Text Display Problem...

Aug 7, 2012 5:01 AM

I want to place 3 or 4 text fields in a line. Each text field having some text. And I Changed the font size of text in textfields dynamically.

I assign x value for each textfield as follows:

 

let us consider txt0,txt1,txt2 and tx3 fields are there...

 

txt0.x = 0;

txt1.x = txt0.x + txt0.textWidth + 5;

txt2.x = txt1.x + txt1.textWidth + 5;

..... like that

 

I placed these textfields in a moveiclip in one line.

But the problem is, When I change the font size,If any textfield having two words, it display first word completely but second word is displayed as half.

 

Suppose if "Soup song..." is a text in txt0. It is displayed as "Soup so"

 

Please help me if anyone know. And I think this is width of textfield problem. If it is please mention, how to solve it?

    Research the TextField class autoSize property.

    I just increase the textfield width when I increase the font size.

    You're welcome.  Since you are basing the spacing on the textWidth, you can probably just maximize the textfield widths to start with if that's the approach you want to run with.

    Now I got another problem...

     

    I succeeded to arrange above type of textfields with many different lines. Each line represents a movieclip which is having text fields in it. Now I have to arrange each movieclip in a center of the stage. How can I do it?  It may be some simple logic I think...

    You should only need to center the moviewclip that the textfields are in.  If the movieclip has its registration mark in the upper left corner, then you just need to nase its position on half the stage size minus half the movieclip size.
