i am still new in dealing with flash and what have you posted is very useful, but i want to ask you a question regarding the button function. i want to relate a button with a certain text but it's a big paragraph so when i have made the example on the site the display in the output box is not good enough i want the text to be displayed as a paragraph not a straight line.

I have a problem where I have a flash chat room and the first thing you do is log in with a name. This works. Next it goes to a loading screen that says thank you (name) and the proceeds to a title area where you choose to either chat, check for friends or change your name. Oh and of course exit. These are all working so far, but one prob. When you hit the send btn (button) it puts the text you typed in the text area with your name first. Example: (NAME): (TEXT) Problem is it needs a paragragh space first. And I dont know the script for that.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to put a paragraph of text inside a circular (or half circle) shape using xml loaded text via Actionscript 3?
Ideas I have so far:
- format a textfield as center justified and put all the line breaks in manually. Prefer not to do this
- Use a linked textFlow object - not sure how to do this and concerned about the extra 100K added to my final swf
Perhaps there is a class that someone has written.

View 5 RepliesWhen a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

View 3 RepliesI have been reading Learning Actionscript 3.0 for about 1-2 months now on and off and i have stumbled across a paragraph that I don't quite understand concerning the position of a navigation bar buttons.
Code:
var btnNum:int = 5;
var spacing:Number = 10;
var navBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(navBar);
var btn:SimpleButton;
[Code] .....
The current button is positioned horizontally (line 10), offset by the spacing set in line 2, plus the width of the button and another spacing gap for each button in the loop. Therefore, the first button is positioned only 10 pixels to the right of the container's registration point (spacing, plus zero times the sum of the width of the button and spacing). The last button is positioned 10 pixels to the right of the container's registration point plus 4 times the width of the button and spacing. The vertical position is also set, moving the button down 5 pixels. From the above quote, I understand that the button the first button is placed horizontally, but i don't understand what is after it. What the paragraph means and how it does it's position.

I have a simple text box with a UIScrollBar component added to it.

When I'm coding action script in the Actions window of Flash, in line breaks, the paragraph symbol is present, and there are dots in all the spaces, etc., etc.
I accidentally turned this on, and don't know how to turn it off.
It's like the paragraph symbol button in Microsoft Word.
How do I extract more than one email from a paragraph and output the result to a console?
var pattern:RegExp = (/^[-._0-9a-zA-Z]+@[-._0-9a-zA-Z]+[.]{1}[0-9a-zA-Z]+[.]?[0-9a-zA-Z]$/i);
var asd:String;
asd=tt.text;
trace(asd.match(pattern));
I know this might be a dumb question.. I somehow switched on paragraph signs () in the actions-window and they appear after every line break. I can't figure out how to make them disappear again.
