ActionScript 2.0 :: Make The Spacebar Display A Different Character?
Nov 11, 2008I am making a simple word processing widget, like this one: [URL] for my kindergarten classroom.
The problem is that the embedded font does not use a lined space when you hit the space bar. It makes a space. The lined space is created by hitting the "" key --just above enter. I have been trying to use a key listener to add the lined space to the text box when you hit the space bar. It works, only it also gives you the "space" created by the space bar.
Basically, on the stage is an input text box (myTextbox) with the font embedded. Here is my script:
Code:
stop();
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
makeSpace = function() {;
[Code]....
Is there a way to remove the space from the text before adding the lined space?

Mar 9, 2010I can't seem to get the Copyright symbol to display with Myriad Pro. The font embeds properly and displays fine, just the � symbol won't show up. I've tried:
- Embedding an swf with the font embedded in it with the '�' set to be included, when I export it the symbol is there.
- Embedding the otf file for the typeface.
- Tried embedding other typefaces otf files.
Actionscript Code:
FontEmbed.as: [Embed(source='fonts/myriad/MyriadPro-Semibold.otf', fontWeight='semibold', fontFamily = "Myriad Pro", mimeType='application/x-font')]public static var MyriadSemibold:Class; public function FontEmbed(){ Font.registerFont(MyriadSemibold);} public static var MYRIAD_SEMIBOLD:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Myriad Pro Semibold", 24, 0x000000,

I get the full line of text, so it seems like it's an embedding issue.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Display/Swap Symbol While Staying On The Same Frame?
Jul 12, 2010I am making flash segments for one of my professors for online teaching and the way he has his server set up, whenever there are interactive segments, the segments are done on one frame. Right now I am trying to make an interactive segment where you click on input variables to an AND gate (in circuitry) to change the input from 0 and 1, and then based on these inputs it will show the output.
Basically I want to start out by having them all display ?'s, and then if you click on the ? it turns into a 1 and then clicking again goes to a 0 and 1 and 0 etc. How can I either change what these buttons look like or how can I change the buttons to go from the ? button to the 1 button while all staying on one frame? I am very very new to actionscript (I know how to AddEvent Listener, etc, I just need to know what to write for my function)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Error 5000: The Class 'Particle' Must Subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' Since It Is Linked To A Library Symbol Of That Type
Jun 7, 2009Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.
Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC). I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.
I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fla file.
In Particle.as I have the following code:
package{ import flash.display.*; public class Particle extends MovieClip { public xVelocity:Number; public yVelocity:Number; public function Particle() { xVelocity = 0; yVelocity = 0; } public function update():void { this.x += xVelocity; this.y += yVelocity; } }}
So I'm declaring that all particles are built with no motion, but if they are explicitly granted an x or y velocity, they will move by that much when the instance's update function is called in the timeline.
Then in my Spark Test.fla file, I have a small shape in a MovieClip called Spark. In the Linkage properties of Spark I have chosen to Export for ActionScript and Export in FIrst Frame. The class is called Spark and the Base class is Particle. For testing purposes I've dropped an instance on the stage and called it spark. Then in the actions layer in the first frame (the timeline is just the spark layer and the actions layer, one frame long each with no "stop();" so it should run forever) I have included the following code:
spark.xVelocity = 5;spark.yVelocity = -1;
function updateSpark(event:Event):void{ spark.update();}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateSpark);
What it looks like this should do is on each ENTER_FRAME Flash should call updateSpark which is a function that runs the update() event for the spark instance which is a instance of a movieclip that has an update event which moves x and y position by their relative velocity variables. This all seems pretty straightforward to me, but when I ctrl-Enter to test the movie, I get the following 3 compiler errors:
Particle.as Line 1: 5000: The class 'Particle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Particle.as Line 7: 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not xVelocity.

on(release){

View 11 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Library Symbol Extend Another Library Symbol / Assuming Each Are Linked To Class?
Dec 9, 2010Library symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.
