I want to set left align for last line.
My vision is to have a colored square at the top of the site Im working on which should span across the entire browser window. I have created a square 1280 x 100 pixels in size and imported it to the stage, alignment is set to x=0, y=0 ad alignment. The scene is the same size as the square I 've imported. When I view my Flash creation its displayed 8 pixels from the top left corner of the browser window. The flash file only contains the square and nothing else. take a look at the 3 files I've attached: issue-scrreen1-3.jpg. The first 2 screens are my Flash, properties and library screen shots. The third screen shot is my browser window.

All I want to do is get the formatting properties of a TLFTextField and apply it to another TLFTextField. This was simple using the classic TextField:
var textFormat:TextFormat = text1.getTextFormat();
text2.setTextFormat(textFormat);
TLFTextField has a getTextFormat and setTextFormat function, but they are both very buggy. getTextFormat only works if you change the selectable property to true, otherwise it generates a null object error. setTextFormat generates a NaN error when some of the properties of the TextFormat object are not null.
The TextLayoutFormat object is supposed to be used instead for TLFTextFields. You set the object by doing the following:
var text1:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
var textLayoutFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
var textFlow:TextFlow = text1.textFlow;
[Code]....
But this just returned null. Does anyone know how to get the TextLayoutFormat so I can apply it to another TLFTextField?
I have a flash movie that has a thin white line on the left side which comes and goes as you stretch a window. Does not show up in any other browser. [URL] Same thing occurs in another site [URL] The flash movie is the same width as container div.

Ideally I'm looking for a library I can use to translate these many attributes into "proper" html and css. The current technology stack is PHP at the back end and javascript at the front end, but there would be little problem in using any other language to do the translation.
Failing that I guess I'll try and write my own, using the api reference as a guide.
I have two text fields TextField1 and TextField2. I basically copy the text from TextField1 to TextField2 with actionscript on textChange. I notice that with TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT on, the TextField2 automatically puts in line-break after some characters. how is this default width changed for a TextField, so that the line break comes after specified characters only ?

I have replaced all TextField objects with TextLayout as I require the functionality it offers. When using TextLayoutFormat I try to embolden text using "this._textLayoutFormat.fontWeight = FontWeight.BOLD;" Adobe have said you can only embolden text when using device fonts: "Applies only to device fonts (fontLookup property is set to flash.text.engine.FontLookup.DEVICE)."
View 1 RepliesI am loading a MovieClip using MovieClipLoader. When the MovieClip starts playing, it changes the alignment of my stage to LT, which incorrectly repositions all the other objects on my stage.
Is there anyway for me to:
Prevent the MovieClip from changing the alignment of my stage? Adding an event handler to an appropriate event, so that I can reset the stage alignment when it gets changed?
I have already tried resetting the stage alignment on the onLoadInit event of MovieClipLoader and the onEnterFrame event of MovieClip, but both seem to reset the alignment too soon.
in the TextFormat has align property to set alignment ;Code: Select allvar tfo:TextFormat=new TextFormat();tfo.align='right';how i can set alignment in the flash.text.engine

View 1 RepliesI am new to Flash so this may be a basic question, but I have not been able to find anything in the help files or the forums. I have tried several times to change the size of my quicktime movies, from 550 pixels by 400 pixels to 480 pixels by 480 pixels, and I cannot seem to do it. I have used "Modify > Document" and tried every option I could find through this command. Each time I export I double check that the export settings match my desired size, and they do, but when I open the movie in quicktime, it has been stretched to fit 550 x 400 pixels. The preview movie looks exactl how I want, it is only the exported movie that is incorrect. Is it possible to make a quicktime movie of the size I would like, or is that a standard format that cannot be adjusted?
As a workaround, I have tried squeezing my 480x480 content into the 550x400 stage (while scaling it prportionally). but when I do this, the square of content is not centered in the background in quicktime. It is off center in the preview movie as well, and this commonly occurs after I have used "modify > document" to change the size of the document. The side to which it is aligned seems to be inconsistent. Is there a way to realign the video after I have modified the document size? Does changing the document size through "modify > document" affect the centering and alignment of my video? Is there a way to change it back?

I'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
I am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.

I need the flash file aligned centre and middle.
I can easily do this using tables or divs using basic object embed code, BUT the problem is my preloader then doesnt work in IE if i use the basic embed code.
If i want my preloader to work in IE i have to use the publish code generated by flash cs4. The problem is i cannot align the file centre & middle no matter what i try. and tables and divs have no effect on this publish code whatsoever.
you can view source on that page to view the cs4 publish code.
Is there anyway to align imported images automatically to the top left of the stage?
I'm using File, Import, Import to Stage which works great for importing multiple images from a folder BUT if I have resized the stage at all (to fit the image size) they align with their top left corner in the centre of the stage.
