Is there anyway I can display exponents or fractions properly in a textfield.
I'm creating educational software and want to see actual symbols as opposed to: 3/4 or x^2
I am trying to use the NumericStepper component in Flex and would like to give its textField (not just the whole thing) an id but not sure how. I have already given an id to the NumericStepper itself but would like to give an id to its textInput field.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to load text into a dynamic text field, and if yes how could I do this? I've searched a few tutorials on dynamic text fields but it concentrates on scrolling. I would like unique text to load in the dynamic text field depending on which navigation button I click on.
(i.e. I click on "button1" and "blabla1" text appears in the text field. I click on "button2" and blabla2" text appears in the same text field.)
I have an for each loop that creates a new textField for each item and I need to know how you can give each textField a unique name so it can be targeted later on.Here is the relevent code:
Code:
var i:int = 1;
for each (var titleElement:XML in titleList) {

I am trying to create 6 TextFields with a loop which I have done but I can't seem to figure out the right syntax for setting the properties such as font, size, etc. in the loop. Here is my basic code:
var Tiles:Array = new Array();for (var i:Number = 1; i< 7; i++){Titles[i] = new TextField();
Titles[i].TextFormat.size = 17;}addChild(Titles[f]);}
Does anyone recall how to change the color of the text and the background box when one clicks and drags over text in an input textfield?

what are the display:blending properties of buttons, shown in properties panel.my problem is the button expands its size in most of these modes, except in darken and others, which change the color.i need my button to not change shade and to stay the size of the area i converted to a button.

I don't know if i am saying it right, but i want to take out(empty?) a display object properties.Instead of manuallyQuote:
trace(displayObject.x);
trace(displayObject.y);
trace(displayObject.width);
[code]......
As far as I know, a pixel is a pixel. You can hardly move a DisplayObject half a pixel, can you? Still the x and y properties of a DisplayObject allow values with two decimals.
A small test..
PHP Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void {
myDisplayObject.y = Number(myInputBox.text);
trace(myDisplayObject.y);
}
Shows that this happens in steps of five (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, etc.).
Values like for example 0.16 get converted to 0.15.
Also, the object moves 1 pixel as soon as it's x/y value is .2
You would expect the x and y properties to convert the given numbers to integers, no?
Does anyone know the math to create this type of spectrum?
I'm using the F8 bitmap object and this image for a color preferences panel, and would like to use the same image for a fall-back to F7.
For F8, I'm using getPixel(), for F7 I'll need to determine the color (or as close an approximation as possible) using the math used to create this type spectrum.
I have XML data that looks like this: 197,168,198,168,204,168,206,168,207,169,208,etc This stuff is XY coordinate pairs, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3, etc. and are used by a drawing function to trace out a particular freeform shape. This array of data is usually 200-400 items long.Here is the AS code that is handling the reading of the XML and the drawing of the shape. This all works wonderfully:
[code]...
I am looking at the array and grabbing some points out, namely the first and last XY pairs, which I need for something else. That's the origXexp, origYexp stuff.The real problem is that I need to run a mathematical calculation on the data in this array. While this is a little hard to explain, I need to create a variable, let's call it expert_area, and then sequentially rip through that long string of numbers and do the following math (I'll use the simple X1 Y1 example): expert_area=0 expert_area = expert_area+((X1*Y2 - X2*Y1)/2)
where we move through the long string a pair at a time. So the first calculation would be (X1*Y2 - X2*Y1), the next would be (X2*Y3 - X3*Y2), (X3*Y4 - X4*Y3), etc. I've tried building loops to get the length of the expertArray[i] and then using that as the basis to proceed through the data. But everything I try either produces no results, or gets Flash stuck in an infinite loop. I'm unsure of where to put this, and how to construct it.
Does anyone know of a parser for math functions?
Basically, I want to be able ot take a string such as:
(x + (x - 3)/2 * 4)^2
and compute the answer. Before I make the parser on my own, I thought I'd check to see if anyone has something similar already made.
I admit it. I'm a mathematical imbecile. should I be attempting this at home? Probably not without serious injury. Anyway. Anyone that has a bit of experience in games and physics who can review this code and provide insight into why there is a built in "loss" in velocity in prototype would be hugely admired.
the concept: the actor falls from the sky, at some point intersects a boundary (trampoline.y) after which gravity (in this example a value of 1.6) stops operating and a restitution factor (in this case a value of -6) takes over.
right now I'm trying to create a zero-sum situation where you have the same velocity coming out of the trampoline "bounce" (hero.y >= trampoline.y) as you did going in. That's just not the case as the traces reveal.
[Code]...
For now I'm hoping to have a solution where the velocity on the tic after the character leaves contact with the trampoline is the same (but negative) of the velocity just prior to going in. Heck I've even tried storing and retrieving the entry position and velocity, but that just looks like a hiccup.
I'm trying to create a balance beam for an education video game and am having trouble making the balance look just right.When the student slides the weight on a triple beam balance, the beam rotates from its pivot to show how far off the weight is. The student then continues adjusting it until the weight matches. My problem occurs because the length of the weight arm means the rotation values are very small, range -4 to 4 degrees, and when the student gets within a few grams it appears level.
My question is how to create a mathematical curve. Like 100 = 20, 50 = 15, 20 = 10, 1 = 4, .2 = 2, etc, so that I can have large movements towards the more accurate side and less when the weight is far off.
I've gotten stuck on some issue using AS3 and RegEx. I'm trying to use a RegEx var to match out the ends of a mathematical expressions out of a string. But for some reason, the RegEx only matches the first expression and ignores the one after the conditional.
[Code]....
I'm completely useless at maths due to paying no attention whatsoever to it in school when I was a kid so forgive my lack of knowledge of basic terminology.I need a mathematical function that will return a number based on a graph that starts at 0, curves to (eg.) 100 and then curves back down to 0. I have a feeling it has something to do with Math.sin or somesuch wizardry but am not sure.Basically, I want to feed it a number between (eg.) 0 - 60 and for it to return a number on aforementioned curve. The purpose of this is to be applied as a lateral force on some basic ball physics. The idea of the 'curve' is that (depending on timing of the shot) there will be a 'sweetspot' in the timing.
View 5 Repliesi have this code (from another thread), which was got through the support of fellow geniuses on this forum but they showed how to put this into a textfield, which is what i want to do, but they showed how to do it before I made it display just the news feeds. So when i tryed to add what they taught me to this code BAM FAIL! So im asking one more/THE LAST TIME for the support from the forum to display this.

Im making a swf that makes a Tween of 3 textFields, when i export it for flash Player 10 it works right. But as soon as i export it for Flash Player 9 or play it on a machine with Flash Player 9, everything works right except the TextField, it just doesn't display but doesn't throw any error. Even the TweenEvent gets dispatched like if it had worked right.I've been debugging it and all the variables are present and with correct values. Is there an issue of TextField or Tween compatibility with Flash Player 9??, NOTE: Currently Working with CS4

Does anyone know of an XML utility Class that will "auto-format" XML to display within a textField? Just looking for a down-n-dirty solution to display the entire XML tree (via xml.toXMLString()) within a textBox, but would love to find a utility that would format the XML so that it's easier to read within a textField.
Something like:
Code:
<forecast
segment="A"
day_segment="Afternoon"
day_of_week="4"

Is this at all possible? I'm trying to write raw XML (tags, attributes, indents and all) in a text field. The problem is that the text field is using .htmlText, for text coloring, so I cannot simply use the .text property instead. The result is that the XML tags are interpreted as HTML and subsequently only their contents are shown.

I have drawn a textfield (instance name - my_Text) onto the stage. In my actions I have a variable (called 'myFrame') which is an 'int' and the value is a number drawn from an xml feed. Now when I trace the variable 'trace(myFrame)' the correct number displays into the output window. However, when I try to display this variable, using 'myText.text = myFrame', an error occurs. How do I display this integer into a textfield?

I have a textfield (the one that shows ammo) that doesent display all numbers. U have uploaded the swf. The code that I used to make the textfiled display some text is:
ActionScript Code:
function checkAmmo(e:Event){
var percentAmmo:Number = curAmmoInClipFirst/clipSizeWep1*100;
if (curAmmoInClipFirst >= 0){
trace(curAmmoInClipFirst);
ammoLeftBar.bar.scaleY = percentAmmo/100
} else {
Char.reloadGun();
} ammoLeftBar.ammoLeftNumber.text = curAmmoInClipFirst.toString() + " / " + clipSizeWep1.toString();
}}}
Which is triggered onEnterFrame.
I am trying to display a text field that has text inside it, and display the flashing Caret at the end of the text. I have tried the following:
Code:
// ti_title is my textField
stage.focus = ti_title;
ti_title.setSelection( ti_title.length, ti_title.length );
[code]....
The field is focused because I can type into it, but I do not see a Caret until I have started typing. This is not very good for usability.
I have even tried removing text then re-adding it and then setting the selection again, but still not working.
