Flash 10 :: Keep Format And Text Being Selectable?
Sep 23, 2010I found if I make the text selectable, the SWF ignores format such as bullet points indention, spacing between paragraphs. How can I keep both?

Actionscript :: Flash FTE - Creating PDFs Out Of Rendered Output, And Selectable Text In PDF?
Feb 12, 2011I wrote a huge post first but thought I shouldn't drop a wall of text here. Here's a summary of a problem that I'm hoping you all can provide some insight in:I have a web app for a client which uses Flash text engine api (not TLF) to layout some text in a report.The text requirements are specific so we like using FTE for typography.Now that the text is looking perfect to the client, how do I make what I'm seeing on screen into a pdf that looks identical?Tried purepdf or alivepdf sprite->bitmap->pdf approach... terrible results - we need resolution independenceLooked at purepdf api - doesn't seem to be a way of converting the final sprite output directly to the pdf.... seems like it'll require me to use their own API for typesetting / layout... which defeats the purpose of using FTE to do this (we'd lose kerning / ligatures etc that way?)Finally using the flash -> print -> using postscript driver like pdfconverter or cutepdf -> pdf ........ this is great because the pdf looks exactly like display and is vector-output (res-independent), BUTUsing FTE, the pdf created this way doesn't have selectable text in pdf! flash TextFields -> pdf do retain selectability. Basically pdfconverter doesn't embed the fonts in the pdf when FTE is used... it DOES embed the fonts in a pdf made the same way with same fonts in MS Word or something

Feb 12, 2011- I have a web app for a client which uses Flash text engine api (not TLF) to layout some text in a report. The text requirements are specific so we like using FTE for typography. Now that the text is looking perfect to the client, how do I make what I'm seeing on screen into a pdf that looks identical?
- Tried purepdf or alivepdf sprite->bitmap->pdf approach... terrible results - we need resolution independence Looked at purepdf api - doesn't seem to be a way of converting the final sprite output directly to the pdf.... seems like it'll require me to use their own API for typesetting / layout... which defeats the purpose of using FTE to do this (we'd lose kerning / ligatures etc that way?) Finally using the flash -> print -> using postscript driver like pdfconverter or cutepdf -> pdf ........ this is great because the pdf looks exactly like display and is vector-output (res-independent), BUT Using FTE, the pdf created this way doesn't have selectable text in pdf! flash TextFields -> pdf do retain selectability. Basically pdfconverter doesn't embed the fonts in the pdf when FTE is used... it DOES embed the fonts in a pdf made the same way with same fonts in MS Word or something
1- How do I get the text to be selectable in the PDF created from FTE > postscript method
2- (If not that) - How can I create a PDF from flash where the PDF is identical to what I'm seeing on screen - basically doing a direct final-rendered-Sprite to PDF .... if there's a way to make that PDF manually, then maybe I can embed the fonts manually...
Some context:
- How we're using fonts - they're SWF's created from teh fonts using [embed] and embedAsCFF=true for use in FTE
- I thought of using FTE only for typesetting / layout - and when we get the TextLines, using the good old flash...TextField (which does become selectable in final pdf) .... but I cant do that because some of our textlines have several variations of font styles and inline (GraphicElement) images on the same line.... I think its impossible to detect all of those variation can create the appropriate number of textfields?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash AS Text Animation / Can HTML Format Be Kept ?
Jan 13, 2011I am working on some text animations using ActionScript (3.0).The type of animations that I want require tweening each character of the text. Therefore, the way I want to do this is to break apart the text string, create a text field for each character, put it into a sprite, position the sprite so that the characters form a linear text and then tween the individual character sprites.But the problem is if I have an HTML string of text. If I try to break apart the string, then the HTML tags will break and they will be animated as if part of the text? Is there another way of achieving this type of character by character animation? Is there a way in which the HTML formatted text can be kept ?
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash MaxChars Property - Default Text Format
Aug 6, 2010I've created a code that read the date of a day from xml and then put it into a textfield. Here the declaration of the textfield:
Code:
var dateTxt:TextField = new TextField();
After I set for the textfield a format and the maxchars property:
Code:
dateTxt.defaultTextFormat = txtSTit;
dateTxt.maxChars = 8;
But if I insert a number of characters bigger that maxChars it is inserted in the textfield ignoring the maxChars property. It's because I've set the defaultTextFormat before to set the maxChars property?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Text Format Input Text Bold Without Selecting Text?
Feb 4, 2009Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.

View 2 RepliesCreate Scrolling Text Areas With Rich Text Format Content?
May 14, 2009Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).
