i've assigned properties to a NumberFormatter object so that formatted values contain a leading zero, trailing zeros and a 2 decimal places.
the formatting works unless the number being formatted is 0. how can i format a 0 with the set properties so that 0 becomes 0.00?
var numFormat:NumberFormatter = new NumberFormatter(LocaleID.DEFAULT);
numFormat.leadingZero = true;
numFormat.trailingZeros = true;

I want to format a number with the '+' or '-' sign attached to it. When i tried with the useNegativeSign=true, it gave only '-' sign. I want like this : +13%, -12%
View 1 RepliesI need to write a method doing a formatting of numeric value given a pattern as one of the parameter, in actionscript.
For example:
a. 12345.00 using format pattern ###,###.## resulting 12,345.00
b. 12345.00 using format pattern ##,##,##.## resulting 1,23,45.00
Initially, I thought that NumberFormatter able to do that, but after reading documentation, it seems you are not able to accept pattern.
how to implement this ? I'm using Flex 4.1
UPDATE: I made an advanced formatter based on the sample created by Jason. You can download it here : link
I must display very small values (capacitor) in a Flex-AdvancedDataGrid I use spark.formatters.NumberFormatter. If I use 3, 6 or 9 for fractionalDigits, everything is fine.
But if I use 12, because I need 12 digits after decimal separator, then the value is cut after 9 digits!
Is there a way to get more then 9 digits after separator.
Or is there a way to use a formatting like "4.7 E-12" (Must be E-9, E-12, E-15 and so on)
how to combine images within SWF as external files and using XML to load as fast as possible all images? Banner is quite big... I have received some reply that I I need to work inside the .fla, not the swf to create an array, using the xml data as elements of the array. Is this true or there are samples within Koolmoves or steps?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a system to let customers write a small comment.I'm using a xml file to load the comments, but somehow something goes wrong when I try to give it some special formatting.Here is my as3 code:
Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Graphics;[code]....
Now as you can see in the xml the 1st message is without any formatting, the 2nd and 3rd are. In the attached comment.jpg you can see what the result is. I can't figure out where the "enter" and those extra "spaces" are coming from but I suspect it's from the 'font' tags.btw. those red background are just the textField backgrounds to show where the text should start.
I am working on a project where I have made a Text Formatter by which I can format the text of three input text field.My formatter works fine, but the problem is that when I format the first text field it works good, but in the second or third textfield I have to press the formatting button twice for each format option (such as bold , italic or alignment).Another problem is that when I reopen the formatter it format the text field with last option I have used.

I'm trying to preserve header/body formatting within a single textfield. For some reason, this...
Code:
var headerFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
headerFormat.color = 0xF5ECDD;
headerFormat.size = 40;
[Code].....
Is resulting in the whole textfield being formatted according to bodyFormat. If I comment out the last line (so I never append the second line of text, but leave the second setNewTextFormat call intact), the first line appears with proper headerFormat formatting.
how setNewTextFormat works? I thought it was only supposed to format new text being added.

View 2 RepliesI (well, a rather angry client) found an oddity I would like to consider a bug in formatting htmlText coming fom XML's toString() method with css.
If somehow an empty tag ends up in XML like <h1></h1>, all of the following text in the field is formatted to the CSS defined props of h1. In the (simplified DocumentClass) code below I have an XML object which has an empty h1-tag after the first sentence of the first paragraph. Placing the XML it in the field renders the text following the empty tag as bold and with the fontsize set for h1.
Strangely, if the html source is initialized as a string and put straight in the textField (see commented code), all formatting is OK.
I'm trying to format an XML file so I can have HTML tags on it for bold, italic, underline, etc... but its not working. When I'm not using any HTML tags my subtitle works great but when I put the tags the player reads the time tag not the sutitle!!

i am not too familiar with css or html but studied up on css and based on all of the searching i did i am not able to find out what i am doing wrong here. do i need to set the xml with standard html language/nodes?
I've imported an external XML file that includes both image and text elements into a textfield, and now I want to format the elements with an external CSS.I've had only limited success. Images appear below the text, instead of inline or aligned Left or Right, Flash ignores DIV or SPAN styles, etc.I don't know if I'm overestimating flash's abilities to render styles.I've attached a zip with the fla and all external scripts, as well as an html of what I'd like the end result to look like.

I've been experiencing a supposed fault with CS3's autoformatting.It completely ignores my selected option of putting spaces around operators, and when assigning variables a class:
Code:
var theText = new TextField ();
it turns it into
Code:
var theText=new TextField ;
erasing the parenthesis... this is definitely not normal.When I delete the spaces that it creates, then autoformat it, it recreates the two spaces...
this is my xml row and i wish to apply html formatting to info parameter at the end of line.

I am populating the text of text fields with data from an XML file. I would like to do two things.
The code looks like this:
PHP Code:
DSGbox.textFirstName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.first; DSGbox.textLastName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.last;
First, I would like to format the text... bold, font size, etc...Second, I would like to concatenate the first and last name to appear on the same line without space in between caused by two text fields. I tried the following, but it didn't work.
PHP Code:
DSGbox.textFirstName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.first + xmlDSG.name.last;

View 13 RepliesI need now is, to load it and format certain parts of it automatically.For example, I have a blog with lots of posts, and the posts are:
---------begin-------
TITLE
DATE
Content
----------end--------
And so, I need the title and the date to be one font, with different colors between them, and the content is another font, on a third color.I have to do this because I've been putting the posts directly inside flash, and they got so long after a while, that I can't have all of them on my screen at any one time, they exceeded flash's height limit...so, to edit the older ones, I need to keep scrolling everything up, which is a pain.
The CDATA is working for me, but it will not show certain HTML tags, such as
<ul><ul><li>
and
<up>
<ul><li> is fine, but if I do another level, second levels are on the first level.

View 5 RepliesWhy is the following not working to set my text style?
private function createTF():void

I have a screen in a Flash window with four TextFields(just regular text, no html formatting).If I tab from one TextField to the next, select all the text (using keyboard command), and then start typing, the text formatting is removed.
This does not happen if I click into the TextField before tabbing into it.Even clicking into a TextField, placing the insertion point at the begging of the text, selecting via keyboard, and typing does not reproduce the effect.I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the TextField receiving focus, but am not sure how to work around it as there is no restricted order to type into TextFields.
I'm running into issues with using HTML formatting for a dymanic text field. I know these are quirky and I cannot figure out how to get the formatting proper.I have on my stage a dynamic text box called "content_txt" inside of a movie clip instance "content_mc". When it enters the frame, I fade the "content_mc" from alpha 0 to 100 using a timeline animation. In order for this to work, I have to embed the font in my "content_txt" text field. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed the font.
The dymanic text field is set to render as HTML. In my actions layer, I set the text:
this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."
In summary: 1. If I do not embed the font, the alpha fade does not work but the HTML formatting does.
2. If I embed the font, the alpha fade works but the HTML formatting does not.
How do I resolve this? It's driving me nuts!
I am using CS5, AS3 and the scrollbar component as well as dynamic text from an XML file. I can format the text (color) in my XML that IS NOT being pulled into the scrollbar text. However, I have had no success formatting anything that is to scroll.
I have tried with and without CDDATA tags and nothing works. Is this allowed?
