There's only room for three lines of text in the interface, but the content is external and variable, and if it ends up taking up more than three lines, there needs to be some sort of 'view all' button functionality. I can kind of think about what that function needs to look like, but I'm not quite sure what the best way to do it in AS3 would be. Something like (in pseudo code):

Does anyone know a way to crop a SWF like you would crop an image in Photoshop? I'm building a Flash Banners application in my Flash portfolio website and I'm loading a SWF using addChild via a URL loader object. There is no way to mask the outsides of the SWF because addChild puts the SWF at the front of the display list so the masks would just show up anyway and the masks will just be huge white sheets that will look dreadful. I need to LITERALLY crop the SWF down to 550 X 325 pixels.

The stage width is 300px. I have the TextField for Question, wrapped set to true, so that if the Question is long it will continue to second line.Now the problem is i need to show options as radio buttons, say 10px below, where the question ends. But since i don't know the question consisted of two lines or one line, it becomes difficult for me to place the radio buttons programatically.How do i get the number of lines for a text field?

How to detect the no of lines in dynamic of input textfield at runtime in as3 if wordwrap is set to true
View 1 RepliesI have an automatically generated TextField, that is fixed in its width. To show it in its full heights and not to have the scrollmode active I want to read out an attribute that contains the value of the summed up height of the single lines. Then I want to set the TextField.height to this value, to see the full text at once. Does such an attribute exist in the TextField-Class or do I habe to sum up the height of the single lines by multiplying TextField.numLines * TextField.getLineMetrics().height?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to limit the number of lines people can enter in an input textfield. I tried stuff with maxScroll, but that doesn't check if people press enter, so i end up with too many lines of text. I then looked at maxChars, but it's no use either, because users can still enter as many lines as they want.Is there no way you can combine maxChars and maxScroll? there also is "textfield.onScroller" which checks if the textfield is being scrolled. Can't i use an eventhandler based on onScroller? Like:[code]this results in people not being able to edit messages anymore after they reach the end of the textfield.I have no idea how to limit the number of lines in an input textfield. Anyone?

View 4 RepliesI have a textfield that acts as a log in that it routinely gets messages added to it. I want to limit the number of lines the textfield can display - that is, if the textfield exceeds a certain amount of lines, the oldest lines that were added are removed and the rest of the lines of text are shifted up. Basically I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this, as my technique seems inefficient:
Code:
const MAX_LOG_LINES:int = 50;
// assuming parameter message is a string that ends in to add a line break.
function addText(message:String):void

I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?
Is there a way to hide partially shown text lines on a dynamic textfield that has more text than its size can hold? I want to avoid the situation found on the picture below by simply not showing the areas in red (the text comes from lots of sources, so I don't have control over it).
View 2 Repliesit is possible to change text styles of single words or lines within a textfield with actionscript. I use an empty textfield and add my text to that field in actionscript with the following code:
myTfield.text = "insert text here"
the text contains multiple lines and I want some of them to be bold, italic or a bigger font size. The reason why I am adding my text to my textfield this way is because I need the text in the textfield to change when some buttons are pressed. Text will be added or removed from the textfield if buttons are pressed by the user and the current way I'm changing the text is by simply re-using the code above with new text in it. (it makes the code quite long though, but I guess I'll have to deal with that)But because I'm adding text this way I am not sure how to change the style of different parts of the text.
On a related note, with CS5 there are now a number of options for textfields. There is TLF text and classic text. I've searched around for the differences but I don't find the awnsers very clear. What option should I use for my textfield if I want it to look sharp like the text I'm typing here (its just regular text, no headers or anything). Some options just give blurry text because of the anti-alias and some settings don't seem to change a thing. And at times embedding fonts looks nice but sometimes it makes it worse. There are so many options to choose from, but it is unclear what would work best for regular text. (my text won't animate, it does move with a scrollbar, but I only care about how it looks when the scrollbar is still)
is there a way to limit the user from entering more than lets say 4 lines in an input textfield?

Set variable as numbers

Attempts to assign numbers typed into textfields to numeric variables causes errors.

I just discovered something funny I'd like to share with you. I'm making a background mc resize when a textfield gets input. In other words: the paper gets extended when you write close to its edge.The funny thing is that when I register a text input change and trace the content of the textfield, it doesn't show the new input yet. It's always one key behind

I am working on a listbox(flash component), where upon click, will display other arrays in a movie( which is also a listbox made from textfield). The second listbox suppose to contain html links, where it will open up a popup upon clicked. The problem is that whenever I click on the listbox, the content in the sub listbox doesn't change. that is, it doesn't empty the previous load of links, but just add on to the list of links. I am not sure what I can use to prevent this issue. I have tried listener, and "if else" statements.. I've include the codes for the 2nd listbox (the textfield listbox).
Code:
var ListListen:Object = new Object();
ListListen.change = function(pEvent:Object) {
var selectItem:Object = pEvent.target.selectedItem;
var b :Object = pEvent.target.selectedIndex;
