Actionscript 3 :: Detect Line Break In Input TextField
Oct 5, 2010
I want to be able to write a paragraph in a textfield, and then click and hold, or do some similar gesture, and have the entire paragraph selected. I'm then going to drag it (using bitmapdata or whatever) to another textfield.
In order to do this, I need to be able to detect where a given paragraph ends. So I'm trying to do that with the following code, which searches for " " in the text.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....

I've created a multiline Input TextField in Flash CS4 IDE, and when I publish and click on it the text cursor jumps down to the second line. In the Flash IDE there is no line-break, but somehow it gets inserted before it's ever interacted with at runtime. I've tried all sorts of random TextField settings but every time when I render the SWF, the input has a line-break. Anybody ever dealt with this? How do I get the TextField to just be empty on start??

I have this information that is pulled in from a PHP database and displayed in a textfield within flash which works fine BUT when I go to copy and paste that text into another textfield (a note facility) it then means I can't make a line break. I've tried all sorts with the text field and can't see any reason why it wouldn't allow it. Is there something about different text formats that mucks it up?

The textfields in flash automatically line break the second part of a hyphenated word. Is there a property to make the hyphen read as a regular character and treat the whole word as one and not line break at the hyphen?EX: Current text-field behavior:Buy all of the teacher-approved supplies.

I need to send the contents of an input textfield by GET to a php script. The problem is the input must be multiline, but cannot allow line breaks orelse it messes up the GET query. Is there anyway for me to replace the line breaks with a html encoded line break (I tried restricting the textfield to specific characters, but the return still caused line breaks)?

in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.

When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

if (txt_email.text == "") {
trace("1: Please fill in your email");
}
if (txt_email.text != ""){
trace("2: Email filled successfully");
}
No matter you leave the textfield empty or with words filled up, it still display the second result.

EDIT2: Ok Both problems solved since I just found out how to randomize the array It took me three days to solve these problems lol At the third day I posted here but I got with the solutions by myself EDIT: lol ok Silly me.. I've just found out how to do that... Just adding a n in the answer texts solves this issue... I feel silly now =P ... However, I got another doubt, since I need to randomize the questions... Let's say I'd need 20 questions in total (with its respective answers). From those, I only need 10 to show... Ok, no problem here. The thing is, from those 20 possible questions, I need any 10 to appear randomly. I still can't found out how to randomize the items inside an array.
