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!

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 Html Text Field
Ok I have always had problems with dynamic text fields and fonts but now I am at a crossroads as to a problem. I have a component that fills a dynamic text field created at runtime that is html enabled but it seems to be not "catching" the tags. Now before someone gets on here and says:

Did you set the txt.html = true?
Did you assign the txt.htmlText = "some text"?
Did you embed the fonts?
YES-YES-YES within the component with all the glyphs I need ...meaning also the bolded/italic and regular. The tags are catching at authoring time when I am using the compiled clip. But at runtime they are showing < characters here is what I am tracing for the dynamic field at authoring time:

<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">HTML text goes here...</TEXTFORMAT>

Now when I do a trace at runtime this is what I am getting:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">HTML text goes here...</TEXTFORMAT>

Now the only thing I can think of is that there is a race condition that is not catching the boolean or something before the text is rendered on the stage?

Now the funny thing is the component I am working on is version 2...version 1 is the EXACT same code nothing has changed and it works but for the longest time it was having the same problems but ...boom it just started working when I set the txt.border = true.

I was also thinking maybe the order of setting the particular properties was an issue or something so I did trace on the format and textfields and assigned them in order of which they are created. On other thing is I already tried embedding the fonts within the library that did not solve my issue.

I was curious of kglad or another developer would have an answer to this.

Attach Code

private function setInputText():Void {
_inputText.selectable = false;
_inputText.multiline = true;
_inputText.wordWrap = true;
//_inputText.border = true;
_inputText.html = true;
_inputText.embedFonts = true;
_inputText.htmlText = _boxText;
_inputText.type = "dynamic";
//_inputText.text = _boxText;
_inputText.autoSize = "left";
_inputText.antiAliasType = "normal";
_fmt = new TextFormat();
_fmt.letterSpacing = 1;
_fmt.kerning = true;
_fmt.leading = 2;
_fmt.align = "justify";
_fmt.color = _boxTextColor;
_fmt.size = 12;
_fmt.font = "Arial Narrow";
_inputText.setTextFormat(_fmt);
trace(_inputText.htmlText);
/*********Format Testing************
for (var prop in _fmt) {
trace(prop+": "+_fmt[prop]);
}
trace("---------------------------------------");
for (var prop in _inputText) {
trace(prop+": "+_inputText[prop]);
}
trace("---------------------------------------");

Externally Loaded Dynamic Text Does Not Show In Html...
Hi. I'm new to this so don't be surprised if this is a stupid mistake. I went through a tutorial here called "Tutorial 34 - scrolling a text box II", in which text is read from a txt file into a dynamic text field. Everything worked fine.

The problem arises when I put the scroll box into a movie I was working on. It previews fine. It plays fine when uploaded (www.mysite.com/flash.swf). However when embedded into an HTML doc the movie doesn't show any text (www.mysite.com/flash.htm).

I wish I could discuss the code with you guys, but I have no script skills and pretty much copy-pasted the code. I have attached the files in the hope that someone will be able to look at them and tell me where I went wrong. Any help is most appreciated.

JavaScript In A Dynamic HTML Text Field

Will flash recognize JavaScript in a dynamic HTML text box? I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

Susbtitute For The & In A Dynamic Html Text Field
I am trying to add a map blast link to a .txt file that is loaded into my .swf. I am replacing all "&" with %26 but at certain points of the link, it is losing information and not passing everything to map blast. This is what the link looks like.

Code:

a href="http://www.mapblast.com/(hohbon45crdvkwiilqp1vr45)/map.aspx?L=USA%26C=40.09076%2c-82.98913%26A=7.16667%26P=|40.09076%2c-82.98913|1|1019+Mediterranean+Ave%2c+Columbus%2c+OH+43229|L1|" target="_blank">get directions</a>
You can see certain areas of the link that there are parts that have this: %2c which are for some reason getting deleted when I click the link and view it in the URL of the map blast.

are there any substitutions for this so flash won't ignore them or any subsitution for the %26 to represent "&"?

Thanks

Can't Get My % Character To Appear In HTML Dynamic Text Field
I'm loading text from a text file into a dynamic text field that is set to render text as html, but my % signs won't show up.

I undertsand that in html, the % thing is not displayed as itself, but rather as an indicator for various other characters and string formats. This is most likely (?) the problem.

I knew there was an alternate method to display the % in html (&#37), however flash parses the & sign as the start of a new variable when you load variables in from an external text file, so I can't use this either! I'm stuck! Anyone have ideas? Thanks.

HTML Tags For Dynamic Text Field
I have a scrolling dynamic text field for a site I am developing, but I need more control on different words in the paragraph (to change color and or positioning). I think this is possible to do with HTML tags, but I cannot get them to work. Do they go in the actual dynamic text field paragraph? In scripts?

Can sombody help me figure this out? I simply want to change the color of some of the words in the dynamic text field.

Dynamic Text Field Html Tags
Hello!

Issue: dynamic textfield created at runtime with html text doesn't display bold and italics.

Having the Font symbol in my library with the linkage name "Avenir" :

tf = this.createTextField('t', 0, 0, 0, 100, 300);
tf.html = true;
tf.multiline = true;
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.autoSize = true;
tf.selectable = false;
tf.embedFonts = true;
txtFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat.font = "Avenir";
txtFormat.leading = 2;
txtFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
txtFormat.size = 12;

tf.htmlText = "bla bla"
tf.setTextFormat(txtFormat);

The textfield totally ignores the bold html tag. The right font is displayed but the html tags are ignored. So if I want one text field to be able to dynamically display bold and italics (html text) using a Font Face in my library...how do I do it? What am I missing?

Thanks!

HTML Links In A Dynamic Text Field
Hey folks,

I'm in the process of redesigning my weblog in Flash. All of the archived posts in my database are formatted using HTML. I'm displaying the content in a dynamic text field, and I have the HTML formatted text appearing just fine.

The problem is, the links are not underlined, or otherwise distinguished from the rest of the content. Most of the references I've read have recommended just putting u tags around the link to underline them, but that doesn't work well in this situation, as I have years of posts in the database already, and none of them have the u tags in place.

Is there a way to change the way a dynamic text field displays HTML links? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if I'm encoutering a bug of some sort. What I have here is a dynamic text field with some texts and I want to insert the image in between them. Two problem I had encountered are...

1) The image is not correctly placed in between texts where it belong.

2) Unexpected spacing occur underneath the image but it goes away when I set the vspace = "-5".

Why is there too problem with Flash MX??

Code:

system.useCodepage = false;

var url_comment = "";

//Don't use the "_blank" as target link to open up new browser windows since IE doesn't create a new browser window, so use "new" instead...

//((http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/load_images_via_XML/index.shtml))
//Image's hspace and vspace must be at zero for the scroller to work properly...

Making A Dynamic Text Field Display HTML
I'm using Flash MX 2004

This is driving me insane and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. I am loading an external txt file into a dynamic text field. The text file contains some simple HTML tags which I know are supported by Flash ( ie ). However when I test the file the text is displayed with the HTML tags as part of the text rather than interpreting them. Selecting the Render Text as HTML button on the property inspector does nothing. I've tried to set it in the code but thats not working either - here is my code -

section1Text.wordWrap = true;
oneVars = new LoadVars();
oneVars.load("section1.txt");
oneVars.onLoad = function() {
section1Text.text = this.sectionOne;
section1Text.html = true;
}

thanks a lot

Issues W/plaintext In Dynamic Html Text Field
I have a text field that I load some text into from an external text file. Because I wanted to do some text formatting on individual strings in the body of the text, I turned on the 'render text as html' option in the text box properties.

My problem is that only the text that has html tags around it shows up, so if i were to load teh string "May 25th is graduation day for seniors at local high school...", only the May 25th would show up in bold, and the rest would be left out.

I tried this:
code:
trace(textFieldName);

AFTER i loaded the string into the text field, and it echoed ALL of the text that it was supposed to, including the text that did not have html tags. it seems that the text box isn't rendering anything that isn't html. anyone have ideas? thanks for your time

Dynamic Text Field Ignoring HTML Formatting
Hello,

I have a dynamic text field set to multiline and render as html, but when I assign any text to it which contains simple HTML formatting like boo, Flash Player 9 simply ignores any text between the tags. eg boo doesn't display at all !!!
The text field has both an instance and variable name and I get the same results from both.
If I trace the variable I can see the boo but I can't get it to display.
If I uncheck the render as html option, it displays boo ... obvioulsy unrendered.
I'm obviously missing something simple ... please put me out of my misery.

Thank you.

HTML Links Won't Display In Dynamic Text Field
I am loading external text files in dynamic text fields on my webage. These texts contain html links (<a href="page.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a> and I have "render as HTML" on and "selectable" off in my dynamic text field. Also, I am loading a CSS file. Not only do I not have a hand cursor, but I do not even have any of the text from that piece of html code down. What is going on with this? Please respond asap, as I have been struggling with this for a day now. Here is the Actionscript for loading the CSS:

var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("styles.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
} else {
trace("Error loading CSS file.");
}
};

var zloc_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
zloc_lv.load("zloc.txt");
zloc_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
} else {

}
};
zloc_txt.html = true;
zloc_txt.editable = false;

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.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;

Dynamic Html Text Field And Image Loader Questions
hi all,
i have two questions to put to you. first: i have a dynamic text box in my fla with an instance name of contactTextField and a variable name of contactText. im drawing information in from an external xml, and id like to display this in the text box but with html enabled so i can use the and <a> tags to display bold text and links respectivily. my problem is this. when i set the textfield to be html enabled and put in a test string of " hello " into contactTextField.htmlText it doesn't show up. using a for...in loop to trace out all the properties of the textfield shows that html=true but the test string is ignored. if i set the test string to contactTextField.text or contactText it gets the string yet doesn't display it. further fiddling about yielded the discovery that the text will appear, and bolded, if i don't embed the font used in the text field. this is only simple arial. if i don't embed it it displays but looks terrible, if i do it doesn't display at all. does anybody have any idea of why this is happening? im using flash mx2004 pro but exporting to flash 6 (i tried exporting to flash 7 but this makes no difference).

my second question is this. part of the site is a artists display area, where jpgs are loaded in of the artists pictures. currently when one picture is loaded in it replaces the previous picture. this means that if i go back to look at a previous loaded picture it has to load in again. if i coded it that each picture clicked created a new movieclip inside the display and loaded the jpg into that, could i then just turn the visibility of those clips on and off, ie: if i go back to look at a previously loaded clip, i just turn the visibility of that movieclip on, thus only having to load a picture once. will this eventually affect performance? there is a potential for quite alot of artists, each one with a maximum of 5 collections that can contain any number of pictures. if youre looking at the site for a prolonged period of time, viewing alot of artists and all of their pictures, would flash eventually grind to a halt, having hundreds of movieclips with jpgs inside them loaded in? hopefully youll get the jist of what i mean.

any help you could give would be much appreciated

Some HTML Tags Not Working In Dynamic Text Field? [MX04]
Hello,

I've searched the forum for an answer to this question but can't seem to find one. Maybe someone can help me. I am fairly new to Flash and am currently using MX2004. I have a field of text that needs to be scrollable and is, therefore, set to dynamic. I had some problems getting the text to appear when the movie was published but finally linked this my needing to export the font (Univers 45 Light), which I did. Everything seemed fine until I tried to add HTML tags to make certain words italic. Rather than making these words italic, the following code:

Code:
it's patented!
simply made the text within the tags dissapear. The bold tags gave me the same problem while tags like worked fine. My gut feeling is that this is a problem with the italic and bold version of Univers 45 Light not being exported. However, I do not know this for certain and am clueless as to how to remedy the problem. The text is not being loaded from an external file, but is being assigned in AS with:

Code:
myText_txt.htmlText = "this is the text with tags that don't work";
Does anyone have any suggestions or leads on fixes for this problem?

Thank you for your time,

-ZR

Html Special Character Not Showing In Dynamic Text Field?
Hi - I am trying to get the the HTML special character for eacute to display in a dynamic text field. The symbol looks like é but does not show up at all when the movie is exported. Any idea why this is happening or how to make it show up?

*** The "e" in eS (see code below) is what needs to be replaced.

Thanks for your help!

on (rollOver) {
this.roll(100);

Html-formatting Of Dynamic Text Field With Embedded Font
If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like to show up if you are also embedding a font?

I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?

Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?

This is my code:

ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";
myformat.size = 20;

curr_image = curr_top.createTextField("largetext", 401, 242, 32, 682, 254);
curr_image.selectable = true;
curr_image.multiline = true;
curr_image.html = true;
curr_image.embedFonts = true;
curr_image.htmlText = "Hello this is a text field";
curr_image.setTextFormat(myformat);
