Flash :: TextField Line Breaks And Flash 8vs9

Adding Line Breaks And Paragraph Breaks In Dynamic Text - Best Method
I'm using dynamic text and wondering what is the best way (heck, any way) to mark line breaks or paragraph breaks. I'm curious about what Flash MX AS 1.0 is capable of/ supports. I have read a little about HTML enabbling and then using HTML tags, which is probably a good solution. Just wondering if there is something else, or if that is supported by AS 1.0 at all.

I have read a few threads on special characters (SC), including Moock's site, but line breaking doesn't seem to be part of SC.

And, I've read this, but it looks like it is for Action Script 2.0:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...ght=line+break

Does anyone know off hand if AS1 supports CSS, or was that new in AS2.

-Thanks,
AB.

I hope everyone is not on holiday.

Flash Css Acting Like Line Breaks
Hi, for some reason when I use

Code:

the rendered code looks like this:

Code:
one paragraph
another paragraph
when I want it to look like

Code:
one paragraph

another paragraph
I have a whole article and i really hope I can sort this without having to do some sort of bizare find and replace...

Flash / XML Problem 'Line Breaks'
Hi Guys,

I have a small problem related to displaying text from my XML file into FLASH. I cant seem to get the paragraph of text to breal onto seperate lines and what happens is that the text goes across in one continuos line.

If i add intop the XML file, when up loaded it casues a major problem with the FLASH.

Heres the site.

Go to MY WORK > WEBSITES

You will see that the first problem is that Software/Technology description dosent stay within the content of the grey border.

It should read:

Quote:

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Firweorks MX, Flash MX, HTML, Filemaker Database

Any ideas?
I can provide all or any files needed.

Cheers
Best Wishes

How To Send Line Breaks To Php From Flash?
Hi,

If i have a multiline input text field in flash, for a user to input their address, how do i get flash to send the lump of text as a variable with any line breaks included.

For example, if the user inputs

John Smith
The White House
End of the Lane

...the varaible gets to php as:

John SmithThe White HouseEnd of the Lane

...which is not what i want.

How do i get flash to include the line breaks? I'm assuming there must be some way of doing this?

Any help much appreciated

How Do You Add Line Breaks To Mailto Links In Flash?
Here's what I'm currently using:

getURL ("mailto:?subject=Watch the " + [_root.videoName] + " Wipeout Video!" + "&body=Hi, Click here to watch this great wipeout video, " + [_root.videoName] + ": " + [_root.videoUrl]);

This is how I want the body to be formatted:

Hi,

Click here to watch this great wipeout vide, XXXX:

http://www.url.com

For some reason when I used the %0D code to try and add linebreaks to the body, it's not working. I seems like flash is passing parameters differently than HTML so it cannot be formatted. How can I add the linebreaks?

[F8] Flash To PHP Email Line Breaks Deleted
Hi all -

I have a designed a Flash based interface to send email via PHP.

I capture the variables in Flash using:

var my_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
my_lv.name=name_txt.text;
my_lv.message=message_txt.text;
// ...
// ...
my_lv.send("mail.php","POST");

My PHP reads:

<?php

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["from"] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["from"] . "
";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["from"];

$to = $_POST['to'];
$message=stripslashes($_POST['message']);
//NOTE: I tried $message without stripslashes - same results
$subject=stripslashes($_POST['subject']);
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

Everything is working fine, but when the message is received all line breaks entered in Flash message are deleted making the message one long line. Is there something I need to write into my actionscript/php to allow the message to display properly (including manual line breaks)? I'm guessing (hoping!) it's an easy fix.

Thanks in advance -

Line Breaks Deleted When Flash Variables Sent To PHP

Line Breaks When Sending Form In Flash
Hello All!

Please please please can someone help me with this - I'm going crazy not being able to work out how to do it!!

I have a form on a flash website; several single line inputs and one multiline input textbox. I send it via a php page, but when I get the email through the message part (from the multiline input textbox) displays as one line, rather than having line breaks, eg below:

Message sent in flash:
"Hello,
I'm sending a message using your flash form.
Thanks,
Chris"

Message displayed in email:
"Hello,I'm sending a message using your flash form.Thanks,Chris"

How comes it will not add line breaks, no matter what I do?!!

Thank you so much in advance!!
Chris

PHP/XML/Flash Combo (extra Line-breaks)
Hey all,

I'm having some problems when calling in data from a MySql database.
I use PHP to generate an XML file, wich then gets called into flash.

any help would be highly appreciated.

What happens is that an extra line-break (or newlin or br or whatever) is added in Flash.

I have put my example here :
http://www.indewulf.be/test/keuken.swf

My xml file is here (doesn't work in IE, works in mozilla) :
http://www.indewulf.be/php/keuken.php

All my text fields have HTML enabled in flash,
this is my main chunk of code :

Code:
var add_next_here = 30;

function GenerateMenu(menu_xml){

var menus = menu_xml.firstChild.childNodes;

var prijs = menus[0].firstChild;
prijs_txt.html = true;
prijs_txt.autoSize = true;
prijs_txt.htmlText = prijs;

for (var i = 1; i < menus.length; i++){
this_menu = menus[i].childNodes;

for (var i = 1; i < this_menu.length; i++){
gerecht = this_menu[i];
gerecht_oms = gerecht.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
gerecht_wijn = gerecht.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
if(gerecht_wijn == undefined){gerecht_wijn = '()';}

this_gerecht_mc = main_mc.attachMovie("gerecht_mc","gerecht" add i,i);

// set up shortcuts
gerecht_txt = this_gerecht_mc.gerecht_txt;
wijn_txt = this_gerecht_mc.wijn_txt;
//
gerecht_txt.autoSize = true;
// set text
gerecht_txt.html = true;
gerecht_txt.htmlText = gerecht_oms;
wijn_txt.text = gerecht_wijn;

wijn_txt._y = gerecht_txt._height;

this_gerecht_mc._y = add_next_here;

add_next_here += this_gerecht_mc._height + 10;

}
}

bottom = main_mc._y+mask_mc._height-main_mc._height-50;
}

Tags Forcing Line-breaks In Flash
So I have created a textField that has a CSS style applied to it using embedded fonts. I have in-line <a href= > links that display fine - and even works - but, it creates a line-break after it.

I thought maybe the closing tag had a line-break character ('
') after it, so i tried replacing it if it existed:

ActionScript Code:
text.split('
').join('');

but no success.

I have a feeling this might be an actual Flash flaw. Does anyone know?

Flash Strips Out Line Breaks When Sending Variable To Javascript
I'm trying to pass a string from a textarea component OR a normal input text box from within flash to a javascript variable on the page, and back again. I can pass back and forth no worries, but flash seems to remove all line breaks.

Check out my sample htm / fla / swf for an example.

How do I do this - both ways, preserviing as much of the formattin as possible? (Would prefer not to have to use rich text / html)

Flash Adds Extra Line Breaks In My Database Records
I have a Flash movie that pulls records from a MySQL table through PHP, and lists them in succession in a dynamic text field. Some entries are showing extra breaks between lines. Very annoying.

Any ideas?

Flash Putting Too Many Line-breaks In Dynamically-loaded Text...
Here's how it goes:
- User types into multiline textbox in HTML form
- Text gets inserted into MySQL db
- Text is retrieved via PHP and passed to Flash
- Flash displays it in a textbox

The thing is, there are always too many line-breaks. For example, where the user has typed one line-break, Flash inserts 2 or 3. So basically, there are huge spaces between lines/paragraphs.

When I print the text to HTML file via PHP, it looks fine.

Is there a step I'm missing?

External Text Files In Flash: Getting The Line Breaks To Display Properly (HELP)
Jackass linebreaks!
nightmare. does anyone know of a way to get Flash to read the line breaks in Windows text files as single line breaks, and not double line breaks? I know about Flash thinking that "
" is a double line break, so I need to figure out a way to get around that using the code I have:

Code:

var XMLfile = "article_setup.xml";
importXML = new XML();
importXML.varTarget = this;
importXML.ignoreWhite = true;
importXML.onLoad = function (success)
{
if (success)
{

var vt = this.varTarget;
var root = this.firstChild;
vt.articleObj = new Object();
allArticles = root.childNodes;
for(var i=0; i<allArticles.length; i++)
{
article = allArticles[i].childNodes;
vt.articleObj["article" + i] = new Object();
vt.articleObj["article" + i].articleName = article[0].firstChild;
vt.articleObj["article" + i].articlePath = article[1].firstChild;
}
var i;
for (i=0; i<allArticles.length; i++)
{
listBox.addItem(vt.articleObj["article" + i].articleName);
}
select.onPress = function()
{
var myVariable = new LoadVars();
myVariable.onLoad = function(success)
{
if (success)
{
addText(this.article);
}
else trace("Error loading content.");
}
myVariable.load(vt.articleObj["article" + listBox.getSelectedIndex()].articlePath);
}
}
else
{
trace("ERROR PARSING XML");
}
};

function addText(textContent)
{
pbox.htmlText = textContent;
}

importXML.load(XMLfile);

stop();

[F8] Line Breaks
Hello! This is my first ever post, and I have to say I am a total flash newbie. I would have posted this in the newbie section but I feel that it may be better answered by a 'coder'. I think!

I've built a website, i've kind of somehow got it to work (I'm not a website developer at all really, just a guy who like fiddling around and making things!)

here is the site: www.audio-freaks.com

I have two problems/questions.

1) In the contact page, I have created a way to auto-populate an email. It works ok & gets the job done. BUT when I tried it on a friends computer, it no longer worked right - it didn't recognise the line breaks. I have since discovered that on 'outlook' it works fine, and on 'outlook express' or mac 'mail' it has no line breaks. Please could somebody tell me a way to make it work regardless of system/email client. Basically the email body contains a string that contains line break symbols (i've tried

etc )

2) I've used the scrollplane component to make my scroll zones. It works fine, but looks really ugly! I've tried to get my head round skinning but just can't seem to get it to work. Could somebody please help me change the colour of those dull grey bars? Doesn't need to be flashy, just to darken them & make them more contrasty would be fine.

If anybody could help me with any of these I would be very grateful.

thanks

PHP To Txt Line Breaks?

Line Breaks With What? Really

"Thank you for showing an interest in...");

If not, what is a good substitute?

Line Breaks
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to count the number of line breaks so that if that number is greater than the number of lines a dynamic text field will display a scroll next and previous navigation will appear. Any help would be appreciated. I searched through the forums but didn't have any luck finding what I was looking for.

Line Breaks?
The goal = to have different formatted text all in the same text field.

I am inserting text into seperate columns in a XLS Excel spreadsheet. There are 5 columns and each column will have a different formatting to it (which will be applied with CSS later). I turn the XLS into XML with a converter. I then import the XML into flash. I assign each text (from each column) to it's own variable call (so I have 5 variables for each type of formatting).

I want each of the five text types to be it's own paragraph in one final text field in flash. I am attempting to add line breaks using the HTML tag . I have told the text box on stage to render text as HTML. Here is the Code I have written (see specifically the blue):

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------<initialize XML>--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------</initialize XML>-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<call XML>---------------------------------------------------------------------------\
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {

var BOLD12PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.BOLD12PT;
var NORM10PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.NORM10PT;
var BOLD12PTUNDERLINE = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.BOLD12PT1;
var RED10PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.RED10PT;
var ITALICIZED10PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.ITALICIZED10PT;

loadTxt = function() {
myTextField.text = BOLD12PT + " " + NORM10PT + " " + BOLD12PTUNDERLINE + " " + RED10PT + " " + ITALICIZED10PT;
}
loadTxt();
} else {
myTextField.text = "Error";
}
}
myXML.load("CSS_Testing.xml"); //XML Location
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------</call XML>--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
stop;

This is the output I get when I execute the SWF:

This text should be bold 12 pt This text should be default 10 pt. This text should be 12pt bold and underlined This text should be default red 10 pt This text should be italicized 10 pt.

I will worry about the CSS formatting next but why are my line breaks not working?

So I insert the info txt by using

Textfields And Line Breaks....
Im not sure if anyone can help me, but could possibly be something small...

Im building a Flash application, and Input textfields are used to pass text data to a mySQL database, im also using FPDF to convert the data from the mySQL database to a PDF form on the fly...

the main process is fine, but when the user enters text into the input fields (these are flash fields) and clicks the submit button the database appears fine with the submitted text with correct line breaks... but in the PDF all the line breaks are ignored? it's only fixed when i log into PHPmyAdmin and click "go" (i.e. save) on each record... i don't even have to modify the text data in the database but just save the database again as though i have edited something but really i haven't. Seems quite wierd?

the problem is whether it is a Database problem or a Flash problem?

I have no idea...

HTML In XML And Line Breaks
Hi all,

Have trawled various forums and tried every possible combination but cannot find a solution to my problem:
I have an XML file containing some simple HTML markup. The HTML contains both bold text and line breaks. Something like this:

Code:
<data>
<message>This is some boldtext and this is a linebreak
</message
</data>
I am putting this in a text field using:

Code:
textField.htmlText = xml.message
I cannot achieve both bold text and line breaks. I eiher get bold text and no line breaks or line breaks before and after the bold text.
I have tried converting to the text to a string, putting the HTML block into CDATA (that is, everything between the <message> tag). I have tried every possible combination using textField.condenseWhite, XML.prettyPrinting, ignoreWhitespace etc etc. I have tried putting the xml node straight into the textField, both with CDATA and no CDATA, no difference. I have used both E4X and "normal" xml parsing. I am not using embedded fonts but system fonts. I have put multiple tags in but they get ignored if I put CDATA around, if i remove the CDATA I get line breaks all over the place. No CDATA and prettyPrinting removes line breaks after the bold but also removes the "real" line breaks (the tag) as well.
I want to be able to have both bold text and line breaks where I want them.
I'm going crazy here, anyone has any suggestions? Do I have to write my own parser for this simple HTML text?
Thanks!

Wordwrap And Line Breaks?
so i have a createTextField, set wordwrap to true. great

unfortunately, on certain users it's not detecting the wordwrap very well and putting an extra space on the left margin for some words?

any workarounds or fixes for this?

Inserting Line Breaks In XML
Hi there,

I have an XML file linked to a Flash Movie, which picks up the relevant text from the XML and inserts it into one single static multiline text box within the movie. I would like to know how to insert a line break into the XML so that the text appears on a new line within the text box in the Flash movie.

Just putting the text on a new line within the XML causes two line breaks to appear in the Flash movie.

I'm wodering, therefore, if there is a line of code, or a tag I can use within the XML that let's Flash know to display the next piece of text on the next line.

Thanks for your help,

Dave

Line Breaks Problems...
Hi!

In a Flash Interface, users can write and send messages.

Even if they use "carriage returns" in their message like, for example:

"Hi!
How are you?
I feel fine.
Shall we have dinner tonight?
Hugs and kisses,
Jeff"

the message sent is on only one line like, for example:

"Hi!How are you?I feel fine.Shall we have dinner tonight?Hugs and kisses,Jeff"

Any solution platform and browser independent?

Thanks in advance for your tips!

PHP Deletes .swf Line Breaks
Hi all -

I have a designed a Flash based interface to send email via PHP.

I capture the variables in Flash using:

var my_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
my_lv.name=name_txt.text;
my_lv.message=message_txt.text;
// ...
// ...
my_lv.send("mail.php","POST");

My PHP reads:

<?php

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["from"] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["from"] . "
";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["from"];

$to = $_POST['to'];
$message=stripslashes($_POST['message']);
//NOTE: I tried $message without stripslashes - same results
$subject=stripslashes($_POST['subject']);
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

When the message is received all line breaks using RETURN/ENTER in Flash message .swf are deleted making the message one long line when viewed by the recipient. Is there something I need to write into my actionscript/php to allow the message to recognize these hard line breaks and display properly in the recipient's email client? I'm guessing (hoping!) it's an easy fix. BTW, the messages do display properly in 'some' clients and not others. I need some fix that will correct this across the board.

XML Mysterious Line Breaks
Hi everyone!

I'm new to flash and AS3, and have just figured out how to load an external XML document into a textField, which is then styled via an external CSS document. The styling works fine, colours change, font size changes etcâ€¦ But! And here's my problem, when the xml data is loaded into the textfield, where I have nested styles, it creates a line break.

I have created a textField on the stage with an instance name of: eventsContentTextField
Which is set to dynamic, scrolling (with a UIScrollBar component), html and multiline.
Any help is much appreciated as I am about to do something drastic!

Below is my actionScript:

Attach Code

eventsContentTextField.embedFonts = true;

var eventsCss:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var eventsCssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
eventsCssLoader.load(new URLRequest("eventsCss.css"));
eventsCssLoader.addEventListener(
Event.COMPLETE,
function(event:Event):void {
eventsCss.parseCSS(URLLoader(event.target).data);
eventsContentTextField.styleSheet = eventsCss;
}
);

var eventsXmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var eventsXml:XML;
eventsXmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onEventsXmlLoaded);

function onEventsXmlLoaded(e:Event):void
{
eventsXml = new XML(e.target.data);
trace(eventsXml);
eventsContentTextField.text = eventsXml;
}

eventsXmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("eventsContent.xml"));

Stupid Line Breaks
I am having troubles with my text files having an extra line break added to it.
I have found this thread,
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthre...le+line+breaks
But it didnt help.

The wierd thing is it works absolutely perfect on my server (Unix w/Apache) but not on the clients server ( Winblows )
Any one else find a solution other than condenseWhite=true? Because thats not working.

Josh

edit: found out there is a bug when uploading to a windows server. Just another reason to hate winblows
See attached for the solution I found.

Can a mod change the title to [Resolved] please :-)

AS2: Line Breaks In String
I have been making a string by adding textfield values together for example:

_global.String1 = _global.String1 + _root.textfield1;

This is fine and it adds but it puts a line break in for some reason - Is there any reason why it would be doing this and how to get around it?

Line Breaks In A String
Hi

I would like to know if theres a way to add line breaks in a string. Like if i have a text field with intance name text_txt, and then i will have a function that will tell that text_txt.text is equal to a big string, but i want to display it with line breaks. And one more thing , i dont want to use html code to format the text.

I appreciate any help

Thank you

Weird Line Breaks?
Ok..
goto http://www.jacksrambles.com/test and click on blog. This then loads information from my database. If you scroll through my blog entries you'll notice that after the first entry there is a huge line break and then the rest after the line break are spaced evenly as desired.
How do i get read of this annoying linebreak so that all the text is spaced evenly like the ones after the first entry.

Heres my PHP code:
Code:

<?PHP

$link = mysql_connect("#####","#####","#####");
mysql_select_db("jack777_site");

$query = 'SELECT * FROM news';
$results = mysql_query($query);

echo "<?xml version="1.0"?>
";
echo "<news>
";

while($line = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {
echo "<item>
";
echo "<date>" . $line["date"] . "</date>
";
echo "<title>" . $line["title"] . "</title>
";
echo "<entry>" . $line["entry"] . "</entry>
";
echo "</item>
";

}

echo "</news>
";

mysql_close($link);

?>

And heres my Actionscript:
Code:

#include "newsScroll.as"
var theXML:XML = new XML();
theXML.ignoreWhite = true;
news_txt.html = true;
theXML.onLoad = function() {
var itemNodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<itemNodes.length; i++) {
 var date = itemNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
 var title = itemNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
 var body = itemNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
 news_txt.htmlText += date+" "+title+body+" ";
}
};
theXML.load("http://www.jacksrambles.com/news.php");
