Flash :: Making The Text Appear From The Bottom Of TextField?
Nov 16, 2010
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.

Padding left can be done by TextFormat.leftMargin. And padding right can be done by TextFormat.rightMargin.
But there is no topMargin or bottomMargin property in TextField or TextFormat.
How can I do padding top and bottom?
Example code of left and right padding(margin) of TextField:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat
format.leftMargin = 40
format.rightMargin = 40

I want to create a textfield that is either N number of pixels from the bottom of the stage or 90% from the top of the stage.
Basically i want the textfield to always appear near the bottom of the stage. What property of the TextField() object do I configure to achieve this?

I have 2 clips sitting on each other which can be tabbed between via swapDepths(). The initial 'underneath' clip has one large textfield/box of type 'input'. For some reason when you mouse over the upper clip in runtime (which has NO textfield) the cursor is coming up. Like as if it is selecting the textfield in the underneath clip. This shouldnt happen!!!!. Ideally users should only be able to select and enter data into the input field when that Mc has been tabbed and is at the top.
I did try making a function to turn the 'selectability' off when the input clip is at the bottom, but this of course doesnt work on textfields of type input

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 a Sprite and it has a TextField as a child. If that Sprite gets transformed, the TextField does not (at least not how I want it). One way to make it transformable is to turn it into a Bitmap. But when this Bitmap gets transformed, there is no anti-aliasing (or maybe little, it turns out ugly at least). Now I have two questions: is it possible to make it have some anti-aliasing? is there another way to make a TextField transformable?

What I basically want to do is create a Textfield that takes user input, even if they have clicked somewhere else on the screen.As I understand it, clicking on another object will cause the Textfield to lose focus and no longer take input. Is there a way around this?

var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://teachercenter.scps.k12.fl.us/education/rss.php?sectiondetailid=69411");
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded);
rssLoader.load(rssURL);

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 got a Sprite that I'm rotating with rotationX & rotationY. This converts the clip to 3d object. Which makes texts in it blurred.[code]...
BUT, when I'm adding another clip to this sprite, that has z=400 (or any z). The texts just won't get crisp, the other clips in my sprite that I have been rotated seems to still be 3d even if i set:this.transformation.matrix3D = null;
I've even tried to removeChild on the clip with z=400 when rotation is 0. And also tried setting matrix3D = null on that clip. how to "get rid" of the 3d of the clip with z=400? Or do I have to move that clip with z away from the clip I'm rotating (other things will mess up =)?

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 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 working with actionscript 3 and have a trouble. I need to write player where users will see text on the front of the movie. The text is text field of type "Dynamic text". The problem is that I need to make this text object transparent for mouse move and clicks.
I tried:
.mouseEnabled=false;
.selectable=false;
when I click on it - it does not pass clicks through it.

how I can have my swf fill the entire browser (as in publish settings 100% w & h etc) but not stretch/distort the text and images in the swf.
There is a site [URL] that does this. It fills the whole screen yet when you resize, the objects do not become distorted.
I may have the wrong approach with publish settings width & height 100%??
