[Xerte] Re: Text Entry scroll = auto

Thu Feb 17 22:47:22 GMT 2011

icontextentry.txt. setStyle('fontSize', 12);

I have a V2 Component text entry in one of my pieces that I configure
with the following:

fsTxt = FSv2.addComponent ('TextInput', {_x:372, _y:330});

fsTxt.setStyle('fontFamily', 'Arial');

fsTxt.setStyle('fontWeight', 'bold');

fsTxt.setStyle('fontSize', 13);

fsTxt.setSize(300,22);

fsTxt.setFocus();

Maybe setStyle() will work on either icontextentry or icontextentry.txt?

Should it be:
icontextentry.txt.setTextFormat(icontextentryFormat);

In either case, no joy.

Set the input font and size in the LO.
No change. This is funny.

icontextentryFormat = new TextFormat();

icontextentryFormat.size = 12; // 12 point 

icontextentry.setTextFormat(icontextentryFormat);

Does that do anything?

Yes, thanks Paul.
I was suckered by inspect showing "height" and "height" going blue in
the code window.

So now if there is no text in the field to begin with, the box doesn't
collapse, but the text is some tiny default, even if I set it explicitly
in the icon.
This is quite the PITA for a simple text entry. I forget Flash really
does suck in some regards.

Shouldn't it be _height?

>From Flash help:

_height Property

public _height : Number

Player version: Flash Player 6

The height of the text field in pixels.

Example

The following code example sets the height and width of a text field:

my_txt._width = 200;

my_txt._height = 200;

You might also try applying a CSS style that sets the font-size.

Trying the text icon.

icontextentry.txt.height = 20;
icontextentry.txt.background = true;
icontextentry.txt.type = 'input';
icontextentry.txt.selectable = true;
setFocus(icontextentry.txt);

Unless I have text in the icon to begin with, it collapses down to about
2 pixels high.
(tried textHeight too).

I dont think the text entries are set up to scroll: I use a normal text
icon in such situations and set events on iconID.txt.onChanged

Doesn't seem to want to scroll when set to auto.

Simple example
0,0,100,100, match this, scrolling=auto, border=1, erase=1, exit=0
