View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Trace The Width (or TextWidth) Of Dynamic Text Box?
Sep 8, 2010I have a dynamic text box on my stage that is 400px wide. The text box is being populated with flashvars data from an HTML file and auto-sizes (myTextBox.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT) so it will display all content by expanding when the text spans over 400px. But when I trace 'myTextBox.width', it always returns '400'and when I trace 'myTextBox.textWidth' it always returns '0'no matter how much text I push into it through the flashvars.
This is because the trace is only tracing the previewed swf in Flash which has no ties whatsoever to the HTML file and flashvars.Therefore, when previwing the swf, my text box is always empty.The only way to see the content populating the text box is when actually launching the browser with the swf embedded in it.Because of this I cannot seem to be get flash to 'do things' based on the new width/textWidth values of my text box after it has been populated with the flashvars data from the HTML file.How can I get flash to detect the new width/textWidth of my text box after it has been populated by the flashvars data from the HTML file?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Trace The Width Of The Actual Text Of A Dynamic Textfield?
Mar 10, 2009I'm trying to trace the width of the actual text of a dynamic textfield (called 'label'). i know this should be

however, all I get is an 'undefined' message in the output box. Whereas, if I trace(label.length) instead, then it counts the number of digits in the text field. I thought label.textWidth would work? I want to find the length of the text in pixels basically...

Flex :: Get The Real Objects Width?
May 3, 2010when I check the width of my objects I always get 0. Here is an example:
newTag = new LinkButton();
newTag.label = dataManager.tagViewTimelineModel.tags.getItemAt(i).name;
newTag.setStyle("color","#FFA500");[code]....
I guess because width is a property I can set, but it is not automatically computed by Flex. How can I know how big are my objects (as conseguence of the included text ?)
ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Objects Width While Rotating?
Mar 24, 2010I'm working on putting together a game at the moment which is similar in many ways to mini golf (or crazy golf, depending on where you come from). It is shown from a side-on view and to play the user must select the ball by holding the mouse down over it, then drag the mouse to indicate the direction they wish to fire the ball in. The distance they drag the mouse (this is capped obviously) determines the power of their shot.
I am currently using a triangular object with the tip placed at the centre of the ball to show to the user the direction they have chosen. This triangle rotates to face the position of the mouse, and I'm trying to get it to extend/shorten based on the distance from the mouse to the ball. I have code in place (below) that works when the mouse is either to the left or right of the ball, but behaves rather strangely when the mouse is above or below the ball. When the mouse is in either of the latter locations, the triangle extends to be far bigger than the maximum length allowed by the program, yet a trace shows it is still within acceptable limits! I'm almost beginning to think that Flash is switching the 'width' and 'length' attributes around when the object is rotated by either 90 or -90 degrees!
The code I am using is:
[Code]....
Here's a couple of screenshots of the game as it currently stands too - please don't laugh at the horrible placeholder art: none of it is final haha (also note that I haven't implemented 'gravity' yet, so everything is sort of hovering in mid-air.) The first image shows the code working as I want it to with the triangle at it's max width, the second shows the triangle going 'huge.'

ActionScript 2.0 :: Distorted Objects - Modifying Width / Height
Oct 23, 2005I have a problem where Flash takes it upon itself to modify the width/height x/y values I set objects (MC's) to, usually by less than a pixel. I don't get that.. and wouldn't that mess some things up like when I'm increasing the size of an mc someodd 300 times its original size, then that 0.2 pixel Flash adds in white space could become 50 pixels. Also, when I change the size of x MC, some other MC's will change their size. I can tell because the other MC's are about 1 pixel apart and when I change x MC that pixel is filled in sort of. I noticed some decrease in these problems when I was using whole numbers and x/y values, but it hasn't stopped it completely. I can give an example swf if necessary.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Modifiy The Global Trace Function To Output The Current Time Of A Trace Action
Nov 9, 2011I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

Actionscript 3 :: Reset A Flex Label Width To "auto" After Setting An Explicit Width?
Oct 12, 2009Once I've set either the width or percentWidth property on a flex label, is there a way to reset the width to its default (i.e., the width of the text plus padding)? I'm using the label as a renderer. In some cases, I'd like it to automatically size to the text, and in other cases, I'd like it to be a percentage width of its container. Obviously, I could use two separate labels, one for each of the above cases, but I'm curious if it's possible to reset the label to its default behavior.
