View 5 RepliesI was wondering if I can change the font style, weight, color, etc of an individual node within MM's tree component. I know you can use setStyle to change all elements, but I want to try to narrow it down to certain nodes. Also on a side note I was wondering if the tree component will render text as html.I am loading the content from an xml file.I was wondering if there is a way to have some of the nodes in the document render bold in the tree component.
Edit: I have found more info on what I would like to do and it involves the use of the CellRenderer API.
I am looking forward to customize a already built or compiled component in flash. I do not have source file. the requirement is that current component reads the xml file from physical hard drive location but i wanted to make the component recieves the xml string from other technologies like PHP etc.

View 1 RepliesFor some reason this answer really eludes me, and my googlefu fails... Is it possible to customize a seekbar component so that the handle is a simplebutton (ie up/over/down states), or would I have to write my own seekbar for this functionality?
View 0 RepliesI have a video gallery that has 24 different videos to choose from. I am trying to find a way that a user can pick from the 24 to create a new customized list of videos to play. The idea is that a sales rep could choose the videos they want to show to a client and only show those videos. Currently the only way I can think of to do it is for me to edit the xml file with only the list of videos that they want. Maybe there is a way to pick the videos from a list, press an export list button that would then save over the xml file with a new xml file that only has the videos that they selected.
View 10 RepliesI am using Flash CS5. In flash the program has a set of buttons already in a folder within the program so you can use them for your website and projects. For those that know the buttons most of them have a text that says "enter". What I have done is dragged the button to my stage and double clicked on it so I can edit it. From there I change the text from enter to something else like say "home". My problem is that when I click duplicate or make a copy of that button and go to change the text it changes the text for my first button too.
So I have my first button that says "home". My second one is going to say "pictures" but when I change the text of my second button to pictures it automatically changes the text of my first button from home to pictures. It seems that the only way I can get my buttons to work is if each button has the same exact text and if I change the text to one button it changes the text to all my buttons and makes it all the same text. How can I fix this so each button has a different text? I have a layer on my main timeline that is called buttons and all my buttons are on there. I am using these buttons for my flash website project but instead of creating them myself I used the ones flash had because I found them a bit more stylish for my taste.
We have a TextArea that is created dynamically reading in XML data with the textFormat set to Arial font as the default. When we publish it the font tag for a subscript and superscript fonts is not displaying even though we have embedded the fonts. It displays
properly if the font is installed.
Is there a way to get a TextArea to automatically scroll down when text is added to it?I have had a look around but havent found anything that works.
View 2 RepliesThe scroll policy for the textArea component appears to be "auto", and that works just fine.However, I want to be able to turn it off in certain situations, i.e., not have the scroll bar appear.I do the following which I thought would turn it off but the scroll bar still shows up.
Code Snippet:
myTF = new TextFormat("Arial", 10, 0xFFFFFF,false);
myText_mc.myTextArea.setStyle("textFormat", myTF);
myText_mc.myTextArea.verticalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
myText_mc.myTextArea.horizontalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
I am facing a problem while using textAreacomponent in Flash cs4.I set the text of this component at run time with coding i.e dynamic text and after that i am rotating this component with -2.After rotation it dosen't show the text why is it so?
View 1 RepliesI'm working in ActionScript 3 and, yet again, I'm starting to regret trying to use components as it seems I always run into a brick wall when using them : (
I have a TextArea component instantiated and added to the display list programmatically via ActionScript 3 code (not AS2, which is all I could find reference to on the net about this).
How to disable the border so it doesn't show around the TextArea component? I've tried a bunch of things, like for example:
myTextArea.setStyle("border", "false");
and
myTextArea.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");
I'm using the textArea component, but i want to scale it to the size of the browser window. The problem is it scale the content(xml+css) and the scrollbar, and i want to just change the size. I've also tried to attach the Component and then setting the size, but that give the same problem.

View 2 RepliesI have got an array full of strings and I want to populate the elements into dynamically created textarea components. I have seen "this []" syntax used to dynamically create arrays, but I can not get something similar to work for text area components.
Here is the code that I am trying:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < aActivities.length; i++) {
this["taNode_" + i] = new TextArea();
this["taNode_" + i].move(20,50 + (10*i));
this["taNode_" + i].height=26;
this["taNode_" + i].text=aActivities[i];
addChild(this["taNode_" + i]);
}
I get this message when I run my movie:
"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TextArea."
I do have an instance of a textarea in my Library as I know you have to for things like data grid.
I have a TextArea component in a flash document, and this TextArea is loading text from a .txt file.
However, when you're viewing the textarea in a webpage, you can not only select the text that has been loaded into the textarea, but you can also delete the text written there, like it's a word document or something.
Is there any way I can disable this?
TextArea component does not load after publishing as AIR .I have a TextArea component in the library. Its Class is: fl.controls.TextArea I add it to the stage using the addChild method. Running it inside the flash CS4 the textArea component gets added to the stage as intended. But after publishing, the textArea component doesn't get loaded. What may be the problem? The stage is blank without any textarea.
View 2 RepliesI am just starting to use the TextArea component in Flash CS3. How do I change the font size, style, and color of the text within the textarea? Can I also change the textarea background color from white to something else?
View 3 RepliesRight now I just have a single color as its background via
textarea.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0xe3ecca")
However, is it possible to say, create a gradient (the only way I know how to do so is with the beginGradientFill that you use while using the drawing API) as a variable and then apply that as the background to the TextArea component somehow?
With the Flex 3 SDK you simply needed to set the borderThickness style to 0, or set borderStyle to none. With the Flex 4 SDK ad the Spark theme, this has no effect.
View 5 RepliesI've a TextArea component in my MovieClip. When I double click on it, I want to switch to TextField component, allowing me to change its content. When I click outside, I want to restart its original class (TextArea).
I'm doing this, but didn't work:
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.target.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Where element is a TextArea (classic and dynamic text).
This is how my MovieClip looks. "Name" is the TextArea that I want to allow user changes. I'm setting it like this:
Nombre de instancia = Instance name (empty)
Texto clasico (classic text)
Texto dinamico (dynamic text)
The MovieClip is controlling my by own base class (called 'ConfLayer'). Inside it I have this:
public function doStuff(e:MouseEvent):void{
// element = TextArea 'Name'
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
} private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tarea:TextArea = e.target as TextArea;
var tf:TextField = tarea.TextField; // this line throwing error
tf.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Because AS3 gives me errors, I tried this:
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.target.TextField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
When I double-click on TextArea element, the previous string removes and I can't write nothing.
I'm importing text into a TextArea component and it all works fine and dandy.Though I want the textarea to not form a scrollbar but to actually just keep adjusting its height so there is never a scrollbar.I looked through all the properties and I have no idea what to test for to see if there is a scrollbar.

View 1 RepliesIn my game people shoot at 4 different moving images and get points. Simple right? Well one of the images is a question mark that people can shoot and when they do, I need flash to pause the game timer, pop up a new window, display the multiple choice question in the window and wait for the user to answer. I would also like to be able to customize the size and location of the pop up window!
Then if the question is answered correctly close window award 10 points and continue the game. If the question is answered incorrectly, say wrong and then display the end game results screen. Right now I have it to where it opens a pop up in a web browser and askes the question there. The question is randomly chosen from a file called random.html. But I do not want the game to operate that way. I want the game to open the pop up within flash.

View 2 RepliesI'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.
