I have a problem where i want to remove the last character from a textfield (including linebreaks) that has multiple textformats without removing the formats.[code]...
i guess this doesn't remove linebreaks, and is very slow, seems to destroy my textformats.
or:
textfield.text = textfield.text.slice(0,-1);
this is faster but removes all textformats as well.
i can create a textfield, show my percentage loaded in it, but when it hits 100%, i want to get rid of the textfield... doing all my stuff in actionscript so moving to the next frame not a possibility. unless i create the textfield in another movie..

I'm trying to apply a format (specifically, green-colored text) to specific words in a TextField. I tried the below method, checking for words in an array "commands", and it works fine apart from a few issues below (see pic).

function formatGreen(msg:TextField):void {
for (var i in commands) {

I have a set of 5 TextFields that a user enters info into. Each has the same TextFormat applied. If the focus is set by clicking with the mouse, the TextFormat is applied and all is well. If the focus is set by tabbing, the TextFormat is not applied and a default style for the font is seen. Here's my code:
Code:
var input1:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(input1)[code]...................
here is the code:
// Create new textFormat object-----
var myTF:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTF.font = "Verdana";
[Code].....
how do I address only the texField named t3 ?
Is there a way to prevent Flash from removing the applied textFormat style whenever a textField.text value is redefined?
View 5 RepliesI have very little experience with text in flash. In a dynamic text field I know I can apply a TextFormat to the entire field but can I apply different fromatting to individual workd in the field if for example I wanted to make a word or a few words of text a hyperlink within a textfield. Can I do that or would I need to use html text?

throught code i am trying to read GUI display objects. (don't ask why) My problem is that i can read individual properties of TextField object and TextFormat object, but not traverse those objects to gather all its contents at once.
See my code, individual traces are hapening ok, but those in for cicles are not, i don't get it.
Code:
if (_target.getChildAt(i) is TextField)
{
var currentTextField:TextField = _target.getChildAt(i) as TextField;

How can I apply a TextFormat to a TextField instance in a super class?
Code:
// This doesn't seem to work:

I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)

I'm looking for a way to verify that the textfield contains the "@" character somewhere in the text. It's about as simple as it gets, I just want to make sure people are typing in an address instead of jibberish. Everything I was able to find on email validation was overly complicated and I didn't understand it.

I have a textfield where a user inputs an answer to a question, then presses a button or presses the enter key to submit the answer. Code checks it, if it works good, if not, clear it out and try again.Problem is, when the answer is submitted using the Enter key and the answer is incorrect, when the TextField is cleared a carriage return is left behind. I can't figure out a way to handle this situation. Here is the codeTextField is declared:

I have a webpage which is served as UTF-8 and has the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I have an swf on the page which has some textfields on it each of which are just using arial for their font and no embedded fonts.
Now when someone types an @ into one of the textfields the " character is displayed instead, I thought this would be because my browser is set to ISO-8859-1 character encoding, but changing it UTF-8 and refreshing makes no difference.
I figured out how to get a TextField to maintain focus when the tab key is pressed (using an event listener on FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE), but what I'd like to do is control the size of the tab character in the TextField so that it is equal to five spaces. (I would just insert five spaces when the tab key is pressed, however due to requirements this is not an option.) Is this possible?

View 4 RepliesI have been searching online for an hour now and cannot find a true answer to my question. I am creating a game for the ipod and cannot figure out why I am getting this error. I am trying to remove something via hitTestObject, here is my code: default class code:
Code:

I am receiving this error whenever the hitTestObject is true and the child is removed:

how can I get this error to go away? I believe it is because I have removed the child, but the object is still being detected and trying to remove the child again. however, the child has already been removed and now I am getting an error.

sometimes when I import pngs from a Photoshop document and try to make a movieclip with them (F8 ...) Flash is just crashing.
And sometimes it gives me an error message that there is not enough memory.I think this happens when trying to put a png from a Photoshop import and a text or vector object from different layers into a MovieClip.
Today I had the memory error. And after that, flash is creating a mess in my movie. It is just duplicating alles layers in a Clip and also duplicating all labels along my timeline, when I try to work on it. I tried restart but this bug apears again.Is there a way to heal my fla so I can deliver my project soon?
