Printing - With Dynamic Text Fields

Hello,
i wonder if anyone can help me........i know there are a lot
of posts already on how to print out dynamic text but all of them
seem to be using scrolling text fields.
However my problem isn't even as complex as this but i still
can't work it out.
At the moment i have a form of text boxes which the user
inputs text.............from here there is a print
button.........in order to compile all of the answers together i
have created a movie clip.........with the layout of the printed
page on it, and placed this on the main timeline. Inside this movie
clip to be printed i have dynamic text fields...which link to the
text fields which the users inputted data in, therefore both sets
of text fields contain the same data, when you change one the other
should change.
I have set up a very simple printJob command to print out the
movie clip named print_mc and it prints the page even the outline
of the text boxes but it doesn't print out the content which
appears on the screen. my code is attached below.......please if
anyone could help i would be very grateful :)
print_btn.onRelease = function() {
_global.aOneVar =oneAPone.text;
_global.aTwoVar =oneAPtwo.text;
print_mc.gotoAndStop("2");
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var result:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();
if (result) {
myPrintJob.addPage("print_mc", null, {printAsBitmap:false},
2);
myPrintJob.send();
delete myPrintJob;
} else {
thanks

I'm with ya. Presumably, then there's a font symbol in your
Library,
right? And its Linkage identifier is "arial_font"?
> If I keep the xml/css but comment out embedFonts, then

That's because your CSS calls for Franklin Gothic Book,
which hasn't
been imported into your Library as a font symbol (at least,
you haven't said
it has).
> I need both of these to work at the same time.
Give Franklin Gothic Book a Linkage identifier, and use that
name in
your CSS.

Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field

Hi,
Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field and also each item's Text field?"
When we enter a invoice we enter a generic text on the Basic Data tab then enter a "+" on each individual line item which in turns defaults to the generic text. Just wanted to know if the check register could draw in the individual line item detail where we can enter text that relates to just that line item. Sort of like the MIR7 draws in the detail for each item.
Kindly help me in full fill the above requirement.
Thanks

Use 2 different fonts in a dynamic text field with tf.htmlText?

i've got a dynamic text field on the screen and all of my
fonts embedded. is it possible to use 2 different fonts when
dynamically setting the fields text with the htmlText property?
i've tried the and the <textformat> tags and
neither work. I can set it once via a texformat object, but that's
it.
thanks

you're answering all of my questions today aren't you? :)
right, i think this will be hard since my data is all comming
from XML and i have no way to specifically set text ranges as
different fonts within a string.
i've told the developers to just use images for the special
characters.

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!!

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...

Load multiple parts of an XML file into one dynamic Text Field

Hi I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field.
I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.
Any tips please?
Thanks

In essence you can just do:
TextField.text = XML.node1 + XML.node2;

Dynamic Text Field Scrolling

I have a dynamic text field that I want to add a UIScrollBar
to. The dynamic text field has an rssreader attatched to it so it
is reading from an xml file on the same server. When I attatch it
and go to preview my movie, it doesn't work. There is just a white
rectangle on the right side of the box with no arrows or thumb box.
I can drag my mouse over the text and highlight everything, but I
cannot get the scrollbar to work at all. I've checked to make sure
that my scrollbar is connected to my text instance. Is there
something special about dynamic text that I don't know about? Will
it only work at runtime?

Dynamic Text Field

I've created a dynamic text field where I've insert into a lot of HTML code.
Since it's too much long I've used a default scrollbar and simply dropped it onto the field so that It's linked to that.
When I try it the bar is there but I can just see the upper arrow and the bottom one; the middle part isn't visible and I can't scroll down the HTML content.
Any idea?

It's possible it will work in AS3 since I just tried it 1) didn't kick up an error, and 2) worked (using your code, so I don't know what your problem really is).
That's the trouble with having languages that allow similar things to be coded differently... it can sometimes be hard to tell. It's bad enough there are usually numerous ways to approach a design.
If I were setting an autoSize I would be using (based on the help docs)...
links.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

Dynamic Text Field Height (k)

I have generated a dynamic Text Field through ActionScript
(actually it
generates a bunch)
this["char"+ii].createTextField("true_txt", 997+ii, 0, 0, 1,
1);
Everything is working well, with one exception. I have the
font, size,
color done through ActionScript. The particular font I am
using,
ElanBook is getting cut off in the Text Field slightly.
I've tried a number of methods to get the text field taller,
but no
dice. Is there a way to specify that the text align within a
Text Field
to the center, bottom, baseline, etc. using ActionScript?
-Kirk

no, but you can size your textfield using any number of
textfield properties. in particular, you should check the autoSize
property.

Loading swf file with dynamic text

For a website I'm creating I'm going to have a main swf file
that loads individual swf files for each page. Each page's swf file
loads in external text files through dynamic text boxes so i can
edit the website easily. To load the swf files into the main swf
file I'm using the loader component. Everything works fine except
thedynamic text boxes of the swf files that are nestled in the main
one do not load properly. Instead, in each text box i get a message
similar to this:
_level0.NewsLoader.contentHolder.News1
NewsLoader is the instance of the loader component, and News1
is a variable called in through a dynamic text field from the html
document entitled News1.html. The individual news swf file loads
the text properly, but when the news swf file is loaded into the
main swf file the text is replaced with the message above.
Any suggestions?

the problem might be due to the changed references if you
load the movie into another one.
is NewsLoader a MovieClip instance inside the main movie or
inside the mc that is loaded into the main movie?
If it resides inside the exteranly loaded movie, you will
either need to use the lockroot attribute or use a relative
reference to the News1 variable.
Since the _level0 always points to the _root timeline (the
one of the outer most movieclip) _level0 used in the external mc is
different once the external movieclip is loaded into another movie.
I suggest only using relative references, makes live much
easier.

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!!

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?

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
