Alpha ignored by the Flash CS3 text field value

It is a problem, I noticed in Flash CS3. I checked livedocs and noted in Flash8 too:

So, I have a clip in which I put a text field. I've done the transparent clip (setting alpha to 0) and everything is OK (the pliers and the deposited text are not visible) while I'm still working with the timeline and stage. When I test or publish the movie the text field is always visible. I have a Flash Player 9,0,115,0 installed on my computer.
I did some tests and found that:
If the text field is static text, it WORKS. Text field has the same alpha value as the clip that holds it.
If the text field is a dynamic text it does not. Submitted text is visible.
If the deposited text is entered and there is NO character to incorporate, the text field IS visible (it looks like the alpha value is 100).
If the text field is the input text and incorporate characters, the deposited text IS NOT (as expected) visible.
It's strange. I'd say it's a bug.

BTW, it seems that you can add comments to Flash 8 livedocs (after clicking on the add comment button, you are redirected to a log in page and you can submit a comment), but when I went to Flash CS3 livedocs you can't. There is a message 'comments are no longer accepted for Flash CS3. Flash CS4 is the current version. To discuss Flash CS3, please use the Adobe forum. ». This nonsense!

Wow, you don't need to go through this whole process just to embed fonts in a dynamic text field that is already on scene. Click the field in your text on the stage, click the character of dipping and embed the characters you need. Fact.

    I read around on it for a few days, but I still can't get it works well.

    I have a field of text called "W1SnC1". In fact, I have several domains to execute it. That's why I tried to make the generic script below.

  • How can I add a new page dynamically based on the non recoverable text field?

    Hi all

    I created a form with subform flow and non-reusable text fields. When the user fills the long content, the shape is cut. Y at - it a way to dynamically add pages based on the content that the user fills the non recoverable text field?

    Thank you

    Check that the parent of the subform also has a fluid layout. If you have the structure below, both page 1 and subform must have a flow layout.

    Page1 (must be the flow)

    subform (must be the flow)

    TextField (let multiple lines and will expand to fit the height)

    If you have done all that, then it should work.

  • Why the letter spacing is ignored when running in dynamic text fields?

    I use dynamic text fields using the font Arial embeded in Flash 8 on Windows XP and when I set the letter spacing of 5, then run it film the spacing is lost. Tried with several other fonts and they always lose their spacing during execution.

    Why is this?

    Kevin

    it solved!

    You must reset the value linespacing in code after you put text, as follows:

    var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat() / used to change the color of the text
    Label.Text = "" Hello World ""
    my_fmt.letterSpacing = 1
    label.setTextFormat (my_fmt)

  • Help with the Flash CS3 Tutorial Code effect particle

  • Create a script of the class dynamic text field

    Hi all

    I came across a few subjects that relate to t my question but after reading, try different approaches and internet research, I'm still confused. How to create Visual elements, for example a text field, dynamically from Actionscript in a class file?

    Basically, I created a class file that loads an external XML file and now I want to create fields of dynamic text for the items in the XML file. I did some debugging and I know that the XML is properly loaded. I can also get it to create dynamic text fields when I place the code inside the fla. The problem is when the code is in the class file. I read that you must pass the display for the class object, but I'm still not clear on how to do it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    My fla has the following code on the first frame:

    Import classes.estimatesheet;

    var sheet1:estimatesheet = new estimatesheet("xml/estimationSheetFields.xml");

    Here's my class file:

    {classes package

    flash.xml import. *;
    import flash.display. *;
    import flash.events. *;
    flash.net import. *;
    import flash.utils. *;
    import flash.text. *;

    public class estimatesheet extends Sprite {}

    public var textFields:Array = new Array();

    public void estimatesheet (file:String) {}

    xmlLoader (file);

    }

    public void xmlLoader (file:String) {}
    var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
    loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
    Loader.Load (new URLRequest (file));
    }

    public void handleComplete(event:Event) {}
    try {}
    var allXml = new XML (event.target.data);

    {for each var item: XML (in {allXml.elements ())}
    createSheet (element);
    }

    } catch {(e:TypeError)}
    trace ("cannot parse for XML");
    trace (e.message);
    }
    }

    public void createSheet(data:XML) {}

    var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("Verdana", 11);

    {for each var item: XML (in {data.elements ())}

    var textField:TextField = new TextField();
    textField.setTextFormat (textFormat);
    textField.text = element.@label;
    textField.x = 150 * i;
    textField.y = 150 * I
    stage.addChild (textField);
    i ++ ;
    }

    }
    }

    Each feature display MovieClip, Sprite, TextField, etc. should be added to the display list/stack. The addChild in your class only adds TextFields to the estimatesheet class by using addChild (textField) and adds them to the scene of the film using stage.addChild (textField). Note that the latest works if estimatesheet is added to the movie because if estimatesheet is not added to the film the stage property is zero and you can't add items to something that is null, does not exist. AddChild (estimatesheet) prepares the ground for reference the main movie.

    As for making your class of the document class, you need to rearrange some things in your class and add a way to load the XML file. Things aren't sure how flexible can be.

  • capital letter at the beginning of text field

    Hi all.

    I create a form in LiveCycle and I want capital at the start of last name text field. Could someone let me know how to capitalize in JavaScript?

    Thank you.

    I think I finally got it work. The output for the field event, I put:

    this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toLowerCase () replace (/ \b [a - z] / g, function replace (match) {return match.toUpperCase () ;});})

    This forces the first letter of each word in uppercase

  • Adjust the input box text field on the form with Dreamweaver Bootstrap CC

    I'm building my first form contact us in Dreamweaver CC using bootstrap.

    I generated the form using the Insert > function form.

    However, I am not able to adjust the height of the text fields. Some need to lodge a comment like than others.

    I tried adding a CLASS, but have not hit on the answer...

    ANYONE?

    Also, how do you code the button send to an email address.

    Thanks in advance,

    MaryAnn

    Instead of using...

    Insert > form > text

    use...

    Insert > form > text box (to halfway through the Insert menu)

    To get the form to work, ask your host if they have a form to email script, you can use it on their server. Most is. If they aren't, search "form - language supported - email script" in Google. Make sure that the language on the server side you choose is supported on your server.

  • Definition of child page value to the Parent page text field

    Apex 4.1.

    I have a form of the apex. When the user clicks a button on this page, it redirects to another page and the user can select a value from a list of values (Group of Radio buttons) and when the user click on the "Done" button on the second page, I'm again redirect to the front page and what needs to happen is the selected value in the second page should be set to a text field in the first page (parent). How can I do this, I tried the following,.

    (1) on the second page (list of values), I added a process to get the selected value and set it to the field of the 1st page (Page Item)
    (2) I created a branch to redirect to the first page when the user hit "Done" button and in the branch options, I gave the order of the day of the 1st page (at what value need to be defined) and the value selected in the second page.
    (3) in both methods, after redirection back to (1) parent Page, I checked the value of this particular text field page element, and it had the value selected in page 2. but still, it was did not update the user interface.

    Really grateful if someone can help on this.

    Apex-EPA,

    Some things could happen...

    1. your text field still has its source type by replacing the value and is overwhelming everything you set the value on.
    2. on your second page, you do not use the branch that you think that you use to return to the first page.
    3. your branch to the first page is clear the cache on the first page.

    Here is an example of this work: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43401:35:0

    See you soon,.

  • Increase/decrease the number of text field?

    Hey there just playing on board and I'm trying to make a simple interactive (IE next buttons and back which got different labels).

    I had pimples just play and play in the opposite direction to the next or previous labels (I'm sure there is a better way to do it, so I'm all ears), but when I get to a label how can I get to increase/decrease a number text field without having to manually add each label (especially if there are 100 labels)?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey pancreas, it seems that you do not call the 'arrowBtnLt' and click 'arrowBtnRt', on the left/right arrow button functions.

    Put this on arrowBtnLt.click:

    sym.arrowBtnLt ();

    Put this on arrowBtnRt.click:

    sym.arrowBtnRt ();

    In addition, because your label will probably from 1, document.compositionReady, replace the default value for 'currentCount' and if statement value left button like this:

    Enter the code to run when the composition is fully charged here

    var currentCount = 1; / / count the current count

    var maxCount = 4; / / maximum number of slides, labels, images, whatever, you

    sym.arrowBtnLt = function() {}

    If (currentCount > 1) {}

    -currentCount;

    update your text

    sym.getSymbol("pgNum").$("pgText").html (currentCount + "'") ;// convert number to string

    go to label on the timeline

    }

    }

    call this when the click on the arrow to the right

    sym.arrowBtnRt = function() {}

    If (currentCount<>

    currentCount ++;

    update your text

    sym.getSymbol("pgNum").$("pgText").html (' currentCount + "");

    go to label on the timeline

    }

    }
