Dynamic text / text entry format font color

I have a single variable called firstname, and two text fields on the screen, a dynamic text at the top right to display the user name in a small gray font and a larger field of seizure in the middle of the screen. Both have the variable value to firstname, but each field is formatted differently (for example, color, font size, alignment).

When I type the text in the larger field, the size/color/alignment of policies changes abruptly in the smaller field. How can I keep the formatting, but update only the variable?

Auto Kern has not been verified.

I didn't know how to get Flash to stop copying of text formatting and the text, but I found a simple solution.

Do not give the text field variable names. Give them names of instance instead and run this command when you want to update the value of one with the content of the other:

myTextField1.text = myTextField2.text;

Which copy the text, not the formatting.

  • Problems of text entry format

    Hello

    hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Don't know why, but a hard time defining the format for text input fields. When the user types it text. I'm having no problem formatting of other dynamic text fields within the same framework. Here is my code, you can see that I'll put up three instances, field1, field2, and field3. I tried to format in each specific to each instance createTextField and the code below attempts to do it at the end. Do I have to set the fieldx.text =?

    THX...

    This.createTextField("hello_txt",0,10,10,100,20) ("field1", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 20, 60, 40, 20);
    Field1.variable = 'area_code ';
    Field1.Type = "input";
    Field1. Border = true;
    Field1. BorderColor = 0xCCCCCC;
    Field1. Background = 0xFFFFFF;
    Field1.maxChars = 3;

    This.createTextField("hello_txt",0,10,10,100,20) ("Field2", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 20, 40, 60, 85);
    Field2.variable = "prefix";
    Field2.Type = "input";
    Field2.border = true;
    Field2.BorderColor = 0xCCCCCC;
    Field2.background = 0xFFFFFF;
    Field2.maxChars = 3;

    This.createTextField("hello_txt",0,10,10,100,20) ("field3", this.getNextHighestDepth (), 20, 40, 60, 145);
    field3.variable = "suffix";
    field3.Type = "input";
    field3. Border = true;
    field3. BorderColor = 0xCCCCCC;
    field3. Background = 0xFFFFFF;
    field3.maxChars = 4;

    Field1.setTextFormat (field_fmt);
    Field2.setTextFormat (field_fmt);
    field3.setTextFormat (field_fmt);

    You must use setNewTextFormat() to the shape of the text which is enterered after your application a textformat to textfield. Using setTextFormat(), text entered before application your textformat.

  • How to create a counter with timer and the dynamic text field?...

    I am creating a 'meter' item that uses a dynamic text box formatted for decompter.1 in increments of 3 times per second, from a specified value (so the viewer would see 3.1, 3.2 then... etc.)

    Here's the code so far:

    var counter:Number;
    counter = 3.0
    
    counterText.text=(String(counter));
    
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
    timer.start();
    
    function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void
    {
        ???
    }
    
    

    What I can't understand, is what should go in the box function for ajouter.1 seconds whenever the clock cycles. Any help would be appreciated!

    use:

    var counter:Number = 3.0;var increment:Number = .1;var upperlimit:Number = 12;
    
    counterText.text=(String(counter));
    
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(333);timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);timer.start();

  • dynamic text field WordWrap is different on screen/print

    I have a strange problem - I put the contents of a dynamic text field (arial font) and he wordwraps somehow on the screen, and then when I print the same text field it encapsulates a little differently.

    which means on a textfield can be a line over long print flash think it is is (using textHeight), changing my layout code...

    any ideas?

    Stop press! I think I found the cause of problem/solution and that's to do with the smoothing option that I had selected. According to livedocs impression is not supported with advanced and custom anti-aliasing features. but as the anti-alias for animation is the smoothing option 'simple' (IE available prior to flash 8 and advanced anti-aliasing) should hopefully out more systematically (or at least that's what I see in practice).

    so the solution to ensure that the text field has been constantly printed with what was shown on the screen was to change "anti-alias for readability" to "anti-alias for animation".

  • Keep the text formatting by using dynamic text...

    Hello

    I try to keep the format of a text I wrote in Word or InDesign CS4 using a dynamic text field (multiline)...

    So far, I have unsuccessfully...  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Unfortunately, you can not paste html formatting in textfields.  While you can format the textfield itself for font, size, color and other features, html formatting must be affected by the code, and Flash supports only a limited number of html tags.

  • Selector of colors and dynamic text fields

    Hello

    Good so I have two problems here, and I don't know how to solve one of them!

    Problem 1.
    Change the font of a dynamic text field. I know how to do this with the properties of text etc format using action script, but I don't know how if you create a text field in the action script.

    I need to change the font of the text in a dynamic text field that is created and remains on the scene. I have a clip, and inside that movie clip is the text field, with all the content properly shaped. If I had to add the text field using action script I loose all the formatting. So is that nothing at all that I can change the text field properties by using script of action of a dynamic text field created on the stage?

    Problem 2.
    The color picker component! I want to use the color selector component to change the color of the text in the above dynamic text box. No doubt, I have the same problem as above, but this side, I can't work out how to draw the color from the color picker value when the user selects. I tried to use the ColorPickerEvent ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE knowledge... and so on. However, I am coding on the frame instead of an external action script file. and when I export the movie, the following error message appears: 1046: Type was not found or is not a constant of compilation: ColorPickerEvent.

    Someone at - it ideas how can I remedy this?

    Your help will be greatly appreciated, it is part of my studies and have been fighting for a time: S

    Many thanks for you help in advance

    Jude :D

    I don't know if I understand the problem of text format that you are experiencing. Looks like you want to have text that is already formatted to change to another format.

    If this is the case, simply set the new text format whenever the time comes to do so.

    If you have...

    var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    Format1.font = "arial";
    Format1. Size = 14;

    var format2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    format2.font = "papyrus."
    format2.size = 28;

    Then you can switch between the two formats according to the needs...

    tField.setTextFormat (format1);

    tField.setTextFormat (format2);

    as long as these formats are in the scope of their guest.

  • Formatting dynamic text (box) [AS2]

    Hello

    I have a button called B and a dynamic text box called T

    How can I make the text box

    (1) fill color change?

    (2) change font of a text?

    (3) to change the font style of the text to "BOLD" or regular?

    (4) to a line of color around the frame?

    To place the text in the frame to click the button I would use

    B.onRelease = function() {T.text = "foo"};

    Also is it possible to change the color of a button by clicking or by moving over it?

    I need to do this in AS2

    Thanks in advance

    To manipulate the font of the text in the textfield, you must use the TextFormat class and the setTextFormatmethod of the TextField.  The help documentation should have examples if you linger, and you should be able to find useful information by using Google.  Here is a link to the TextFormat class we have on the web: http://docs.brajeshwar.com/as2/TextFormat.html

    To change the characteristics of the textfield also far than go to background and border colors, the TextField class has properties to those that you can set.  Here is a link to the same site linked above, but for the information of class TextField.

    When dynamically, you create objects and add as children of other objects, the dot notation no longer works as it does when you create manually.  You must use the getChildByName() or methods for getChildAt() target.

    A cleaner to do this is to declare the textfield outside the addTextonStage function, as you did for the fontsContainer.  Then you can target it directly whatever make you a child, just as you did for the fontsContainer.

  • Problems with the formatting of the dynamic text box

    I'm under the questions with the help of HTML formatting for a dynamic text field. I know these are weird and I can't understand how to get the formatting right.

    I have on my scene a dynamic text called «content_txt' inside a movie clip instance «content_mc» box When he enters the frame, I just broke down the "content_mc" of the alpha of 0 to 100 with a scenario animation. So that this works, I have to incorporate the police in my text field 'content_txt '. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed fonts.

    The dynamic text field is configured to render as HTML. In my layer actions, I put the text:

    this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."

    In summary:

    1. If I do not embed fonts, the alpha fade does not work but HTML formatting doesn't.

    2. If I incorporate police, the alpha fade works but HTML formatting does not work.

    How to solve this? It's driving me crazy!

    then you're not g-d instructions.

    You should have two textfields.  the one on the boards that you started with and that incorporates your normal font (not bold).  and a slide that takes the same family of fonts with license "BOLD".  Repeat the test.

  • Internal dynamic text formatting using HTML tags in As3... Help!

    I'm for a solution of navigation for about 2 hours, but I can't find anything that could help. I have a dynamic text field, and I want to format it, (to highlight the first 2 words in red and the rest in italics). Usually, I load external .txt files and I use HTML tags to format the text inside. But this time I have to do internally.

    Is it possible to do?

    Kind regards!

    You mean you want to format your text in the textfield with html like tags for example this one?

    yourtextfield. htmlText = "Hello it!"

    This underlines the 'Hello' and bolden ' here! You can add the css inline style too to add the colors of the background also.

  • Dynamic text field color change

    Is it possible to change the color of a field of dynamic text through Actionscript? I use 2.0. I know how to change a button or mc color, but not a text field. The text field is currently defined as a string. Thank you.

    The color of the text string that is displayed can be changed, but not the color of the string. Strings are quite a few tables of characters... aka data. Display a channel on the scene, only to be placed in a TextField. The TextField is the place where the Visual attributes of a chain are managed (font, size, color, etc.).

    TextFields have many properties, which is the text. The text property is assigned the value of string which assimilate you to.

    TextField.text = String
