F8as2-displaying leading zeros in a dynamic text field

F8as2-
Background:
Currently I have to use two different text fields to display 10000 due to the different font sizes.
The 10 is a larger font and the 000 is a smaller font. When I assign '0 'to the dynamic text fields of the smaller font I get just that a '0' not a '000' which is what I want.
Question:
Is there an easy way to display leading zeros in a dynamic text field? Or can a dynamic text field have different character positions displayed in different font sizes? or both?
Thanks for the help.

F8as2-
Thanks for the reply kglad.
Are for saying the best way to display numerically calculated numbers that need leading zeros and or different font sizes is to convert them to a string for display purposes with textFormatting??

Leading zeros in dynamic text fields

I have a dynamic text field that indicates the degree of
rotation of a knob. I need the display to have three digits showing
at all times. This means I need leading zeros from 0 to 99. ie,
000, 001, 002, etc.
Is there a way to do this numerically or do I have to change
the numbers to strings and concatenate??
Thanks,

Yes, for the most part only strings can start with leading
zeros.
You might run into some troubles because Flash treats a
leading zero as a sign that a number is octal, base-8.
So if you were planning on using Number() to cast your values
into numbers, don't! Instead use parseInt(someString,10).

Displaying leading zeroes

Hi,
I am facing a problem in displaying leading zeroes for a char in a BW report. This char has length 4 and it should show the value as 0ABC in the report but instead it displays just ABC. When checked the info providers, the data is right there.
Technical details: length - 4, Conv Routine - ALPHA, BEx display - Key & text
Could someone please throw some light on this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Bobs,
Here is what I understood from your query;
You have leading zeros for the char info object in the info provider but while running the query it is returning with the rest of the characters but not leading zeros?
Yes while loading in to info provider ALPHA conversion does add any leading zeros according to the char size to load in to the info provider but while reporting it does the reverse ALPHA. but you have to check the values in the master data for the char info object where the default option for query results on char objects to retrieve key and text values from char object master tables. I think the master data for the char info object might not be have leading zeros.

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Displaying images in dynamic text fields

Hi, I am having some difficulty getting my images to display
in a dynamic text field. The images are linked from a txt file with
the <img src=""> tag however they are not showing up in the
text area. The rest of the html are rendering fine except the image
tag. My example online is here:
www.supernaturalmedia.com.
Here is the code I used in Flash:
var style_sheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var css_url = "global.css";
style_sheet.load(css_url);
news.StyleSheet = style_sheet;
loadVariables("projects_news.txt", this.news);
My css styles also isn't loadin so i temporarily am using
html styles for formatting. I'd like to get the css to work as
well.
My movie is published as Flash Player 6, AS 2.0.
I'd appreciate any helpful advice.
Thanks,
Stanton

1. don't assign the stylesheet property of your textfield
until loading of global.css is complete. ie, use the onLoad handler
for stylesheets.
2. you have movieclip images that are linked for export and
you're using their linkage id in src property of the img
tag?

Display Leading Zeros in bex query

Hi,
I am new to BI and need to display leading zeros in bex report.
There is an info-object billing number which is of type CHAR. The values, 00001 - 00010 has been given in the CSV file.
when i generate the same in IP, the leading zeros are mentioned, but the same is not appearing in the bex query.
I have tried ALPHA conversion but this has no affect on the output.
How to achieve the same??
thanks in advance for the answers

Hi,
To answer your question in detail, there is a conversion routine at infoobject level( Tab- general ), that determines how the values are displayed in the front end. For ex, alpha conversion routine takes away the leading zeros when you display the value in query. ( 0001 displayed as 1 )
Assuming this is custom infoobject, I would suggest you to remove the conversion routine from the infoobject. This will help you in displaying leading zeros in the report.
However, you have to ensure that all the values loaded for this infoobject is properly alpha converted ( packed with leading zeros ) by adding a field routine in the transformation. This will avoid same values getting stored with different internal formats like 01,001 etc.
Hope this explains.
Thanks.

Display leading zeros in OLE

Hi Friends,
When I am writing report in OLE( excel ), some of the fields which are having leading zeros automatically deleted . It shoud not happen . I have to display leading zeros also.
Please tell me which class and method to do this ...
Thanks ,
Varma

Use OLE itself to set the formatting of the cell (or column itself) to character type
* character type for columns
data: h_columns        TYPE ole2_object,
      h_cell           TYPE ole2_object.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Columns' = h_columns
EXPORTING
    #1 = 'F:K'.
set property of h_columns 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Cells' = h_cell
EXPORTING
    #1 = 14
    #2 = 7.
SET PROPERTY OF h_cell 'Value' = '0001'.

HTML links won't display in Dynamic Text Field

I am loading external text files in dynamic text fields on my
webage. These texts contain html links (<a href="page.html"
target="_blank">Click Here</a> and I have "render as HTML"
on and "selectable" off in my dynamic text field. Also, I am
loading a CSS file. Not only do I not have a hand cursor, but I do
not even have any of the text from that piece of html code down.
What is going on with this? Please respond asap, as I have been
struggling with this for a day now. Here is the Actionscript for
loading the CSS:
var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("styles.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
} else {
trace("Error loading CSS file.");
var zloc_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
zloc_lv.load("zloc.txt");
zloc_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
} else {
trace("unable to load text file.");
zloc_txt.html = true;
zloc_txt.editable = false;
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("backgroundColor" ,
"transparent");
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("border styles" , "solid");
Here is a sample of the text file code:
&content=Northwest Arkansas
Locations
121 Main St.
Russellville, AK 77801
(626) 111-1111 
<html><a href="
http://www.mapquest.com"
target="_blank">Click Here for Driving
Directions</a></html> 
Thanks for the help,
Chuck

The error is here:
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
Even if you rendered the textfield as HTML, you still need to
tell flash that the variable you are inserting is HTML. Therefore
you need to use the htmlText property.
zloc_txt.htmlText = this.content;

Linking a class to a dynamic text field to load XML data.

Hi,
I'm quite new to ActionScript and would be grateful for any help here.
I want to load text into a dynamic text field (called 'about_tab') using a class depending on the language selected (by clicking on a flag icon) by the user.
I managed to get this to work when the ActionScript was written directly in the timeline, but am having problems with doing the same thing via a class.
This is my class file:
package
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
public class ChangeLang extends SimpleButton
public function ChangeLang()
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, switchLang);
trace("ChangeLang class working");
public function switchLang(event:MouseEvent):void
var lang = event.target.name;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("languages/"+lang+".xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var substance:XML;
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
trace("function xmlLoaded is running");
substance = new XML(loader.data);
about_tab.text = substance.about_lbl;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
loader.load(req);
Here's one of my XML files (the other is the same except "About" is written in German):
<substance>
<about_lbl>About</about_lbl>
</substance>
When I run it, it returns my trace statements that the class ChangeLang and the function xmlLoaded are running, but no text appears in the dynamic text field (I should/want to see the word 'About'). I get this error message:
1120: Access of undefined property about_tab
The problem, I'm guessing, is in the part in red in my code. I think I need to target the text field in the display list by creating a reference to it. If so, could someonw point out how I do this, or perhaps a tutorial that would help. I've tried adding the word stage (i.e.,stage.about_tab.text = substance.about_lbl; ) but it still doesn't connect. I guess there's something really simple I'm missing, so I apologize if this comes across as a stupid question
Thanks for any help.

Hello flashrocket!
I'm also new to AS3 and I've just started using external classes and I think I know what you should do to put your code to work.
Instead of using the text field you created inside your flash file, why don't you use the "TextField" class to create an instance of this object? It's the exact same thing as when you create and instantiate a new text field inside Flash.
First, import flash.text.*; (includes classes like TextField, TextFieldAutoSize, TextFormat, TextFormatAlign, etc)
Than you just have to create a var like
public var about_tab : TextField;
or
public var about_tab : TextField = new TextField();
then, to adjust the properties of this tab you use dotsyntax as if it where on your stage like:
about_tab.x = 50; about_tab.alpha = .5; etc...
you can even create a function to "config your textField"
 private function createAndConfigTextField() : void {
 about_tab = new TextField(); //you only need this line if you
 // only typed something like "public var about_tab:TextField;
 // if instead you used "public var about_tab:TextField = new TextField(); outside
 // this function, just skip this first line because you already have an instance of
 // text field named "about_tab"...
 about_tab.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
 about_tab.background = true;
 about_tab.border = true;
 var aboutTextFormat : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
 format.font = "Arial";
 format.color = 0x000000;
 format.size = 11;
 format.bold = true;
 format.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
 about_tab.defaultTextFormat = aboutTextFormat;
 addChild(about_tab);
This is just an example of what you can do... I hope you get it... let me know if you have any doubt...

Dynamic Text Field Wont Wrap Text

I have a Dynamic Text field in my movie clip. This text field has embedded fonts and Behavior is set to Multiline. When I add text to it, it wont display the text that wraps beyond the first line.
var textField:TextField = tip_txt; // text field inside my movie clip
trace("before textField.numLines = " + textField.numLines);
textField.text = "test a verrrrry looooooooong striiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggg";
trace("after textField.numLines = " + textField.numLines);
The trace commands show that the number of lines are increasing but Flash doesn't display the text beyond the first line. Does anyone have any idea whats going on?
Thanks!

textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
This fixed the issue : )

Connecting a CSS doc to an XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash

Hi all,
I am trying to connect a CSS file such that it applies it
self to the content of an XML file, viewed inside a dynamic text
field. So far I have managed to gather the code that "calls" the
contents of the XML file and also the code that calls the CSS file.
However, when I test the flash movie I get "undefined" instead of
the actual copy.
Attached then is the the AS code, XML file, and CSS file. I
hope you could help me connect everything together.
And of course, THANKS!!

Adding a progress loader to a dynamic text field / scrollPane

I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
 trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
 trace("LOADED");
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or of another approach?
thanks in advance,
Josh

If else conditional statements for dynamic text fields (as 2.0)

This is about a self assesment quiz.There will be four options and each one has a scale from1-5 ie "option a" has 1mark, "option b" has 2marks,"option c" has 3 marks, "option d" has 4marks and "option e" has 5 marks and we count the answerd and we display the scor for example if there are 20 question in it if they answered "option e" 5 times the score will be
25 and option d 5 times the score will be 20,anf if "option c" for 5 times the score will be 15,and "option b" for 3 times the score will be 6 and "option a" two times the score will be 2, and we add up all the score and display in a dynamic text field called "scor" and the total score is 68.And i have another dynamic text field called "tsc" where i have to display the tags like excellent , good, better ......ect.
Till now every thing is fine but i am unable to compare them it is displaying excellent even if i get 10 marks, i am unable to configure where i am going wrong.
If the score is greater than 55 "tsc" should display Excellent, if the score is greater than 41 or less than 55 "tsc" should display Best, if the score is greater than 26 or less than 40 "tsc" should display Better,if the score is none of the above "tsc" should display Poor.
This is my code on the submit button:
on (release) {
 gotoAndStop("sQ");
 if (scor>=55) {
 tsc = "Excellent";
 } else if (scor == 41 && scor<=55) {
 tsc = "Best";
 } else if (scor == 26 && scor<=40) {
 tsc = "Better";
 } else if (scor == 10 && scor<=25) {
 tsc = "Good";
 } else {
 tsc = "Poor";
where:
"sQ" is the frame name where i am displaying the score details
"scor" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying total score
"tsc" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying the tags llike good, Excellent, better, poor.....etc
Plese help.......

Use trace commands to make sure that what you think you are processing is what is actually hapenning.
Your middle conditionals are not written as you described them... any "==" should be ">="
It is recommended you get away from using the textfield var option... it can be troublesome to work with. Just assign an instance name to the textfield and assign the values to its text property... for instance, say you name it tscField, then you would use tscField.text = "Excellent";
Also, realize that the gotoAndStop command will not happen until after all the code executes in case that matters
on (release) {
 gotoAndStop("sQ");
 trace(scor);
 if (scor>=55) {
 tsc = "Excellent";
 } else if (scor >= 41 && scor<=55) {
 tsc = "Best";
 } else if (scor >= 26 && scor<=40) {
 tsc = "Better";
 } else if (scor >= 10 && scor<=25) {
 tsc = "Good";
 } else {
 tsc = "Poor";

Embed Fonts in Dynamic Text Fields

Hey, I am relatively new around here although I've been a
member for years. I am just now starting to utilize my account. I
do have a question in regards to embedding fonts in Flash 8. I have
read up on this numerous places and haven't been able to find a
solution that works for me, whether this my user error or not is
still TBD.
I am loading text from a XML document into Flash dynamic text
fields. I need to be using a handwritting font for these text
fields. After embedding the handwritten font they are not
displaying in my dynamic fields but are displaying in my static
text fields that am I also using on the site. I am controlling my
dynamic text fields w/ an external stylesheet. I believe I must do
something "additional" for these dynamic text fields but haven't
figured out what that is, any help anyone can offer is much
appreciated! Thanks.

the question is a bit too general. There are many ways to
approach it, from copies
of text fields with that font off stage, to embedded outlines
and linkage in the library.
My guess is that somewhere on the way you did not fully
complete the outline embed options.
Either done incorrectly or you miss some action.
Mind to post detail explanation how you embed the outlines?
Best if you post an example
file for us to check.
