I'm trying to use jsfl to change text of all the tlfText in my fla file.
[Code]....
Apparently TLF Text doesn't support setTextString. How can I change the text of TLF text fields?
How can I set/change the text of tlf Text Field using jsfl. Apparently .setTextString() only works for classic text fields.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to execute a jsfl function from a jsfl file instead of a full string with MMExecute? And above of that how can i change the base class with jsfl? i created a panel to create certain displayobjects but i really need to change the base class instead of the normal class name.
View 1 RepliesI used classic text before and this code works.
var myFormat:TextFormat = dtb.getTextFormat();
while(dtb.textWidth>=dtb.width)
{
myFormat.size = int(myFormat.size) - 1;
dtb.setTextFormat(myFormat);
[code]....
but I need to switch the text boxes over to TLFText because we are going multi-language, and this function no longer works, I have no idea how to do the same thing with TLFText?
So a major problem I have been having is that I run CS4 on my laptop, but the people i work with run CS3 and its quite a nuisance to have to constantly remember to save the file as CS3 every time i want to save. Does anyone have any quick-fix ideas that don't involve forcing my coworkers to buy CS4 or me downgrading?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to run a JSFL script from within a C# project, where the JSFL script opens up a .fla file, modifies it n times, and exports n .swf files before closing. From the C# project, I am starting up the JSFL script through the Process class. I try to wait for the JSFL process to finish through the myProcess.WaitForExit() command, but it doesn't work. The remainder of my code C# executes before the JSFL process finishes exporting its .swf files. Is there any way I can throw something that the C# project can catch from the JSFL file or some other solution?
View 2 RepliesI have just a simple code
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tlf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlf.x = 20;
tlf.y = 20;
tlf.width = 400;[code]....
and want the link underline to be removed and in best case format the line.
I need basically a way to convert a group of selected text in movieclips separately with Flash commands. For example, I know to select just text items in the stage is:
var theSelectionArray = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection;
for(var i = 0; i < theSelectionArray.length; i++){
if(theSelectionArray[i].elementType == "text"){
...
}
}
And I know to convert a selection in a movieclip is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol("movie clip", theName, "top left");
So I need to know the way to loop over the stage and convert each text field in a movieclip.
So, I've got a component that changes selected text fields case to Title, Sentence, or ALL CAPS.
Below is the code for all caps.
Code:
function fnAll(e:MouseEvent):void{
var numItems:int = int(MMExecute("fl.getDocumentDOM().selection.length"));
for(var i:int = 0; i < numItems; i++){

If you open a file, change the text case, then save it without doing anything else: It doesn't save the changes made with this control. If you change the case, then alter the file using the IDE (cut/paste the text, shift it, draw something and delete it, etc) THEN it saves the changes.
So it seems that the case alteration by itself is not recognized by the IDE, so it doesn't think the file changed, and doesn't actually save it.

View 14 RepliesI've developed a neat WindowSWF panel after watching Lee's demonstration video. I got everything I needed to work, but I'm having trouble getting information from my sound files. Basically I have a list of sound objects (.wav format) in my library and I want to find the duration of each file so that I can add them to existing movie clips, then add or remove frames depending on the length of the sound file on the frame. I've been pouring over the jsfl actions libraries and can't find any method to get the duration of a selected sound file.

Code: [URL] What do I want to do? I downloaded a pre-made flash intro, and all I have to do is change the text of it, but I can't find out how!
When I ctrl+enter my movie, I see as first sentence in my flash intro "Creative Expression". I want to change that to another word.
When I go to my library, I find a lot of "sprites", and one of them has different layers in a timeline. Including the text layer I guess, because when I hide this layer, the text does not show up anymore in edit-mode. When I watch in edit-mode all the text in this layer, all the text are words "Text".
BUT when I ctrl+enter, I see other words, like "Creative Expression" as text.
In the library I can also see "sprites" in the library with as content the looks of the text "Creative Expression". But instead of "Creative Expression, the word in the "sprite" is just "Text".
So what did I do: I changed the word "Text" to my word and ctrl+enter'ed but I still see "Creative Expression". BUT in edit-mode I see the correct text (my text)
When I save, and export, I still see the words "Creative Expression", eventhough I changed it to my word.
This is my first post and I'm still new to flash, but I take flash as my final task.

I have a content area with dynamic text (title and detail) that changes depending what button a user is rolling over, and i want this text to load from an external file. I have 26 buttons total, so i need 26 different titles and 26 different details to load.
I have looked around and the only solution with the loadvars technique involves creating 26 separate .txt files and loading them all in, then calling them as needed. This seems like a big waste of CPU cycles and time creating each file.
Is there an easier way to go about tackling this? Ideal would be having all the text in 1 file, and calling each identified title and detail as needed.
can any body tell me how to change the background of a movie through external text file

View 2 RepliesHow can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

I an trying to get the _root node of an FLA via JSFL. A co-worker wrote a script that uses _root via actionscript. I was trying to wrap that code into a panel. I have all the trace functionality running and everything running accept I can't seem to access the "_root". I have tried _level0, and almost everything I can think of... I am looking to have JSFL return the _root object from the current file the same way can can hand "_root" to a function. (IE: myfunction( _root ); ) here is my current attempt:
Code:
var doc = MMExecute( "fl.getDocumentDOM()._root;" );
How can Flash AS3.0 Read file text while text file still writing by C++ program ?
I have some code that I asked before + I modify some line but It can read only text file that completely writing.
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code]....
Now My task is read real time file and send xArray and yArray to another function but I don't know how can I code it.
The execution of JSFL files seems to have slowed down in Flash CS5. Or, at least, the updating of the display has been severely slowed down. I have a command I use all the time -- so much that I don't even think about it -- that worked fine in CS4 and earlier, but in CS5 it seems to execute too slowly. My command is a replacement for the "Step Forward One Frame" and "Step Backward One Frame" commands in the control menu (the "<" and ">" keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original "<" and ">" keys, and they need to run fast enough that I don't notice their execution time. They don't do that much processing at all, so it really shouldn't be a problem.
I also wrote some functions for profiling, and they indicate that the command is actually running in a reasonable amount of time (around 50ms). When I run it again immediately, though, the execution time balloons to about 300ms. Not only that, but in both cases the display takes its sweet time updating itself. It seems to wait until all activity is finished, and then updates. This means that when I execute the command repeatedly (keyboard-scrubbing the timeline) I don't get to see the current state of the stage until I stop completely and wait for it to update.
As I said before, I never had trouble with this in CS4 and earlier. So my question is: is there any way to tell Flash to update its display in a command, so that I don't have to wait for Flash to get around to it? Relatedly, is there any way to give the javascript interface a higher priority so it'll execute commands faster? keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original
