ActionScript 3.0 :: Make The Text In A Textarea Go Until The Length Of The Textarea?
Nov 3, 2009A little much put in the title, but my question is just that. I have the following AS3 code for my textarea...

Texta1.alpha = 0;
Texta1.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;
[Code].....
Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).

Flash :: TextArea Has Blinking Cursor?
Jun 16, 2009Is there a way to tell if a Flex TextArea has a blinking cursor? One indication is if the component is focused: focusManager.getFocus() == textArea
But it's possible to have a blinking cursor without having the focus. I'm not sure if the converse is possible (focus without blinking cursor).
Edit: The rub here appears to be a distinction between "component-level" focus and "player-level" focus (per the FocusManager docs). I haven't yet found any great explanation of the latter or APIs to it.
Flash :: 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 2 RepliesPHP :: Flash - How To Capture Textarea With Linebreaks
May 14, 2011I'm trying to experiment with taking text from a textarea in a flex project and open it up in a php page. But the php isn't line breaking where it should be. An Example of the text i'd like to bring over to php would be:
You: Hi there
Them: Hello
You: This is a great example
Them: I know right?
Here's my php:
<?php
$text= $_GET['text'];
echo $text;
?>
Right now I came up with something like this in the actionscript...
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("savelog.php?text="+chatBox), '_blank');
I also tried something like:
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.valueOf().replace("
","<br/>");
and
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.toString().valueOf().replace("
","<br/>");
But apparently the isn't translating over no matter how I get the chatBox var so its not even making a <br/>. But, even if i did get that to work it wouldnt be ideal. Because eventually in the end I want to be able to just incorporate the pastebin API to paste this GET data and post it on there. And I don't think it would look too pretty with having <br/> after every line...Is it possible to bring this text over to php and recognize the line breaks in a way that would work well with what im eventually trying to accomplish?

Actionscript 3 :: TextArea Text Formatting Not Changing In Flash CS5?
Jan 8, 2011I am studying Flash and want to make a video player with where you can change video and the corresponding subtitles with a click on either "forward" or "back" button.
So far I have created 2 arrays of video files ("[videos]") and text strings ("[captions]"). By clicking on one of the buttons, the video in the FLVPlayback component changes as well as the the subtitles-text in the TextArea.
However I have a problem with text formatting.
I use the following functions for button click:
function playNextVideo():void
{
if (currentVideo < videos.length-1)
[Code]....
My problem is that the format changes only when I click the button, but it is not applied for the first subtitle.
So, for the first video I get a plain text, with black color, not italic and not with size "18". However, if I click on "forward" button (and thus execute the playCurrentVideo() again), the format will change. If I then will try to go back to the first video, the text will now be formatted.
So my question is - what causes this condition and how to handle it?
Flash - Append Flow To Existing Textarea Component?
May 16, 2011I'm looking to simply append the following text to an existing spark.components.TextArea's text flow:
<b>something</b>: hello world
I have attempted to do this using the following code, but nothing happens:
this.textarea.textFlow.addChild(TextConverter.importToFlow(
"<b>something</b>: hello world",
TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT));
How can I accomplish this? I know in the old mx.controls.TextArea component, I could simply do:
this.textarea.htmlText += "<b>something</b>: hello world";
How can I do this with the new TLF/FTE API expressed in the spark.components.TextArea component?

View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 - Flash CS4 : Differing Behavior Between Console And Textarea For Printing UTF-16 Characters?
Mar 31, 2011trace(escape("д"));
will print "%D0%B4", the correct URL encoding for this character (Cyrillic equivalent of "A").However, if I were to do..
myTextArea.htmlText += unescape("%D0%B4");
What gets printed is:
ô
which is of course incorrect. Simply tracing the above unescape returns the correct Cyrillic character, though! For this texarea, escaping "д" returns its unicode code-point "%u0434". I'm not sure what exactly is happening to mess this up, but...
UTF-16 ô in web encoding is: %FE%FF%00%D0%00%B4
Whereas
UTF-16 д in web encoding is: %00%D0%00%B4
So it's padding this value with something at the beginning. Why would a trace provide different text than a print to an (empty) textarea?
Actionscript 3 :: Maintaining Textarea UIscrollbar Position On Loss Of Focus In Flash Embed
Oct 18, 2010I'm using Flash CS4. Everything functions as it should when CS4 previews the swf after compiling it. However, after embedding the flash item in a webpage, if the textArea loses focus within the flash piece, the textarea's built-in UIscrollbar resets to the very top. Here's the kicker: if I add a FOCUS_OUT event listener to the textArea to store the current scrollbar value, I find that the scrollbar value has been reset to minimum even before the FOCUS_OUT event is triggered! WTF? I think this is occurring because the textArea's htmlText propery is dynamically populated. Adobe AIR has advanced methods for handing HTML, but not simple AS3, oh no. How obnoxious. What can be done?
