How to style dynamically loading text?

Hi,
I am dynamically loading a .txt file into CS3 using
ActionScript 3.0. I want to style the text using CSS/HTML. The only
thing I can get to function using CSS/HTML is the "a tag", I can't
seem to get bold, colour, font, etc working. Should i be using CSS
or should I be doing this styling from ActionScript in the swf
files? I have checked the help files but I could get their tags to
work.
Any suggestions very welcome.
Thanks.

you will have more control over all of this if you feed in an
xml file rather than a txt file. you can stipulate your class
attributes within the xml then
if you want to style the dynamic content using just your txt
file and the controls within the fla you could embed the typeface
glyphs you want to use within your output swf file and colour them
/ change weight etc within the fla
hope that is of some use
;-)

How to make Dynamically Shortened Text With "Show More"

Hi there! i want to know how to make dynamically shortened text with show more or read more in my website using HTML 5 pages or ASP.NET ?
example like these paragraphs
Lorem Ipsum är en utfyllnadstext från tryck- och förlagsindustrin. Lorem ipsum har varit standard ända sedan 1500-talet, när en okänd boksättare tog att antal bokstäver och blandade dem för att göra ett provexemplar av en bok. Lorem ipsum har inte bara överlevt fem århundraden, utan även övergången till elektronisk typografi utan större förändringar. Det blev allmänt känt på 1960-talet i samband med lanseringen av Letraset-ark med avsnitt av Lorem Ipsum, och senare med mjukvaror som Aldus PageMaker.
Det är ett välkänt faktum att läsare distraheras av läsbar text på en sida när man skall studera layouten. Poängen med Lorem Ipsum är att det ger ett normalt ordflöde, till skillnad från "Text här, Text här", och ger intryck av att vara läsbar text. Många publiseringprogram och webbutvecklare använder Lorem Ipsum som test-text, och en sökning efter "Lorem Ipsum" avslöjar många webbsidor under uteckling. Olika versioner har dykt upp under åren, ibland av olyckshändelse, ibland med flit (mer eller mindre humoristiska).
I motsättning till vad många tror, är inte Lorem Ipsum slumvisa ord. Det har sina rötter i ett stycke klassiskt litteratur på latin från 45 år före år 0, och är alltså över 2000 år gammalt. Richard McClintock, en professor i latin på Hampden-Sydney College i Virginia, översatte ett av de mer ovanliga orden, consectetur, från ett stycke Lorem Ipsum och fann dess ursprung genom att studera användningen av dessa ord i klassisk litteratur. Lorem Ipsum kommer från styckena 1.10.32 och 1.10.33 av "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (Ytterligheterna av ont och gott) av Cicero, skriven 45 före år 0. Boken är en avhandling i teorier om etik, och var väldigt populär under renäsanssen. Den inledande meningen i Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet...", kommer från stycke 1.10.32.
Den ursprungliga Lorem Ipsum-texten från 1500-talet är återgiven nedan för de intresserade. Styckena 1.10.32 och 1.10.33 från "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" av Cicero hittar du också i deras originala form, åtföljda av de engelska översättningarna av H. Rackham från 1914.

Moved to the main Dreamweaver support forum.
There are several ways you could approach this. Here's one you might try:
Give the first paragraph an ID, such as "first", and wrap the paragraphs you want to hide in a <div> with another ID, such as "more". Then add the following block of JavaScript just before the closing </body> tag of the page:
<script>
var first = document.getElementById('first'),
     more = document.getElementById('more'),
     trigger = document.createElement('span');
trigger.id = 'trigger';
trigger.innerHTML = 'Show less';
first.appendChild(trigger);
function toggleDiv() {
var state = more.className,
       text = trigger.innerHTML;
more.className = (state == 'open') ? 'closed' : 'open';
trigger.innerHTML = (text == 'Show more') ? 'Show less' : 'Show more';
toggleDiv();
if (trigger.addEventListener) {
    trigger.addEventListener('click', toggleDiv, false);
} else if (trigger.attachEvent) {
trigger.attachEvent('onclick', toggleDiv);
} else {
trigger.onclick = toggleDiv;
</script>
This gets references to the "first" paragraph and the "more" <div>. It also creates a <span> with the ID "trigger" that's appended to the "first" paragraph. The rest of the script defines a function called toggleDiv(), which toggles the "more" <div> open and closed, and changes the text in the "trigger" <span>.
You also need to create the following style rules for the various elements:
<style>
#trigger {
    text-decoration: underline;
    color: blue;
    cursor: pointer;
#more {
    transition: ease-out .7s;
    overflow: hidden;
#more p:first-child {
    margin-top: 0;
#more.closed {
    height: 0;
    -webkit-transform: translateY(-600px);
    transform: translateY(-600px);
#more.open {
    -webkit-transform: translateY(0);
    transform: translateY(0);
    max-height: 600px;
#more + p {
    margin-top: 0;
</style>
This solution hides the text and creates the "trigger" <span> only if JavaScript is enabled in the browser. It should work in all browsers, including Internet Explorer 8 and earlier.

Problem displaying dynamically loaded text in Flash CS3

I created a Flash CS3 application that does not display
dynamically loaded text (from internal AS3 scripts) on 3/6 of my
client's computers. All computers run IE 6 and Flash Player 9. I
cannot replicate the problem on any computer in my department. The
problem seems to be related to Flash Player 9 or a browser
setting/IT restriction. Has anyone encountered this? If so, have
you found a solution?
If I cannot find a solution, then I will need to almost
completely redo the application.
One slightly insane idea I have considered is to, if
possible, convert dynamically loaded text to an image real-time. Is
that possible?
Btw, I have created a font in my library. Should I try
manually embedding the font from the Properties menu and selecting
all characters?
Thanks in advance.

yes, even though you may be using a font from the library,
you still have to specify that each text field that uses that font
embeds the font, and you'll need to select all characters(well not
all, unless you require all the different scripts of the world -
upper-case, lower-case, numerals and punctuation usual suffices).
I bet if you checked, the computers where the font did not
appear did not have the font on their system.
Good luck

How do I dynamically load a SWF that was compiled from an Fla with a linked external class file

I am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images.
The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it.
i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)
2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before
So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?
Would appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks!

despite what you say, that loaded swf most likely is loading something and that's the cause of the error.
you could test that by putting the main swf's embedding html file in the same directory with problematic swf. if the problem is as explained above, you'll have no problem when the main html is in the same directory with the loaded swf.

How to ADD dynamic header text to Right hand Corner of IDR -FPM OVP/OIF

Hi,
How can we add dynamic header text to right hand side corner in FPM OVP?
I know we can handle left hand side.. but i do need simultaneously right hand side..
ANy thoughts??
Rgds
Tarun

I am not sure how it is arranged in 7.02, in 7.01 IDR layout is flow layout so you cannot have layouts other than that. I thought that this has been changed in 7.02 to accommodate the matrix layout. I am not sure about it. If this was true then you can try to play with the layout to fit right hand side. It is not easy though.

How exactly can I load TEXT DATA to a Hyperion Planning application?

I have a data file that has TEXT data that I want to load to planning. I do not wish for this text data to be displayed in a Smart List, rather I want to use the new Planning data type "Text"
In chapter 5 of the Planning Admin Guide in the Matrix for Data Load Tools, it says the Planning Outline Load Utility can load Text Data values.
I can't make sense out of the the instructions to load data with this utility. Can someone please help me?

Hi John,
I like your idea of flipping the Data Load Dimension and the Driver Dimension. Unfortunately Planning won't let me set Period as a Data Load Dimension.
I only get Account, CCCC, Employee, SCCC, and SAU_CAU_Facility (5 of the 11 dimensions in this application).
So that's why I set the Data Load Dimension and the Driver Dimension as I did. It ran but with some kickouts on missing members. So 16 of the 19 records I sent processed and I understand why these three kicked out in the error file:_

How to unload dynamically loaded modules?

Hi,
I have a problem with unloading module, which I loads dynamically.
Here is a fragment my code:
<TitledWindow .......creationComplete="init()"/>
<mx:Accordion id="lista_ryzyk">
</mx:Accordion>
<mx:Script>
public function init():void
{    CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().addEventListener(LoadRisksEvent.EVENT_RESULT, populateAccordion);
public function populateAccordion(event:CairngormEvent):void
     lista_ryzyk.removeAllChildern();
     for (i in risks)
          var m:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();
          m.url = path_to_module;
          m.label = module_label;
          m.loadModule();
     lista_ryzyk.addChildAt(m,Number(i));
</mx:Script>
The modules loads fine. Each module adds own eventListener for some event. It works fine, but ONLY for first time. For next invoke populateAccordion function, the modules loads, but don't reacts for event. I investigate !!! that for events reacts that modules, which was loaded for the first time!!! How to remove it????

Using array, didn't solve my problem, but it is possible that I'm doing something wrong.
I still can't catch event in second time loaded module :-((( I have tried to solve this problem from wednesday! it goes me crazy!
Could you, or anybody, try to inspect my code and help me? I have no idea how to manage it.
I know exactly what is wrong, but I can't improve that. In module's creationComplete function I display the UID of this module, and in body of eventHandler function I do the same. In case of FIRST time the displayed UID are the same, but when I load the module second time, the UID of the loaded module displayed in creationComplete function is new, but the UID displayed in handler function is the same as the first loaded module. So my event is catch by the wrong modul, and I don'tknow how to change it, how to process event in my newly loaded module.

How to fetch dynamically generated text file

Caveat: I'm actually using CSP, not JSP, but the scripting methods are very similar. A JSP answer will probably apply to CSP as well.
Currently, I have a dynamic content page that which I fetch on a submit action using response->getRedirectURL("xxx") where xxx is the URL of the dynamic page. The page displays fine in the browser, but what I would like to have it do is cause a file save dialog to appear so that the user can save the page as a text file.

Set the MIME/ content type to "text/plain"
You then need to tell the browser to not try and render the contents but to treat it as an attachment.
Set the header "Content-Disposition" with the value "attachment; filename="yourFilenameHere".
And you do realize, posting about CSP here might get you flamed :)

Dynamically loading text into SWF

I'm building a flash web site and here are a couple parts of
the site the client is going to want to update regularly. Is there
a simple way that I can have an external file (XML?) that a client
can edit to update parts of the site without having to re-export
the swf or involve me, without getting into any real heavy
scripting?
Anything you can do to get me pointed in the right direction
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Couple of quick questions... For the Textfields:
a)Do you have the textfields already on stage (in other words
your "5 or so" comment in your first post is fixed to the number of
textfields you put on stage). If so, what the names of the
textfields and in what scope (e.g. main timeline or inside a clip
called "textHolder" etc.
b)Or do you want them created dynamically by code? If they
are to be created dynamically by code, are they to be placed in
fixed (scattered) locations or is there a pattern - e.g. are evenly
spaced? If the positions are fixed and do not fall into pattern...
then what are they (in sequence) or if they are in a layout pattern
please describe it.

How Can I Dynamically Load And Run Another VI In Parallel To My Main VI?

Hi,
This question is supposed to be answered here.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/CB109EC8325252A18625735B0049830B
where it points to the example file

However, this file is not there at the above link. Would appreciate if someone can share this program with me or any other advise.
Thanks,
Pulkit
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am attaching a VI that does this if you provide the path of the VI you want to launch dynamically (LV 8.5).
HTH.
PS: if the VI is already opened, it just brings it to the front (you may want that, if not, just remove that case and the corresponding test).

How to resize dynamically loaded Base64 Image?

Hi all,
I'm currently writing a flex component which renders a
formular from a
xml definition file. I get the image as Base64 and decode it
whith some
flex internal methods.
private function addBgImage(base64Image:String):void{
var base64Decoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
base64Decoder.decode(base64Image);
var byteArray:ByteArray = base64Decoder.flush();
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes( byteArray );
var img:Image = new Image();
img.addChild(loader);
this.addChild(img);
This works fine. Now i want to resize the image, but nothing
works. I
tried:
img.width = 100;
img.maxWidth = 100;
img.explicitWidth = 100;
loader.width = 100;
But nothing works. Can somebody help me? Do I need to wait
till the
ByteArray is loaded?
Best regards,
Christian

solved.
solution:
I have to wait till the loader finished loading and then i
can resize the image in this method.
private var loader:Loader;
private function addBgImage(base64Image:String):void{
var base64Decoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
base64Decoder.decode(base64Image);
var byteArray:ByteArray = base64Decoder.flush();
loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes( byteArray );
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoaded);
var img:Image = new Image();
img.addChild(loader);
this.addChild(img);
private function imgLoaded(event:Event):void{
loader.width = 100;
}

Dynamically loaded content?

Can Catalyst (current beta) dynamically load text and images? If not, will the release version have this capability?

You can create a SWF file with Flash CS3 or CS4, to load textes or images dynamically.
Then you import ("Import Artwork ...") the SWF file into Catalyst. That s all.
More details (as far as i know) :
- if you write actionscript, dont use the "root" keyword (as the SWF ll be embed in the Catalyst project)
- if you need extra files (ex: a TXT file to set which image has to be loaded), paste them in the "src/assets" directory (from the "code view" of Catalyst)
- if you need to edit such files : open them with the "system application" (again, from the "code view")

How to load text file

Dear All,
How is it possible load a text file that contain SQL commands in the form and then execute the commands.
Regards

Hello,
You can have dynamic SQL within the Forms module via the EXEC_SQL package, but it is not really made to execute a whole file content.
You could write a databased function (or procedure) that uses the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE instruction, then call this procedure from Forms.
Anyway, I think that in all cases, you probably have to split your text file in several comprehensives single SQL orders, or at least send entire PL/SQL blocks.

How to make mouseover scroll buttons attached to textarea with external loaded text ?

Hi,
I am working in Flash CS3 and AS3, and I'm not good in
scripting.
I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an
external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to
start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop
scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage:
http://boomjinx.com/
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to
script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even
though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to
scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar. This problem is
starting to drive me crazy!! Is there anyone that have a recipe for
this??

Here's one approach:
First you need to create a dynamic mutline textfield that has
autoSize properties set to handle a varying amount of text.
Then you need to embed the font because you are going to use
a mask over the textfield to define the viewable area of it.
Then you will use the buttons to change the textfield's y
property to move the textfield up/down vertically. You will
probably need to use an ENTER_FRAME event handler so that a
continuous hovering of a button will cause the textfield to
continue moving until it either reaches one end or the other or
when the hovering ends.
Before you try to tackle that though, just make it so that
hovering a button will cause the textfield to move up or down one
increment of distance. Just take it one step at a time.
