Dynamic Text

[Sid Skiba]

I have a table set up that will have a row of text drawn from a database.
That text is very long - memo field. When I view the page the dynamic text
forces the table to grow off the page instead of wrapping around within the
cell.

Can someone give me some pointers on how to get dynamic text to wrap in a
table cell?

I have looked everywhere and I cannot find an answer.

Please help.

Regards,

Sid

Have you set the width of your table cell?

Hi,

I doing a french website and would like to link a text field to a text field containing special french character : é,à,è,ê, ... but it doesn't work. With html formatting the &acute; tag doesn't work either.

Any clue ?

Thanks.

You need to URL encode the text file. You can find the codes here:

how do you make dynamic text fade in and out

How can you change the alpha on dynamic text

[Kidgamez webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Go to Charecter Options under the Properties window, and then set it to embed font outlines for all charecters.

[Peter Blumenthal]

you must include the font outlines to mask or fade dynamic text.
unfortunately this means your etxt will anti alias, unless you use a pixel
font.

I am building a wedding videography website and I have a page called package options. On that page I have a scrolling dynamic text box with a list of all the different package options, I want to make one of those options a link to a HTML page with NO toolbar, No scrollbar and set dimensions of 445px wide by 400px high. JavaScript Pop ups are easy when I am using Actionscript on a button, frame, ect. But I do no t have the option of using Actionscript in this case. I only have the URL box in the properties panel to link my text. Is it possible to have a JS popup this way. If so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

brandon_haslip,

You should be able to set the URL in ActionScript. What version of Flash are you using?

As a last resort you could make your individual links as movieClips. You can build a script to scroll them or put them inside a Scroll Pane component. Then you can specify a JavaScript function to call with the fsCommand, swLiveConnect, or you can use a pseudo URL like the following:

The following function would be defined on the same page that contains your movie.

<script>
//javaScript
function popUpWindow(URLStr,width,height){
popUpWindow = open(URLStr, ?popUpWindow?, ?toolbar=no, location=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbar=no, resizable=no, width=?+width+?, height=?+height);
}
</script>

In your ActionScript code you would put something like:

on(press){
getURL(?javascript:popUpWindow(\?somePage.html\?, 500, 600);?); // this is a pseudo URL
}

I hope that helps,

-Ken

if u need to change the color of text then instead of using Color object use textColor property of textbox.
e.g.

on(press){
txt.textColor = "0xff0000";
}

Hi,

I would like to transform in button
a dynamic word
to make it move a bit from the left to the right
but it seem that with dynamic text there is no reaction
when your mouse is over the word...

someone has a method ?

thank a lot

[BLATANT! Self Promotions]

sandra,

simply make a button. then 'edit' your button. on the 'rollover' state
create a keyframe (f6).

then select your text or whatever, on the 'rollover' state and make it a
movieclip (f8).

now you animate your movieclip however you want and it will use the
animation from the movieclip when you rollover the button.

Using a mySql database and php to create a makeshift cms for creating html for
a mass email application. Everything works perfectly except if I type the text
that I am editing normally (without hitting the enter key) on the update record
form the text goes into the database in a single line and is displayed on the
(web page with the dynamic text) on one line as well. Have tried using tables
css styles and font tags and the fields in the database are set to varchar 255.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate them. Thanks.

[AImacro]

I am using a multiple line text field form to update a record in a mySql
database. When I just type freely (mutiple lines of text) the text is viewed
as a single line on the page with the dynamic text. I need the text to be
multiple lines like the update record form.

Hi
In xml you can give like this
otherwise search a specified String from the xml and replace with the
asfunction

<a href='asfunction:_root.clickHandler,0'>"+str_urs+" </a>

and in the root or where you movie is located write function for the
clickHandler, you can pass parameters to the method also

in the below case "0" is the parameter
asfunction:_root.clickHandler,0

Hi

Is ther any way that when you place recordet information in a table so as to
display dynamic reults. You can add an event to the results saying on mouse
over stop,, and on mouse out start.

When i look at the behaviors when trying to do this they are all greyed out.

Cheers
