ActionScript 3.0 :: Formatting Html Text In A Dynamic Text Field

Jul 4, 2009

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Html-formatting Of Dynamic Text Field With Embedded Font?

Sep 19, 2006

If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:

ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";

Flash :: "append" Html Text To Text Area In Flex And Flex Mobile Project To Display Sprite And Text Formatting?

Jun 7, 2011

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;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Formatting XML In Text Field?

Jan 19, 2011

I've got an external xml file loaded into a text field... I'm trying to format the text within the xml file with actionscript. Specifically, I'd like to make the dates a different color from the actual posts, and I want to add a blank line between each post. Here's the xml file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<news>
<post>
<date>01.07.11</date>

<content>A lot has changed for the band. For one, we are no longer Tracey Bones. Now we are called Sinister Kid. Also, the band's added a new member to its ranks -- me, Andres, on vocals, which leaves Tyler able to concetrate completely on guitar. And I brought this website with me. It's not much in terms of content, but I figured I'd get a little creative with the animation, so enjoy.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Fields 'suddenly' Not Parsing HTML

Feb 1, 2011

I have come across a bizarre Flash problem with dynamic text fields. I built a site in flash for a designer about a million years ago. The content in her portfolio's dynamic text fields loads from plain .txt files. The fields, which were set to parse simple html tags, used to do so perfectly. At least the last time I checked in April of 2006. The designer just contacted me last week: one of the fields is no longer parsing the html. ?! I opened the original .fla and it is definitely set to do so. Why would this suddenly stop working?[code]

ActionScript 2.0 :: HTML Text Formatting Through Flash

Mar 13, 2003

I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.

My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.

In HTML when you assign as FONT format... font face="verdana,arial" when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.

Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?

Obviously to prevent that when people don't have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up

Html :: Flex Textfield Doesn't Gain Focus When Cursor Is In Text Field Of Iframe

Sep 10, 2010

I have a web page which has a SWF file embeded. I have an issue with the focus.

Steps to reproduce:

1)Click on a HTML Text Field which is inside a Iframe

2)Click on a Flex Field.

3)Begin to type some text.

Expected Result is the entered text should go in the Flex TextInput field but the actual Result is it goes into HTML text field.

This is the bug which was filed but closed without any resolution. The workaround suggested there doesnt work. ( bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12377 )

This is happening only in IE 6.0 and IE 7.0. Below is the live example. [URL]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Accepting HTML Formatting?

Oct 29, 2009

I am linking to an external text file, (.txt), and I am working in Flash CS3, Actionscript 3.0, and attempting to use dynamic HTML coding.The scroll bars work, but all the text after <font size=.... doesn't show up. Below is my actionscript for the text window:

var content_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("agenda.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

[code]...

The Lynda book I am using doesn't explain very much about the html coding beyond adding a few <it> and <b>. When I use them they show up fine. But when I place this text in the .txt file:

<font size=14> <align=left> Blah Blah Blah </font></align>

Nothing shows up! When I take away the <font size> al the text reappears, yet unformatted.

I am using AS2 and am trying to load text with the html formatting in place. The button for render text as HTML is clicked and I tried using the action script with the same purpose. Some of the html reads, such as <b> instead of <strong>, the <p> and </br> tags are working. I cannot however get <i>, colors, etc... to work. I have embedded all of the characters and glyphs into the dynamic text field. Nothing seems to be working for several of the text attributes which are present in the .txt file I'm loading.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Showing Text Field As HTML Field With XML/CDATA.?

Aug 26, 2007

Trying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.

The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:

this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()

I know I need to do more than just change it to ".html" instead of ".text" and have tried a couple things, but nothing seems to work.

myXML.load(newXml);

Actionscript 3 :: Parsing The XML To Print A String With Formatting Attributes Per Word

Sep 27, 2011

I have an XML which contains a field of the type:

<mytext><![CDATA[ My name is <color value="FF0000">Bill</color>. ]]></mytext>

I wonder if there is a simple methodology (using E4X methods) in order to print the inner text: "My name is Bill." in a text area and having the word "Bill" colored i.e. red.

The generalized situation is, if i can print the inner text and use XML tags to specify formatting attributes of the text per word.

Do E4X supports this type of parsing, or do I have to program my own "little" parser for this situation?

ActionScript 2.0 :: MX04 Rendered HTML Text Causing Display Within Text Field?

I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Dynamic Text Field Changes Colors But Bullets Don't For Html Text

Oct 26, 2010

I'm trying to use a dynamic text field to pull in html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But the bullets dont take on the color assigned to the field. I've tried putting it in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and neither work. Can someone help me. This should be a simple fix, but I can't find it... I just want my text and bullets to both be white.
 
Simple code below. Using html text inside the flash document and having a dynamic field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and bullets green, but it doesn't work, only text turns green
 
this.txt.html = true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.color = 0x00FF00; // hex value for green
this.txt.htmlText = "<P> This is the first paragraph</P><BR><UL><LI>Bullet 1</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 2</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 3</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 4</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 5</LI></UL>";this.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
