i am given a rectangle of some height and width, i want to fill this rectangle with some dummy single line text. the height and width of text should be close to that of given rectangle. basically, i want the text to full occupy a given rectangular area.
eg: if rectangle height and width is 100 and 300 respectively, then the single line text height and width should be close to 100 and 300 respectively,

View 2 RepliesI'm working on an A.S 2 document that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size.At the minute I'm trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one.
Africadetails.autoSize = true;
Africaname.autoSize = true;
Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);
AfricaURL._y = (Africadetails._y) + (Africadetails._height) + (10);

I need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.

I'm a noob, so please forgive me if i'm asking something really stupid! I'm doing a group project and i've just got the code from someone else, so i can add my part.
I am trying to add text in actionscript 3 (in a actions frame) simple enough. but.i want to have words next to each other, that have different fonts, font sizes and colors. I've been googling and experimenting for most of the day and haven't really got anywhere.
I will post what i have and what i would like to do, and if someone can help me, i would be most grateful.
Here the code that i'm working with:
[Code]...
When i first got the code, all that was there, was the info.text = "Animal...... line, i added the rest and also tried adding other line of code to make other words be in different fonts, but it didn't work.
So heres what i'm trying to do; I would like to have the headings, example; Animal name, Animal Type.. in one font, and the answers, example; Kangaroo, Mammal in another font.As it is at the moment, it look crap, because its all in the same font, color and size.
I know it is very easy. Right click> create motion tween> drag to where I would like the text/object to move. But, Sometimes it doesn't seem to work when I drag the text. It will work the first time and for the second text on the frame it won't work. What are the requirements of a motion tween when it comes to text on a single layer in the same frame.

View 6 RepliesI am currently trying to modify a Polaroid Flash photo gallery template. Currently it is setup so that when the user double clicks on the thumbnail, the photo enlarge, when they double click again on it, it closes it down. I'm trying to get it so that they only have to single click to close the enlarged photo down, as supposed to double click. I have found the section of code that controls this, I've tried playing with the numbers, but I still cannot get it to work:

If so, how do you handle line wrapping - so that the lines break at a particular word?
View 2 RepliesI am populating a dynamic text box with some xml elements that I am calling on. For example, I have two text fields and am filling them using
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester);
texttime.textname.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
How could I populate one dynamic text field using a combination of the two elements above? I'd also like to put a line break between the two elements.I tried something like this and could not figure it out
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester)+"/n "(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
We can write
on (release, releaseOutside) {
// statements...
}
on a button or a movieclip.
But can we write the same on a frame specifying the same action? e.g. Something like
my_btn.onRelease,releaseOutSide=function(){
// statements..
}
Now the above code doesn't run unless we write two different lines for "release" and "releaseOutSide" respectively.
I am resizing a movie clips height automatically to match the height of some dynamic text that is displayed above it (will eventually be loading it from xml ). is there a way to keep a safe margin top and bottom? this is my code so far Text_Box_Graphic.height = Text_Box.height;
View 2 RepliesI have very little experience with text in flash. In a dynamic text field I know I can apply a TextFormat to the entire field but can I apply different fromatting to individual workd in the field if for example I wanted to make a word or a few words of text a hyperlink within a textfield. Can I do that or would I need to use html text?

How can I change the line height of a Label element in Flex?
I have two labels in a VBox and there is quite a lot of white space between them which I would like to reduce. There's no line height property and setting the height property causes overlap.
I have a movieclip that has a 1px wide line by 10px high. Im trying to resize that line with tweenlite, however when i change the height it makes it wider too... How can i do this and keep the line 1px?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying componentize one of the pieces of UI in an AIR application that I'm developing in Flex. In this example, I want to display file information on a single line (which has an icon, some text/link and the size).
My code looks like this (component is called FileDisplay):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="[URL]"><mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function set iconType(source:String):void {
this.ficon.source = source;
[Code] .....
However, when I do this, I get an error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This is because the child components of the FileDisplay are null (or at least they show up that way in the debugger). Am I supposed to be waiting for events indicating the child components were created? For now I can manually do everything in ActionScript in my main app (create a Canvas and add children to it) but how to separate the code more cleanly.
I am trying to delete a single line using graphics.clear() method but it clears all the instance of lines created by lineTo() method. I want to remove a single line upon click from bunch of its multiple instance.
