Cant type text in flash cs5

Hi! When I try to write text and then jump to a new line to write more text, the text continues on the same line. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks

You can write a simple line of code as:
txtName.multiline=true;
txtName is the instance name of input text box.
I hope your problem will be solved. If you have any the same problem again then send me your FLA file to [email protected] will get back to you with the solutions.
Thanks,
Uday

Cannot find text in Flash CS5

I can't search for text in Flash CS5.
I've created a new project, added some actionscript in the first frame ("stop();")
When trying to search for this string (CTRL-F > Find and Replace) I get no results.
Search in: Current Document
For: Text
Text: stop
Replace with (blank)
Checked items:
Text fields contents
Frames/Layers/Parameterss
Strings in ActionScript
ActionSript
Nothing (ever) shows up in the results. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

3 years later... I'm having the same luck with the "Find and Replace" tool.
The only way I had any success using this tool was to drag all the MCs from the library to the stage before using "Find and Replace".
I could not figure out how to find and replace text within a mc that was in the library only and not on the stage.
Note: I also had to specify to search in "Current Document" as it would not work in the "Current Scene".

How to display dynamic text in flash CS5....

i am using flash cs5...i created a game but when i m running it...it is showing a message saying "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts""
and i am not getting my dynamic text output.......please hwlp me out!!!!!!

As the error message says, you need to embed the font(s) that you use in any input or dynamic text object so that Flash will have that font to use when displaying the dynamic text. There are several different ways to accomplish this. Are you using textField objects on the stage, or are you creating instances of textFields using Actionscript?

SQLite Database and TLF Text in Flash CS5

I encountered the following problem when working with the built-in sqlite database and using TLF TextFields in Flash CS5
When I tried to use TLF TextFields alone, I don't face any probelem,
but when I start using a database connectivity code, the TLF TextFields placed on the stage are not shown, but instead, the SWF file is showing the built-in preloader with five dots looping.
I tried changing the default Linkage in ActionScript 3 Settings to Merge Mode, but in this case nothing is shown, not the textfields, neither the preloader.
I think the problem is related to loading the TLF Text Engine, but I couldn't figure out what to do.
The following is my code placed in first frame:
==========================================
import flash.data.SQLConnection;
import flash.events.SQLErrorEvent;
import flash.events.SQLEvent;
import flash.filesystem.File;
var conn:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();
conn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, openHandler);
conn.addEventListener(SQLErrorEvent.ERROR, errorHandler);
// The database file is in the application directory
var folder:File = File.applicationDirectory;
var dbFile:File = folder.resolvePath("DBSample.db");
conn.openAsync(dbFile);
function openHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    trace("the database was created successfully");
function errorHandler(event:SQLErrorEvent):void
    trace("Error message:", event.error.message);
    trace("Details:", event.error.details);
stop();
==========================================
and I am using one TLF TextField on the stage for later use.
Publish Settings>> Player: AIR 2.6
and not to forget, when I test the file using Contol Panel >> Test in Air Debug Launcher (Desktop), the file is working correctly.
but when I open the generated SWF file, the problem appears.
I hope that I find some help
Thanks.

How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
Thanks-

Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

How do I create dynamic scrolling text in Flash CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.
I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
Remember, I'm a complete newbie.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks again Kglad,
I really have no preference of Action Script since I don't have any significant experience with either one.
I'll keep doing searches to see if I can get the information I need.
Have a great holiday.

Arabic text in flash cs5.5

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to confirm that rendering arabic text correctly (from right to left) has to be done in TLF, as I understand from the research I've done so far that it can not be done in classic mode. Also, is setting the direction to "from right to left" enough for it to be displayed correctly? I've seen some comments on people who speak Arab saying it was not displaying correctly in the final SWF. As I can not read Arab I can't really tell...
Can anyone confirm this please?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know the TLFTextField is the only class currently provided for native support of right to left text. It is only supported by players that were developed concurrent with its arrival, which might account for some not seeing what they expect. From what I have heard there are discrepancies with its performance as well, wherein if you do not need to use it, stick with the classic TextField.

Flash CS5 Greeter.cs HelloWorld.fla text type Dynamic not an option? ActionScript 3

Learning to program in ActionScript 3 for Flash CS5 Pro,
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/learn/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7fdf.html
The tutorial says that the text box, should be text type Dynamic, but the only choices are TLF and Classic
Since the Classic closed the Instance name box, I chose TLF text.
When I test the scene, I get a blank screen, instead of a "Hello World" greeting. Is there a way around this?

I had the class file in the wrong directory, and so now it works! Thank you for looking.

Flash CS5 problem - missing text

We've got several Flash files created by a partner organization that we're trying to edit. The files are for an e-learning course and contain four or five "tabs," each with a multiple choice or true/false question, each option labeled A, B, C, etc.. The learner clicks through the tabs, answers each question using either radio buttons or click boxes, and clicks "submit" to check the answers. When they click submit they should get a line below that either says "Correct!" or, if they're wrong, "Answer:" followed by the letter of the correct option(s).
What's happening instead is that about 75% of the time when you answer incorrectly nothing at all appears after "Answer:", or in a couple of cases where it was a multiple choice question with more than one correct option, it may only display one of the correct answers.
Things that may or may not be relevant:
We are working in Flash Pro CS5. These were created in an earlier version, probably CS3 or 4. The published SWF files we received from the original developer at our partner agency don't have this problem, but if we open the Flash files and republish them the error shows up, even if we make no changes to the files. We had a developer working on contract with us for a while using I think CS4 and he was able to republish them without a problem.
Every time we run the debugger on the files we get a Font Mapping dialog box indicating that it contains a font (Universal Condensed) that is not available on our system. I always opt to map it to a font we do have but the next time I open the file I get the same message again.
On any of the question tabs where happening, when I run debugger I get several messages like this in the output window: Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r5" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r1" or Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r6" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r2". I believe the "r5", "r6", etc. is referring to something that the original developer created to automate the creation of these animations. In Designer view, off to the side there are set up instructions, invisible when published, that apparently allow you to enter letters and numbers to create up to 6 questions in any of 8 styles, with up to 8 answers each.
Again in the output window, I'm getting this message: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.". I've embedded both fonts that I believe are used in the animation but it doesn't seem to change anything.
I was also getting errors like this in the compiler window: Symbol=radio button, layer=Layer 2, frame=1, Line 1 Case-insensitive identifier 'button' will obscure built-in object 'Button'. I am able to click over to the "Actions-Frame" window and the first line there reads either button = "off" or button = "on". If I change button to Button this message is cleared but it doesn't seem to impact the other problem.
I've spent what is officially now a stupid amount of time trying to figure this out, and I'm starting from search a knowledge deficit that my usual Google research skills are failing me. None of us on staff have any formal Flash training, but two of us have taught ourselves enough to successfully make minor changes to all but this one type of file, and there are several of them like this. I have a vague idea that it has something to do with embedding fonts and dynamic text fields, but none of the suggestions I've seen so far works and I'm at a loss. Would appreciate ideas anyone might have about where to look before I pull out any more hair.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

Flash CS5 (TLF:How to type Hindu numbers?)

Hello,
In flash CS5 - using the TLF text, I can not find any option to change the numeral (digits) type from arabic to hindu - is this possible?

Hi,
What input method editor are you using? You should be able to set the font to something like Devanagari MT and use a character palette to enter the numbers. What font are you using?

Enlarging text in XSPF player w/Flash CS5

I took a class in Flash way back when it first came out. I haven't used it since then until I recently got the CS5 version for a specific task. I'm revising a small site which includes articles about musicians and sound clips of their work. The mp3 player I'm using is the open-source XSPF Player. It has a clean minimal look that fits my page design. The only problem is the text size inside the player that shows the artist name, song title, etc. It's way too small. I contacted one of the people who has released a modified version of this player, and he said yes it would be no problem to modify the .swf file to display the text differently. However, when I open the player with Flash, the tools are grayed out. I explored all the options on the menus and panels without finding a way to get at the insides of this player. I've two options here: 1-Get specific advice from one of you who has used Flash more than I have, or 2-Get advice about the location a good tutorial. I tried Googling the info I need but didn't get useful results. Any tips? Here's a page where I've implemented the player ...
http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/fripp.htm

Never can tell when a question will be answered in this forum and when it will be ignored.
Anyway...
More research has yielded the likely answer, for the benefit of anyone else trying to do the same thing I'm doing and searches here.
To get inside a .swf file and change it with Flash CS5, the file must be converted to its previous .fla version. There are a wide variety of swf-to-fla converters available, some commercially and some for free. Use Google to find them. Good luck!

Library font Bitmap text (no anti-alias) Flash CS5

Ok, in previous version of flash we had this window:
But now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]? And don't give me the GridFitType.PIXEL solution, I want true Bitmap text.

Can someone please help me with the above problem?
I've published two images to show what appen.
This it's the correct
one (without embedding font and with font installed in the client
machine).
This it's the wrong one
(with font embedded and not installed in the client machine).
I'm so sad... thanks

I cant simply type text in Pages ?

Seems crazy, but I cant do the simplest task of type text. On the bottom of the screen it does recognize that iv pressed keys, but I cant see them on the screen. Looked at the help and I cant find anything that tells me how to do it. Iv even re-installed the program.
Thanks, George.

George,
Apply all the software updates to iWork and apply the most recent Combo Update for 10.6.3; then you will know that the problem is not likely to be related to the OSX/iWork compatibility bug that has been discussed many times here. Also make sure that you are starting with the blank Word Processing template, not the Page Layout template.
If you aren't sure what the difference is between the blank Word Processing template and the blank Page Layout template, then it's time to brew a pot of tea, get comfortable and read the Pages User Guide PDF that can be downloaded from the Help menu.
Welcome to the discussions.

Why cant I save a cs4 file as cs5 in adobe flash cs5

When ever I try to save a cs4 file as CS5 the adobe flash cs5 will stop responding for no reasons
also, some times and only for some files when I save the cs4 file as uncompressed cs5 and then save that uncompressed cs5 to normal cs5 the conversion works and some times not.
ofcourse any of the cs5 files cannot be saved as cs3 or cs2 for no reasons..
p/s: microsoft office can be saved to any previous versions.. adobe should learn something from them..

oops...posted this in the wrong thread.

Cant rotate text properly in Flash MX

When I rotate my text in Flash with the transform tool, it will ONLY export out as a animated gif file not as a swf, or html. The text will appear missing. It looks fine in the fla file, now when I dont "transform" or rotate the text, it comes fine as a swf file. I also noticed the rotating tool in my properties is grayscaled out.
Help.

If you can explain how I could properly embed this, that would be cool but I dont think it's that. I've tried the other fonts in Flash and same thing. I'm also having actionscript problems too and I think It's my Flash software. I just think that it kind of weird that something your working on in the canvas is not outputting what you see and everything is connected right (that I'm aware of)
Thanks.
