Actionscript 3 :: Change The Content Of A Regular Text Field Created With The Text Tool In Adobe Flash CS5?
Nov 21, 2010I have made a movie clip which I export to ActionScript 3.
In this movie clip I have drawn a text field (area? well TEXT) using the plain "Text Tool".
After selecting the text, and after I have entered "0" to be displayed, I edit its properties. It's Instance Name, defined at the very top of the list I have written "score". The text engine is TLF Text and the text type "Read only".
When I have made a instance of the movie clip using AS3 I can't get the value of the text instance named "score" - when calling something like trace(getChildByName("score")) in the constructor I just get null.
I want to be able to get the value of the text "score", and I would also like to change its value.
Just how do I get the value from ActionScript? I don't want to have to create the text progamatically and position it, and I doubt that I have to.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Text From Text Tool Looks "richer" Than Text From Code?
Oct 1, 2010The textfield on top is made from code, left is without bold and right is with bold
PHP Code:
var tform:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("Comic Sans MS", 12, 0xFFCC00);
var tf:TextField = new TextField ();
tf.defaultTextFormat = tform;
[code]...
The textfield on the bottom is made from the text tool in the IDE, left is regular and right is bold.This is all the properties of that textfield.How do I make the top text look like the bottom text? I think the bottom one looks nicer than the top.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The AlivePDF Library To Export Text From A Text Editor Created Into A PDF?
Jun 9, 2011I'm trying to use the AlivePDF library to export text from a text editor created in AS3 into a PDF. Can anyone link me to documentation or a tutorial that can help teach me how to integrate it into a normal AS3 file? I have no idea how to use the library and the only documentation I've seen for it is how to use it in Flex/Air, which is not what I'm looking for.

Dec 1, 2006I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.

I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text In Dynamically Created Text Fields By Timer?
Jun 14, 2009I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

Professional :: Created A Motion Preset Of A 3D Text Animation That Made The Text Swing Back And Forth
Jun 25, 2011I created a motion preset of a 3D text animation that made the text swing back and forth like a gate with the hinge on the far left side. However, when I apply the motion preset to other text, the text moves to a new location and the text swings closer to the center than the far left side. Moving the text only creates a travel path that further complicates matters.
what am I doing wrong with the motion preset? How can I save something into a preset and apply it to other things and have the animation work the way it was designed?

IDE :: Text Tool Panel Gets Stuck?
Jan 26, 2009I purchased Flash CS4 (Adobe probably laughed at me, saying "SUUUCCKKKERR"). I'm having a serious problem with some of the panels randomly freezing. Mainly, when I edit ANY text on the stage, or in a movieclip, the text tool panel will freeze up the properties, and I cannot bring up any other object's properties. I have to CLOSE Flash CS4 completely. I've tried to simply close the project, then reopen it, but the text panel gets stuck on EVERY project I open, until I completely close down Flash CS4.
I cannot find any solutions to this problem through Adobe, and apparently Adobe doesn't provide support to me because I purchased Flash CS4 from a reseller..... (NICE).
Needless to say, I knew Flash would go downhill the second that Adobe bought out Macromedia. Adobe basically takes something really well made, cuts it up and bloats it out to create something almost unuseable. Sound familiar? (*cough microsoft)
Professional :: Get The Selection Tool To Select The Text?
Jan 23, 2010This is the most frustrating program ever. No where can I find an answer. I've tried everything I've read on how to change text but I can never get the selection tool to select the text. Some say use the T tool but all that does is create a new white box over top of it to type new text in
The layer isn't locked and the closest I can get is a blue box around the button. Well it's not a button and in the library the icon is a movie clip. Its also in my "bitmaps" folder as and image? (tree icon) Does that matter? I'm begining to think this is a whole image?

Aug 2, 2009I downloaded an image from the web and brought it into Flash. I then created a new layer and began tracing over the image with the pen tool.

Modifying Text Created In The Flash GUI
Jan 22, 2010I'm trying to build a schedule with Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0 for an Internet radio station. I'd like to have a .swf that I can open, drag and drop a text symbol from the Library (ideally, for design reasons), and then change the color of the text with Actionscript when the user presses a button.
I can change the color of text if I create it with Actionscript, of course, but I'm not sure how to use Actionscript to change the color of text I've created in the Flash GUI. I can't pass a TextField to a symbol and expect Flash to know what to do with it, can I?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Created Text Fields?
Mar 11, 2010I am trying to make a quiz application. I want to use classes in this project (which I am still learning how to use). I found a sample posted by a user here that I can clearly understand. The issue I am having is that actaul text for the questions is very long. So when I apply my questions it just runs the text off of the stage. How can I have the text field drop to another line so that it doenst go off of the stage? Here is the code that creates the text field (it is on an AS file).
public function QuizQuestion(theQuestion:String, theAnswer:int, ...answers) { //store the supplied arguments in the private variables: question = theQuestion; theCorrectAnswer = theAnswer; choices = answers; //create and position the textfield (question): questionField = new TextField();

Jan 8, 2008I have a slight issue with a dynamically created text field I have.
