Dynamic Text line spacing issue

Hi, in my Flash movie (CS3) I want all text to be selectable.
When I select 'static' and 'selectable', I have the following issues:
- Some of the text does not fit into the available (scrolling required to see the end of text)
- This is larger than when in Flash.
When I use 'dynamic' text, I have the following issues:
- The line spacing displays different in the exported swf than it does in Flash (line spacing is much greater in the swf)
- I am a designer so the appearance / positioning of the text is crucial
Is this common?
Is there any way to make the text in Flash and swf appear consistent?
Many thanks

First of all, maybe you don't know it, but static text can't be made selectable even in theory. Therefore what you're seeing when you click "Selectable" option, is a dynamic text. As for line spacing, I don't see any difference between Flash CS4 and resulting SWF. The only strange thing I've found is the necessarity to enlarge the bounding rectangle when I change the text type from static to dynamic. Otherwise bottom line of text just disappears. It looks like a bug. Also I don't see "Autosize" option being working here in CS4. I doubleclick on bottom right corner of the text block, small square is transformed into a diamond, and bounding rect is "autosized" around the text block. But the bottom text line disappears just as I deselect the text object. All it looks some stange...

Text Line Spacing Question

Hi, I am creating a book in aperture 2.0 and am having some trouble adjusting the line spacing in a newly created text box. The default text book in the template has a line space of +5. I have created my own text box for another page and the line spacing is +1.
How do i change this to +5 to match the default. I cant find the option anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
PS. I find version 2 much nippier than 1.5.6.

Bruce:
Thank you for your reply. I generally set all the default margins to "0". I'll adjust the margins for paragraph indentations.
I'm not sure how to describe the problem better than in my original posting, but I'll try.
Suppose a form which looks like a contract with headings, single unchanging sentences and dynamic paragraphs.
Suppose you create a Text Field object, and you use the Concat function. Suppose that you created multiple very long sentences using Concat in that same Text Field. You could use the paragraph window to set the line spacing at 1, 1.5 or 2.
Set the line spacing at 2.
Suppose you create a Text object that was either a heading or a sentence or two in length.
Suppose there are both multiple Text Field and Text objects throughout the document.
My is issue is lining up the line spacing so it is consistent double spaced throughout the document where there are multiple Text and Text Field objects. If I just look at it, my line spacing is close but far from consistent.
I set my Text Objects and Text Fields at .25in throughout the whole document and that gets me an approximation of 1.5 line spacing, but that is still only close.
Thanks for any additional thoughts.
Best,

PDF Letterhead Text LINE SPACING PROBLEM

I recently upgraded from Pro 8 to X Pro on my Windows XP desktop. With Pro * I used the typewriter fucntion to place text onto my pdf letterhead. I have my letterhead in pdf format on my hardrive. I saved this texted letterhead without a problem, i.e., with the font, paragraphs, and line spacing eaxtly as it was when I creared it. With X Pro, after having placed text in my letterhead using the Typewriter function, my attempt to save the texted in letter head results in a pdf document which does not respect the line spacing I used w=hen creating it. Why am I have this line spacing problem?

Thank you Michael,
I am simply trying to continue using X Pro the way I used Pro 8. In Pro 8 I
used the Typewriter function to input text to the letter head stored in my
hard drive. Perhaps this is a functionality I lost as a result of the
upgrade to X Pro -- I hope not??

Flash 7 dynamic text box IE issues

Hi all,
I am having issues with IE V.6.0.3790.0 not loading dynamic
text into text boxes inside a Flash 7 SWF on a remote desktop. Does
anyone know of any compatability issues with dynamic text boxes and
IE? The file loads properly into Safari on my MAC, and I have the
latest Flash Plugin installed. Could it be a Plugin issue, rather
than a IE issue? The reason I am asking is I have a site launched
and many people cannot see the pages that pull in Dynamic text. I
am trying to either get to the bottom of it and provide a fix, or
at least come up with some answers!

Thanks - but why would the fonts be visible in Safari and
Firefox, for example, and not in that version of IE?

Line spacing issues

I am typing a document and using single spacing...computer line spacing shows as 1 as does inspector text, yet as I get to the lower portion of my document it suddenly changes to double spacing and I cannot get it to change back to single

When I ran into a similar problem I copied the text into a
blank Word document, fixed the spacing there, then copied and
pasted the text back into the Captivate text box. Good luck...

Text Line Spacing Capabilities for DVD Studio Pro 4

Would anyone know if it is possible to set tect spacing at 1.5, rather than just single or double line spacing (by hitting the return button)?

text formatting is very basic in DVDSP
as a quick adjustment for a small amount of text, I type in two separate pieces of text, one for each line, then move the second text down as needed
for more text than this I create a photoshop file

Jumbled text and spacing issues when creating a pdf

When I create pdfs from FrameMaker 9 or Word 2007 files, Acrobat 9 Pro often transposes characters or modifies the spacing between characters. Can anyone help?

I modified the settings according to the help page. I then built 5 pdfs and did not see evidence of the letter jumbling or spacing issues. Since this issue is intermittent, I cannot confirm that the problem is solved, but I am hopeful!

Weird Line Spacing Issue in Mail App and iChat

All of the sudden, all of the lines of text in my mail app and ichat are all bunched up. It's impossible to read the content. Maybe my baby son pressed something but the font is tiny and illegible. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks

Hello Darryn,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Mac. If you are seeing an unusual bunching or overlapping of text in multiple applications, it can often be due to a font issue. You may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, including one possible specific instance which may result in similar issues:
Helvetica Fractions font may cause text to display improperly in Address Book, iChat, Safari, Mail

No line spacing, so why...

Hi,
There is no line spacing applied. However, the first line is
in brown and the second line is in gold. There is a massive line
space between the two lines, whereas I'd like them to be the
equivalent of a soft return.
"welcometo" is brown text, and h1 is defined as gold text.
The p tag is defined in brown also. I've got a huge gap between
each line.
<td width="546" height="261" valign="top"><h1
class="welcometo">Welcome to</h1>
<h1>OUR COMPANY</h1><br>
<p>My main text paragraphs here.</p>
</td>

You are seeing the margins between the <h1> and the
<p>, and it's made worse
by the unnecessary <br>. Use CSS to control these
margins. It's not a line
spacing issue at all.

How do you set the line spacing when using the Append Text Table to Report VI?

I have a table of numbers which I wish to print using the report generation VI's. Since each column has a different numerical format, I first convert the number for each cell to a string with the appropriate format and then build a string array to pass to the Append Text Table to Report VI. The table is printed with double line spacing. How do I reset this for single spacing?

Dave,
The issue is not with the NI-Reports functionality, but the Array to Spreadsheet String funvtion in the for loop. Here is the context help for this function:
"Converts an array of any dimension to a table in string form, containing tabs separating column elements, a platform-dependent EOL character separating rows, and, for arrays of three or more dimensions, headers separating pages."
The thing to note here is that it says it adds an EOL (end of line) character at the end of every row. This is what is happening. Your first column of data has a \r\n in it and adds the second row to each data item. This in turn makes the rest of the columns have a larege blank space at the bottom so that all of the cell heights are equal. I w
ould re-write that little bit of code so that you just do one large string concatenation of number, spaces, number, spaces, number and this should solve your issue.

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

How can I change or reduce the line spacing to single in a "multiple lines of text" column in a list?

We keep many logs in a simple list format. One of the columns requires a description using the "multiple lines of text" default column. Sometimes the person making the entry needs to complete about 20-30 lines of text. Users are requesting we reduce
the amount of space advanced between lines to save space and be more concise. Is there a way to reduce the line spacing for the column entries to single spacing without code?
Maree N Percival

We determined that the site column settings were incorrect for allowing single spacing, we changed the site column setting from "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" to "Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)"
and it is now keeping the text in single spaced lines.
<label for="onetidRichText">Specify the type of text to allow:</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextPlain" name="RichText" title="Plain text" type="radio" value="PLAIN" />
<label for="onetidRichTextPlain">Plain text </label>
<input id="onetidRichTextCompatible" name="RichText" title="Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="COMPATIBLE" />
<label for="onetidRichTextCompatible">Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextFullHtml" name="RichText" title="Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="FullHtml" />
<label for="onetidRichTextFullHtml">Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)</label>

Line Spacing in text field.

Hi,
I have added many text fields to my pdf document. Some of them need following:
1.
Adjust the line spacing between two lines.
2.
Make the text "justified".
I can not find any way to accomplish these things. Can anyone tell me how to do these things?
Thanks,
Vijay

Geo,
Are you talking about check box "Allow Rich Text Formatting" in the Text Field Properties dialog box? I have it checked.
But still it does not give me ability to adjust line spacing or "justify"ing the text.
Thanks,
Vijay

Issue with visibiliy of dynamic text and hyperlinks

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've build a Flash site and a I'm finding a out a lot has changed.
I'm building a simple site with some pictures, text and the 5 last posts from Twitter.
This last one is not working out that well.
First of all:
The outputed data from Twitter is displayed into a dynamic text field which is working fine when I test the movie in Flash, but as soon as I upload it to my server the text is not visible.
Flash already told me that I need to enclose my font in the movie (that's new for me) and I did that using the button in the properties windows.
But it still won't work.
I recreated the Twitter reader in a empty document to isolate it from my website during the troubleshooting.
Here's the AS I'm using:
var loadXML:XML = new XML();
    loadXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    loadXML.onLoad = processXML;
    loadXML.load("twitter.php"); //used when swf in placed on server
    loadXML.load("");
    function processXML(loaded:Boolean)
        if(loaded)
            var node = this.firstChild;
            tweet_1.text = node.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            tweet_2.text = node.childNodes[1].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            tweet_3.text = node.childNodes[2].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            tweet_4.text = node.childNodes[3].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            var follower_count = node.childNodes[9].childNodes[11].childNodes[9].firstChild;// Creates variable
            trace(follower_count); //loads variable into output
            follower_count_txt.text = follower_count;// show follower count in text box
        else
            error_txt.text = "Error loading XML file";
                    for (i=0; i<follower_count; i++)
                        _root.attachMovie("tweep_mc", "tweep"+i+"_mc", i);
                        _root["tweep"+i+"_mc"]._x = 150 + random(500);
                        _root["tweep"+i+"_mc"]._y = 150 + random(500);
                        trace(i);
                    trace(i);
    follow_btn.onRelease = function()
        getURL("");
facebook_btn.onRelease = function()
        getURL("");
stop();
Right here you can see the output of it on the server.
The second issue:
The items posted to Twitter will simply always contain pictures which Twitter posts as hyperlinks.
Is there a way to make those hyperlinks function in my dynamic text field?
Hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks in advance!!
Karim

Ok.. After some resarch I find out the guy who created this made use of the Twitter API.. Since I don't know how to do that and
can't find straight answers that's not an option for me...
Althought...
What I forgot to mention in the first post:
This is what the beginning of actionscript is actually looking like right now and why it is working offline:
var loadXML:XML = new XML();
    loadXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    loadXML.onLoad = processXML;
    loadXML.load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=karimbizid2");
I'm getting the data direct from the Twitter server.
This procedure does'nt neceserly need a PHP file to store the XML, right?
I'm guessing it's just a visual issue why the text isn't showing.
