Flash :: Formatting HTML Text Fileds

Mixing A For Loop With Text Fileds
Ok this is what I am doing, I am creating a remake of the grand theft auto game when it was on ps1, but I am doing it more on the side missions of grand theft auto 3.

So what I want to do is have a loop which every time you selected a car for the mission you get a lovely message stating what number car you have selected, this is what i have so far

var Text:TextsField
varTexts:Array=newArray(textinfo1,textinfo2,textin fo3,textinfo4,textinfo5,textinfo6)

var textinfo1:Object = {xpos:150, ypos:150};
var textinfo2:Object = {xpos:150, ypos:150};
var textinfo3:Object = {xpos:150, ypos:150};
var textinfo4:Object = {xpos:150, ypos:150};
var textinfo5:Object = {xpos:150, ypos:150};
var textinfo6:Object = {xpos:150, ypos:150};

var NumOfText:Number = 6;

function OutputText(){

for(var i:uint = 0; i <NumOfText; i++){

Text = new TextsField
Text.name = 'text_'+i
Text.x = Texts[i].xpos
Text.y = Texts[i].ypos
Text.text = 'you have chosen car'+i
trace(Text.name)
addChild(Text)

};

};

OutputText()

Help is needed

HTML Text Formatting
Does anyine know where I can find a complete list of supported tag attributes and or all supported HTML tags for Flash?

I am using F5 and trying to imitate an <li> tag using the problem that I have is that I have no vertical alignment control.

Therefore when I use l I get a nice bullet point but it sits on the baseline of the other text and just doesn't look right.

Any heros out there?

Formatting Xml Text With Html
hi. i'm trying to format xml text with html tags. i've searched this forum and read some of the previous threads but still am a bit lost.

here's a variable i create to hold the text i have in a [CDATA] tag:
code:
instructionsText = unescape(stripSpaces(node.firstChild.firstChild.fi rstChild.nodeValue));

then later on i create a text field to put that variable in, i.e.:
code:
// display instructions
ich.createTextField("inst", 998, 0, -10, 520, 40);
inch.inst.renderAsHTML = true;
ich.inst.text = instructionsText;
ich.inst.multiline = true;
ich.inst.wordWrap = true;
ich.inst.selectable = false;
ich.inst.setTextFormat(new TextFormat("Arial", 11, 0));

what am i missing? i thought this was the right way to do it...???

thanks. fumeng.

Formatting Text In Html
Hiya guys.

Right this isn't as simple as it sounds I want to create a input text box for people to write in in which they can add html code formatting to the text without having to type in the formatting.

Bit like DreamWeaver (or Word) where they could type in normally and just highlight the required bit of text and hit the bold button.

The people who are going to use this are going to be completely non-computer savvy which is why i do not want any of the formatting code to be visable.

Now I can do it so it the effect works for all of the text using the standard textformat code but I am lost to how to get it to only apply to the highlighted section of text, I've seen it done on a website a couple of years ago (must have been flash 5) so it must be possible but have not seen it recently.

can anyone point me into the correct direction?

cheers

Dynamic Text Fileds || Mac - Safari - Not Rendering
I was curious as to see if anyone knew about the problem with prior versions of (Mac) Safari not rendering dynamic text fields. I know that as a developer I should not be responsible for all of a clients, clients. To have updated versions of Safari, but is there any way around this problem.

The only solution that i could think of is to backdate the compiled version of flash (although i have not done this yet).

Creating Dynamic Buttons And Text Fileds..
Im having some trouble creating buttons from an xml file ive loaded in...
What i need it to do is create a button (movieclip with a onRollOver funciton) for every item that is in the XML file, ive tried this in the For loop but i cant get it to work..

Also is it possible to duplicate a text field and populate this each time with a field from the xml file as im having some difficulties targeting the name of the duplicate field?! hope that makes sense, ive included my code below...

if (success) {
//trace('homebanner.xml loaded. Contents are: '+this.toString());
createAdvert(gallery_xml);
}
};
gallery_xml.load('homebanner.xml');

// This is the function that will be called when
// our XML document is loaded succesfully
function createAdvert(xmlAd) {
// xmlAd is now a reference to the XML
// object where our information is stored

HELP With Dynamic Text & HTML Formatting
I am loading a text file into my flash website and I have formatted the .txt with HTML tags so I can do bold, font color, url's etc...

I have also clicked on the <> button on the textfield properties so Flash can read the formatting.

When I choose to embed all the characters, the only thing that doesn't work is Italics. When I don't embed, it works.

Anybody know a way around this??? Or why it does this?

Any help is appreciated.

Importing Text / Html Into MX And Formatting?
Hello

I am importing a text file into a text area in flash mx with loadVariable

According to Macromedia flash is not a browser and only supports a limited number of tags. A list of supported tags are here

My problem is that each time I hit enter on the text file, flash treats it like a new paragraph and adds a bullet infront of it too.

Is there anyway to do something similar to , a line break, and any way to get rid of that bullet?

Thanks

HTML Text Formatting And Colors?
my text is set something like this:

mainText="I wouldl like to make my text red, to increase the impact of the links! <li><a href='asfunction:runVar,1'>I WANT THIS TEXT TO BE RED!</a></li>";

Is it possible, I know in the help file COLOR tags are not supported and I have had little success with CSS (I can set the color of the <a> tagged text but the other text seems unaffected by a CSS file!). I am also using a method of resizing the textbox which isn't so easy if mixing CSS with HTML formatting....

[F8] Html Formatting In Dynamic Text...again
I know this has been covered ad nauseum but reading all the different posts has just spun me around in circles.

Why is it that this:
narratives_txt.html = true;
narratives_txt.htmlText = "This is my BOLD text and this is not.";

Returns:
"and this is not."

And what's the proper way to get it to display?

Loading All Text/formatting From HTML
Hey,

I'm considering designing a site, both flash and regular html/css, where the flash movie would read all of the content and formatting from the regular html files. The idea is that updating the html would then update the flash movie, and everything should work pretty easily.

My basic ideas are:

1. Code the html pages using strictly XML compliant code,
2. All text formatting will be via CSS,
3. The Flash movie will then load the .html doc into an XML object which I can then tweak (remove certian tags, make tags work correctly, etc.)

I've already written some basic AS functions for formatting the XML and my prototypes are working fine.

Does anyone who has tried this before have any comments, hints etc.??
Am I just plain crazy to try this ?

myData.onLoad = function() {

HTML Formatting Dynamic Text
Hi guys

I’ve used one of the tutorials on the site to import text into a dynamic text box

Code:
loadText = new loadVars();

Code:

loadText.load("kirupa.txt");

//creating the loadVarsText function

loadText.onLoad = function() {

scroller.text = this.kirupatext;

};

I’ve got a horizontal scrolling movie that duplicates the clips from the number of results passed to it by another script, and creates buttons with imported images and links with different querystring id data on them. So in actual fact what it does is instead of

loadText.load("kirupa.txt");

It does

loadText.load("http://www.mysite.com/variablespage.php?id=1");

Now this is all works fine apart from 2 things.

A double return in the text result in a massive gap in between the paragraphs? I don’t know where it’s coming from. The
isn’t being converted to or anything like that, does anyone know why the gap is so big?

I thought I might be able to fix it by setting the box to render text as HTML, but it seems to be ignoring any HTML tags.

The other problem is if I type

Code:
<a href=”address.php”>Link</a>

It just shows that and doesn’t make it a hyperlink?

If I change the script to LoadNumVariables and the scroller text box has a variable ie scroller.scroller_text then it shoes the html working fine, but won’t scroll it anymore!!!

Any thoughts appreciated

Regards

Paulsheff

Html Text Formatting Problems
2 strange things in my textfield:

1) When I load external XML text into my textfield, formatting is fine(justified). BUT when I add tags for a quote, the paragraph and the next paragraph get an indent of 5px or so that I CANNOT turn off. Any ideas on how to fix this? -> http://www.wiehen.de/site08/daniela_site01.html go to - artist alina bio

2) The text flow around html <img> images in XML text works fine if the image is small. I would like to have larger images that take up the whole width and I CANNOT get the text to start under the image. If I stretch the image width, I actually get a single letter squished up on the right of the image. I changed the horiz buffer for the images but i always get at least one letter. -> http://www.wiehen.de/site08/daniela_site01.html go to - artist alina diskographie

Removing [HTML] Formatting On Text
Is there a way to remove html formatting on imported text into flash?

Before it is displayed is there a way to parse the text and remove all of the and .

For instance:

text:

&myInfo=With the European Championships just a year away, places in the England squad are hot property! If you were Sven who would you be putting into the Squad? Here at Hy-PRO we are giving away five of our official England signature footballs, which include authentic, printed signatures of the whole England squad. To enter all you have to do is suggest to us which 18 players you think Sven should put into his Squad. This must include at least 2 goalkeepers. The first five entries picked out the hat will win.

XML And CDATA Not Formatting As HTML Text
Last edited by yakken : 2007-12-16 at 20:37.

I have a site that uses XML to load text, pics etc. but I have a problem using the CDATA tag in my XML files and afterwards rendering the text as HTML.

The XML could be

HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<events>
<event pic="largePicture.png" header="Headline" caption="Subheadline" smallpic="thumbnail.png">
<description>
<![CDATA[I would like to use HTML here Next line!]]>
</description>
</event>
</events>
Loading the XML works fine and I have everything saved in arrays (the text I need here, would be in the "descriptions" array - see below), that I can access, but when I try to throw my the <description> content into a textbox, it displays everything as it is typed above - including the tags etc. I would be setting up the text like this (taken out of context and boiled down a bit to make it easy on the eye):

ActionScript Code:
//this is the i'th element that I am loading
["mc_text"+i].descrip.html=true;
["mc_text"+i].descrip.multiline = true;
["mc_text"+i].descrip.autoSize = true;
["mc_text"+i].descrip.htmlText= descriptions[i];

where the "decrip" text field would be the one containing my text.

It does, however, not format my text as HTML (the autosize attribute works though). A direct link to one of the subpages, not showing my text properly is here: http://www.vanity.dk/oceanclub/test.swf
Pres the last button on the right...

Help is appreciated!

I can see that this guy seems to have the same troubles as I:
HTML Links in xml.
but none of the suggestions in that thread seems to do the trick

HTML Formatting In Dynamic Text
Hello all,

can someone please advise...I created a dynamic text field which calls up an external text file and the text field scrolls once the text has been loaded, the problem however is that it will not display the html links within the txt document.

when i get it to properly display the html links it no longer scrolls.

does anyone know a very simple way to achieve scrolling dynamic text with html formatting?

here is the code on frame:
loadVariablesNum("natan.txt", loadTxt);

natan.txt is the text file and loadTxt is the dynamic textfield

here is the text from the text file:
text=<a href="http://www.fudge.com" target="_blank">fudge</a>

and the var in the txtfield = text

what am I doing wrong?

Importing HTML File & Formatting Into A Dyn. Text Box
I've got a company that wants a Flash site, but wants to be able to update the text on their site all the time. I know how to import a *.TXT file by referencing the dynamic text box with a "variable=" at the beginning of the *.TXT file and using the A.S. <loadVariables ("textfile.txt", varText);> to load the *.TXT file. But all the paragraph breaks are double-spaced! See... http://www.rejuvesite.com/derisco/main.html

But, in the dynamic text box panel, there's that HTML checkbox. That sounds like what I want to use but I can't reference the textbox to an *.HTML file! <loadVariables ("htmlfile.html", varText);> returns nothing. And, if I copy all the HTML code into a *.TXT file, it'll work, but the formatting's not there and the lines are all double-spaced again! Grrrr!

All I want is to be able to let these guys make an HTML file in Dreamweaver (or whatever they use) and use Bold and HREFs and stuff and save it. Then, a dynamic textbox'll read whatever they made.

I'd really appreciate a helping hand with this if anyone could spare a brain cell or two. Thx.

Dynamic Scroll Text Box With Html Formatting
I found this code in a tutorial i downloaded of the FK website (Dynamic_-Greg_Mey-1492) Its a Dynamic text box scroll script. The text is loaded from an external .txt doc. The original txt had no formatting. I need bold, returns etc.

OK, i know about the HTML formatting in flash( etc)! The problem is that when this is active and the viewer drags the slide bar down and lets go the slider reverts the original position. I’m not that familiar with dynamic scripting so I thought that you could have a look and see it there’s anything odd about the code. Thanks

//-----------------------------------------

scrollboxtop = _root.scrollbar.scrollbox._y;
scrollboxbottom = _root.scrollbar.scrollbox._y + (_root.scrollbar.scrollbox._height) ;

HTML Formatting & Dynamic Text Fields
I’m sure this is a no-brainer, but I can’t see the wood for the trees right now. I’m pulling in some text from an external txt and dumping it into a HTML enabled, multi-line dynamic text field.

I’ve embedded the font’s I require and that doesn’t appear to be the problem.

The text in the txt runs as follows...

&bodyText=<*font size="16" face="HelveticaNeue Condensed" color="#FF6600"><*b><*i>Sub Head text<*/b><*/i><*/font>
<*font size="12" face="Helvetica 55 Roman" color="#666666">Body Text<*/font>&

(added * above to prevent HTML parsing)

Now, no matter what I do, I can’t get anything passed the end of the first <*/font> tag to display. So in the case of the above, all I get is a correctly formatted…

Sub Head text

...and that’s it. Nothing else.

Any suggestions you could make would be most gratefully received.

Thank you kindly.

HTML Dynamic Text Formatting Errors
I've read every thread on nearly every forum about this, but it doesn't seem to want to work with me. I am trying to format my external .txt file with html. For example, welcome or welcome

To load the text

Code:
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("text1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
preloadMC.unloadMovie();
main.myText.html = true;
main.myText.htmlText = this.myNews;
}else{
preloadMC._visible = true;
}
}
The instance name of "main" being the movieclip that has the dynamic text contained within it.
And yes, the dynamic text has the render as html button selected.
And in a .txt file i have myNews = etc, etc, text goes here.

Thank you all very much for any responses.

HTML Formatting Incorrectly In Dynamic Text Box
So I'm still working on the CMS with Flash site and have encountered another thing that puzzles me.

I'm reading a .PHP page from my server and loading it into Flash and it returns HTML - and luckily not the .PHP script code - to Flash - so that's great.

Except for that it totally ignores the html and shows stuff like %22%3E%09%0D%0A%09%09%09%0D%0A%09% rather than follow points and spaces and punctuation and what not.

What I'm doing is:

Code:
var menulunch:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
menulunch.load("content.php");
menulunch.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
contentveld.htmlText = this;
} else {
trace("could not load text.");
}
};
What am I missing this time ?

[F8] Input Text Field Without HTML Formatting?
Hi gang, got a problem that's likely extremely simple but is driving me round the bend.

I have an Input Text field. The var assigned to it is "newword". The user types in a new word, which is assigned to newword, then my movie runs off and does all it has to do with the word.

However, when I trace(newword), it's tossing on a bunch of HTML code around it that I don't want. So what should be "hello" becomes: "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2" Blah dee blah>hello<Bunch of other formatting></TEXTFORMAT>".

How do I get it to just input the text?

I'm in Flash 8, and the "Render text as HTML" button on the properties bar has no effect.

Thanks,
-k.

HTML Formatting Not Working In Text Field.
I have a progromatically created text field.
html set to true.
the basic formatting - such as , <h1> etc, don't render.

Am I missing something?

var nWidth:Number = mcDisplayBackground._width;
var nHeight:Number = mcDisplayBackground._height;
var nX:Number = mcDisplayBackground._x;
var nY:Number = mcDisplayBackground._y;
var nInterval:Number;
this.createTextField("tContent", this.getNextHighestDepth(), nX,nY,nWidth,nHeight);
tContent.html = true;
tContent.multiline = true;
tContent.wordWrap = true;
tContent.condenseWhite = true;

var lvArticleContent:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lvArticleContent.onData = function(sHTMLData:String):Void {
tContent.htmlText = sHTMLData;
};

var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
cssStyles.onLoad = function():Void {
tContent.styleSheet = this;
lvArticleContent.load("flashContent.html");
};

cssStyles.load("presentation.css");

HTML Link In XML Throwing Off Text Formatting
I have this text below in my xml file:

Code:
<page name="contact">Postimpressions Incorporated
1400 Maryland Avenue
Wilmington, Delaware 19805

[ p ] 302.656.2271
[ f ] 302.656.0628
[ e ] <a href="mailto:postimpressions@verizon.net">postimpressions@verizon.net</a></page>
And then when I publish, the text in my swf shows up like this (first line gets bumped down 1 and indented, email link gets bumped down and indented):

Code:

Postimpressions Incorporated
1400 Maryland Avenue
Wilmington, Delaware 19805

[ p ] 302.656.2271
[ f ] 302.656.0628
[ e ]
postimpressions@verizon.net
When I pull the HTML link out, that formatting issue goes away. Anyone know why it would be causing that problem?

This is my code for parsing the xml in flash:

ActionScript Code:
function loadXML(event:Event):void {
xml=new XML(event.target.data);
parseXML(xml);
}

function parseXML(xmlHandle:XML):void {
var pageList:XMLList=xmlHandle.page;
for (var i:Number=0; i < pageList.length(); i++) {
var pageElement:XML=pageList[i];
pages[i]=pageElement;
}
}

HTML Formatting In Text Fields .... AHHHHG
There has got to be a better way then what I'm doing.
I want to let a user update a portion of their Flash page by using LoadVar and loading from a file the HTML text that is placed into a Text Field.
Problem is that I don't want the user to have to learn HTML formatting or for me to have to do it because its a pain...you know where.

I can type:
htmlText_txt.htmlText ="P.O. Box 170 Sheridan, Michigan U.S.A."

but to do this for each line is a pain...you know where for me or impossible for the person whos site I'm doing.

This then has to be converted to URL Encoding before loaded using LoadVar.

Is there a tool out there to make this ease for us people that don't want to waste the night away just to type in 10 lines in HTML formatting?

Please...LOL. This would be valuable to the user if I could find a easier way.

Thanks in advance and PEACE

External Text Source Html Formatting
A movieclip with a textbox in it is loading text from a php script using:
Movie_mc.loadVariables("script.php", this, "GET");

The text the php script echos back has basic, supported HTML tags in it. Flash will either show the text with the tags as if it were normal text, or it will not show the text at all.

Using:
"text_txt.html = true;" and "text_txt.htmltext" does not work.

Selecting 'Render text as HTML' for the textbox makes no text appear at all.

When the font is not embedded, the text does not display.
When the font is embedded, the text shows up with the tags visible.

Does anyone know another method that should work?

HTML Formatting Not Showing Up In Dynamic Text
I have a dynamic text box with this code associated with it:

Code:
aText.htmlText = "";
aText.htmlText += "<a href = " + aRSSLinks[i] + ">";
aText.htmlText += aRSSTitles[i] + "</a> ";
aText.htmlText += aRSSDescriptions[i] + " ";
The text comes up, but is not formatted as bold or linked. When I trace(aText.htmlText); there are a bunch of random <TEXTFORMAT>, , and tags, but not the ,<a>, and tags.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Html Formatting Of Text Files In Flash: Help Appreciated
Hello,

I'd like to know a bit more about the 'undocumented' asfunction. I know about the use of external text files which are html formatted to (for example) load an .swf on a defined level with the asfunction.

I want to know if it's possible to use html code in the style of : visited links, hover, active link, rollover.... Because I want to make that textfield a dynamic menu. That dynamic menu works (it loads the movieclips on the correct level if i click parts of the text, but I can't seem to find a way to let the user know what exactly he selected in the textfield, the only thing that happens is the cursor turning into a hand. Question: is it possible to make use of a textcolorchange or something when users hover the links?

Help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Text Fields, .txt Files And Html Formatting
Basically like the title says, I have my dynamic fields loading external text files. I have the html formatting working, the basic bold, italics, and stuff.

Basically I am designing a site that will be updated by the customer, but with bad experiences from previous clients they screwed things up a lot and I'd have to go in and fix it. I want to create a site that can easily be updated with text files that they can put whatever they want...

A question though, with html formatting, is there a way to include <a href></a> tags so they can put in their own links? Or is this strictly for text formatting.

Any help would be gladly appreciated

Adding Html Formatting To External Text Field
Hi, apologies if you read this post in my previous entry, i should have started it as a new topic..

I've got a dynamic textfield calling an external text file from the server OK, but I want to add a bit of formatting e.g. bolding the titles. I've read a few posts on this, but am getting a headache working out what I change in my code! Or do I change something in the external file itself?

The textfield is called load_txt (the var: my_lv)

The action applies to the layer is:

my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.load("http://www.europahost.net/nrg/load_txt.txt");
my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
load_txt.htmlText = this.load_txt;
trace("loaded");
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};

Thanks in adv

[F8] Apply HTML Formatting To Dynamic Text Sourced From XML
Hi, I would have though that this would be a simple procedure but can't find any info that makes sense..
How do I format my dynamic text pulled from an xml source?
i.e. I wish to apply HTML formatting to my XML doc including , etc.
However, when I apply these tags the doc just fails to load into my dynamic text box. I've tried checking render text as HTML but that hasn't worked..
Where am I going wrong? This has to be an easy one..

Thanks,

Input Text Field- How To Prevent HTML Formatting
Hi

I am trying to create an input text field which does not insert HTML formatting to whatever the viewer types in it. For example, if the viewer puts the text "hello" into the text box, the value of the box should not be

hello

but just "hello"

I have unchecked that "allow html formatting" button on the properties bar

but it still inserts those tags. What am I doing wrong?

in the attached example, you should see the problem demonstrated - if you click on the button, it traces the value of the input text box. I would like that to be simply "hello" without all the html tags.

Thanks!
