ActionScript 3.0 :: Formatting Html Text In A Dynamic Text Field

Jul 4, 2009

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Box Formatting?

Jun 22, 2010

I'm running into issues with using HTML formatting for a dymanic text field. I know these are quirky and I cannot figure out how to get the formatting proper.I have on my stage a dynamic text box called "content_txt" inside of a movie clip instance "content_mc". When it enters the frame, I fade the "content_mc" from alpha 0 to 100 using a timeline animation. In order for this to work, I have to embed the font in my "content_txt" text field. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed the font.
 
The dymanic text field is set to render as HTML. In my actions layer, I set the text:

this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."
 
In summary: 1. If I do not embed the font, the alpha fade does not work but the HTML formatting does.
 
2. If I embed the font, the alpha fade works but the HTML formatting does not.
 
How do I resolve this? It's driving me nuts!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Accepting HTML Formatting?

Oct 29, 2009

I am linking to an external text file, (.txt), and I am working in Flash CS3, Actionscript 3.0, and attempting to use dynamic HTML coding.The scroll bars work, but all the text after <font size=.... doesn't show up. Below is my actionscript for the text window:

var content_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("agenda.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

[code]...

The Lynda book I am using doesn't explain very much about the html coding beyond adding a few <it> and <b>. When I use them they show up fine. But when I place this text in the .txt file:

<font size=14> <align=left> Blah Blah Blah </font></align>

Nothing shows up! When I take away the <font size> al the text reappears, yet unformatted.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Rendered In HTML Formatting

Dec 4, 2009

I am using AS2 and am trying to load text with the html formatting in place. The button for render text as HTML is clicked and I tried using the action script with the same purpose. Some of the html reads, such as <b> instead of <strong>, the <p> and </br> tags are working. I cannot however get <i>, colors, etc... to work. I have embedded all of the characters and glyphs into the dynamic text field. Nothing seems to be working for several of the text attributes which are present in the .txt file I'm loading.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Html-formatting Of Dynamic Text Field With Embedded Font?

Sep 19, 2006

If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:

ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";
