I'm a noob, so please forgive me if i'm asking something really stupid! I'm doing a group project and i've just got the code from someone else, so i can add my part.
I am trying to add text in actionscript 3 (in a actions frame) simple enough. but.i want to have words next to each other, that have different fonts, font sizes and colors. I've been googling and experimenting for most of the day and haven't really got anywhere.
I will post what i have and what i would like to do, and if someone can help me, i would be most grateful.
Here the code that i'm working with:
[Code]...
When i first got the code, all that was there, was the info.text = "Animal...... line, i added the rest and also tried adding other line of code to make other words be in different fonts, but it didn't work.
So heres what i'm trying to do; I would like to have the headings, example; Animal name, Animal Type.. in one font, and the answers, example; Kangaroo, Mammal in another font.As it is at the moment, it look crap, because its all in the same font, color and size.
I can change the color of the label in Flex Builder, I can even BIND the color to a variable and that works, but I can't find the Color PROPERTY in order to change or reference it programatically! What is the ActionScript 3.0 code to change the font or color of a piece of text in a Flex RIA - or is caring in what color your text appears too bizzarre a request for a RIA? I wrote whole applications after just minutes of "learning" flex, how come it's taken me three days and I still can't change the color of my stupid label?

Why do the dynamic text font size appears smaller than what I specified in the flash dynamic text properties? I used a font size of 50 for the dynamic text and when I test movie, it appears to be only a font size of 12. Why is it so?
View 3 RepliesI have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

I have a dynamic text box and I would like to be able to use actionscript 3 to change the color, font, size, etc. of only HALF the dynamic text. Is there a way to use the TextFormat class (or another way) to format half the string and append it to the end of the dynamic text? I also don't want to use server side script or anything outside of flash.
I want to do this:
Hello World -> Hello World
Example: change the color of Half of the dynamic text box.
I have a textfield that is filled by a querystring.
example: http://www.domainname.com?dName=Michael+&+Mary+Heatherbaum
myTextfield.text=myQueryStrings.dName.toUpperCase();
If the persons name is only 3 letters I want the font size to be 120 but based on the amount of characters, I would like to shrink the font size in order to fit the whole name inside the text field. I was playing with autosize, but couldn't get it to work.
making a textfield font size auto adjust accordingly?
i'm trying to create a unordered list in Flex. My issue is that within each line, i want the word NEW to be a different font color and different font size from the rest of the label text. I am unsure of how to do this INLINE within the label component.

<s:Label text="u2022 NEW Invite your friends!" />
<s:Label text="u2022 NEW Features coming soon!" />

Trying 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.
I have embedded the "Century Gothic" font into my project FLA file, and exported it as a class called CenturyGothic.How do I use this font class in a Textformat instance which has been assigned to a text field? and how can I do the same in a text field which has been assigned a Stylesheet class instead of a TextFormat?

I'm using Flash CS4 and AS2. Currently I have a fully functional contact form in flash that works along with PHP.The problem is: anything you type in the input spaces is accepted and, thus, sent to my mail.Is there a way to impose a format to the input text? For example, the "e-mail address" field should be entered in URL... format and the "Name" or "Body" should not have less than 3 characters. If those conditions aren't met, the mail won't be sent.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am very new to action script, and using action script 2.0, I am having a problem getting an input textbox to read in mathematical formulas. To enter 5x^2, the key sequence to be used is {5}{x}{2}. i.e., the characters must be formatted as it is being typed.
Ultimately, I want to enter equations like 5x^2-4x-2.
The textbox should not allow non-numerical characters other than x.

View 6 RepliesI'm fairly new to Flash (over the last few months I have followed Actionscripting in books and online tutorials and can do basics by essentially following the recipes, but am having considerably more problems putting it all together for my own program).
I am trying to create a program for my students that will take their text input in fields like author, title, publisher, date, place of publication, etc. and output bibliography citations in the proper format (complete with punctuation). What is the best way to handle the text formatting to add punctuation and make the citation entries? Your text tutorial on color and other properties is very good, as well as the input text that returns the words, but how do I go one more step to add my punctuation to the user's input?

on click on "elements" i'm dynamically generating coloured boxes (all instances of the same symbol) and the colour of these boxes is applied through a colortransform. in the box there is a textfield and i want the the text to be colored according to the box color. i mean, if the box is dark the text has to be white, and viceversa.
here's the code:
Code:
var box_text:TextField = new TextField();
//textformat for black text
var dark_text:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code]....
The text shows up, but it needs to display bigger than it is. It's showing up consistently at about size 10, no matter what I set the size to, even "size = 100" .
public function StimLetter(data:Object) {
// format
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "Verdana";
[Code].....
My Text Format is not changing colour or size, despite me telling it to do so with the following code. it displays the number of steps taken (a number called Steps) to complete the level in my flash game.
ActionScript Code:
var myFont:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
myFont.font = "Ariel";
myFont.color = 0xCCCCCC;
[Code]....
It displays the box the correct size (height and width), position and number inside, but the text font is still black and small size.
In actionscript, is there any way to format the input text so that a dash or space is inserted after a set number of characters? So instead of xxxxxxxxxx
you get xxx-xxx-xxxx
I'm making a form in flash for an application I'm building. In the Email text input, I want to check that the user has entered a real email address. Obviously as long as its text@text.text then I'm happy. How do I check what the have entered a valid format?
