Flash :: Fl.controls.TextArea Not Scrolling All The Way Down?
Apr 26, 2011
I have a TextArea control, and sliding the scrollbar all the way down always doesn't show all the text.I think it has something to do with me changing the typeface, because I noticed that when I do the setStyle to change the textFormat style, the textHeight value doesn't change.Has anyone ran into something like this? can I at least access the TextArea sources so I can fix this? Or is there a way to don't know, subclass it and fix it kinda easily?you can check it here: http:/[url].... if you see the scrolling texts, you can try scrolling all the way down, and then selecting the text and pulling farther down, sometimes it'll show more text. Sorry about the spanish.This is an example of a text that usually fails to scroll all the way down[code]..........

I'm pretty familiar with Actionscript, and this one has me completely stumped. What I'm trying to do is to prevent people from scrolling a TextArea with their mouse wheel, as the TextArea is inside of a ScrollPane, and at the moment scrolling one will scroll the other (double scrolling). Initially I tried[code]...

I need the ability to create a TextArea entity in a constrained area (i.e., it is located at x and y and is w pixels wide and h pixels high and have that never change.), containing a proportional width font. As such, no 'num char entry limit' strategy is feasible. They need to be able to fill the entire area, and if that means 1,000 period '.' characters, or 200 '#' or "W' characters, then so be it.
The two lines following this one consist of 30 periods followed by 30 Ws.
..............................
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I cannot limit a user to 30 characters. They need to be limited by using a TextArea that will let itself be filled until full, and then refuse further input until space is created by removing existing content. I then need to print that TextArea _as rendered on the user's screen_. Any 'scrolled' lines would be unprintable, and therefore the user's entry must be limited BEFORE any scrolling occurs, or contrariwise, when scrolling occurs, the last entered content would need to be removed and the entity forced to un-scroll. I can program this. It won't be elegant, and in fact will be quite stupid, as any programming where a change event is called with each keystroke or paste and then conditions tested is inefficient, wasteful, and well.

There's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.

How do you scroll an editable TextArea (Flex Hero) on a touch device? I am referring to the situation where the text does not fit in the TextArea height.When I try to tap and drag the text gets selected and not scrolled... Am I missing a something here? I am using verticalScrollPolicy = on (also tried auto).I am testing the code in the Blackberry Playbook simulator (my targeted device for my app).

A little much put in the title, but my question is just that. I have the following AS3 code for my textarea...
addChild(Texta1);
Texta1.alpha = 0;
Texta1.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;
[Code].....
Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).

This is a repost, but I've still not figured out a solution. I have a Flash movie that appears on a webpage. The Flash contains scrolling content ( scrollpane, text field, whatever).
The containing webpage is tall, and therefore also has scrollbars. My Problem: When users try to use the MouseWheel to scroll through my Flash scrolling data, the browser page scrolls as well. It's very annoying.
I would like to be able to have the MouseWheel scroll my Flash scrolling content when it's over the flash, but scroll the webpage when it's not over the Flash.
Does anybody know a way to supress wheel-based browser page-scrolling while my mouse is over a Flash movie??? Is there a way to eat/stop propagation, whatever, of the wheel event in the brwoser, either from Flash or from Javascript?

While the question may seem fairly basic I seem to be at a loss to actually find anything that fits my needs, which are:
Skinnable (although not 100% required) Controllable through javascript (start, stop, change track)Event triggers for custom functions (on track finish mainly) Actual documentation - rather that 'it can do this, but we wont tell you how' I've tried many of the free and quite a few demo's of the pay for ones. Wimpy Wasp seemed to be the closest to what I need but there is an obsession there with using a custom Windows app to set it up which is impossible as the files are provided dynamically by the sites users and it doesn't look like they want you to be able to create the code yourself.

I know the title may be funny for you but I am actually facing it. My page has a checkbox and textbox. I have a flash control (not developed by and so I don't have it's code) and a button inside that control. When the button is clicked inside flash control it causes redirection(or may be postback) to the same page but the values typed the user in textbox and checkbox are no longer available. They are lost! How can I handle this stuff? I am pulling my hair apart. I don't even the source code of that control

What i need to do, is to be able to scale and distort and image's shape in the swf file.
So built-in to the SWF file would be a photo of whatever, and i want the user to be able to grab the corners of the image and change it's dimensions. I want it to work the same way that the 'Distort' function works in Photoshop.
For those of you who don't know, i'll try to explaim it briefly. So your photo has 4 sides and 4 corners, you grab a corner and drag it, it keeps a straight line between the sides, but all it does and change the perspective pretty much, as though you were looking at it from a different angle.
Just like that, so it's still a 4 sided shape but you move the corners... and it changes the shape of the image... is this possible to do? So i don't want to do this inside of Flash but in the SWF output, so anyone who goes to the site can do it.

I'm a .Net developer who is trying to mend my evil ways and learn the Adobe development cycle--so if this a really obtuse question--please forgive me. I was once a graphic artist and I am very familiar with some Adobe products. I am having trouble understanding the workflow as it pertains to creating custom controls, or even reskinning controls and then using them in Flash builder. I haven't really dug into Catalyst, but I am comfortable in Flash Professional and I would like to believe I could take designs from my employers graphic artists, created in Illustrator, and bring the artwork into Flash professional and create custom components, or more likely skinned components, in Flash and export them for use in Flash Builder.
Our goal is to allow designers to create vector graphics skins for controls and applications in Illustrator (or possibly Fireworks) and to be able to apply those skins to controls and custom components in Flash Builder for deployment to the web or the desktop in an Adobe Air application. Ideally the designer would be able to update the designs easily at a later point.
Flash allows for skinning to be done fairly easily within the Flash application, but I have had some problems exporting controls or even implimenting them in Flash builder. The only "video" on that workflow used a movie clip from Flash and set it's "isButton" property to true in Flash Builder...so if a designer built a simple button and designed the states in Flash, I would have to convert it to a movieclip?
If I start with a Flex ready component from the "AeonGraphical" library, and apply a new skin, how do I successfully import that into Flash Builder?
- MX skins can be created in Illustrator and Fireworks and imported into Flash Builder however the format is obsolete and the designs rasterizes and are unacceptable even before scaling.
- Illustrator files can be saved in FXG format and dropped into an assets package in Flash Builder. These images can then be easily used in FB; however mapping them to a control requires each state to be a separate image and to be manually wired to the states of a skin. This is method of skinning is feasible but not ideal...Am I missing a step or improperly importing the files?
- Illustrator files can be saved as an FXG file and imported into Catalyst. In catalyst the artwork can be associated with a control type and the states of the control can be edited in using illustrator. The catalyst file (FXP) can then be imported into Flash Builder as a project which will provide a skin for that type of control. Remaining problems include scaling (skin doesn't stretch) and referencing the skin outside the project.
So that leaves me with Flash Professional as the seemingly most competent tool for creating & skinning custom controls. Using the very detailed and helpful online documentation on customizing controls (found here) I can create custom skins and have no problems implementing artwork from Illustrator--for an application authored in Flash Professional (not so much for Flash Builder).Catalyst can let you create "one off" costum controls easily, but creating one custom skin for several buttons (for example) is not so intuative and pulling it into Flash builder yeilds mixed results...
Flash is in and of itself a rich IDE and could be used to create an event driven application for AIR, but its not really geared to that user triggered, event-driven development model. I have been able to adjust my mindset to create successful prototypes of form based/even driven application that take advantage of Flash's powerful features, but some of my coworkers are having trouble adjusting their Microsoft Mindset (despite exposure to the remarkably "derivitaive" Expression studio) and strongly prefer the Flash builder coding environment.
Are there any resources; web pages with examples or step by step walk throughs, or videos which follow a process of taking a design from a grapjics application and using it to create a custom skin--and applying it in Flash Builder? The process is fairly straitforwards in Flash Professional--but my team and I are having less success in Flash Builder.
As a longtime user of Adobe products, I have by nature of that association become the inhouse Adobe Evangelist and not only have I taken the position seriously--I have managed to convince upper management to abandon WPF and Pyxus (for mobile applications) and develop AIR applications which will span platforms and lend elements to mobile AIR applications. They have even initiated a program which will likely result in our delivering Andriod based tablets to our dealer networks preloaded with AIR applications for business.
While I know know this is all "do-able" I am working double overtime to become competent enough to make this happen...but the workflow between Flash Builder and Flash is only sparringly covered online and the information lacks details...I have found that browsing the online videos sometimes turns up better results than searching (doing "Google Gymnastics")--for example Flash Downunder series has great stuff that doesn't always show up when searching Google...And we joined Lynda.com, and while they have lots of great stuff, they need to develop more stuff on CS5 specifically...
Where can I find information on creating/applying custom skins from Ai to Flash Builder and all points between? (I'll buy any recommended books as well...) Of course we have agressive deadlines and unfortunately there is no experienced Flex/Air developer on our staff (yet)...The "Classroom in a Book" series on Flash and Catalyst have only just started shipping...is that where I should look? Are there any online resources that address both skinning and creating custom components for AIR applications in Flash and/or Catalyst?
