I want to out multiline text in CCLabeTTF. It I am able. But I want that the text appeared smoothly. For this I use action CCFadeIn.
$ //Multiline output description
description =[descriptions valueForKey:#"text_MainHistory"];
float fontSize =22;
CGSize maxSize = {500, 400};
CGSize actualSize = [description sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:fontSize] constrainedToSize:maxSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
CGSize containerSize = {actualSize.width, actualSize.height};
descriptionText = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:description dimensions:containerSize alignment:UITextAlignmentCenter fontName:#"Arial" fontSize:fontSize];
descriptionText.position = ccp(screenSize.width/2,screenSize.height/2);
descriptionText.color = ccc3(128, 64, 0);
[descriptionText runAction:[CCSequence actions:[CCFadeIn actionWithDuration:5.0f], nil]];
[self addChild:descriptionText z:2];
But at performance for half-seconds appears and disappears text, and then begin CCFadeIn.
Where I am mistake?
I'm not sure I understand, but it looks like you should have set the label's opacity to zero right after you set it's color.

I want to replace a word "allowance" with "Some text", after running the code, It will remove word allowance and apply "Some text" with same formatting as that of "allowance" but foreground color property is not getting set as that of original.I want Some text also in red color as shown in the screenshot
function retainFormatting() {
var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
var textToHighlight = 'allowance';
var highlightStyle;
var paras = doc.getParagraphs();
var textLocation = {};
var i;
for (i=0; i<paras.length; ++i) {
textLocation = paras[i].findText(textToHighlight);
if (textLocation != null && textLocation.getStartOffset() != -1) {
highlightStyle = textLocation.getElement().getAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset());
textLocation.getElement().deleteText(textLocation.getStartOffset(),textLocation.getEndOffsetInclusive());
textLocation.getElement().insertText(textLocation.getStartOffset(),"Some text");
textLocation.getElement().setAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset(),textLocation.getEndOffsetInclusive(), highlightStyle);
}
}
}
before setting attribute at offset
after setting attribute it turns out to be
getForegroundColor(offset)
Retrieves the foreground color at the specified character offset.
And
setForegroundColor(startOffset, endOffsetInclusive, color)
Sets the foreground color for the specified character range.
Here is a sample code :
Getting Color from text
highlightColor = textLocation.getElement().getForegroundColor(textLocation.getStartOffset());
Applying color to text
textLocation.getElement().setForegroundColor(textLocation.getStartOffset(),textLocation.getEndOffsetInclusive(), highlightStyle);
I hope it helps. Goodluck :)
Try
textLocation.getElement().editAsText().deleteText(textLocation.getStartOffset(),textLocation.getEndOffsetInclusive());
textLocation.getElement().editAsText().insertText(textLocation.getStartOffset(),"Some text");
The .editAsText() puts you into editing the contents of the rich text leaving the existing attributes as a 'wrapper'
Alternatively, try replacing the text rather than deleting and inserting
paras[i].replaceText("allowance", "some text") // the first attribute is a regular expression as string
I have just tested this and it seems that setting LINK_URL alongside other attributes interferes with FOREGROUND_COLOR.
The following results in a black text color:
var attrs = {
"FOREGROUND_COLOR": "#ff0000", // should be red
"LINK_URL": null
};
text.setAttributes(start, end, attrs);
The following results in a red text color:
var attrs = {
"FOREGROUND_COLOR": "#ff0000" // should be red
};
text.setAttributes(start, end, attrs);
In effect, if you don't need to set the link, remove the LINK_URL from the list of formatting options.
#JSDBroughton Gave me an idea, which worked.
Try setting the attributes of the rich text object you get when calling editAsText. So instead of:
highlightStyle = textLocation.getElement().getAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset());
textLocation.getElement().setAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset(),textLocation.getEndOffsetInclusive(), highlightStyle);
Do:
// Make sure you replace `asParagraph` with what you actually need
highlightStyle = textLocation.getElement().asParagraph().editAsText().getAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset());
textLocation.getElement().asParagraph().editAsText().setAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset(),textLocation.getEndOffsetInclusive(), highlightStyle);
Edit: after playing around with this, seems like this only sometimes works. I still haven't figured out the pattern for when it does work and when it doesn't.
I'm trying to wordwrap a textfield inside a button, however after i set wordwrap to true some unexpected behavior happened.
Button.width = 390;
Button.textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
Button.textField.border = true;
Button.textField.wordwrap = true;
Button.textField.multiline = true;
Button.textField.width = textButton.width - 10;
Button.textField.x = 5;
Button.height = 60;
This is what happens:
When I'm outputting the Button.textField.textWidth, it seems shown a value that so much less than Button or Button.textField.width. I just want to make the word break after textwidth meets the textField.width maximum value. Is there anything that I can do to change this behavior? …since I can't change the value of Button.textField.textWidth (read-only).
Comment out the Button.textField.autoSize setting. This is probably what is throwing everything off.
You're setting the text field's width to match the size of the button when you set width = textButton.width - 10, but you're also telling it to automatically resize the textField to match the size of the actual text when you set the autoSize setting. So it's not going to fit the button the way you want it to.
I have a TLF Text field on the stage. I am trying to test this out in simple flash document.
My code takes in some xml that I parse. The xml will vary and will not always change all the properties of the text field. For instance in one case I only want to change the size of the font. In another case I only want to change the alignment of the font.
I am using TLF Text fields because we will translating into Arabic and I already have gotten Right to Left text working with them.
These are some properties I will need to edit in code:
Font Size
Font
Alignment
Leading
Bold, Italic, Underline (weight)
Any coding help would be great. I have seen ideas out there for text flow and text layout but I am obviously not using it correctly because I can't get it to work.
Long ago before I give up and stop using TLF fields. I have a project that requests dynamic addind and removing tlf fileds from/to stage. This is a code from this project:
This will generate default format dynamically
var config:Configuration = new Configuration();
var defTextFormat: TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
defTextFormat.textAlign = TextAlign.LEFT;
defTextFormat.fontFamily = m_strFontName;
defTextFormat.fontSize = m_nFontSize;
defTextFormat.fontWeight = FontWeight.BOLD
defTextFormat.paddingLeft = 3;
defTextFormat.paddingTop = 3;
defTextFormat.paragraphStartIndent = 3;
defTextFormat.paragraphSpaceBefore = 3;
config.defaultLinkActiveFormat = defTextFormat;
config.defaultLinkHoverFormat = defTextFormat;
config.defaultLinkNormalFormat = defTextFormat;
config.textFlowInitialFormat = ITextLayoutFormat( defTextFormat );
m_textFlow = new TextFlow( config );
member m_textFlow holds a ref to TLF field.
To add and remove elements use m_textFlow.addChild( p ); where p is paragraph element
see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flashx/textLayout/elements/ParagraphElement.html
To change the FontSize and color an element for example :
var _p:ParagraphElement = ParagraphElement( m_textFlow.getChildAt( iChild ) );
for ( var iParChild: uint = 0; iParChild < _p.numChildren; ++iParChild )
{
_p.getChildAt( iParChild ).color = color;
_p.getChildAt( iParChild ).fontSize = nRatio;

Maybe this can help you.
I want to get radioButton's label height in as3.
I have 5 radio buttons in my radioButton group. One of those radioButtons has a three line label, another has a single line etc...
When I try to access the radioButton.height, I always get same value regardless of the label height.
I need to know the height of the label, so I can set the radioButton y coordinate accordingly.
can I change the radioButton's label height?
spacing = 30;
rb.label = tempQQString //from xml. long or short string anyone
rb.group = myGroup;
rb.value = i + 1;
rb.x = answerX;
rb.y = questionField.height + (questionY+20) + (i * spacing); // here use rb.height or rb.textField.height
trace("rb height**" + rb.height) // always get velue 22;
addChild(rb);
RadioButton and any fl control that extends labelButton (all the ones that have a label), expose the actual text field with the .textField property.
So for your example, instead of using rb.height, you would use rb.textField.height to get the height of just the label portion of the control.
You can also set properties on the textField as well.
rb.textField.background = true;
rb.textField.backgroundColor = 0xDDDDDD;
rb.textField.multiline = true;
rb.textField.wordWrap = true;
rb.textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
now, for your scenario, you may be better off just using the radio button's bounds instead, as it will be the REAL height of the object.
rb.getBounds(rb).height; //this will be the true height of the component.
If your label was one line and your icon was taller than your label, you could potentially be getting a value from rb.textField.height that is smaller than the real height of the radio button.
Try this.
for(var i=0;i<rb.numChildren;i++){
if(rb.getChildAt(i) is TextField){
var txt:TextField = rb.getChildAt(i) as TextField;
trace(txt.height+":"+rb.height);//traces the height of text field and radio button
}
}
I need to realize textbox autoresizing in actionscript3(IDE - adobe flash pro cs3). For example my textarea is in width 100 px, user has been wrote in it something, that is bigger than 100 px, then my textbox should become increasingly. any ideas?
Also I can't realize multiline option: when the text goes beyond the textbox, it starts to scroll. In line type I've chosen 'multiline'.
thanks
try this:
textfield.autoSize = "left";
textfield.multiline = true;
textfield.wordWrap = true;
Hope it helps,
Rob
If you want to resize textfield automaticaly you can use textfield.autoSize property.
Wnen you are using multiline textfield, then setting
textfield.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
will align text to left and resize field vertically. If you use single line text field, it will resize to the right.
The TextField's .autosize property is great for sizing dynamic text fields when you already know the text string (but mind the .multiline and .wordwrap properties), but won't be helpful for input text fields.
For input text, I'd suggest listening for the Event.CHANGE event, then updating the width/height based on the number of lines, the .textWidth, or TextLineMetrics info (e.g. myTextField.getLineMetrics).
Here's a quick example:
var myField:TextField = new TextField();
myField.x = 10;
myField.y = 10;
myField.width = 100;
myField.height = 20;
myField.border = true;
myField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
myField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, textChangeHandler);
addChild(myField);
function textChangeHandler(evt:Event) {
var buffer:Number = 10;
myField.width = Math.max(100, (myField.textWidth + buffer));
myField.scrollH = 0;
}
Edit: Oh, and if you want that to work with .multiline, then just add:
myField.multiline = true;
and in the textChangeHandler function add:
myField.height = myField.textHeight + buffer;
