Actionscript 3 :: Formatting TextInput In Flash?
May 22, 2011
It looks like the default font formatting for the textInput is a bit off. The margin at the top is less than at the bottom.I've tried the setTextFormat, with defaultTextFormat and setTextFormat but it's not doing the trick.
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.size = 16;
_autoComplete.textField.defaultTextFormat = tf;
_autoComplete.textField.setTextFormat(tf);
I'm using Astra's autoComplete, but I don't think this is restricting it, though there is a slight chance that the field has an override.

I have a dynamic TextField with very wide letter spacing in my .fla. However, whenever I change the text in the TextField using actionscript, the letter spacing resets. Is there a way to keep that from happening? And why does it happen in the first place

I have two text boxes on the same window. They are both set to Arial 14 Regular but they both appear very differently. To see what I am referring to: [URL] and go to the Conversion Tools at the bottom of the page. Click on Surface Finish and type in a value in the two different fields and click calculate. I really don't see anything that could be causing this difference in appearance.

On my website Im trying to display examples of code. Ive been hitting a rather large wall when it comes to flash and how it deals with formatting text.
If I simply load as regular text I get a massive amount of extra white space and lose all my indenting. If I load as htmlText, I can get it to remove most of the white space but not all. I can also get some indenting using htmlText but it only applies to 'paragraphs' as a whole, which is obviously irrelevant with code, and requires me to go back to way too much white space.
Is there anyway I can get flash to load -exactly- what I see in notepad in regards to white space and indenting at the same time?

I am working on a fairly simple form in flash that sends its text input (name, email, subject, and message) to a php file that in turn sends an email containing the inputted text. I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find another case quite like this. Basically I'd like the email sent to just include the inputted text, but it seems that the variables are passing all the text box formatting in addition to the inputted text. I will include my AS, php, and email result below.
AS:
Code:
stop();
messageSent._visible=false;
sendBtn.onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over")
[Code].....

I think I'm having difficulties thinking of the right way to word this question in the search box: I'm looking for a way to change the way a new class is formatted when I create a new class in Flash CS5. I'm very particular with my formatting, especially the placement of curly braces, and I hate the default way AS3 classes are formatted.

I want to make a website in Flash. And the text I want on my page is in an XML file.
<website>
<pagina naam="home">
<heading>Je eigen website maken!</heading>
[code]....
This for example. What I want is to display the text and have the heading text to be a bigger size then the "paragraaf" text. And I also want the paragraaf text to be bold. How can I do this ? I can already display the text on my screen so that is not the problem.

I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.
My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.
In HTML when you assign as FONT format... font face="verdana,arial" when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.
Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?
Obviously to prevent that when people don't have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up

I'm attempting to make an RSS feed for my new site's news, and i've looked online at adding a date stamp but i guess you have to make a new namespace or whatever and it confuses me to shambles when i try to read all that. so i have my current rss file as so:[code]Anyway, this isn't very friendly to read the date, as seen in the <item> tag. i need to output the date to flash in the form of 6-26-05. how would i go about doing that from the pubDate in the item?

i am trying to create a form that can be used to fill in and send news to a database. I think i am sussing out all the php mysql stuff, but i really want to create some phpBB style features. For example, i would like the user to be able to click a "bold" button which would open a window to enter the text to be formatted bold. The same for underline, link and mailto. Thats it.
I have tried to find examples, using substring methods and such. And i expect using html formatting would be a good place to start, but i can't think of how to get it to do it. If you've posted anything with a bold piece of text or a link, you'll see how the functions of the Bold, Underline stuff work. That's what i want to create for a flash form. I can then send the formatted news, to the database from where it is subsequently put into the news page textField.

I have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.

I am studying Flash and want to make a video player with where you can change video and the corresponding subtitles with a click on either "forward" or "back" button.
So far I have created 2 arrays of video files ("[videos]") and text strings ("[captions]"). By clicking on one of the buttons, the video in the FLVPlayback component changes as well as the the subtitles-text in the TextArea.
However I have a problem with text formatting.
I use the following functions for button click:
function playNextVideo():void
{
if (currentVideo < videos.length-1)
[Code]....
My problem is that the format changes only when I click the button, but it is not applied for the first subtitle.
So, for the first video I get a plain text, with black color, not italic and not with size "18". However, if I click on "forward" button (and thus execute the playCurrentVideo() again), the format will change. If I then will try to go back to the first video, the text will now be formatted.
So my question is - what causes this condition and how to handle it?

I've been working on a feedback form in Flash that passes the variables to an ASP document that then processes the variables and sends an e-mail. After a lot of problems, I finally got the basic mechanics up and running.
However, whenever the variables go to the ASP file, it sends more than the text that was input into the input text field...it also sends all of the formatting data! Font size, family, color, leading, and so on.
Is there a way to configure the inputs or send the variables so that only the input data is sent?[code]...

I have a textInput field form that's not displaying the characters it should when typed into. E.g. when the letter "¦" on my keybard is pressed "¾" shows up. This only happens once the flash movie is being displayed in a browser (that is embedded in html), preview through flash does not have this problem. The font is properly embedded as "nameInp.text = shows the correct text in the textInput. It is only when I try to type when it doesn't work as it should. I have Window mode set to window and I've tried setting "System.useCodePage = true;"

I have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):
[Code]...
This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage). I am rather confused as to why it's not picking this up and am not sure how I set it to do so, i would be immensely grateful if someone could point me in the right direction?
