ActionScript 3.0 :: Use More Than One Font, Size Or Color On One Line Of Text?
Mar 26, 2009
I'm a noob, so please forgive me if i'm asking something really stupid! I'm doing a group project and i've just got the code from someone else, so i can add my part.
I am trying to add text in actionscript 3 (in a actions frame) simple enough. but.i want to have words next to each other, that have different fonts, font sizes and colors. I've been googling and experimenting for most of the day and haven't really got anywhere.
I will post what i have and what i would like to do, and if someone can help me, i would be most grateful.
Here the code that i'm working with:
[Code]...
When i first got the code, all that was there, was the info.text = "Animal...... line, i added the rest and also tried adding other line of code to make other words be in different fonts, but it didn't work.
So heres what i'm trying to do; I would like to have the headings, example; Animal name, Animal Type.. in one font, and the answers, example; Kangaroo, Mammal in another font.As it is at the moment, it look crap, because its all in the same font, color and size.
While creating one photo gallery I am facing one problem in controlling the Font Color, Font Size and other characteristics of a text loaded into a text field from an XML File. The name of the text field in question is �my_txt� it loads the title from the xml file attached herewith. how I can control the behavior of the text loaded in that text field.
now i need to customize the Font, Color, and Size.. can anyone help. I've found many possible solutions but none that I know how to apply to exactly what I have already created.
I can change the color of the label in Flex Builder, I can even BIND the color to a variable and that works, but I can't find the Color PROPERTY in order to change or reference it programatically! What is the ActionScript 3.0 code to change the font or color of a piece of text in a Flex RIA - or is caring in what color your text appears too bizzarre a request for a RIA? I wrote whole applications after just minutes of "learning" flex, how come it's taken me three days and I still can't change the color of my stupid label?
When i change the font size and font color i get the result i want.But when i try to change the font-family, or to make a part of text in italics or bold i fail to get what i want.I also tried this:
<font style="font-style:italic">my text</font>with no success
Why do the dynamic text font size appears smaller than what I specified in the flash dynamic text properties? I used a font size of 50 for the dynamic text and when I test movie, it appears to be only a font size of 12. Why is it so?
I have a dynamic text box and I would like to be able to use actionscript 3 to change the color, font, size, etc. of only HALF the dynamic text. Is there a way to use the TextFormat class (or another way) to format half the string and append it to the end of the dynamic text? I also don't want to use server side script or anything outside of flash.
I want to do this: Hello World -> Hello World Example: change the color of Half of the dynamic text box.
i'm trying to create a unordered list in Flex. My issue is that within each line, i want the word NEW to be a different font color and different font size from the rest of the label text. I am unsure of how to do this INLINE within the label component.
<s:VGroup fontSize="15" color="#ffffff"> <s:Label text="u2022 NEW Invite your friends!" /> <s:Label text="u2022 NEW Features coming soon!" /> <s:Label text="u2022 NEW Invite your friends!" /> </s:VGroup>
I have more inputText boxes on the stage that are loaded dinamic. I Let the user choose the font and the color. I also have a "save" button that will export everything as an XML. The problem is that I don't know how to get the font name and the color of the text field.
I am adding INPUTTEXT through actionscriptand want to change the text color through color picker component
var mainContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var fontsContainer:MovieClip; fontColorPicker.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, changeFontColor);
So I am using the loadVars function to load external text into my flash movie. My problem is, the text only shows up if it is set on size 9 or smaller....I need it to be bigger

Can you change the color of a dynamic text font using actionscript? I'm trying to make it so that when a user clicks a button on my menu, each button will make the dynamic text change a specific color.
This component requires that you use Dynamic text, the Multiline behavior, and embed all fonts. There are 5 lines of copy on the banner. I need to make two of the lines of copy a larger font and also adjust line spacing on two of the lines. I can accomplish this using Static Text but cannot seem to get it to work in Dynamic Text. If I change the font size on selected text it changes ALL of the font sizes for everything within that text box.
have created a scrolling text area in flash CS3 using a dynamic text box with text inside controlled by a couple of buttons using the .scroll property to add to the scroll value on each click of a button.i am wanting to add two new buttons to decrease and increase the font size of the text within the dynamic text area, which i thought should be fairly easy. i found a .size property which could be applied to text, but i do not think i am using it in the right way. here's what i have tried to do (where 'myText' is the instance name of my dynamic text area):
on (release) { var myFormat = myText.getTextFormat(); myFormat.size += 10;
I am linking to an external text file, (.txt), and I am working in Flash CS3, Actionscript 3.0, and attempting to use dynamic HTML coding. The scroll bars work, but all the text after <font size=.... doesn't show up.
Below is my actionscript for the text window: var content_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("agenda.txt"); var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req); content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); function onComplete(event:Event):void{ content_txt.htmlText = event.target.data;} function scrollUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [Code] ......
Try this experiment. Select Text, Static Text, Times New Roman [or any font], set size to 280. Remember how it looks. Now set to Dynamic Text. Suddenly the font size changes even when it still shows 280! How can I make the visual size stay the same?
I am using actionsript 3 and flex 3.5. Is there any way to change the font color of a part of text in TextArea control without using "htmlText" property?
For example I have a string "dog, cat, fish". I want to change the color of "cat" word to red.
How can i change font color in dynamic text box. Text is loaded from xml. And i want to make thisway that when user rolls over this text box, or mc over this text box then font color change.
I am using a downloaded script and it is helping me out tremendously. After a little manipultion it is doing wonders for my intended project. The script yields a nunber into a dynamic text field that I would like to enlarge. In other words, make the font larger. I changed the size of the text field but the font size didn't change.Here's my script:
stop(); if (!initialized){ memory = 0;[code]...........
I need to implement a functionality where a user adds some text into a text field. Next if a user clicks on a button, then the font size increase/decrease so as to accomodate entire text in the available area. That means if a user has added just hello world in 12 px font and text field size is say 400*200 and user clicks on the button, the font size increases such that the text is occupied in the complete text field. Similarly if lot of content is added at a font size of 16 or so then clicking on the button reduces the font size to make it fit into the available text field area.
I've got a dynamic text box loading text. In the interface there are three buttons to increase or decrease font size. The text box has the usual Flash scrollbar component. When you click on the large font size, you can still scroll, but eventually the text gets cut off.[code]Does any one know a trick to get the increase the font size without it getting cut off?
Is there a way to determine what the width of a Text Field should be if the string length and the font size are known. I realize that every font have different letter size but don`t know how to get to that value
I have loaded text on flash from an external txt. file. But when it comes to adding html to the files such as "font face" or to simply bold the text it won't work, I have check to have the html clicked on Flash, but the text just wont change.
I have this line of code that changes the size and color of the text but not the weight I have tried a load of variations but can't get it to work headline.text = "<font size="20" color="#FFFFFF" weight="bold">" + arr[0] + count + "</font>";
