Actionscript 3 :: Save Text Of Textarea And Reuse It To Replace Text In Textarea?
Oct 11, 2010
Is it possible to save text of textarea (flash 10, as3, cs5) in some variable or so and with its textformat (more than one color) and then reuse it to replace text in textarea?
I tried saving htmlText of textarea but the problem is when i replace it in textarea tags causes problem. There will always be another extra line.
If anyone wants to view p tags problem try following. Just click on text and then move your down arrow key, cursor will go to next line.
[Code]...

A little much put in the title, but my question is just that. I have the following AS3 code for my textarea...
addChild(Texta1);
Texta1.alpha = 0;
Texta1.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;
[Code].....
Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).

I am using a button to input text from a text input and displaying it in a text area using following code.
public function sendMessage():void
{
mytextarea.text = textinput.text;
textinput.text = "";
}
The problem I am facing is , whenever I add new line or others it replaces the previous text, I want the previous text in text area to stay there.

When you select text in a Text or Label or TextArea (or other) control in a Flex application, the selection is shown in white text on a black background. Always.
I have a request to change that — and it seems to be a simple enough thing to want — but I can't find a style (or property) anywhere that permits that. Any ideas out there about how to do this, or reasons why it definitively can't be done?

TextArea in flex doesn't render <TABLE></TABLE>.
I want to display text in textarea in two columns. [code]...
Depending on text width in Column1 text in Column2 will be shifted. So all rows in Column2 are going to be aligned. How can I do this without html <table>?

I need to know which part of the text is been modified by the user inside a Flex TextArea. I'm listening to TextArea's Event.CHANGE and my code run on everychange but i don't know what the user have done to the text and it's too long to process it again at every keypress or paste
We are still with Flex 3.5 but i may consider Flex 4 if the solution is easier.

As per my observation this does not work in flex4:
<mx:TextArea id="taMytext" text="
hi
san"/> //use of
does not work here
<s:Button label="Click it" click="Myfun()" />
Using script it's possible:
public function Myfun():void
{
taMytext.text="hi
";
taMytext.text+="san";
}

I want to create a small chatbox for my site. But I can't use text background in a textarea. I don't know if I should use textarea or something else. Some users can use background color on their own text. I tried the .background command with textarea but I think it does not support it.

I'm having trouble inserting smiley's and images into my chat, I want to put emote icons in my chat, but it keeps putting the images in front of the lines. I've seen it done on many webchat-systems, so it must be something simple, what am I doing wrong? I tried it in flex 4 with a richText field, and it worked fine with <s:img>, but my entiere code is in flash (AS3), i rather not rebuild all to flex.

I have a movieclip with a TextArea inside it with the instance name writeUps_txt.The movieclip is added to the stage with actionscript and I want to set the text inside writeUps_txt after the movieclip is added to the stage.Why won't the following work?
infoPages[i].writeUps_txt.text = blurbs[i];
I've checked everything and all of my arrays contain the right objects so everything is kosher there. To add to the problem, this line:
infoPages[i].title_txt.text = locations[i];
does work and the only difference is that title_txt is dynamic text.Is there a difference between how dynamic text and textAreas behave in this regard?

I have a movieclip inside it is a textarea. It is in the libary and the MC is exported for actionscript as "bulletPoint".When trying to set the text I try [code]1119: Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.is there a way to get this to work without giving the textarea a name? I would rather use getChildAt if possible.

Ok, so I've read up on the TextArea class in Livedocs, and i've been looking at XML explanations and their implementation into Flash for about a week. I've tried this EXACT code on another Flash document, except on the main stage instead of embedded inside of a
separate movie clip, and it worked perfectly. Can anyone explain why the text won't display in the TextArea? Does it have something to do with it being inside of a movieclip and that being placed on the Main Stage? (By the way, proxy.xml is just a copy of the xml produced by my CFM proxy for easier usage, in case you were wondering.

I'm importing text into a TextArea component and it all works fine and dandy.Though I want the textarea to not form a scrollbar but to actually just keep adjusting its height so there is never a scrollbar.I looked through all the properties and I have no idea what to test for to see if there is a scrollbar.

I found a thread on actionscript.org that showed a way to load functions from text in a dynamic text box. It works using "asfunction". I tried it and it worked.However, load that dynamic text into a TextArea component and it doesn't call the function anymore! Is there a way to do it?

Any clues on how to have it so the text inside a textarea can be outlined, no matter what it is, through actionscript? Or some other sneaky way? I'm not talking about using the ink tool and such, a more complex way is what I'm looking for...

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

if you feed the textarea text attribute with an tag that has a valid src url, then for some reason flex will try to render everything as html.Eg, try this:<mx:TextArea id="textArea" width="100%" height="90%" text="<img src='http://url-to-a-valid-img"/> and instead of it rendering it as raw text it will render it as an html.

The Below code is running well...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" >
[Code].....
Then htmlText doesn't support Spark Textarea. Hence produces error. How does one go about displaying HTML formatted text with spark Text Area Property.

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?
