Warp text in flash such as arcing or bending

is there any way to warp text in flash such as arcing or
bending

yes, but it's not easy and definitely not a beginning a.s.
project. you can distribute your text into different textfields
that you arrange in an arc or you can use the bitmapdata class and
its displacementmap filter.

  • Formatted text inside flash inputField

    how can I save formatted text in flash and maintain style(ie color, size, bold, italics)
    example:
    in the input field I write something, then i make it bold, and blue.  I would like to save this text in the edited form of bold and blue.  how do I save that text FORMATED to a variable.

    That's because it's probably stripping the characters it doesn't like, such as HTML and formatting. Your best strategy at that point is to convert it before you send it through your script so your script tolerates it. You can try the encode() function run on your string which will URL encode it and the decode() function can restore it. Otherwise you need to replace anything your script doesn't like with something else intentionally. e.g. turn <i>italics</i> into [i]italics[/i] and then later fix it.
    I myself would look at what PHP is doing. Chances are it's running the striptags function. It's just a safety measure to stop SQL injections (make code safer). But that may not be what you want. If you're at all uncomfortable with that, you'd best not do it though. You take the risk someone will sneak something in that you do not want.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

  • Can't get dynamic text in Flash 8 pro to work

    Hi,
    This is driving me nuts. I am using SWObject to send a
    variable to my Flash 8 swf. The swf is basically a header that
    plays a video and I want to put the name of the web page
    dynamically on top of it. Sounds simple right. Well I can not get
    it to work. In the past I have done dynamic text boxes without any
    problem.
    I have uploaded all the files to my clients server (
    including the fla and the HTML page that accesses the swobject code
    I have also tried other more conventional means to load the
    Variables ( in the URL address and using Flashvars with a normal
    object and embed tag ) Nothing seems to work.
    Is there a problem with dynamic text and Flash 8?
    I'm pulling my hair out any help would greatly be
    appreciated, Thanks in advance.
    Zip file on the
    server with all the files

    Hi jimWPX, I have no problems with dynamic text in Flash 8,
    and I see no problems in your file.
    Could it be that the js doesn't parse for Flash 8 correctly?
    A quick check for version seems to suggest that it's embedding with
    tags for v 6 Flash. Might be problematic.
    An alternative is FlashTag.js,

    which works fine for me also. Hope it helps

  • Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4

    Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
    Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks
    Chandrakant

    You have to do it yourself -  I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
    Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
    In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

  • Problem with displaying text in flash player

    I have flash player 10.2.152.26 and opera 11.01  installed.
    The problem is that text in flash is diplayed in an awful way like this:
    http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6918/alljo.png
    And when i choose "settings" the window appears, but it doesn't react when I click on it.
    Can anyone help, please?

    Thanks for answering
    So you have IE8 and the hardware acceleration was able to be UNchecked and FP(Flash Player) is working properly with IE.
    In IE flash works fine with any settings.
    When I unchecked "Hardware acceleration" checbox in IE it also became unchecked in opera, but nothing changed in opera's behavior.
    When you don't use the Aero it's displayed correctly but the settings do not work. What settings are you referring to?
    It's about flash settings in Opera
    With aero: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/settingsh.png/
    Without aero: http://img816.imageshack.us/i/settingswoaero.png/
    In both cases the settings dialog is displayed like in the screenshots above, but when I click on checkbox/tabs/'close' button in it nothing happens. I can't change any settings or close it (dialog disappers only after reloading page)
    Just to sum up everything mentioned above:
    - In IE flash works fine regardless of any settings
    - In Opera text is displayed wrong when using windows aero, and without aero theme it's displayed correct
    - I didn't manage to make settings dialog work in Opera
    - When I change some flash settings in IE, they are also changed in Opera
    Now Flash Player works thru the browser, do you have perhaps have an addon that is conflicting? What Anti-Virus do you have Installed? Any addons of that?
    I have 7 extensions installed in Opera, I've disabled all of them, but nothing changed.
    I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, disabling it also gives nothing.

  • 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...

  • Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

    I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
    I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
    This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
    My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
    Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
    Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
    I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
    Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too.  See this forum as an example of the problem:  http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
    Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
    1.  Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash  ie. ~/Library/Fonts.  (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
         Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
    2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
            http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
    3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu.  Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance.  Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
    4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages.  Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
    Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

  • Popping text in Flash

    is there a good tutorial anywhere on how to animate text in
    Flash?
    is it best to use the Type tool and create the text in Flash
    or import it from another application?

    What specifically do you want the animation to do? You could
    certainly do almost any effect in Flash but additionally, there are
    some 3rd party tools out there that can do tons of effects
    relatively easily. If you're buiding banner ad, however, I'd stay
    away from those tools because the often increase the size of your
    SWF.

  • Help! How do I warp text to fit a ribbon?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to warp text to fit a shape - in this case a ribbon? Attached are two pics, hopefully showing what I'm trying to achieve!
    The pencil sketch shows how the text should roughly be the second shows the clear paths that I want the text to warp to. I need the text to fill the shape of the ribbon and flow (top and bottom as if were printed on) - not just by using the clunky text path tool as shown.
    Is this possible in Illustrator?
    Help!

    The closest I can come to duplicating the effect you want is with the 3D effect, and mapping the text to the object. Type the text and save the text object as a Symbol. Draw the ribbon as a single path, then apply a 3D Extrude & Bevel, then apply the text (as a Symbol) to that. These last two steps can be done in the same step. Here's a quick attempt:
