View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip that contains a textfield inside of it. This MovieClip has 2 frames, with the graphic changing colors in both frames and textfield staying the same.I have applied this code to it:
Actionscript Code:
btn.buttonMode = true;btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, pauseBtnOver, false, 0, true);btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, pauseBtnOut, false, 0, true);public static

I have the following situation: I create a movieClip and need to access the dynamic textfield that's inside the movieClip in AS3. As follows:
var mcAzul:mcStickerAzul = new mcStickerAzul();
this.addChildAt(mcAzul, 0);
mcAzul.x = 20;
[code]....
The problem is that always returns the message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Can not access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm trying to do the following: I have an empty movieClip in my stage called zonaCentral_mc. I use a function that has this code:
zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso = new zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso_mc();
zonaCentral_mc.addChild(zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso);
It loads the MovieClip zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso from the library into the empty movieclip zonaCentral_mc. The loaded MC has a dynamic textfield called titulo_text inside. How can I change that text? I'm trying:

I am a newbie in Flash CS3. How to resize the width of of a movie clip according to the size the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.
I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;
On doing this I find the clickable area changes according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all.
I need to load some swfs inside a movieclip with preloader.So on the stage I have some movieclips (linked to "product1" class) which will act as buttons to load particular swf, a holder mc and a dynamic textfield(named-"percent") for preloading stuff.My problem is how to reffer "percent" text field from the "product1" class? my code is like this.

Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
I have a Button that is inside MovieClip1 which is inside MovieClip2; yet when i click the Button it doesn't dispatch Event.

View 2 RepliesI added a SWC with movieclip assets to my flash builder project. I can access all movieclips with dot syntax but when I try to access my textfields it throws an error saying it is cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
Here is my code:
// gameMenuLevels is a main asset.
this.object = new gameMenuLevels();
This all works fine, I can go two levels deep:
var levelString:String = "level" + Utils.zeroPad(i + 1, 3);
var level:MovieClip = this.object[levelString] as MovieClip;
var bronze:MovieClip = level.bronze as MovieClip;
But when I try to get my textfield:
(bronze.getChildByName("levelNumber") as TextField)
I'm wondering if there's a way to have a text and use 2 different embed fonts.Basically, i have a text from a xml file and one textfield that I want to scroll but I want to use a different font for the title.I tried something like:
PHP Code:
var contentMessage:String = "<font face='myFont' >"+titleArray[0]+"</font><br>"+contentArray[0]; contentTxt.htmlText = contentMessage;
[code]......
Having a bit of trouble getting embedded fonts to work. The inconsistency with this is driving me crazy. I've gotten this to work before but not since going to cs5.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI'm using swfobject to embed my flash. I've created a simple textfield using FlexBuilder. It's an AS3 project, which extends Sprite. I've set its width to be 640 and height to 450. Then, in the swfobject parameters of the page, I've also set 640 x 450. I've made the background nice and red and ugly so you can see it. [URL]. It seems to be the right dimensions.
But I've got a textfield which is supposed to be almost the same size and height. This runs fine in FlexBuilder (is the right size) but is all messed up once I add swfobject Can anyone see what is happening? I just looked at it and it looks ok. But then I refreshed the page and the textfield is postage-stamp size (again -- this is the original behavior I saw.) It's now looking OK in firefox but not in IE8. Flash is supposed to look the same in all browsers?
AS3 code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.Font;

I am having a major issue with a textfield. I have a dynamic text field which receives html so its htmlText I cant use the regular textFormat as the overrides the bold tags in the html. So I need to use css. Minor complication I have to do inline css as I cant load external data due to the project specs. Not a problem I have done inline css pretty easy. But they want a non web safe font. Again no prob I can embed fonts via the library. The problem is getting the css to use the embed font from the library. I have tried adding the font as a object to my code and then in the css referencing it via myfont.fontName, as a string etc.. 5

View 1 RepliesHi. It doesn't seem that I can embed an FLV directly inside an SWF in any obvious way, and I don't want my FLVs to be separate files as I want people to just be able to simply copy my SWF over and put it on their own web site - including the video.
I've thought about embedding the FLV data as a binary class and loading it in as an FLV in memory as people sometimes do with SWFs, but I don't think this is possible as there is no native FLV type in the library.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to embed fonts at runtime in actionscript and it somewhat works. I can embed fonts by either using the embed tag or by loading a font library asset with a linkage name and use it with a new TextField. However, a textfield that exists on a movie clip already does not have the embedded font and is missing characters.
A quick example in code (textInstance exists on the movieclip):
var embeddedFonts = Font.enumerateFonts(); //Shows embedded font
var textFormat:TextFormat = textInstance.getTextFormat();
textInstance.text = "Don't be lazy"; //missing characters
