Flash :: Flash Bug In TextFormat.size

TextFormat.size Property Dilemma
sup everyone,

i have a little problem with the size property of the TextFormat Object. I have a textfield which i will put text in with different lengths. i have a code that will try and fit the text to this textfield. The code works in such a way that the text really does fits in but the problem is that the size change is dramatic. After diving into the help file of flash, i found out that the size property is actually an integer and thus i cannot set the size from 10 to 9.5. Why is this? How come in the authoring environment i could change the size to 8.5 [for example] but this is not possible in code?

is there a way to set the size using non-integer numbers?

please advise.

thank you so much!

Maximum Text Size For TextFormat
Afternoon everyone,

I am working on an application in which text is created dynamically. I seem to be experiencing a maximum size of 130 when using textFormat. I cannot seem to find any references to this limit. Is there a way to get around it?

So far my only resolution is to create a smaller text field within a movieClip and then scale the movieClip. This moves the text of the pixel location that I need it however.

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Michael

Stop Flash Adding TextFormat
Hello,

I'm exporting text from an html text box to a .text file. For reasons I won't go into, I have to export it as htmlText. My problem is that flash adds a default text format to the text.

Is there any way of stopping this or do I have to clean it up with php?

Thanks

I have a array with information, for each post in the array i create o textfield with information.
But when i want to use the Textformat, my first textfield wont get textformated (all the other post gets the textformat).. i have tried to solve this problem without any result.

Here is my code.

var arraydepth:Number = 1000;
var yPos:Number = 0;
for(i = 0; i < arDesigns.length - 1; i++)
{
__root.createTextField("lbl"+i, i+arraydepth, 0, yPos, 600, 600);
_root["lbl"+i].setNewTextFormat(format);
_root["lbl"+i].text = arDesigns[ i ];

_root["lbl"+i]._y = yPos;
yPos += 30;

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.font = "Arial";
format.color = 0x0000;
format.size = 22;
}

the result is:
Text

Font Property Of Flash.text.TextFormat
The font property of flash.text.TextFormat is defined as a string.

ActionScript Code:
var tf:TextFormat = txt1_ui.getTextFormat(s,e);
Dumper.info(tf.font);
tf.font = tf.font+"---";
Dumper.info(tf.font);

the output:
King's Ransom Light
King

ActionScript Code:
var str:String = "King's Ransom Light";
var tf2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf2.font = "King's Ransom Light";
Dumper.info(str);
Dumper.info(tf2.font);

the output:
King's Ransom Light
King

I assume something funny is going on in the TextFormat set method, but I don't have access to that. This has been an infuriating two hour odyssey thus far.

Why Use Flash Video When It Bumps The File Size To Outrageous Size?
I have imported a flash video into my flash movie. I have run the .mov in sorenson squeeze and have it nice and small. As soon as I import it into flash (because this is the only way I know to do it in order to run a video in flash) now I have 1024 frames and a HUGE .swf file.

So what is the point to using flash at all...or am I doing something wrong. Is there a better way to handle video within flash??

Browser Size Doesn't Match Flash Movie Size
Can anyone help me figure out how to make the Browser or Window that launches my .swf file fit exactly the size of the Flash Movie's dimensions?

My movie is 800x550 yet when launched it in a browser there is extra space around it which shows the elements that are outside the border of the movie which I later tween onto the stage.

In short, how do I constrain the Browser Window to fit the dimension of the Flash movie?

Thanks,

Screen Size And Flash Movie Size
Can you create a swf larger than the resolution of the users screen and then just center it on the screen, or if not, is there a way around this. I want to have popup windows that can be moved around within the flash file, but I need the flash file to be at least as big as the users screen so that they don't just disappear. Is this possible??

TextFormat Help
Ok, I am trying to bold a piece of selected text (like a text editor). The input text has a instance of textIns_txt, the bold button has an instance of boldButton and there is an enterFrameMovie outside the stage. Here is the code...

textIns_txt.onKillFocus = function(){
Selection.setFocus(textIns_txt);
Selection.setSelection(begin, end);
trace (begin);
trace (end);
}

enterFrameMovie.onEnterFrame = function(){
begin = Selection.getBeginIndex();
end = Selection.getEndIndex();
}

boldButton.onRelease = function(){
boldFormat = new TextFormat();
boldFormat.bold = true;
textIns_txt.setTextFormat(begin, end, boldFormat);
}

Why doesnt it work? It will trace the correct values for the beginIndex and endIndex, but doesnt bold it... Thanks for any help in advance.

How can you apply a format (i.e. bold) to a selection of text in a text field set to input???

I think this is an important step to overcome if we are to solve the rich text editor problem...

TextFormat
Hi,

I am creating an application that does calculations. The application will contain 6 variables. 4 of them will be knowns and to of them will be unknows. The application will use the 4 knowns to calculate the 2 unknows. I am wanting to change the font to bold if the font is the two unknown statements that way the user can see what variables they just calculated for.

For Example (I have tried this):

if (a==0 & b==0){

//I am wanting to change the font of variable after the calculations
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = true;

//var a instance name is a
var a = c*d*e*f
a.setTextformat(my_fmt);
var b = c-a
}

Does anyone have any suggestions? All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

TextFormat To And From XML
Hi, I've written a texteditor with which the user can type in text and then select parts of it and add formatting. It adds a new customized TextFormat to every selection.

It works fine, and the next step is to translate the text into XML-format. This is where I'm a bit confused. What is the best format for this? To add a

PHP Code:

<TEXTFORMAT bold='true' italic='false' color='0xff0000' ...>
selected text
</TEXTFORMAT>

for every formatchange? Or would you prefer individual tags like using CDATA? How would the translation to/from XML work in that case?

Please share your thoughts/experiences on this!

Textformat Obj Being Ignored
Can anybody see why the following text formatting obj is not being applied to my text fields?

This code is in frame 1 of my _root movie & is called from within a couple nested movie clips with the following script

// Array to store text
var aText:Array = new Array;
var nHeight:Number = 15;

// Add blinking cursor movieclip
var mcRef:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("mcCursor", "mcCursor", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:6, _y:7});
aText.push("blah blah testing etc");
_root.teleType(this, 0, "0xCCFFFF");

I've tried embedding the Verdana font (and obv changing the font name to the linkage name) but this has no effect.
I've also tried including a dynamic text field on the root stage with embedded characters.

Neither makes any difference - a default font is used, with default colour & size.

Any ideas?

Bug In TextFormat.url? Please Help
I'm trying to build a WYSIWYG editor in MX, which has been made easy up to now by the new TextFormat objects.

However, the TextFormat.url property doesn't seem to work..... If I create a link in a HTML textfield it works fine, but when I try to remove the link (by setting the url to null as is suggested in the Actionscript Dictionary), the hyperlink doesn't get removed!

Code:
_root.linkOn = new TextFormat();
linkOn.url = "http://somewhere";
_root.linkOff = new TextFormat();
linkOff.url = null;

var cFormat = _root.inputText.getTextFormat(5,10);
if(cFormat.url == null)
{
_root.inputText.setTextFormat(5,10,_root.linkOn);
}
else
{
_root.inputText.setTextFormat(5,10,_root.linkOff);
}
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Please help..... I was almost there and then this happened!

P.S I've also tried checking and setting the url property to "", but that doesn't work either.

Thanks in advance,

TextFormat: The Very Basics
I'm just trying to figure out the textFormat assignment. My example is stupid but it's just to isolate what I'm looking for.

Say I want to write something like:

framboiseframboiseframboiseframboise

The simplest way to do it I thought would be:

normal = new TextFormat();
normal.bold = false;

italic = new TextFormat();
italic.bold = false;

myTextField.setTextFormat(normal);
myTextField.text = myTextField.text+"framboise";
myTextField.setTextFormat(bold);
myTextField.text = myTextField.text+"framboise";
myTextField.setTextFormat(normal);
myTextField.text = myTextField.text+"framboise";
myTextField.setTextFormat(bold);
myTextField.text = myTextField.text+"framboise";

But apparently not... How do I do that?

TextFormat And Hyperlinks
I I was expecting that the following code would have 2 hyperlinks linking to 2 different URLs.

jazzyStyle = new TextFormat();
jazzyStyle.color = 0xFF9977;
jazzyStyle.url = "jazz.html";

bluzyStyle = new TextFormat();
bluzyStyle.color = 0x881122;
jazzyStyle.url = "blues.html";

TF.html = 1;
TF.setNewTextFormat(jazzyStyle);
TF.replaceSel("Jazz
");
TF.setNewTextFormat(bluzyStyle);
TF.replaceSel("Blues");

But it's not the case. they both point to the second URL (Blues.html) although they have a different color. That is not cool I think.

TextFormat Trouble
Does anyone know how to set a negative value (ie. -4) for leading using the textFormat object. I cannot seem to go lower than 0 and the font I'm using has a rather large standard leading.

It is entirely possible to use negative values when manually formatting a text through the properties inspector and I'm somewhat confused since I believed that the properties available through AS had identical behaviors...

thx in advance

TextFormat.lineHeight Or Something?
I can set the height of each letter individually in a text field using textFormat.size, but I need to be able to format the vertical position of the letter too. I don't see the option in the code hints, anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this?

Thanks,
-J

TextFormat Issues
Another short but very sweet question. Here's the code:

Code:
linkText = new TextFormat();
// Set the text to blue
linkText.color = 0x0000FF;
// Below is the line that mucks everything up.
// If you comment it you, everything works,
// except the text in the box just says _level0.txt
this.txt = "Hello";
this.txt.setTextFormat(linkText);

As you can see from the comments, the line:

Code:
this.txt = "Hello"

seems to ignore the advice of the TextFormat and decides to be black rather than blue. Edit the line out, and the text turns blue but just gives a reference to the text variable (_level0.txt).

I never knew bug hunting in 4 lines of code could be so much fun. Anyone got ideas about this?

CreateTextField And New TextFormat();
Hello,

I am having trouble identifying the error(s) in my code. I have created a text box and myTextFormat function doesn't seem to operate correctly. I can embed the font, make the box non-selectable and set the variable, but I cannot change the font nor adjust it's size in actionscript. Can someone help?

Code:
this.createTextField ("time_tx",1,385,275,160,20);
time_tx.variable = "dateTime";
time_tx.embedFonts = true;
time_tx.selectable = false;
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.bold = true;
myTextFormat.font = "Arial";
myTextFormat.size = 14;
time_tx.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);

Is TextFormat() Like CSS In Html?
Hi,

Just need a quick yes or no. If I define several textFormat objects with say different fonts and colors can you apply these to different text within the same textfield...I'm guessing that if I put text in a text field with format01 and then add more text into the textfield and use format02 that the entire textfield will take on format02.

I don't have time to test this out, so wanted to ask you guys. What I'm looking for is the ability to use the textFormat object somewhat like a cascading style sheet with tags.

thanx,
marcus
