Auto Height On Embedded Swf
Hi. I am building a dynamic flash form, with lots of dropdowns.
The number of dropdowns come from the database. It could be 2. It could be 20.
Is there a way that the embedded flash movie is whatever height it needs to be.
So the scroll bar on the brower would keep getting bigger, rather than needing to make it a fixed size and have a scroll bar in the flash movie?

Auto Height On Dynamic Text Field
Hi all
I have a small SWF file which loads text for an associated loaded movie clips. The text length can vary and at the minute I am duplicating the FLA's so that each movie has its 'own' text loader file mc. The reason why I am doing it this way is because I need the scrollbar to appear or not based on the amount of text that is loaded and I am currently disabling/enabling the scrollbar manually and then savin/publishing the SWF's file.
How can I get my text loader file to display/adjust the height of the dynamic text box/scrollbar automatically?
I have posted some code below in the hop ethat it is easy enough for some guru out there to provide a solution.
Attach Code
// This is the code that is executed when the text loader swf is called
function textLoader() {
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
scrollpane_mc.txt.myText_txt.html = true;
scrollpane_mc.txt.myText_txt.htmlText = this.details;;
};
myData.load("text/amec.txt");
}
var myCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
myCSS.load("css/myStyle.css");
myCSS.onLoad = function() {
scrollpane_mc.txt.myText_txt.styleSheet = myCSS;
textLoader();
};
// this is my scrolling code
txt.setMask(mask);
scrollbar.onMouseDown = function() {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse) && txt._height>mask._height) {
this.startDrag(false, scrollbarBG._x, scrollbarBG._y, scrollbarBG._x, scrollbarBG._height-this._height)
txt.onEnterFrame = scrollThumbs;
dragging = true
}
};
scrollbar.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
dragging = false;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
function scrollThumbs() {
var funkyVar = -this._parent.scrollbar._y*(((this._height-this._parent.scrollbar._height)/(this._parent.scrollbarBG._height-this._parent.scrollbar._height))-1)
this.Y = (funkyVar-this._y)*.2;
this._y += this.Y;
if(Math.abs(funkyVar-this._y)<1 && !dragging){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}

Dynamic Text - Auto Sizing The Height?

I have several dynamic text fields that are going to be in a column. I am going to use these fields with xml files for the user to update. Hence I don't really know how long the text is going to be. I can set a max size by creating a dynmaic text box that has several lines. However, if the user only inserts a few words I am gonig to be left with a lot of empty space a the bottom of the text box.
HOw do I set the text box so that its size automatically adjusts up and down to the size of the text that's going into it.
Many thanks

[F8] Height And Width Of Embedded MC In Text Field
I have an MC with buttons inside it embedded into a text field.
The problem is that the text field isn't giving me a scroll bar in the .swf when I publish it (even though it's really there in the .FLA).
I'm quite sure it's how I've got the size written in the Actionscript.
Here is how I have it written:
PHP Code:
textField_txt.htmlText = "<img src='symbol_ID' height='703'>";
Can someone help me out with my syntax?
Thanks in advance

Auto Thumbnailing Embedded Flash Videos
I searched around but was unable to find anything. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not searching the right thing or people haven't been setting this up.
Is there a way to automatically capture screenshots from embedded videos?
Like when you embed a YouTube, Google Video video on your site, are you able to somehow auto grab the screenshot from video you just embedded. I know there are APIs that Youtube and other services offered. We're looking for something we can build locally and cap while still embedding the videos.
Not sure if that makes sense. Any info would be great.

Height Of DisplayObject Doesn't Equal Sum Height Of Child Objects
Ok, I create a new object like so:
ActionScript Code:
_container = _target.addChild(new Sprite()) as Sprite;
I then run a loop to add children to it, then do this:
ActionScript Code:
var lastChild:DisplayObject = _container.getChildAt(_container.numChildren-1);
trace("container height: " + _container.height);
trace("lastChild: y=" + lastChild.y + " height=" + lastChild.height);
And I get the following output:
container height: 237.5
lastChild: y=200 height=50
Now, the child is top-left aligned, so if it's at y 200 and has a height of 50, surely the height of the container must be at least 250. So why does it say 237.5? Can anyone offer an explanation?

Controlling Actions Window Height In Cs3: Less Height Plz
hey there,
ive recently switched to flash cs3, but there is one seemingly little quirk that is driving me nuts, and hopefully its fixable.
in flash 8, you could have the actions window the same height as the properties window and group them. In cs3, the actions window always takes up about half my screen with its height whenever it is opened (the shortest i can get it is still more than double the height the properties window is). In cs3 you can still obviously group them, but the box keeps on changing size depending on which tab you choose (properties vs actions).
Maybe its just me, but i find it annoying to my work flow. Is there some sort of preference i can set for this (customizable min height for actions window?), be cause i certainly have not found it:S Would be greatly appreciated!thanks!

Dynamic Textfield - Embedded Font - Embedded Characters Problem
Hi everyone,
In AS in flash 8, i'm doing the following : a font "Garamond" in my library,creating a textfielda textformat that is used on my textfieldi define the characters that should be embedded...
This last point doesn't seem to work...
This is my code (you can also check my fla) :
--
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "Garamond";
myFormat.size = 20;
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";
createEmptyMovieClip("myContainer",10);
myContainer.createTextField("myText", 11, 0,0,400,500);
myContainer.myText.border=true;
myContainer.myText.autoSize = true;
myContainer.myText.html = true;
_root.myContainer.myText.embeddedCharacters = "ęąłńśźćóĘĄŁŃŚĆŻÓ";
myContainer.myText.htmlText = "test characters : : ęąłńśźćóĘĄŁŃŚĆŻÓ" ;
myContainer.myText.selectable = false;
myContainer.myText.wordWrap = true;
myContainer.myText.embedFonts = true;
myContainer.myText.setTextFormat(myFormat) ;
--
I was also trying with the following :
myContainer.myText.useDeviceFonts = true;
But without problem (otherwise I wouldn't email here, huh?)
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong that my embeddedCharacters don't seem to work?
Thanks in advance!

How Do You Define Which Character Set Gets Embedded With A Font Embedded In The Library (i.e. Korean)?
I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

[CS3] Auto-play/Auto-resume: Is It Possible?
Hi,
I'm making an interactive film. At certain points within the film, the viewer has the ability to select from a few options that will direct them to an external video clip (they are flashback scenes). The main story pauses when the user selects a flashback scene and I'm clear on how to achieve this.
However, my issue is that once the flashback scene ends and the external video closes, I'm not sure how the main story will resume. Is it possible for it to auto-play (resume) in some way? My last resort would be to have the viewer select a play button - this is only because I do not want a break in the narrative and want to limit the amount of clicks the viewer has to make.
Basically, I really just want to know if what I want to achieve is realistic without making the viewer initiate the action. Any suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Difference Embedded And Not Embedded Font
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had the same problem I did.. I'm using a font called DS-Digital (free font) in one of my movies and well if I don't embed the font and use the textFormatter to determine my dynamic text width then everything is find, however if I use the embed font feature and determine it's with the same way then it's about 5-10 pixels smaller, which causes the text to display incorrectly..
Is there a way to fix it easily. Right now I just add 25 pixels to the textFormatter width just to be sure the font is displayed properly, but I hope there will be a different solution for this problem..
Thanks for any help..

Embedded Fonts Vs Non Embedded
I am in the process of learning flash inside and out. During the testing phase of my design site I noticed that some of the text appeared very thin and hardly legible while other text was bold and vibrant. I checked the settings of the fonts to see if it was a Bold character setting issue but the fonts that were vibrant and thick had no Bold character setting at all. After many hours of comparing the different text boxes on the screen I realized that some of the text box had the embed font option on. This makes text less vibrant. Atleast it did with the particular font I used. Is it possible to cut down on memory while embedding the fonts and still have vibrant looking text? Try making several white text boxes on a black background with some of them being embedded and others not and you will see what I mean.
Best Regards,
Sam

Why Do Embedded Fonts Blur When Non-embedded Fonts Dont?
If someone could offer a suggestion here I'd be much obliged. I'm trying to build a web site using pixel fonts but since very few people have this particular font, I'm trying to embed the font. The problem is that when I don't embed it looks perfectly sharp, but as soon as I embed it blurs them (as if it tries to anti-alias a pixel font.. which I don't want it to do)... any ideas?

Flash Embedded In Flex Embedded In Flash
I have a flash 9 as3 movie that contains a flex flv player that uses an embedded flash flv player. All works great, except the main timeline of the top level flash movie, I need to unload the embedded flex/flash when someone exits the video player. Currently the player is unloaded from the stage, but the movie continues to play (still hear audio).
The flex application & flash flv player (as2) communicate via local connection. Works great standalone.
The wrapper flash movie is dynamically loading the flex application via Loader.
The main timeline contains a flvPlayer:MovieClip instance of "movieClip".
movieClip contains the actionscript to load & display the flv player via myLoader:Loader.
So... root->movieClip->myLoader
I have another movie that contains animated navigation... I need to check & see if the moviePlayer is loaded when any navigation button is clicked... if it is, unload it.
Currently I have...
ActionScript Code:
if(MovieClip(this.root).moviePlayer)
if(MovieClip(this.root).moviePlayer.parent ) {
trace("Deleting");
var c:MovieClip = MovieClip(this.root).moviePlayer.myLoader.content as MovieClip;
c.myLoader().unload();
c.removeChildAt(0);
}
...which doesn't work.
I have a feeling that I just need to stop playback of the actual movie first? If that's true, then I need to be able to access the Local Connection (toFlash_lc:LocalConnection) of the Flex Application to fire the setPath of the flex-embedded flv player. toFlash_lc is in the swf loaded via myLoader.
So I need to be able to call a function (local to Flex) that contains...
ActionScript Code:
toFlash_lc.send('lc_from_flex', 'setPath',String(event.currentTarget.mediasource))
... or call this directly.
I'm out of things to try. Can anyone help?

onClipEvent (data) {
this._height = 300;

But i want something like this:

Set Height Of Mc Same As Textfield

Now i've got a little problem and i don't see why it won't work?!
This is my code:

//Stylesheet
css_button = new TextFormat();
css_button.bold = bold;
css_button.font = "Cottingley";
css_button.size = 12;
css_button.color = "0xFF0000";
//menu items
total = 7;
text1 = "Werken bij United Restart";
text2 = "Persberichten";
text3 = "Aanvraag financieel jaarverslag USG";
text4 = "United Service Group";
text5 = "Plaatsings-percentage en doorlooptijden";
text6 = "Downloads";
text7 = "Privacy regelement";
stop();
//initialize main menu
for (i=1; i<=_root.total; ++i) {
//duplicate movie clip
menuMC.duplicateMovieClip("menuMC"+i, i);
//create a dynamic textfield
this["menuMC"+i].createTextField("txtf", 1, 15, 0, 128, 19.6);
//Add stylesheet to button texts
this["menuMC"+i].txtf.setNewTextFormat (_root.css_button);
this["menuMC"+i].txtf.text = eval("_root.text" + i);
//Textfield specs
this["menuMC"+i].txtf.autoSize = true;
this["menuMC"+i].txtf.wordWrap = true;
this["menuMC"+i].txtf.multiline = true;
//Change Depths so hitarea is on top of the generated textField
this["menuMC"+i].hitarea.swapDepths(2);
//set Height Menu items same as height of the item's texts
this["menuMC"+i].bg_button._height = this["menuMC"+i].txtf._height;
//set Height hitarea same as height of the item's texts
this["menuMC"+i].hitarea._height = this["menuMC"+i].txtf._height;
//set new position
this["menuMC"+i]._y = this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._y + this["menuMC"+(i-1)]._height+2;
this["menuMC"+i].choice = i;
}
The bold part is what is causing me a headache. I want to set the height of the hitarea (like i did with the background of the menu items) the same as the textfield height, but somehow this doen't work?!?
I've traced it and then the output gives just all 0's (zero's).
Anybody can help me out here, because i've no idea why this is causing a problem.

If i make the text field a set height the I dont seem to be able to read how high the text is in the text field... and so size the button background accordingly...
If i make the text field too small for the text it wont expand downwards to accomodate the new text (iwas thinking if i could do this i could measure the height of the text field it was in?
