View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text box that acquires text from a txt file.
Sometimes the text is greater than the text field so I want to be able to show a page up and page down button. However I do not want these displayed if the text does not exceed the field.
Currently the buttons are always displayed.
I understand how to get the text field info, I do not understand the "easy" bit of only loading the buttons if the text field size is exceeded.
I want to accomplish this. I want to have two buttons and my piece of text. When the user clicks the plus button the text gets larger. When the user clicks the minus button the text gets smaller.
View 3 RepliesWhen I click the type tool and drag a text box out and type a couple words at 235pt size it looks fine. as soon as I click off the text box, the text size jumps down. I have no idea why this is happening and I can't get it to stay. When I click the type tool on the box again the tet appears at the 235pt size. But when I click off of it and play the movie it is at the incorrect size.

View 3 RepliesNo matter WHAT I have tried.... a sniffer, no sniffer, stand alone on a webpage by itself.This slash file which is in a popup window 600x400 will not display 600x400 in firefox. It always is 20-40 px larger in both directions. I can't take it anymore!! What the hell is the matter with firefox his file is 6 years old for gosh sakes. It works and has worked online for years... so whats the Firefox problem all the sudden I am begging !If I can find a good flash designer who knows php, js, and html well, I am going to have future projects. But this little gem is a good promotional tool.... but the problem is......... FIREFOX wont display it right ! And why does firefox INSIST on putting the location bar in html popup windows! The window is the right size 600x400.... the flash is not... even with dimension definitions

View 0 RepliesProblem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
how do i keep text in a text field from being stretched? when i say text i also mean pics cuz i loaded from a html file.the thing is, i have a container thatresizes to display different content and the text field is in it.. i dont want to alter it
View 3 RepliesI am creating a dynamic text field in the IDE and putting it on top of a simple one-color square movie clip. I've attached a listener to the movie clip in AS 3, to make it act like a big button. However, since the text field is on top, it blocks the button from reading the cursor, within the text field. I set "selectable" to false in the IDE, on the text field, but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas? Do I have to add a listener to the text field, also?
View 2 RepliesWhen I Selection.setFocus(someTextField); the cursor doesn't start blinking in the text field. I've tried it in the flash IDE as well as in a HTML page, I can't seem to get the cursor to start blinking automatically in an input TextField.
I even did an onEnterFrame script to make sure the TextField was loaded and ready before I did the selection. I've also used Selection.setSelection(0,0) , etc. It just never shows up.
If I click the input TextField the cursor shows up as normal though. I just want it to automatically appear as this is a form and I want it to be clear to the user which textfield is currently selected when I change focus.
This is for a touchscreen project with an on-screen keyboard so the user has no mouse.
Even if the user types some letters and sees them appear in the input box properly the cursor STILL doesn't appear. Only when I click the input does the cursor appear.
I am making a text field that must change every time a user clicks the next button. I know how to change the text of a AS created text field and change it once more with but I need to change it about 50 times +.
How would I do that without making 50 frames?
I have a few text fields where text is driven from a .txt file on the server. I would like to have the ability to change the size of the font (which is embedded) to a larger/smaller size from a server .txt file (the same one as the copy comes from) to make a sort of style sheet for the copy.I have already done this for the colour of the 'movieclip' containing the font using this;
onClipEvent(load){
changedcolour = new Color(this);
changedcolour.setRGB(_root.offState_1);

What is the best way to dynamically size a text field?I've been able to size the width (probably not the best way), but how about the height? What variable can I use to find the number of lines used in a text field?[code]

View 1 RepliesRelative newcomer to Flash, and I have (what should be) a simple question: how does one go about making the CS3 checkbox component larger? I'm not talking about the bounding box (checkbox + label); I'm talking about the checkbox itself. I've looked all over the place, and I'm stunned that this doesn't appear to be as easy as I thought.
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text field which gets updated via an input text field on the stage!
I just need to know how I can reduce the size of the dynamic text font when there are too many letters in the text box!
I've tried this code :
this.result1.onChanged = function() {
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.size = 25-(this.text.length/2);
[Code]....
I have the following code, but changing the .size does not affect it at all.
ActionScript Code:
createTextField("my_txt",400, (_xmouse+15),(_ymouse-20),160, 80);
my_txt.multiline = true;[
I want a circle to get large. No problem:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscyle<200) {
_xscale+=10;
}
}
but now: when the circle has reached the desired size I want him to shrink back to e.g. 150
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscyle>150) {
_xscale-=10;
}
}
I have problems because at a certain time both if-conditions would be fullfilled and nothing happens.
I am using a downloaded script and it is helping me out tremendously. After a little manipultion it is doing wonders for my intended project. The script yields a nunber into a dynamic text field that I would like to enlarge. In other words, make the font larger. I changed the size of the text field but the font size didn't change.Here's my script:
stop();
if (!initialized){
memory = 0;[code]...........
I'm using evt.target.borderColor = 0xff00000 to successfully change the color of a dynamic text filed that is the target Now I'm trying to change the border size. borderSize isn't being accepted, so I was wondering if there is an attribute to change the border size of a text field? My internet searches are coming up with nothing that works.
