IDE :: Textformat Tabstops And Bullets In Xml File?

Jan 4, 2008

According to the search there's never been a post that contains the word "tabstops" in the history of . I am honored to be the FIRST!Anyway, I am converting an application so that text content that was once trapped in the authoring environment will now reside in an external XML file.The problem i'm running into is that my "textformat tabstops" tags and bullets no longer work.In the content I had:

Code:
<textformat tabstops='[10]'><br><br><b><u>Blah blah blah</u></b><br> Blah blah blah<br> lah blah blah etc.</textformat>

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Use Textformat And Tabstops

Oct 6, 2009

I have an text field set as HTML and Im pulling in some text from XML and I can't figure out how to use textformat HTML tag with tabstops, here is XML:

ActionScript Code:
<![CDATA[<textformat>Name Surname Nickname</textformat>]]>

I want all to be separated like so(100px between Name & Surname and 150px between Surname & Nickname):

Name 100px Surname 150px Nickname.

How to do this? I guess I would have to do something like:

ActionScript Code:
<![CDATA[<textformat tabstops="100,150">Name Surname Nickname</textformat>]]>

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField With CSS AND Tabstops

Feb 24, 2008

I have a textfield that is styled using an external CSS. My problem is that I also need to define tabstops within the textfield so that I can display some information in a three column list. The only way I know to do this is to create a new TextFormat object, define the tabstops, and apply it to the textfield. BUT, you can't do that and if there's already a CSS.

Nothing happened.A similar question was asked on this forum... the answer wago to the Character Map (where is that) or use dynamic text (Itried putting alt0149 in the dynamic text box ??? but it didn'tork).My work-around so far is to copy a similar bullet and add itto the text box. But there must be a quicker way.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Option For Creating Bullets?

May 7, 2009

I could create a movie clip for a bullet and create a new instance of one every time a bullet is fired. Then, I could have 100 little bullets all flying around checking collision detection...

There must be a better, more efficient way to do bullets. Anyone know of anything already out there?Otherwise, I could create a collision detection queue for the bullets, or predict where the bullet will fly (since it is usually always linear), but if the bullets become larger, the actual movie clip of the bullet may be wide enough to hit something, but the line the bullet is traveling does not necessarily hit that other object.

But is there a fast, efficient system or way of handling things already out there?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Multiple Bullets?

Jan 31, 2010

I'm working on a simple top-down zombie shooter to teach me better AS3 practices. There's one player, can shoot multiple bullets, and a certain number of zombies on screen at once, that increment by one when all of the previous ones are dead.

So, I have everything working great except for one thing: even though I'm spawning multiple bullets, and they go in the correct direction at the right speed, only one moves at a time.

Here's the code for spawning bullets:

Code:
// shoot - check to see if the gun can shoot, then shoot it
private function shoot():void
{

[code]....

I have a similarly structured pair of functions for the zombies, and they chase after the player just fine. If I trace a bullet's name when it collides with a zombie, it always returns 0. I've tried changing the number of bullets that can be spawned, but it remains the same.

Also, the moveBullets function is called from gameLoop(), which is itself called from an event listener for ENTER_FRAME. The movePlayer and moveZombies functions I have are also called from gameLoop.

Flash :: Bullets In List Following Mouse Movement?

Feb 1, 2012

I've been having a problem I've been working on for multiple hours now with no luck. I have movement bound to arrow keys and the user looks around via the mouse. When I shoot I want it to continue off in the direction it initially started, but what happens is if the user moves the mouse the bullets change directions with it.[code]...I think what is causing the problem is that when I push the bullets into the array they're all sharing the effects of the user moving the mouse instead of keeping their initial value.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Text Bullets In Flash?

Aug 26, 2011

I am trying to make text bullets in Flash CS 5.5, and I noticed there is no way to do that using the text options in Flash, so I decided, I would just make a small circle shape, and place it where I needed. However, even though I place the shape in front of the text I want it to be in front of, when I test the movie, for some reason this shape, gets moved down about 5 pixels or so. (or the text is moving) I am using classic text.

Is there any reason for this shifting around?

And/or is there a way to just create text bullets in Flash?

Flash :: Make A Bulleted List In Custom Bullets?

Nov 20, 2009

Is there a way to make a bulleted list in flash with custom bullets? If so, can this be used from within a TextArea in Flex (mx.controls.TextArea) when setting htmlText?

For example:
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>

The list above will render fine when set into a TextArea using htmlText (versus just setting the text property). The rendered text will have standard vanilla bullets. Is there a way to style these bullets with custom images, like you can in standard HTML/CSS?

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Deleting The Players Bullets Correctly

Feb 13, 2010

We're running into the problem of deleting the players bullets correctly. The problem consists of 3 objects: conRoom [which is the controlling object of the room that, for example, creates ticks] player [which is what you control] bullets [which is what we're trying to delete] The way we've got it set up is that the player creates a bullet for the conRoom via "conRoom.addChild(bullet)." The bullet is fed a reference to both conRoom and player. In addition, the bullet passes a reference to a conRoom array via "conRoom.objectsArray.push(this)"

Then, when the bullet hits an enemy, we need it to be deleted. The way that we thought we had figured it out was by calling the conRoom function killAThing passing "this" as an argument:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movable Turret Firing Duplicated Bullets?

Aug 11, 2004

I know there's all these posts on how to use For... loops to hittest, but no matter how hard I try, they just don't work. So, after hours of hair tearing, paceing and starting a new game I've decided to bother you all for help.

My situation is that in the game I'm making, I have a movable turret firing duplicated bullets. I need to hittest them against a duplicated set of oncoming robots. I've tried using a for loop, but I just can't get it to work.

I've attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller
