Width Of Dynamicaly Created Textbox
OK, I'm making a dynamicaly created menu for navigation. I have links comming in from a PHP script. They are loaded into a matrix or whatever and are placed on the scene. What I really need to do is distribute them over some space, but I have to know their width first. Because I call the createTextField method with width and height parameters I can only retreive them, but not the real width of my textbox. I even tryed creating them in the movieclip and retreiving a width of a movie clip but nothing. Take a look at a code:
Quote:
stop();
var menu = ["home", "profil", "users", "reservations", "catering"];
menuFormat = new TextFormat();
menuFormat.color = 0x000000;
menuFormat.font = "Arial CE";
menuFormat.size = 20;
for (i=0; i<menu.length; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.InsText, "MCmenu"+i, i);
}
//
for (i=0; i<menu.length; i++) {
_root["MCmenu"+i].createTextField("txt", 1, 100*i, 10,100,100);
_root["MCmenu"+i].txt.type = "static";
_root["MCmenu"+i].txt.selectable = false;
_root["MCmenu"+i].txt.text = menu[i];
_root["MCmenu"+i].txt.setTextFormat(menuFormat);
}
trace(_root.MCmenu1._width); // this line returns 100 and I want it to return the real width of my textbox.
If anyone know how to do this, please help.
Many thanks in advance.

Dynamic Textbox Width - Positioning Movie Clip
Hi,
I have a dynamic text box which will display text of varying lengths. To the right of this I have a movie clip. I want to be able to set the x position of the movie clip as the x position where the text ends.
I assumed this would be easy:
_root.mc._x = _root.textBox._x + _root.textBox._width
The movie does move when I use this code but it doesn't move to the end of the text it positions itself within the bounds of the text box.
It looks like it is something to do with the textBox._width property but I am not sure what. Can anyone point me towards how to get the x position of the end of a text box? and also what exactly the textBox._width does.
Many Thanks

Set Width Of A ComboBox Component Without Changing Width Of Arrow
Hi,
With actionscript I have put a few ComboBoxes on the stage and than tryed to change the width with:
setProperty(_root.container[ComboBoxName],_width,150);
It works, However the arrow-part in the combobox expands also. I don't want it to expand.
I want it to behave like when a put a combobox on the stage myself and adjust the width of it in the properties window.
In this case only the text-part expands... the size of the arrow doesn't change!
How can I do this?
Internal Clip Width Bigger Than Movie Width?
i have a movie that is 750 pixels wide. i have a movieclip inside this main movie called "menuBack" that is just a bit less wide than the main movie. this movieclip has several other clips inside of it. i set a variable on a keyframe in my main movie getting the width property of "menuback". of course i expected it to be just a bit less wide than my main movie, maybe 720 pixels wide. when i test the movie and then check debug/list variables, it say it is 1095 pixels wide...how is this possible?

align="center" does not help...
thanks in advance
Dynamic Background Width/static Foreground Width?
I am trying to make a site with elements that resize dynamically depending on the browser width, but have the foreground element stay the same size all the time?
The first part is easy to do. If I set the height and width of the Flash file in the HTML to 100%, when the browser is resized, the Flash will also resize.
But I can't figure out the second part.
An example of what I'm trying to do is at Rilo Kiley's website
Another example is gskinner.com
No matter what your browser size, the background scales and the foreground is always the same width and height.
I am using Flash MX 2004.

Urgent Help Horizontal Xml Menu Width Needs To Be Text Width
Please could someone help me with the following. I have been through this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/act...opdown_menu.htm of the xml drop down menu. Made some adjustments with help from other posts to make it horizontal.

Changing Width Of Sprite Changes Text Width
G'day everyone
I am currently creating an object called MyTextField (which extends Sprite) and then I set the width of this instance to a value.
The sprite class has several TextFields within it.
The problem i am having is that when I change the width it affects the size of the text as well. Too large and the text looks stretched, too small and the opposite happens.
What I want to know is, is there a way I can set the width of MyTextField without it affecting the size of the text.
This is the code i'm using for my textfields
Code:
var label:TextField = new TextField();
label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.multiline = true;
label.background = false;
label.border = false;
label.wordWrap = true;
label.embedFonts = true;
label.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;
label.selectable = false;
label.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
label.defaultTextFormat = this["format_" + label_type];
label.addChild(label);
label.htmlText = info;
and the format is here
Code:
this.format_heading = new TextFormat();
this.format_heading.font = "Verdana";
this.format_heading.color = 0x000000;
this.format_heading.size = 10;
this.format_heading.bold = false;
this.format_body = new TextFormat();
this.format_body.font = "Verdana";
this.format_body.color = 0xff0000;
this.format_body.size = 10;
this.format_body.bold = false;
Any help would be super

TextBox._height Textbox Size?
Maybe someone can help -
How can I change the height of TextBox_size (MC). Is everything controlled by the movie size?
I put the scrollbarDynamic7.fla at http://www.bitweb.com/test for reference
TextBox._height = TextBox_Height;
function springAction () {
scrollpos = -scroll._y;
ratio = (content._height - TextBox_Height) /(TextBox_Height - scroll._height);
NewPos = Number((scrollpos*ratio));
difY = newPos - content._y;
addY = difY / 5;
overshootY = overshootY + addY;
content._y = content._y + overshootY + addY;
}
function easeOut () {
scrollpos = -scroll._y;
ratio = (content._height - TextBox_Height) /(TextBox_Height - scroll._height);
NewPos = Number((scrollpos*ratio));
difY = newPos - content._y;
content._y = content._y + difY / 3;
}

Movieclip Width The Width Of The Text Within
Hi all:
I have a movieclip called mcButton which contains a dynamic text field. I have an array with several words/pieces of text and a timer object loading instances of the movieclip with the content from the array. The issue is that the width of the movieclip is a fixed width-- is there a way to make the width of the movieclip the same as the width of the text within? The code is as follows (and excuse the beginner-ness...):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
var mcCompanyBtn:mcButton = new mcButton();
var mcWorkBtn:mcButton = new mcButton();
var mcReachBtn:mcButton = new mcButton();
var mcLoginBtn:mcButton = new mcButton();
var counter:int;
var buttonArray:Array = new Array(mcCompanyBtn, mcWorkBtn, mcReachBtn, mcLoginBtn);
var textArray:Array = new Array("Company", "Work", "Reach Us", "Client Login");
var urlArray:Array = new Array("about.php", "contact.php", "news.php", "services.php", "work.php", "index.php");
loadBtns();
function loadBtns() {
//Timer class that calls function to add buttons to stage
var loadBtnTimer:Timer = new Timer(500, buttonArray.length); // 1 second
loadBtnTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addButtons);
loadBtnTimer.start();
//Timer loop that runs through buttonArray and adds elements to state
function addButtons(event:TimerEvent):void {
counter = event.target.currentCount - 1;
addChild(buttonArray[counter]);
if ( counter == 0 ) {
buttonArray[counter].x = 0;
}
else if (counter > 0) {
buttonArray[counter].x = buttonArray[counter - 1].x + buttonArray[counter].width - 60 ;
}
buttonArray[counter].btnContent.text = textArray[counter];
buttonArray[counter].btnContent.setTextFormat(format1);
}
Thanks for any help!
Preloader.width = Stage.width
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a full flash site, and i'd like to make a loaderbar scaling over the stage.width. So it starts at 0% and when everything is loaded, i want the bar to be as wide as the user's window.
Works fine, but as you can see on my example, it never really touches the right edge of the screen..
http://www.dpbc.be/fullflash
I used this code to place the bar:
Code:
loader._x = 0;
loader._y = Stage.height / 2;
loader._width = 0;
and this is my preloading code:
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loader._width = getPercent * Stage.width;
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
(on frame 2 i have a gotoAndPlay(1)).
Thank you VERY much!

Textbox Changes To Input Textbox.
Here my code is working inside a for loop which checks inside the XML files and retireves the content...I am not writing the loop here......because there is lots of code inbetween so you don't get the correct idea.
var textmessage = importXMLtemplate.firstChild.childNodes[j].attributes.message;//message contains the text
var TextBoxName = "TextBox" + j;
template_mc.createTextField(TextBoxName, 10, 100, 100, 165, 30);
template_mc[TextBoxName].styleSheet = myCSS;//stylesheet I called above not writing here.
template_mc[TextBoxName].html = true;
template_mc[TextBoxName].multiline = true;
template_mc[TextBoxName].htmlText = textmessage;
template_mc[TextBoxName].type = "input";
Here the message is showing inside the textbos properly loading form XML. The only problem is that the textbox is not changing to input text box.
I want to change the text box to input text box and change the value inside the text box
please help...

Resize Scroller To Stage.width, Need To Get The Stage.width Value
hey all. I'm battling this problem and have finally caved for help. I can't seem to get the mask_mc._width to return the acurate value. at a fixed stage size the scroller seems to work fine, but changing the mask_mc.width to a variable set to Stage.width doesn't. I know the Stage.width property is read only, but does that mean i cant get a value from it. Anything i am missing? suggestions? I suppose this would be similar to resizing a scrollbar to full height. Thanks ahead of time.
mask_mc._width = Stage.width;
stageListener = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = function() {
mask_mc._width = Stage.width;
}
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
