Anybody know the proper syntaxt for setting the textField's Auto Size property from a String?
var myTextField:TextField;
myTextField = new TextField();
myTextField.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; //Default way Works fine[code]......
I have a class that will not run in Flash CS4
myLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER
I have tried everything to get it to work, here is the code, I am running it from flash with a class called main, if i comment the culprit line it the rest of it works.
Error : 1120: Access of undefined property TextFieldAutoSize.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldType;
import flash.text.StyleSheet;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
[Code] ......
I'm looking for an explanation on why when I use TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;
x != 0
Here my code
Code:
package {
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;[code].....
I'm trying to draw a background to a text field in AS3.I have a TextField with an embedded font and using autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT. I assign the text to the TextField then call try to draw a roundedRect using the textWidth of the TextField. The text field width is always smaller than the actual text width.Is there another way to get the actual textwidth? I did a few quick google searched but I haven't found anything.
Code:
var tfProgramName:TextField = TextUtil.createTextField(true,"Arial",20,true);
tfProgramName.width = 100;

I have a set of textfields that as I add text to them I want the right side of the text field to stay stationary and the left side of the textfield to automatically grow.now matter how I set it tho (.LEFT, .CENTER, .RIGHT) the left side is always stationary and the right side always grows??)
View 5 RepliesI have two text fields TextField1 and TextField2. I basically copy the text from TextField1 to TextField2 with actionscript on textChange. I notice that with TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT on, the TextField2 automatically puts in line-break after some characters. how is this default width changed for a TextField, so that the line break comes after specified characters only ?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.My problem arrives when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails. Here is the code.[code].......
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip, with a dynamic text inside.This movieclip is already on stage.I have found several solutions to this TextFieldAutoResize, however, most of them requires to create a new text before implementing TextFieldAutoResize.LEFT or right or center or .... etcIs there any method to apply auto resize on dynamic text which are already placed on stage?

I'm trying to create some custom properties, but for some reason I can't make them Strings. If I give them a string value: "Something" it is returned as NaN by the MC.
But if I give it true; as a value, it is returned as 1.
this is in the class

I'm getting this error but not sure how to change it from a string. I can 'trace("myfilling: " + myfilling);' and this outputs the instance I want to change the X and Y position of fine but when I try to do myfilling.x = leftBaseX, it throws up the error:

I create a new object. My new object will always have a labelField because it has to be added to a dataProvider in a ComboBox. The problem is my next property. Each object in the dataProvider has a dataField property that has a string value [eg: 'code' or 'isoCode'].[code]
View 1 RepliesHere is my code:
<mx:ComboBox prompt="" editable="true" dataProvider="{tableSelector.list}"/>
When this code executes, flex just sets the selectedIndex to 0 and displays the first item in the dataProvider instead of leaving the text and prompt as the empty string "". How do I get around this? I need the text property to be "" unless the user selects another item in the combobox.
I am looking at "length" property in the Adobe AS3.0 language ref as I do not understand it. It says: An integer specifying the number of characters in the specified String object. (I understand this). Because all string indexes are zero-based, the index of the last character for any string x is x. length - 1. (I do not understand the "- 1". I understand that all string indexes are zero-based but I cant put this together with the last character for any string being -1 or whatever it is saying.
