Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4 - Highlight Keywords In A Block Of Text Using TextLine?
May 30, 2010
I have a search and results page that I would like to highlight the keywords that were searched for, in the text of the results. It was suggested that I use TextLine for this, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make it work. I started a simple, compilable dummy application and was hoping someone could give me some tips on how to continue:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

I have flex 4 and writing my own autocomplete component (based on the popupanchor) to search for different books. In the dropdown box, how can I highlight the text that matches? For instance, a user types in "ema" and the search returns "Pet Sematary"....I want to highlight the letters "ema" within "Pet Sematary"

I am using Flash Text Engine's TextBlock & TextLine to display text. However, I found that some font make TextLine calculate height incorrectly. Here is my sample code:
package users
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
[code]....
which means TextLine.textHeight, height, totalHeight, and result from getBounds give the same value, roughly 57.6 pixel So, my question is, how can I get the actual text height?Please don't tell me not to use Swansea. So far, I have tried 5-6 different fonts and only Swansea give me this problem.

I was wondering which IDE choice you flash developer use to write the code....I use Flex Builder for my AS3 only project so the code below will display nicely with coloring keywords. I wanted to know if there are better choices there...Also, does flash developer do the AS3 programming only? Do they do graphic design at all?

I've got a Flex 3 website. Unfortunately, Google Webmaster Tools lists zero keywords for my site. My site's been up for about a month. I submitted a sitemap. I've put a description and keywords metatags in the HTML wrapper.Any advise on what else I should do? Does anyone have a Flex 3 site for which Google Webmaster Tools lists keywords?

I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

I am working a flash app that will display a block of text into a dynamic text field when a checkbox is clicked on. I have been looking around for this kind of thing but to no avail. I currently have the checkbox nested within two movieclips and need it to display the block of text upon click event in a dynamic text field that is found on the main timeline in its own layer. Ideally I would like the block of text to appear where the text curser is currently in the dynamic text field. I plan to have a lot of checkboxes each containing their own block of text to display.

Is there a way in actionscript to search through a block of text and extract certain sentences for example or pieces of information that match a certain criteria. What im thinking of doing is loading in some data from an XML file and searching through to see if it contains a link and/or an URL

i have some problem with utilizing TLF, i need to parse through the text and get x and y for each character inside the textfield. This is what i have so far...
Getting every TextLine from the TextFlow:
if (textflow.flowComposer) {
for (var i:int = 0; i < textflow.flowComposer.numLines; i++) {
[code]....
This works for getting the bounding for each character but i still need some more data like what character is it and what font-size, font does it have? When doing a textLine.dump(); i think im getting this data but not the character, i get something called gid witch seems to point to the character in use but i don't know how to get exactly what character that is.

A few days ago I manage to modify a code I get from a post here. The file was from tommywizbang[URL]It works fine, but at the end I have the idea of use HTML format to load images on the text block. The idea works fine with static text, but in this code is not working and I'm not sure if it is because of the original AS2...

I am new to AS3 and trying to figure out how to do something. I want to have a block of text that displays a discrete name as one mouses over several buttons. EG: As one mouses over button 1 the text box displays the text "Button One" and goes blank on RollOut. On rolling over Button 2 that same text box displays "Button Two" etc.
I am a noob and really don't even know what tutorials to search for to do this, 'cause I don't know what to call this function.

If i open .as file (or something else) in Notepad++ and select any variable or some other text, it will highlight all of the occurences of this variable in text of this opened document. And you can quickly see where this variable have assignemnts and so on. But in Flash CS3 i can only use standard Find dialog to search throug opened .as file and it finds only one occurence, then you hit "Find Next" and you've got another. Not so comfortable. So does that feature exist in Flash CS IDE, or something similar? (i can't find that)

I want to highlight different RANGES of text with different styles. (for instance, make character 1-10 bold, 15-18 italic, etc..)
TextRange looks like the appropriate tool, but when I loop through, and create multiple TextRanges for each area/style, the resulting display only appears to show the last one.
Code:
for (var counter:Number=0; counter < testVtt.markUps.length; counter++)
{
var m:MarkUp=testVtt.markUps[counter];

I wonder how you can get text in input textfields that dissappear when you click in them to write something. Something similar to what's on [URL] I understand how you get the text there with variables but not how you make it dissappear when you highlight them.

So I thought of building a Flash CMS. The one thing i would like to know is how would one turn text that has been typed in then highlighted in a textbox and then click on a button and turn the highlighted text into a link. I know it would involve some backend scripting.

i have a highlight movieclip(just a rectangle outline that is a movieclip).
How would i go about placing the highlight mc around the text box? would i use focus_In eventListeners? and call a function that can outline a box that is the input text background?

I'm working on an auto complete Input Text field. The user starts to type the state name "Pennsylvania" and when they reach 4 letters the box auto completes. My code is as follows and works:
[Code]...
Instead of auto completing I want the "sylvania" of Pennsylvania to be added to the text box but highlighted. So if the user keeps typing the "sylvania" part will be deleted or if they press the right arrow key the "sylvania" part will be added. Similar to how Google's auto complete works.
