[Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

2010-06-15 Thread Karim Beyrouti 
Hi All - 

Wondering if there are any hacks to trigger a 'RollOver' script when hovering 
over a 'a href' link in an html textfield. 
Currently using TextEvent.LINK,to trigger links - but would like to show a 
tooltip on rollover (of that part of text).

So far the only solution i can think of is using : 
TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number)
create this  - but it seems like this could be quite long winded solution. 

Any other ways of achieving this?


Thanks

Why not use the mouse coordinates?

This in a mouseMove or enterFrame event is what I've always used.


var index = txt.getCharIndexAtPoint (txt.mouseX, txt.mouseY);
var url = ;
if (index = 0) {
var fmt:TextFormat = txt.getTextFormat (index, index + 1);
if (fmt.url) url = fmt.url;
}
if (url) {
// begin tooltip code
}

2010-06-15 Thread Karim Beyrouti 
The HREF link is only part the the textfields content, and each textfield can 
have more than one link amongst other copy
and need to show relevant tooltip only when user is hovering over the 'a HREF' 
parts of the html textfield.

sorry, I tacked on that last if statement. It should probably read

if (url.length  0) {
// begin tooltip code
}

maybe you want to check if its an appropriate web url with a regExp first,
but I think you get the idea.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

2010-06-15 Thread Ktu 
Regardless of whether you are using multiple TextFormat objects or htmlText,
using getTextFormat(begin, end), the textFormat will have the appropriate
url.
This is a quick dirty test. Glad I could help out. I'm posting the code for
my test in case anyone else finds it useful.

One thing to note!
If text in a textfield does not fill the text field, a error can appear. In
my code below you can see that error. A link on the bottom line will
register when the cursor is in empty space below the link, but not directly
over it. The x property of the mouse is triggering the rollover. Maybe
someone else can explain this issue better.


AS3 - Timeline code

var txt:TextField = new TextField ();
txt.width = txt.height = 150;
txt.multiline = true;
txt.wordWrap = true;
txt.htmlText = when registered, all a href=\www.google.com\links/a in
text fields will update a href=\www.theflashblog.com\the status bar./a
hahahahah
txt.border = true;
txt.x = txt.y = 100;
addChild(txt);

addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, captureEnterFrame)

function captureEnterFrame (e:Event):void {
var index = txt.getCharIndexAtPoint (txt.mouseX, txt.mouseY);

if (getChildByName(ToolTip)) return;
var tf:TextField = new TextField ();
tf.name = ToolTip;
tf.autoSize = left;
tf.text = url;
tf.background = true; tf.border = true;
tf.backgroundColor = 0x00FF;
tf.x = pos.x + 5;

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

2010-06-15 Thread Karim Beyrouti 
I've added a boolean - to save a few function calls - and also using a Timer ( 
instead of an enterframe) on a slowish delay - to save a few processor cycles.

private var tooltipFlag : Boolean = false;
/**
* @method 
* @tooltip
* @param
* @return
*/
private function detectMouseOverLink( e : TimerEvent = null ) : void {

var index   : Number = label.getCharIndexAtPoint (label.mouseX, 
label.mouseY);
var url : String = ;

if (index  0) {

   var fmt:TextFormat = label.getTextFormat (index, index + 1);
   if (fmt.url) url = fmt.url;
   
}

if ( ( url.length  0 ) 
 ( ! tooltipFlag ) ) {

tooltipFlag = true;
trace('show - url: ' + url + ' tooltipFlag: ' + tooltipFlag );

} else if ( url.length == 0  tooltipFlag ) { 

tooltipFlag = false; 
trace('hide - url: ' + url + ' tooltipFlag: ' + tooltipFlag );

}

}

If i get time - i might turn this into a utility class - so you can do 
something like:

txtRollOverManger.addRollOverListener( txt , callback ) - 
or
txtRollOverManger.removeRollOverListener( txt , callback ) 

i have a few textfields - quite a few timers might affect performance...

thanks...

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

2010-06-15 Thread Karim Beyrouti 
TextEvents were a big improvement over asfunction (AS2 hack) - still - it 
would be nice if TextEvent had listeners for link rollovers / rollouts. 

I like the fact you can still get to the url through using 
textformat/getCharAtPoint.
Tooltip data is stored in the link:  
a href=event:http://www.url.com/#this is a tooltip/a
So it's easily updatable.

thanks again very useful bit of code.

@ Henrik - Not used the TextLineMirrorRegion or the flash.text.engine - but 
will look into it
when i get some time - looks like that could provide the functionality for 
rollover / rollouts.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

2010-06-15 Thread Karim Beyrouti 

Created a utility class for a href rollovers in html textfields - 


https://code.google.com/p/kurstcode/source/browse/trunk/libs/com/kurst/utils/TextFieldUtils.as

Might be a little buggy - needs some testing, seems ok so far... 

usage: 

import com.kurst.utils.TextFieldUtils

TextFieldUtils.addHTMLRollOver( label, htmlHrefEvent , this );

function htmlHrefEvent( dataItem : TextFieldDataItem ) : void {

trace('MouseOverStatus: ' + dataItem.overFlag + ' htmlHrefEvent: ' + 
dataItem.href )

}


Hope this helps someone...

 TextEvents were a big improvement over asfunction (AS2 hack) - still - it 
 would be nice if TextEvent had listeners for link rollovers / rollouts. 
 
 I like the fact you can still get to the url through using 
 textformat/getCharAtPoint.
 Tooltip data is stored in the link:  
   a href=event:http://www.url.com/#this is a tooltip/a
 So it's easily updatable.
 
 thanks again very useful bit of code.
 
 @ Henrik - Not used the TextLineMirrorRegion or the flash.text.engine - but 
 will look into it
 when i get some time - looks like that could provide the functionality for 
 rollover / rollouts.

 Did you know that for htmlText using a you can specify the
 href=event:myText
 Then register a TextEvent. This is how links inside of text fields can
 trigger functions

 Yep... However I was trying to get roll overs to trigger a function. Am
 going to build a textfield roll over utility class... Will post the results
 here when it's done...

 a:hover works in a css style sheet:

 tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

 Hi All -
 
 Wondering if there are any hacks to trigger a 'RollOver' script when
 hovering over a 'a href' link in an html textfield.
 Currently using TextEvent.LINK,to trigger links - but would like to show
 a tooltip on rollover (of that part of text).
 
 So far the only solution i can think of is using :
 TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number)
 create this  - but it seems like this could be quite long winded
 solution.
 
 Any other ways of achieving this?
 
 
 Thanks
