• F8as2-display leading zeros in a dynamic text field

  F8as2-

  Background:

  Currently, I use two different text fields to display because of different font size 10000.

  The 10 is a larger size font and 000 is a smaller font.  When I assign ' 0 ' for dynamic text from the smaller font fields I get just that '0' is not a "000" which is what I want. "

  Question:

  Is there an easy way to display zeros in a dynamic text field?  Or a dynamic text field can cause different character positions displayed in different font sizes?  or both?

  Thanks for the help.

  the only way you can view 'number' as you want, not the way that flash wants, is to use ropes.

  texteformatage is a response to another question, that you had on the display of the different font sizes in a textfield.

• 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.

• Dynamic text field changes color but the bullets are not html text.

  I am tarea to use a dynamic text field to shoot in the html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But don't take the balls on the color assigned to the field. I tried to put in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and no work. Someone can help me. This should be a simple solution, but I'm not... I want my text and bullets to both be white.

  Simple code below. Using html text inside the document flash and presence of a PivotTable field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and green balls, but it does not work, only the text goes green

  This.txt.html = true;

  var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  my_fmt. Color = 0x00FF00; hexadecimal value corresponding to green

  this.txt.htmlText = "< P > This is the first paragraph < /P > < BR > < UL > < LI > Bullet 1 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 2 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 3 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 4 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 5 < /LI > < /UL >";
  this.txt.setTextFormat (my_fmt);

  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  works for me:

  

  create a new fla and add a textfield, the name of your instance and copy/paste the code that I have proposed.  any problem?

• Flash CS5 glitch with setChildIndex and dynamic text fields?

  Since the upgrade to CS5 to have two distinct problems.

  I have a clip with 5 images.  When I'm on frame 3 (main game) and I use the command setChildIndex on one on-screen element existing on the framework itself, the item in question will now be added to permenantly stage and will persist through the management remaining (end and end the game).  This behavior was not present in the project until I converted it to CS5.  If I remove the setChildIndex command, the on-screen elements stop their depth of sorting (as your would expect) and they bleed is more in the next section, which is at the end of the level.

  I also have problems with a dynamic text field.  It is currently set to don't not selectable, but when you hover over the field it shows the symbol for the pointer of your mouse cursor, and when you click it, a highlight of small block appears to the left or to the right of the field.  You cannot change the contents of the field, or even select them, but if you try a small black mark selection appears at the end of the field.  I destroyed and recreated this field, and the bahavior seems to remain the same.

  Any other experience of these questions, or something similar with CS5?

  using any actionscript code that adds a DisplayObject instance to the list of display (including the definition of its index) has always caused this behavior.  which is expected.

  to remove this item use removeChild() or removeChildAt().

  to disable the cursor changes during a textfield, assign the property mouseChildren of the parent of the textfield property to false.

• Dynamic text field showing only the number 2.

  I am writing a scrolling shooting game and I have a dynamic text field that keeps the score.  Running inside an ENTER_FRAME event listener, it updates all the images.  By tracing the variable "score", I get the good numbers appearing in the output tab, but on the screen, I see only the number 2. It doesn't matter what position in the number, it is (ie: 20, or 10372 or 521), this digit will be displayed.  If there is no number 2 in the partition, the field shows that the word "" Score: "."

  The variable is declared as such:

  var score: int = 0;

  "The text field is called scorecard and is set to"Classic text"and a dynamic text ' and it's 638 pixels wide (almost the entire width of the scene).

  Here's the code to update the scorecard:

  scoreCard.text = "Note:" + score.

  trace (score);

  The track was simply put in to see if the score was being counted until properly, what is.

  I also tried to eliminate "Score:" and simply used:

  scoreCard.text = score.toString ();

  and got the same results.

  Any ideas of what could be the cause?  From everything I've read, this method should work.

• link to the function in the dynamic text field

  so I have a dynamic text field that needs to display something like...
  
  You have been identified as Syd Barrett. If it is incorrect, click here
  
  the dynamic part is the name of Syd Barrett in this example, which is introduced by a variable. now how the word 'here' to become a link to an ActionScript function and a different color?
  

  I was wondering how to do this also. There is a global function called asfunction, described in language AS as Reference: a special protocol for URLS in HTML text fields that allows an HREF link call an ActionScript function.
  The code below is what you're after. Your use does not need the setting but I included it for info. The parameter must be a single string, so if you want to pass multiple values, you need to analyze the in your function.

• Assign the XML content to dynamic text fields

  Hey there,

  After the search in the forums, I found that I can load files XML and content to animate CC using the XMLHttpRequest, but how do I load content in a specific dynamic text field?

  I found a few answers that confirm that we should use XMLHttpRequest and some users who made it work, but not how. Any help would be much appreciated.

  Below is how I added the request and how the dynamic field has been implemented.

  This.frame_0 = function() {}

  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {}

  If (xhttp.readyState == 4 & & xhttp.status == 200) {}

  myFunction (xhttp);

  }

  };

  xhttp. Open ("GET","profil.xml", true);

  xhttp. Send();

  Function myFunction (xml) {}

  var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;

  document.getElementsByTagName("nameTextField").innerHTML = / * this part is not correct, but so far I have found no better solution * /.

  xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName ("title") [0] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [0] .nodeValue;

  }

  }

  And for the text field (created by animate CC):

  	this.nameTextField is new syc. Text ("", "53px 'Arial'");
  	this.nameTextField.name = "nameTextField";
  	this.nameTextField.textAlign = 'center ';
  	this.nameTextField.lineHeight = 61;
  	this.nameTextField.lineWidth = 388;
  	this.nameTextField.setTransform (265,124.4);

  this.timeline.addTween (syc. Tween.get (this.nameTextField). Wait (2));

  I really hope someone can help, I spent hours looking and trying solutions.

  See you soon,.

  As already said:

• Dynamic text field not updated to actionscript in the 2nd Frame

  I have a clip with two frames. In the 2nd frame there is a clip that has a text field.

  My goal is to some events that I will be proposing to the frame that has the clip with the text field.

  I'm trying to update the text field with a code something like: -.

  public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

  {

  My goal is to certain events show the clip with the text field

  questBG.gotoAndStop ("glow");

  arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field

  }

  After some time I again back to the framework that has no movie clip masking so the clip

  public void masquer()

  {

  questBG.gotoAndStop ("idle");

  }

  The text field not updated since the actionscript code even if trace (arrowText.text) shows the updated value.

  Now, if I remove the clip of frames & change the updateTxtFld() as

  public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

  {

  (questBG.getChildByName ('arrowBG') as Sprite) .visible = true;

  arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field

  }

  Then it works very well with the updated text in the text field. It seems that there seems to be a problem in dynamic text field update in frames.

  I also checked that the incorporation of text is fine in both cases

  I created the FLAS using CS Professional 5.5 & I am trying to change the text field using actionscript running in Flex Builder 4.7.   Let me know if I need to send the fla (working and non-working version).

  you are the assignment of text to arrowText before the timeline then moves to "shine".

  Use the render event to assign the text:

  public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

  {

  My goal is to certain events show the clip with the text field

  questBG.gotoAndStop ("glow");

  internship. Invalidate();

  this.addEventListener (Event.RENDER, assignTextF);

  }

  function assignTextF(e:Event):void {}
  arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field
  }

• External text of county line dynamic text field

  Hello friends,

  I've done a scroll bar, , but now I have a problem, need to read the number of lines dynamic text field and If it is greater than x show the scrollbar and hide if is less.

  Like this:

  if(Text.instance>7) {}

  ScrollBar._visible = true;

  }

  else {}

  ScrollBar._visible = false;

  }

  My problem is How do I count the total of lines of dynamic text field after load an external text.

  then either:

  1. what you see is not aplicationScroll or

  2. you have more than 1 scrollbar named aplicationScroll or

  3. you have the code runs also change the aplicationScroll to true _visible property.

• Dynamic text field will not wrap text

  I have a dynamic text field in my clip. This text field has built-in fonts and behavior is set to Multiline.  When I add text to it, it will not display text that wraps past the first line.

  trace() "before textField.numLines =" ( + textField.numLines); "."

  textField.text = "test a verrrrry looooooooong striiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggg";

  trace () "after textField.numLines =" ( + textField.numLines); "."

  Track orders show that the number of lines is increasing, but Flash does not display the text beyond the first line.  Anyone have any idea whats going on?

• Dynamic text field

  I created a dynamic text field where I have put in a lot of HTML code.

  Because it is too long, I used a scrollbar by default and simply abandoned on the ground so that it is linked to the.

  When I try the bar is here but I see just the arrow from the top and the bottom; the central part is not visible and I can't scroll down the HTML content.

  Any idea?

• problem by turning the dynamic text field

  Hi all

  In an application, I created a dynamic text field and then try to shoot with the _rotation method but it became invisible. Please respond if anyone knows something about this.

  If you do not see your text, you're not embed fonts.

  When you use actionscript to embed a font, you must have the fonts in your library with a connection id, create a textformat instance and assign the property and finally give the textformat to your textfield.  for example

  _root.createTextField ("txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth (), 50,50,50, 50);
  _root.txt.embedFonts = true;
  _root.txt.text = "Hello";
  _root.txt._rotation = 20;

  var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

  Tfor.font = "yourfontslinkageid";   // <- linkage="" id="" of="" font="" in="" your="">

  _root.txt.setTextFormat (Tfor);
