I have been working with htmlText and everything is loading and appears fine with one minor exception. For some reason there is no space between paragraphs defined by the <p> tag. There will be a line break, but not the extra space between the paragraphs.
View 2 RepliesI would like to know if <CODE>" ";</CODE> works with htmlText? I've tried and there is no spacing. if I use <CODE>"!";</CODE> I get "!".
View 1 RepliesI've developed a relatively simple calendar app in Flash that reads an XML file and displays text based on what day it is. A different bit of text displays in the same text box. Since the text is of varying lengths, I wrote a function to resize the text to be large enough or small enough to fit the box. Here's my function:
Code:
// Generic function for increasing text size to fill its container
function AutoTextResize(textElement, maxHeight):void {
textElement.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
[Code]....
It behaves as if the textHeight is LARGER than the height of the box, despite the values it outputs in the traces.
if I use an <img src='images/pic.jpg' /> within a text box that is using classic text, dynamic text as its settings, it has been assigned "render text as html" and has been set to multiline, it works great, that is when my image is in the top of the text area. When I move the image to the end of the scrolling text, it makes my text block larger to accommodate the text instead of making it just scroll more.

For the life of me I can't get the img tag to work in a textfield Here is my code, what the bleep am I missing here!! (the other html tags seem to work but not image)

I been doing more programming in other languages through the past two flash changes and am now using CS5 (and AS 2.0) for work. Tell me, why doesn't this work:
Code:
this.createTextField("test",1,100,100,500,500);
test.html = true;
test.htmlText = "Hi<br><br>Hi";
No breaks show up - it appears as "HiHi"
I've tried <br /> and <BR> etc. embedFonts && regular.
I (well, a rather angry client) found an oddity I would like to consider a bug in formatting htmlText coming fom XML's toString() method with css.
If somehow an empty tag ends up in XML like <h1></h1>, all of the following text in the field is formatted to the CSS defined props of h1. In the (simplified DocumentClass) code below I have an XML object which has an empty h1-tag after the first sentence of the first paragraph. Placing the XML it in the field renders the text following the empty tag as bold and with the fontsize set for h1.
Strangely, if the html source is initialized as a string and put straight in the textField (see commented code), all formatting is OK.
layout mess up if use css in htmlText.ike if I do
<p><span style='display:inline;color:#6b97fe'>Tel:</span>1234567</p>
there would be a line break after </span>

I am having an issue using getCharBoundaries() with htmlText. In the following code, I am trying to get the location of <img> tags, so that I can then move the image to where the <img> tag in the text, rather than the image being placed on the next line. getCharBoundaries returns an actual rectangle when I use plain text, but when it's htmlText, the function returns null (I put in a trace statement just to make sure of whether I was getting null or not). I've read that getCharBoundaries() can be unpredictable; does anyone know of a workaround or why this might be happening?

I have a htmlText Field, and I wanna embed a Movieclip from my library into the text.I've tried everything for about 5 hours, nothing worked, even though the Adobe Help stated that it's possible:src: Specifies the URL to an image or SWF file, or the linkage identifier for a movie clip symbol in the library. This attribute is required all other attributes are optional. External files (JPEG, GIF, PNG, and SWF files) do not show until they are downloaded completely.
View 9 RepliesI am populating a dynamic text box with some information that comes from an xml.
//fill in the text
infoBox.informationText.htmlText=
"<font size='16' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerIndex+[code]....
I am also placing an image in the text box which you can see from the url above.I would like this url to be dynamic just like the other variables that are filling in the text box calledMarkerIndex, calledMarkerDate, calledMarkerDescription.
I have another variable which specifies the url I'd like named calledMarkerContent. I've tried simply chaning the text piece for this but it does not work.
"<img src='calledMarkerContent'/>"+
I feel like maybe I am just making a scripting error. Or maybe I cannot use a dynamic variable in this place.
I have the following setup:wo textfields on the stage with Arial normal and Arial bold, both embedded. I then have another textfield which I am setting like so:tb.htmlText = "Test <b>Test</b>";For some reason, the bold text is not displaying as bold, but as regular weight. I have tried embedding the fonts in the library, using the [Embed] meta tag and even resorted to using CSS to force the fontFamily. Weirdly, I can use Font.enumurateFonts and see both fonts are embedded, but the textfield refused to use the bold version inside the < b > tags.I've been told this is a problem with Flash CS4 on a mac and that it will work on PC. I refuse to believe this is the case, however. Surely Adobe would have fixed this by now?

I am trying to create a menu with htmlText. That is, using a textField with several "html links" that call a function (<a href='asfunction:......).I have an array with the menu's options and I use a FOR loop to create each "html link".The problem is that I need the links in one line (at least until the maximum length of the textfield's line is reached..). I was doing this:content.htmlText += "<a href:asfunction...>..." ...but the line breaks. I tried to do:
content.htmlText = content.htmlText + "<a href:asfunction...>..." ...
but it does not work, either. And, if I do:
content.htmlText = content.text + "<a href:asfunction...>..." ...

I am reading some CDATA text from an XML file. This text has HTML tags in it.I want to place this text into a dynamically created textfield that has embedFonts set to true. However,when I set this to true, the html formatting doesn't work. Instead, I only see the text without any of the formating.
Now, when I comment out my embendFonts = true statement, the html formatting works, but I loose my linked, library font. (Since the font Futura is on my machine, it stil uses a jaggy (system?) version of it, I'm assuming this would be a problem on a different machine).Is it possible to use embedFonts with htmlText? Am I calling this stuff in the wrong order?

copyTformat.font = myFont.fontName;

View 4 Repliesso I'm working on an app requiring me to lay some simple HTML as multicolumn text, and hacking around w/ g.skinner's old regexp method of reflowing as3 TextFields. I'll be happy to share this code if I can get it working. No desire to get into screwing with text.engine at this point, and this has to be back compatible to FP9 anyway.
So I'm back-and-forth parsing from likely break points to determine if we're in a tag here, and jump ahead to the end of it if we are. The ridiculous issue I'm up against is simply that there doesn't seem to be a TextField method for getting the htmlText offset -- NOT the visible text offset -- of a character. Is there a way to do that?

I am having the most frustrating time with htmlText in TextField.apparently, if you set the htmlText of a TextField, you always get an extra line at the end.Here is what I have found out:Below, a multiline TextField is created and the text property is set. I then grab the htmlText property, set the htmlText to "" and then reapply the htmlText I had just grabbed. This causes a new line to be added to the Textfield:
Actionscript Code:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();tf.width = tf.height = 200;tf.border = true;tf.multiline = true;tf.wordWrap = true;addChild(tf);tf.text = "this is not htmlText";

View 1 Replieshow Flash handles accessibility of htmlText in Textfields? I know that no additional steps are needed to make Text Fields accessible. But it doesn't say anything about the content. For example, if there is an html link in the textfield, will that link be made accessible to a screen reader program so that the user may "click"/activate it? Below is some sample code. The implementation isn't so important to know, but it may give some insight to the question.There's a textfield on the stage with the name "myTextField".
function linkHandler(link_event:TextEvent):void{
trace("link_event.text");

I've got a StyleableTextField that displays very basic HTML. To format the HTML I currently use a Stylesheet declared in AS3.
