Flash - Change MovieClip Width Along With Dynamic TextField Size Inside
Apr 21, 2009
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'm making a vertical scroller with a mask. The content is inside a movieclip and the user scrolls around it.My problem is, I have lots and lots of content to put inside that movieclip, and I've reached the limit of the sheet. All inside the movieclip. How do I resize the sheet/canvas inside the movieclip so that I can put more info in it??I've googled it, but found nothing.Note: I just want to change the size of the sheet/canvas inside a movieclip and I don't want to change my document size.

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'm trying to change the text size in a dynamic text area within a (movie clip) button. For a couple of buttons I'd like to make certain text smaller, for example, to make the "vs" smaller in "A VS B". My buttons have dynamic text in them and the font is embedded and set at size 10 initially. The code I've got in my movie is as follows:
Code:
// define new text formatting
var minimenutext_txt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
minimenutext_txt.size = 8;
avsb_txt = "A VS B";
avsb_txt.setTextFormat(3,4,minimenutext_txt);
// assign formatting to button dynamic text
btn1.btext.buttext.text = avsb_txt;
The text "A VS B" shows up in my button, but I can't seem to do anything to change the format. I've tried making it bold, italic, that kind of thing too - but no luck. Does the setTextFormat command only work with input dynamic text boxes? Is it being overruled somehow?

I have a Flash file, which has to be liquid. I have a header, a footer and a center section, which all are percentage scalable. My center section has a MovieClip called info_txt, and I'm trying to make it high 20% of the center_mc's height. I do this, but I also load a text in that field (info_txt) with XML, and when the text (xml) is loaded and placed in the textfield it doesn't go multiline, but stays nowrap.

I'm building text balloons to display variable length messages in Flash. My question is pretty simple, though the answer may not be.The string I want to display.The font information.The width/height ratio I want the text field to have.How do I calculate the width and height of the text field it needs to display the text I give it, nothing more, nothing less?

I've implemented a video player to integrate into my Drupal website.
I would like to assign different width and height size to my swf according to the videos sizes.
How can I do it ? Should i pass back values from Flash app with an External Call ?
Can I retrieve the height and width of the video before to pass it to flash app, so I can set the html wrapper parameters in advance ?

I've created a Button in Adobe Flash CS5, it's a Symbol, and its type has been set to Button.
The button has a dynamic textfield with the instance name label.
I've set the class of this Button to MenuButton, and I've set the class to Export for ActionScript.
This is the code of the MenuButton class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]....
Whenever I put a string in MenuButton's constructor, label's text doesn't change.

mc_function.onRollOver = function() {
tf_text.textColor = 0x7cb0b7;

I used to know how to do this, so, I KNOW it's possible, but I can't figure it out again. I'm altering the width of my TextField by setting the width property but that warps the text. I want to alter the width of the text field without altering the way the font looks (obviously). I believe it has something to do with autoText or some such idiocy (why would I ever want to warp my text?!) but I just can't recall.
myField.width = 100; //
If the original width was 50 this simply stretches the field to 100, rather than adding 50 pixels into which characters can be drawn.

I've got 2 dynamic textFields that is feed xml data(String) from external xml file.What I want to achieve is that the text fields width should increase or decrease dynamically according the String that's passed into it.Eg:- if the String contains value "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello".The size of the textfield should increase to fit the entire String value inside it.I've tried using TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER or TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT, but I'm not getting what I want.

When creating a new TextField dynamically, is there a property that automatically adjusts the width to the content or is it always necessary to have txt_field.width = ...?
My text field:
txt_field = new TextField();
txt_field.wordWrap=true;
txt_field.text = source;
txt_field.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt_field.mouseEnabled=false;

I have some dynamic text with a background box that needs to widen to match the width of the text, this is how I am doing it at the moment, by multiplying by the average pixel width of arial. However it doesnt seem to be that accurate
Code:
_root.caption1.textbg._width = _root.caption1.words.length*7.5

I'm trying to trace the width of the actual text of a dynamic textfield (called 'label'). i know this should be
code: trace(label.textWidth);
however, all I get is an 'undefined' message in the output box. Whereas, if I trace(label.length) instead, then it counts the number of digits in the text field. I thought label.textWidth would work? I want to find the length of the text in pixels basically...

the idea it's to have a textfield of 200px width where the username gets loaded. The thing is that i need the font size to be as big as possible to fit in that textfield. So if the username is shorter the font size should increase if the username is longer the font size should decrease. So I am guessing i should be counting character and knowing how big each character is and then according to that make a mad algorithm to set the font size to make the text fit.

Is there any performance difference? I am scaling a 2000 - 4000 wide movieclip, within a 600 wide stage. Does it matter which way I scale it in terms of CPU usage;
myMovieClip.scaleX *= 2;
or
myMovieClip.width *= 2;
The movieclip will be scaled multiple times and to varying sizes.
