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.

  • SWF with TLF compiled in Flash CS5 can't be imported into Flex 4.5

    Hello there,
    Trying out Flex 4.5 preview I've run into a problem:
    In my Flex project I dynamically load various SWF files compiled in Flash CS5. These SWFs use TLF.
    With Flex 4.1 everything worked as expected, but in Flex 4.5 I get RTE(s).
    Just to be clear: if the SWF uses old classic text, Flex 4.5 displays it normally, but once you try TLF - nothing but RTE.
    Anybody has experienced that?
    I've also posted this on the TLF forum.
    I'm on OS 10.6.6, and use the prerelease version of Hero (not the latest 18623)
    Thanks,
    FTQuest

    I tried to add the newer TLF swc to FLash CS5 (pointing to it in the library path), but it didn't work.
    So, we'll wait till Flash team releases next update.
    Thanks for the clarification,

  • 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".

  • Loading child SWFs with TLF content (from Flash CS5.5) generates reference errors in FB4.6

    I am currently producing e-learning content with our custom AS3-Framework.
    We normally create content files in Flash CS5.5 with dynamic text fields, which are set at runtime from our Framework (AS3 framework in FB4.6).
    Now we are in the progress of language versioning, and since one of the languages is Arabic we are changing the dynamic text fields to TLF fields.
    Then all my problems started.
    In Flash I have chosen to include the TLF engine and to export in frame 2.
    (see to: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/loading-child-swfs-tlf-content.html )
    I get this error:
    VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of getEventMirror in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowLeafElement.
                at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
    I guess it is because our framework wants to gotoAndPlay before the TLF engine has been loaded.
    Can this be it?
    Any good suggestions on how to handle loading child SWFs with TLF content.

    Please refere to the following articles .. you may find some help.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Loading SQLite databases, and then loading onto grid

    Gidday
    Currently, my AIR app takes about 5 mins to open and load a 43mb SQLite db into a datagdrid. Is this par for the course?
    Just wondering if there is a standard way of doing this I missed.
    Flash Pro CS6
    Cheers for taking a look

    i've never loaded a sqlite db that large before, but assuming that database is local and loaded from the same harddrive containing the air app, that does not sound right.

  • 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.

  • What's the difference between classic and tlf text?

    Tried doing some googling, and beyond some non-descript answers of TLF has more functionality and causes a lot of bugs I can't find the difference between the 2.
    Wondering if I should switch all my text boxes to classic, if it would save some resources.

    Been fiddling with classic text, how do give it a name to edit it in code? There are certain aspects of TLF I am using like to display stats of a selected object or change it's backgroundColor.  For the most part I can recreate the functionality I'm using through other means, but how do I update text if it doesn't have a name?
    (added)
    Found how to do it, needed to change it to dynamic.  Thanks again for the help.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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!

  • Flash CS5.5 iOS scale and arrange content on device rotation

    Hello All-
    I am new to developing iPad/iPhone apps, and am currently using Flash CS5.5 to create an iPad app for a client. Basically, the app is a multipage form with tons of radios, text fields, and text areas. It has a header and footer with some vector graphics. So here is my problem.
    In my publish settings, i have "Auto-Rotation" checked, which works fine. The native dimensions of the app is H: 1024 W:768, so when it rotates now, it just scales everything so all the content when in landscape mode fits on the screen. But what I want is when the iPad is rotated, I want the header and footers to scale to fit the entire screen, and I want all the form areas to stay the same size. This obviously would require the user to have to "pan" up and down to see all the fields of the form.
    I attempted to use the "code snippets" to accomplish this, but it really made things quite screwy. If anyone has any sites, tutorials, or groups that address this, or if you know how to fix this, I would GREATLY appreciate your feedback.
    Thank you for your time,
    - Scott V.

    Thank you for your responses they were helpful.
    I found this article, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/screen_orientation_apis.html , which definitely helped. I ended up going with what they suggested in it, by creating two seperate movieclips that are designed for either landscape mode, or portrait mode. Pretty simple fix. Easier then rearranging all the form elements dynamically.
    Thank you,
    Scott

  • Version discrepancies in Flash CS5 and Catalyst CS5

    A few month ago using ADL compiling for mobiles I noticed that the versions of ADL and AIR differed
    in Flash CS5 and Catalyst. This caused me problems until I discovered it.
    Package/version                       adl.exe              air.dll
    Adobe Flash CS5                      2.0.1.12090       2.0.1.12090
    Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5         1.5.3.9120         2.6.0.19120
    I have seen the symptoms of this in other forums on the Internet.
    No change even though I have updated the packages (last update of Flash came 2011-07-02).
    Regards
    /Ralf

    The forums are not the place to post bugs/wishlist items.... Adobe rarely visits here.  Use the link below, though it is probably too late for CS6 since CS6 appears to be on the verge of release - you can probably get a trial version of it and see for yourself.
