Flex :: Autosize - RichText/RichEditableText Autosizing?

Mar 21, 2011

In the past, I used the flash.text.textField object something like this:

tf = textField();
tf.autoWrap = true
tf.autoSize = "left"
tf.width = 100;

[Code]...

I'm coding this, so if you have some suggestions, please post them in code, not MXML.

but UITextfield is not a TLF component and the example for RichText does not cause the RichText height to grow with the text. What I need is a component that I can set the width, add TLF formatted text and get the height of the component once it has rendered. Just like a TextField does when you add text.

Flex :: Spark TextArea Or RichText Autosize?

Apr 15, 2011

I have done lots of searching on this subject, but it seems what I am finding is either out of date or just does not seem to work.With TextFields in the past, you could set the TextField to a certain width, set wordWrap to true and you would end up with a textfield that changed height according to the text you added.Now I am trying to do this with either the Spark TextArea or RichText.I tried this HeightInLines = NAN, but that seems to be out of date.I also tried this routine:

var totalHeight:uint = 10;
this.validateNow();
var noOfLines:int = this.mx_internal::getTextField().numLines;[code]....

But the mx_internal is not in the Spark components.I am trying to do this with AS3, not MXML.

Flex :: RichText Vs Label Control

Apr 16, 2011

I have a flex project where I uses the spark RichText control quite extensively, there are places where it is possible for me to replace RichText with the Label control - (The rich text occurred due an import from Flash Catalyst). My question is, is there any space/performance advantage in using Label over RichText, since Label seems like a much lighter option, I am building a web app, size matters.

Flex 4 RichEditableText With Right Click Menu?

Sep 13, 2011

I need selectable text that can be copied. Some users are used to copy with Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac), and some are used to right click and select "Copy".

Using s:RichEditableText, there is no "Copy" in right click menu: http://d.pr/xWXW. Using mx:Text, there is "Copy" in right click menu, but it doesn't copy anything: http://d.pr/vtiw

Ctrl+C works for both s:RichEditableText and mx:Text.

Is there a property or something to enable "Copy" in right click menu for s:RichEditableText?

Flex :: RichEditableText Component Not Completely Resetting Its View

Mar 1, 2011

I'm experiencing some strange text rendering behavior in the Spark RichEditableText component.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
[Code] .....

The above application simply navigates through the five sentences in the DATA array (every time the Next button is pressed). For whatever reason, RichEditableText component doesn't completely reset its view (by clearing the previous text) before setting new content. From what I can gather, this faulty rendering is somehow based on the combination of line count and relative width. I also discovered that if I set the width property of the RichEditableText component to an absolute value (say, 100) as opposed to relative (percentage, 100%) the text is rendered correctly. As far as I can see, this behavior is unintended and is, in fact, a bug.

Flex - Possible To Select Text Between Multiple RichEditableText Objects?

Aug 15, 2011

For example, say I have 3 RichEditableText objects and I want to be able to highlight them all together:

<s:RichEditableText id="obj_one" width="100%" text="Click and start dragging the highlight here..." selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />
<s:RichEditableText id="obj_two" width="100%" text="Continue dragging the highlight through this one" selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />
<s:RichEditableText id="obj_three" width="100%" text="and keep going and finish highlighting them all right here" selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />

Is it even possible to make it so all three could be highlighted that way someone could Copy all three at once then past all the text somewhere? I should clarify, The reason they would be like this is because there they are in an itemRenderer so they would each be their own object in each line on the list. It would be nice though if the text could be highlighted and copied like it was all together though. Just imagine the way an end user would expect to be able to drag an highlight any other text in a standard html document to paste elsewhere.

Flex :: RichEditableText SelectionColor - IDE Gives An Error Like This Property Do Not Exist?

Flash :: Insert Text At Cursor In A TLF-based Flex Spark RichEditableText?

Oct 8, 2010

I want to programmatically insert formatted text at the current cursor position in a Flex 4 (Spark) RichEditableText control. I could just modify the .text property But that doesn't allow me to insert formatted text. So I believe I need to interact with either .textFlow or .textFlow.interactionManager somehow? However, TLF is quite complex and I can't find a simple way to do what I want.

IDE :: AutoSizing The Dynamic Text?

Apr 7, 2009

First, let me just show you the project I'm working on. keep in mind that the first name, last name and company name in this animation are actually variable. When one of our clients clicks on the link, they will see their own information in the Flash movie.

[URL]

So, as you can see, I've got the variable in the dynamic text working (we've already had about a hundred customers click on their video to see their own name animated across the screen). But as you can also see in this particular example, the company name goes right off the screen.

I set the text field within the stage, but when I add the actionscript, my_text.autoSize = "left" (or true), the company name goes off to the right as opposed to making the font size smaller to fit inside the stage.

ActionScript 2.0 :: F8: AutoSizing A TextField With A DropShadow Filter?

Mar 1, 2006

I have an input Text Field with the autoSize property set to true, a DropShadow filter, and with a default text value of "Your text here".When the user enters text in the Text Field, and if their entry exceeds the length of the default text, everything typed after that length is reached APPEARS to have been truncated.

However, when I turn the DropShadow off, the TextField expands to the requirements of the newly entered text. This proves that the TextField actually autosized, but just didn't show the additional characters when the DropShadow was applied. I can then turn the DropShadow back on, showing all of the text in the Text Field. how to autoSize a textfield(so that the user can actually see the expanded TextField) when a DropShadow filter has been applied?

Actionscript 3 :: Add RichEditableText Of TextArea?

Sep 11, 2011

I'm developing a Flex/AIR application built entirely in ActionScript -- there's no MXML beyond what was originally auto-created.

I need to dynamically generate some kind of editable text-field with high control over formatting. The TLF text fields all seem great, except that I can't get any of them to render on the screen. Due to the nature of the application, they have to be inside a MovieClip, but since I've read that everything must be a descendant of UIComponent, I use UIMovieClip, which is AddChild'ed to the stage.

I'm about to go crazy here, the whole application is in jeopardy over this. I CAN NOT use MXML, and all the 10,000 examples on the internet are MXML. I need to generate these dynamically. I need to generate upwards of 50 fields under one movieclip based on database data. There's no way to hardcode that with MXML. The GUI is very specific about this, and it's the right GUI.

In two days of searching, I can't find a single example in ActionScript, only MXML. I've tried everything that smelled like an example.

Is there some obvious general pointer I'm missing? I'll be happy to post code, but it doesn't make sense because I've been through so many examples.

Does anyone have the simplest possible code for creating any kind of TLF text editing field in ActionScript only (zero MXML), which is then added to a MovieClip or UIMovieClip, which is added to the stage of a desktop AIR application?

Set Link Colors In A RichEditableText Component?

Oct 5, 2010

I've got some text that includes links that I display in a RichEditableText component. How do I change the color of the links from the default blue? I tried the example posted by Peter deHaan but it doesn't work with SDK 4.1. I found a way to do this in MXML, but the text needs to be localizable which means I load it at runtime based on the locale, so I can't just include it inline with the MXML.

To recap: How do I set the link colors for a RichEditableText component that displays HTML that gets loaded at runtime?

Flash - Does Adobe TLF Support Chinese Fonts In RichEditableText Component

Apr 20, 2011

I've created a "Poster Maker" in Flex. The text part of the poster is written inside a TLF-based RichEditableText component. Users can choose the font for the text using a ComboBox which lists all the device fonts on the computer.

All works well, until Chinese users try to apply a Chinese font and it doesn't work. Here's a screencast of the problem (just over 1 min long). In it you can see I can write Chinese in WordPad and apply the two different Chinese fonts I have on the PC without any problems. When I switch to the Flex app and try the same it doesn't work.I'm at a loss as to why this won't work. The change event of the font picker ComboBox looks like this:

var txtLayFmt:TextLayoutFormat = editor.getFormatOfRange(null,
editor.selectionAnchorPosition,
editor.selectionActivePosition
);

[code]....

Where selectedItem.font is the fontname of the font and is what you see as the label in the ComboBox.
