Flash :: Sifr 3 Barebones Test - Unusual Line Breaks?
Nov 13, 2009
I want to use a non-standard font on the web in a various combinations of font-color and font-size without having to assign individual configs for each. So far sIFR seems to pick up font-size no problem. but not font color, so I am working on a work around.
The problem I am running into: sIFR is breaking text to the next line without a linebreak <BR> being present.
[Code]...
For the sake of the project I am working on, it looks like setting the standard to block level elements only with font-sizes of 18px and above will be the route taken to keep from holding it up further, but I still have personal interest and would like to pursue understanding sIFR and the line breaking further.
I am new to Stack Overflow and am concerned this may be an 'extended discussion' which the FAQ says is beyond the scope of this site.

So I've looked this up in a few different places, and the only answer I've seen is "style the span.sIFR-alternate element". Problem is, if I apply any styles to that element that will actually have it appear & be placed correctly, it shows up alongside the sIFR text when FlashBlock isn't present (e.g. in Safari/IE) or is disabled. Here's the default styles for .sIFR-alternate:

Is it possible to load a text file using line breaks as a delimeter rather than having a &var= at the beginning of each line? Like by a for instance? I have a text file with about 1000 lines that I need to load/display.

I'm attempting to add line breaks after the code I've included below. I know that I need to add a " " after the line of text, but I haven't had any success.
textField.appendText(""+ bldg.S11[i].Title.text())textField.appendText("Square Footage: "+ bldg.S11[i].SF.text())textField.appendText("Tenant: "+ bldg.S11[i].Tenant.text())textField.appendText("Status: "+ bldg.S11[i].Status.text())

The Message is build from 5 textfields, each with one paragraph.
I need to send this message with online between each paragraph. The problem is that I can't add lines to code using code.
how can I do this inside flash?

I'm importing text in from an xml file and i'm using htmlText to try to keep some styling with tags. I have both the regular and bold face font embedded, and the bolding works fine. The problem is that it ads spaces around the words in bold like a paragraph indent and then makes a line-break after them. What's going on, is there a way to fix?
fromxmlText.htmlText = theXML.contenttext;
If I pull the text in from a txt file it will work fine, but taking it out of an xml file causing funky formatting.

I have a TLF editable field in a(n) swf file. Text entered there gets sent to a php page where everything is processed. I had the behavior set for multiline, but just realized that if someone hits return and keeps typing, no break is displayed (not even a space). I've tried using nl2br() in the php when it grabs the POST variable from flash, but that doesn't work. I don't know how flash handles the carriage return, so I don't know how to handle it on the php side either.

I have a designed a Flash based interface to send email via PHP.
I capture the variables in Flash using:
var my_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
my_lv.name=name_txt.text;
my_lv.message=message_txt.text;
[Code].....
Everything is working fine, but when the message is received all line breaks entered in Flash message are deleted making the message one long line. Is there something I need to write into my actionscript/php to allow the message to display properly?

I just started using TLF text and it's interesting. I have this issue however. I made an swf to demonstrate the problem and you can try it here: [URL] But this is the problem: I have an input textfield (type input) and output textfield (dynamic not selectable) and eventlisteners on the input fields. It seems like the TLF does not register the enter-key. Try it for yourself via the link above.My code is:

I'm using TLF to lay out a dictionary entry. It's working fairly well, but I need finer grained control of layout than I'm able to achieve through setting style properties on FlowElements, primarily for horizontal spacing and setting padding on SpanElements independently of their parents.
The solution that seems most promising is separating the various elements of the entry into separate containers and flowing the text through them by progressively adding new containers and ContainerControllers for each new element with size set to their content bounds so that the text will flow into each new container.
This ALMOST works, but the text will only flow correctly into the next container if an extra line break is inserted between the two sections of text that should go to different containers. Without the line break, the containers are sized correctly, but no text displays.
In these examples I've added borders to the container sprites so you can see where they're being drawn. Aside from the line break, the text is exactly the same. The syllable field is a SpanElement inside a ParagraphElement. The pronunciation label and text are separate SpanElements inside another ParagraphElement.
[Code]...
As you can see, the pronunciation doesn't show unless a line break is added after the text, but the alignment is then off. No combination of line breaks seems to align them correctly.
Any ideas? Are these bugs in TLF? Should I try a different method? I would really like to have all the text selectable as one unit, and I love the better rendering and control that TLF offers, but I also need the layout flexibility. I suppose it's possible that I could hack something together like this with line breaks and positioning offsets, but it certainly wouldn't be pretty (or maintainable).

For some reason or another, after a </strong> or </em> tag, flash inserts a line break after it.
So it is like this:
This is some BOLD
text and this is some italic
text.
When it should look like this: This is some BOLD text and this is some italic text.

I am developing an admin tool for a client. There is a textarea in the tool that the client will type out a description for the video he wants to upload. This description sometimes might have a few paragraphs. I am pushing the data from the textarea into an HTML file and saving on the server so that it integrates with his site. My question is, how do I detect the line breaks in the text area and change them to HTML breaks <br> once the user submits the data?
example:
Hello, this is a test.
should be turned into:
this is a test.<br><br>?

I've finally got XML information coming into my text field. Only problem now is that there for every line break in the text, Flash reads it as two line breaks, for example:
XML:
Line 1
Line 2
Flash:
Line 1
Line 2
I found that you can just use the <br> tag in the original text or if I'm using actionscript to input the text I can use or but what if I'm using text generated by a CMS which my client needs to be able to use?

I know you can identify line breaks when working with text files by checking the character equivalent, but is this possible to do with htmlText?
I am making a text editor for my client and I am using the textArea component as the input field with the data stored in an XML. All's well, except for the line break--the textArea is rendered as htmlText so that the client will be able to see the changes made instantly. By default, it works, but the spacing is all screwed up (indents, double-spaces at times), so I decided to condense the whitespace. With this on, it gets rid of the spacing issues since the html is being rendered exactly as coded. The thing is, hitting enter in the textArea does not add <br /> to the htmlText code.
Do i need to overwrite the Enter key with a custom function that inserts a ine break when using the textArea, or is there a way to detect and convert these line breaks in htmlText?

Previously I had posted a thread about trying to format and xml file with line breaks and indents when writing XML files using the xml.sendAndLoad method.I was looking for a way to write the xml like this[code]...
I thought I had solved this by converting the XML to a str in which the line breaks and indents were added in the appropriate places, but as yet I haven't been able to write it to an XML file. I can write a text file using LoadVars, but this isn't useful as the formatting isn't preserved.

I have a site that compiles to Actionscript 2.0 and Flash player 8. This site utilises XML output from ASP.Net driven database pages. The problem I have is basically that where I have some tabstops set, in certain cases, where the text starting from the first tab stop is over a certain length an unwanted line break is output just before the last word in the entry. (I know it's always the last word since if I put another word on the end of the string the word that was originally on the new line is back in it's proper place - so it doesn't appear to be length related).
Effectively, what I want is as follows:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3
header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
What I'm getting is something like this:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3 with a long
description header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
The Xml I am loading is as follows (This has been anonymiezd and the angle brackets changed to '[]')
[?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?]
[config scrollPosition="right" styleSheet=".stylesheetscv.css"]
[text][textformat tabstops = "50,540,590"]:[tab /]T[tab /]T[tab /]T[tab /]:[br /]
[list_by]CV Entries By Date[/list_by]
[Code] .....
There are appropriate closing tags further down the file. The CSS that relates to this is:
headertext {
display: inline;
color: #008000;
} itemheader {
display: inline;
[Code] .....
In order to get the CSS to overide the settings of the dynamic text field I use an empty TextFormat object tFormat. The XML is loaded with ignoreWhite set to true. Or can I not see the wood for the trees?

I need to send the contents of an input textfield by GET to a php script. The problem is the input must be multiline, but cannot allow line breaks orelse it messes up the GET query. Is there anyway for me to replace the line breaks with a html encoded line break (I tried restricting the textfield to specific characters, but the return still caused line breaks)?
