Out of the box, Flash CS4/AS3 doesnt seem to support the soft hyphen / discretionary hyphen (­ / U+00AD). Is there some trick to getting it to work, or is it simply not there?
View 1 Repliesi have this listener object below. i also have a text area component called, "taPhoneNmbr", that you type a phone number into. what currently happens that the listener object will listen for change in the taPhoneNmbr.length. once taPhoneNmbr.length reaches the value of the areacode it will add a hyphen to the end of the last character in taPhoneNmbr component.
same thing will happen once taPhoneNmbr.length reaches the value of prefix, resulting in a phone format like this: 800-555-1234 my problem now is that if i were to make a mistake with the number i've typed i cannot delete the last hyphen only because flash is constantly adding the hyphen through the listener. so i added the removeEventListener at the end of the else if statement. though i'm able to delete the hyphens, how do i "pause" the listener in the event where i either make changes to the prefix(not var) or area code(not var) portion of the taPhoneNmbr text? i know i could mickey mouse it and cheat by creating a clear all button, but i figured i'd challenge myself.

The textfields in flash automatically line break the second part of a hyphenated word. Is there a property to make the hyphen read as a regular character and treat the whole word as one and not line break at the hyphen?EX: Current text-field behavior:Buy all of the teacher-approved supplies.

View 2 RepliesI was originally writing my code in flash AS3 then I found out AS3 do not support the HTMLLoader class... so I publish my code in Adobe AIR. And my code run perfectly fine when I ctrl+Enter in CS4... but when I run the exported .swf file... it just fail when I click on the buttons that associated with HTMLLoader class. Why it is not working when I play the .swf but it works when I ctrl+enter it in cs4?
Here's the error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.html::HTMLLoader could not be found.
I did import flash.html.HTMLLoader;

View 2 RepliesI am working on a department website that needs to be standards compliant (xhtml 1.0 transitional), but embedded flash keeps breaking the validation. We use the <embed> tag because we need to support most major browsers.
We can't use external tools, since the site is managed through a system and the admins don't like us putting extra tools (like JavaScript libraries etc) that could interfere with their template engine.
How widely supported is the object tag? Is it safe to use only the <object> tag and remove the <embed> tag all together?
I'm compiling a Flash project to an iPhone IPA file from the command line. I have an editable TLFTextField on the stage, but whatever I do, the softKeyboard on iOS won't pop up. Trying to set "needsSoftKeyboard" on the TLFTextField gives me an error when testing the movie via Flash: "property not found". The movie does load correctly on iOS, but still no keyboard pops up. It also doesn't matter if I put "pan" in the application descriptor file or not.
Basically I just want a keyboard to pop up to fill in text in an input field. What am I missing?
How do I insert a hyphen in a hardcoded string that is the label of a button? Do I need to format it as html? Same question re: forcing a break in a line of text. is there a way just with ActionScript?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to assemble a header object for an api request. One of the headers is 'Content-Type'. The hyphen is causing a compile error. Flex is giving me:

I find it spiteful that they enjoy the use of a hyphen in the error message while I hang my head and come here for answers.
I have a TextArea and a Checkbox. I want to disable the SoftKeyboard when the checkbox is checcked, so the TextArea can be scrolled without it popping up. I can get the keyboard to disable when the Checkbox is clicked, but as soon as I click on the TextArea to scroll it pops back up. How do I enable/disable the keyboard with a checkbox? Below is my code:
protected function toggle_keyboard_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
checkboxStatus = event.target.selected;

I was wondering if it is possible to have a mask applied through the setMask(); and have 2 out of the 4 edges blurred. That way you can can get kind of a soft wipe transition.
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to display the Soft Keyboard when debugging using ADL? If I use the existing properties I still don't see it. I want to check if my layout looks well when the Soft Keyboard appears, but for some reason I don't see it coming in ADL (Adobe Debug Launcher). I don't have a tablet to test it on for now so that isn't a solution. I don't see the soft keyboard or doesn't it exist in ADL?
View 1 RepliesHas anyone worked with SION (sioncenter) synth within flash to generate audio sounds? I have been having a play with it to generate a piano sounds for my on-screen piano. It looks promising but i seem to have got a really bad latency delay with it. I have trying to link the keys on the computer keyboard so the user can play the on screen piano. I wasnt too sure wether to put each key into an array or just have them as a movieclip on the stage. Just as a testing method i used the stage. I have found a few examples here: wonderfl.net/c/fbIa and the latency delay is certainly not as bad as mine. If anyone has used SION could they possible give me a tip of how to optimise my code? Heres the basics of what i have created so far:
[Code]....
it's an animated website header / banner
my stage is a long, thin rectanlge, with an asphalt background on a distinct locked layer
on the stage i also have a movieclip of white crosswalk 'stripes' motion-tweened from left-to-right over the asphalt
i am trying to have these stripes fade away as they approach the right side of the banner
'fade' being the operative word here, i'm trying to create a mask layer in the 'stripes' movieclip that has a transparency gradient
basically, a recatangle moves left-to-right over the stage, and a mask layer above (aligned left), has a left alpha value of 0, so the rectangle disappears behind it. i've seen references to 'soft mask' and also animated AS solutions, masks are always far too complicated.
I have a Pure AS3 mobile project that I'm developing in Flex 4.5, and deploying on both Android and iOS.I have a TLF textfield that is set to editable, and when I touch on it on Android the soft keyboard shows up as expected, without me having to explicitly tell it to show up.
BUT on iOS, when I touch on it, I get the text field's focus event firing, but the soft keyboard doesn't show up. Anyone know how to make this appear, so the user can enter in text? it is possible to enter text in a pure AS3 mobile app on iOS.
I'm using Flex 4.5.1 with AIR 2.7 (and Flash Builder 4.5.1) to build an app for the Blackberry Playbook.
The app has a large textarea that needs to be resized when the soft keyboard shows up. I am able to hook into the soft keyboard events and do things there.
Now, I want to resize the textarea to fit the remaining part of the screen when the keyboard shows up. I know the current and destination size and want to use a smooth animation to show the textarea resizing. (I can't already set the height and can see the textarea being correctly resized in the keyboard_activating event - but I want to do it through an animation). I've tried using the Animate class, the spark.effects.Move class and none of them seem to work in this case. They seem to run the animation but the screen does not get refreshed!
