I´m having troubles asigning multiple formats to a text of a textfield.
Here is the code. (I´m sure it isn´t a font embeding problem)

ActionScript Code:

this.tf1_txt.autoSize=false;
this.tf1_txt.border=true;
this.tf1_txt.borderColor=0x888888;
var textformat=new TextFormat("FFF Alaska", 8, 0x000000, true)

this.tf1_txt.multiline=true
this.tf1_txt.wordWrap=true;
this.tf1_txt.selectable=false;
this.tf1_txt.text="This is a Product"
this.tf1_txt.setTextFormat(textformat);

var textformat1=new TextFormat("FFF Alaska", 10, 0x669999, false)
textformat1.url="/photo1.html"
textformat1.target="_blank"
var snro=this.tf1_txt.length;

Using Subscript With Dynamic Text
i am pulling in text with remoting from xml documents. i have a subscript character that i was hoping would work in flash. the xml uses cdata. i was able to clean up other characters (®, &) with the split and join in flash however i am not sure what is possible with the tag. i saw that flash supports a character position but it is only available to static text. so ...is this even possible?

thanks for any help!

<li> Support In Textfield
Hi,

I've just been reading that flash supports the li tag. It does seem to put a bullet point in front but doesn't pick up on any of the css I have like:

li{ font-family:Arial; }

Is this just more dire html/css support from flash or do I have to do something else?

Thanks,

Greg

Dynamic Text And Superscript
HI all,

I'm trying to get superscript for numbers to work using the unicodes of the font.
Anyone know of a hack to achieve this ?

I managed to get it to work with unicodes and if i create a dynamic textfield and within flash specify the characters i want to embed and then did this:
myText.html= "testing /u2074";
off the top of my head /u2074 will display 2 in superscript.

The font i'm using is palatino which has all the superscript codes for numbers 1-9.

The problem is i need to read the text from an external xml file. I've put the text i want in cdata so /u2074 will be read.

I'm reading the node with the cdata into myText.html and what it displays is:
testing /u2074 instead of testing 2.(that 2 should be superscript)

Anyone have any ideas or managed to achieve this ?

TextField HTML Support
I am developing a flash application that returns html text to a textField object. The returned text is a list of names.

I have recently added search functionality to this application, and would like to be able to highlight the searched name within a page of non-highlighted names.

I have been trying to work with css to see if I can find a way to make this happen, but have been unsuccessful to this point. Here is the html code that I know will do what I want:

FirstName LastName

Is there any way to get this effect in flash?

Thanks,
Ron

Superscript Font For Dynamic Html Text Field
Hello Forum

I am loading in a bunch of text and format them in flash into a newspaper-like layout.

The problem I am running into and can't seem to solve are superscript characters. I've used the GG superscript fonts from this website: http://blog.ggshow.com/index.php/reference?cat=121

Tthe example works fine. But once I try to implement it into my application it fails to work or simply doesn't show up.

Here's my code:

--------------------------------------------
External XML file:
--------------------------------------------
[...]
<item type="text"><![CDATA[.This is a sample text Italic Font here shows up rightsuperscript here doesn't work, ]]>
</item>

[...]

--------------------------------------------
Reading the Texfield:
--------------------------------------------
[...]
public static function getNodeContent(_xml:XML):String{
return String(_xml.firstChild.nodeValue);
}
[...]

--------------------------------------------------
creating the textfield:
--------------------------------------------------
txtHolder = itemMC.createEmptyMovieClip("txt",1);
Textfield.create(txtHolder,XmlArticleData.getNodeContent(itemNode),"articleText")

--------------------------------------------------
The Textfield class:
-------------------------------------------------
public static function create(_movieClip:MovieClip,_str:String,_type:String){
switch (_type) {
case "articleText":

_movieClip.createTextField("txtMC", 1, 0,0, 1, 1);
_movieClip.txtMC.autoSize = "left";
_movieClip.txtMC.type = "dynamic";
_movieClip.txtMC.border = false;
_movieClip.txtMC.multiline = true;
_movieClip.txtMC.html = true;
_movieClip.txtMC.embedFonts = true;
_movieClip.txtMC.selectable = false;
_movieClip.txtMC.wordWrap = true;
_movieClip.txtMC.antiAliasType = "advanced";
_movieClip.txtMC.thickness = 1.2;
_movieClip.txtMC.sharpness = 0;

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = "ArticleTextFont";
fmt.indent = 10;
fmt.bold = false;
fmt.italic = false;
fmt.size = 11.5;
fmt.leading = 10;
fmt.color = 0x000000;
fmt.align = "justify";
}
_movieClip.txtMC.htmlText = _str;
_movieClip.txtMC.setTextFormat(fmt);

-----------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Cheers

Multiple Formats In Dynamic Text
Hi, everyone. I have a question about text formating that I'm sure someone can answer for me.

I'm pulling an array from a MySQL database that is updated via a runtime on the systems of my content providers to keep them from mucking up the site

The script as it stands, pulls the Title, Client, and Description of each piece, newest to oldest, from the array and plops them out with some line breaks to make it look readable.

Currently, all the strings are placed via += into the same text field, which is then scrollable using the standard ScrollBar UI Component.

See the working model here.

What I'd like to do is to format the title such that it is a bit bigger, and a different font, bold. Format the client so it's light gray and small, and the text as something more uniformly readable. Not too hard with static text, a big harder than I expected dynamically.

I read up on TextFormat objects, but the only way I can see to implement this in a scrollbar is to use one dynamic text field -- and the only method I can see of dynamically using multiple text styles in one field is to designate the start and stop points of the style change as character numbers.

The whole point of using flash rather than PHP to display this on the page was centered around text formatting and scrollability. I have half the mission complete, but just can't seem to get ahold of this text problem.

Any solutions? Is using one text field the best idea or should I be dynamically creating fields in a movie clip and then scroll the whole clip?

Thanks a bunch.

Chinese Font Support In Dynamic Fields In CS3
Hi
I understand that in pre-CS3 Flash you had to embed the entire Chinese character set in EACH dynamic text field you wanted to use it in, blowing out the size of the FLA. I have a site where I want Chinese or English text to appear in dynamic fields based on a user's region - is CS3 better at this?

cheers

Textfield Woes, How To Anti-Alias A Dynamic Textfield?
this is driving me nuts, even if i have it marked so that my dynamic textfield is anti aliased, it still looks as if its text is aliased. And if i simply make that textfield Static, the text all of a sudden looks amazingly crisp and anti aliased.

How can i fix this?! I am attempting to load xml data into my text fields but its wasted if the text looks like crap..

So can anyone enlighten me on how to do this? i tried searching Flashs help, all i came out with was "Textfield._quality" but i do not understand what the description means exactly.. And i tried coding my textfield to _quality = "BEST";, with no avail.

Please help, i'v seen other websites with what i am sure is dynamically loaded fields, and smooth looking text... so what gives?

Thanks!

Link In Dynamic Textfield To Jump To Section Of Same Textfield
Howdy all,

I know you've all seen this before - you are on a website and you click a link and you stay on the same page but jump down to a different section of the page. Like an FAQ page or something where all the questions are listed above but you click on one and jumps down to the answer below.

Is it possible to do this in a dynamic (scrollable) textfield with externally loaded text files in Flash? I don't have DW and I know that there are limited html tags available but if anyone knows an easy way to do this please let me know!

thanks!

Masking Dynamic Textfield When The Textfield Has A Stylesheet
ok... i have a movieClip containing dynamic textfields, which i'm trying to mask. the textfields are linked to a stylesheet. i understand that, for the masking to work, i have to embed the font. so i've placed the font in the library, given it a linkage name and set embedFonts = true for the dynamic textfields.

what do i do next? and does the fact that i'm embeding the font override the effect of the stylesheet?

(sorry if i sound confused over this. that's because i am.)

thanks in advance for any help

[F8] Input Textfield Inside A Dynamic Textfield?
Hi,

Is it possible to place an input textfield inside a dynamic textfield?

I'd like to replace the variable, this.nTotal, below with an input textfield.

this.txtComplete.text = "There are " + this.nTotal + " pages in " + this.sGirlName + "'s book.";

Subscript In Flash
Okay I have a horrible feeling this isnt going to be possible....

I'm importing text from an xml file, but it could just as easily be a text file I suppose. anyway the text is then put into a dynamic text field set to HTML formatting, unfortunately I need it to display subscript and superscript characters. Which if I just use normal html tags it just displays these in the tex box.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks, Andy.

Subscript Text
I am once again faced with a problem I had a year ago and am hoping someone can help me. I am trying to have it so that a user can type a subscript into a dynamic text field. I posted this thread a while back.

Subscript

The solution never really came out of this thread (at least that I could tell) and I had to move onto other things....but the demon has returned.
I have given up on superscript for now, but would just like it so that a user can hold down a key, and the font size reduces in the dynamic text field...then returns to original size when key is let go. It is for entering molecular formulas like H2O (but the 2 is smaller and set down a bit). At this point I think I can achieve the desired effect by just having the numerical value be reduced in size. Any suggestions?
thanks,
skee
