ActionScript 2.0 :: Input Textfield Limit Lines
Dec 14, 2004I'm trying to limit the number of lines people can enter in an input textfield. I tried stuff with maxScroll, but that doesn't check if people press enter, so i end up with too many lines of text. I then looked at maxChars, but it's no use either, because users can still enter as many lines as they want.Is there no way you can combine maxChars and maxScroll? there also is "textfield.onScroller" which checks if the textfield is being scrolled. Can't i use an eventhandler based on onScroller? Like:[code]this results in people not being able to edit messages anymore after they reach the end of the textfield.I have no idea how to limit the number of lines in an input textfield. Anyone?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Number Of Lines For A Textfield?
Nov 20, 2009The stage width is 300px. I have the TextField for Question, wrapped set to true, so that if the Question is long it will continue to second line.Now the problem is i need to show options as radio buttons, say 10px below, where the question ends. But since i don't know the question consisted of two lines or one line, it becomes difficult for me to place the radio buttons programatically.How do i get the number of lines for a text field?

View 0 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Text Input After Max Lines Reached?
Mar 16, 2009im trying to make a simple text input field, where a user can input a fixed number of chars (this bit isnt the problem). And can only make a certain amount of new lines. This bit is the problem. Currently a user can keep pressing return and make the text field as large as they wish, and i need to basically stop any input say it reaches 8 lines.
Ive looked at numLines which states is readOnly but does something odd if u set it to a number. What its doing is not allowing my text field to change size at all. I have some code that repositons my text field and a clip underneath as it grows. Defining numLines stops this working which confuses me further:)
Im know i can check against numLines so when its goign to go greater then to stop inout. But im not sure on how to actually stop the input if that makes sense.
ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField Attribute For Height Of All Lines
Dec 15, 2009I have an automatically generated TextField, that is fixed in its width. To show it in its full heights and not to have the scrollmode active I want to read out an attribute that contains the value of the summed up height of the single lines. Then I want to set the TextField.height to this value, to see the full text at once. Does such an attribute exist in the TextField-Class or do I habe to sum up the height of the single lines by multiplying TextField.numLines * TextField.getLineMetrics().height?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting Number Of Lines Of Text In Log Style Textfield?
Mar 28, 2009I have a textfield that acts as a log in that it routinely gets messages added to it. I want to limit the number of lines the textfield can display - that is, if the textfield exceeds a certain amount of lines, the oldest lines that were added are removed and the rest of the lines of text are shifted up. Basically I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this, as my technique seems inefficient:
Code:
const MAX_LOG_LINES:int = 50;
// assuming parameter message is a string that ends in to add a line break.
function addText(message:String):void

View 4 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Anchor Tags In Htmltext Property Of TextField Causes New Lines In Text?
Jun 24, 2009I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Change Text Styles Of Single Words Or Lines Within A Textfield?
Jan 9, 2011it is possible to change text styles of single words or lines within a textfield with actionscript. I use an empty textfield and add my text to that field in actionscript with the following code:
myTfield.text = "insert text here"
the text contains multiple lines and I want some of them to be bold, italic or a bigger font size. The reason why I am adding my text to my textfield this way is because I need the text in the textfield to change when some buttons are pressed. Text will be added or removed from the textfield if buttons are pressed by the user and the current way I'm changing the text is by simply re-using the code above with new text in it. (it makes the code quite long though, but I guess I'll have to deal with that)But because I'm adding text this way I am not sure how to change the style of different parts of the text.
On a related note, with CS5 there are now a number of options for textfields. There is TLF text and classic text. I've searched around for the differences but I don't find the awnsers very clear. What option should I use for my textfield if I want it to look sharp like the text I'm typing here (its just regular text, no headers or anything). Some options just give blurry text because of the anti-alias and some settings don't seem to change a thing. And at times embedding fonts looks nice but sometimes it makes it worse. There are so many options to choose from, but it is unclear what would work best for regular text. (my text won't animate, it does move with a scrollbar, but I only care about how it looks when the scrollbar is still)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Textfield Won't Accept Certain Input
Jun 21, 2010I'm having a weird problem with AS3/CS5: I have a textfield, and I'm playing around with focusing on it at various points. At one point,I set focus to the textfield (which only accepts 1 character), then add an Event.CHANGE listener to it. This works fine, except when I type the letter 'a' (or 'A'). Nothing happens until I click on the text field and type 'a.' I don't have to do the second click with any other character, and before I do the second click, the cursor is blinking in the box. Not sure what to do...
