I have a form made up of textfields nested within Movie Clips and when I hit tab, it doesn't go to the next textfield, but instead hops all around the interface. Is there any way to control this? I've tried using the accessibility panel and setting the Tab Index but that had no effect (I'm guessing because the textfields are nested in mc's).

View 11 RepliesI have a textfield in a MovieClip that I'm trying to change out from an external class. It appears to return back as empty on the stage, but if I trace what's inside there it gives me the correct value, it just doesn't show up.
My code is this:
((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text = 'test';
So if I trace "((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text" it returns "test" but it doesn't display on the stage, it's just blank.

I have a TLFTextfield, which I've applied a TextFormat to, using a start and end index so it only applies to a range of text.Something similar to this:

textfield.textColor = 0x0000FF;

View 6 RepliesI have one textfield which is presented like _root.screen1.screen2.textfield1
screen2 is the movieclip within screen1. They are movieclips and textfield1 is the textfield
I tested like
_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text="Hi, can u see me?";
trace(_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text);
Then I can see the result of trace which have the text I wrote, but I cannot see anything on the screen.
why it is like this and how to modify then ?
stage.focus = txt; // txt is a text input field
It successfully gives the TextField "txt" focus because when I type, the characters appear in the input textfield, however the familiar blinking text cursor/beam does not appear in the textfield. This makes you think it does not have focus, so you click the textfield to give it focus -- completely defeating the purpose.
I have a problem with animation of TextField. I prepared an animation of MovieClip (containing TextField), that in 0.5sec gets 50% alpha. Then I used "Copy movement as ActionScript 3.0..." option.When I copied it into a class and wanted to animate TextField, nothing matters, excepting weird TF movement.Here my button class code - class works alone:
package UI {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]...........

textField.styleSheet = style;

View 1 RepliesMy dynamic textfield doesen't show special characters (%&+...).

View 4 RepliesI have some issue with the [embed] tag. Even if I set the embedFonts property of the textfield to true the text doesn't show up.The thing is that it worked previously and after some changes (not related to fonts) it doesn't. I'd like to understand how the embed process for font works to find the error in my code.
I declare :
[Embed(source = 'asset/font.ttf', fontName="font", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")] private static var font:String;
to assign the font to the program.Then i call "font" when declaring my textFormat. Is the "fontName" property the link with the textformat ?I work with flashdevelop and the flex_sdk_4.0.0.14159 (the big adobe one, with air (~140mo))

I have a swf with a movieClip with a button in it with the following code:
[Code]...
Now the shoppingchart.swf has a movieClip with the instancename "shopLine_mc" in this movieClip there is a dynamic textfield with the var called product. Now I'd say that if I press the button the shoppingchart.swf should load on level2 and show the text "single toothpick" in the textfield right? It doesnt... it does load the shoppingchart.swf but the dynamic textfield doesnt change.
I have a web page which has a SWF file embeded. I have an issue with the focus.
Steps to reproduce:
1)Click on a HTML Text Field which is inside a Iframe
2)Click on a Flex Field.
3)Begin to type some text.
Expected Result is the entered text should go in the Flex TextInput field but the actual Result is it goes into HTML text field.
This is the bug which was filed but closed without any resolution. The workaround suggested there doesnt work. ( bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12377 )

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

View 7 RepliesI decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.

View 4 RepliesI just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
View 5 Repliesi would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
in as3 how do i get the text of a textfield to know when to line break according to the width of the textfield.
