Flex :: Text Htmltext Missing Out/cutting The Full Html Text?
Feb 12, 2011
I am trying to implement htmlText for a text component as the returned string is in html format (with the html tags etc). If I put a text=.... i get the full text, but with the tags (which i want converted to html). So i use htmlText=.... and it formats it fine, but cuts half the text from the variable. The text im supposed to get back has tons of html tags, and maybe its cutting it somewhere because of the tag its not able to escape... How do i fix this?
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
I am consuming XML which I have no control over. the XML has HTML in it which i am styling and displaying in a HTML text field. I want to remove all the html except the links.
Strip all HTML tags except links is not working for me.
does any one have any tips? regEx?
the following removes tables. var reTable:RegExp = /<tables+[^>]*>.*?</table>/s;
but now i realize i need to keep content that is the tables and I also need the links.
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 created a component that is multiple datagrids side by side that share the same columns (each datagrid is the same as the one before but with different data).ProblemThe header text only shows up on the last datagrid. How can I get the text to show up on all the datagrid headers?Here is how I instantiate the component.
I made a post under actionscript 2.0, but I wasn't sure if it belonged there. So here goes.I made a text box and added a mask to it, it is really long so I made it scrollable. For some reason it keeps cutting off the bottom of the text, meaning it won't scroll all the way down, it truncates it. The text is dynamic and the fonts are embedded, heck I even tried breaking the fonts apart.
how do i get an ordered list using htmltext property of Text component? I tried using this: <ol><li>item</li><li>item</li></ol> but it rendered like an unordered list.
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?
mainText.htmlText = "<img src="breadmaker.png" width="339" height="275" vspace="0" hspace="0" />" + "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy tex......(more here)"
However, the result looks like the following:ScreenshotAs you can tell, it cuts off the first few characters in the text after the image tag (Lorem Ipsum is sim), but it is only because the image is full width. If I change the img tag to width="200", it shows the text floating to the right.However, as you can tell with a full width image (because the Text component's width is 339), it seems the text is still floating to the right, but it's hidden off to the right side of the image.
I am designing a web application in Flex 4 and currently facing an issue rendering advanced HTML tags and entities in Flex 4. All I want to do is basically render an HTML text coming to me something like the one given below:-
It seems that AIR doesn't come packaged with the powerful FTS module for Sqlite (its a hot requested feature)
What are the some other alternatives I can use? I want to be able to do simple boolean and phrase queries. Support for stemming would be great but not required. I am targeting the mobile platforms.
So far I've thought of three options:
Write a simple inverted index and a scorer Do search on server side (last resort b/c it messes up offline capability) Somehow install FTS module with AIR. First indication from googling is that its not feasible (looks like loading of modules is disabled in air)
I have created a textArea element but cannot display my HTML content. If I just display regular text it works or if I change the textArea element to a RichEditableText element it works fine. Since this is for a mobile app I would prefer to use the textArea element as recommended by Adobe.Here is the MXML code for the textArea. All I get is the border and no content displayed.
I am working as a developer on a Flex/Air application and we are using the buggy Flex RTE (RichTextEditor) to let the user manage his notes. At the moment I am trying to evaluate how costly it would be for us to build a new text component using the TLF (Text Layout Framework).Really important is the question if we can import the HTML text, produced by the RTE straight away. I know that there are some limitations regarding lists with TLF 1.1, but does it work in general?
I have just tried to grab some HTML formatted text from RTE like:
i have a problem where if my application is full screen i cannot click on any text input component and i cannot input any text into the fields. i have tried creating the text input fields at run time and i have tried creating them on the canvas when on the gui design window in flex builder. however they both give the same results and do not let me pick them and enter text.
I recently updated text in a page. Now, when I test the movie, random characters within the modified text are missing. Is this a bug or am I overlooking something? I am using Adobe Flash CS3 on Windows XP.
I am using AS1 & 2 for a webpage and am trying to create a scrolling textbox, but the components are not in the components menu when I pull it up.However, when I start a new project with as3 it shows up in the components menu.The thing is though I need it to work with my project I've been working on in as1 & 2.
I have a text file that contains variables that get pulled into my flash file dynamically. It leaves out random letters throughout the text when it is displayed in the SWF.I'm at my breaking point and I know I am probably missing something simple at this point.
SWF file does not display special characters in dynamic text let alone cyrillic font. I do have all kind of fonts in Flash and they work fine in static text.
I can write the text I want to display in xml file however upon saving it I etheir loose the special characters or they still dont display correctly in SWF. Enconding is UTF-8. Tried changing it but to no effect.
I have just been upgraded from some previous version of flash to CS5. I have dynamic text fields that now do not show certain letters. For example "OK" shows up as "O" but "Ok" work. "SUPPLE" appears as "SPPLE". Some numbers fail to show up as well. When I trace the value of the text box all looks OK.
Hi got this script from the kirupa tutorial, and fixed it up according to my design, the problem is my content frame height is huge and text in the content stops appearing in the content mask after height 1620 eventhough the actual text in contents continues until 2950 , the text as u notice stops showing while previewing after where it says "What's the difference?", can some1 please take a look at the action layer and tell me what must be fixed, its 500 kbs heres a link to the fla. url..
I want to add a horizontal scrollbar to a textfield that shows the text in HTML format.When I try that in other documents without scrollbar I get it to work.In the code bellow, which I mainly took from the Actionscript Reference, the code works when I use text (like in the Actionscript Reference).But when I change it to htmlText to get it HTML formatted (and get rid of the HTML codes) the textField doen't show anything.
The code: import fl.controls.ScrollBarDirection; import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
Objective: When a visitors attemps to do something using my flash site that produces an error, this class will catch the error and store the date and error message into a mySQL database via PHP. The original file is resource.xml. I changed it to resourcex.xml to test out my error log feature.

Problem:
Running the SWF from the Flash IDE generates this error:Resource - Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:
file:///E|/Projects/Personal/Gods%20Phoenix/website/public%5Fhtml/kasai/engine/resourcex.xml. This is in both the IDE output and in the $output textField within the Movie. This entire line is reported to the database when I use an absolute link to the errorhandler.php server page.
Running the SWF itself and when embedded in html from the website generates this:
Resource - Error #2032
This is the only info I get displayed in the text field and in the database.
I tried the URLRequsets with both relative paths and absolute links from my domain address, with a crossdomain.xml of course.I know IE on windows is about the only browser that will relay http status code. But this info is, I think, is supposed to be generated from flash itself and not the server.
having a really frustrating problem. I have a file, originally penned by anoother developer in CS3 and resaved as CS4. It uses datagrids extensively. When clicking on a cell in a data grid it now fails to render the font (or a blinking carat for that matter). When you click off and finish the edit the text you enter is there, of course that isn't much use because you can't see what you're typing.I haven't changed how these grids work in anyway, and it was working in CS4 before *mysteriously* stopping.Have tried setting the font to one that is embedded in the setStyle of the custom renderer the cell is using but it makes no difference - everything renders fine when not editing but disappears when editing.

i'm working with externally loaded, html formatted text which employs the <img> tag, wondering if anyone knows a way to force the text directly following the <img> tag to display on a new line starting BENEATH the image in the textField rather than the default behavior of flowing AROUND the image to the right or left? inserting multiple <br> tags works, but that seems like a crappy and way to do it, fills the source file with a lot of <br> tags and requires a trial + error approach to finding the right number.
I have tried to do a script which makes a texteffect. It is one of those regulars in which you use dynamic text, at multiline, with substring and an onEnterFrame.
So the textfield starts at noll characters and goes up.
But the main problem which I dont know how to handle really is when it comes to make the .text property to a .htmlText property.
It seems to be really difficult to port the code for .text to allow .htmlText.
Since when using substring on a html-formatted string will take all html-markup into consideration.
