Alpha property of the Text Control...

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me why the alpha attribute of the Flex 2 Text
control doesn't work? I hard coded the alpha value of the Text
control to 0 and it still displays the control as if the alpha
attribute wasn't set. Is this a bug? Here is an example:
<mx:Text text="testing" color="#ffffff" fontSize="24"
width="250" textAlign="center" id="bottomPart" height="100%"
alpha="0"/>
Thanks for your time,
- Tony

Awesome, thanks guys - embedding the font worked perfectly.
I have one more hurdle that is standing in my way (I suppose
I should just start a new topic for this?), what would the syntax
be to change the style of a child added to a canvas? Basically I
have an mxml component which contains a canvas. That canvas is
populated using the addchild method with another mxml component
that contains an HBox and a single label. What happens is I add the
HBox mxml component to the canvas multiple times - my goal is to
change the style of the label within the added mxml component to
something else once it has been added to the canvas. I'm not sure
what the syntax would be in order to achieve this - I'm thinking
along the lines of '
nameOfCanvas.getChildAt(n). ...'.
Any idea how I would be able to achieve this?
Thank you both for your time and help,

How to enter special charcterstics like alpha, gama, beta in text in sap

Dear friends
One of my client insisting to to have special characters values like alpha, beta, gama etc need to be entered in material short text and some other places. I know how to get those special letters through MS word, But how to get the same in SAP.
Plz povide solution.

Hello
One silmple solution is to write the description in MS word or Excel, and use "Set in->Symbols" functionality to in order to have characters like u03BC u03B2 etc. And then cut and paste the letters into the description in SAP.

Can you control the alpha of an input text box?

Using Action Script, I mean?
If I put a ball on the stage and make it a movie, I can make
it vanish by putting
ball._alpha -= 100;
If I put an input text field on the stage and reference it by
name that doesn't work.
If I turn the text field into a MC it STILL doesn't work.
Heck, if I put the text field in the mc with the ball the
ball disappears but the text field is still there.
How do I use AS to make an input text field disappear?

nevermind, I'll just get creative.
if the damn thing wont VANISH when I want it to, I'll create
the same effect by knocking it the hell off the stage
textField._x -= 1000;
LOL!

How do I convert an alpha character from a text string to its decimal value

I am trying to find out the actual decimal value of a character in a string. So far the code below is as far as I got. I am able to get what I guess is a byte value.
This is for a school assignment:
The idea behind what I am trying to do is to design a hash function to store dictionary words into a bucket array hash table, without using the existing Hashtable.class
so far this is what I can come up with to get some kind of value for each character in the string, however, what I am trying to get is the decimal value for each character.
public static void main(String args[]){
     String word = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
     for (int i=0 ; i < word.length(); i++){
     System.out.print((word.substring(i,i+1)));
     System.out.print("\t : "+((word.substring(i,i+1))).getBytes());
Thankyou for any replies.

I'm not sure I completly understand your goal- what you mean by "decimal value", but, if you simply want to find the byte value of each character in a String, you would probably be better off using getBytes() in a way like this,
byte [] bytes = string.getBytes();
Then, if you need to map that to a charcter, you could use a for loop like
for (int x = 0; x < bytes.length; x++) {
table.put((char)bytes[x], bytes[x]);
which assummes this bucket class of yours allows primitive data types like so (in Hashtable or HashMap, you would have to use a wrapper Object). I guess, my point reduces to, don't use substring and string search methods (like indexOf()), unless you have to because they are more expensive then just maping the array of bytes and chars, which seems to be what you are interested in doing.

Set an undefined Loaded variable's alpha to 0

Hi, I'm trying creating a flash navigation bar that can be edited via a simple text file. I'm able to load my different variables properly but i also want to give the user the ability to remove links. I can simply leave the variable from the text file blank and and have the text in the swf disappear but i also want to be able to set the alpha of the movieclip behind the text to zero when the variable is left blank. Alternatively, even if the user could simply set the variable to the string "Blank" and both the alpha of the dynamic text and movieclip would change to zero that would be functional as well. Here is the code i have so far.
NavLoadVar = new LoadVars();
NavLoadVar.load("navigation.txt");
NavLoadVar.onLoad = function() {
     b1.text = NavLoadVar.b1text;
     b2.text = NavLoadVar.b2text;
     b3.text = NavLoadVar.b3text;
     b4.text = NavLoadVar.b4text;
     b5.text = NavLoadVar.b5text;
     b6.text = NavLoadVar.b6text;
     b7.text = NavLoadVar.b7text;
     b8.text = NavLoadVar.b8text;
if (NavLoadVar.b1text == "Blank") {
     divider1._alpha = 0;

Something like the following should work...
NavLoadVar.onLoad = function() {
     for(i=1; i<9; i++){
          if (NavLoadVar["b"+i+"text"] == "Blank") {
               this["divider"+i]._alpha = 0;
          } else {
               this["b"+i].text = NavLoadVar["b"+i+"text"] ;

How to change color on multiple text clips

I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
Thanks,
Cody

Thanks Mjax4,
That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
Anyway, you could
1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
• Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
• Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
Hope this helps.

Controlling alpha on embedded fonts

There's a site I'm working on http://www.droolpigs.com/April5/ I have the alpha on the navigation buttons set to 0.2 the text appears with full alpha as I want. I have a nice Old English font I want to use but when I embed the font it takes on the alpha settings of the background. I set the alpha for the text field to 1 but the text remains at 0.2. Any ideas on how to set the alpha of a container without affecting the embedded text in it or to set the alpha on the embedded text independently?

If you set the alpha of the container, that sets the maximum alpha you can reach for anything inside it. If you want the background to be a different alpha you'll need to make the background as a separate object within the container and set its alpha instead of the container.

Transparent TextArea Background not text

i have a textarea with htmltext written...
now my requirement is that i need to make the background of textarea semi-transparent so that text could be read easily.
the only problem is that setting the alpha property makes text transparent too.
i need only the background to be transparent ....
pls somebody help me.

Select the text, hit F8 to turn it into a new MovieClip symbol. Now, inside the new clip, add a layer behind the text. In that layer place a shape - which you also turn into a movieClip and then you can set it's alpha.
On stage you just refer to the text inside of the clip to set it, rather than the text itself:
myClip.theText.text = "Hello World";
If you give the alpha shape behind the text an instance name you can then set the alpha independently too:
myClip.myShape.alpha = .5;

Flash text problem

The text in my flash animation should be Arial font but it
shows up as Times New Roman. My animation also allows users to
select the text with their cursor when it is playing. If anyone
could take a look at the link below which has the animation and
make some suggestions as to how I could fix this it would be
greatly appreciated.

Flash text is usually the sure mark of an amateur site. It
also denies
access to that text to those who don't have Flash, to search
engines for
ranking your site, and to those using assistive screen
devices. It's not
something I would use on any site unless I had a compelling
reason to do so.
All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Filling Text with a Texture?

I want to take a piece of video (specifically the metal texture from the generator tab) and fill my text face with it. What I've tried:
Selecting "Face" in the 'text' section of the inspector for the text I want to fill
Then I selected "Texture" from the "Fill With " drop down menu
Then I clicked inside the "Source Media" icon,
Next the monitor split and when I selected the section of video I wanted to use (in this case the metal texture I dragged from the generators) I clicked "apply clip"
and then nothing happnes, and the "Source Media" thumbnail remains blank..
I also tried this with other random video clips just in case it might be the generator, all to no avail...
...am I doing something wrong or is this another bug?

Put the texture on top of the video. Put the text on top of the texture. To the text apply blend mode Stencil Alpha. Combine the text and the texture into a compound clip.

IDCS3: Alpha Channels and InCopy: Bug!?

We use the InDesign/InCopy CS3 workflow.
So this is what I do in InDesign: I place a psd image in my layout and use its alpha channel to wrap text. Then I manually adjust the channel's path for my preferred result.
If another user edits the attached .inca file, saves and closes ist again, the manual adjustments to the psd file's alpha channel in the InDesign file have gone!
Does that sound familiar to anyone and is there a solution out there?
Thanks in advance!
Sven

Yes, I've seen it. First make sure you're all fully patched to 5.0.4,
then check to see that text wrap only effects text beneath is disabled
in your prefs.
If none of that works, try opening the InDesign file in InCopy.

Playing with Text Masks and Effects

I want to create a mask of the text, put it on an image so that the image shows through the text, but have the same background displaying, so that somehow the text mask is magnified or sliding like a pane of glass...how can I accomplish this?
I put in the background image, duplicate it, put in the text, add an alpha blend to the text, but now I want the alpha cut out to be somehow distinguished from the background so that you can see it - raised in size, magnified, or embossed, somehow?

You will either need to group the foreground effects completely separately form the background image or, my preferred method, render out your foreground matte effect and reimport the movie. Place the matted text movie over the background image and apply additional blending or other effects to either or both layers.

Alpha validation

Hi,
How to validate the user entered data whether it is alphabetic or numeric...
Other than alphabets,an alert should be shown to the user.
Regards,
Manjula

You can use numeric fields to force numeric data capture only. Alternatively, you can use regular expressions to force numeric or alpha data capture on text fields. The attached uses the following regular expressions:
// form1.page1.tf-numeric-only::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var tf = this.rawValue;
// \D to match any character NOT in the range 0 - 9
var regExp = /\D/;
if (regExp.test(tf)) {
xfa.host.messageBox("The field must be numeric.","Validation",1);
// form1.page1.tf-alpha-only::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var tf = this.rawValue;
// \d to match any character in the range 0 - 9
var regExp = /\d/;
if (regExp.test(tf)) {
xfa.host.messageBox("The field must be alpha.","Validation",1);

Can anyone tell me how to get it to be able to run as user again. I've traced the problem down to that.
Thanks,

P.s. In never needed the '&' to run this. If it matters, I edited my bash rc to alias the command to just 'conky'

Ok, there's your problem. When you're running "$ conky -c ~/AccuW_2/accuw.Toronto.conky", you're effectively running:
$ <insert 'conky' alias here> -c ~/AccuW_2/accuw.Toronto.conky
Or in other words:
$ killall conky && conky -c ~/AccuW_2/accuw.Toronto.conky & -c ~/AccuW_2/accuw.Toronto.conky
Heh. Told you this belongs in the newbie section.
There's an "-c ~/AccuW_2/accuw.Toronto.conky" appendage at the end that Bash doesn't know how to interpret.
I guess I never noticed the problem because conky always autostarted. I deleted the line and restarted and everything works now. Thanks!
Mods. move this to newbie or better yet delete it, it's embarassing.
