I've done this dozens of time before but for some reason any new dynamic text boxes I make will not properly render the HTML in them even with the HTML control turned on.
I'm using CS3 with Actionscript 3, targeting player 9. I've tried AS 2, and different players all to no avail. I've tried embedding fonts, and not embedding fonts with no change in behavior noticed. I do want to use AS 3 (and wrote a bunch of code for it in a different file already), but even in a new empty file I'm still seeing this behavior.
I've made a real simple (one line!) file with a text box to demonstrate.
I have HTML + CSS text. I need some lib with simple function like "Render String Var conteining HTML" So no external files (like in flash lib called HTMLwraper you just have to play your SWF on top of HTML). dinamic! I give it string it renders It into some conteiner (not as a bitmab but as if it was real HTML dynamically rendered in flash). (And I need real HTML + CSS support not what normal rich text block gives us)I am going to use it in with Flex (Flash Builder) so I like MXML component model but even pure flash AS3 will workout.It should be Free and Opensource (any license like GPL, LGPL etc will be ok).So Is out there such flashflex library for HTML + CSS dynamic rendering (rfom given String or XML)?
Has anyone else had trouble with the Render Text As HTML function in CS4? I want to use two different fonts in the one textfield. Looks fine in Flash but when I export the swf, only the first font is used.
Has anyone else had problems getting the "render text as HTML" button to actually produce that result? I've just got a blank fla with a simple, multiline, dynamic text area with the "render text as HTML" button pushed but simple tags(<b>,<i>,<p>) just show up as characters instead of formatting.
I had this line in my file before loading the XML file : XML.ignoreWhitespace = true; Even if this parameter is set, when I take the node and push it in the html textfield, all HTML is parse, I mean bold, italic, etc.., but It keep all tabulation space of my XML file
i have an mc with a textbox which i'm loading with data from an external text file. the box is set to 'render as html' but the tags in the text file are being ignored.
(i've tried everything i can think of, including starting from scratch several times...)
is there something that i'm missing, or is flash just playing up?
I want to import a remote html page in flash. I do not want it for rendering text as html, just the sourcecode for a page. A sort of editor for html files. When I load it, some data is missing and other strange things happen probably due to '&' in the sourcecode. Example file to load: [URL]
I'm working on an interface with an option to enter html code, and then click a button to render what's in the text box as html, and if needed convert it back to plain text to edit the html code again.I know you can change whether text boxes render their contents as html using text.html = true/false but it doesn't do it if the text box contains anything and setting the contents to "" before changing it doesn't seem to work either. Does this make any sense? If so does anyone know how I can do it?
Just to give you a little background, I am using CS4 and AS3, publishing to FP9. I am embedding fonts dynamically at runtime and there seems to be an issue with my dynamic 'html' text field when I have <b> tags within the CDATA.
In some cases, Flash seems to be rendering the bold text too close to the preceding character. Sometimes, even overlapping the preceding character. For the most part, this appears to be happening when the bold text appears at the end of the line before the text is wrapped.
I will note that, any text in the xml file wrapped in <b></b> tags is actually appearing bold, so I don't think it has anything to do with font embedding. In case it does, here is how I am embedding the font groups:
Problem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.
[Code]....
This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
Been away from Flash for a while and struggling to relearn. Also been working more with AS3, but I am working on something that was designed using AS2(not by me).I have a dynamic text box populated by an external xml file. Works fine, however I am having hassles getting it to scroll. I only want buttons, and not a drag bar. Tried several methods I found around the forums but nothing seems to work for me.iam.theData.textBodybuttons are btn_up and btn_dwn. Both are located inside the ima clip.
I am trying to have a simple swf with a static background image that will have phrases at random locatoin slowly fade in, stay for a few seconds,and then fade out. Then the next phrase, and the next one,and then next one,until it loops arround again. The phrases are coming from a database,and I have already created my asp code to give me a page with &phrase=phrase1,phrase2,phrase3,...&status=1&. My fla file has two layers--one for the background and the other for a movie clip wich contains a dynamic text field. My first frame loads my variables, and my second frame looks to see if status equals 1 (the last variable being loaded). If status is not equal 1, I send the head back to frame 1, otherwise I split the phrases into an array, get the height and width of the swf, and init a count var to 0.
Code:
//Look for a way to test the number of times the loop back to frame 1 //has been doen so that we can set a time out. Additionally, maybe put //logic in the system to test for a blank services? if (_root.status == 1) {
[code]....
However, many parts of that code does not work. I broke the math stuff up so that I could see the values in debug. Anyhow, Text_Width and Text_Height are undefined, which causes Text_X and Text_Y to be calculated for positions that may put the text off screen?
im trying to learn and understand actionscript 2.0... so i figured the first thing i would do is make a simple rpg. What i have done so far is make 4 way movement and now im trying to make a hitTest where the "char" touches the coin and it updates the dnyamic text with the instance of currency and then unload the clip.[code]also i am using flash cs4 so if you need me to reupload it in older format just ask.
I want to create Flash button that I can use for a dynamic menu.
To do this I have create a new symbol in my Flash project as a button. My button has 2 layers: * one layer with the graphics for the diffrent states (up, down, over, clic) * one layer with a dynamic text control
A have assign a variable name to the dynamic text (menuCaption).
When I put the button on my main scenario, I can change the caption of my menu item with: menuCaption = "some text";
Now I want to add many items to my menu barre, but all items a modified when I assign menuCaption to a value
What do I do wrong? What must I do to be able to assign each item separatly like <item_name>.menuCaption ="some text" ?
So Im working on a very simple drag and drop flash game using AS3. Everything is complete but I'm having an issue with the dynamic text. For some reason when you drop the item onto its target and accompanying dynamic text is all effed up.. for example when it should say "Try Again!" it says "r ain!".. I've been banging my head for the last few hours with no luck..And here is my code:
I have created a button symbol in the library that includes adynamic text instance called labelTxt. I've then dragged this ontothe stage to form several buttons called "btn1", "btn2" etc.I want to be able to change the contents of the text on thebuttons dynamically, but I am getting quite a few errors whiletrying to set the text.I have tried using (for example)btn1.labelTxt.text=myString but am getting errors saying that the property isn't defined.uote:1119: Access of possibly undefined property labelTxt througha reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.would skin a Button and use that but there are 3 quitedifferent styles (skins) of buttons on this particular chart, andI'm not sure how to do that with Buttons. And I keep thinking theremust be some easy way to access the labelTxt dynamic text in thebuttons I have created.
I want to make a simple script that will add a value to a dynamic text box by pressing F1 through F4. But I want it simple, I don't have time to learn a bunch of stuff. So I want...
on (keyPress "<F1>") { test = "test"; }
But of course F1 is an invalid key and won't work. Want I want to know is if I can write something like this that will do the same function; yet still simple.
I wanted to conduct a simple experiment, where I update a dynamic text field on the click of a button. Well, it throws no errors, but it doesn't work, and I can't figure out where I went wrong.
Code: import flash.events.MouseEvent; var currentText:Number;
creating a simple scrollbar that scrolls dynamic text. What I am looking to do now is be able to scroll a movie clip with text and an image in it. How do I do that?
I have several paragraphs of text that is using the scrollBar component to give me some scrollability that part works fine. I also have the "render text as html" box checked because I have some HTML formatting going on. Anyway, all of a sudden the published SWF file started ignoring the bold tags <b>. It used to work fine. Now, anywhere that I have text surrounded by <b> HTML tags, it just omits that portion of my copy once the file is published. When I change the tags to <strong>, the text comes back, but in a normal font both with the fonts embedded and without ... neither makes a difference with this issue. I've also tried checking and unchecking the "render text as html" box and that doesn't seem to make a difference. Has this bold tag become deprecated? I'm having difficulty get a font to display as bold.
I know this question was asked before, but none of the solutions work properly. How do I render a basic html in flex 4 without an iframe? I saw textarea renders some weird format that would suffice if it would work. For example I wan't to add an image like this
[Code]...
then 1. I press enter 2. I add the image again like above, I get the img tag inserted 10 times or so; which is weird (but not funny at all). All things being equal, html is a much normal approach, is there a basic renderer for flex 4 that works ok?
my problem is about render xml data as html when i select the option of render as html on textfield , it will not show any thing but when i remove this option it will shows html tags without render.

I want to import an html file that contains just plain tet inside of a dynamic text box. The things that I have tried jus tmake the html file pop-up as a new page, but i want the information inside of that textbox.
I'm trying to use a dynamic text field to pull in html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But the bullets dont take on the color assigned to the field. I've tried putting it in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and neither work. Can someone help me. This should be a simple fix, but I can't find it... I just want my text and bullets to both be white.
Simple code below. Using html text inside the flash document and having a dynamic field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and bullets green, but it doesn't work, only text turns green
this.txt.html = true; var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.color = 0x00FF00; // hex value for green this.txt.htmlText = "<P> This is the first paragraph</P><BR><UL><LI>Bullet 1</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 2</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 3</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 4</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 5</LI></UL>";this.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.
I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?
