Multiline And Changing Text Box Size?

May 13, 2010

I have some text pulled in from a db via cfm and remoted into flash - I'm trying to figure out a way to determine if whether or not a given string requires the vertical space of a multiline text box.Visually, two lines take up more space than a single line and when the string only takes up a single line, the second (empty) line creates to much whitespace and has everything below it too far away from that initial single line. When the string can fill both lines, it doesn't look bad at all - so, ultimately, I'm trying to get that whitespace gone.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Changing Font Size Of Dynamic Text Box?

May 19, 2010

have created a scrolling text area in flash CS3 using a dynamic text box with text inside controlled by a couple of buttons using the .scroll property to add to the scroll value on each click of a button.i am wanting to add two new buttons to decrease and increase the font size of the text within the dynamic text area, which i thought should be fairly easy. i found a .size property which could be applied to text, but i do not think i am using it in the right way. here's what i have tried to do (where 'myText' is the instance name of my dynamic text area):

on (release) {
var myFormat = myText.getTextFormat();
myFormat.size += 10;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Format Not Changing Colour Or Size?

Apr 30, 2011

My Text Format is not changing colour or size, despite me telling it to do so with the following code. it displays the number of steps taken (a number called Steps) to complete the level in my flash game.

ActionScript Code:
var myFont:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
myFont.font = "Ariel";
myFont.color = 0xCCCCCC;

[Code]....

It displays the box the correct size (height and width), position and number inside, but the text font is still black and small size.

Professional :: Way Of Resizing A Dynamic Text Box Without The Type Changing Size?

Apr 1, 2010

I want to use the UI Text Scroll component on a text box. When I make the initial text box,it is the normal 1 line in depth, based on the font size. When I paste the type into the box it gets very long, which is fine, but when I try to make the text box  smaller using  the transform tool so that I can make it fit the movie, it makes the type smaller as well. Is there a way to change the height of the box, without it effecting the text inside?

Flex :: Hide (or Remove) Label Text Without Changing The Button Size?

Dec 21, 2010

I have a button with variable-length of label text. I have a User Setting that can turn on or off the label text on this button.

How can I implement this?

NOTE: the button's background has a gradient color.

I tried using BlendMode.LAYER, no luck;

I tried using Button.resizeHandler

private function resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
{
if (event.oldWidth > this.width)

[Code]....

but it only worked if the initial UserSetting value is true.

How about embedded font? I don't know how to apply it to button

ActionScript 1/2 :: Text Fields Resetting Characteristics (font - Size) When Tabbing To Them And Changing

May 2, 2010

When I set up 3 input text fields, I allow the user to change the font and size of those fields. If the user selects each one with the mouse and modifys them then no problems are seen. But if the user first changes the size and font of text field 2, then tabs to that text field and starts to change the text. The font and size properties revert back to the default.

I could re-apply the formating everytime the text field changes, but that seems like a bandaid to the problem.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Into A Fixed Width Multiline Text Field?

May 30, 2010

Is there a way I can stop a single word splitting over two lines when putting dynamic text into a fixed width, multiline text field?I have a simple method of checking if there are more lines than words and then running a while loop to reduce the font size until there are the same amount or less lines than words. But this doesnt always work, if say the final word of three is quite short and the second word splits over two lines then I still have 3 words and 3 lines.

Data Integration :: Multiline Text Box Reading From Xml File?

May 20, 2009

i have a text area, set to multiline.  For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box.  So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box.  Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
 
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off.

Javascript :: RegExp To Unwrap XML CDATA Multiline Text That Has <br>'s In It?

Anyone know of a good reg exp that can do this, optimally in one go? It needs to remove whitespace at begin/end of each line, remove LFs and CRs and replace with a single space but if there's a <br> (or <br/>) at the end of the line it should not add a space. I'd need this in a JavaScript conform regexp.

Xml :: Displaying Bidirectional Multiline Text From File In Flash?

Oct 26, 2009

I have been asked to add support to a xml based website. I have been looking into it and have realised that it is not going to be very straight forward. The text does have english phrases in when describing products being used.

After doing some research I have found that CS3 does not 'support' rtl text. I also read that CS4 has added support, is this worth looking into? I read that it was buggy.

I found FlarabySWF which does what I think I am after, but not for all the languages I need, and only at design time rather than runtime.

I also found Gchats TextBox 3.0.0 but this didn't seem to work.

I also found some solutions using CSS, but these didn't seem to work with multiline text. See this example. It also didn't work as the text I am trying to display is bi-directional ..

Actualy, importing Arabic text is not a problem, but dealing with bidirectional text of Arabic and English within the same line is a big one.
