Dynamic text for the JS CS4 sorta block size

I play with the idea of ranking by size of the text boxes based on the text I want to put in it. What I hope is that someone will respond with an actua existiing function that does this.

For example, the GraphicLabel script.

I want the text block just big enough to fit in the name of the graphic file.

I can come close, putting the file name string in a variable and by entering the length. Then I multiply that my a certain number of points. But it's only for exact most, due to the width of different typefaces. It's rough I mean.

Are there somehting I can do to get it closer. Like a stitch length, or something?

myDoc var = app.activeDocument;
var myTF = myDoc.textFrames [0];
var myViewPr = myDoc.viewPreferences;
var myHM = myViewPr.horizontalMeasurementUnits;
var myVM = myViewPr.verticalMeasurementUnits;
myViewPr.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters;
myViewPr.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters;

so that {(myTF.overflows)
var myBounds = myTF.geometricBounds;
myBounds [3] += 1;
myTF.geometricBounds = myBounds;
}

myViewPr.horizontalMeasurementUnits = myHM;
myViewPr.verticalMeasurementUnits = myVM;

  • dynamic text from the text vs PHP file

    OK, I'm at the last part of my project. He worked all the wells and the reading of the file as seen on all fields of text in a text:

    http://www.myblueranch.com/index2.html

    now, I'm trying to get the same thing from MYSQL.

    Notice that the text file that I used to index2.html is called

    www.myblueranch.com/trees1.txt

    and it's a copy/paste directly from the php page that gave the MYSQL query results. (the query php page is :)

    www.myblueranch.com/flash_names.php

    The problem is that I am getting an error in

    www.myblueranch.com/index.html

    that uses php to get the text for the dynamic fields.

    I get the following error:

    TypeError: Error #2007: text parameter must be non-null.

    to flash. text::TextField / set text()

    at final_fla::MainTimeline/onDataLoad()

    my flash animation has 113 keys called button_1-> button_113 and 113 dynamic text-> tcname_113 fields tcname_1

    My AC3 code is as follows:

    Links button: all the buttons to open in iframe "tdes.

    link en button number

    I have 113 buttons.

    for (var i: int = 1; i < = 130; i ++) {}

    {if (this ["button_" + i])}

    This ["button_" + i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, f);

    }

    }

    function f(e:MouseEvent):void {}

    var n: String = e.currentTarget.name.split ("_") [1];

    }

    end of the links button

    Create the instance of URLLOader

    var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()

    Could be an error or a message

    TF. Visible = true;

    tf.textColor = 0xff0000;

    }

    MAKE working capital change color and make invisible

    function buttonout(e:Event) {}

    var tf:TextField = TextField (this ["tcname_" + e.currentTarget.name.split ("_") [1]]);

    tf.textColor = 0 x 000000;

    TF. Visible = false;

    }

    reminders of the error

    function onIOError(evt:IOErrorEvent) {}

    trace ("IOError:" + evt.text)

    }

    function onHTTPStatus(evt:HTTPStatusEvent) {}

    trace ("HTTPStatus:" + evt.status)

    }

    function onSecurityError(evt:SecurityErrorEvent) {}

    trace ("SecurityError:" + evt.text)

    }

    OK by adding '&' in the beginning was not a good idea, it seems that the best way is really to change your PHP so that it includes no extra blank characters at the beginning, but if you want to manage this side Flash you can do the following:

    1. restore your PHP to how it was before the return data do not begin by '& '.

    2. Remove myLoader.dataFormat = pouvez; so that the loader loads the data as string

    3. in your onDataLoad function follow these steps:

    function onDataLoad(evt:Event):void {
         var data:String = e.target.data;
         data = data.replace(/\s/g, ""); // remove extra white spaces from the data received
         var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(data); // create URLVariables object from the data string
         trace(vars.tcname_1); // traces "CherokeeSweetGum"
         ...
    }

  • Static text is much better than the dynamic text with the same font settings

    There is a slight difference, but I would not say much better. Incorporate you the dynamic text characters.

  • When using the 'tools', 'Interactive objects', 'Add a button', how to make the text for the button name is displayed? I have tried everything and only the background, or lacxk, appears.

    I created a pdf document using Adobe Acrobat XI base and want to put a link on each page, return to the table of contents. However, the tool "Add a link" I cannot place this link on each page at a time. Accordingly, I used the tool 'Add a button' interactive Actions that allows me to do what I want.

  • Change the color of text for the hyperlink in the Blog module

    How to change the color of text for the hyperlink in the Blog module?  I tried to add the code:

    text-decoration: none;

    in the HTML code, but maybe I only am not inserted correctly.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hi Casey,.

    Make sure also that you have nothing referring to the color attribute in your CSS.  For example on my test site screen.css control it is here an example of using Firebug to find this.

    If still stuck and specify the site and help further.

  • Show dynamic text inside the title for several images on mouseover

    I have 25 animated Clips dragged on the stage and they have for instance similar names for easier manipulation purposes within programming using loops. The instance names look like this: image0, image1, image2 and so on.

    Whenever I'm mouseover on one of these unique images, I want to show the unique title of this image using all securities as a dynamic text named imageTitle container.

    I managed to do this job image by image, but that would require me to copy paste and modify the following code for each image.

    image0.onRollOver = function() { 
        imageTitle.text = "First image title";
        imageTitle.textColor = 0x000000; // setting the text color here
      };



    image0.onRollOut = function() { 
        imageTitle.text = "Choose an image";
        imageTitle.textColor = 0x000000;
    }; 

    Question: The above code wouldn't work, but seems redundant to me. Since I was the name of similar instances (image0, image1,..., image24), how can I put this code inside a loop or something to work for all the images without repeating this code 25 times.

    Update: I've added a table for the project that contains all titles:

    var imagesTitles = new Array("First image title", "Second image title", .... );  

    :

    imageTitle.textColor = 0 x 000000;

    for (var i: Number = 0; i<>

    This ["image" + i] .ivar = i;  key stage

    {This ["image" + i] .onRollOver = Function ()}

    imageTitle.text = imagesTitles [this.ivar];  milestone used here

    }

    {This ["image" + i] .onRollOut = Function ()}

    imageTitle.text = "" Choose image ";"

    }
    }

  • Can not see the dynamic text on the music video for the main stage

    Hello

    I'm a complete newbie to Actionscript using Flash MX. I created a clip with a dynamic text box which works fine when I test the movieClip stage.   I brought that on the main movie timeline, and when I go to test the movie, dynamic text no longer works.  I tried actionsript options on the main timeline and the chronology of the film but can not know where I am going wrong. Could someone give me a procedure not to not very basic as to what I have to do to make this work?

  • Field validation text for the time format

    Hi all

    I have been breaking my head for almost 2 weeks, but am not able to figure it out... Please help me solve the riddle... here, it will:

    In a text field, I want to perform an operation in the following way:

    > a text default to 00:00:00 is defined at the moment as the text field is for the moment and the length in characters of the field is 8.

    > if the cursor is in position 0 (zero) and if I press a number of key it should replace the value of the 0 position and move the cursor to the next position.

    for example: 00:00:00

    20:00

    explanation : now the cursor is in position 0 and I press the 2 key it should replace the value 0 in position 0 and den move the cursor on the position 1 ie. next position...

    When I press a button not digital it shouldn't replace the value, but the slider should move to the next position.

    This seems to work ok. You need to test more, however. I've added a few properties for the hours, minutes and seconds as well.

  • Dynamic text behind the image?

    Hello, I have this dynamic text box where im loading a number, which works very well, but then im loading an image from a table on the same place that the number and adds the image to the text box. How can I get the number on the top of the image? THX.

    Code for the part:

    var images_array:Array = new Array ("Sun", "MON", "Tue", "Wed", "Game", "Fri", "Sat");

    var wkDayPic:Date = new Date();

    var wk_day:String = images_array [wkDayPic.getDay ()];

    var day: Number = time.getDate ();

    var year: Number = time.getFullYear ();

    var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();

    my_loader. Load (new URLRequest (wk_day + ".gif"));

    addChild (my_loader);

    my_loader.x = 80;

    my_loader.y = - 55;

    dayNr.text = days + "";

    Try to use: addChild (dayNr);   just after the line where you addChild (my_loader)

  • Release date of variable text for the previous month?

    I'm automating a package of reports based on the data received on the following month, day 8. I need models to pull in the month statement , not the month I publish to the course. Is it possible to perform such a feat? See you soon.

    You simply define the content of a block of text with the variable.

    There are several ways to do so, but if you put something weird in the model as XXXXXXXX you can use a search/replace.

    var x = new Date();

    with (x)

    {

    setDate (1);

    setMonth (getMonth () - 1);

    }

    var months = new Array();

    months [0] = "Jan";

    months [1] = "Feb.";

    months [2] = "March";

    months [3] = "April";

    months [4] = "may";

    months [5] = "June";

    months [6] = "July";

    months [7] = "Aug.";

    months [8] = 'Seven.';

    months [9] = "October";

    months [10] = "Nov";

    months [11] = 'Dec.';

    var y = x.getFullYear ();

    var m = month [x.getMonth ()];

    var lastmonth = m + "" + y;

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    Clear the find/change text preferences.

    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

    Set the search options.

    app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;

    app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;

    Search the document for the string "XXXXXXXX" and change it to "text".

    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "XXXXXXXX";

    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = lastmonth;

    myDocument.changeText ();

    Clear the find/change text preferences after the search.

    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

    That save you and run when you open the document.

    Read the Guide to the script is a good thing to do no matter if it works for you, this time.

    In a pure AS3 project, I have a field of dynamic text with 2 hyperlinks (onelink call a URL via href, in the Middle, one at the end to call a visible closing function = false, the field).

    I use the tags < u > < / u > with < a >, but when I try to turn on the Blue hypertext links (#0x0000FF) using the < font color = "#0x0000FF" >, nothing happens. The Adobe livedocs still show the tags do, including the color for Flash and AIR.

    For example, if I use the tag are, the following displays, point stressed and don't link works OK, but no color change.

  • Dynamic text from the text file problem

    Go step by step to get my data from MYSQL/php... for now, I'm stuck and cannt even get it from a text file I do worng!

    This is the code I use:

    var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()

    myLoader.dataFormat = pouvez

    myLoader.load (new URLRequest ("trees.txt"))

    myLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoad)

    function onDataLoad(evt:Event) {}

    for (var i: uint = 0; i < evt.target.data.cant; i ++) {}

    This ["tcname_" + i] .text = evt.target.data ["tcname_" + i]

    }

    }

    My trees.txt file contains the following:

    Plum = tcname_0 & tcname_1 = olive

    I made this as well:

    & tcname_0 = Asian plum & tcname_1 = Amazon lily &

    I have already created a few instances of dynamic text from tcname_0 up to tcname_5

    I tried with having the text in dynamic text or leave it empt anyway... nothing is read from the text file, what I am doing wrong?

    In your trees.text file, you neglected to include the variable of cant, so the loop has an undefined value to life...

    Plum = tcname_0 & tcname_1 = olive & cant = 2

  • Dynamic text in the swf test tube

    Hello. I have a dynamic text field in an external swf file loaded. His digital clock so I want the numbers to date in the dynamic text field.
    This isn't my exact code, but it is very similar. I show below I have add the loader.swf and once its loading is finished, I can work on his videos and add listeners for events to its buttons, etc. but I can't change the dynamic text field (his 'classic text' value 'dynamic text'). After doing it, the text just stay empty because it is in the external swf file).

    Here is the code example:
    ---------------------------

    ( var loader: Loader = new Loader()();

    charger. load ()new URLRequest ()"loader.swf"()();

    charger. contentLoaderInfo. addEventListener () Event. ( COMPLETE, load();

    function load () event: Event():void{ }

    Charger addChild ()();

    var loader_mc:MovieClip = ()loader. ( content as MovieClip()

    loader_mc. myMovieClip. Stop (2); //***This works

    loader_mc. myButton_btn. addEventListener () MouseEvent. ( CLICK, clickMe (); It works

    loader_mc. myText_txt. text = "12"; //***This not work *

    }

    ----------------------------

    Help, please. Thank you!

    Did you embed you the fonts in the textfield - it must be done in the loaded swf file when you create? Another thing to check is that the color of the textfield object is not the same as the background on what is sitting.

  • Document text for After effect Cs4

    When I created the text in Photoshop and import to After Effects, then it will show "transform" not "text".

    How can I create the document text for After Effects...?

    Thanks for reading and the little help please

    Creating text in legacy is really easy.

    Create a new publication

    Go to layer > new > text.

    Write what you want.

    You can animate text by using transformation options, or you can apply the animation presets that are really cool.
