Why Does My Text Get Blury? :(
Hello!
I have a small problem on my site.
It seems like at some places in my flashsite the text becomes blury and I no idea why. I have checked so that all the text fields values are XX.0 not XX.2 or something..
Also my menu at the bottom have the same problem not sharp either..
The textfields are always sharp at the top, but a few lines down it gets blury.. Look at the picture:

Tweened Blury Text
The text in my movie is with the tweened typewriter effect (it's the only way I know to control the speed of the text and keep the rest of the movie's animations work normal with the same frame rate - the actionscript typewriter is too slow and I have to switch the frame rate of the entire movie high and the rest of the animations work too fast!).

Here's my typewriter effect's example here: intro.fla

Now I find this effect to be excellent but there's just one problem: The text appears blury! I wonder if there's a way to change it to normal but to keep the typewriter effect going normally?

Blury Pixel Text
I hate to be the one complaining about the blury pixel font issue - AGAIN. But some parts of the text goes blury when converted into a MC. The alignment is OK, both in the MC and on the main movie, so there should be no problem. Ideas anyone?

Blury Center Aligned Text
Hey, another day another issue...

I am having a problem with center aligned dynamic text (externaly loaded, css formatted, pixel fonts, embeded)

I am using pixel font. I think the problem is not with the font. When I place the text box on the stage and manualy align it center - text is not blury.

But since text is loaded from html and it is css formatted I have to center align it in my css file.

AND THAN SOME LINES SHOWS BLURY!!

Blury Text Caused By Invisible Clips?
Hello,
I made this simple flash card activity by calling the card_key instance (the index card flattens), calls the card instance of the clicked term by a function and makes is visible, and then plays the rest of the card_key to simulate the card coming back to the index.

The problem is that I'm getting a blur effect on some of my cards. Please d/l the fla linked below and when you test the fla click on "defendent" or "original jurisdiction" and look at the second line of text. There is a slight blur effect and I can't pinpoint why. It appears to be in the same area where I have all my card clips sitting, but they are supposed to be invisible until called.

The cards look ok if you pull them up in illustrator, or even in the fla. Any ideas on this one?

Blury Fonts
Hi, Im kinda new here, so go easy

I downloaded some new "clear" fonts for flash (FFF )
And noticed that the fonts show up fuzzy when I view the completed project.

Is there a checkbox that I am missing somewhere?

P.S. I noticed that Flash does this to imported photos also... Can I disable the auto-smoothing effect?

Blury Site Problem
I just launched www.animationmentor.com and have had reports from people using firefox that the site is blurry, see this image of the site using internet explorer right and firefox left

http://www.flashkit.com/board/attach...postid=3220132

I think tat firefox is resizing the entire flash movie by a few pixels causing the fonts and buttons to be out of place, hence the bluriness, I know 100% that this is nothing to do with the actual fonts being setup wrong, this is the browser resizing the movie, can anyone help with why this would happen or anyone had problems like this before?

Loaded Text File Wont Show All Of The Text In Dynamic Text Field
When I load an external text file into flash and display the string in a dynamic text box, not all of the text will show in the text box; and using scroll button to scroll the text doesnt help.

The text that is in the text file is as follows, and as far as I can see there is no reason why all this text shouldnt show in the dynamic text field; by the way all my targets are correct, I know that for fact.

Is It Possible To Change A Text Field From Dynamic Text To Static Text At Runtime?
The reason is because the dynamic text appears to be taking up about 90 % of the CPU usuage and I dont know any other way to reduce the CPU usage.

The text areas pull in lots of data from text files which slows down the program.

Any ideas?

Trasfering Text From One Dynamic Text Box To A Input Text Box On A Differnt Page?
Ok so I have a text box set up which receives the date on a callendar which you click on. On another page (a seperate html file) I have an input text box for receiveing this text.

I've been trying to do this using various methods using getURL, but, I can't get it to work. This is becoming tedious especially as I'm not able to test it without having to reupload the files.

If someone could please inform me on how I should do this I'd be vary greatful.

If you need any further information I'll reply as soon as possible.

Help With Text Fields And Inputting Text From External Text Files
help with text files and paths

i need some help with input text field and text files.

i have a 'presentation' movie that has three buttons. these buttons influence a sliding menu that has three sections to it. the sliding menu is a movie clip made up of 3 separate graphic elements and is placed on the main stage. the code on the movie clip is:

onClipEvent (load) {
var a = 5;
var d = 3;
var newX = _x;
var oXPos = _x;
var myXspeed = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myXspeed = ((_x-newX)/a+myXspeed)/d;
_x -= myXspeed;
}

and the code on the frame action is:

fscommand ("allowscale", false);
var xPositions = new Array(0, 205, -190, -580);
function jumpTo (number) {
slider.newX = xPositions[number];
}
stop ();

i now want to be able to have an input text field on each separate element of the sliding menu that pulls text from 3 sepaprate external text files and i can't get it to work. i'm ok if i put the text field on the main stage and can pull the info in from a text file using

loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);

placed on a frame action. how do i adapt this so that it works for a text field put on the sliding menu. and how do i work it if i have three separate text files and three different text fields? i'm not very good at understand the paths needed to reach certain elements within a movie and where to put these actions.

should the load variable be on a frame actions or on a button action and whats the path to my input text field???

any help appreciated - as its driving me mad.

thanks

TEXT CHANGING, When I Copy And Paste Text Scroller, And Add New Text......?
here's the problem:

I have a text scroller I took from a fla. file on here.
on my site, I wanted to just change the text. in the text scroller, and
place it in diffrent sections of my site a number of times with diffrent text.

I do not have a problem, copying and pasting the scroller.
But when I change the text from one section, to the next, it will make all the text the same.

If I copy the scroller and paste it somewhere else, swap the text it will change all to that last text I entered.

I tried, typing one section's text. Then copy/pasting the scroller, and putting new text, and converting that text to a symbol (graphic). Hoping it would work but had no LUCK.

This is huge and i need help, considering I am a newbie, there has got to be away this can be accomplished so I dont have to build seperate text holders/scroller, for all 15 sections of my site.

Let me know..and thank you all so much.

Load Text From A Text File Into A Dynamic Text Field
I'm trying to load text from a text file into a dynamic text field. The text field is on the "blog" page of the website. When I test my movie, the first time I go to the blog page, the text from the external text file (AND the CSS styles) show up fine. But when I click from the blog page to go to the "profit calculator" or "contact" pages and THEN click to go BACK to the blog page, the blog page animates back in, and right as the animation ends, the text on the blog page suddenly disappears and won't come back. PLEASE help me figure this out!

Dynamic Text Box / Xml Content - Text Is Too Close To Border Of Text Box
Hi,

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document.

The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/home/ccz...AndDrop3.1.swf

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/home/ccz...AndDrop3.1.fla
(you also need the xml doc at : http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/home/ccz...scriptions.xml )

The code which formats the text boxes is:

with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;
backgroundColor = "0xe2e2e2";
setTextFormat(myFormat);
autoSize = "center";
border = true;
borderColor = "0x666699";
}

my text formatting looks like this, and you can see that I have tried to use leftMargin / rightMargin but these properties don't seem to work:

var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Tahoma", 12);
myFormat.leftMargin = 20;
myFormat.rightMargin = 20;
myFormat.bold = true;

Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks

Getting A Dynamic Text Box's Text From HTML-formatted Text?
Hey! You recognize me yet? I've got (hopefully) one last question for a while. Could somebody please tell me how do to get the text value of a text box with text that's formatted as HTML? ( it was formatted similar to "textBox.htmlText = "...";")

I tried "myVariable = textBox.htmlText", but it just gave me the formatting garbage it's using (<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>) without the actual text that my users see. I also tried "myVariable = textBox.text;", but it returned a blank variable.

Many thanks, me Flash bruthas

Loading Ext. Text Into Scrolling Text Box. Problem With Text? Help Please?
Hi,

I am hoping someone can help me. I am loading an external text file into a scrolling text box. I was able to get my box and buttons, scroll bar, etc to work correctly. However, I am having two other problems that I cannot figure out.

1) My text file that I am loading is several lines long (320 or so), however, when I test my movie only the first 20 lines of the text shows up. How can I make all of my text show up? I will be adding to this text file over time and adding updates to it. So the text will gradually have more lines added over time.

2) The 20 lines of text that is showing up is all double-spaced, while the text in my text file is single spaced. How do I make my text show up single spaced? I checked the paragraph settings of my text box and everything is set to zero. What can I do fix this?

I am using Flash 5.0 and I created my text in Metapad.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

Trying To Pass Text From Form Text Field To A Flash Dynamic Text Field
Hi, I was hoping someone might enlighten me as to how/if I can do this...

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:

Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

Your help/advice would be greatly appreciated,

-Scott

Duplicating Text In One Text Input Box To Another Text Box
I have 3 text input boxes in one scene.
I want the user to type his name into the first box. When a button is clicked the user's name goes into the second box.
A new user comes along, and types his name into the first box. After clicking the button, the new user's name is moved to the 2nd box, while the name that was in the second box, moves into a third box.
I can get the first action to occur (user's name into 2nd box after clicking button) but I can't get the 2nd name to move into the third box.
It is just making me crazy. Any ideas are much appreciated!!

Dynamic Text Box Jumping To A Section Of Text File Based On Date Stamp
I am VERY new to Flash MX (version 6) and need some help.

I want to build a text file with different messages that are listed/identified by a date stamp, and then have a flash program to display these messages based on whatever the current date is.

Is this possible? How do I build the text file? Do I need separate text files for each message? What ActionScript code do I use to identify the current date, and then display the appropriate message with the current date.

Any help, tutorial or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

External Text; Html Text And Embedding Fonts Question - Probably A Quick Solution
I've been reading every post on this that I can find, and so far, I have not stumbled on the solution.

I have a dynamic text box and a text box variable. I load an external text file into the variable and then load the variable into the dynamic text box. The file that gets loaded changes via different buttons pressed. That's working just fine.

The "real" problem is the double line breaks you get when loading in external text. The only way I have found, so far, to solve that is to set the text box to use htmlText and then use the myText.condenseWhite = true; function. That works also. BUT, when set to render text as html, I can no longer embed the fonts. If I try to embed the fonts, the text no longer appears. If the fonts are not embedded, they look bad.

Is there a simple, or not so simple solution? I need very clean looking text that does not have double spaces between lines. Here is a bit of the simple code I'm using. This is attached to a button.

Code:
on (press) {
Spec_txt.autoSize = "left";
Spec_txt.border = true;
Spec_txt.multiline = true;
Spec_txt.wordWrap = false;
Spec_txt.html = true;
Spec_txt.condenseWhite = true;
//Spec_txt.embedFonts = true;

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
Spec_txt.htmlText = this.content;
};
myData.load("parafix.txt");

}

I've had to comment out the embedFonts attribute. When it is enabled, the text does not show.

Thanks for the help.

Changing Font And Size Of Text Added To Dynamically Created Text Fields
Whew.. That long-winded subject line pretty much covers it.

Link

In the galleries, I have text I am adding to a movieClip. I have been able to add the description text, change it's colour, but the font and size are not responding. I'm using FlashMX2004. Can anyone show me what I'm doing wrong? Here's the pertinent code:

_parent.Gallery.createTextField(["Txt_" + CVar], _parent.LevelCount + 1000, 175, _parent.EntryY, 325, 110);
_parent.Gallery["Txt_" + CVar].font = "Arial";
_parent.Gallery["Txt_" + CVar].text = _parent.Description[AVar];
_parent.Gallery["Txt_" + CVar].textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
_parent.Gallery["Txt_" + CVar].textSize = 25;

Thanks so much!
