If number of characters in dynamic textfield exceeds 92, find the last word before that limit and put three dots(...) at the end
so, lets say this is the text, and there are 96 characters (I havent been counting but lets imagine it)
[Code]......
Just wondering if anyone knew a simple way of first counting the amount of characters in a single line dynamic textbox with AS?

View 1 RepliesI know that you can embed characters into a dynamic textfield for languages in Flash. But is there a way to do that dynamically?
View 5 RepliesIs there any way? I thought "maxChars" was promising until I learned it was only for inputting text to a textfield.The XML is coming into a dynamic text box. I need to cut it off at say 500 characters and add an ellipsis.
View 2 RepliesMy Flash AS3 application includes input TextFields. The user can choose from an array of fonts to use. These fonts are loaded at runtime from external SWFs. In order to support as many languages as possible, and to avoid having to load many MBs of foreign-language glyphs, I've included the "_sans" and "_serif" fonts. So, the idea is that a Russian user can type Cyrillic characters, or an Israeli can type Hebrew, when they select one of these two fonts.
Here's my problem: A Hebrew user has reported that they cannot type Hebrew characters into the TextField (only squares appear). BUT, when they copy-and-paste Hebrew text into the TextField, it DOES appear. This seems to prove that the Flash Player is able to find the appropriate glyphs on the user's system. But the user can't type them directly. If you've encountered this, have you tried a successful work-around, such as providing some kind of virtual keyboard interface?
i'm having a problem with my function in assigning characters to a set of textfields..i made a set of textfields for my crossword puzzle with an instance name of c111 for the 1st textfield c112 for 2nd, c113 3rd etc.[code]this actually work on first set of dynamic textfield...but when i used it on my 2nd set...with instance names of c121, c122, c123, c124 etc..it also changes my first set of textfields...and it only assign to instance names with even num (c122, c124)[code]i tried to rename this one kLO2, but same outcome.
View 2 RepliesI have a setup a PageHolder class (based on MovieCLip) that displays a doted area with a (page) number in the middle.
Now attempting to populate my LayoutPane, I create new instances of of PageHolder whose constructor is tasked to set the text value of its only Texfield to the value specified in the new PageHolder parameter.
The problem here is that only the character present in the Library Object will display at run time.
For example, I have setup my PageHolder object with a text field containing the number "0". Now at run time, every instance of PageHolder is blank except fro the one that I passed a "0" as part of the init parameter (10,20,30,...) and on those pages, only the "0" is showing. If I change the original object to display a "1" instead, then every "1" of the page number that contains a "1" show ups.
Can somebody shed some light on this?

import flash.display.MovieClip;

Whenever I have my Textfield focused and enter a character, the input field enters an additional duplicate character, meaning I have to backspace one character for every character I enter.If it was a Keydown problem the same should happen when i backspace a character as well.
View 2 RepliesI have an input textfield nested inside a movieclip, i embedded a set of characters but when i run the movie i can still input characters that were not part of the embedding list. The input text field has both an instance name and variable name. If i copy that text field into an empty fla file, it works correctly by not allowing character inputs that were not embedded.
View 1 RepliesThere is an attribute .restrict but as the defined it only prevents other characters from entering the textfield, restricting the textfield to the given characters. I want to prevent characters 1-10 from entering the textfield. The code below does not work the right way.

Have an Input textfield and write e.g. 123 in it (This is on frame 1).Then later in frame 3 I want that number to be shown in a Dynamic textfield.How do I do that?
View 0 Repliesi'm loading a dynamic text, but some spanish characters like " and " (i hope you see the characters in "") do not appear. Por example, the word "drsticas" which has the special character over the "a" appears "dricas", that is, it skips the letter with the special character and the 2 following letters.Anyway, i've tried using the embed option for dynamic texts, but may be i'm using it wrong.

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

SWF file does not display special characters in dynamic text let alone cyrillic font. I do have all kind of fonts in Flash and they work fine in static text.
I can write the text I want to display in xml file however upon saving it I etheir loose the special characters or they still dont display correctly in SWF. Enconding is UTF-8. Tried changing it but to no effect.
So I have this font that has 2 different styling for numbers. So for examle, the unicode for the number 1 is "U+0031", however the font contains another number 1 whose unicode is "U+0031 case sensative forms (case)". Is there a way I can display the second version of that character?

I know that I can send this html to a dynamic text box and it works correctly:
< a href="http://www.djlex.com" target="_blank">Click< /a>
But, why does it not work to replace the quotation marks with & quot; ? < a href=& quot;http://www.djlex.com& quot; target=& quot;_blank& quot;>Click< /a>
(BTW, the extra spaces are intentional so the html does not render as html in this post)
