ActionScript 2.0 :: Last Line Of Multiline Wrapped Text Cut Off With DropShadowFilter
Oct 15, 2008I'm running into an issue where, if the dynamic text field I create wraps and autoSizes to 2 lines or more, the last disappears (sometimes partially). However, this only happens when I apply a DropShadowFilter to it. If I don't apply the drop shadow filter, it renders correctly. Note that whether or not the text renders correctly, flash seems to know that the text has wrapped and autosized, as this is how i assign the Y position of the second text field below it. See code below:

Professional :: Applying Text Format To ComboBox Makes TextField Text Disappear?
Oct 25, 2010When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.
ActionScript 3.0 :: CSS Styles Not Applying To Text?
Jul 24, 2009I'm importing XML text and sticking it in a text field. The text has some <span> tags with classes. Also importing a CSS file (verifying that it is importing correctly - at least when I trace it it says [object StyleSheet] - can I trace styles within a stylesheet? Or do an "exploded" trace that shows me everything in the stylesheet?)
Here's the key data:
AS (note default formatting, content, etc is working perfectly)
Code:
textBody = new TextField();
textBody.embedFonts = true;
textBody.wordWrap = true;
[Code].....
So theoretically I should have a few big words and a few small words among my otherwise mid-sized text, but the styles are having no effect.
Is there a way to verify that there are actually style in the stylesheet object (though why there wouldn't be I don't know....
ActionScript 1/2 :: DropShadowFilter Not Rendering?
Aug 5, 2009I scripted a DropShadowFilter to render on my Movie Clip. The MC just consists of static text and its using the Tween class to move on the screen. Can't figure out why its not showing up. I'm using the same method on another movie clip that is just images, and works fine. Not generating any errors either.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DropShadowFilter Null?
Jun 18, 2009I am working on a rollover mapping like page for an instructional demo. Basically, the user rollovers clickable areas and a dynamic text box popups explaining what the link's utility is.
I have all the text dynamically set, there are styles for the text box (ie borders and padding) and then a drop shadow filter applied. However, upon viewing the SWF file the drop shadow does not seem to work consistently. OnRollOut it doesn't always do so and upon OnRollOver a different hotspot the dropshadow will duplicate. The duplicating of the dropshadow will either continue to do so or the OnRollOut will remove the dropshadow and reset the text box as it should.

import flash.display.*;import flash.text.*;

Nov 23, 2006In a mc is a dynamic textfield, trough as this textfield gets his content. The textfield works fine and also the html text displays/works as supposed. No problem at all. But now I put a rollOver/Out on this mc with the textfield, the text shows up allright, but the html doesnt work anymore (I mean the hyperlinks, the rest is okay)
Code:
textmc.textarea.html = true;
textmc.textarea.htmlText = "<a href='[URL]'>link here</a>"
textmc.onRollOver = function() {

};
textmc.onRollOut = function() {

So the problem is the rollOn/Out, if I comment out those functions everything is okay...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Applying Effects To Dynamic Text Boxes?
Jan 2, 2007I'm just starting to delve into AS, so this should be easy.

The fade works fine on everything except the text - the whole movie clip fades in, but the text just instantly "jumps into existence".

Aug 24, 2010I'm very close to finishing the creation of a Flash Event Calendar app but I am having trouble with something I feel should be very easy. I'm adding text to a textbox dynamically based on how many events are on the selected day.
For some reason though the styles are only being applied to the last set of text being added. for example, if there are three events on a certain day, i will list the three events but only the 3rd event will have the styling. If there's 2 events that day, the 2nd event will have styling, if there's 10 events, the 10th event will have the styling. Why are they not all being styled and only the last one?

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Make Dynamic Text Box Push Other Controls Down?
Dec 6, 2011This is a really easy one that I thought would be easily found on google but I can't think of the terminology. I'm using CS4 and AS3 with a few multi-line dynamic text boxes beneath one another. When I populate the top text box I would like it to automatically push down the other text boxes beneath it when the content flows on to extra lines.
At the moment it only wraps to the gap that is between each text box but then stops when reaching the text box beneath. Is there a property to allow for this (I've worked in Silverlight and there was on controls there) that I can just set or will I have to manually implement this and call functionality to re-set all the controls y properties each time I change the text in the text box?

Applying Ease To ONE Motion, Not All?
Nov 10, 2009on a project in Flash CS4 for Windows. I have an object on a layer that moves separately at different times of the animation (all one large motion tween). I'm attempting to apply an ease to just one leg of that motion, but instead, when I choose an ease setting in the motion editor, the ease is applied to the entire tween (so it affects the stationary frames too!). Is there a way to apply an ease to a single span of motion instead of the entire motion tween?Alternatively (if it's not possible), is there an easy workflow for breaking-up a motion tween in to separate motion tweens while maintaining the position of the object in between the motion tweens? (I don't want to use the frame-by-frame animation conversion option I've seen.)

Actionscript 3 :: TextField Not Applying <b> Tag?
Apr 27, 2011Using AS3 I am dynamically creating, sizing, positioning and formatting a textfield. I am dynamically setting the content of the textfield from the contents of an xml file. I am trying to use the bold tag and noticed that it is not working. After a bit of searching the best I could come up with is "Flash CS4 tag in with htmlText". Bottom line: I have to embed an emboldened fontface.
As an example, let's say I want to use Tahoma. In my .fla file (using Flash CS4) I embed Tahoma and export it for use in actionscript. This lets me use Tahoma as a font in my textfield. If I try to use the b tag (textfield.htmlText="not bold, <b>bold</b>";) the bold text does not get emboldened. Based on the above question I have now embedded the Bold version of Tahoma as well.
How do I link the bold version of Tahoma with the regular version of Tahoma so that when using the bold tag I get bold text in my textfield?
IDE :: Applying More Than 1 Action To A Frame?
Apr 17, 2010I am using action script 3 and need to know how to apply more than 1 action to a frame label, ie; I have 5 pages of images and have actions coded as follows:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("1Lrg");
[Code]....
code continues like this for all the buttons (84 thumbnail images), so they will open a larger image when clicked. So what I now need to do is connect the side navigation buttons to go to the relevant page (frame) when clicked...the problem I'm having is that it is causing duplications in the code ie; I now have, for instance thumbnail (btn4) calling frame 4, but I also need a side navigation button to call this frame.
