View 1 RepliesIs it possible to wrap text around an image? Here is a link of what I would like to do with Flex, not HTML as in the example. Will it be possible to use the textFlow component like we tried here?

how to make text wrap in a combobox but now my links aren't working and I can't figure out what to do next. I know the problem is in my eventlistener.
The full instructions for how to do this Multiline combobox are available here. [URL]

My sample is below. How do I code the below to have the text in the qoutes, wrap?
<item text = "Action Scripting Drag and Drop Ten Minute Tutorial" url = "" url_self = "1" />
</item>
Can I create a custom text box shape? Or parhaps create two text boxes and link them together so the text flows from the first to the second?
Or is there another way of doing it I haven't thought of?
I'm using CS5 on a mac.
Ive got a dynamic text box that loads different strings into it under the msgText var right, but the text is like 3 lines long sumtimes. So how can i implement sort of a word wrap kinda thing.

View 2 RepliesI've got a text field pulling XML and its CSS. The XML has a few long lines of text it uses as links. The links are long enough to word-wrap in the text field. Now, if you were to select the text, it would only select the words. However, the blank area to the right of the wrapping link is still an active hotspot for the link somehow. I wouldn't consider this a problem if clicking the blank area didn't return the text field to the top (it is scrolling text). It gets very distracting and hard to track where you are in the text.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to put a paragraph of text inside a circular (or half circle) shape using xml loaded text via Actionscript 3?
Ideas I have so far:
- format a textfield as center justified and put all the line breaks in manually. Prefer not to do this
- Use a linked textFlow object - not sure how to do this and concerned about the extra 100K added to my final swf
Perhaps there is a class that someone has written.
Okay, so i have a circle symbol and i want to have my text around the circle, do i have to adjust each letter seperately until i get them all in uniform or is there some way to "warp" the text as you can in photoshop?
View 3 RepliesI want to curve a dynamic text from a straight line to circular curve (using a slider). I have placed the characters of the string in each textfield created at runtime.
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know how to wrap a .mov file into a swf?
View 7 RepliesSo for a site I would like to have 2 swfs, mainContainer(just has preloader) and index(contains all assets)
This will allow me to have a nice, 0%-100% preloader.
However during development I will just be publishing index. So to start my chain of functions, I have my document class for index like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class index extends MovieClip
{
var path:MovieClip;
[Code].....
However, this will fail when index is loaded in to mainContainer, because the code gets run before I addChild on to the mainContainer displayObject.
So I need a way to detect whether index is loaded or not in another swf. How's that possible?? There doesnt seem to be an easy way.
What I have so far is all my menu items get added to an array and they have a start y property. They are all evenly placed apart.I'm taking this is little steps so as a start I wanted to click on a menu item and just move it to the center of the menu and reposition the others.I have the mid point stored.So when I click the item I find out what index in the array the item is at and I find how many index positions away the item with the start y I want to move to is.I then go through every item in the array and tell it to look that many positions away, get the startY of the item there, and set it as its destination Y. In theory it seems sound to me but it completey does not work.the code I have so far is like this
Code:
private function rearrangeStartY($menuitem:MenuItem):void
{

I've got a infinite scroller (adjusted one of scotty's) and it's not wrapping around i.e there's a gap in the images, the last image kinda blinks at a certain point.I've attached the files, it's probably something quite simple but i cant see it.Here's the script:
Code:
spacing = 0;
containerMC._alpha = 100;

I'm trying to load text within a shape on the stage. The shape is a square with the left and right sides concaved. )( ...I'm not sure how to go about this...my text is loading externally from a .txt file, making me think that this is not possible.
View 1 Repliesi have a straight, gradient line which extends from one end of the screen to the other.
what is the best (or only) approach for screen wrapping this line graphic, so that it appears to be moving?
my current "solution" is to draw the horizontal line at double the width of the screen and duplicate the gradient pattern for each half of the line. the line is center-registered and it's moved toward the right. once half of the line traverses the stage, the line is reset to it's starting point.
Is it possible to wrap a variable-length-arguments function in Actionscript?[code]but it didn't work since sprintf was called with just 1 extra argument, i.e. the Array args.
View 2 RepliesI'm working in Away3d and have hit a road block.I'm creating an abstract primitive (that looks like a pentagon) made from 5 faces, each of which is determined by dynamically generated vertices. I can't just use the regular polygon class because the placement of the object has to be exact.
Here's the issue:I need to 'cover' the abstract primitive in a bitmap.So all five faces need to be covered in one bitmap.But my code (below) results in each face getting covered by its own bitmap.So instead of looking like a pentagon covered with the image, you can see each face individually covered by a different copy of the bitmap.
var ap:AbstractPrimitive = new AbstractPrimitive();
var bmm:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(Cast.bitmap("roundDoor"));
ap.bothsides = true; [code]....
I have a time line of 500 points. On a timeline that wraps around how do I find if the shortest distance between two points is to go forward or backward? Example,I'm on frame 30, the target frame is 100 and the total frames are 500. I know that going it will take 70 frames to get to 100 going forward and 430 to go in reverse but I don't know the codes to figure this out. I'm using ActionScript but I think I would understand the codes if it were written in other professional languages like JavaScript.

I would like to have a spark datagrid that wordwraps all rows where relevant. At the moment it appears like the width of a cell is dependent on the contents of the first row and then subsequent rows are word wrapped. For example:

How can I get the datagrid to dynamically resize to 100% of the container width and for wordwrapping to happen on all rows? (not just rows after row 1)
I was wondering how are circular preloaders done? Not just a preloader with a circular animation but actually a circle that grows with the progress.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to do a circular scroll. attached gif for a mockup. I am not sure how to go about
View 9 RepliesI am a beginner in Flex. For my appln, I wanted to have the progress bar, but not the default that Flex Framework provides.
I wanted to have a circular loading "progressbar" that would move in circular fashion before completing one complete revolution to 100%.
Can I do that in Flex 3 ? If yes, how ?
I am currently trying to figure out a circular alignment problem. so if you look at the following code, it works perfect without the positioning section. All the data is being loaded from a database and when the user clicks on the mc which houses this code in its second frame, it accesses the database and if there are more rows in the database whose owner column matches the name of the clip it will add more circles to the stage and then use other data received from the database to edit it such as its colour. But what I am also trying to do is align the newly added circles in a circular pattern around the mc (when clicked the mc will be centred on the stage.
