I am rendering html in a Flex 3.x UITextField. The problem I am facing now is that when punctuation is at the end of a word, it can sometimes be wrapped to the next line.
For example:
That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger ,so I became a developer.
This seems like a bug in the algorithm to me. Is there a workaround?
i am using a UITextField with multilines and want to add line specing as i need how to do so in flex action script;
View 1 RepliesI'm having a strange problem with regexps. I have several sentences that I want to break up into individual words without punctuation. I also want each punctuation mark as a separate element in the array. I used some code from the ActionScript 3.0 cookbook to create the following code:

This is the MXML I have

None of them create a new line in flex they are both rendered to the screen. How can I create a new line with a php string?

but if I do name.text=data.string; it doesnt even though data.string has the exact same value;
I store the htmlText property of a RichTextEditor in the database.I retrieve it in another instance and I want to show the user the first line of it as plain textSo I let Flex handle the conversion by using a function like this
var editor:TextField = new TextField();
editor.htmlText = htmlTextFromDb;
var converted:String = editor.text;

I have a text field with a set height and width and that allows word wrapping. When I add text to it, I dynamically change the font size until the height of the text is smaller than the height of the box, allowing it to properly fit. The problem I am running into is that the box is fairly thin by necessity, and some longer words (like "Australia") are broken during the word wrap. So, perhaps "Australi" will show up on the first line, and "a" on the second line. However, because they satisfy the height requirement, they aren't shrunk any more. I need a way to detect this and continue shrinking these cases so they fit without the break. Here is the code for dynamically shrinking the text to fit the height[code]...

View 8 RepliesDoes data binding work with the UITextField? Unfortunately, I'm getting the variable instead of the bound data.
[Bindable]
public var myString:String;
in a function, where tf is a UITextField:
myString = "blah blah blah";
blah blah...
tf.text="{myString}";
It's giving me {myString} instead of its data.
How would I go about Embedding SubScript/SuperScript fonts in a Flex UITextField ? I have already downloaded the required fonts. I need to make them work in a UITextField in Flex. I have tried using CSS/Stylemanager etc. , and tried using createInFontContext also... Still it does not work. The fonts only work if they are installed on the user PC. i.e. they do not get embedded in to the application.

Isn't there a way (as2 code?) to have flash format the text just like a browser would if it were a normal html page?

View 9 RepliesI'm new to flash and AS3, and have just figured out how toload an external XML document into a textField, which is thenstyled via an external CSS document. The styling works fine,colours change, font size changes etc... But! And here's myproblem, when the xml data is loaded into the textfield, where Ihave nested styles, it creates a line break.I have created a textField on the stage with an instance nameof: eventsContentTextFieldWhich is set to dynamic, scrolling (with a UIScrollBarcomponent), html and multiline.
View 6 RepliesFor some reason or another, after a </strong> or </em> tag, flash inserts a line break after it.
So it is like this:
This is some BOLD
text and this is some italic
text.
When it should look like this: This is some BOLD text and this is some italic text.

I am developing an admin tool for a client. There is a textarea in the tool that the client will type out a description for the video he wants to upload. This description sometimes might have a few paragraphs. I am pushing the data from the textarea into an HTML file and saving on the server so that it integrates with his site. My question is, how do I detect the line breaks in the text area and change them to HTML breaks <br> once the user submits the data?
example:
Hello, this is a test.
should be turned into:
this is a test.<br><br>?
I've finally got XML information coming into my text field. Only problem now is that there for every line break in the text, Flash reads it as two line breaks, for example:
XML:
Line 1
Line 2
Flash:
Line 1
Line 2
I found that you can just use the <br> tag in the original text or if I'm using actionscript to input the text I can use or but what if I'm using text generated by a CMS which my client needs to be able to use?
I know you can identify line breaks when working with text files by checking the character equivalent, but is this possible to do with htmlText?
I am making a text editor for my client and I am using the textArea component as the input field with the data stored in an XML. All's well, except for the line break--the textArea is rendered as htmlText so that the client will be able to see the changes made instantly. By default, it works, but the spacing is all screwed up (indents, double-spaces at times), so I decided to condense the whitespace. With this on, it gets rid of the spacing issues since the html is being rendered exactly as coded. The thing is, hitting enter in the textArea does not add <br /> to the htmlText code.
Do i need to overwrite the Enter key with a custom function that inserts a ine break when using the textArea, or is there a way to detect and convert these line breaks in htmlText?

I'm working on a project in which user data will be saved via php to an xml file on the sever. Using Kirupa's excellent tutorial [URL], I am able (now) to output to the xml file. My question is, does anyone know of a way to create the xml file so that the nodes will appear on seperate lines, as it would were I creating the XML file using Dreamweaver say.

Previously I had posted a thread about trying to format and xml file with line breaks and indents when writing XML files using the xml.sendAndLoad method.I was looking for a way to write the xml like this[code]...
I thought I had solved this by converting the XML to a str in which the line breaks and indents were added in the appropriate places, but as yet I haven't been able to write it to an XML file. I can write a text file using LoadVars, but this isn't useful as the formatting isn't preserved.
I have a site that compiles to Actionscript 2.0 and Flash player 8. This site utilises XML output from ASP.Net driven database pages. The problem I have is basically that where I have some tabstops set, in certain cases, where the text starting from the first tab stop is over a certain length an unwanted line break is output just before the last word in the entry. (I know it's always the last word since if I put another word on the end of the string the word that was originally on the new line is back in it's proper place - so it doesn't appear to be length related).
Effectively, what I want is as follows:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3
header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
What I'm getting is something like this:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3 with a long
description header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
The Xml I am loading is as follows (This has been anonymiezd and the angle brackets changed to '[]')

[config scrollPosition="right" styleSheet=".stylesheetscv.css"]

There are appropriate closing tags further down the file. The CSS that relates to this is:
headertext {
display: inline;
color: #008000;
} itemheader {
display: inline;

In order to get the CSS to overide the settings of the dynamic text field I use an empty TextFormat object tFormat. The XML is loaded with ignoreWhite set to true. Or can I not see the wood for the trees?
I'm trying to split my text at the line breaks, but it won't work. My text is something like this:

Each item is from an XML tag, but I can't keep it as XML, for my own reasons which I won't get into. I form the text thusly:

node = myXML.childNodes[i];
for (a = 0; a < node.childNodes.length; a++) {

I need to send the contents of an input textfield by GET to a php script. The problem is the input must be multiline, but cannot allow line breaks orelse it messes up the GET query. Is there anyway for me to replace the line breaks with a html encoded line break (I tried restricting the textfield to specific characters, but the return still caused line breaks)?
