i have asked this question before and it was closed because i was unable to provide the language it was written in. currently i am looking at these AS3 codes and the variables are prefixed with _ , may i know why? is it because of a convention, if so , why put a _? why do you even need to put a _?

There doesn't seem to be any clearcut instructions on how to underline text in Flash. I did a search and there seems to be many solutions by adding code, etc. I tried using the Line Tool to underline some text and it shows up fine on the stage but when I preview it, the line does not show up.
how to underline text for someone new to Flash?
So if I want to imitate a link in as3, when I set
myFormat.underline = true;
the underline is directly underneath my text. Is there any way I can set the spacing of that underland?
I am trying to something very simple but I can't find an option to do that. I have a button that updates the ElementFormat, it can take care of bold and italic but the problem is underline. I can't find an option to set it as "underlined" or "not underlined".

View 6 RepliesHow do I underline dynamic text in Actionscript 2.0?
I tried wrapping the text with <u> and </u> but it didn't work, so I guess that's just for Actionscript 3.0.
I have created a RSS feed viewer, parsing the RSS feed with actionscript 3.0 and viewed on the stage in dynamic text boxes. The text in these dynamic boxes is scripted to link to web addresses contained in the RSS feeds in the same node as the text being displayed. So far so good. Now I need the text in these boxes to act as if they were HTML links and show an underline and color change when rolled over and clicked on.

View 14 RepliesI have just a simple code
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tlf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlf.x = 20;
tlf.y = 20;
tlf.width = 400;[code]....
and want the link underline to be removed and in best case format the line.
Its an mx:Text object. (The Text object is actually being used as a mask so don't know if that's the problem.) If underline is set with the <u> tag in Text.htmlText, or Text.textField.setTextFormat, the underline thickness is always just one pixel which is not acceptable. (There are other problems with <u> so I'm limited to using setTextFormat currently.)
Can the thickness of an underline be set through CSS? (textField.styleSheet, etc.)
I may have another problem as I already use setTextFormat extensively, and the documentation says you can't use textField.setTextFormat if you use textField.setStyleSheet.
I primarily need the underline to simulate correctly the look for an anchor tag.
I have some text in a Flex 3 application defined as follows
<mx:Text id="textbutton"
text="Link Text"
click="doSomething()"
[Code]....
It does not seem to work however as the text does not underline when I mouse over it.
Is there a way to do this purely through CSS or do I need to programmatically capture the mouse events and set the styles accordingly (seems like overkill)?
I use the setStyle("textDecoration", "underline"); for showing an underline on text hover. This works fine but the underline is touching the text itself. Is it possible to put some spacing between text and the underline?
Update: 02/072012 I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 so I cant use the spark solution for now. Im using Label component and setting the textfield's style.
I am very new to flash, but definitely not new to programming. Having a little trouble getting started, guess there is a steep learning curve... I want to make a simple rectangle with text in it, and on mouse over the text should be underlined.
I made a rectangle. I right clicked it and made it a symbol (button). I gave the button instance name "butt". I double clicked the button and added text. I made the text dynamic text and gave it the instance name "buttText". Then I got out of the symbol editor and went back to the main scene. In my first keyframe, I added this [code]...
I have a text box that will be updated by my client. I want them to be able to include links in their text, but I really don't want to require my "not-so-computer-savy" client to have to remember to type this out everytime they need to add a link[code]...
View 2 RepliesBasically I discovered its no problem at all to draw lines or shapes or whatever directly onto an mx:Text object using its graphics property (Text.graphics.lineTo, etc.). If just displaying that text, then any such drawn lines are displayed as well. However, if that Text object is used as a mask, then any drawn lines on that text object are merely ignored when the mask is rendered. And its hard for me to see the reason behind this, if anyone else is able to. I mean you're designating the Text object itself as the mask. It seems like any visual change to that text object should be part of the mask.

View 2 RepliesHow do variables true/false custom variables work in flash?
For example, what I want to do is create a simple true=false variable that I can call on an if statement later.
For example:

I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.
Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:

But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
I have some htmlText with a stylesheet applied. Have set text-decoration: underline to the links but there is no space between the text and the underline--the underline is stuck right on to the bottom of the characters. Makes reading the underlined text very hard. Any trick to making this render properly or are we just stuck with crappy underlines in Flash?
View 3 RepliesI used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

View 1 RepliesI have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.
View 2 RepliesHow can I make a bunch of variables from a for loop. for example for (var i=0; i<total; i++) {var bunch(i);}. that i make a bunch of variables named bunch1, bunch2, bunch3. I keep getting errors. I program and use so many different languages that I dont know if that can be done with AS3. my only other alternative i can think of is to create some sort of event dispatcher object array. but I dont know how to get them all to send events to one listener with there index number.

I'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
There is a bird, and you control its upwards movement with a key. It has thrust, gravity, it works fine. The problem is I have a bunch of icicles that come at the bird that he is supposed to avoid. I tried this first with math random to use as an x coordinate and than move across the screen, but the icicles had the same x-coordinates sometimes. I tried does not equal(!=) but that doesn't work. I made an array and each number that came out of the array I assigned a different variable. This works fine. I put this variable into the x-coordinate such as mc.x=((n)*60)+480. I did this for five different icicles. All their differnt variables have a different value, and I put them into the same function for each individual video clip, but they still don't go to the right coordinate. Here is the test code just for the initial coordinate of each icicle before it moves...////////////////////////////Quote:
