• 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.

• Loading external/dynamic text fields

  I have a recurring problem with my fle flash and it involves add external SWF and dynamic text files.

  Here goes...

  My flash is implemented with 5 sections. Each separate section is composed different maintimeline on frames and labeled. SO, when you click on a section in the navigation bar it tells the movie to access this section labeled on chronology. On each article, there is a space for the external txt file or an external swf. I've done many tutorials on how to load these things and I can actually get them to load when I put the instance of them on the first image with the code of the main action. BUT I still want more in the timeline panel.

  For example... When you click on a section, I put the area of dynamic text on this article which is further down in the timeline panel. When I test the movie I see that the text box there, but there is no text in there. When I put the same text on image 1 box, it works. SO I think it has something to do with the code to find the instance further to the bottom of the timeline.

  I hope this makes sense... I enclose my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I see this as a recurring problem for me in each section.

  Thank you! Sandra

  You must wait until you are on the frame where the textfield must try to assign the text - you can't assign text if it is not present.  You can probably load all the text and saved it as a variable in frame 1, but this variable must be available on the framework where you assign the textfield text charge.

• load dynamic text field text, font is not displayed correctly

  I have a flash movie 8, in which there is a dynamic text field, load data from the server. Data loading beautifully and appears in a text field as html.
  
  This text as html field uses a style sheet and that works fine for everything except the font. With the help of Flash, I've specified a font of DIN-Medium for the dynamic text on my stage box and still the text that appears when I publish to my Web host seems to be Times New Roman. WTF?
  
  My style sheet specifies no any font family.
  
  Can anyone tell me how I could get the dynamic text box to display the text using the font DIN? Do I need to export the police in the library of my animation flash or something?
  
  

  I have it working now. The question was how I chose to incorporate fonts. I changed some incorporate settings and it seems to work now.

• 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.

• 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)

• Why my dynamic text fields are not complete?

  For some reason are not filling most of my fields of dynamic text. The only new thing before it stopped working correctly, I added was a new button, but anyway... Whether or not I take the key, no text field is filling. It is on all the layers I have. If I change the font of text fields, they begin to fill in correctly... and when I do all the characters of the same type... they begin to fill not more!

• 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.

  var textField:TextField = tip_txt; text inside my video field

  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?

  Thank you!

  textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

  This fixes the issue :))

• 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.

• 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);

• problems of dynamic text field

  I work with my .fla file and an external .as file. I have some things to work the way I want and now I am trying to add a dynamic text field to my .fla file. I added the text dynamic on stage manually (not using the action script code) field and when I publish my file I get the following error message.

  1046: type was not found or is not a constant of compilation: TextField.

  Do I need to add an 'import' to the front of my .as file? I currently have these import statements...

  import flash.display.MovieClip;
  Import 12345678910111213import;
  import flash.display.Loader;
  import flash.events. *;
  flash.net import. *;

  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  You need import flash.text.TextField

• 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.

• Variables and dynamic text fields

  OK, so I'm a complete dunce, but I only use Flash for a few days so please be patient with me.
  
  All I want to do is a dynamic text field to view a variable using Actionscript. The code is below, but it won't work. Can someone please advise? I have to use LoadVars? I thought it was just for the external data.

  just a little mistake

  var myValue:String = "text to display";
  This.icon_mc.icon_txt. Text = myValue;

• 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".

• 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:

  this.mydynamictextfield.text = "hello I am text in a dynamic text field";
  

  If you need really, really specific, it would be in this case:

  this.mydynamictextfield.text = animals[0];
