[RESOLVED] [F8] object at the end of a text

[dkmobi]

Hey there,

I hope you guys can help me.

I want to put an object for example a red square at the end of a multiline text.

I know I can find out the textlength with the attribute textHeight or textWidth.

But if my text is for example like this:

[Lorem ipsum dolor sit] <--- Textfield
[amet [x] ]

[x] = red square.

So how to I put the red square at the end of this example?
It have to be dynamic.

I uploaded a picture for better understanding.

I found something.

If somehow I can get the width of the last line my problem would be solved.

you can embed an object .swf or movie clip..or even an image into a dynamic text field...

there is a link in my footer called (embed) read it..

First thanks for ur response.

I've looked into this embed thing.

It doesn't seem to work properly. There's always linebreak when you use this embed thing.

I used this code:

_root.test.htmlText = "1 MovieClip:<img src='square'>:MovieClip";

Basically it should be between "Moveclip:" and :"Movieclip" right? But instead this turns out.

Well maybe it's a little bit late no what the hell it's damn late.

Anyway I think I have a solution which I think it might work for the most cases.


I split the text on whitespace because that's where the Textfield will make a linebreak if the "word"s width is larger than the Textfield width.

Next I need to determine what's the max textWidth of the Textfield by putting "i" in the Textfield (in my case 219.75 I rounded it up).

Then I need to add word by word to see if it's larger than the max textWidth and so on. Someday I might then get the textWidth of the last line.

var my_array:Array = String(normal_txt.text).split(" ");
            
hidden_txt.text = "";
var temp_end:Boolean = false;
var length_lastline:Number;
            
for each(var wort:String in my_array){
    if(hidden_txt.text == ""){
        hidden_txt.text = wort;
    }
    else{
        hidden_txt.text = hidden_txt.text + " " + wort;
    }
                
    if(hidden_txt.textWidth > 220){
        temp_end = true;
        hidden_txt.text = wort;
    }
    length_lastline = hidden_txt.textWidth;
}
            
if(temp_end){
    mc.x = normal_txt.x + length_lastline + 12;
    mc.y = normal_txt.y + normal_txt.height - 18;
}
else{
    mc.x = normal_txt.x + length_lastline + 11;
    mc.y = normal_txt.y + normal_txt.height - 21;
} 

This is done in CS4 with Actionscript 3.0 not Flash 8. Maybe this thread should moved to Actionscript 3.0.
