Flex :: Use AppendText Property Of Text Area Returns Error
Dec 10, 2011
I have a textArea in my main application as[code]...
I have another mxml file in which I access that textArea as[code]...
I am able to append text via following command which does not seem a good option or is it? Won't following line of code by inefficient if size of text in the Text Area increases considerably?
I need to know can we add image in TextArea through StyleableTextField htmlText because my app for device Tablet. (Not possible to use TextLayoutFramework) or Anyother possible to add image into any text component?
I am using a custom itemEditor for my DataGrid.The itemEditor has a simple TextField as a component.But when ever i am clicking the cell i am getting an error as [code]My Opinion is that the error is coming for the "text" field. But i havn't accessed "text" field or used it anywhere in my code.
I just want to do not allow editing at some area of text area in flex. How it can be done?let suppose text length in text area is 50 characters, i want to allow editing if cursor position is less than 15, and if cursor position in text area is greater than 15 it should not allow user to add more text in text area.If user press any key it should not add any character in text area.[code]
it has been a while before i did something withactionscript again, but does anyone know if there has been some changes about loadingexternal text files in Flash?I tried loading an external text file from a online webserverthat worked fine. But now i wantedto move the text file to a different webserver and i got thiserror:
I have been developing an application(a website to be more precise) which consists of a flex front end which is constantly sending and receiving data from the back end which is programmed in java. The connection between the two components is being done through blazeds. This worked fine while I was running it locally, however when I uploaded both sides of the application to a tomcat server(online) the following error is being returned when a connection between the components should occur:URL...I have read around about this error and many seem to getting this error when making connections between different servers, unlike here, where the connection is occurring within the same server.
I'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField(); TF.width = 200; TF.height = 200;
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.
Setting the text property of a flex DateField makes the selectedDate property of that DateField go to null.I need to set the text property so that I can use a particular format (DD-MMM-YYYY).
I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.
I fixed the last error message, but I still cant get the xml to load, I am getting this error message now. I am trying to load the title of a video reel onto a button and load a corresponding move, 1 of 4...getting this error now.
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property text on String. at main2_fla::MainTimeline/setVids() at main2_fla::MainTimeline/xmlLoaded() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
This is the correspoding codeits referring to: function setVids():void { for(var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { var name_txt:String = vidList_XML.vid[i + count].file; var reelTitle = this["vid" + (i + 1)].name; reelTitle.text = name_txt; }}
I am having the: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property text on String.at Function/<anonymous>()and I don't know what i did wrong I am a beginner to actionscript so it might be pretty obvious.
I am trying to make a text editor in Flex. i can move image on mouse click. Problem is it moves with the key up or down handler. But it moves out of text area after the last line in textarea. And it also doesn't move with scroll.
I managed to show the output of a shell command in TextArea of flex by calling following php file via HTTPService and then using the dataprovider attribute of TextArea to show the returned output.
I need to have a Text Area With Line Numbers, & once the Text File is Imported to the Text Area.. the user must be able to select the line numbers & see the filtered output.
I have implemented the same with Numeric steppers. I am in search of an enhanced component.
are there better Advanced Components for Textarea ? Any Advanced Textarea component with built-in Search/Replace/Filter Capabilities ?
So, I've been working on this for a few days and what drives me nuts is this is a simple file with a lot of simple script and I still can't figure out what this error is and how to fix it: Property 0 not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value The script below what we're looking at, everything is drawn with AS3, there are no library objects (save for the font). I sort of understand what the error is saying, but I don't fully understand it or how to fix it.
[Code]....
Edit: I've searched through similar problems, but couldn't find a proper solution.
MCtext is a collection of text with frame labels. It's labeled as MCtext
The menu buttons tell MCtext to play the frame label as the button clicked. This *used to work*, but Flash was laggy as hell so I updated it. Now the same code returns #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MCmenu/itemClicked()
Code: function itemClicked(butn:Event):void { parent.MCtext.gotoAndPlay(SomeArray[butn.currentTarget.label); }
I've tried just using a frame number, but still the same #1009
I've tried the Script Assist to target the MC on the stage: using root.MCtext... still the same #1009 using this.MCtext... returns a #1010
I am trying to find out when a link is 'hovered over' in a text area showing html text. I wonder if listening for a cursor change kind of event might be the way. I can't find anything in the docs.
I want to use an HTTPService to load some data (number of columns and number of rows) which change randomly by a certain frequency I get the string like freq#ncols#nrows#value. How can i display for example: 1000#21#13#2391 that means: in 21 col, 13 row i have the value of 2391 which changes every 1 second.
I'm having trouble figuring out how I should go about making an auto scroll functionality for a text area in Flex.
What I have is a text area that loads text from an XML file at startup, and displays it in a text area. There is also an audio track that is plays along with the text. As the words from the audio file is read out, the corresponding word in the text area is highlighted red. What I want to happen is that if the highlighted word is below the visible range of the text area I want to scroll the scroll bar to adjust accordingly to the selection.
I am kind of puzzled and not sure how to tackle this issue: Got two comboxes with dataproviders. Also, I created a separate index.as in /as folder. I have these two functions:
In my .mxml page, I have : <mx:FormItem label="Property Code:" id="fi_propertyCode" width="100%"> <mx:ComboBox id="propertyCode" width="50%" dataProvider="{qry_communites}" change="showPropertyCode()" /> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Utility Type:" id="fi_utilityType" width="100%"> [Code] .....
I get an error saying Access of undefined property utilityType. The funny thing is I don't get this error for "propertyCode". Moreover, If I copy pasyte showUtilityType() function and put inside my .mxml page, I don't get this error either. Btw. I have : .... In my .mxml page. What should I do? How can I get rid of this error? Why does Flex see propertyCode combobox but not utilityType combobox? I would rather keep index.as as it is.
I'm trying to assemble a header object for an api request. One of the headers is 'Content-Type'. The hyphen is causing a compile error. Flex is giving me:
1050 - Cannot assign to a non-reference value.
I find it spiteful that they enjoy the use of a hyphen in the error message while I hang my head and come here for answers.
