I am using a TextField in Flash CS2, because I need to know the width of the actual text for positioning purposes. However from some odd reason it doesn't always work when the browser is Google Chrome.
View 2 Repliesok what i'm trying to do is make a transition so letters get typed up and then a tween will be applied and will be tweened down to about middle of screen. here is what i have so far:
ActionScript Code:
var q:Number = 1; // controls amount of letters currently visible
var typeInterval;[code]....
the problem is i have the typing but i've had alot of trouble with tweening side of things. i figured i might be able to create a new textfield for every letter assign the letter to it then tween it. but getting the positioning perfect would be a pian and i have no idea how to continure form this point on.
I'm trying to work out a specific problem I'm having with positioning in Flex using the PopUpManager. Basically I'm wanting to create a popup which will scroll with the parent container - this is necessary because the parent container is large and if the user's browser window isn't large enough (this will be the case the majority of the time) - they will have to use the scrollbar of the container to scroll down. The problem is that the popup is positioned relative to another component, and it needs to stay by that component.

I am loading an XML file into several textboxes. Each group of textboxes is contained in a movieclip. There is a textbox in each group that varies in height and I want to put each movieclip underneath each other. So I need to get the height of the previous mc in my for loop so I can set the y position of the next mc. I am not quite sure how this is done, but here is my as3:

I need to position an object in the bottom half of a container (working on flex 4)- abt 25% above the bottom...and cant use x,y coordinates given need for resizing. I have been able to position the layout containers and they work well
Also need fonts to resize as the buttons get smaller
With flex 4 you can't seem to just do layout="absolute" any more. Is there a way to get the application layout set as absolute in flex 4?

The Plot Series has 'xField' as 'timeStamp' and no 'yField'.... ! Can I position the plot series though I do not have a corresponding 'yField' value ? Can I assign a default value to the 'yField' (say '10' for all...?)

I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library. I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin' I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want. I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.How can I :1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void{ Mouse.cursor="button";
//Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'

I am working on a flex app that uses XML templates to dynamically create DisplayObjects. These templates define different layouts that can be used for each page of content in the app (ie , 2 columns, 3 columns etc etc). The administrator can select from one of these and populate each area with their content.
The templates add one of 3 types of DisplayObject - HBox, VBox or a third component - LibraryContentContainer (an mxml component that is defined as part of the app) - which is effectively a canvas element with a TextArea inside. The problem that I am getting is that I need each of these areas to automatically resize to fit the length of the content but don't seem to be able to find an effective way to do so.
In the LibraryContentContainer, when the value of the TextArea is set, I am calling .validateNow() on the LibraryContentContainer. I then set the height property on both the TextArea and LibraryContentContainer to match the textHeight property of the TextArea. In the following example, this is the LibraryContentContainer, viewer is the TextArea and the value property of the TextArea is bound to this.__Value. v is the variable containing the content for the textarea

I am having troubles migrating from as2 to as3.
The code:
var v1:Number;v1 = parseFloat(valor1.text);total.text= v1;
v1 declared as number. v1 only receives the "float value" of the input text field valor1. The dynamic text field (total) shows the v1 value.My problem is that this works on as2, on as3 i get error :1067 implicit coercion of a value type number etc.

Actionscript Code:
fullPreloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {target.createTextField("my_txt",fullImage_mc.getNextHighestDepth,230,300,300,300);target.my_txt.textColor = 0xFFF;};

thread with XML in the title so I came on in...I will start with I am new to flash so a novice is an over estimation. I have a flash template for my photography gallery. It is a nice template and "almost" everything works smoothly. Notice i said almost everything, the gallery images loads from an XML file.hats nice for updating the gallery, There is a small slide out window that holds text in the gallery. I am using it for exif data and I am fine with just placing the exif data in manually when I update the gallery. Now for the PROBLEM.... There is a CDATA tag in the XML file where the text goes for the info. When i alter the text in that section it makes all the text in that images info field dissappear at runtime. Any ideas what will cause this to happen. I have tried everything to remedy this it seems. I hav tried the support where I purchased the template

I'm working on a project that dynamically loads news articles.There is basically a title text box and a news box, both are the same width.I would like to know if there is a way that I can get the dynamic title to scale up/down in font size to fit the width (and also shift the news text down to be about 3px under the title)
View 1 RepliesI know I need to embed the font and declare the font in a setFormat string.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("cat",this.getNextHighestDepth());
cat.createTextField("txt",this.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,100,50);
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "Times";
cat.txt.embedFonts = true;
cat.txt.text = "cat";
cat.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
cat._alpha = 50;
However the title of this thread says "CS5", I think this problem is AS3 related.. I was making a site in CS5, and now I switched to CS5. The only problem are the input textfields. When I run the .swf, I cannot input any numeric values to the text field anymore, except for the "1".. How can this be?! When I open the site in CS3, I still CAN input other numeric values.
how to set a textfield to only accept numeric values?

View 3 RepliesSo i have a really nice flash gallery that i downloaded from a site but i am trying to personlize it. It uses a dynamic text (for the preloaders and the titles) which is post by this procedure :
fullPreloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {
target.createTextField("my_txt",fullImage_mc.getNe xtHighestDepth(),50,50,200,20);
target.my_txt.selectable = false;
};
So what i did was basically to create a new style (my_fmt) and apply it to dynamic style applied by default (my_txt) :
fullPreloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {
target.createTextField("my_txt",fullImage_mc.getNe xtHighestDepth(),0,0,200,20);
target.my_txt.selectable = false;

Anway nothing changes. The text is always the same (Times New Roman which is by default) I also tried to change de height and width definitions but no difference. It only works when i change the x and y position of the text.
I've been unable to send data to a text file. I am making a news poster for a website, but free or any XML, php MySQL or anything else; so is it possible to send data to a .txt file using no other files? is it getLocals or something?
