Consider the following scaled down example of a much larger application:I have text areas with id attributes and click events:
<mx:TextArea click="launchMyPopUp(event);" id="box1" text="blahblahblah"/>
<mx:TextArea click="launchMyPopUp(event);" id="box2" text="blahblahblah"/>
<mx:TextArea click="launchMyPopUp(event);" id="box3" text="blahblahblah"/>

Ok, so I've read up on the TextArea class in Livedocs, and i've been looking at XML explanations and their implementation into Flash for about a week. I've tried this EXACT code on another Flash document, except on the main stage instead of embedded inside of a
separate movie clip, and it worked perfectly. Can anyone explain why the text won't display in the TextArea? Does it have something to do with it being inside of a movieclip and that being placed on the Main Stage? (By the way, proxy.xml is just a copy of the xml produced by my CFM proxy for easier usage, in case you were wondering.
I have an unstructured multiline string to parse in Flash (not csv, not xml, just plain text) I want to be able to separate my multiline plain text into lines of text as a starting point. I realize that my regex has no issue if I hand-type my data into the textarea, but issues arise when I paste from external sources.
I wonder, is there any setting on Textarea that I forgot to set so that the newline character is trimed upon my paste?
[Code]...
It turns out that parsing it may not be the problem, but the fact that my data may have been malformed when I paste from clipboard might be the real root cause. Does anyone have any suggestion in how to solve this problem? Should I perhaps make a paste handler to ensure data's integrity?
I have an unstructured multiline string to parse in Flash (not csv, not xml, just plain text)I want to be able to separate my multiline plain text into lines of text as a starting point. But no matter how I tweak my regex and replace algorithm, it won't work for me.
I realize that there is an issue with pasting from Clipboard to Textarea. The newline characters from original content would be lost once they reach Textarea.
It looks like following in text editor, plaint text mode:
var1 hi
var2 hi2
var3 h3
But when I copy it out of Flash after pasting them into it, the data becomes like following
var1 hivar2 hi2var3 h3
This is also the output if I use trace to look at the data in Textarea after pasting.

how to show output data in a text area. I'm making a logger of variables being sent from a game. I notice the output records all the data. But, when I make it into standalone, there isn't a output. How do you show the data in from the output into a text area on the layer.
View 2 RepliesI'm having an issue with TextFormat tags that are appearing in textfields. Here's an overview of what I'm doing: Basically, I'm trying to grab the text from a textArea component: (myText = myTextArea.text")
Because I want to retain formatting, I have the textArea set to be html. Thus, myText becomes the text you see below
So the myText data is then stored in XML, but later when I try to access it, it fills that same textArea component with the literal code rather than the formatted text. How do I take that TextFormat string and convert it back to it's original form? I've
tried myTextArea.htmlText
I wanna read a text file data and show them in a textArea.

If you have two text areas with different styles (fontFamily, weight, color etc) and you copy text from one to the other it also copies the style from the originating text area. Is there any slick way to prevent that?
Here is a sample of code that will illustrate the problem. Type some text in the top box and some text in the bottom, then copy some characters from the top box to the bottom. I'm not using htmltext.[code]...
k, so i have a function that checks to see if a user name and email that's being registered already exists in my DB. if the user name previously exists, a 1 is returned. 2 for email and 3 in neither previously exist. if i hard code my user name an existing user name, "joe", who already exists, into my php file and run it in my browser, i get an echoed answer of "1" as i should- nothing less, nothing more. if i don't hard code it and run "joe" over from flash and trace(event.target.data);, i get 1 with a bunch of carriage returns after it in my output window.
[Code]..
So I have a bit of an odd error.
[Code]...
The line that says xmlData = XML(evt.target.data) freezes my program. Nothing gets past that line. I have no idea what's causing this problem... What I mean by nothing gets past it is that anything anfter that line doesn't get executed. I put the userArea.addChild(userList) before all over the function to determine where the problem was and it's only after that line that my userList was no long showing up.
I have about 9 buttons on my stage and I want to write code for the rollover and rollout effects, I only want to write the code once so I am trying to pass the button info into a string via evt.target.data and it pass the info properly into my string variable but when I try to set my filter to that variable, setting my movieclip instance name to that variable, I get 2 errors:

I have an mx:TextArea and I want its height to be the same as its content height. There is nothing fancy - just a text area and text that is not editable. I need a simple and reliable way to make the control fit and show all the text without vertical scroll - something like auto resizing.

There is one more post here on the same topic but it is not relevant to me because the setup there is a lot more complicated as it includes styling and binding.
Is there any advance TextArea that can attached image(image is alligned with the text) and the image can be movable inside the text area.I know that text area can support html text and can insert image tag but it is very limited, I can't move the picture inside textArea by dragging it or even add events on it.

View 1 RepliesWith the Flex 3 SDK you simply needed to set the borderThickness style to 0, or set borderStyle to none. With the Flex 4 SDK ad the Spark theme, this has no effect.
View 5 RepliesIn my Flex 3 application the user enters IP addresses into a textInput object. As the user enters the numbers comprising the ip address I would like to add the '.' on the fly rather than waiting until latter, so that if the user types 127000000001 I would like the textInput control to display 127.000.000.001. I've been trying to make a class that extends textInput and adds the '.'s to the object's text property in the Event.CHANGE or Event.TextInput handler. Sadly, my extra '.' never gets displayed, the numbers appear without dots just as the user typed them.
