Text in Fla - External CSS

Hi - I have htmlText inside my FLA and I'm trying to link it
to, and apply an external CSS. I don't want to use an external html
file for the text in my TextField, and I don't wnat to use
TextFormat formatting in the FLA code.
I THINK I have the right code to grab a TextField.StyleSheet
but it's not being applied.
I can't seem to put these two together. Am I using the
correct approach?
Thanks for your help.

Lon -
Thanks. That works perfectly!

AS3 - External CSS and External text

I'm going nuts here. I have successfully loaded text from an
external file. I have successfully loaded styles from external CSS.
Trace appear to confirm that both have loaded. My Problem is that I
cannot get the styles to apply to the text.
I thought that perhaps it was a sequence issue and have tried
to make sure that the CSS loads before the HTML. I have also
attempted to apply the style by using a button event (but did not
include that code) just for testing but that did not work either. I
did apply the same CSS to text typed in Flash and that was styled
correctly - just to confirm that the CSS was valid.
Anyone see what my problem is? Thanks

Help with delivering dynamic text through an external file, through XML?

I'm struggling to find the best way to deliver dynamic text
from an external file, through XML, to a Flash file.
I use small Flash pieces to deliver multiple sets of content
through a single .swf file. An example is here:
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/government/federal.asp
In the .swf file at the bottom, I'm using a three-scene .fla
file. I'm putting the actionScript in the Actions layer atop each
frame. Example:
stop ();
loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
loadVarsText.load("fedNews.txt");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.html=true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
In that .txt file, I'm putting the information like this:
var1=<font face="tahoma,verdana,sans-serif" size="11px"
color="#000000"><b><a href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>DAU
Grants ESI Course CON353
Equivalency</a></b><br>Advanced Business Solution
in Contracting (CON 353) is an equivalency for DAU's CON 3535
course, Advanced Business Solutions for Mission Support. <a
href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'><U><font
color="#996633">Continue</font></U></a></font>
So much of this is pick-ups from what I've researched in
Google. I'm looking for a way I can feel more confident in my code,
and also have that code follow CSS.
Lastly, I recognize the problems in XML with using single
quotes / double quotes, and the & symbol. This is one of my
largest time sucks, and I'd like to find a better way to do this.
Thank you

Hi,
Did you ever find a resolution to this? I'm having a similar
issue that I can't seem to get multiline dynamic text working in
CS3.
The font is embedded but it just displays the first line, and
then a blank. I'm sure this worked fine in Flash MX.
Cheers, Ant

* I kept the external CSS file inside repository-> my application folder.
2. During runtime, getting javascript error while selecting '-' option from filter panel.
3. Unable to select or type dimension name under "dimension filer component" properties.
4. Getting runtime error for dropdown list, and I have inserted the following code under "onStartup" option of Application component properties.

Template that does not let an external css to be attached

Hi
i have a template with en editable region for mainContent.
and it is applied to all the pages in my site.
now i want to attach an external css file to one of the pages
that is based on that template, and i get this message:
"a request to create a new style, link or import failed. if
you work with an instance of a template, make sure that you have an
editable region in the head tag".
so i went to my template and selected all the head tag and
made it an editable region.
but i still get the same message.
what can i do?
best regards

I am having the exact same problem but my template was saved as a template. I created a page from my template and made editable regions, when I go to create a style it tells me "A request to create a new STYLE, LINK, or IMPORT failed. If you are working with an instance of a template, make certain that there is an editable region within the head tag." I've tried making an editable region within the head tag and it still doesn't work.
Here is my code.

How to use external CSS for standard items ?

Hi,
I would like to use my external CSS style-sheet for the standard items I add to my portal page.
I build an UI template with a CSS-link to my css style-sheet, and I used this UI template for my portal page. But it seems that items cannot use this UI template CSS reference.
Is there a way to use external CSS on standard items (text, url,...) ?
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
JC.AUDARD

Easiest way I find to do it is to drop your css file in the portal/images folder. Make a hidden html portlet on your template and link to /images/mycss.css. You can then use it for many items such as text, links, html portlets, etc.

Loading an external CSS stylesheet

I am new to Flash and trying to get an external CSS
stylesheet to work correctly. I loaded the following sample code
from the Adobe help files but the html text does not format
correctly? If I add a StyleSheet object , then it will format just
fine. The external CSS file is in the same directory as the SWF
file and I'm not getting any error messages. Using IE7 and Flash
Player 9.0.115....Any help would be much appreciated.

you can use something like the following to make your code
more eyeball friendly:

External CSS file?

Do I have to write a CSS rule for every symbol and element in a presentation or can I just specify a general rule for the whole thing?
For example, how can I specify that all images should have a red border, or all links should change color on hover?
Shouldn't I be able to create a separate CSS file as in Dreamweaver and just attach it?
Thanks

Can i get you to elaborate on this statement? This sounds like something that will work for me.
I have a text box in my edge composition with a scroll overflow. I have added a class to that text box equivalent to that established in an external css file. In that css i have items to change the look of the scroll bar, text color, and background color.
I need a little guidance how to fit all these pieces together.

Found 7 errors in external css files

I am using CS3 and set up the slide show successfully, I ran the "check Browser Compatibility and I get this error,

TextArea component & external css

hello, i have searched but not found an answer...
i can style the text with an internal style sheet (within the
flash file), but i wonder if this can be done on a textArea from an
external CSS?
thank you.

I should've seen that it was for textArea component but I've
got it now.
Yes it still can be done , a nice tutorial:

Edge Animate 1.0 and external css

Hello and Happy Friday All,
I'm having issues getting an external css to work inside my Edge Animate project.
I'm importing the css like so on the compositionReady area of the stage actions:
$("<link/>",{"rel":"stylesheet", "type":"text/css", "href":"mmt_stylesheet.css" }).appendTo("#Stage");
My css is in the same directory as the rest of my edge files.
In my css file I have things written like so:
#Stage_#testing {
font-color: rgba (255,255,255,0.6)!important;
#Stage_#testing2 {
background-color: #0F0 !important;
width: 600px !important;
In my edge file I have one text file on the stage with the instant name of testing and a symbol of a simple rectangle with the instant name of testing2.
I am not seeing any styling when I previw the edge project. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

IE 10 - Sorry but I am new to this and do not know what you mean by "prefixes"
I have also tried this in Chrome and Firefox and the jpg does not load.
Do you know of another way of doing this? I thought it would be easy in Animate but it just seems very complex.
If I do this in a HTML page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="mmt_stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="earth"></div>
</body>
</html>
With a css file of
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#earth {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: url(http://www.noirextreme.com/digital/Earth-Color4096.jpg);
border-radius: 50%;
background-size: 210px;
box-shadow: inset 16px 0 40px 6px rgb(0, 0, 0),
inset -3px 0 6px 2px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
animation-name: rotate;
animation-duration: 4s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-timing-function: linear;
@keyframes rotate {
from { background-position-x: 0px; }
to { background-position-x: 210px; }
This works fine in all browsers - add this to Edge and it does not work.

Using an external css in Flex 4

I'm using the Flex 4 beta and the ability to load an external css seems to be broken. Running the code below shows no styling at all. Have I missed something?

Thanks for the quick response dj_page. I definitely expect compression when creating jpegs but this kind of shocked me especially since I was starting with a jpeg.
The pixel count difference is indeed the result of cropping so that's expected.
After some experimentation with exporting files as jpeg and then comparing them to the file created as a result of "Edit in..." it seems that it would take a quality setting of 60 in LR Export to create a file of the same size that's created by Edit In. That's lower than what I thought was the LR default of 75 and definitely produces visible degradation.
Maybe someone who uses Edit In... can either confirm that there's a problem (and hopefully a workaround) or that it must be something with my setup.

External CSS file not working in IE

My external style sheet works in every browser except IE. The
compatibilty check also tells me about the error with the external
css. Strangely, I only notice that it affects my headers.

Try this
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

CssRules for external css

Hi,
I try to add styles to combo in Rich Text Editor and after that RTE stop working.
After some debuging I find out that browsers like Firefox and Chrome don't allow to call cssRules on external css files and this java script fails, it cause that rte don't work.
Thanks,
Bartek

The enhancement request is in place to support external resources.
As a workaround overlay richtext.js and modify to [1].
[1]
try{
rules = styleToCheck.cssRules;
ruleCnt = rules.length;
catch(err){
ruleCnt=0;

Frustrated with external css link

I had an external css link that was working in edge version 2014.0, then I upgraded to 2014.1 and edge will no longer link to the external css link that it would before. (The reason I have an external css is that I have some elements that I am adding thru javascript to the stage later so that I don't clutter up the stage - these elements added later were then styled with my external css but now it doesn't work). I was able to get the css to link before by manually adding the css in the edge_Preload.js:
aLoader = [
      { load: "edge_includes/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"},
      { load: "edge_includes/edge.4.0.0.min.js"},
      { load: "js/rollarCoasterQuestionsMain.js", user: true },
      { load: "js/rollarCoasterQuestion1.js", user: true },
      { load: "js/rollarCoasterQuestion2.js", user: true },
      { load: "js/rollarCoasterQuestion3.js", user: true },
      { load: "js/rollarCoasterQuestion4.js", user: true },
{ load: "css/rollarCoasterQuestionsMain.css"},                 //this was the added line that worked before
      { load: "js/jquery.cookie.js", user: true },
      { load: "rollarCoasterR1_edge.js"},
      { load: "rollarCoasterR1_edgeActions.js"}];
It no longer works allowing me to add the external stylesheet this way... so I'm looking for a new way but going through the forum I've found the following examples that I haven't gotten to work:
Putting this in the stage code (technically is in the edgeActions.js file): sym.$("<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/rollarCoasterQuestionsMain.css'>").appendTo("#Stage");   //couldn't get this to work
Then tried putting this in my external javascript file just to try it another way but it diddn't work either (in my js/rollarCoasterQuestionsMain.js file):
$( "#Stage" ).append( "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='../css/rollarCoasterQuestionsMain.css'>" );   // but this didn't work either
Please help

Actually in most of my Edge projects I'm using webfonts.
When doing this I also add an external stylesheet like below. (Located in the library, fonts tab)
Once done the stylesheet works too, without any other coding.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Lester.
