ActionScript 3.0 :: Splitting String/textfield Into Movieclips?

Jan 26, 2010

I want to split a string into its individual characters and then put them in movieclips so that they can be individually tweened.

i was thinking i could split() the string into an array and then create an array of movieclips, each movieclip containing the corresponding letter in the split() array. would this be a good way to resemble a textfield? im looking to do something like the effect here: [URL] i just don't feel like spending $99 to get the package.

Regex :: AS3 - Getting X And Y Value Of Matched String In TextField

Jul 13, 2011

I have a text field within Flash that contains a block of (obviously) text. What I want to do is perform a search on the content of the text field that returns the x & y coordinate and the width & height of the found text. The result will be used to place a visual element over that portion of the text box.

For example:
var pattern:RegExp = /d+/g;
var found:Array = box.text.match(pattern);
var i:String;
for each(i in found) {
/**
* Find the x, y, width, height of the matched text in the text field
* Use result to place transparent yellow box around text
*/
}
Which visually should result in something like:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Input TextField Inside MovieClips - Cannot Type Anything

Jul 26, 2010

I have a basic input textfield that's inside a couple of movieclips. I have it set to input, and the cursor obediently appears when it's focused. However, any typing on the keyboard yields absolutely nothing. I'm curious as to what needs to happen to an input textfield to actually allow it to grow to become the input textfield it was meant to be. Now, the whole deal runs just fine when tested from the Flash IDE, but once it is published and embedded online it's hopelessly useless. I have two fields, the first being for an email and the second for a password. I've tried just about every combination of setting I could find, but here is the latest:

PHP Code:
emailField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
emailField.defaultTextFormat = formatField;
emailField.textColor = fieldColor;emailField.text = "";
emailField.background = true;
emailField.border = true;

I'm aware that how something is embedded somehow effects how it works (though I'm fairly certain the display engine is made by the same people? ), so here is the embed [Code] ..... Everything else works just fine though... how the buttons interact, ExternalInterface, etc.. How what should be the simplest task fails to function just amazes me though. Do I have to literally make listeners to process all of the keyboard input? That would suck... but why would it work fine when I do "Test Project" and not when it's published and embedded?

IDE :: Making A Global String Variable Visible To MovieClips?

Jun 4, 2009

I mostly use flash for the animation, so my action script tends to be mostly functional.

I am now however having an issue, i am using a variable called language which I am setting in frame one as "dutch", "english" , "german" etc... Im then using this to set dynamic text as appropriate in each frame as necessary.(and yes i may switch this to case statements )

if (language == "dutch")
{ tcMC.peasantBubble1.peasantSpeech.text= "Bescherm je een schat?"};

My problem is however that one Movieclip does not see the language variable.

Is there anway in CS4 i can direct it to where it is, or define the varibale instead to be global (perhaps id have to change it from a string though)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Movieclips To Characters In A String/array?

Dec 22, 2010

I'm trying to make a Welcome ("User") animation for an eLearning template, and was asked to do it in AS3, which my team and I don't really have experience with (most of us stick w/ AS2 cos we're timeline oriented people), but the manager figured the best way would be to dive right in.The goal is to have handrawn letters w/ vignettes behind (like medieval books have) display a user's username (8-10 characters), which will be stored in one of two javascript variables, depending on which LMS the course is loaded into (one SCORM 2004, and one AICC).

I am able to get a loop to trace one letter at a time, which is a good start, I think, but getting the drawn object to go into an MC based on the characters is beyond me. I am also having trouble finding out how to check for the existence the vars on the HTML page.I have 10 empty MCs on the stage, with instance names of b0-b9, and the MCs with the images in them (yeah, they could just be graphic objects, but whatever) are titled iA-iZ and i0-i9.All I have thus far is

Code:
stop();
import flash.events.*

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Wordgame Drag / Drop Movieclips Textfield Bug

May 16, 2010

I'm making a drag and drop wordgame, and I've encountered a rather irritating problem. Based on the words contained in an array, I create different movieclips with drag and drop functionality, so that they can be dragged on top of the corresponding correct translation of the word. Problem is that when I add a textfield to my buttons (using addchild), dragging and dropping becomes rather buggy, and dropping doesn't work properly, quite often. "Bug-free" version, no text on the MCs: [URL] This was done based on a tutorial that used pre-made movieclips containing shapes, maybe it was at kirupa, I don't remember where I read it I'm afraid. There are many tutorials out there on this subject, but I haven't found any that show you how to dynamically create movieclips which contain text and drag/drop functions. Here's the code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Splitting A Var By Length?

Sep 15, 2004

i have a var lets say 'x' x="i like cheese and want to eat it everyday" i want to split the var x by every 10'th character, assuming the 10 chracter is not in the middle of a word , then i want it to split it before that so that no words are not cut out...

ex:
x="i like cheese and want to eat it everyday"
arr[1]="i like " 7chars causs 10th char was inside 'cheese' and spliting of words is not allowed
arr[2]="cheese and " 10 chars exactly , splits at space
arr[3]="want to " 8 chars 10th char inside eat .. u get the idea by now i hope
arr[4]="eat it "
arr[5]="everyday"

so its splitting the variable every 10th character.. if the 10th chracter is a space, if it is not it backs up to the previous space and for the next array slot starts from there

Flex :: GWT Style Code Splitting?

Dec 22, 2009

I do a lot of work with GWT but don't have experience of Flex. I was talking to a guy today who was looking at moving some large Flex based applications to GWT due to the Flex application getting too big and using too much memory in the browser. This is a problem I have had before with GWT - browser apps using lots of memory as all the code gets loaded when it starts.

However, in GWT 2.0 there is now a code splitting feature to overcome the problem of the client code getting too big. This allows all the code (javascript) not to be loaded as one big file on start up but instead code split into different files that can be loaded when required.

I was thinking as to if there is anything similar in Flex. I assume the Flex application code all lives in one single SWF file which loads at start-up so this approach is not possible but thought there might be other solutions.

Javascript :: Splitting A File Before Upload?

Nov 4, 2010

On a webpage, is it possible to split large files into chunks before the file is uploaded to the server? For example, split a 10MB file into 1MB chunks, and upload one chunk at a time while showing a progress bar?

It sounds like JavaScript doesn't have any file manipulation abilities, but what about Flash and Java applets?

This would need to work in IE6+, Firefox and Chrome. Update: forgot to mention that (a) we are using Grails and (b) this needs to run over https.
