IDE :: Forcing Setfocus On A Text Area?

May 29, 2009

I'm dealing with an inline hyperlink in a textarea filled with htmlText. I'm getting incredibly vexxed by this problem with having to click the link twice.I have learned here that this is because the first time a link is clicked, the text area receives focus. Then links become activated. The workaround for this, according to the article, is:

solve this by setting mouseOver = textFieldID.setFocus();

I really wish he'd set this in context, because no variant I've tried works.

Code:
mouseOver=showText.setFocus();
and

Code:
showSlice.mouseOver=showText.setFocus();

cause the link not to work at all. showSlice is the movie clip containing the textfield, which is called showText.This isn't as bad, but you still have to click the link twice (because I don't think this is doing anything at all):

Code:
showSlice.onRollOver=function() {
showText.setFocus();
};

It's a dynamically created textfield, and I am using AS2 in Flash 8. Code in full for this textarea is here:

Code:
var showText:TextField=showSlice.createTextField(instanceName="showText", castMems, castX, castDrop, castWidth, 100);
showText.embedFonts=true;
showText.multiline=true;
showText.setStyle("backgroundColor", "transparent");

[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load The Area Of The Xml File Into Text Area On Mouse Click?

May 21, 2004

I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.

ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Forcing Capitalization On A Dynamic Text Field Pulling Xml?

Oct 25, 2011

I'm pulling in an xml/rss feed into a Flash ad. I wont post all the code. I'll just post an example bit where the problem is. What I was hoping to do is once I have my feed pulled in from the source I need to force the text I'm pulling in to be in all caps. So if I wasn't importing the xml from a feed I would use something like this I think:ActionScript Code:<span typographicCase='uppercase'>the</span>Can someone show me how I can do this with my feed? Which would be to force capitalization on any text being pulled into my text field.ActionScript Code:textBox1_txt.text = rover_feature.items.item.title[0];

ActionScript 2.0 :: Add A Scrollbar To A Text Area That Swaps Out Xml Text Files

Nov 29, 2005

I'm building a site and I would like to add a scrollbar to a text area that swaps out xml text files. Currently, I have up and down arrows to scroll the text, but I would like to have an actual scrollbar instead since there is a lot of text in some of the sections. Here is a link to the current version of the site with the up and down arrows: [URL]

I can make the scrollbar work just fine if I put the text in the first frame, but whenever I set it up to call on text files, then the scroll bar won't work. Obviously, I'm pretty new at Flash. I've attached an FLA with the text box.

Pulling Text From A .txt To A Scroll Pane Or Text Area

Nov 6, 2009

Basically, my whole website's going to be in Flash, but I want to be able to update one page (sort of a news/blog page) without having to edit the Flash file every time. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this would be to set up either a scroll pane or a text box and pull the text in from a .txt file. That way I could continue to add on to the .txt file, and Flash would always pull in the current version. So, my issues are:

1. I have no idea where to start with the code for something like that. Is it a LoadVar? Do I physically put a scroll pane or a text area in the frame and put the action on that, or do I put the action on the frame and have it call up a text area component?

2. Will the text scroll automatically, or is that something else I would have to add in? I plan on adding to this text file for awhile, so it could end up being a lot of text over time.

3. Would I be able to format the text in the .txt at all? For instance, if I hit enter to put in a paragraph break, would that register once it's pulled into Flash, or would I have to put in an html paragraph break or something? That may be a dumb question, but as I said, I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript (or any other programming language for that matter).

Professional :: Formatted Text In Text Area Component?

Jul 24, 2010

I am trying to display an HTML formated file in the text Area.It should be straightforward task using the following code:

//----------load text file------------------
var loader1:URLLoader =new URLLoader();loader1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,displayText);[code].....

This uses a text area component dragged to stage and named myCV_TA. No text is displayed with that code.It does work when an ordinary text is used and myCV_TA.html/text is changed to myCV_TA.text.Tried many things and decided to live with the simple text file and apply some formating to it://----create textformat object

var mytextformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();mytextformat.font = "verdana";mytextformat.size = 16;mytextformat.color = 0x006600;[code]....

This code does not apply any formating, the simple text file is displayed but without any formating .

And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried

var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;
