I basically want to make things easier by just looping LinkButtons instead of making textfields because the linkbuttons have the rollovers already programmed.
But I have a lot of text and it just keeps going. I want it to wrap like I can do with textfields.[code]...
I am trying to create textfields on the fly that wrap the text they contain. I am using the following code but it is not working well. The text within the textfield is low and some of it is cut off.(Easy to see if I put a border around the textfield.) What's my bext solution to create a textfield which perfectly fits the text it contains.
var caption="someText";
thumbTitleTextFormat=new TextFormat();
thumbTitleTextFormat.font="exportedArialFont";
thumbTitleTextFormat.align="center";

I'm making an app where I have LinkButtons controlling aViewStack. In addition to the ViewStack they also fire offadditional functions. I have added event listeners for the
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overHandler);
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outHandler);
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, downHandler);

I'm just learning about Flex and I'm loving it. Unfortunatly I still have to make the decision on which RIA technology to use and its dependent on, among other things, from the following case: How can we wrap a java applet around a Flex application? More specifically, I would like to wrap/integrate NASA's World Wind applet in a Flex panel, similar to what Adrew Trice did with the Google Earth API.
An alternative would be id Flex would support direct access to the 3D hardware through OpenGL or DirectX. But I do not think that that is the case yet, not even through AIR.
I am trying to wrap some text with a component but can not figure out how to align them correctly. Here is what I am looking for:If you have not entered your credentials, enter your credentials by clicking Set Credentials.
The "If you have not entered your credentials, enter your credentials by clicking" is a string.The "Set Credentials" is a button so it can be clicked by the user.I tried putting the string in a textarea which wrapped the text but could not get the button to horizontally align with the text. I also tried adding them both with Tile, then I do not get proper wrapping.

In flex, I have HBox in which I have loaded an image. I want to wrap text around it. Hence, there would be an image on right and text will be on left. After the image is cleared, text will be displayed 100% of the width. How can I achieve it?
View 1 RepliesI create various movieClips with TextFields in them using the following function.
function AddLabel(Label,L) // create a MovieClip with a Text Field.
{
obj = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc" + L,L);[code].....
Lets say that I use the above function with the following statement:
JimMC = AddLabel("JimVision",1);
Then I try to assign a string to the above movieClip with some embedded html like so:
JimMC.txt.htmlText = "This is my test < a href='http://bogus.com'>link</ a>.";
When I try to run the above the results come out blank. When I list my variables I do see that my TextField is being assign the text and html code. What I also notice is that the textWidth and textHeight value become zero.why my results are blank? Why do the textWidth and textHeight values become zero?
i'm using this code
Code:
txts = new Array(title,title2);
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
{
txts[i].text=raiz.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.childNodes[0];
}
But that does not work...Title and title 2 are two dynamic textfield that i've created in my scene! The problem seems to be the declaration...Does flash allow casting? cuz i tried to cast the "TextField" option and that didn't work as well.
I have a list of names in a database and I want to pull these names and put them in text fields that will change colors on rollover states.
I get the names all pulled from the database and put into text fields dynamically. One thing I ran into is trying to do the rollover states.
Do I need to create different TextField names for each name and also the same for the TextFormat?

I'm interested to create textFields dynamically, but I don't know how to make this code working, can someone please help me to understand what do I have to put in my code at line 4 in the brackets ?? in order it to work.btw: if the variable "losingdate" in my code is achieved from asp file, is this line: this.New1.text = losingdate; is a valid thing to do ??
for(i=1; i < 5; i++) {
this.createTextField("New" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0 , 0, 100, 20);
this.New1.border = true;
this.(New+i).text = losingdate;
??????
}
The standard Flex button does not allow the Label Text to word wrap. I read in the internet that there are some undocumented ways to handle this but I did not get them to work.
View 2 RepliesI have a HBox and I dynamically add Buttons into it. I want to distribute such buttons horizontally, however I would like to place there on more rows if there is not anymore horizontal space, instead of seeing the scrolling bar.How can I do that ?
<mx:HBox id="tagsPopup" visible="false" horizontalAlign="center" width="100">
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag1" />
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag2" />
<mx:LinkButton label="Tag3" />

I'm working with a LinkBar component with a dataprovider that changes dynamically. Users can add and delete items from the LinkBar using an admin tool.
The problem is if the user adds many items in the LinkBar its width increases until it shows a scrollbar in my container.
I would like it to work so that when the user adds items, the LinkBar width is not changed but the height of the component increases instead and the additional buttons "wrap" around to another row.
I want to populate the stage with a list of dynamic text fields with individual names, something like pg4_txt1, pg4_txt2, pg4_txt3. I'm a novice at flash, I tried creating variables with a while loop, but I just haven't got the grasp of it.
Here's some kind of weird pseudo code to explain what I want to do:
var leading:Number = 15;
var i:Number = 0;
while (i<14) {

I want to create a custom class that will create textfields and return them to other classes, but it seems i cant get it working.First i created this custom class named "FormatText" extending Sprite class.Through constructor parameters i pass all the things i need to create a textfield and at the end i put it on the display list using addChild.If i do by this way and i create an istance of FormatText adding it to the display list, my textfield appears, but the problem is that i don't have full control of it, because this new textfield created is still considerated as FormatText's child, so if i try to change some textfield parameters, nothing happens.
Just an example:
var txt:FormatText = new FormatText(param1, param2, param3, etc.).
addChild(txt).

in AS3, How can I dynamically create TextFields and still be able to access them individually?for example, a for/next loop creates 3 textFields:
for (var num:Number = 0; num<3; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField;
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}
now say later on, I want to change the text of one of the textfields:
txtFld.text = 'This is the new Text';
The problem is, in the variable list, there is only one txtFld, the last one created. How can I access the other textFields?
i am using the createtextfield method to create textfields in my swf, but i can't see them i can copy paste the content of them, and the things related to them work properly, but they won't appear in my swf. i thought they were underneath some image, but when i switch off (_alpha=0) the image, there is nothing. i also have an attachmovie in the same movieclip i create textfileds in, but the clip attached is visible.here's the code i am using:

View 1 RepliesI have a Spark horizontal group (s:HGroup) in Flex with a specified width.But all labels outside the group are hidden (after the 100 pixels).
<s:HGroup width="100">

(this is an example, I'm adding elements to the HGroup in Actionscript, not knowing how many) So how could I wrap the elements inside a HGroup to a new line when there is an overflow?

What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.
I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.
//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:

I have a sprite on which I have added two textfields side by side, horizontally. I have set the buttonmode of sprite = true.
