Using dynamic text question

I have a client's psd file that has text using Gil Sans
regular and lite, I need to create a flash document where the text
has to be dynamic. Is there a way to take an example " hello there"
and use Gil Sans lite for "hello" and gil sans regular for "there"
as well as change colors from word to word in one text
field?

You would need to tinker with the htmlText property of a
textfield. Instead of assigning tfield.text = .... you would be
assigning tfield.htmlText = ... and would be using html tags to
control the appearance. There may be problems with the fonts if the
viewer doesn't possess them. I don't think you can embed mutliple
fonts in a textfield, but you may be able to fake it using a bold
tag. Flash only supports a small number of html elements.

  • Using dynamic text in Flash Builder

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get some dynamic text to my web page. The text is readed from .txt file
    I use AS script which i was using in a project I made with Flash Pro and now i try to implement it in Flash Builder project
    The script look like this:
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("design_1.txt");
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    function textLoaded(event:Event):void
    design.text = loader.data;
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded);
    loader.load(req);
    So first I made a project with Flash Catalyst and in there I created an area text element. Then I imported the project to Flash Builder and put the AS script in the <Script> section and gave the <RichText> an id="design".  The text is just simple text and formatting happens in richtext element.
    So, when i try to compile the FB project it give me and parse error "undefined property error req", "undefined property error loader" etc.
    So should i alter the AS script for FB or is there something else wrong? I tried to google how to use dynamic text in FB but couldn't find any easytyutorials. I'm mostly a desginer so coding isn't my speciality. But thanks for help!

    Hi Amy,
    You can customize 'New class' generation under Preferences->Editors->Flash
    Builder->FileTemplates->Action Script->New ActionScript class.
    Currently there are no template variables available constructors. But you
    can customize it as following,
    $
    ${import_declaration}
    $ {
      public function ${class_name}() {

    HI Bhavesh,
    I have referred the michal weblog and I have done the same step except the container operation step.
    My requirement was to send the hard coded error message to the alert catagory so I didnt used the container operation step.

  • Using Dynamic Text In iOS Applications

    Hey everyone,
    I'm trying to create a simple iOS app.  I want to add a Dynamic Text box into the stage that will show the score, but every time I do so, the application encounters serious lag trouble.  I'm using _sans font.
    Does anyone have a method for using Dynamic Text that works well in iOS?

    I had lots of lag when I used a TLF textfield... but decent performance when I used a "classic" TextField.

  • Using Dynamic Text to tell a Hyperlink where to go.

    So I am having a little trouble on my site, and this community seems like a good place to go for help, and I am sure someone out here can help me.
    I have a webpage that uses dynamic text and images, and it serves as my user profile page. I know the database and all of that stuff is set up correctly because all of the dynamic text shows up as it should.
    Here is the problem I am having. I have an area where a user will be able to view files he has uploaded, and click on the name of a file to view it.
    The way I have it set up, is the clickable text is dynamic text from the server, called uploadname1. I want to make this text into a link, that sends them to the file stored as fileupload1.
    Here is my code that I thought should do it.
    "<a href="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['fileupload1']; ?>"/><?php echo $row_Recordset1['uploadname1']; ?></a>" (minus the quotes of course)
    The text underlines and changes the color as it should, but it is not clickable. Can someone out there help me?

  • Create a Link using Dynamic Text and Capture Variable

    I am building a dynamic website using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion 9
    Currently I have created a dynamic text table. The table is created by querying the Invoice table and displays the all the customers Invoices. The columns Include Invoice #, Date, Amount Paid, BalanceRemaining, Due Date. So basically lists all the invoices I have applied to the unique customer. It is pulled up using a session variable I created from the login page.
    My question is this I want to make the "Invoice #" linked so when you click on it it goes to a new page and performs a new query which retrieves infro related to that specific invoice such as Services Rendered, Service Description, Date, Price, Total. I was able to create a link to the Invoice # but I am stuck trying to figure out how to capture the Unique Invoice # and apply it to the new query. Is this possible if so how?
    Thanks for your help!

    Now keep in mind I am speaking strictly from a web and SQL standpoint as I have no experience with coldfusion.
    If you are able to create the link to the Invoice, I am perceiving this as the following:
    Invoice
    Links to
    #123
    page.php?invoice=123
    #345
    page.php?invoice=345
    If your page is setup like that then you already have the data stored in the browser request with the GET method.  In PHP the equivalent is the $_GET array.  I am assuming ColdFusion has a similar array to work with forms.  Then on your following page you obviously need to check that the visitor came from the prior page with the proper permissions to ensure that someone doesn't get the address page.php?invoice=### and just guesses through and views all invoices if they are not supposed to.  Then your query would look something like the following:
    SELECT * FROM invoice_table WHERE invoice_number = $_GET['invoice']
    Remember this in written in PHP so yours should be a similar equivalent.
    Hopefully this helps a little to get you going in the right direction.

  • Compiler errors when using dynamic text in a class

    I have created a MovieClip with a custom class that has a dynamic text field (called "textArea"), which I want to modify by the Component Inspector, as well as via a custom method using:
    textArea.text = newText;
    It works fine in all cases and there are no problems, but the compiler still wants to give me the error:
    1120: Access of undefined property textArea.
    The error doesn't appear when I remove the component parameters (so that it's just a normal MovieClip). It still works, even with the error, so I'm not sure why it wants to complain. Am I doing something wrong or is it just being bitchy?

    By defining them in the class and using the class name under component definition:
    [Inspectable(name="Text", type=String, defaultValue="")]
    public function set text(setText:String)
         textArea.text = setText;
    public function get text():String
         return textArea.text;
    A problem I run into is that the compiler errors prevent the parameters from being defined so I comment out every line that has to do with textArea, define the component, then uncomment them so that it'll work when it runs.

  • Increasing/decreasing a var using dynamic text

    Hello and thanks for clicking
    Now while I am not a complete newbie I am far from an expert in this, so instead of using terms I hardly understand myself I'll just give a rough outline of what I need for this project to work
    I am currently working on a turn-based point-and-click strategy game in flash. Now like most strategy games gathering resources is important, and in this game there are currently four resource bases, a forest, a gold mine, a lake and a stone mine.
    What I need is for the player to be able to click on, for example, the forest, in which case a dynamic text will become visible. Now I need the player to be able to insert an ammount of soldiers. That ammount will be sent to claim the resources of the base. So basically I need the ammount that is typed in the dynamic text to be retracted from the "soldiers" var and added to the var representing the soldiers in the forest.
    Any help on how to achieve this would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    A textfield has a "text" property.  So if you have a variable that you want to assign the textfield's entry to, then you assign it using...
        yourVariable = textfieldName.text;
    If you want that variable to be a Number, then you cast the textfield text as a Number when you assign it to the variable...
        yourVariable = Number(textfieldName.text);

  • How to use an dynamic text from Flash in FlashBuilder with swf ?

    Hello,
    i'm trying to develop a game in flex builder and i got a problem with the dymanic text i've imported from flash. I want to insert a scoreboard in my application and for doing that i should use dynamic text in flash. I create a dynamic text in flash and then a import it to Flash Builder in a movie clip, and i called the dynamic text "Score". Now i've tried to use the "Score" variable to change the value of the dynamic text box un my flash builder application, but it doesn't change anything.
    I read somewhere that i've got to use the score.text value to change the number of my score but that doesn't works because Flash Builder tells me that this sort of variable don't contain the .text value.
    Thank you for trying to help me.
    bye.

    Thanks Ned,
    I always welcome learning something new.
    I did not know creating a new keyframe,
    creates a new instance.
    Yes, I had used the same dynamic text field instance name in
    numerous, new layers (great observation).
    With the objective to display the User's name throughout
    the timeline (on and off)...
    I'll attempt to paraphrase your solution;
    Use a single layer to display the dynamic text field.
    Extend this layer's timeline throughout the movie, or end use of the dynamic text field.
    Help with this one ??
    Set the visible properties to true or false as need through out the timeline.
    ( Does require an AS3 ? )
    I'll give that a try.....
    ~~
    Side of effect of using the above solution;
    The SWF in it's attempted state, uses the dynamic text field instance, in
    different places, different text sizes, on the stage, throughout the Movie.
    (i.e. the User's first name appears in different sentences...)
    Per the solution above,
    I believe I will be limited to One location, one format setting.
    Is this assumption correct?
    I can make this work from a display / Movie point of view.
    However, your first VAR concept, noted above, might be
    worth exploring should more flexibility be required.
    Thanks for making the time to coach...

  • Dynamic Text line spacing issue

    Hi, in my Flash movie (CS3) I want all text to be selectable.
    When I select 'static' and 'selectable', I have the following issues:
    - Some of the text does not fit into the available (scrolling required to see the end of text)
    - This is larger than when in Flash.
    When I use 'dynamic' text, I have the following issues:
    - The line spacing displays different in the exported swf than it does in Flash (line spacing is much greater in the swf)
    - I am a designer so the appearance / positioning of the text is crucial
    Is this common?
    Is there any way to make the text in Flash and swf appear consistent?
    Many thanks

    First of all, maybe you don't know it, but static text can't be made selectable even in theory. Therefore what you're seeing when you click "Selectable" option, is a dynamic text. As for line spacing, I don't see any difference between Flash CS4 and resulting SWF. The only strange thing I've found is the necessarity to enlarge the bounding rectangle when I change the text type from static to dynamic. Otherwise bottom line of text just disappears. It looks like a bug. Also I don't see "Autosize" option being working here in CS4. I doubleclick on bottom right corner of the text block, small square is transformed into a diamond, and bounding rect is "autosized" around the text block. But the bottom text line disappears just as I deselect the text object. All it looks some stange...

  • SQL Subscription field shows * only with Dynamic Text Label in SQL query

    We are using Hyperion Analyzer 7.2.x for showing budget and actual data. I have to show this financial data based on the security e.g. person in IT can see only IT dept. data. Hence I want to use dynamic text label <<userid>> for the security based on the person logging in to Analyzer.
    But when I use dynamic text label <<userid>> in the SQL query in SQL Spreadsheet, SQL Subscription field shows * only selection option. Does anyone have idea how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    -SV

    Hi
    Okay i know this is a bit crazy way.....but i think this is the solution for your issue.
    Create a report without the where clause (<<useris>>) then add a filter (sql subscription) then you can find all the values that are there in the SQL field (try to increase the query limit it is set to 250 as default) then edit the spreadsheet and add the where clause (<<userid>>).
    This will help you having the filter and the dynamic text label. I think there is an issue when you try to filter it with a where clause.
    Hope it helps.

    can any body help on this issue

    It is a very simple to solve issue:
    There is a line break in your CSS code on the main page in the background image url.
    Current Firefox versions do not like that.
    <code>body {
    background:#000000 url("http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fKjKe5YUrXg/SjKITFBNaxI/AAAAAAAADWI/u5ohtFDhVc0/black-%20lighter.jpg

    This should fix it:

  • Dynamic Texts from Bex ( for Key Figures ) not coming to WEBI Query

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a Query in BEx : Each  Key figure column text changes dynamically - Like based on Present month
    it will Display Month +1 Month +2  up to Month +12.  Used  dynamic Text variables .
    But when i created the universe and Webi report , i am missing the text in the column for Key figures .
    How should i get the column text in Webi which is same as in Bex : Points will be awarded for helpful
    answers.
    Thanks
    Magge

    Hi,
    text variables with replacement path are supported in BO4.0, see following document: SAP BusinessObjects BI4 - Supported BEx Query Elements
    As an example after entering 2012 in the prompts window, the name of the corresponding key figure will dynamically change:
    After refreshing and selecting 2013, the column name will update:
    Im not sure though if this is the case with unv universe access to BEx queries.

  • Formatting dynamic texts

    Hi,
    in SmartForms I use dynamic texts to output information in the form. It works fine but I have to format some of them for a smaller or bigger font. SAP does not give any possibility to set the paragraph and/or character formats like in the case of text elements.
    How can I format my texts ??
    Thanks.

    Hi Jorge,
    It is possible to create paragraph format and character formats in smartforms.
    Go to tcode-SMARTSTYLES and create a style and then specify ur style in smartforms
    Globalsettings->Formattributes->outputoptions->style
    if ur copying predefined smartform the copy the used style into Zstyle and make further changes like ur own formata and use it...
    Thanks&Regards,
