ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Text In Textfield To The Top
Feb 14, 2010
I load texts from xml files into one textfield. I use myTxt.text = ""; before loading each text to see it at the top of the textfield. I works fine in Opera an FF. In IE (all versions) the position of the previously loaded text is "remembered" and next text is displayed at previous text position.
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?
Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. If you have any clues... The AS I'm using:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null. at flash.text::TextField/set htmlText()at classi::HTMLText() at intro_sito_fla::MainTimeline/frame117()0
1) How can i set this parameter?
2) How can i get request.data value? It's not a string, so...?
When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting. Is there a trick to this.
how to tell the cursor(vertical text flasher) to jump to the end of the text in a input textfield - so that you can continue typing from the end of existing text?
I have a text field where user can type and few controls to customize the text properties like: font, size, color etc.If a user has typed say "Hello World", the caretindex is next to d of World. I want that if now the user makes some changes to the cusomization properties like: changes font size, then the text appearing next is of the font size set and not that of d. How can I do that?
I have a dynamic textfield that loads text from a txt file. The content of the txt file will be modified daily by the client.What i need is that if there is too much text in the txt file, the dynamic textfield resizes (and not only with autosize because the text can be really long).[code]it doesnt look very good but it works. The only problem is that if I have a really long text the maxsizeY doesnt work fine.
I have an application that combines words introduced by the user to create new words. I would like to be able to save the resulting combinations into an external txt file.
The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?
I'm trying to build an RSS feed reader to display inside a swf on a webpage. I need to figure out how to create the RSS feed reader as it's the last bit I need to create for this website.
Here's the code I'm using:
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://teachercenter.scps.k12.fl.us/education/rss.php?sectiondetailid=69411"); rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded); rssLoader.load(rssURL);
[code]....
I keep getting an error message that reads:
1061: call to a possibly undefined method addItem through a reference with a static text type flash.text.Textfield.
found that code to display html format text to dynamic textfield in as3:
var url:String = "http://edeejay.dyndns.org:8000/currentsong?sid=1"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
Actionscript Code: function createNames(){var counter:Number = 1; for each(var ca:Categorie in arrCategories) if(ca.Name == currentMonster.name) for each(var ch:Channel in ca.Children)
I'm trying to set an onstage TextField instance's "text" property, while maintaining embedded fonts and its onstage appearance.Problem Encountered: Text doesn't show up when setting text via ActionScript on an on-stage TextField w/ embedded text.Workaround: Create and assign a TextFormat object:defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat('Arial', 100, 0x000000, true, true);Annoyance: This defeats the purpose of styling text with the IDE.

I have a textfield in which I have to write data on load.I am passing value from embed tag which is working fine , but it does not change the value of text in textfield
I have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text. For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular line of text get cut off. I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the _height Property but it doesn't make a difference. I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font looks a little different as well.
I made a simpel textFiled with some text and a border. Does anyone knows how to get rid of the extra space betweenthe text and the border of the textField? I'm goning crazy withthis.I made the width of the textFiled the width of the text andthe height of the textField the height of the text. But because ofthe extra space the text will not show as I wanted to be.
I am trying to create buttons that will replace the text in a text field.The text field is "Staff_Copy".The buttons are "Staff_Saam_btn", "Staff_Nicolas_btn", "Staff_David_btn", and "Staff_Anthony_btn".
//Code in frame 1 of timeline var Staff_Copy_Value:Number = 0;[code]................
This doesn't work.Whatever the initial value of the variable "Staff_Copy_Value" is will determine the text in the field.So if I use the value 0 as in the above, whatever is in the textfield on the stage shows.If I use 1,2,3, or 4 then the text strings in the defined variables shows up.What am I missing.I am assuming it is has to do with the onEnterFrame command.How do I make the movie keep checking the value of "Staff_Copy_Value"?
I have a dynamically created textField full of text, placed in a sprite that resizes (actually it's part of a nested set of sprites that resize when the browser window is resized). As I'm resizing the window, I notice that the text does not resize smoothly, but kind of steps or jumps (just a tiny bit) between sizes - as if Flash(player) is trying to lock to pixels - perhaps to improve readability.
Sometimes it ends up that the end characters in lines actually fall outside the text box, and so get cut off.This also happens sometimes if the user's screen size just happens to be the right size to start with (the site is full screen).Relevant parameters may include:
Can't think of any reason you'd _want_ this to happen. The resizing to pixels makes sense, if that's what's happening, but FP should do it so the text stays within the bounds of the text box.
I created a textfield but it refuses to update its text. When I trace the new desired text that is successfully displayed in the debugger but not on stage! This is my original [code]...
What I'm trying to do is pretty simple, I'm just getting lost in the syntax of it..I have a piece of code that loads a textfield to the stage and sets it to "Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically"on the stage I have a text input box named t1input And a button next_btn
What I am wanting to happen is to have the text automatically load into the text field that is set in the code ("Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically") And then have it where the user can type into the text box, press the "next" button and then the text in the text field is changed to be whatever the user has typed in the text box.[code]...
I created dynamic Textfield using flash interface and named it "score". Now im trying to change its text in actionscript during runtime, but some strange things happen... Anyway the text is not changing. Other properties are OK , but i cant change the text.
I want to change the text in textfield1 with the inputted text in textfield2..for example, the text in textfield1 is "HELLO" i want to make it "HI" by inputing "HI" in textfield2 after clicking the change button the "HELLO" text will replace by "HI"
