Jsp Variables In A Flash Text Area
Hi Again,
In the webpages I work with, we have areas that are governed by variables that look like this:
<%bob text goes here%>
As the page is parsed, the variable is of course replaced by the chosen html content. If I place a variable of this sort into a flash text area that is set for html content, will this also change the content to the kind specified by the variable, or will flash get in the way of this?

Flash 8 - Text Area Component Selecting Text
Essentially I have a single instance of a text area (populated via XML) that updates based on whichever button (1 thru 6) is pressed. The prob:
On intial load you can scroll the text and it behaves normal. I press a button, the text updates, but when I scroll again the component auto selects all of the text within.
prob#2:
In another section of my app I reuse templated slides that populate a text area component with XML text - if I select/highlight the text on slide 1, click next/forward, reuse the template slide but parse a new XML into it, it displays new content but the same area that was previously selected is selected/highlighted on the new slide.
Any thoughts - is this a bug?
Thanks

Flash Text Area Editor Bug
Hi
I have this text area editor in one of my flash movies and I have this problem that when applying text format changes the changes don't get saved unless I do something like type and delete a character from the screen than save. than the format changes are saved, but only after doing and than undoing that something on the text area. It is really annoying,
I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of something like this happening or knows what the problem is. maybe help me find the bug in the code
the text area is A.S 1.0 and flash player 6.
this is the code for the text area.
thanks in advance.
Code:
#initclip 4
function TextEditClass()
{
this.init();
} // End of the function
var t = TextEditClass.prototype = new MovieClip();
t.butMCs = {bold: "but1", italic: "but2", underline: "but3", align: ["but4", "but5", "but6"], leading: "but7", bullet: "but8", indent: ["but9", "but10"], url: "but11", color: "but12"};

Transparent Flash Text Hit Area
I'm building a flash menu with transparency, and I convert the text areas to buttons, and when I try to define the Hit area for the link, the only text area that activates the link is the actual text. No spaces between the letters. I want to define a box around the text, but I still want the box to be transparent so the background shows through.
Please help.

Parsing URLs In Flash (in A Text Area)
A simple question, probably with a complex answer! I hope someone can help.
I've written a basic chat client in Flash, and it's working well - the only problem is that URLs displayed in the textarea aren't clickable. I didn't expect them to be, but I can't figure out how to make them parse.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction?

Text Area Of Animated Flash Button Not Being Recognised
Hi there,
Hoping someone can help.
I'm creating an animated flash button using a movie clip as the "over" state, and graphic symbols for the other states. The button includes some text in all states.
When I publish the button, mostly everything is OK (the movie clip activates on rollover) but the movie clip doesn't activate when rolling over the "text" area of the button.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem - I want to make sure that the whole button area can activate the rollover movie?
Thanks for your help.

Large Text Area Slowing Down Flash Movie
Okay, so I've been doing some searches on this and I've come across several ideas on what the problem is, however none of them have been helpful. I have a clip which contains a large body of text that is masked. The masking moves fine (it's animated), but when I bring in an external swf file that contains some image transitions into the movie clip, the swf plays slower than normal. I started checking my code, but noticed that it's the amount of text in the clip that's slowing down my movie. I've tried both static and dynamic text and it has the same affect. The only way I've been able to keep the swf playing at it's correct speed is to use a system font or save out the text field as a gif. The problem I have with that is that I'm using a super-pixel font and so the gif looks terrible when brought back in. Does anyone know of any other way around this? I know that Flash sometimes suffers during playback when there's a lot of text on the stage. How do you guys usually get around this or handle this issue and what tips can you give me to solve this problem? Thanks.

Return Variables From Php To Load In Flash Text Variables
Im having an issue using the kirupa flash login. I already have the actual login working with php and mysql but i need to change it up a little bit and i don't know enough about php to write it myself. But here's the situation.
Flash login is a basic script, I've already modified this part and it works great
What I need to know is how to modify it so when a user logs in, php captures the $_POST and returns the alternate variable fields that consist of ("co","fname","lname","cph","email") within the ID for user and pass
also i have already made a common loadMovie to load random variables i just need the php to point to the movie

How To Format External Text File To Show In Three Separate Columns Through Text Area?
Hullo everyone!
Could anyone suggest a piece of advice to visualize the following idea?
I should like to import an external .txt file into flash and display it by means of a text area component, which would take the better part of the screen and be skinned to fit the rest of the page design. The text ought to be formatted by way of an external .css file. Images are optional.
I can do all this allright, but what I should like to have is the text formatted to be displayed in three separate columns. The idea for this naturally comes from the Flash version of the Macromedia Edge newsletter.
I should be most thankful if anyone cared to come up with a solution.

Embedding Fonts Into HTML Enabled Text Area Component Results In No Text Appearing
I've tried this on both Flash's own text area component and Ghostwire's and have had exactly the same result with both.
Basically, I'm using the text area component to load in an HTML document. The component is supposed to display the Tahoma font but it isn't on all computers as Times might show up. So I went ahead and decided to embed the font. Doesn't matter if I place a dynamic text field off the stage and then select the embed fonts option or make a Font Symbol for Tahoma. If I tell the text area to embed fonts I then render out the .swf and the text disappears. Turn off HTML formatting and the text then appears but the formatting of course, is completely lost. Anyone got an idea of a real fix for this? Or at least an explanation?

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???

styleObj.setStyle("fontFamily", "space cowboy.");
styleObj.setStyle("fontSize", 20);
styleObj.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");

Text Area Movie Clip W/ Input Text
I am using actionscript to edit text areas using the variable text and then typing out what you want it to say, along with the variable title. This changes depending on how the navigation is set up because the buttons guide everything by telling the text area what frame number to go to, hence leading to what text is displayed.
My question is, lets say you want one of the areas to be input text instead of displayed text, basically to have a contact area to be set up for the user to enter in email, comments etc. Or maybe a guestbook of some sort, integrated into the site with PHP. I understand how PHP works with Flash and how to set it up with input text, but what I don't understand is how to set up the text area, based on how I have it now, to have input text in the text area movie clip?
Do I need to create another text area MC for input text? Do I add a frame at the end and tell it to go there when the button is pressed? I tried both those ways, and when I tried the latter...The movie would reload itself instead of just go to another frame when you leave the area I delegated for the "input" area.
So, if someone could help me out with that I would be grateful and your time and effort would be much appreciated. I have attached a small example of what I am talking about via .fla file so you can dissect it.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you

Antialias Type For Text In Text Area Component?
Can I set the anti alias type for text in a text area component? I have the components on the stage with the appropriate instance names related to those in the code. This code is what I have so far but I cant figure out a way to change the anti alias type for the text entered in the text area control:
Code:
var pformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(new TrebuchetMS().fontName);
//var pformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
pformat.font = "Trebuchet MS";
pformat.size = 12;
name_txt.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
email_txt.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
message_txt.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
//message_txt.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
name_txt.setStyle("textFormat", pformat); //text input
email_txt.setStyle("textFormat", pformat); //text input
message_txt.setStyle("textFormat", pformat); //text area

How To Justify Externally Inserted Text In A Text Area?
Hello all,
This problem causes hours of search. How can I justify a text that I externally inserted inside the stage with scrollbar in a text area. There is no problem when the text is short, then I can arrange sentence by sentence, but when the text is so long then it is just annoying to justify word by word. So I use HTML text with CSS, I want to justify pages of text like it is easily done by MS Word. I just want to build my HTML and CSS then I want to insert this to a part of the stage with scrollbar to use the stage more attractive and I noticed that if I use long text in my design time in Flash then the project gets slower when I work on it before publishing.

http://www.goslinganimation.com/wall/test2_b.swf
Now I want the same thing but using a dynamic text box instead.
This is the code I have used
Code:
var fontType = "font1";
messageBox.text = "This is a message test. Blah blah blah";
// define the font styles
var styleObj = new mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration();
styleObj.styleName = "styleOne";
_global.styles.styleOne = styleObj;
styleObj.setStyle("fontFamily", "space cowboy.");
styleObj.setStyle("fontSize", 20);
styleObj.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
styleObj.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
var styleObj = new mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration();
styleObj.styleName = "styleTwo";
_global.styles.styleTwo = styleObj;
styleObj.setStyle("fontFamily", "Jennifer's Hand Writing");
styleObj.setStyle("fontSize", 16);
styleObj.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
styleObj.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
var styleObj = new mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration();
styleObj.styleName = "styleThree";
_global.styles.styleThree = styleObj;
styleObj.setStyle("fontFamily", "delarge marker pen");
styleObj.setStyle("fontSize", 15);
styleObj.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
styleObj.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
//------------------------------------------------
if (fontType == "font1") {
messageBox.setStyle("styleName", "styleOne");
} else if (fontType == "font2") {
messageBox.setStyle("styleName", "styleTwo");
} else {
messageBox.setStyle("styleName", "styleThree");
}
any ideas?

How Do You Format Text In A Text Area Component?
I'm looking for an easy way to create a scrollable block of text without getting into all the action script (I think I'm allergic to scripting and programming of all kinds, I just like to make stuff look cool, which I'm good at). I tried using a text area component, which seems to work fine, but is the only way to get the text into the area is to open the component inspector and paste the text into the parameter text field? Then also, how do you format the text once it's in? Thanks...

I've tried..(inside the onClipLoad event of the text area)
this.text._alpha = 30;
this.setStyle("alpha", "30");

Scrolling Text Area Tip
Hey people,
I've posted a question or two regarding scrolling text areas, and I've seen a few others post here, so I thought I'd share a really simple method to get a continously (on rollover) scrolling text area that I just figured out. If people wanna point out some poor scripting or potential flaws, that would be great. It's a basic guide, very easy to figure out.
First:
1. New movie, make a dynamic text box, set the variable to loadtext.
2. Make a textfile, with loadtext= typeyourtexthere. Save as gatorage.txt for this example.
3. Make a new layer, label it actions, put in a loadVariables ("gatorage.txt", "");. That should load your external txt file into the dynamic text box.
4. Make two buttons, an UP and DOWN arrow. Keep them separate and make these movie clips. This should automatically put the buttons you've created into the movieclips.
5. Select the down movieCLIP and double click, and select the down arrow BUTTON. Add this script:
on (rollOver) {
../:loadtext.scroll = ../:loadtext.scroll+1;
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
6. Add a keyframe on frame 2 within the down movieCLIP, select the down BUTTON once again and change gotoAndPlay (1);
::: This creates the "illusion" of continual scrolling on rollover, by making a simple loop. You need to put ../: before the loadtext.scroll so that Flash looks to the level below where the dynamic text box is located. This script must be on the buttons, not the frames.
7. Now, go back to your original movie and do exactly the same as steps 5 and 6 for the UP movieCLIP, except change the loadtext.scroll+1 to loadtext.scroll-1 on the UP arrow BUTTON and remember the keyframes gotoAndPlay (1) changes!
Easy??
If people are having problems, I'll repost a bit more clearly, fingers crossed I haven't forgotten anything (that's reassuring isn't it?)
Keep flashing!

Text Area Pages
ok...first of all, I was just wondering how you get a text area on Flash MX with text in the box. Flash MX has a "ScrollPane" and a "ListBox" which looks familiar to what im looking for. The HTML code is <textarea rows="3" cols="40"></textarea>. Also, with that, I was wondering how you can get numerous pages. Ex. You have a button at the bottom. When you click that button, you get new text in that box. Thanks!

Text Area Component
Hello, I am using the following code in the first frame of my text area component:
text_area_01.color = 0x666666;
text_area_01.embedFonts = "FFF Harmony";
text_area_01.fontFamily = "FFF Harmony";
text_area_01.fontSize = 8;
text_area_01.fontStyle = "normal";
text_area_01.textAlign = "right";
text_area_01.depthChild0._alpha = 0;
I notice that things like an apostrophe don't show up...any ideas on how I can fix this using the font's I want? Also, is there a way I can make paragraph breaks or have a list without having all the text run together?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Text Area Component
Hi,
I am using MX 2004 and I am new to components. I tried to use the text area component that comes with MX and it's really annoying. In the parameters box they give you this one line to enter in your text, but you cannot have breaks or press return. It seems like it needs to me all on one line with line wrap.
Is there an easier component to work with for writing scrolling text? Or is there a way to change lines using htis component?
Thanks
