Flash :: Rotating A Text Field?
Oct 2, 2010
I am working on a Flash Project in which i have to rotate a text field.I am Rotating the text field using this function
**function rotateAroundCenter(ob:*, angleDegrees)
var m:Matrix = ob.transform.matrix;
m.tx -= point.x;
m.ty -= point.y;
m.rotate(angleDegrees*(Math.PI/180));
[Code]...
I Have also povided the dragging feature so that one can drag the text field. The problem is when i rotate the text field say 45 degrees and then i drag it to other position now if i rotate the text field again it is not rotating about its center or origin, it rotates about some other point that is calculated by the same method ---mc.x+ mc.width / 2,mc.y+ mc.height

I have a question concerning the use of the matrix objecThe following code works well to rotate the sprite from its center if its x and y properties don't change.However, if I drag and drop the clip somewhere else after having rotated it, and then add a new rotation, it keeps rotating from the previous rotation point. Even if I add point =new oint(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2); in a function that is called at the end of the drag and drop, the rotation point remains the same.So,how to update the position of the matrix rotation point if the x and the y of the clip change on the scene after a rotation?
Code:
var myspr=new Sprite();myspr.x=100;myspr.y=100;addChild (myspr);var point:Point=new Point(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2);rotateAroundCenter(myspr,45);

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.

What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.

I've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field. But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
for (var i:uint = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++){ trace (this.getChildAt(i).name + ' type:' + typeof (this.getChildAt(i))+ ' ' + this.getChildAt(i));}
it returns:
instance370 type:object [object Shape]mediaImportName001 type:object [object TextField]mediaFiletype001 type:object [object TextField]
How do I get Flash to give me the text in mediaImportName001?
It's bizarre - this.getChildAt(i).name
from above gives me...
mediaImportName001 ,
yet
trace (["mediaImportName"+thisNum].name);
returns undefined (thisNum represents an increment I use to name multiple clips and text fields, and in this case trace(thisNum); returns 001)

I've been trying to build a user interface that would allow someone to change the content of a dynamic field (loaded from a text file) using a rich text editor. However the editor inserts inline css style tags like <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> which Flash aparently can't understand. If the editor were instead to insert the following: <span class="ul"> where the stylesheet defined it as:

I am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.

I have made a movie clip which I export to ActionScript 3.
In this movie clip I have drawn a text field (area? well TEXT) using the plain "Text Tool".
After selecting the text, and after I have entered "0" to be displayed, I edit its properties. It's Instance Name, defined at the very top of the list I have written "score". The text engine is TLF Text and the text type "Read only".
When I have made a instance of the movie clip using AS3 I can't get the value of the text instance named "score" - when calling something like trace(getChildByName("score")) in the constructor I just get null.
I want to be able to get the value of the text "score", and I would also like to change its value.
Just how do I get the value from ActionScript? I don't want to have to create the text progamatically and position it, and I doubt that I have to.

Trying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.
The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:
this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()
I know I need to do more than just change it to ".html" instead of ".text" and have tried a couple things, but nothing seems to work.
Code:
//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML ();
myXML.load(newXml);

I have a dynamic textbox, left justified, characters embedded, set on whole pixel x and y, 266 wide and 310 high. I then made that into a movieclip with registration at the center. I then use code to flip it on the Y axis. The text is clear before the first flip when you test the movie. Flipped 180 on the Y axis so that it is backwards it is fuzzy. Flip it 180 again so it is back in its starting position it is still fuzzy. I have tried doing it without code, just flip by entering a value in the transform panel for the Y axis, it still goes fuzzy.
I need the text on the backside of my panel to be clear. go here to see the full panel in action [URL] click through to "work" on the menu. I am attaching a very simple FLA with a flipping textbox mc and a plain textbox on stage to show how the text should look

I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s
