Making Text Attributes Understandable To Old School Print Designer?
Jun 23, 2009
To enter static text in Flash, the only measurement option available for the text size is points,while the measurement for"Letter Spacing" appears to be pixels (based on my own observations, can't find documentation to verify this). Can either option be changed so that both options are measuring pixels or point/em units?
For instance in InDesign, the type size is in points and the "Tracking" is 1/000th em (see comment here). Both measurements are based on the same basic unit, while Flash seems to be using two different basic units of measuring.

I have an XML which contains a field of the type:
<mytext><![CDATA[ My name is <color value="FF0000">Bill</color>. ]]></mytext>
I wonder if there is a simple methodology (using E4X methods) in order to print the inner text: "My name is Bill." in a text area and having the word "Bill" colored i.e. red.
The generalized situation is, if i can print the inner text and use XML tags to specify formatting attributes of the text per word.
Do E4X supports this type of parsing, or do I have to program my own "little" parser for this situation?

I have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.

I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]
This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c
Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.

I have 10 dynamic text fields on my stage named , xmlTxt1, xmlTxt2, xmlTxt3,,etc.
I'd like to loop through and assign a fontsize attribute from an XML file to each dynamic text box.
I'd like to use a variable , myTextField = xmlTxt, and loop through adding 1 each time to xmlTxt to access the dynamic text field names.

I am looking to have a program developed sush as the virtual designer type program.Where as I can basically upload a photo of an interior or exterior of a home and then choose different materials for the walls or siding,etc.The thing is I am not sure if flash is the program that would handle this sort of thing or if I should be looking somewhere else.There is an example available on my website NJ remodeling contractor.You will see a link to the designer app I am talking about at the top under the latest news.The only problem with this application is that it was suppose to allow me to use my own images and allow my remodeling customers to go on and make changes to their photo.This option is still unavailable so I was looking into just having the application built

I've placed this code on the root time line and it works great, however i need to print multiple MovieClips and I can't do that unless I place all of the MovieClips into one MovieClip and that's where this code stops working. This code keeps two seperate MovieClips on different layers "physically" connected while dragging one. But as soon as I place the two MovieClips into a new MovieClip "MainClip" -
_global.dragging = 0; someListener = new Object(); someListener.onMouseMove = function () { if (_global.dragging == 1) { diffx = _global.oriX_MC1 - _root.MC1._x; diffy = _global.oriY_MC1 - _root.MC1._y; _root.MC2._x = _global.oriX_MC2-diffx; _root.MC2._y =

I am a homebuilder and I would like to create an exterior visualization tool to help my clients choose thier exterior siding, roofing & brick colors. My on-staff architect can create photo-realistic renderings of our different models. The question is how would I go about substituting materials for different parts of the home. Would I start with a base model with no textures applied and then have each of the textures or colors applied? Would this be acheived using masks?

I am trying to make a print button that will print the contents of a mc...this mc basically holds a dynamically drawn floorplan which can be zoomed and panned...I want to be able to print the contents of the mc, and only what is viewable in the mc at the time of the print...so if you are zoomed in, all that prints are the actual objects visibly seen in the mc...I think it may be with the print command using bmovie but I have no idea how to assign a #b lable to the frame.

we had a school project to make a device. My partner said that we should make a computer game for our school project. I asked in another forum if it is possible to do it in less than a week. They told me flash is the best for beginners. I was thinking of making a clone of hangaroo but replace it with another animal and my country's language. Is this possible in flash? Is there noob-friendly tutorials out there that explains the basics of how to make a hangaroo style flash game?

I was trying to build an application where a designer has created content on the timeline as a sequence of key frames. Each key frame is completely different. When the application is started I choose one of the frames, move the play head to that frame and stop (using gotoAndStop). Next, by referring to symbols in the key frame by name, I use AS3 to allow drag and drop, and I also do some programmatic movement.
The problem is that when I move to a different key frame on the timeline using gotoAndStop, the symbols that were touched by AS3 in the previous frame, even if they are not referenced by the designer's key frame, show up on the stage. It is as though any DisplayObject that I touch with AS3 becomes divorced from the timeline.
how to programatically work with timeline (MovieClip) content that was manually created by a designer. This just seems like it should be a really common use case. It seems that about the only thing I can do safely with the timeline is to move the play head and respond to events (if I don't change the state of DisplayObjects in the timeline). Also, is there any good documentation on how objects get allocated and destroyed when the timeline plays?

To print images the PrintJob class must be set to "printasBitmap". If the page has text and images in the same way PrintJob needs "printasBitmap" to print the images. But this setting become text jagged, low resolution, bad quality.

Despite my better judgment I've gotten into a position where I have to print large amounts of html text from flash. By large I just mean that it may have to be broken up into multiple pages. After much frustration however I have come up with what seems to be a pretty consistent solution (described below).The one problem I'm still having is that there are sometimes images embedded in the html text and those are not printing consistently. At first I figured I just needed to add in a delay to give them time to load. This is kind of true. If I don't give any delay none of the images will print.
However, even with a long delay (i've tried up to 10 seconds) there are still the occasional missing images. I've checked the image paths and they display just fine on screen. It seems to have something to do with number of pages and/or scrolling issues with the text field. Images on the first page always print. If there is an image on the second page and the print job is only 2 pages, the image on the second page never seems to print. If there is an image on the second page, but the print job spans 3 or more pages then that image will print. Anyway, as you can see it's really weird am I'm just hoping someone can point me in a direction because I don't even know what else to check for.Here is the how my routine is setup
ActionScript Code:
var _printDepth:Number = 200;
var _printInterval;
