Multiline htmlText scrolls on drag selection of text

var css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
css.parseCSS('.red-text{font-family:"Lucida Grande";color:#ED1C24;font-size:10;font weight:bold;leading:-8;}');

If you are using Flex 3.5 (not my choice) and you scroll the mousewheel over a Text component with multiple lines of htmlText, it will scroll down 1 (sometimes 2) lines, even [URL] I made sure there is not a blank line below the body of text (it ended after the closing). Notice how the top line is now cut off, and an extra line was added at the bottom.
View 2 RepliesTrying to make a custom scroller which works but the odd thing is that when i drag the scroller to the bottom, the content scrolls the opposite way. So when the scroller is at its start point,the content is at its end point and when i scroll it to the end point the content reverses to the start point. Here is what I'm using
Code:
var scrollLower:Number = -92;
var scrollUpper:Number = 39;
var textLower:Number = -92;[code]....
How do I center text in within the border of a multiline Dynamic text field?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way I can stop a single word splitting over two lines when putting dynamic text into a fixed width, multiline text field?I have a simple method of checking if there are more lines than words and then running a while loop to reduce the font size until there are the same amount or less lines than words. But this doesnt always work, if say the final word of three is quite short and the second word splits over two lines then I still have 3 words and 3 lines.
View 3 RepliesI have a scrolling static text box which scrolls up well, however when scrolling down stops showing the text toward the end of the textfield.The textfield and textfield mask are both movie clips. I have the following code on the up and down buttons:[code]
View 10 RepliesI'm sure this is very simply but I can't seem to get the trick down. I have a simply scroller with text. Nothing dynamic, just a plain 'ol scroller. I'd like the text to fade in or out, from the top or bottom, as the user scrolls. Take a look at this site and click on The Film link. The text fades as you scroll up/down. [URL]. I've tried making the mask for my scroller into a gradient but that doesn't affect the text.
View 1 RepliesI created a comboBox(Using the one in Component/Flash). I am unable to make the texts in DropDown menu to be shown in MULTILINE. I have tried larger Row Heights and smaller texts so the issue is related to something else.
I found this piece of code searching in archive discussions "TextInput(aCb.getChildAt(1)).textField.multiline=true;"

When you want to have linebreaks in a multiline text in AS you should write this, right?
Code:
var mytext:String="This is
what
I want";
so you have a 3-line text. ok, so i have a textfield, and its content will be loaded from a xml file. in my xml i have something like this:

I have some text pulled in from a db via cfm and remoted into flash - I'm trying to figure out a way to determine if whether or not a given string requires the vertical space of a multiline text box.Visually, two lines take up more space than a single line and when the string only takes up a single line, the second (empty) line creates to much whitespace and has everything below it too far away from that initial single line. When the string can fill both lines, it doesn't look bad at all - so, ultimately, I'm trying to get that whitespace gone.
View 1 RepliesI 've got a textfield that is inside a movieclip scroller. I've got an issue though, when selecting the text, and dragging down the text moves one notch, is it possible to disable that?
Basically it does it with mouseWheel to, but I've set that on off, so it's ok.
But is it possible to disable it when selecting, too?
The text comes from an XML file, and I suppose that scroll happens because of white space on the XML. I tried disabling white space using AS3 but it doesn't seem to work.
i did a flash form for the first time.I have a multi line input text, it works fine when u type in the content.But when i hit sent, and I checked my email, the whole message is in one single line. All my other fields work fine cos they are single line input text.All my Variables are sent to my asp and then to my email.I guess my asp file did not capture the vbCrlf and convert it to <br>, am i right?

View 3 RepliesActionscript Code:
form_comments.onSetFocus = function() {if (form_comments.text == "Your comments") {form_comments.text = "";}};
my input field instance is form_comments and the default text I have in the field is "Your comments" the same code (with obvious changes) is working fine on my single line fields... just not this last one?

I have a problem with the text on them.I want the text to wrap, autosize and be multiline - ie I want the button to be a certain width and if the text is longer for a particular button the button will be higher with the text going onto the next line.The wierd thing is that it worked, I went and made a cup of tea, came back and it was not working! Maybe the cat changed my code but I cannot see where.

I am trying to create scrollable text that scrolls up/down automatically (meaning without having to continously click on the button) when either the user mouses over or clicks on the button. Currently I am using the action script:
on(release)
{
scrolltext.scroll -=1;
}

View 1 RepliesI currently have a dynamic text box loading some html text (from external source) and scrolling automatically (need it to display news for a website that will be updated weekly by the client) .... I was wondering two things:
1 - Is it possible to endlessly loop the text (currently scrolls it and stops at the end)?
2 - My main movie is at 35 fps (too fast) can you set the speed of the scroll?
here is the actions on my container movie clip (very basic)

i have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off.
How do I set the text wrap (multiline) for inputText box components?
View 3 RepliesAnyone know of a good reg exp that can do this, optimally in one go? It needs to remove whitespace at begin/end of each line, remove LFs and CRs and replace with a single space but if there's a <br> (or <br/>) at the end of the line it should not add a space. I'd need this in a JavaScript conform regexp.
View 1 RepliesI have been asked to add support to a xml based website. I have been looking into it and have realised that it is not going to be very straight forward. The text does have english phrases in when describing products being used.
After doing some research I have found that CS3 does not 'support' rtl text. I also read that CS4 has added support, is this worth looking into? I read that it was buggy.
I found FlarabySWF which does what I think I am after, but not for all the languages I need, and only at design time rather than runtime.
I also found Gchats TextBox 3.0.0 but this didn't seem to work.
I also found some solutions using CSS, but these didn't seem to work with multiline text. See this example. It also didn't work as the text I am trying to display is bi-directional ..
Actualy, importing Arabic text is not a problem, but dealing with bidirectional text of Arabic and English within the same line is a big one.
is there a way to span the text of a link button to 2 lines? so instead of "Save Page" to be in one line only, I want it to be in 2 lines.
View 1 RepliesI have a TextField with multiline and word wrap enabled, and a fixed width. I want to calculate the total height of the text inside it. I tried using TextField.textHeight, but that gives me the height of one line. Because of the wrapping, I can't easily calculate the number of lines to multiply it with the line height. TextField.height just gives me the fixed, default height of the field, 100 pixels.
View 2 RepliesDoes the TextField class support automatic vertical centering of multiline text? Any way to control vertical alignment other than "flush top"?
It seems like it ought to, but if there is a method or property in the class that turns it on, I can't find it. (Maybe a case of not being able to see the trees for the forest, there's so much junk in there, plus the TextFormat...)
I'm running into an issue where, if the dynamic text field I create wraps and autoSizes to 2 lines or more, the last disappears (sometimes partially). However, this only happens when I apply a DropShadowFilter to it. If I don't apply the drop shadow filter, it renders correctly. Note that whether or not the text renders correctly, flash seems to know that the text has wrapped and autosized, as this is how i assign the Y position of the second text field below it. See code below:
