I'm pretty new to working with components in flash and for the life of me cannot figure this out!
I'm using AS 2.0. I have a combobox component on my stage called my_combo
In the actions panel in the same frame as the combo box I have the following[code]...
When I publish the movie I get an error saying "Statement must appear with on/onClipEvent handler"
Ok, I understand that, but putting an onClipEvent handler in still doesn't work.
I have a static area that I'd like to fill completely with text regardless of whether the text is 30 characters or 2 characters. More specifically the user has to find a certain number of any given letter before moving on in the game and I'd like their progress to be displayed in this static area.
So first I tried scaling the TextField but the text inside stays the same size.
Then I tried putting the TextField inside a MovieClip, turning on autoSize, then scaling the MovieClip but that distorts the text too much because autoSize doesn't retain the original proportions of the TextField.
This makes me think that the best solution would involve dynamically changing the size of the font to fit all of the characters inside a given area.
have created a scrolling text area in flash CS3 using a dynamic text box with text inside controlled by a couple of buttons using the .scroll property to add to the scroll value on each click of a button.i am wanting to add two new buttons to decrease and increase the font size of the text within the dynamic text area, which i thought should be fairly easy. i found a .size property which could be applied to text, but i do not think i am using it in the right way. here's what i have tried to do (where 'myText' is the instance name of my dynamic text area):
on (release) {
var myFormat = myText.getTextFormat();
myFormat.size += 10;

Not really a AS3 issue, but I'm having a bunch of trouble changing the font size in a text field that pulls data from and XML file. I've changed every font size with the css file, but it doesn't result in any changes with the swf. If it's really that simple the XML and CSS are both here. Or if more is needed, here is the entire project.
View 2 RepliesI'm running CS3 and using AS2. I'm not new to Flash, but this is a new problem that suddenly just started happening.My text is displaying at the wrong size within flash, and when I export it, the text looks completely different. It's making it extremely difficult to work on my site, because any graphics I align with the text are way off when I preview the file.
I attached an image showing what I mean- notice how the green bar didn't change size, but in the preview image, the bar is way longer than the text. I have been working on this site for a while, and I had no trouble with it until today. Now all of my text in all of the files is screwed up in flash, but still looks fine in the html page.. I need to get this fixed so I can keep working on it!

View 2 RepliesWhen I set up 3 input text fields, I allow the user to change the font and size of those fields. If the user selects each one with the mouse and modifys them then no problems are seen. But if the user first changes the size and font of text field 2, then tabs to that text field and starts to change the text. The font and size properties revert back to the default.

I could re-apply the formating everytime the text field changes, but that seems like a bandaid to the problem.

View 1 RepliesI have created an animation where I have pictures and text accompanying the pictures sliding in and out. However, I want to change the font of the text across the entire animation. What is the easiest way to do this? I have found when I have tried it, (changing the font in the text box) that sometimes it throws the whole animation out for each key frame that has that text (if this makes any sense). In other words, suppose I change the font in keyframe 1, the change it at the next keyframe, sometimes the second keyframe is no longer consistent with the first, perhaps only slightly and therefore the animation can run a bit choppy as it goes from keyframe to keyframe.

I'm using Flash CS5 and AS3. I've made a form using the library's "User Interface" object and I want to change the font size for the TextInput and TextArea fields but I can't find any option in their properties to change it.
I've tried this code
var myTextFormat: TextFormat = new TextFormat();myTextFormat.size = 14;email_txt.setStyle("textFormat", myTextFormat);
even though I don't get any error while publishing, my page doesn't appear, if I remove this code the page comes back to work.

View 4 RepliesI am new to Flash and was trying to start a website for my photography business. I have an up and running version of Flash Pro CS4 with all updates. I purchased a full flash template from [URL] hoping to just open the .fla file and go to work editing. No such luck. When I click on the main.fla file, all the components seem to load in the library, however in the timeline, I only show like 9 random layers. When I run the timeline, all I get is a bunch of lines, squares, etc running on and off the stage. When I click "publish" the layers and components run fine with all the default content. The template came in a ZIP file and after extracting, I get the usual files, .fla, .html, .XML, .SWA, etc. All the components seem to be in the .fla file. What am I missing? I know there should be more layers in the timeline, but I cant find them. My troubleshooting has been to confirm that the template is good with CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. I've tried different settings to include changing the pixel size, but nothing.
