masking dynamic text

Newbie here, so try to not be offended if it is really stupid...

Is there anyway to use a mask on a dynamic text field. When I add a layer mask over my dynamic text in author mode field, it seems to work, but as soon as I test, dynamic text seems to disappear. If I do the static dynamic text field, masking works very well. But I don't seem to be able to give an instance name of static text and therefore can not access in actionscript. Am I missing something here?

In a more general way, I read in a book called Flash 8 Cookbook that the TextArea component is quite heavy and you may sometimes be better to develop your own scrolling text field. Does anyone have ideas on this?

Yes, you miss something, police States :)
A Flash animation is impossible or mask the text that isn't contours. Static text has by
by default. Dynamic text needs the contours to include, through the field text property
Panel or action script.
Static text, once entered, is on stage. Flash can bring together all the characters and include
its outline when exported. Although this is not the case with dynamic text. There is none
text for flash gives a glimpse of so you must include vector fonts
manually.
Select your dynamic text field, press CTRL F3 to open the properties panel.
Once you have it, search for EMBED button on the right side.
Hold down the CTRL key and select, Upper, Lower, digital, punctuation...
or any that you need. If you have something like name from a dynamic source
You can include characters or just small beach. Include all except
you need it. It increases the size of the file, not much, but with the complex of all the little projects
bytes and there contribute to overall large file.

That is right. Most of the components are what we call Bloatware.
Can't blame Macromedia tho :) Imagine a component that is intended for general usage requirements
and the variety of options, we might want to have with her. Engineers usually more code
make an adjustment, which makes klunky and large at the same time. To make your own, it is
really much easier has many advantages, customization to the bottom line to have total control
above him.

  • Dynamic text does not arise under a mask

    Hi all

    If like many people, I discovered the joy that you cannot display the dynamic text boxes they are hidden.

    After browsing the internet, I found a few things to try, first to incorporate police, what I did, and that has not worked.

    The alternative is to set the mask to a display object, what I did, sort of.

    I have create a Sprite() in code (I use Flex develop and never the code on the time line), then use the Sprite.graphics to draw the mask, then set the .mask movieClip of my main stage to equal this layer.

    That no longer works.

    Is there a third option?

    Thanks in advance,

    Tom

    Remove your mask.  the text?  If so, your policy is not properly embedded.  If not, look for other problems (and they are many):

    1. can you see your textfield?  If so, is the font color is background color textfield.  If not, fix it.

    2. do you have a problem assigning text?  You can control another property of your TextField (such as its rotation)?  If so, you have a reference right textfield.  If not, you have not.

  • Masking and dynamic text

    I have a dynamic text in a Clip on the timeline. Text looks fine without mask. When I add a layer for the dynamic text Clip mask disappears. Can someone shed some light why?

    Thank you

    That's all! On most of the other my dynamic text fields I does not include the seal of the police, don't know why I don't have it.

    Thanks for the reply and I'll have to remember this one!

  • 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
    }

  • Scroll event: movieclip instead of dynamic text

    Hello everyone. I am very very new to actionscript, so probably my question sounds a bit ridiculous.

    I'm putting an Arabic text to scroll with a custom scroll bar. So I found a nice video in youtube , all this with a dynamic text field. It works wonderful for Latin characters (from left to right and separated from the letters) but unfortunately not for Arabic characters (they don't connect). In fact, I do not use just a movieclip with the text instead of the dynamic text field. But I don't know how to change the actionscript code for the video instead of the dynamic text field.

    Here I show you the code for the scrolling text in a dynamic text field (it's a small code), on the stage, I got just the dynamic text field (instance name: texto_txt), the scroll bar (a vertical line, the name of the instance: scrollBar_mc) and the scrolling itself (a small rectangle, the instance name (:scrollHandle_mc):

    var content: String = "cjeihfirehjfejlkfjkerjfirjfejifjrijwkjfirwjeknlkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkllllllll";

    texto_txt. Text = content;
    texto_txt.WordWrap = true;

    var min: number = scrollHandle_mc.y;

    var max: number = min +(scrollBar_mc.height-scrollHandle_mc.height);

    var range: number = max - min;

    var arrastrando: Boolean = false;

    the var limits: Rectangle = new Rectangle (scrollHandle_mc.x, scrollHandle_mc.y, 0, scrollBar_mc.height - scrollHandle_mc.height);

    scrollHandle_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, arrastrandoScroll);

    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopIt);

    function arrastrandoScroll(mouseEvent:MouseEvent)

    {

    scrollHandle_mc.startDrag (false, bounds);

    arrastrando = true;

    scrollHandle_mc.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, progress);

    }

    function stopIt(mouseEvent:MouseEvent)

    {

    scrollHandle_mc.stopDrag ();

    arrastrando = false;

    }

    function progress(e:Event)

    {

    var moverScroll:Number = scrollHandle_mc.y - min;

    var p: Number = moverScroll/range;

    If (arrastrando is true)

    {

    texto_txt.scrollV = % * texto_txt.maxScrollV;

    }

    }

    What I want to do is clear the dynamic text field and use rather a movieclip (text_mc) which already includes the text, the bounding box would be a mask. How can I change the actionscript code? Could someone help me?

    It isn't really a question of mathematics, as it is a logical reasoning, but if you plan to do things with the lineup, you expect better familiarize themselves with the learning of mathematics as well.  Programming and math go hand in hand.

    This is a simplified explanation of what your code should-> if you move the wheel of 25% of the total distance, it can move, then the movieclip should be moved 25% of the distance, he can move (in the sense of oppostie).

    Your scroll handle can be moved from a predefined distance.  In your code, this is called the "range".  See if you can understand how this value is determined in 3 lines of code.

    var min: number = scrollHandle_mc.y;

    var max: number = min +(scrollBar_mc.height-scrollHandle_mc.height);

    var range: number = max - min;

    Later depending on your progress, you can see where the handle of the scrollbar values com into play again to determine where to place the textfield object.  But if we change that to be the movieclip, it becomes more similar to the following...

    function progress(e:Event)

    {

    var moverScroll:Number = scrollHandle_mc.y - min;

    var p: Number = moverScroll/range;

    If (arrastrando is true)

    {

    yourMC.y = % * (yourMCmaxY-yourMCminY) + yourMCMinY;

    where yourMCmaxY-yourMCminY's range of movement of the mc

    who is likely to be negative since yMax is likely< ymin="" for="" the="">

      }

    }

    I am unable to get a link to the image in Firefox - it works fine in IE. The link source of a dynamic code embedded in a div. text

  • Dynamic text does not appear

    Hello world!

    I just want to know why a dynamic text does not show in the swf video.

    Let me explain a bit more:

    I have a mc in a main period in which is an another mc,

    This mc have photos and a dynamic text which must scroll to see all this.

    but the text appears!

    Below you will see a preview of the mc where you can see the level of it also.

    If {(lMouseover)
    _parent.Text3.scroll-= 1;
    }

    }

    Well, when I test the fla, I don't see the Text3 in the outgoing swf.

    Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help

    If it is a dynamic textfield, try incorporating the fonts.  In most cases where dynamic text is not displayed, it is the solution. It is always the case when using a mask on a dynamic textfield.

  • Dynamic text cannot be hidden or blurry?

    Hi I have a dynamic textbox with a scroller. I try to interpolate with a blur effect or put on a mask top but when I do the text won't show at all. After you change the static type text and the effect of all worked well.
    It is the limitation of the flash, or is it possible to apply the tween/blur/mask the dynamic text effect?

    Yes, the d-text is an mc and I tried breaking apart the text and worked but the swf size has increased considerably.

    Edit: embedding fonts just tried and it WORKS! Thank you guys for pointing me in the right direction.

    These work perfectly by the way:

    Screen.tab01.txt.text = labelSomeText;

    Can someone please advice what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you man!

    You do not specify if you speak a native textfield object, or an element of HTML text overlay.

    For HTML text input elements, the property to set is "maxlength", all lowercase.

    For native textfield objects, there is no max length, width property maximum of only. You will need to manually apply any character limit in the code that defines the contents of the textfield object.

  • Someone has problems with the visible property of the fields of dynamic text in html5 canvas?

    Hi, I have problems with text fields dynamic that I placed the Framework 1. I wanted to have a visible property false until after the click of a button. So, I placed a line of code on the layer actions of frame 1 as:

    This.Sum.Visible = false; sum is the dynamic text field

    Even with 5 other text fields.

    Some of the fields appear when I test the movie and others not, but no suppose to appear. The console.log shows no error, and when I investigated console.log as: 'console.log (this.sum.visible)', I get 'false '.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for your time.

    Yes, the link displays multiple textfields whose visible property works without problems in an animated project of html5.

  • You can link two dynamic text objects?

    This is a question about dynamic text objects.  Is it possible to link two dynamic text objects so that they flow together into an email or a landing page?

    For example, say you have two dynamic text objects, DTO1 and DTO2.  Also assume that DTO1 can vary in length, for example, two lines of five lines.  Is it possible to establish that DTO2 runs immediately after DTO1 to say, a single line of space empty between them?  I see no way to do it in email or the landing page editor, but perhaps that there's a way to do it with html or another approach.

    Thank you

    Hi Andy,.

    Yes, to do this with html raw. Once you have the code, you can either put in the view of the source of a text box (if you use the Eloqua editor) or just throw in some test-tube html.

    First of all, you need get the HTML for your dynamic elements. It's kind of awkward to get this code but not too difficult.

    • Open a downloaded landing page or sent e-mail. You can not access the landing pages or emails that have been built using the Eloqua editor code.
    • Display dynamic content browser and search for your dynamic elements
    • Drag them into the section code of your destination or by e-mail page
    • Copy the code that gets placed there then the output of the page destination or email without saving changes
    • The code should look like this:
      • It is a piece of sample code for an element of dynamic content

    Now, when you build your email or a landing page which will contain both of these two elements of dynamic content just sticking two snippets in there and separate with a line break)

    ) to get the bit of empty space. As I've mentioned above, you can place code in the view of the source of a text box (if you use the Eloqua editor) or just throw in some test-tube html.

    In fact, if your final product should be a page external destination loaded or email you could save yourself the time and code just in a place-holder when you generate your html code. Then when you're done uploading, please drag the dynamic elements in the code of the dynamic browser and add your line breaks.

    The final code should look like this:

    It is a piece of sample code for an element of dynamic content

    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) {}

    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;
