Flash :: Actionscript TextFormat Resets When Changing TextField.text
Jan 19, 2010I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)

Remove Last Character From Textfield Without Destroying Textformat
Jan 3, 2011I have a problem where i want to remove the last character from a textfield (including linebreaks) that has multiple textformats without removing the formats.[code]...
i guess this doesn't remove linebreaks, and is very slow, seems to destroy my textformats.
or:
textfield.text = textfield.text.slice(0,-1);
this is faster but removes all textformats as well.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Redefining A Function On The Fly?
Apr 18, 2009I have a method/function inside my class called "doSomething()". This function gets called once a frame.
I am trying to figure out if it's possible to redefine that function on the fly with code.
For example, For the first 100 frames of my move I want "doSomething()" to look something like this :
Code:
public function doSelected():void {
trace("hello");
}
and then after 100 frames has passed I'd like "doSomething()" to be redefine to look like this :
Code:
public function doSelected():void {
trace("bye");
}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Disappears When Changing TextFormat Or Text?
Apr 24, 2009I have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.
the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:
Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"
then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.
I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Set Up/ Dynamic Text/ Lost ?
Sep 23, 2003I want to create a draft program for fantasy league football that will be viewed on an external monitor by all of the participants.The program will have all of the "draftable" players.I want to be able to click on the player (or drag) and have that player show up in the participants picked box while deleting (or changing the properties) of the player.
Questions: 1. Should I use variables and arrays for all of the draftable players to accomplish this or would it be easier to just use combo boxes? Mind you that there are about 250 draftable players.
2.Should I have a seperate mc for all of the draftable positions and all of the participants.
3.
Code:
quarterbacks = newArray
line[0] = "1. Donovan Mcnabb";
line[1] = "2. Rich Gannon";
How do I get a hard return in the above sample?
4.How do I dynamically put the picks in the participants draft box?

ActionScript 2.0 :: TextFormat And Input Text Fields?
Nov 24, 2004I am trying to create a TextField, set its type property to "input," set its format via the TextFormat object, and allow the user to add a label to a movieclip.
Assume you have a button named b_add, and you assign it this code on the main timeline:
Code:
_root.b_add.onRelease = function () {_root.createTextField("myLabel", 10, -38, -15, 76, 29.7);
_root.myLabel.type = "input";
_root.myLabel.text = "insert label";
_root.myLabel.wordWrap = true;
[Code]...
The TextField that gets created loses all of its formatting once the user starts typing. It reverts to Time New Roman and doesn't wrap. Do I have something out of order? Should I approach the problem with another solution?

Regex :: Using Regular Expression And TextFormat To Style Text Between HTML Tags?
Mar 1, 2012I've been struggling with this problem for a while:I have a string containing HTML and I'm using a regular expression to get the characters between the tags. I'm then attempting to apply a TextFormat to those characters.The problem is that I'm using the TextField's "htmlText" property instead of it's "text" property (because I don't want the HTML tags to be visible). So, the character index that's returned from the regular expression is incorrect, when I apply the TextFormat.Here is some sample code which illustrates the problem:
var txt:String = "<b>Sample</b> string with bold text";
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tf);
