I have a TextField and I am trying to display embedded images using htmlText:
var test:TextField = new TextField();
test.multiline = true;
test.wordWrap = true;[code]....
In this case the raftImg is in the Assets class. The problem is that the image does not align as it should (it always stays in upper left corner). If I load it using "../ blah/ img.gif" it works properly.
when the embedFonts is removed, it works perfectly as expect. Otherwise when an image is clicked, it selects the whole text around it.
testtext.htmlText="Curabitur dolor eros<a href='event:test'><img src='003.jpg'></a>eget odio.</p>";
testtext.embedFonts=true;
did anyone come across this before? is there another way to make an image clickable inside a dynamically loaded xml text?Alternatively can anyone suggest a method to style dynamic textfields instead of using html?I've tried with many different fonts, and many different stylesheets, its still the same.
I am trying to apply a new text format to my text field on a movie clip onRollOver. The new text format is properly/correctly applied when I moused over, and the main difference that is applied onRollOver is to have the text underlined. The only problem I'm having with this is that the actual underline itself appears to be about two pixels to the left of my text string so it looks like its not aligned properly with the text.[CODE]...

View 3 RepliesI just discovered that one of my old AS2 projects isn't working properly anymore in Firefox.I have a multiline TextField with htmlText that works fine in the Flash IDE, and fine in IE8, but in Firefox it behaves rather strange: each paragraph appears on exactly two lines, no matter how long it is! It always breaks before the last word of the paragraph, even if the whole of the line is shorter than the textfield width.
But this behaviour only shows up if the text is loaded in from an XML file! If the same text is simply assigned to a string, it works normally.
I have an html text field that I want to use as an ongoing chat field (dynamic) and since flash has alignment issues with images inside text, I thought I'd embed a nice picturesque font and then just code them apart
e.g <p><font face='_sans' size='12'>Hello </font><font size='21'> there</font></p>
The embedded font is the default font for the textbox, so only the non graphical text needs to have a font face. So in that example "Hello" would be in text and "there" would be the graphical font.
Problem is, after much trouble even getting the font to embed and appear, that the sans text never appears.Also, Iam constranied in that I have to publish as flash 6.
I have 3 embedded fonts in my library and I have given them a class name.Now I would like to use these fonts in HTML in a TextField object.How do I do this? I created a stylesheet and entered the font name, but it still picks it from my harddrive, because it doesn't work on other computers where the font is not installed.I have a font embedded named "Edo", and gave it the classname Edo.[code]
View 12 RepliesI'm in the middle of the painful transition to AS3, and have encountered a stonewall. In AS2 you could export any font for actionscript and use its identifier (for example "Font 1") in htmlText:
my_text.htmlText = <font face="Font 1" size="20">"+Some text+"</font>"
But what's the procedure in AS3, as fonts doesn't have identifiers, only a class name?

I have different htmlText strings for my TextField. Each of them contains an image with the text: textfield.htmlText = "<img src='animage.jpg'>Here is my text"; textfield.htmlText = "<img src='anotherimage.jpg'>Here is my second text"; Now what I'm doing is making a fadein effect on the TextField, from 0 to 1, and changing the htmlText. The problem is that, when the image is not loaded in the cache, it is displayed a little abruptly after maybe half a second, which really doesn't look good. How could I force Flash the preloading of these images before the fadein without having the user notice it?

View 2 RepliesI've got two questions; one about whether or not something is natively possible in Flash and another if there is a free or commercial component to fix the problem.I know CSS/HTML in textfields is one of the weak points of Flash, but I still would like to clear something up(couldn' find a definitive 'not possible'through google).I'm trying to display images from HTML/XML as block through CSS in a dynamic textField but can't seem to get it to work.I've tried too many variations to display one piece of code which fails, but it boils down to:
* I load XML in which headings, paragraphs and images(usually within a paragraph) are set.
* I load CSS (or generate with AS for that matter) which set's the properties of the various tags.
* Images always display inline even if just one single char fits beside it in the field. If nothing really fits beside the image,Flash still places text there which is then hidden from the reader. All attempts to have the image's display set to block fail. Also if I try
through a surrounding p-tag.
I tried all from XML.ignoreWiitespace,TextField.condenseWhite, adding p-, and br-tags. It just won't work.If there really is no (why not?!) possibility to have it done natively, does anyone know of a solution (paid or free) done previously?
I am working on an as3 project and trying to use htmlText to display images and text inline in rows to create a scroll bar if results are more than 5. for example each row has an image on the left and text on the right aligned like a simple table. However when I add the image tag and text then insert a break or <p> tag the text breaks out of alignment with the image. What is the best to acomplish displaying images and text aligned in rows and get a scroll bar if more than 5 rows in flash/ as3

View 2 RepliesI have created an image gallery for a client using actionscript 2 and xml. I have the gallery pulling in the images and text from the xml file and displaying correctly. The problem is the rollover/rollout affect I need to do. The image need an itunes affect flip, so the image looks like it flips to display a description then when you roll out it should flip back to show the image. The flash so far can be seen here [URL]
The flash works by pulling the image in from xml and putting it inside a place holder MC inside another movieclip. This movie clip contains a mask which creates the flip affect and shows a white box containing text over the image. When you rollover this works fine, but when I roll out the image, and title have disappeared when the white box is removed.
At the moment I have left the rollover affect out (as you can see on the link) but for my own sanity I would love to know why I can't get this to work. I probably havent explained this very well so I have attached a demo of how I am trying to get the rollover affect to work.
Here is the website: [URL]. If you visit the gallery, the images are sliding TOO fast and i have no idea why, They work fine if I test in the Flash.

So I made a drag and drop app where I can drop in an image, it get's resized and saved automatically on the desktop.
But now I want to do the same when there are multiple images dragged in. This is where I'm stuck...
private function onDrop(e:NativeDragEvent):void
{
trace("Dropped!");
var dropfiles:Array = e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;

The problem is that I want the completeHandler() to run after every ldr.load() but in my code it only runs once right after the for each loop.
I recently created a visual quiz app which asks a question and then gives 4 image answers.
The problem that I'm having is that the images don't shrink the image into their quadrants, but rather, zooms in on the top left corner of the image.
Can anyone tell me what I have to change in the following code to make the images display at a set width (so that they fit in the quadrants proportionally).
Here is what the SWF looks like now. As you can see the images become distorted because they are being stretched. What should happen is that the images be displayed at a fixed width and variable height. [URL]
Code:
var dataXML:XML = new XML();
var arrSounds:Array = new Array();
var arrData:Array = new Array();
var rndData:Array = new Array();

I'm creating a banner advertisement in Flash. It pulls all information from an XML file. Images for each product are also loaded externally. Everything is working fine except for 1 thing.
I have an image separator i'm using as a background for each product container to lend a bit of separation to each product. But when I try to add it using code it's only added to the last item. Doesn't matter if it's 10 items or 2 items...it's only being added to the last one and i'm not sure why. Anyways, i've zipped up the associated files and put it on my webserver. I'm using the Tweener class and have included that in the archive as well.

I have a big problem - I decided to make a website using flash as I am good with photoshop and thought it would be fairly easy to construct in flash using tutorials. All went well except now the website is published, weird things happen. The homepage works fine but when you click on "portfolio" some of the buttons don't appear and when you try the buttons, some images don't appear. Occasionally some of the buttons take you to the wrong place also. When I test the movie in flash, everything works fine so I can't work it out. I am a complete novice so advice will have to be spelt out in black and white.

View 9 RepliesWhen I stream an MP3 file with an embedded image, the first few seconds of the files are clipped.
I will need to find another server, or a viable workaround.
Say I have something like this:
[Embed(source='../lib/images/image01.png')] var Image:Class
But I want to change that images based on another string like so:`
[code]...
But this gives me an error, is there another way to do something like this?
Each character in my game has a status icon. The image of the icon can be one of a number of images that I embed with the executable. What is the proper structure of such a class? Say the class has the embedded images of a Star, a Square and a Circle, I want the class to display only one of the three shapes at any given moment, but can switch to a different shape as needed.
The class has:
o 10 embedded images
o 1 sprite object
o A public function that allows one of the ten images to be displayed when the sprite object is drawn. inside the class I create an array of 10 images and use addChild for each of them. To display just one, I make the other 9 invisible. What is the proper way of doing this? Should I call keep just one sprite object and call 'new' each time I need to switch the image? is there a way to enumerate the classes so that I can switch by calling something like this:
ActionScript Code:
icon.AttachImage("Star"); // Where "Star" corresponds to the class that holds the embedded image.
I was just wondering what are the pros and cons of using embedded images instead of dynamic loading? Because when making games on pure AS3 (without Flash IDE), its a pain to manually embed all the assets needed... That makes your code sloppy, besides you don't have control to automatically change the hud, for example, by only changing the external file.
But I heard that some sites only let you upload a single swf, so you can't have external images. Also I heard that some are worried about users downloading their art... But as far as I know, they can also download them if they hack the swf with a decompiler. Having it external, you can encrypt the image, and unencrypt it on the code, so if they try to download they will only get encrypted code.
I have an Image component with a source set to an embedded image. When I load this module into a shell module, the image doesn't show up. Why? I have to put an instance of that image into the shell module's codebase just to make it work. That shouldn't be, right?
