View 1 RepliesThis bug is hard to describe, but easily reproduced with the bottom code. Just copy, paste, and compile+run in Flex 3 and you'll see the problem.
Edit: Here is a link to a running demo: [URL] In the demo, the default color of TextArea is set to red.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="horizontal" applicationComplete="applicationComplete(event);">

I can see that when I set htmlText in a textarea control, the text property contains the html free version of the text. So there is a parser somewhere that is ripping of html from the content, which would be very usefull for my purposes.
However, based on the flex source code, the setting of html is done in UITextField.as, which is the type of the textfield member of TextArea. The line that does the work is:
super.htmlText = value;
in function override public function set htmlText(value:String):void Trying to follow the class hieararchy, I end up in FlexTextField class, which extends flash player's textfield class. It appears the functionality I am after is in flash player. So is there any way of accessing this html cleaning function?
I have a text area control on a form that is supposed to accept 5 digit US zip codes. I have assigned the control a keyUp event that checks the number of characters entered until it reaches 5 then forces a new line.
public function forceNewLine(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
var maxLineChars:int = 5;
var currentLine:int = 1;

It works fine except that when the new line is inserted, the cursor moves to the beginning of the textarea. I want it to go to the end.

View 1 RepliesI would like to be able to move images into and out of Flex by converting back and forth between ByteArrays. I've been having some trouble with this, so I designed a simple test program, and even that I can't get to work. Here's the code I'm trying right now:

So far the process follows top to bottom: Click button 3, image displays, everything is going well. Click button 4, and I get "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type." after the line "loader.loadBytes(myByeArray);" in the function button4_clickHandler. As far as I can tell I'm using everything as intended.
How can I style my html content of a TextArea? I tried it like this but it keeps throwing errors:
var h1:Object = new Object();
h1.fontFamily = "DistrictThin";
h1.color = "#FFCC00";

I am using a TextArea. I set its htmlText as follows:
textArea.htmlText = '<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="14" COLOR="#FFFF00" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P>'
The problem is that there are always 2 lines in text area when it runs......when i remove this i get usual one line but then i m not able to set color and all.I want to use textarea, set different colors on it and i dont want 2 lines in that.....
According to this webpage, the htmlText property in TextArea can handle CSS text style if using span tag. I want to format multiple tags in my code. Something like:
var tags:TextArea = new TextArea();
tags.htmlText = "<span style='color: rgb(165, 150, -90);
font-size: 0.955882610016677em'>street</span>,[code]............
It only gives me plain text. I was wondering if it is supported in the htmlText property and how do I get around this.
There's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.
I have a number of very poor-quality pdf documents that look like 80's photocopies, which I'm rebuilding in Flash (Flex Builder 3 MXML application), representing paragraphs of text in TextAreas so that selected portions can be bold or italic, or whatever I need. I need a way to apply toolTips or event listeners to individual words within the block of text to link those words to a glossary. I'm perfectly happy to create a definition panel that is populated and made visible with a mouseOver, but don't know how to do it to just a portion of the text.

I've a TextArea component in my MovieClip. When I double click on it, I want to switch to TextField component, allowing me to change its content. When I click outside, I want to restart its original class (TextArea).
I'm doing this, but didn't work:
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.target.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Where element is a TextArea (classic and dynamic text).
This is how my MovieClip looks. "Name" is the TextArea that I want to allow user changes. I'm setting it like this:
Nombre de instancia = Instance name (empty)
Texto clasico (classic text)
Texto dinamico (dynamic text)
The MovieClip is controlling my by own base class (called 'ConfLayer'). Inside it I have this:
public function doStuff(e:MouseEvent):void{
// element = TextArea 'Name'
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
} private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tarea:TextArea = e.target as TextArea;
var tf:TextField = tarea.TextField; // this line throwing error
tf.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Because AS3 gives me errors, I tried this:
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.target.TextField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
When I double-click on TextArea element, the previous string removes and I can't write nothing.
I'm looking to take an object that contains String and Integer context and that has pushed upon a Stack and pop those specific contents into a display that the user can see. The display consists of two textareas and a label.I can't figure out how to access the individual parts of the Object to display them though..[code]

View 2 RepliesI am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?
The code is as follows
private var arrow:UIComponent;
private function resetAssets():void{

I am developing a mobile project in Flash builder using flex 4.5. I am very new to flex, with some background in Obj-C.urrent Setup:I am passing the text property of a text input component to a second view via navigator.pushview{view.Someview, data}public function doSomething():void{navigator.pushView(Session_View, timeInput.text);This successfully passes the text I put into the textinput to the Session_View instance and I can display that text in a label in the mxml; however, I would like to take the text passed and convert it to an integer to use in my logic.Within Action Script I have tried parseInt() function with no luck.I have also tried to assign data to a variable in actionscript with no luck.

i'm making a small "add news" movie for a site in actionscript. When I insert an image in my textField, I can only move the cursor with my keys and not with my mouse anymore. I put the image always in front. I also have to click one time in my textfield, otherwise my text appears under my image. When I click it aligns to the right.

I am trying to create a similar effect to what is used in CityVille for dropping coins and experience icons, they do a custom move animation and it first moves a little bit up and then down. It looks like it is following a spline or a sine function.

View 1 Repliesconversion of htmlText ( which contains all the formatting info ) to an equivalent TextFormat object.. so that I can transfer the htmlText info ( with formatting ) to a TextFormat object and then apply them to any textfield..
You may wonder why this approach when it can be done directly using the htmlText? Cos I am trying to manipulate the text field by resizing it ( with a user-controlled handle )..It works fine when I use normal text, but when I use the html=true, the resize seems to go haywire... ( if any one has tried this earlier.. I would like to hear about getting around this )
I need to apply the formatting at the same time make it resizable ( by user ) as expected.. which could be done if the html formatting info can be applied as a TextFormat object to the text field.. rather than set the htmlText="someFormattedText".
In short, I am looking for a parser that would read the htmlText info and convert it to TextFormat object(s).
