View 9 RepliesFlash :: Fl.controls.TextArea Not Scrolling All The Way Down?
Apr 26, 2011I have a TextArea control, and sliding the scrollbar all the way down always doesn't show all the text.I think it has something to do with me changing the typeface, because I noticed that when I do the setStyle to change the textFormat style, the textHeight value doesn't change.Has anyone ran into something like this? can I at least access the TextArea sources so I can fix this? Or is there a way to don't know, subclass it and fix it kinda easily?you can check it here: http:/[url].... if you see the scrolling texts, you can try scrolling all the way down, and then selecting the text and pulling farther down, sometimes it'll show more text. Sorry about the spanish.This is an example of a text that usually fails to scroll all the way down[code]..........

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Prevent Scrolling In Textarea Not By Limiting Characters
Jul 2, 2009I need the ability to create a TextArea entity in a constrained area (i.e., it is located at x and y and is w pixels wide and h pixels high and have that never change.), containing a proportional width font. As such, no 'num char entry limit' strategy is feasible. They need to be able to fill the entire area, and if that means 1,000 period '.' characters, or 200 '#' or "W' characters, then so be it.
The two lines following this one consist of 30 periods followed by 30 Ws.
..............................
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I cannot limit a user to 30 characters. They need to be limited by using a TextArea that will let itself be filled until full, and then refuse further input until space is created by removing existing content. I then need to print that TextArea _as rendered on the user's screen_. Any 'scrolled' lines would be unprintable, and therefore the user's entry must be limited BEFORE any scrolling occurs, or contrariwise, when scrolling occurs, the last entered content would need to be removed and the entity forced to un-scroll. I can program this. It won't be elegant, and in fact will be quite stupid, as any programming where a change event is called with each keystroke or paste and then conditions tested is inefficient, wasteful, and well.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Scrolling A TextArea Just After Updating HtmlText Property In AIR?
Sep 19, 2010There's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Variable Auto-scrolling Text?
Dec 27, 2011I'm currently trying to add an autoscrolling text box. The text that will display in the box will be variable. I want this text to then scroll left and right to display all the characters.I have added a scrollbar from the components, but i want the text to scroll by itself rather than have to drag the scrollbar manually if the text string is too long. How do i create the variable text entry?How do i make that variable text scroll?What im working on is a very simple game. After the into screen i want a box to ask for the names of two teams. The player types in the variables. The text entered is then displayed in the respective text boxes, IF the text is too long to all fit in the box i want it to autoscroll, if it fits then no scrolling is necessary.

Nov 22, 2010I'm creating a Flash game...blackjack, actually. It uses a back-end made from Java.Anyway, there's a basic chat in the game, where new messages are added to the bottom...pretty much your standard chat window.This is how I do it now:txtArea.verticalScrollPosition = txtArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition;However, that does not always work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't (oddly enough). I'm looking for a permanent solution. txtArea is the component TextArea (d'uh), and I'm using ActionScript 2.0.

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Auto-scrolling The Output Window?
Sep 6, 2011i'm finding that the output window is increasingly useless for debugging. i tend to spam it with hundreds of tracces per second, as a result of tracing things in per-frame functions. unfortunately the useful part of the output for me is usuall the last message that was written.
this is a problem because the output window does not automatically scroll down. Once there's more than enough messages to fill up the visible portion, i find it loses all usefulness, and scrolling through repetitive data to find the part where i did something, to see what output i got, is slow and tedious
i'm aware that stemming some of the flow of debug messages might be a good idea, but this slows down work as i often have to alter the structure of my code in ways which are otherwise useless, to only get debug messages to fire exactly when needed, as well as often having to place them multiple times.
making the output window automatically scroll would be the most ideal solution. in lieu of that i'm almost considering writing my own debug window with text objects just so i can make it behave usefully, but that seems silly and i'd rather not.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Auto-Scrolling An MP3 Player Listbox?
Dec 23, 2006I've created an MP3 player based on the now classic code at:http:[url]....One of the shortcomings of the player (that users seem to notice) is that the listbox doesn't scroll to reveal the currently selected item when the player is in "continuous" mode. The selected items disappear from view. I'm wondering if using FListbox.getScrollPosition and FListbox.setScrollPosition could be used to get the listbox menu to update and scroll the current selection to the top of the menu screen. If the listbox data object siimply returns an index number it seems like that number could be used to feed the getScrollPosition function.
