i'm trying to add whitespaces in front of my text, but flex removes all but one whitespace from the text. So i can't format the text.
Here is the specified line:
<s:p> - Lorem</s:p>
<s:p> ipsulum</s:p>
Here its shown correctly but when running the swf it reduces the whitespaces of the second line. Of course i tried to use CDATA but this didn't work too.
I'm looking, for various almost mystical reasons, to have a string containing more than one spaces. Basically, I want to be able to have a text string that, when compiled into an SWF, will show "".

View 1 RepliesI am working as a developer on a Flex/Air application and we are using the buggy Flex RTE (RichTextEditor) to let the user manage his notes. At the moment I am trying to evaluate how costly it would be for us to build a new text component using the TLF (Text Layout Framework).Really important is the question if we can import the HTML text, produced by the RTE straight away. I know that there are some limitations regarding lists with TLF 1.1, but does it work in general?
I have just tried to grab some HTML formatted text from RTE like:

The link elements I'm talking about are single words, so they are not wrapped inside the container, which means that they should have a single bounding rectangle. But how do I go about finding this rectangle? I'm familiar with Flex3 but don't know enough about the new Text Layout Engine in Flex4.

View 1 RepliesI am using text layout framework textflow in Flex 3 to get embedded images. In the edit field for the application the user can apply formatting. This all works fine except if the user deletes all the text they have entered and then starts typing again then the formatting is lost.[code]To setup the initial formatting then similar code to apply the formatting when the user changes it.So how can I stop the user from 'deleting' the formatting if they delete all the text?

I have embedded a Font in my flex app. That works on any components without problems.
@font-face {
src:url("../assets/fonts/wedtxtn.ttf");
fontFamily: "CSSFont";
cff: true;
}
However, when I try to apply the font to my TextFlow object, it is not working. However, it does work when I use the FTE and do it my self. I debugged through the TLF and the looks like the correct FontDescription is created.
Here is the code I use to create text (Full Source @ Pastbin)
var element:SpriteVisualElement = new SpriteVisualElement;
element.verticalCenter = 0;
element.horizontalCenter = 0;

a few days ago i have started running across various errors and glitches in the app i am developing, and after a lot of time found out the following fact:
just as the title reads, flash started ignoring changes i make to classes i use, as if it has an internal cache of imported classes and refuses to check for changes. it notices when i remove class from directory, it notices when i comment out a whole function, BUT if i comment out the contents of all of the functions, leaving just their declarations, flash executes them "perfectly" well. where does it takes their contents from? how to delete the cache?
while trying to save a class at a certain point when i was dealing with this, i got a "sharing violation" error, that told me i cant save it.
With a looming deadline for a big project, I've just wasted an entire evening trying to find out why my application won't properly load image content when the .swf is deployed to a web server.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
- load a jpeg image from a different domain than where my .swf's are hosted
- turn it into a Bitmap object to apply smoothing
Loading the jpeg itself is no problem, as long as I do this:
[AS]addChild(loader);[/AS]
As soon as I try to access loader.content, or loader.contentInfo.content to create a Bitmap, Flash simply aborts the script.So there you have it: a typical security sandbox violation (although no error is ever thrown). Solution: crossdomain.xml! Or that's what I thought.Now the image host has a crossdomain.xml in it's root, with *.rocketclowns.com as an entry. I'm testing my app from www.rocketclowns.com.Even if I try to force load the policy file:
[AS]Security.loadPolicyFile()[/AS]
Or, with LoaderContext:
[AS]// create a loader context that
// checks for policy files
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.checkPolicyFile = true;
// use the context with your call to load
myLoader.load(request, context);[/AS]
...I still can't access my loader.content.
I have a simple C# program that, when a user clicks on a button, opens a new frame with an activex flash object embedded in it. The code I use to open it is the following :
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form f = new Form();
[code]...
The test program has been run by several user, without any problem, except for one, that sees this:
I don't think that the problem is in the application itself, but in the flash player. So, the question is, what am I missing? Are there flash settings that force the window to have the default size?
I have a flash file that loads in a external swf. That swf contains a form that I want to control the tab order on. The external swf has form fields in it, and I have their tab indexes set. When I hit tab, flash ignores the flash index, and focuses on some of the navigation elements of the parent .swf. What am I doing wrong?

I have a symbol in the Library with a Base Class that extends the MovieClip Class and adds some additional functionality. I want to be able to export this from the Library by right clicking on the symbol and selecting Export SWF. I was hopping this would essentially give me the same results as if the symbol contents was on the main timeline and I had declared the Base Class as the Document Class. When I import this SWF using the Loader Class it seems to loose all of Base Class functionality and think of itself as a MovieClip.
Looking at the below sample code, the alpha property is correctly set but the param1 getter is unaccessible. What the hell is going on?

I have run into a strange and annoying problem since updating to Flash Professional CS5.5 on my work computer.Sometimes, seemingly randomly, Flash stops compiling things correctly. I Test Movie by hitting Cmd+Return and it just displays what's on the stage, frame 1. The document class is never initialized, no errors at all, no trace statements print out; it acts as if there is no code at all. After this happens once, it will continue to do this until I restart Flash, which fixes the problem. However, restarting Flash every 10 - 15 minutes is very annoying.It seems to happen regardless of what project I'm working on or what state the project is in (i.e. if the code contains errors or not). All of our projects use external AS3 classes (no code on the timeline).
View 2 RepliesI am having a lot of trouble while syncing my Flash Builder Actionscript project with Subversion. I have read that the output folders bin, bin-debug and html-template should not be checked in to the repository. The project bin folder contains a lot of XML files and assets that other project members needs to access. The problem is that Flash builder ignores it.
Is there a way of setting up Flash Builder to override the ignored bin folder? If not, what other approach should I consider? Different folder structures?
/src (commited)
/bin (ignored)
/swc (commited)
I would really like to override the default "DO NOT COMMIT YOUR DEPLOY FOLDER" setting. Bounty it is.
I am trying to print a string with html formatting. Part of the formatting includes font face. I have found that my print job will not print any string that includes a font face declaration. I'm guessing because the font isn't embedded, but I'm not positive.
This works:
string = "<b>bold</b> not bold";
Doesn't work:
string = "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">this is my string</font></p></textformat>";
How can I get around this. I need the ability to print any font on a users computer.
I'm building a flash app that will go full screen. I need to ensure it's usable at a variety of resolutions.I can overlay them fine, but the problem is I now can't interact with the app, because when I click on some part of the UI, it thinks I'm clicking on the image, since it's technically in front. I want the image to be in the front at a visual level, but without it having any bearing on the keyboard/mouse interaction with the app.My fall back is to create a series of 1pixel wide lines, which will still be in the foreground mouse/keyboard wise, but I can cope with losing that much interaction ability.
View 1 RepliesI have a large-ish array of points.
The graphics object I am using has it's alpha value set to 0.1.
When these points are plotted iteratively, and the line being drawn overlaps another line drawn earlier, there is no visible change in the colour at the intersection.
If I draw the line differently, not using an array of points, the alpha is not ignored.
ActionScript Code:
public function render(e:Event):void
{
if (segmentsCollection.length > 0)
[Code].....
This all occurs on each ENTER_FRAME event until the array is emptied.
I have tried loads of options but the alpha is always ignored.
