, I have a dynamic text box, which, naturally, being dynamic, changes. What I would like to figure out is how to tell when the changing text is larger than the textbox holding it. Of course, just because it is a certain number of characters long doesn't mean it will be larger than the textbox holding it. Twenty of the letter "w" is larger than twenty of the letter "i" So, is there a way to tell if the textbox isn't large enough to hold its text?
