That doesn't work. But i when i change Number(input.text); to Number(6); for an example it works. But i want an number by input
I've got some HTML text in my XML which i load in flash. But when i try to use an image as a link using <a href="http://site.com"><img src="img.jpg"></a> nothing happens when i click the image. Links work fine unless the image is wrapped in the "a href"-tag. Anyone know how to solve this?
View 6 RepliesI have a problem with animation of TextField. I prepared an animation of MovieClip (containing TextField), that in 0.5sec gets 50% alpha. Then I used "Copy movement as ActionScript 3.0..." option.When I copied it into a class and wanted to animate TextField, nothing matters, excepting weird TF movement.Here my button class code - class works alone:
package UI {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]...........
i have a text field that I create in flash, when rotate it on the y axis with actionscript, I encounter problems, the text gets bigger and doesn't fit inside the text field, when i don't embed the fonts or use device fonts, it works fine, but I need the text to be consistent across all user computers, any ideas, i'm using cs4 and as3
View 1 RepliesI decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I have a form made up of textfields nested within Movie Clips and when I hit tab, it doesn't go to the next textfield, but instead hops all around the interface. Is there any way to control this? I've tried using the accessibility panel and setting the Tab Index but that had no effect (I'm guessing because the textfields are nested in mc's).
View 1 RepliesThe password_txt textField doesn't become visible with the function but trace works.

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.
I have a TLFTextfield, which I've applied a TextFormat to, using a start and end index so it only applies to a range of text.Something similar to this:
var textfield:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
textfield.text = "Some Text";
textfield.textColor = 0x0000FF;

i have this problem with my text field. i have this dynamic text field, and i want to load external text files and show them there. this all works fine and dandy but when i try to make a scrollbar along with it, it gives the height of the text field as the original one from the flash file, not the new text.
View 8 RepliesI have one textfield which is presented like _root.screen1.screen2.textfield1
screen2 is the movieclip within screen1. They are movieclips and textfield1 is the textfield
I tested like
_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text="Hi, can u see me?";
trace(_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text);
Then I can see the result of trace which have the text I wrote, but I cannot see anything on the screen.
why it is like this and how to modify then ?
I have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.
stage.focus = txt; // txt is a text input field
It successfully gives the TextField "txt" focus because when I type, the characters appear in the input textfield, however the familiar blinking text cursor/beam does not appear in the textfield. This makes you think it does not have focus, so you click the textfield to give it focus -- completely defeating the purpose.
I'm trying to update some TextField's style, eg. color, fontSize, fontFamily. I'm creating field by:
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.parseCSS("p{color: #000000; fontFamily: System; fontSize: 20px;}");
textField.styleSheet = style;

My dynamic textfield doesen't show special characters (%&+...). I have emped the font(uppercase, lowercase, numerals, PUNCTUATION and basic latin) and I've also tried to render it as html.for example:flash.addVariable("newtext"," Word & word2");AC2myTextfield.text = _root.newtext;then it prints just "word", because flash doesen't understand character & as a text format;locally it worked finemyTextfield.text = "Word & word2;";
View 4 RepliesI am trying to more between frames using the data returned from a node n_EventID in an xml, when the node returns "1408" I want to move to frame 1 but if it returns anything else I want to move to frame 2. The part where the code moves to frame 2 seems to work perfectly but I can't seem to move to frame 1 when "1408" is returned.

I'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.

But my proublem is that I have a flash presentation.The defalt for moving the slide screens back and forth are left and right arrows.It works fine when tested or even the .swf fileBut then the left and right buttons don't respond when I go to fullscreen.
View 5 RepliesIs it common for AS3 apps to not work in IE? Is there a way to make them work? I have a movie clip in my library linked to a custom class Main and I have nothing on stage. Just one frame. Everything is built inside that movie clip. I add that movie clip to stage through a document class and everything works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome but when I open it in IE, it's just a blank page.

I have some issue with the [embed] tag. Even if I set the embedFonts property of the textfield to true the text doesn't show up.The thing is that it worked previously and after some changes (not related to fonts) it doesn't. I'd like to understand how the embed process for font works to find the error in my code.
I declare :
[Embed(source = 'asset/font.ttf', fontName="font", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")] private static var font:String;
to assign the font to the program.Then i call "font" when declaring my textFormat. Is the "fontName" property the link with the textformat ?I work with flashdevelop and the flex_sdk_4.0.0.14159 (the big adobe one, with air (~140mo))

I have a swf with a movieClip with a button in it with the following code:

Now the shoppingchart.swf has a movieClip with the instancename "shopLine_mc" in this movieClip there is a dynamic textfield with the var called product. Now I'd say that if I press the button the shoppingchart.swf should load on level2 and show the text "single toothpick" in the textfield right? It doesnt... it does load the shoppingchart.swf but the dynamic textfield doesnt change.
this is what i have on the maintimeline:[code]I have 4 moveiclips called: redhex, bluehex, greenhex, and yellowhex.what the above code should do is make a 15x15 grid of hexes (yes i wanted all 4 hex mc's overlapping each other at each space on the grid.).Before i added the lines to dupllicate the blue, green, and yellow hexes also... the redhex movieclip duplicated exactly as it should.But after adding the lines to duplicate the blue, green, and yellow hexes also, in the same locations... Nothing at all showed up when i tested the movie (not even the redhex's)
View 4 RepliesIn the actions of a movie clip,I want to use something like:

But,it does not take anything else than LEFT,RIGHT and some others.I even tried ASCII:
PHP Code:
if(Key.isDown(100))

It doesn't work.Then how do we use keys like W,A,S,D?
I've made a rounded rectangle with a gradient fill and another rounded rectangle over it with a transparency to create kind of a glossy effect. Both objects are part of a symbol in the library of the FLA file. Then, I activated the checkbox to create a scale-9 grid, and the Export for Actionscript checkbox in order to add this symbol from AS3. Next I made sure that every rounded corner was completely included in the slices on the edges of the grid. Well, no matter what, the object is scaled as a normal graph: the rounded corners appear bigger and deformed.
