Professional :: Way Of Resizing A Dynamic Text Box Without The Type Changing Size?
Apr 1, 2010
I want to use the UI Text Scroll component on a text box. When I make the initial text box,it is the normal 1 line in depth, based on the font size. When I paste the type into the box it gets very long, which is fine, but when I try to make the text box smaller using the transform tool so that I can make it fit the movie, it makes the type smaller as well. Is there a way to change the height of the box, without it effecting the text inside?

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;

I am using a downloaded script and it is helping me out tremendously. After a little manipultion it is doing wonders for my intended project. The script yields a nunber into a dynamic text field that I would like to enlarge. In other words, make the font larger. I changed the size of the text field but the font size didn't change.Here's my script:
stop();
if (!initialized){
memory = 0;[code]...........

I have a dynamic text box that is being populated by this line of code:
feedback.htmlText = myQuestion[counter]+"<br>You:<br>> "+myFoil[counter][userAnswer]+"<br>Chris:<br>> "+fbCorrect[counter];

I am at work right now trying to create a power point for our Christmas party. I know I can do so much more with Flash than I can with any other power point program. Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to load a list of names into one dynamic text field that changes at certain time intervals. I'm using ActionScript 2 right now b/c I haven't learned 3, yet. Is there a way for Flash to access a word document and load a name say, every minute? I know I could add a different variable name in front of each employee name, like content, content1, content2, but I have a list of like 300 names here. That would take up almost as much time as it would creating a slide for each name in Power Point.

I have a dynamic text box in which I am embedding an image. Here is the code that fills in the text box
infoBox.informationText.htmlText=
"<font size='16' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerIndex+
"
<font size='14' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerDate+
[Code]....
How can a set the image size in the above code. I've tried inserting width and height parameters just after the image's path but an error is thrown. I would like for the image's width to be as wide as the dynmic text infoBox.informationText
Also the path to each image equals a variable called calledMarkerContent How could I set the img src equal to the variable called calledMarkerContent?

I'm using evt.target.borderColor = 0xff00000 to successfully change the color of a dynamic text filed that is the target Now I'm trying to change the border size. borderSize isn't being accepted, so I was wondering if there is an attribute to change the border size of a text field? My internet searches are coming up with nothing that works.

As part of my flash design, I want to have some tweening text. At the beginning of the tween, the height of the text needs to be distorted ('too tall'), and at the end of the tween, the text will have settled into its correct height. However, when I try to scale the text in the first keyframe of the tween, the font size changes along with the text field height. Normally, I could just make the text into an image, but this needs to be a dynamic text field. Is there no way to scale the height of the text field and distorting the text height without changing the font size?

I have some text pulled in from a db via cfm and remoted into flash - I'm trying to figure out a way to determine if whether or not a given string requires the vertical space of a multiline text box.Visually, two lines take up more space than a single line and when the string only takes up a single line, the second (empty) line creates to much whitespace and has everything below it too far away from that initial single line. When the string can fill both lines, it doesn't look bad at all - so, ultimately, I'm trying to get that whitespace gone.

I would like to export it at a smaller size, so I go to Publish Settings and I notice I can change the width and height. How can I do this while maintaing its proportions? It is currently 791 x 275.

Ok, got a problem that's driving me up the wall. I have 3 objects: tab, tabShadow, (both movieClips) and menuText (a dynamic text field), all of which are themselves contained in a movieClip. What I'm trying to do is have tab & tabShadow resize based on how big the dynamic text field (menuText) is, and then align everything. The ultimate idea is to create a dynamic menu based on XML.
The problem though is that a) the textfield won't resize even if the amount of text fed it is too big, and b) because of (a), the movieClips won't resize based on the textfield. I also can't figure out a good way to align them (just making the ._x / ._y values equal puts the textfield way outside the other movieClips).
Here's the actionscript code, and I've attached a copy of the .fla (done is CS4, but saved in CS3 mode) just in case it's a matter of the centerpoint being off or something. This is all in the container movieClip.

I have completed a simple contact form using Flash CS5 and AS2. Instead of having headings such as "your email", "subject" and "message" outside each text field, they are contained inside each relevant text field and are made up of input text. I would like to do two things: To have the initial text (ie. "Subject") in a smaller size and heavier weight than the subsequent text typed in by the user. I would also like the initial text (ie. "Subject") to disappear as soon as the user starts to type in the same box.

I 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.

I need to change the stage size dynamically. When I try to do this?
size_mc.onRelease = function(){
trace(Stage.height);
Stage.height += 100;
trace(Stage.height);}
It comes always the current stage size.

The text shows up, but it needs to display bigger than it is. It's showing up consistently at about size 10, no matter what I set the size to, even "size = 100" .
public function StimLetter(data:Object) {
// format
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "Verdana";

My Text Format is not changing colour or size, despite me telling it to do so with the following code. it displays the number of steps taken (a number called Steps) to complete the level in my flash game.
ActionScript Code:
var myFont:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
myFont.font = "Ariel";
myFont.color = 0xCCCCCC;
[Code]....
It displays the box the correct size (height and width), position and number inside, but the text font is still black and small size.

FYI: I'm following the Flash Blogger tutorials listed on [URL] with Flash 8. I've noticed that everything works wonderfully as far as bringing the blog content into the dynamic text field; however, my only problem at the moment is Blogger will automatically resize my images, so it doesn't mess up the current template in html, but of course, Flash does not (out of the box).
I need a way to define the width & height of the images in the text field to fit inside the dynamic text field they're in. As far as I can tell, the tutorials listed on that site use an alternate method and don't actually resize them. Lastly, I thought about using CSS to adjust the img size, but from what I gather there are very few items at my disposal.

I have a button with variable-length of label text. I have a User Setting that can turn on or off the label text on this button.
How can I implement this?
NOTE: the button's background has a gradient color.
I tried using BlendMode.LAYER, no luck;
I tried using Button.resizeHandler
private function resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
{
if (event.oldWidth > this.width)
[Code]....
but it only worked if the initial UserSetting value is true.
How about embedded font? I don't know how to apply it to button

When 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.

Users can write a text, modify it (in type, color and size) and choose a picture (which is loaded through a XML-file) for an e-card, then send it to whomever they want. But when they have made the modifications, how do I save the card, and then store it in a database?

I'm using the following code to resize user input text when it gets too long for the textfield. The resizing seems to work fine but when it resizes it it becomes left aligned and is outside the textfield. I only see the end of the text. It's as though it's centering to the cursor instead of the text. If I use the arrow keys to back up the text it snaps into the center of the textfield like it should have been from the start.[code]
