View 1 RepliesI have created a movie with 8 frames in and each frame uses the same template and buttons of which are in exactly the same place as the movie plays. The problem is some of the text within the buttons is appears to be slightly out of allignment but it only happens when viewing this on different computers - the laptop I have been working on does not should this, everything looks to be in perfect allignment; the movie will be viewable on the web so it needs to look good!

View 5 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3, actionscript 2 to build a site in which I would like to have a line of text animation to slide off the screen, but I'm looking for something similar to almost a 'sideways explosion'.... it will be synched to the sound of a golf club swing, and I'm look for some way to get that instant explosion, with the letters plowing through each other and away as they fade off the page....
View 3 RepliesI have created a flash website and have encountered a problem. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0.I have created a text box (at the moment it is Dynamic because I have it scrolling) with text entered into it. I want hyperlink sections of the text to other frames within the flash movie. The text box is on the "news" frame - this is a page for archived news. I want to highlight pieces of the text and create hyperlinks to each of the archived news stories (each of which is on a different frame).I know how to create buttons from text and link them to different frames, however I do not want to do this because I want to maintain the text box (with hyperlinks within the text box) so that I can make this page scrollable.I have tried highlighting the text and hyperlinking it to the frame number, to the frame name, to the frame anchor, ec..
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to cross fade between two frames using action script. I can fade a frame out with the following script but I can't figure out the cross fade part.
/* Fade Out Movie Clip
Fades out the symbol instance by decreasing its alpha property within an ENTER_FRAME event until it is invisible.
Instructions:
1. To change the speed at which the symbol instance fades out, change the 0.01 value below (valid values are in the range 0.0 - 1.0). Higher values cause faster fade out.
2. The '-=' operator is a shortcut to typing 'Spread1.alpha = Spread1.alpha - 0.1'.
3. Because the animation uses an ENTER_FRAME event, it progresses only when the playhead moves to a new frame, and the speed of the animation is also affected by the frame rate of the FLA file.
Spread1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);
Spread1.alpha = 1;
function fl_FadeSymbolOut(event:Event)

Whenever I test or publish a CS5 movie that uses TLF text (no matter which font), the .swf displays all elements but the text. There's simply nothing there. I'm on a mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.7. This only happens as soon as I pass the 1000 frame limit (before, everything displays fine). Reaching wit's end here. Anyone know what causes this, and more specifically, how to solve it?
View 1 Repliesi have a problem with the line space flash creates when a dynamic text is loaded in a dynamic text field on the stage i put a dynamic textFild with istance name "profile_text". then im loadin in it a text. my text is written in the Notepad like this
[Code]...
i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
I this file: It's Here (FLA) and it's made me completely lost. When you download it, you can clearly see my intentions, I was trying to get each text box to fade out and then another one to fade in when a button was clicked but for some reason the home text box has a little bit to much fun and keeps appearing every third time you click a button, by the way, I haven't set up the last button yet,

View 2 RepliesI am dynamically loading text into a text area. I want the text area to have set dimensions, but the text itself to resize in order to fill up the whole text area container.For example a short line of text would be made a bigger size than a large line of text but each would perfectly (or near perfectly ) fill up the same X by Y sized text area.I have seen a lot of posts about resizing the text area to comply with text, but I want to do the opposite - resize text to comply with text area.
View 4 Repliesi am a newbie flash designer. a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. it is flash 8 actionscriptfile which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to '~divisions original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~divisions original.fla. it contains divisions.xml.i discovered a problem - if you view 'divisions.swf' - when you click on 'retail visual solutions'and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is no space after the text. the end of the text aligns with the end of the scrollbar. but when you click on eyesite, and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is space after the text. the end of the text does not align with the end of the scrollbar.
my additional questions are:has the creator of the swf file used some unique scrollbar code or is this scrollbar provided in flash itself. in this case, i can read a tutorial to understand it better.i have given 'is correct - no space at bottom of text.jpg' and 'is incorrect - space at bottom of text.jpg' to further explain my query.
I have a problem with multiple listeners. Basically I have a box which displays some text and when I hit the space key additional text from the box appears. But the problem is the space key also starts the game.
I want the space key to first display the additional text then hitting the space key starts the game.
So, any ideas how I can use the space key twice without disrupting the first key press?

View 1 RepliesI have a few textfields that require characters to exactly fit (left and right). The characters are loaded dynamically and always fit whatever number of characters there's room for in the textfield. I'd like to justify the text so that the last letter in a textfield is placed right by the right border. However, it doesn't seem to work. My guess is that it's due to the lack of spaces between characters (there are no spaces whatsoever in the strings I'm importing). For this project, I will be using around 12000 textfields, so there's no way I'm going to place every character in a single textfield and position them one by one, as it would take up too much processing.
View 2 RepliesIf I create a mx:Label or mx:Text control in Flex and then set an opaqueBackground to it, I notice that there is some space around the text.
I would like to be able to get rid of that space to where the text is completely flush to the top and bottom of the label. Changing the gap, padding, and leading didn't seem to help. Is it possible to get the text completely flush to the sides of a label?
I have the following algorithm:
if(textfield has no space left / full of characters till width) do something else keep adding characters

I am encountering this problem where I need a user to enter data in a text field but I can't invalidate their input if they just enter spaces. What I mean is that right now I can alert the user to enter the data in the text field (required field in form type of situation) if they don't enter any characters but the glitch of my system is that it goes through if they just enter spaces with the space bar. QUESTION: Can I find out that the characters in my text field entered by the user are not SPACES??
