I know.

The problem is that I changed the hole thing from the textFormat object to html formating.

Anyway, it is (with all the bugs) proved now that a real WYSIWYG text editor is possible! Basta!

Btw. the biggest bug in it:

If you select something with different formats in it - it will make something stupid.

But if you select just a part of it that has one format, it will works really well.

So, better version later.

I will send you the file tomorrow. Thx.

I'm sure it is nothing big, but I can't see it at the moment.

Ahoi,
So how you tell that textfield Object to handle the currentFocus? I spend the whole day to get this...

umm.. why can't i see this example? the original post (by Subway) is blank. am I missing something?

**Shockerz** · 03-20-2002, 06:22 PM

Yeah, probably missing a Flash 6 player

The whole thing looks good, in the first edition I don't think it would change fonts for me, but did all the rest great, though the second edition di change fonts, but didn't do all the rest

How about connecting the 2? lol

I'm sure once you'll fix the bugs it'll work great

Code:

this["mytext" + currentLine].onKillFocus = function () {
	myFocus = false;
	Selection.setSelection(selStart-1, selEnd-1);
};
this["mytext" + currentLine].onSetFocus = function () {
	myFocus = true;
};

// What is selected?
this.onEnterFrame = function() { 
	if (myFocus){
		selStart = Selection.getBeginIndex()+1;
		selEnd = Selection.getEndIndex()+1;
		cursor = Selection.getCaretIndex()
		selected = substring(this["mytext" + currentLine].text, selStart, selEnd - selStart);
	}
}

That's just part of the code, but one part the actually works perfect.

Ok, I'm sure I found the way to do it. A lot of coding to do, but it will do the job.

The problem was that there is only the possibility to know which part of the text is selected and not where this part is in the html formated property of the textobject. (Not without a lot of search routins, that involve the HTML tags of the formated text)

So what I use now is an array that has the formating for every character of the textfield. A lot of work, but it will do the job.

Will post the file later when I recoded the hole stuff. (Done a little part allready and it works perfectly)

Cheers, Fredi

Wait for the version I will publish in about 24 hours. Then everything will work like it should work. Thx to my own format/selection handling.

Hmmm ... at the moment: 250 lines ... when it's finished: maybe 350, maybe less, maybe more

subway,i saw your above briliant work
but i got a problem in creating an empty newtextField and align it to *for example "center"
it doesnt work the align works only for textFields with values.
and if it is supose to work like that than how should i build my userinterface with fields that should handle prices and should be aligned to right.
i am creating a textField component and it has a whole set of properties and parameters and the createTextField is the exact object i need but it doesnt work right so what should i do.

**Subway** · 03-22-2002, 04:26 AM

Have you tryd it with yourTextField.text = " "; ?

Anyway, wait for the realease of my tool and you have a new way to do all the formating stuff.

Thx!

I just updated the above version (site 2 of this thread). Everything should work now (Font, Size, align, color ...). The only thing you cant do is "bold" and "italic" and don't jump to a new line with "return" or "enter", that makes some funny things.

Hope I can finish it today, if not, then I post the source monday.
