Professional :: Highlighting Text With Audio?
Aug 1, 2011
I want to use it for what seems like a fairly simple application, but I am having a terrible time finding any tutorials that address this specific need. I've been through basic "how to us Flash CS5" training but I'm having trouble making the connection between the skills taught and what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a static paragraph of text - black on a plain white background. I would like each sentence to highlight with a yellow box behind it as the audio for that sentence is read. I would like a user to be able to hear the entire passage, but also be able to click on individual sentences and hear them separately.

I'm currently trying to work out a method to highlight specific areas of text within a dynamic text field at runtime. The method I've been toying with so far has been the use of CSS highlighting, but have not seemed to have any luck thusfar. What I'm attempting to do is to illustrate, to students, sections within a passage of text pertaining to correct methods of source referencing (source in terms of bibilographical references), and so am essentially trying to change the background colour of sections of text specified at runtime.Here's some code I've thrown together to test the CSS theory:
PHP Code:
var highlightstyle = 'span.highlight { background-color:yellow }';var txt = '<p><span class="highlight">highlighted text</span> no highlighted text<span class="highl

I created a little flash header for my works website, a demo can be viewed by visiting [URL]
I noticed that if you highlight the text with your mouse multiple times really fast, the text will sometimes dissapear. whats up with that?
You have to be fast in order to initiate this bug, click and highlight and do it multiple times really fast.
They are dynamic textfields of type TextField.

this is the first time I have used flash pro.I just edited the menu and everything works perfectly except for the highlighting of the link on the current page. If im on the home page, home is correctly highlighted. However after that it skips the next button (about). So when I am on the about page the next button (events) is highlighted.

Let's see if I can lend a hand, it is urgent, I want to do is to reproduce audio, and what is being heard in the audio (voice) go see text and goes over.It should be from an xml file and if it can be animated, the better, to be easily upgradeable.

The movie I am working on has a dynamic text field which I setup and format in the constructor of the ActionScript 3.0 class code for the movie - I am working with CS3 Flash. I do not reformat the text field anywhere in the code after the constructor.The text displays in the text field perfectly as long as I do not highlight the text when running the movie.
If I highlight the text in the text box as if I were going to copy and paste, the next time text is written to the text field the font type and size changes. The only way to reset the font formatting is to restart the movie.
Is there a solution or workaround? Of course I can reformat the text everytime I write new text to the textfield, but during the course of the movie text is rewritten to the textfield many times.

I am brand new to flash and AS3, and everything else code related. I've built a simple file with text and audio. The audio is an external file, and it plays with a mouse click. Everything tests fine in flash. I also placed the file in Dreamweaver and previewed in a browser - that's working. But... I've now uploaded the file to a live site. The text shows up but it doesn't play.

By default, whenever you rollOver/mouseOver (not sure of the difference) an item in a Datagrid or a List, that item is highlighted with the component's rollOverColor.I'm just wondering if there's any way to do that programmatically. I haven't been able to find much help on the issue. For example,suppose I have two DataGrids.When I rollOver an item in the first DataGrid, I want to highlight the corresponding index in the second one as well.Basically, as if two separate cursors were rollOver'ing two separate DataGrids.

I'm trying to implement solr hit highlighting using a flex client. There are lots of examples out there to do high lighting in client side writing logic to do this, but couldn't find proper solution to tag them from back end (eg. some words<pretexttag>keyword<posttexttag>some words) so that it automatically highlight with results.

How can I make sure a menu button name appears in a different colour when it is selected and stays that colour until the user navigates to another page?Example: My menu buttons have a dark brown font. I have changed the font colour to red on the 'down' state of the button setting. This means the users clicks on a menu, e.g. Gallery and the Gallery button turns red briefly. However, it doesn't stay red which is what I want.

I have been working on a Flash touchscreen project for a year, and I'm currently trying to make it easier for users to add text half way into a message. The normal way to solve this, is to click with the "caret" and then keep typing.
I'm looking for a similiar iPhone caret. I'm currently using to find the location, but would like advice about how I could best replicate the iPhone caret hover.
Code:
testText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printCursorPosition);
function printCursorPosition(event:MouseEvent):void {
var tf:TextField = TextField(event.target);

I basically need to put audio behind my flash.It is divided into labels to create different pages and is controlled by buttons.
- Is it possible to put different MP3 audio recordings behind different labels? i.e. if the user clicks on the forward button will that audio stop and the next page's audio begin?
- How do you put audio in flash?
- Can I have an audio on/off button? And if so, how do I code it?
Am going to use Adobe sound booth to make the recordings and save as MP3s. I would have probably around 20 1-2 minute recordings.

I have a menu that is HTML/CSS. When I mouse over a menu item, I would a Flash header to change scenes accordingly.
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it?
I will be using Flash 8. I know how to animate, but I know nothing of ActionScripting. I'm a web designer, not a developer.
(I'm aware I could make the menu in Flash as well, but I personally don't care for having navigation set in a Flash .swf.)

I'm doing site menus in Flash/Action Script. Each top level menu heading is a button with a standard look and rollover/click that is highlighted. The code waits for a mouse-over and runs a function that moves the movie to a frame that displays the relevant drop down menus (with buttons) under the top level menu. When a dropdown item is clicked, the code runs a function and the appropriate URL is loaded.Everything works fine but here's my one problem (isn't there always one...?).
The top level menus always look the same on every page. It would be nice to highlight the top level button that corresponds to the page currently being displayed. For example, if the user selected About Us..History, then it would be nice to make the About Us top level button remain highlighted (over/down state) instead of reverting back to the standard look (up).1. What do you suggest as the most efficient way to do this? I know ther must be a simple way of doing it. I haven't used Flash variables but I imagine that calling the flash movie with a variable and then acting upon the value of that variable might be the way to go.2. How do I highlight a particular menu/button?Can I use code to cause it to display in over or down state instead of regular up state? Is it better to overlay a separate graphic showing the item in highlighted state?

I want to highlight the current page in my navigation.
I have the code below (duplicated for each button on the page) which changes the colour of the text in the nav when you rollover and then back when you rollout. I'd like to have the text stay on the rollover colour if it is the current page.
I've been messing around with variables and have added the bit onto the onRelease function which displays the "page" variable in a dynamic text box. This works fine, but I'm now stuck on how to use this variable, everything I've tried hasn't worked.
I can understand the principle of what I want to do as I can do it in PHP or CSS. I need some kind of conditional statement, for example (in laymans terms):
if page equals 1 then make text colour red or if page equals 2 then make text colour red and so on...
Code:
var up = "0xC5B9B3";
var over = "0xC6006F";
_root.nav.button_1.onRollOut = function() {
[Code]....
