Scroll Bar For Html Dynamic Text Field Won't Work With Html
Hi:

I'm trying to add a scroll bar to a dynamic text field that is populated with an XML file. (see attached scolltext.zip file).

If I populate the field with plain hard coded text, it works fine. However, in my application, I need the text to contain html formatting codes. When I change the hard coded string to include html, it doesn't appear to work.

Can anyone suggest an alternative way to create a scroll bar for this dynamic text field? I need the html to stay as is because eventually the glossary will be populated via XML through a CF server.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Dynamic Text From MySQL Problem. Multiline + HTML-rendered Text Wanted...
Hi.

I'm in the process of writing a guestbook using Flash, PHP and a MySQL database. A large part of the Flash-code, is fully functional, but there is one strange problem.

The text i'm echo'ing from the PHP document into Flash, doesnt wrap correctly in my textfield. I've set the textfield to multiline and I've pressed the "Render as HTML"-tab. But the text is displayed with HTML-tags and stays on one line.

This is how it looks: http://www.riminalitet.org/guestbook.swf The buttons below the field are "Next"- and "Back"-buttons for the submissions...(It's danish )

I've experienced that it works if I use
instead of in my HTML-formatted code. But I'd like to use BOLD as well. And if I urlencode my output-code from PHP, nothing changes. Still one line with HTML-tags...

The textfield is embedded in a scrollPane. I'm targeting this field in my LoadVars function. Can this has something to do with the problem?

Should I use the ScrollBar component in stead of the scrollPane to retrieve dynamic text? (This would be a little bugging, since my goal is to display the text nicely with some graphics around it).

Hope some of you guys can help me with this. Bye now...

Embed Jpeg In Dynamic Text Using External Text File Html

I am using flash mx 2004 pro and am exporting/publishing in flash player 7 and actionscript 2.0...

I can't seem to get jpeg's to load, but I can get all the other supported html tags to work...I am using the <img src='untitled.jpeg'> but no image....they are NOT progressive jpegs...but they won't load...why not? I thought embedding non-progressive jpeg images are allowed in flash if publishing in flash player 7 and above and authoring in flash mx 2004 or above...what gives?

any help would be greatly appreciated! and I did stipulate the width and height to try that as well, but it didn't work...this did work back in the day, but I don't remember what I did...

[F8] Displaying HTML Entities In Dynamic Text From External Text Files
I'm pulling content for a dynamic HTML formatted text box from a series of client-editable text files using LoadVars.

Flash 8 allows for the use of HTML entites in HTML text, and my client's text includes copyright and trademark symbols.

If I load some HTML text from within a script, the text box displays entities fine (like &174 to display a ® trademark symbol).

However, when using LoadVars to load the text from an external text file, I can't use ampersands in the text file, because the LoadVars interprets them as indicating the start of another variable.

I tried using Unicode, for example u00ae. Again, this works fine when the text is drawn from within a script, but when the loadVars displays it from the text file, it just displays the Unicode as a literal string. Other HTML formatting in the text files, such as bold or italic, displays fine.

Does anyone know a workaround for this (short of converting all 80 of my text files to XML)?

Dynamic HTML Text Fields Do Not Display Formatted Text?
Flashkit.com,

In Flash MX I am developing a lot of movies using dynamically populated html text fields. When the user does not have a font I used on their machine swapping happens on all dynamic and input fields. Only static fields display the corrent font. I make sure the text field properties are embedding the fonts. Still all of the dynamic html text fields do not display the formatted text. I have .fla samples I can email to anyone.

I have tried these macromedia solutions with NO success:

Getting A Dynamic Text Box's Text From HTML-formatted Text?
Hey! You recognize me yet? I've got (hopefully) one last question for a while. Could somebody please tell me how do to get the text value of a text box with text that's formatted as HTML? ( it was formatted similar to "textBox.htmlText = "...";")

I tried "myVariable = textBox.htmlText", but it just gave me the formatting garbage it's using (<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"></TEXTFORMAT>) without the actual text that my users see. I also tried "myVariable = textBox.text;", but it returned a blank variable.

Many thanks, me Flash bruthas

Will HTML Text Scroll In A Dynamic Text Box?
Hi, I have a dynamic textbox set up, which is currently using HTML text for formatting purposes. I created two buttons to scroll the text, but it refuses to scroll. If I make it NON-HTML text, I can scroll it, but of course lose the formatting (text color, etc.). Is there any way I can both have scrolling and maintain formatting?

NOTE: The formatting is not applicable to the text box as a whole. If it were, I would just change the formatting of the default text of the text box. Rather, the formatting here is on a per-character basis. For example, in the string: "I am ORANGE", only ORANGE would be orange, while the rest of the string would be in black - hence the use of HTML formatting.

Dynamic Text / HTML Text And A Less Than Symbol (<)
I have a dynamic text box into which I am loading text from a database. The text is input into the database via an html based backend that lets a client write a simple email type note, with basic (flash htmltext supported) formating such as bold, italics etc.

All of this works fine.

My problem arises when someone enters a less than symbol ... < ... into their text. The dynamic textbox interprets that < as the start of an html tag and the text stops displaying at that point. I can get around it by converting the < to %3c and having the text go into the dynamic text field's .text variable but that breaks the htmlformatting, so it needs to go into mytextfield.htmltext... problem being when I do that is that the pure < breaks the text string as mentioned above, or if it's converted to %3c.. it shows as %3c, not as a < symbol. Yes, it's a bit confusing.

How can I have a less than symbol appear when entered, yet still retain the html formatting for the dynamic text field?

Thanks for any input.

Html Text In Dynamic Text Field
Hey all
I've got a dynamic text box that pulls it's text from MySQL through PHP.

The text that it pulls is a mix of straight text and HTML code.

Everything works fine except the formatting. The main issue being text that follows a <img src=> tag.

www.simplecoat.tv - click the "BLOG" button on the remote control.
www.simplecoat.tv/blogIn.php - you can see that the HTML code is fine in the database.

Is it a problem with having images in a dynamic text field?

Thanks!

Dynamic Text Always Reads Text As Html?
I have an area where I want to show the text from a text file with some html, in one part I want the text to be read correctly and make the links (this works) in the other part I want the html to be shown in the dtext box. But even if the render text as html isnt checked and if you put
textbox.html = false
it still doesnt show the html

I mostly am just using links so in the text file it says
&membertext1= here is a link
<a href="www.adobe.com" target="_blank">click</a>&

One area should read - this works
here is a link click

in the other
here is a link <a href="www.adobe.com" target="_blank">click</a>

but it still reads like the one above.

Any ideas how to achieve this?

Using Html With Dynamic Text Box
I have a dynamic text box with the variable name HelpText. I have selected the render as html button. I also have five buttons above the text box. When each button is pressed it sends its own text to the HelpText variable, and so to the text box.

One of these buttons is an about button and this text is
About = "Pocket Darts Created by Lee Smith<a href='http//:www.somename.co.uk'>website</a>";

When I test the movie and click on this link it adds the full path of the movie to the front of the web address and I get an alert box saying

Cannot find
'file///C|/My%20Documents/.../http://www.somename.co.uk'.
Make sure the path or internet address is correct

If anyone knows a way around this I would be grateful. Thanks

Dynamic Html Text
Why are the simple things the hardest? If anyone can spot the bug in this, please let me know. I have had this problem before, seemed to have it resolved, but now it is back.

I have a MC with the following script on it:

_root.answer.html=true;
_root.answer.htmlText="-HTML BOLD TAG- Some Text-HTML BOLD TAG- Some other text";
}

on(rollOut){
_root.answer.htmlText="";
}

There is a dynamic text field named answer on the main timeline.

When I test the movie, not only is the text between the bold tags not bold, it's not even visible. The other text is visible.

I realize these aren't html bold tags, but this forum would make my text bold if I used the html tags.

Thanks in advance.
