2 Problems: 1. EmbedFonts Makes Text Disappear, 2. Dynamic Text Vertical Position
I have the following code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this.createTextField ("imageText",2,95,0,390,96);
imageText.multiline = true;
imageText.wordWrap = true;
imageText.autoSize = true;
//imageText.embedFonts = true;
imageText.html = true;
imageText.htmlText = text; // variable loaded earlier in script....
imageText.selectable = true;
imageTextFormat = new TextFormat();
imageTextFormat.color = 0xCA9E1D;
imageTextFormat.size = 16;
imageTextFormat.font = "Sabon RomanSC";
imageText.setTextFormat(imageTextFormat);
//imageText.embedFonts = true;
trace(imageText.text);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem:
If I uncomment either of the imageText.embedFonts lines, my text will disappear... but the trace(imageText.text); will still return the correct contents. It's as though embedFonts causes the textField to disappear.
Possibly related, (but maybe not), is the fact that the vertical positioning of the font is off. Even though I create the textField at Y = 0, the text writes somewhere around Y = 10. I suspect this is something else, but I thought I'd add it just in case.
Any help with either (or both) problems would be fabulous. Thanks,
Drew

Vertical Dynamic Text
I'm trying to create a menu whose buttons are dynamically created, which sounds pretty simple, right???
...problem is that the text should be rotated 90 degrees, which seems to cause flash to ignore any text I try to send. If I remove the rotation everything is fine. Is there anyway of doing this?
Thanks

Dynamic Vertical Text
I have a dynamic text field that is rotated 90 degrees cw. When I preview the swf, the text will not render. I've tried numerous fonts to see if that would affect it.
When I change the text field to static, the text will render. If I keep it dynamic but have the text stay horizontal, the text renders. I've tried putting the text field in an mc and rotate the mc but still no love.
Anyone else run into this?
Vertical Dynamic Text (bug?)
Hi there,
I'm using FlashMX, just for the record :P
I created a dynamic text field and i type some text in it. Now when i rotate it (or skew) and i test my movie, my text is not shown anymore. With a trace() the correct value comes up.
I want to use a dynamic text field instead of a static, because i'm gonna fill it later on with a date.
Thnx in advance,

Vertical Align Text In Dynamic Text Area
Have just created my first database driven dynamic text box and it works
Just one problem...
One of the dynamic text areas is multi-line and try as I might I can't seem to find any way to set the vertical alignment of the text to 'middle' vertically...
i.e. if the text is only a couple of words, it aligns to the top of the textarea and I'd like it to align to the middle of the text area vertically.
Any ideas???
Thanks

Vertical Text Outside Dynamic Textbox
The best way to explain this problem is if you look at the screenshot.
This is with Arial font which is embedded, if I do not embed the font it will not show anything at all. All I am doing is with this text box I have the var field as gloss_body and in the action script on the same frame I am setting gloss_body to "This is the ..." (you can see this appearing in the vertical line of text). I have tried searching high and low on the web but no one seems to be having this particularly strange problem. This text box is attached to a scrollbar by the way.
Thanks,
Richard
EDIT: The text box extends all the way over to the left most blue line.

Dynamic Text And Vertical Flipping
Hi guys... I was wondering if you could help me... I have a flash file that loads variables from a text file.. now that works fine on one of my dynamic fields... and it works fine on both when I dont try and flip to second field vertically (I use it for a sort of mirror effect)

if you need anymore info please just ask cause this has been annoying me for the last few hours
Thanks alot

Please Help Vertical Overlaps Using Dynamic Text From Arrays
Hi flashers!
Problem A:
I am having a little problem I hope you flashers can help me solve.
I am loading information from an array into a containermovieclip that contains a textfield.
My problem is that the container movieclip doesnt resize according to the text that is set to autosize=true, which consequently means that everything overlap.
Problem B:
The reason why I even bothered to mess around with arrays is because I want an effect like this... Imagine menu links:
[A] [b] [C] [D] [E]
You click [D]
Then I want everything to reorder so [D] is replacing [A]
It would look like this
[D] [E] [A] [b] [C]
Like circlistic, and I figured arrays would be the best idea if I wanted to change orders around.
Anyways guys... Please help.
Look in the attachment for the code.
Please.

Vertical Align Middle Dynamic Text
I have a flash file, which uses flashvars to define an image and some text that appears after the image. Here's the ActionScript I'm currently using to draw this dynamic info:
Code:
this.createTextField("product_title", 1, -8, 41, 580, 74);
product_title.html = true;
product_title.wordWrap = true;
product_title.multiline = true;
product_title.selectable = false;
product_title.htmlText = themessage;
Here's the code for the flashvars:
Code:
<embed src="preview.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1024" height="717" name="preview" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="themessage=<img src='sample_logo.jpg' width='79' height='64'><b><font face='arial' size='25'>Some Text</font></b>"/>
<param name="flashvars" value="themessage=<img src='sample_logo.jpg' width='79' height='64'><b><font face='arial' size='25'>Some Text</font></b>" />
This works fine, however the text is drawn at the top, inline with the top of the image. I want the text to be centered vertically with the image. Any suggestions on how I might pull this off?
Thanks in advance!
Vertical Text In Dynamic Text Of A Symbol

When I have the text box in a horizontal orientation the text shows up in my animation but when I turn it into a vertical orientation my text does not show up. Unfortunately I need the symbols to have vertical text. Does anyone have any advice???
Help With Vertical Scrolling Dynamic Text That Can Be Seperate Clickable Links.
Can someone help me please?
I am wondering how to make a movie clip that contains automatic vertical scrolling dynamic text(from an external .txt file)
I dont want to press buttons to scroll text, I need it to be constantly scrolling, then loop once the text has been read from the external txt file.
I also require each line of the dynamic text to be clickable links that will take each line of text to a specific link.
Can anyone help me with this, I would be really grateful for any instructions?
Thanks

Ive uploaded a zip file containing fla and swf i found which shows vertical scrolling text. However if i move any of the graphics and text field clips around the stage the text cannot be seen anymore. why is this? can you put all of the items on the main stage in a movie clip so i can resize and move the scroller around the stage?? I tried this but again the text disapeared when i exported the movie? Is this due to the x + y co ordinates in the scripting?
How can you adjust the size of this scroller without this happening?
Can the scrolling text be taken from an external file and each line of text be a seperate hyperlink?

Dynamic Vertical Menu
Hi to everyone!
I'm trying to build a dynamic menu, maybe it's not so difficult, but I'm lost!!!!
it should be something like this:
A
B
C
Ok, easy. The thing is that the menu subitems come from a xml document build from some db queries. What I would like to do is that depending of the results of the queries, the menu show the sub items like this:
A
a1
a2
a3
B
C
with some animation, but the problem is the movement of the main items, because it must depend of the number of submenu items... anybody has an idea or know any tutorial???
Thank you very much!
Vertical Alignment Of Dynamic Tect
Is it possible to center vertically dynamic text in a text box. I couldn't find a way of doing this, but I may well be missing something obvious!
Vertical Alignment In Dynamic Textbox
Dear flashkit members. hope you are all well. Wonder if you could help me please. Using FlashMX by the way.
I am very pleased after successfully creating my first dynamic text box that imports text from database using external ASP page. Its a listing of about 10 lines (all separate records in the db) with a repeat region applied in the asp page. This works beautifully.
The annoying problem I have is that the box seems to be aligning the text in the centre of the box vertically - I cant seem to get it to run from the top of the box. If I remove the repeat region its OK and aligns from the top of the box.
Can anyone help me here please? Can I fix this?
Many many thanks in advance.

Vertical Dynamic Textbox (japanese)
Ok, so this may not be a newbie question and I should go ask another forum... or maybe there is a really simple answer and I've completely overlooked it. Anyway...
I need to to set up a dynamic text field that displays multiple lines of vertical text, ie. displaying from top to bottom, right to left.
Eg, read the input string
ABC
DEFG
and display:
DA
EB
FC
G
My MX2004 "Help" panel lauds itself on being able to display static text vertically, and being able to dynamically update text... but doesnt offer any help on how to create a vertical dynamic textbox. (I guess there are not enough Japanese users of Flash yet?!)
Solution?
I have thought about writing code to
1) read the string, work out where the carriage returns are.
2) use a series of FOR loops and UNTIL statements, counting the individual characters and creating a new string
3) display the new string horizontally, but the output appears to be verticle.
Problems discovered in early testing were A) because the width of characters varies, the lines of text dont appear to straight. (in the example above, the B appears closer to the E than the A or C do to their neighbors.) and B) Japanese characters follow different rules when they are written vertically... eg a "-" hyphen should become a "l" when displayed vertically.
There has to be a really simple, "newbie" answer to this. HELP?!

[CS3] Dynamic Vertical Scroll Bar - XML Driven MovieClip

The thing is about the, lets call it, dragAmount function. How do I define it to scroll the dynamic movieclip according to its y size?
Can anyone help me?
