Non Breaking Space In Dynamic Text?
Im reading a whole load of xml into flash which all works ok, however instead of putting a singe line space in after a carrage return in the xml it puts a double line space eg:
<studio id="7">
<studio_name>Desk & Stuff</studio_name>
<studio_text>Summit Audio Inc: Tube pre-amp/compressor limiter
Tubtec: Dual Compressor CL2A
TLA: C5021: Valve compressor
</studio_text>
</studio>

becomes

Summit Audio Inc: Tube pre-amp/compressor limiter

Tubtec: Dual Compressor CL2A

TLA: C5021: Valve compressor

if i use html formatting and put in the xml it doesnt seem to work, perhaps it needs escaping?

any ideas would be great
thanks

Non-Breaking Space In Dynamic Text?
I've got a scrollable dynamic text box and I want to manually create a list in it. The problem is that for the every list item, the multiple spaces in front are being reduced to a single space, screwing up the layout of my list. I know that HTML can be utilized and I've even given it a test run, but I don't like the fact that the HTML text doesn't get anti-aliased. Is there a way to force non-breaking spaces into a Flash 8 dynamic text box without using HTML? Thanks in advance!

White Space In An External Text File
Is it possible to use an load an external text file with multiple variables and line breaks? In other words could I make:

Code:
&defaultParkNum=1&printEnabled=no&usePointer=yes
look like this?

Code:
&defaultParkNum=1

&printEnabled=no

&usePointer=yes
I want to do this so it is easier for people other than me to change these settings. However, when i try to put line breaks into the file, the variables don't get loaded.

Perhaps theres something like ignoreWhite i could use?

Bizarre Flash Breaking ... I'm Also Reaching Breaking Point...
Hi all,

I did a little Flash project a while ago:

http://www.theproblemofnothing.com

I just visited it recently here at work, on Firefox v. 2.0.0.2, and after loading the icons, it broke. Stopped dead. Yet it works on this comp on IE7. I tried another computer at work, and it worked in Firefox, but not in IE7 ... ? Bizarre. I'm posting this in the Actionscript section as I'm using lmctween.as, and I think that might be the issue.

Another issue that might be complicating things is my use of SWFObject for the main movie, and then loading SWF files externally into that movie. Or it might be the preloader I'm using and how I'm using it (eg. _root, etc.) Or something else.

I dunno guys. Everyone here's baffled. I'm sad. Please help! The site is above, and the FLAs can be found here:

http://www.theproblemofnothing.com/_fla

tpon.fla is the main movie, while art.fla is what I used to generate each file. Thanks a ton, and ... thanks!

Sincerely,
Mark (decisionman).

[CS3] External Library Breaking TextField
Hey guys,

So I'm using an external library for icons as described by this article, and things are loading up just fine. Except that when I use it, it is breaking the TextField I'm using in a custom component in the same movie.

As far as I can tell, the TextField is still there and working fine (I've traced the hell out of it, and everything seems to be working as it should). When I'm not doing the importing (ie, don't have the import_library and import_linker objects in the library) everything works fine. But when I have those two in, then the text just doesn't display, even though by every account I can find it should be there. I've tried making different files and things like that, but in all cases, when I'm importing it doesn't work, and when I'm not importing it works.

I'm currently at a loss. Can anyone help?

Links From External ASP File Breaking Dynamic Txt Box
i'm using ACCESS DB to spit out scores of my univeristy's recently played athletic games. on the ASP page i've got all the game info from multiple games being stored in a variable to pass to my flash movie. working great. all the scores load into a textfield that i scroll. also working great. now i need to go back to the string being passed to flash to add a link so that you can click on the game score and go to another page to view that game's write-up. the textfield loads fine until it hits the first "<a href""> code and it stops loading.

My String - all one line:
getetad=""&Recordview("etad")&""&" "&""&Recordview("fhuteam")&""&" vs."&" "&Recordview("team")&" "&"<a href=http://www.fhu.edu/athletics/index_ScBrd_Rslts.asp?varRes="&Recordview("ID")&"</a>"&Recordview("FHUresult")&"</a>"&" "

if you remove the bolded section it works fine. thanks for the help. this my first post, hope i got it right!

Loading External .swf - Breaking Up A Preloader Into Smaller Sections?
Hey people

I am starting to make a Flash MX site.
I know it is going to be too large to preload the whole site in one giant preloader... so i want to break them up into smaller preloading sections.

What i need is to be able to: on the click of a button preload each section of my site independently.

I know I need to load < on the click of a button > external .swf files... I am not a hard core action scripter, and all the tutorials i have done are to hard to understand or dont give me any practical use for what i need to do.

Am i doing something wrong?
To my understanding each section has to be in its own .fla
And then i have to load these different .swf files into my main .fla

Is there anyone out there who can give me a simple explanation on how to code these external preloading 'Sections' on the click of a button?

Cheers, Werglum.

Breaking Apart Text
I want to break apart and animate some text. I have a letter in keyframe 1. Then, in keyframe 15, I choose "modify-break apart" and make my changes to the letter by using the select tool. Next I created a motion tween. However, when I test the movie, the letter doesn't break into pieces (to reflect keyfram 15). Any help would be appreciated!

Breaking Text And Animating Each
hi all,

My first time here, and I am excited to be here.

I have a huge request. I am doing a basic website for my church and one of the nice features I want to add to the site is a flash intro.

The church has a logo.

The logo has, I believe a dove or eagle perched on top of the name.

Please see attachment

The name reads:

Eagle
KINGDOM
Concepts Ministries

What I would like to do is break the logo into 3.

The first one will be the Concepts Ministries.

I want it to slide into place from the left.

Then sliding into place from right is the word KINGDOM

Finally, I would like to have the eagle fly in and perch on top of KINGDOM.

How difficult is this?

Can a beautiful heart assist me on this please?

Thanks in advance.

Breaking Apart Input Text With AS
Hi there, just wondering if there's any way to break apart an input text field into static text boxes (with individual characters) using actionscript. My problem is that I want user input to feed into an input textfield inside a movie clip that will be animated, but the animation won't work with input text, only static text. So basically, is there a way to convert input text to static text using JUST actionscript that is executed along with everything else?

Thanks.

How can I contain the mc to just this square? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Cgi Scripts Breaking Due To Text Input
Hey folks,

I've got a flash file that submits text to a PHP script for storage in a database. There are various characters and combinations of characters that will break the script. For example, two quotation marks in a block of text like this:

This is "properly" quoted.

WILL NOT break the script, but a single quotation mark by itself like this:

It"s a typo!

WILL break it.

I've tried to replace this character with actionscript, but haven't gotten my [if substr(textblock, i, 1) eq QUOTE] statement to work properly...

Also ( [ [] / : characters are problematic.

Is there a standard method for handling this problem? I've got a scheme for encoding the characters into special character pairs (`1, `2, `3, `4 etc...) and decoding the pairs with actionscript, and a separate chunk of decoding code in the PHP file, because it sends out an email with the text block enclosed. This seems messy to me, and I'm still getting limited errors here and there that I'm still trying to track down.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Breaking Up Text Doesn´t Work?
Hello people!

Strange thing just happen!
When i break apart text , he doesn´t change to graphical object.
Instead you can only select it with the arrow tool and you can still
edit as text!!

I´ve already download projects that use the break command
and when i play it on the flash mx it works, and when i select
any letter from these project , they are as graphical object...

It seems that this kind of bug only happens when i write and
break apart next...

Any ideia?

Breaking Appart Text With AS And Putting In Array. Possible?
Hi,

I need to create a function with takes a text field and does two things with it

The first is to split text up into individual letters with each being a separate symbol. Basically the equivalent to breaking apart the text field, then converting each letter to symbols, then giving each letter its own unique name This is the way I'm doing it now and its very time consuming and not at all easy to update to text.

The second part is to create an array containing all the instant names.

For example if the text was "hello world", the function would create symbols with called n1 (containing h) , n2 (containing e) , n3 (containing l), n4 (containing l), n5 (containing o), and then the array would be [n1,n2,n3,n4,n5]

I'm working on something and if I get past this last problem then its gonna look so good. Thanks in advance,

Carriage Return Breaking Dynamic Text
Hello!

I have a user inputted textfield (html) I am calling in dynamically from a Coldfusion variable. Everything works fine IF the user has not simply hit carriage return in their text. and html tags work fine but if the text contains any hard returns my flash file does not display at all...

I am using swfobject...

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("flash/intro.swf", "mymovie", "815", "420", "8");
so.addParam ("wmode","opaque");
so.addVariable ("textBoxer","<cfoutput>#contact.paragraph#</cfoutput>");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

....as you can see, my contact.paragraph (the input text) is being placed into my dynamic text box in the flash "textBoxer"...everything works fine as long as the user does not use enter to create a new line - unfortunately it is habit and they all do so...any way around this??
I have tried other variables to be sure its not format/syntax and it pulls them in just fine. Even re-entered user text with rather than enter and it worked...

ANY help is most appreciated. Really hit the wall with this one. Thanks!

Blessings,
Hinsel

Breaking Text Into Movieclips/sprites For Tweening
I work at a firm and one of the things we'd like to do is do some basic text f/x -- fading, moving individual letters in on a swirl, etc. TweenMax seems ideal to do this (particularly the .allTo capability). In fact we've got a project where it's all being done the timeline!

Is there any way in AS3 to take input text (which can be in the form of an existing static textfield, or added dynamically to a dynamic textfield), break it up into individual movieclips or sprites and then tween those separately -- while keeping the text arrangement on screen (spacing, line breaks, etc)? At present we have to go in by hand, and use the IDE "break" command to break the text strings into individual letters, and then, by hand, turn each of those into movie clips. Then we can tween them. Since the text changes often, you can imagine how time-consuming this is (it's for banners -- many, many banners).

One could of course rather easily take text in AS3 and turn each letter into a movie clip -- but how would one be sure of spacing, kerning, line breaks, etc, between letters?

Thanks for any help!

Breaking Apart Large Piece Of Text = HUGE Slowdown ?
This is so weird....I made textblock of 25 lines of text in Adobe Caslon type.
I broke it all apart, turning each line into a movieclip and then turning each word into a nested clip.

Can't do it any other way, cause I need to scroll the whole text through a mask and have some words fade out earlier than others.

But the problem is that the CPU usage in both MX 2004 and the standalone flash player is over 90% !!!! The scrolling, without ANY code other than a simple mcText.tween("_y", -500, 60, "linear", 0) to move it up, makes it all look choppy!!

UpdateAfterEvent doesn't make a different either (it's as useless as usual).

Any advice/hints would be VERY much appreciated. My assignment is getting to run late like that

Space Age Random Generated Text Before Revealing Real Text?
How is this done?

http://www.rodec.com/site/content/home.asp

See how the text comes in as random generated text before revealing the real text. Its like that matrix or space aged thing happening.

Here are some code that I found, but don't know how to modify it to do this:

Code:

var str:String = " What is the answer";

var sInt = setInterval(writeIt,1);
var count:Number = 0;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("type");

function writeIt() {
if(count == 0) {
s.start(0,1000);
}
theText.text = str.substring(0,count);
count += 5;
if(count > str.length) {
clearInterval(sInt);
s.stop();
}
}

I don't mind how this is setup though, it looks pretty straight forward, it just doesn't do that random generated text to reveal the real text and just do standard masking.

They use this effect for the cast in the begining or the end of the film. It can be done by a triangle frame or something lik that. Has anybody seen this tutorial to give me the address please?

Space Around Text In TextField.
Hi,

See attatched code.

I made a simpel textFiled with some text and a border.

Does anyone knows how to get rid of the extra space between the text and the border of the textField? I'm goning crazy with this.

I made the width of the textFiled the width of the text and the height of the textField the height of the text. But because of the extra space the text will not show as I wanted to be.

Is there a solution for this? To remove the extra space surrounding the text?

Thanks.

Attach Code

var myFont:Font = new libFont();
var myFormatTag:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

var tagContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(tagContainer);

myFormatTag.color = 0x000000;
myFormatTag.font = myFont.fontName;

var lineTag:TextField = new TextField();
lineTag.name = "TextFieldTag";
lineTag.defaultTextFormat = myFormatTag;
lineTag.text = "gjpqyURL.com";
lineTag.width = lineTag.textWidth;
lineTag.height = lineTag.textHeight;
lineTag.x = 0;
lineTag.y = 0;
lineTag.selectable = true;

i'm sorry if this is dumb. i searched the forums and the site with no luck.

Remove Space Around Text In Textbox...?
I'm making a little clock that will be standalone (.exe). This clock will have "always on top" setting. I'm making it small so users can postion it in the Title Bar of programs next to minimize, maximize, close buttons.

Having said all that, How can I remove the space around text in a textbox? From my image you can see there is space inside the textbox, and around the text. I have the show border property checked, so you can see size of textbox. I also have all the format options set to "0". Anything I try won't remove the extra space. I'd like to remove this space so I can have the text be larger while still maintaining the size of the textbox. Any ideas on this one?

White Space In Dynamic Text Box
I need some advice on dealing with white space in dynamic text.

I have a text box that is being created and filled via actionscripting. I'm filling it with a simple .txt file like this:
body=here is some text.

The text is not HTML and it's not escaped.

The box is narrow (25-30 characters) and the text usually winds up being eight or ten lines deep. When the text flows in, I get a space at the beginning of some lines. It apears to happen when the space won't fit on the line above. I really want my left edge to be squeeky clean here. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but condenseWhite didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
