Flex - Setting TextAlign To Centered On A TextArea Trailing Spaces Aren't Used To Determine Centerin?g
Oct 9, 2009
I'm doing something wrong but I have a textarea where I've specified textAlign = center and if I type in text with several trailing spaces, it doesn't count the spaces towards centering the text. If I add another character to the text (after all the spaces) it then all of a sudden centers the line, is this a bug, can anybody think of a good solution?
To replicate:
-Create a textArea
-Set textAlign=center
Run the application and type in something like 'FOOBAR' followed by 10 spaces, note that it centers FOOBAR but stops centering the text while you're typing the spaces Now type another string like 'WTF', now it'll all of a sudden center the whole line.
I've got a textfield with a bunch of punctuation which is always surrounded by spaces. So that for instance: I don't recall saying 'pick up the boot' or 'now is the time'. But it's possible , so I may have. What is the regular expression syntax to get rid of these spaces? I'm working in actionscript. It's actually both leading and trailing, as you can see from the above example.
I need to trim away away all the extra spaces that a users types into my input text field. I know that there are a few ways possible, but i'm not sure how to go about doing it.
I've wrote a custom itemrenderer for a List component (Flex 3.5) which is a VBox with a Label and a TextArea wrapped inside. All works fine so far but I want the TextArea in the first itemrenderer to receive focus so that it instantly becomes editable when tabbing onto the List. Is that possible and if how would I achieve this?
I've already added an event listener that selects the item at index 0 but the textArea in it should also be focussed at that moment _list.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onListFocusIn);
private function onListFocusIn(e:FocusEvent):void { _list.selectedIndex = 0; }
I have a movieclip inside it is a textarea. It is in the libary and the MC is exported for actionscript as "bulletPoint".When trying to set the text I try [code]1119: Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.is there a way to get this to work without giving the textarea a name? I would rather use getChildAt if possible.
I'm trying to compile an SWC file and everything works great until the part where it needs to add components, none of them added added to the .swc file at all.
The original file should be somewhere around 211 KB and when i compile it its only 1.64 KB, after unpacking the .swc and then the .swf inside it i can see that there is no components added at all.
BTW some components showing some errors but i dont think its a reason to not include ALL the components because the errors are like:
Description Resource Path Location Type 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace. XXX.as /XXX/[source path] src/com/XXX line 1469 Flex Problem
What could the problem be? ask me if you need some future info cause i don't really know what to include in here cause there is no code it's only a project with a library.
The below code show the labels from previously selected list?
Steps to reproduce:
Click on List AB Open the list but don't select / click any item Now click on List CD Open the list again and you see A, B as labels instead of C,D but if you click on any item then everything comes properly
Recently downloaded Powerflash (FDT) to compare with Flash Builder, but it doesn't seem to cleverly colour the MXML code, nor provide me with predictive text. Is that only for action script files?
I found some Actionscript which has nice sparkles effects that I would like to use, but it is a mousetrailer. Is there a way for me to remove the mouse trailing effect and instead, have the effects play at specific area on my movie?
Is it possible to configure Flash Builder 4 to indent using spaces instead of tabs?
I've enabled Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Insert spaces for tabs but it still inserts tabs. I've tried editing files with no tabs but it still inserts tabs.
What's strange is that Insert spaces for tabs works in Eclipse but not Flash Builder, which is built on Eclipse. Perhaps there's a bug in Adobe's portion of Flash Builder.
I'm running Flash Builder 4.0.0.272416 on Mac OS X 10.6.
For a multiple choice questions, I would like to format text like this :

I tried with 3 labels in horizontal layout for each lines but it doesn't work for the third case.Now I use tabStops for alignment, it work well, but I can't find how to replace spaces by dots in a proper way.
I'm feeling overgoogled atm, but still can't find any solution. I have font "Futura" with "Condensed Medium" style, actually 4 styles - "Medium, Italic, Condensed Medium, Condensed ExtraBold". However, when I embed it at runtime, it embeds just "Medium" style of font.
Embedding with code: PHP Code: [Embed(systemFont="Futura", fontName="PreloaderFont", fontStyle="Condensed Medium", mi
I need to remove some redundant ' 's from the end of a csv I'm importing before it divides the lines up into an array (otherwise I get extra empty rows).
I am trying to rotate a centered container from it's center. The problem with this code is when I use the rotatePicture method, it doesn't rotate from the center, instead it rotates from the box's top-left corner. Here's the code...
I have a Flex app. and have a top banner where I have one graphic I want left aligned, one graphic I want to hug to the right, then some text I want always centered in between the two. Which layout do I use to do this?
This task doesn't seem too tough, but it has been blocking me for the last couple hours. I am doing a stacked bar chart, and I want the labels to be horizontally and vertically centered within each Bar Segment. The labels are set to be "inside". Such, you can easily center the label horizontally by setting label-align:middle, but there doesn't seem to be anything that can handle the vertical aspect.
Next approach was to create a custom component of the Bar Chart, but that go extremely messy when I was messing with the rendering functions. I thought it would be just modifying this line: v.labelY=v.y + barSeries.seriesRenderData.renderedYOffset - barSeries.seriesRenderData.renderedHalfWidth; but it hasn't worked. Attached is what the bar chart looks like now. And just to clarify, I would like these labels(manual in the picture) to be vertically centered.
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).
If you have two text areas with different styles (fontFamily, weight, color etc) and you copy text from one to the other it also copies the style from the originating text area. Is there any slick way to prevent that?
Here is a sample of code that will illustrate the problem. Type some text in the top box and some text in the bottom, then copy some characters from the top box to the bottom. I'm not using htmltext.[code]...
Flex Effects include "isPlaying" property to check whether Effect is currently playing or not. But is there a way to find out what is the direction of playback (whether the play was started with playReversedFromEnd)?
When one call Clipboard.generalClipboard.getData() in ActionScript outside of Event.PASTE processing function it fails with following message. The Clipboard.generalClipboard object may only be read while processing a flash.events.Event.PASTE event. Even if I dispatch Event.PASTE event and call this function within event handler it still fails. How does it determine which event is currently being processed?
Ref: spark.components.ButtonBar. In the spark ButtonBar's mouseOver event, how do you determine which of the several buttons the mouse is hovering over? There is, of course, no selected index at this juncture. If it makes a difference, my ButtonBar is not defined in MXML but is instantiated in ActionScript and an ArrayList is assigned to the dataProvider property of my ButtonBar instance.
Is there a way to take a compiled SWF file and figure out how much of it's size is used by code and how much is assets (images, etc)? I'd like to see if I can get my Flex SWF smaller but I'm unsure what's taking up the most space.
I wanted to know which event determines if an external video is loaded (using Action Script 3, Flex SDK 3.4 compiler and FlashDevelop -VideoEvent is not present here-).
I'm using a flash.media.video component
I've tried with NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS and "NetStream.Buffer.Full" but it does not seem to work.
I am working on a Flex Front End at the moment, and have been using the Parsley framework for passing messages/events around.
I was wondering if there is a simple way for a function (in this case, an event's constructor) to obtain a reference to the object which called it?
This is to ensure that a certain event that I am defining can only be dispatched by one specified class. My thinking is to check the caller of the constructor somehow, and throw an error if it is not of the correct type.
