Css :: Prevent Truncating The Bottom Of Text In Flex Comboboxes?
Aug 25, 2011
I use a rather big font size and the bottom of some characters is truncated ("g" for example, or any character going under the baseline):
I first thought it was a problem with the component height, but even with a very large height the characters got truncated, with big empty spaces above and under the text. I looked for a solution on the net but did not find one. Worst: I was not able to find references to my problem though it seems to be an important one. Is there a CSS property to prevent this behavior or do I have to look elsewhere?
edit: I use Flex 3 and Halo/MX components

I have an Flex-Object with for example 3 properties.
myObj.prop1
myObj.prop2
myObj.prop3
I like to generate 3 Comboboxes to show the data.
No problem if I do it hardcoded in sourcecode.
But how can I find the prop1 to prop3 at runtime?
If next time I have 5 properties with different name it should generate 5 combos.

What is the best way to populate a multiple Comboboxes when using Flex 4.5 and PHP 5?
I am developing a Flex app that displays about 20 Comboboxes on the screen - each combo showing different data. I would like all of the comboboxes to be populated at once when the app starts. I used the default "Data/Service" wizard in Flex that automatically creates the PHP that returns an ArrayCollection to Flex. For example, below is the current PHP function I use that populates each ComboBox:
public function getListsByCODE($code) {
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT a.IDCODE, a.CODE, a.DESCR, a.NOTES FROM DROPDOWN_VW a WHERE (a.CODE = ?)");
$this->throwExceptionOnError();

I am trying to trace a fairly large 2d array (many thousands of elements) to copy in some other code. The code obviously takes a while to run but this doesn't matter to me since it's a one time thing. I used to be able to do this no problem in Flash CS5, but now Flash is truncating the text somewhere in the middle so I don't see all of it. Is there a way to disable this?

I am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "look inside" the dropdown.
So I'm trying to block the change, but can't. My next resort is to change the selected index back to what it was before the change, Is there any way to do this within the scope of a ListEvent.CHANGE event listener?
Current Workaround is to basically re-assign the controls selected item the same way I am defining the selected item when I originally build it (a default selection). So a user sees their change then it immediately changes back to the default selection.

I have text that wraps around an image on a page and I want the text to fade in from top to bottom. I would have just made a gradient in Photoshop and then tweened it over the text. But the text wraps around an image and the gradient would cover the image.

i am a newbie flash designer. a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. it is flash 8 actionscriptfile which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to '~divisions original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~divisions original.fla. it contains divisions.xml.i discovered a problem - if you view 'divisions.swf' - when you click on 'retail visual solutions'and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is no space after the text. the end of the text aligns with the end of the scrollbar. but when you click on eyesite, and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is space after the text. the end of the text does not align with the end of the scrollbar.
my additional questions are:has the creator of the swf file used some unique scrollbar code or is this scrollbar provided in flash itself. in this case, i can read a tutorial to understand it better.i have given 'is correct - no space at bottom of text.jpg' and 'is incorrect - space at bottom of text.jpg' to further explain my query.

I'm working on a simple chat application in Flash / AS3. There's a Chat input box, a Send button, and a TextField where the contents of the chat input box appear after the message has been sent.By default, when you add text to a TextField, the text appears at the top, and works it's way down to the bottom. I would like to do (something close to) the opposite: Have new messages appear at the bottom of the TextField, and old messages move up to the top as new messages are added.

I made a post under actionscript 2.0, but I wasn't sure if it belonged there. So here goes.I made a text box and added a mask to it, it is really long so I made it scrollable. For some reason it keeps cutting off the bottom of the text, meaning it won't scroll all the way down, it truncates it. The text is dynamic and the fonts are embedded, heck I even tried breaking the fonts apart.

I have an input field that adds content to the dynamic text field, and when the content exceeds a certain length, scroll bars come into play. That works fine. The issue that I'm having is that when I extend the dynamic text field it does it from both top and bottom evenly. Thereby, moving the first entry down incrementally as more content is added. Is there a way to keep the top of the dynamic text field at a fixed position while only extending to the base?

Basically I have a textfield that will have a fixed width and wrap the text, which will be passed to it dynamically. Since the text will be dynamic,there's no guarantee of how many lines the text will take up.Directly underneath that textfield i have another text field that will also take dynamic text. Think of it as a title and a subtitle.so I'll have something like this:
Code:
var title:TextField = new TextField();
var subtitle:TextField = new TextField();
title.wordWrap = true;
[code]....
and probably others that I'm forgetting. Getting it to work with a single line of text isn't really a problem, but as soon as the text begins to wrap to multiple lines, everything i've tried seems to fall apart.

I'm trying to duplicate comboboxes in a for loop. The comboboxes are populated with data using the additem function from an array of information. The first combobox is in place at runtime and populated with the data and then, after a user selects how many comboboxes he wants, I run a function to duplicate it. this is the easy part. Everything is duplicated as expected, but as for the data in the duplicated comboboxes, there is no data inside of them!
Code:
var carFieldsArray:Array = new Array (allCars.carMC);
for (var q=0; q<_root.howManyCars;q++) {
if (q>0) {
temp = carFieldsArray[q-1].duplicateMovieClip("carMC"+q, allCars.getNextHighestDepth());
temp._y += 55;
[Code] .....
The carArray is the array with the data. The carfields array is an array that i created for easy access to the comboboxes carMan is the combobox.

If you have two text areas with different styles (fontFamily, weight, color etc) and you copy text from one to the other it also copies the style from the originating text area. Is there any slick way to prevent that?
Here is a sample of code that will illustrate the problem. Type some text in the top box and some text in the bottom, then copy some characters from the top box to the bottom. I'm not using htmltext.[code]...

Below is code that populates a menu. Everything seems to work great, with no errors thrown, except for one crucial part. My megaPages array has the values ["HOME","BABIES","BRIDALS","MISC","WEDDINGS","ABOUT"], but the actual text that displays on screen (which is produced by megaPages) is like this:
As you can see, some of the text is arbitrarily being truncated. I've traced the text strings as they get passed through the various functions at various stages of the menu-build, and they are always right, but somehow when each DisplayObject make it on screen, letters get ommitted (notice though that 'HOME' abd 'ABOUT' are fine). I don't even know where to start with this problem.

Is there a way I can prevent users from delete a text or a character? Say I want the textfield to always show the "$" in front of the number they enter. I was successfully able to do it when they click backspace or delete and then started typing any alphabets. BUT no luck when they highlight the entire textfield and typed the number. The "$" will get deleted, which I don't want that.

I want 3 comboBoxes. The choices in the first and second will determine what will be displayed in the 3rd box. E.g.
1st box - Choose a genre of music (Rock; Pop; Dance etc.)
2nd box - Choose your county
3rd box will display a list of gigs of your chosen genre in the county selected.
Upon choosing a listing in the 3rd box a dynamic text box will display details (address; contact number; price; web address etc).

Basically what I am doing is a ui for a electronic book. The book is broken into 3 parts and each part has its own set of chapters. My xml schema is pasted below. And what I would like is to have two comboBoxes. The first one would list the names of the parts available, i.e.. Part I, Part II, Part III. The Second one would list the chapters avalable under that part. For example, If Part i, is selected then the second combo box would list chapter 1-5, while if the second part is selected, the second combo box would list chapters 6-10. I am using flash 8 pro, and the xmlconnector and comboboxes.
