very true.

I don't mean to bite the hand off anybody trying to help. I appreciate every one in the forum and all the help they offer. This is anunbelievable resource.

With that being said...Some did not...

It doesn't snap because it's not turned on?

Are you serious?

I know it's on becuase there is a little check mark by it. You know, the universal indicator for something being ON.

No matter...

ok folks.

The guides answer seems like the best one.

REMEMBER, I don't want to create it using actions script, and grabbing the little handles is worthless to me, unless I maybe use the...

can you do it without using the createTextField actionscript? I would rather physically add the input textfields. It seems like such a simple thing.

If it can't be done, what is macromedia...

Hello.

I want to make some input text fields a certain size, but I can't change the size by typing in numbers because it just transforms the fields, distorting the text.

This should be a simple...

thanks oldnewbie. But this leads me to a problem I was working on previously.

I now need to create a text field that is a certain size, loads a dynamic or external text file, uses embedded fonts,...

Hello.

I want to create a dynamic text field that is a specific size, say, 400 x 300. I draw the text field and I'll get 400.2 x 300.7 , or as close as I can get it. If I go up to change the...

still haven't gotten it yet. Can it be done?

Hello.

I'm trying to dynamically load an html formatted text file with createTextField.

I would also like to set the font to a font called my_font that is a font from a shared library.

Any...

Hello. I'm thinking about dipping my toe in a little web design. I want to know how exactly pro's handle designing a site that a client with no html or design experience can update.

For example....

ok, a few more questions.
So I made a font symbol in my shared library. How do I assign that font symbol to my text fields? Do I just go ahead and select the font used from the font menu. Do I have...

Hello fk.

I have jpegs and swfs that load into a blank movie clip. Is it possible to put a blank dynamic text box on the stage that will display the name of whatever movie of jpeg is loaded into...

Thanks oldnewbie for replies on all my posts. The other text box actionscript method works perfectly for my project.

Hello.

I use the same fonts throughout my website. The site itself is modular in nature, meaning several movies are loaded into and on top of one another. I have a shared library that all movies...

Hello.

I am trying to get text into a text box dynamically through actionscript, opposed to loading a text file. Is there some kind of "print" function in actionscript that can for example:

Hello fk.

I have some quick questions about actionscript.

I am trying to load jpegs into a movie clip "container", using LoadMovie, so that they are centered always.
Right now I have made...

Hello fk. A few questions here.

Can I re-use a pixel font throughout a project that uses several swfs by somehow placing that font in my shared library?

If so, then how?

Can I apply this to...

Hello. My files are out of control. I need to organize them in folders. Right now I just have everything in one root folder. How do I access files that I have put in a folder, lets say...

Oh yea. Where would I place that function. I have never really understood functions to well.

Hello scott.

Could you clarify the code a little. I have never really used the On ( I am assuming you are talking about OnClipEvent) so I'm not sure how that works. Here's the breakdown:

Lets...

Hello fk.
I want to load jpegs in using loadMovie. I have a container or "empty" movie clip that I want to load these jpegs into. The catch is that I want them to be centered in that empty movie...

can you tell a movie clip to center itself relative to another movie clip, inside a movie clip, or in a swf using actionscript?

Is there any basic code to tell a movie object to center itself on the x and y. For example, I can tell myMovieclip to go to 3,3 by saying:
myMovieclip._x = 3;
myMovieclip._y = 3;

can you load a movie clip into another movie clip so it is centered. Say I have a mc called big. I want to load small into big so it is exactly centered. Can you do this?
