I want to be able to write a paragraph in a textfield, and then click and hold, or do some similar gesture, and have the entire paragraph selected. I'm then going to drag it (using bitmapdata or whatever) to another textfield.
In order to do this, I need to be able to detect where a given paragraph ends. So I'm trying to do that with the following code, which searches for " " in the text.
package

import flash.display.Sprite;

View 3 RepliesI have this information that is pulled in from a PHP database and displayed in a textfield within flash which works fine BUT when I go to copy and paste that text into another textfield (a note facility) it then means I can't make a line break. I've tried all sorts with the text field and can't see any reason why it wouldn't allow it. Is there something about different text formats that mucks it up?

Is there a way to create a linebreak in a dynamic txt box. Something like this
HP Code:
line1="1st sentence";
line2="2nd sentence";
line3="Space space i'm in space!;";
linebreak= //however you do one
listbox.text = line1 + linebreak + line2 + line break + line3;
The output would be
1st sentence
2nd sentence
I am populating a dynamic text box with some xml elements that I am calling on. For example, I have two text fields and am filling them using
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester);
texttime.textname.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
How could I populate one dynamic text field using a combination of the two elements above? I'd also like to put a line break between the two elements.I tried something like this and could not figure it out
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester)+"/n "(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
I have an input field with a variable that needs to be displayed within a dynamic text field. I have noticed that when I publish in Flash 8, there is a line break after the variable and I need to sentence to be continuous. This displays without the line break when I set the dynamic text field to "single line;" however, there is about a paragraph of text to be displayed so I need the text to be set to "multiline." For some odd reason, multiline displays a line break after the variable, whereas "single line" does not.
Here are my variable names -------------->>
Input Field variable name is "userName".
Dynamic text field variable name is "outputText".
The sentence to be displayed:
outputText = ""+userName+", and the sentence continues here for a paragraph and so on..."
How can I have the dynamic text field display continuously, without a line break?
I've created dynalically a multiline input field for a backend app, the prob I'm facing is that even if I have used a "width" parameters, the user can type a text as long as he want on the first line of the field,it never line break to the next one.

What is the syntax for creating a line break in a dynamic text field?

I got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]

in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.
View 1 RepliesWhen a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?
I have a Dynamic TextField defined in the Flash Authoring Tool set to be multiline (cause the app can receive data from outside and it can be either 1 line or 1000 lines) but unfortunately the flash player just renders 1 line in the TextField, of a total that would have upwards of 100 lines.
I tried the following property:
textField.multiline = true;
but without success.

I have created a Flash Map that functions properly with a static XML file but when I try to load a dynamic XML generated my ColdFusion I get no results. The example can be found at: http:[url]...The one that does not work is at http:[url]....
This map should load the different states that are in the XML file but instead it does not load any of them. The two different XML files can be found at: http:[url]....and http:[url].....An interesting note: Firefox does not recognize the cfm file as a XML file but IE does. This may be based on the file extension.
The Action Script is exactly the same except that it references adifferent file. The Flash works when published for Flash Player 6 but when I try to publish for Player 8 even the
static XML does not work.

View 2 RepliesI have a text field on the stage with an instance name and is set as a Multiline text field. I'm populating it with data from an XML file.When I test my movie...the text field cuts off the text at the end of the text field and does not wrap to a new line like the Multiline setting.I even added a line of code to say

I would like to build a dynamic webdatabase.(One form that updates text and bit-maps.)I must use Microsoft ACCESS or mySQL.Is it possible and is there any video tutorials out there?I heard a lot of "tissling and tassling" that flash is not
well suited to work with databases.
I have a scroll pane that is linked to a movie clip with a dynamic text field. The scroll pane expands automatically based on the length of the dynamic text field. I would also like to have the dynamic text field expand automatically to fit the dynamic content from an external .txt file if there is too much text to fit in the default text field length.
Here is the code I am using to get the .txt files:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
// the data is loaded in the myLoadVars object as a property

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
