Flash :: PLEASE HELP :) Full Justifying Scrollable Text?

Justifying Text
I have a scrollbox(made in Flash MX 2004), I have justified the text and it looks fine in the workspace. When I preview it in the player, it is not justified, it only gets worse when i have to take the flash swf into a html file. My client is very particular about the text being justified. What can I do to fix this problem.

The site is at: www.ecaledonhills.com/Jade

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Justifying Text
Not a question, but an observation that falls under the "so obvious it's overlooked" category.

I've had a problem justifying two blocks of text that would not cooperate. The other one worked fine, and you can imagine how frustrating it was to try all kinds of things to get the other two to work.

Finally I just killed the text box and created another one. Problem solved.

I'm using MX 2004, and am waiting for a new computer before upgrading to 8.

Hope that helps somebody.

Justifying Text
Hi All,

I feel really stupid asking this but I'm at a loss here. I want to justify align my text. Easy enough. Right?

Well, I highlight the text box and choose justify. Works great and the text is aligned like I want it. The problem is when I publish the movie the text is NOT aligned?

There has to be a simple solution to this and your help is greatly appreciated.

HELP:Justifying Text In Flash
Hi all,
I’m having lots of trouble in a matter that should be really simple: Justifying text in flash.

There is almost no problem when I assign a full justify while editing the textfield, but when I publish ... it just skips it and goes for the left/none!!

I’ve embed fonts, chosen selectable and word wrap options. If I don’t use wordwrap it just doesn’t show the whole text.

Maybe there’s a setting somewhere that I should know...
Can I solve this with the HTML text option? If yes please tell me how (keep in mind that I have no knowledge at all on HTML code)
Further more, is there a way not to force full justify? I’m asking this because if a line contains just one word the spaces between one character and the other are around 100px, which is not very nice...

The text field is in a movieclip but this shouldn’t affect its contents, should it?

My web design will be at least 10 times worse if I can’t make this, so I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks (for reading this at least)

Justifying Dynamic Text
Hi!

I'd like to know if there's a way to justify a dynamic text. The text seems to be justified (I choose that option by paragraph options), but when a variable is asigned to it, it looses this property, how can I solve this?

Thankx!

Justifying Dynamic Text
Hi members

Is there anyway to justify text imported to a dynamice text box from a .txt file? even using action script?

Justifying Dynamic Text
I have a text scroller in Flash 5 that dynamically loads an external text file. The "Full justify" option for the text field does not seem to work. Is that normal? What am I missing?

Justifying Html Text In Dynamic Text Field

Center Justifying Dynamic Text
Hi! I've been having a small problem, and I need some help on determining if the problem is just something that can't be done in flash, or if it is my code. I have this news scroller for work - Vertical member (160 X 600) And the idea is that it has 3 text fields (Headlines). These fields are lined up vertically (one at the top of the scroller, one at the middle, and one at the bottom.). I load them dynamically from XML, and after about 5 seconds, I have them all move up. (the top one goes up the top, and comes back from the bottom, the other two move up). The problem is that I am trying to center justify them, and it is giving me problems. When they're loaded I can center justify them, using this code:

Code:

MovieClip.prototype.centerFunction = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";

_root.news2.headline2_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news3.headline3_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news1.headline1_txt.setTextFormat(format);
}
Now, when they are first center justified by the code, they look slightly off, and once they move they arrange themselves correctly. Any idea what's causing this bug? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Justifying Loaded Text In My Dynamic Text Box....not Possible?
Hi there,

I can't seem to get text that I'm loading from a .txt file to show as justified in the dynamic text box when it loads in my movie...it always looked left alligned.

I've tried making the initial .txt file rich formatted (looks hoorible though i may have done it wrong), i've tried justifying it in word before saving it as a .txt file, and then on top of it all and also seperately I have the dynamic text box set at justified....but it never works.

It would look sooo much better neat and justified...LOL
But is this possible?
Can anyone help?

Many Thanks,

Cesca

I'm Creating A Website But I Have One Problem: I Need A Scrollable Text Box That Can Hold Pictures And Text Please Help?
I creating a flash website but i need a text box or something else that can hold text and pictures. Please help?

Setting Text In Scrollable Dynamic Text Field
This is not really a question, though maybe someone can explain this behaviour.

1. Create a dynamic text field
(instance name: yadda_txt; variable: yadda)
2. Drag a scrollbar component on it
(target textfield: yadda_txt)
3. Set text

Method 1:
yadda_txt.text = "some very very long text... etc... etc...";

Method 2:
yadda = "some very very long text... etc... etc...";

If you use method 1, the scrollbar will become active.
If you use method 2, the scrollbar will NOT become active.

Is it because the target textfield is yadda_txt?
Perhaps the scrollbar is listening to events on yadda_txt?

I'm actually wondering if the scrollbar really is disabled, because I can't enable it with setEnabled(true);
Unless the scrollbar checks yadda_txt which is still quite empty.

Anyone know how any good Flash books?

Dynamically Loading Text & Graphis Into Scrollable Text Box - Possible?
Hi,

Somebody wants me to design into a site a feature that will enable them to upload text & graphics into an section of their site.

I know you can use Macromedia's “Contribute” for a similar sort of thing, but i did'nt want to go to the expense of employing that. I would be able to load in simple text file with no problem but is it possible to load in both text & graphics into a scrollable text field?

Any help or tuts much appreciated.

Help Fix My Flash Scrollable Text. It Does Not Stop At The Start Or End Of The Text.
I have my scrollable text with up and down buttons. When I press the Up or Down buttons, it will keep going until there is no more text displayed and is just a blank screen. Can you please help and modify the flash so it knows when to stop.

Help appreciated.

Created This Scrollable Text But The Text Doesn't Stop And Just Keeps Going
Theres this tutorial on this site about builign a scrollable text,
http://www.flashadvisor.com/tutorial/Beginners/Building_Easy_Text_or_Images_Scrolling_with_Flash_MX_2004-21-4.html

I've built it, but when I use the arrow scrollbars, the text keeps on going and it also does it in reverse. Can't seem to work it like on the example. Could it be that I am using the latest Flash or is this action 2 script incompatible?

Does anyone know how to make it stop at the end of the text and not to be able to go backwards either.

Help Me With Scrollable Text
Hi, I have done this before but I am having a weird problem right now. I am using flash mx and whenever i make a static textbox and i write in it, it works fine but if i make it a dynamic textbox and put the bouneries around hte text the preview shows it ok but when i test the scene all the text is going sideways. waht i mean is that when you make a static textbox you have an option for the text to go all in one line or you can set bounderies for it to go on a new line. well all my text goes into one line no matter what i set it to. but that only happens when i select dynamic text.

Scrollable Text
Hi i'm creating a website

www.itsremarkable.co.uk

and the client has asked for some changes for the scrollable text on some of the pages. they want the body copy to stay regular and the headings to be bold/or a different colour, every time i change to style of a section of the copy, the whole amount of text changes. i found a way to do this without changing the rest of the text, but it then stops being scrollable text. the text at them moment is input text option. I'm completely new to flash and put this bit of text flash from a tutorial, so if anybody could help i would be really greatful!!!

best regards, neil

Scrollable Text...Help Me Create It
Hi everyone,
I know this is a rookie thing, but I don't know how to create buttons that will scroll text. Can anyone send me a sample? Or help me where i am stuck?

I know how to set the y property when a button is clicked, but I can't figure out how to make it so that when you keep clicking the button, the text keeps going upward. so far I can only get it to go up one time and after that, the button is useless. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks so much!

Scrollable Text In Flash MX
I'm trying to reuse a pair of scroll buttons in multiple places, so I'm using variables instead of just the particular instance name.

For example, on 1 button, I jump to a particular frame, and also have the action:
_root.currentepisode = _root.empty.season1.epi1
(_root.empty.season1.epi1 is the location of the scrollable text field)

Then, on the buttons that will control the scrolling, I have placed a movieclip in the Over state (so it will constantly scroll on the mouse over), with the actions
_root.currentepisode.scroll += 1 (currentepisode being the variable containing the text field I want to scroll.

This doesn't work. If I remove the variable on the button, and change it to
_root.empty.season1.epi1.scroll +=1
It works fine, but this would require me having 20 different scroll buttons (since I'm not placing the actions on the button, but on a movieclip WITHIN the button).

I have a feeling I'm making a simple mistake, possible with my syntax. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Scrollable Text Problem
I'm using a scroller which scrolls text in a static text field. (works perfectly) The problem is that I need it to scroll dynamic text. - When I make the text box dynamic, the text dissapears.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to the code to make it work?

Heres the code on the MC containing the text :

Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var ypos = getProperty(_parent._parent.scroller.txtinfo, _y);
var txtht = getProperty(_parent._parent.scroller.txtinfo, _height);
var scrl = _parent._parent.scroller:txtboxy-txtht+100;
var totaldiff = _parent._parent.scroller:txtboxy-scrl;
// calculate value for the proportional movment of the sphere on the scrollbar
var promove = getProperty(_parent._parent.scroller.scrpath.pathsph, _height)*speed/totaldiff;
var ysph = _parent._parent.scroller.scrpath.sphere._y;
// Change the value of 'speed' to change the speed of scrolling.
var speed = 6;
// trace(ypos);
// trace (txtht);
// trace(scrl);
if (_parent._parent:move == 1 && ypos>=scrl) {
ypos = ypos-speed;
ysph = ysph+promove;
setProperty (_parent._parent.scroller.txtinfo, _y, ypos);
setProperty (_parent._parent.scroller.scrpath.sphere, _y, ysph);
}
if (_parent._parent:move == 2 && ypos<=_parent._parent.scroller:txtboxy) {
ypos = ypos+speed;
ysph = ysph-promove;
setProperty (_parent._parent.scroller.txtinfo, _y, ypos);
setProperty (_parent._parent.scroller.scrpath.sphere, _y, ysph);
}
}

{
heres the code on the timeline:

Code:
stop ();
var txtboxy = getProperty(_parent.scroller.txtinfo, _y);
var sphypos = getProperty(_parent.scroller.scrpath.sphere, _y);
//trace(sphypos);
and heres the code on the buttons to make it scroll up/down:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
_parent._parent.:move = 1;
}
on (rollOut) {
_parent._parent.:move = 0;
}
If anyone can help id be really grateful.

Scrollable Text & Mages...
I'm looking to make a scrollable window (I know how with text only) that has text and images (almost like a news paper page) but scrolls.

Can I use a .doc .html file (I've tried but can't seem to make it work)? It's just text with an image centered on the paragraph to the right, every so many paragraphs.

Thanks for any and all help,
