Discoloration/output dynamic textfield with AS3

• Question of dynamic textfield with some specific device fonts

  Hello!

  I am facing a serious problem here, and any testing I try to do, led to no solution...

  I have a few dynamic textfield with assigned "Arial Unicode MS" font in Flash CC2014, and "use device fonts" for anti-aliasing settings.

  These textfield are powered by xml.

  Everything works fine in Flash CS6, BUT when I publish a SWF with CC2014, the textfields do not show the "Arial Unicode MS", but something more resembling a police 'Times '. Nothing like "Arial" anyway... When I load the fla in CS6, no problem. Even if I re-record the fla with CS6, as soon as it is loaded in the CS2014, the published SWF shows the same 'Times' of fonts.

  I know that some of you have already faced this problem, but I have yet to see any solution.

  Is this a bug in CC2014? Is there a solution? (except the CS6 FLAS to edition )

  Thanks in advance for your help...

  Hello

  There seems to be a difference in the name of the font family specified via the Panel properties and the police that gets applied on the field of text in Swf (for specific fonts only). This difference is causing police to the rescue of a default one instead of use the one specified. We will connect this as a bug and study in their own country.

  In the meantime, you can add this feature in your fla files to manually specify the correct font family name through Actionscript.

  import flash.text.TextFormat;

  import flash.text.TextField;

  fixFont (txtLabel, "ABCD 1234! @# $") //txtLabel is the instance name of text on stage"

  function fixFont (myTextInstance:TextField, myText:String) {}

  myTextInstance.text = myText;

  var tf:TextFormat = myTextInstance.getTextFormat ();

  TF.font = "Arial Unicode MS";

  myTextInstance.setTextFormat (tf);

  }

  I hope it works for you.

• button with textfield with as3

  Hi all, I am having a little problem, I did a movieClip who use as a button (activate the cursor hand with buttonMode = true) and create a textfield to be used inside the object, at this stage, everything works very well, but whenever the cursor is over the text, changue that forms to make the text selectable.

  Ever tried to use "miText1.selectable = false" with in this case don't select anything when is on.

  There is a way to disable selectable text property, but keeping the buttonMode on?

  This is part of the script

  var miBut1:but = new but();

  var miText1:TextField = new TextField();

  var miFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  miFormat1.font = "Times New Roman";
  miFormat1.bold = true;
  miFormat1.color = 0xFFFFFF;
  miFormat1.size = 25;
  miFormat1.align = 'center';

  miText1.text = "item 1";

  addChild (miBut1);

  miBut1.addChild (miText1);

  miText1.setTextFormat (miFormat1);

  miText1.selectable = false;

  miBut1.buttonMode = true;

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  See if the addition of this line helps:

  miBut1.mouseChildren = false;

• Dynamic TextField (with content in the chain) compiles on PC, dies on Mac.

  I have banners that have a large copy in an auto-scrolling movieclip.

  The drive works just dandy on a PC. When I have a co-worker use the same file, it turns off - nothing load in the TextField.  Worse, is that on a PC, the .swf scrolls to the end very well. On a Mac (Safari) the end of the copy does not stop the scroll bar.

  Here's the code used (on the main timeline):

  import TextField.StyleSheet;

  var styles = new TextField.StyleSheet ();

  styles.parseCSS (css);

  styles.setStyle ('body', {fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica, without serif', fontSize: '9px', color: '#000000', leading:'-1px ;'});"})

  styles.setStyle ('h1', {fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica, without serif', fontSize: '9px', color:' #3870B 7 ', fontWeight: 'bold'"});

  styles.setStyle ("li", {fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica, without serif', fontSize: '9px', color: '#000000', marginLeft:'-20px'});"})

  styles.setStyle ("subBul", {fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica, without serif', fontSize: '9px', marginLeft: '38px'"});

  styles.setStyle ("subBulPad", {fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica, without serif', fontSize: '9px', marginLeft: '48px'"});

  styles.setStyle ("a", {fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica, without serif', fontSize: '9px', color:' #424FA5 ', textDecoration:" underline", fontWeight: 'bold'});

  copyMC.scroll_content.copyContent._height = cH;

  copyMC.scroll_content.copyContent.html = true;

  copyMC.scroll_content.copyContent.htmlText = isi;

  };

  * This is a condensed version of the script, but the key is here

  I spent a ton of time searching to see if anyone else has had a similar problem and it doesn't look like it, so any suggestions as to why this goes out on a Mac (compilation and view) I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you!!

  After sleeping on it for a bit, I came to this approach different, removed the

  var contentHeight = copy.length/3.55;

  and contentHeight in the createTextArea (which is now only about 20)

  and added in

  copyMC.scroll_content.copyContent.autoSize = true;

  that worked perfectly.

  Thank you!

• The assignment of text to dynamic textfield

  How would you assign text to a dynamic textfield with code (html5)?

  The same way you do in a document of the ActionScript.

  this.myTexfield.text = "I am the model of a modern major-general.";

• Dynamic textfield isn't disappear with interpolation.

  For this, I have a textfield with a background within a movieclip. This mc is an interpolation assigned to see appear and disappear with different buttons. The textfield object displays the text of a file .txt outdoors and is set to multiline.
  Well the problem (as indicated by the title of the subject) is that the textfield object disappear at all.
  What's wrong?

• Change the text with AS3 makes the invisible text

  Hi all

  Even for a total n00b like me, this is awkward: I can't even change a text on the stage with as3.

  I place a text on my stage, assign the dynamics, incorporate the police and give it an instance name. When I change the text, he evacuated the scene or if it remains invisible, I don't know.

  I thought it would be as simple as this: myText.text = "new text";   but apparently I am doing something wrong. When I put a trace (myText.text);  before and after, I see the old and the new text in the output window. Then he changes correctly, but why he disappears it? Also tried in a new white project, to ensure that it was not something somewhere.

  I'm totally distraught...

  BTW I use Flash CS5.5 on Win7

  do not enter text in the ide.  Use actionscript to assign the original text of your textfield and also change.

• How to keep special characters in a dynamic textfield for textual comparison?

  The problem is the following:

  As I develop primarily for several languages, I have to have dynamic textfields in my buttons that contain three lines (to account for the different text.lengths in different languages).

  I then fill the textfields with strings from an array or an xml and use the contents of textfields later in my button class to run a different code based on the contents of textfields.

  It works fine as long as I don't use special characters, such as for example '\n '.

  var labels: Array = ["\nLABEL1","LABEL\n\n2"];

  ...

  Switch (e.currentTarget.txt.text)

  {

  labels box [0]:

  doSomething();

  break;

  [1] case labels:

  doSomethingElse();

  break;

  }

  ...

  Watch the good thing in the label of the button (breaks up the text were want it)

  but stops working

  (htmlText & < br > This is the same thing)

  My solution for now is to use spaces to fill,

  var labels:Array = ["                   LABEL1","LABEL                                                                        2"];

  but it's obviously ugly to set up and require a lot of trial/error to get it right for all languages.

  Any ideas how to get around this?

  This isn't a good idea to rely on the labels of the buttons to link to the feature at first - we shouldn't mix presentation and business logic. There is more than one dependencies. A better approach would be to separate the presentation logic.

• Parental and child control with AS3

  Hello

  I am new to AS3 and although I can see some good practices and functionality, I'm constantly stuck and can still do the things I would do if easily with AS2 - I almost it relearn from scratch!. I would still appreciate little help and advice on this...

  I did a class that creates a "sort" menu with data from an XML file, and basically is what he does when he is called to create an emptyMC (a container), add a childMC (a square) and add another child (a text label). When I create the container, I am trying to add a MouseEvent that can act on each instance of container, but all I can get is a MouseEvent on the object that contains all the MCs added. The code follows.

  Can someone enlight me with that issue or explain what I am doing wrong.

  I do not understand the parental dynamics with AS3 and the absence of the use of instance names and parenting dot does not help.

  Thanks in advance.

• Dynamic text with a button box

  I can't reference a dynamic text box in a button class.

  Here is my explanation:

  var rollButton:SimpleButton = new btnRoll;

  The name of the instance of the field text is: rollTxt

  Here is my code: rollButton.rollTxt.text = "1 Roll;

  Here is the error:

  1119: access of property may be undefined rollTxt through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

  The button itself works very well, and this way to access text works on all my other text fields in the program. Since it is a button I have to referece a frame or something?

  You hit it right with your last question.  Impossible to place a dynamic textfield or movieclip instance or whatever it is inside a simplebutton control and order them by name.  You may be able to create your own version/class that extends from SimpleButton to include a textfield.  Otherwise, you can create a MovieClip and use it instead of a control SimpleButton and do what you intend.

• Why do the mouseout/mouseouthandler() and mouseOver not work correctly when you use a dynamic textfield?

  Hello
  
  I made a movieclip with instance name: cs_btn
  
  Inside of that movieclip, I have two layers. Bottom and top button dynamic textfield.
  In this scenario, I have a 'more' 'out' 'down' and 'up' labels image.
  
  It works fine, but when I use a dynamic textfield, the passage of the mouse and the MouseDown event are triggered
  also when you hover over the textfield object. Even when I turned the selectable property.
  
  Any idea of what is the cause?
  
  In the main timeline, I made this script:
  
  function cs_buttonEvent(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  
  trace (Event.type);
  
  Switch (event.type) {}
  case "mouseDown":
  event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("down");

  case "mouseUp":
  event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("up");
  break;
  case 'mouseOver ':

  break;
  case 'mouseout/mouseouthandler() ':
  event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay ("out");

  by default:
  trace ("mouse five event");
  break;

  cs_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, cs_buttonEvent);
  cs_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, cs_buttonEvent);
  
  

  You can assign the check fake gold button mouseChildren property the

  function cs_buttonEvent(event:MouseEvent):void {}

• Feild dynamic text with dynamic ScrollBar

  I have a Feild dynamic text with a dynamic scroll bar.
  It loads a file of plain ASCI text with html formatting.
  but I still can't manage to get the text to format.
  
  The biggest problem with the format is a large space between paragraphs.
  I don't know why, but I think that the framework must need a var to render as html.
  Can anyone help please?

  I don't understand what you're asking. But if your textfield displays extra space between paragraphs using:

  var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
  my_lv. Our = {function (src:String)}
  If (src! = undefined) {}
  myTxtFeild.text = src.split("\n\r").join("\r").split("\r\n").join("\r");

  myTxtFile.text = "Error loading text.";

  my_lv. Load ("CadnetPage1_html.txt");

• TextField with an icon in

  Hello

  I would like to know if it would be possible to have a textfield with an icon on the left in this textfield. Someone suggested using a StackLayout and icon on the textfield of overlay, but I can't wrap my head on how to achieve this. Next to the icon of the overlay will not hide the text under?

  Thank you

  If you have available to battery including the properties the LefttoRight value, you might Label {} ImageView {} {} Label and icon should appear in line with the text.  Or if you have absolute available you could precisely where the icon is displayed on the control screen and wrap text around it.
