Ah I see - thanks Glen. For this particular project, there would be very little benefit in cheating as there is no prize. However it certainly sounds like something I will use on my other game projects. Thanks for your time writing out the explanation. Cheers Paul -Original Message-

[Flashcoders] Dynamicly created text-pages...

Hi cool list, Got myself a little optimazation challenge. I'm getting HTML text from an XML file. The big text needs to be split into different pages, depending on the size of the text. What's the best way to approach this? I'm no counting words, en add words to a dynamic TextField (with

You can use the scrollV and maxScrollV properties to determine if you have text outside of the field. if(myTextField.scrollV != myTextField.maxScrollV){ //scrollbars or pagination needed } On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 8:05 AM, Sander Schuurman b...@chello.nl wrote: Hi cool list, Got myself a

Hi, Maybe look at the Text Metrics somehow for this and determine if the height of a string formatted to your text field settings will be taller than you need. - you might want to be careful counting words, because things like newline, etc have a bearing on your text height...

Guessing you can't target FP 10.. I built a column text component with pagination once upon a time, and the easiest way I found to do it was to create the full text off-screen in one text field that has your required width, then grab one line at a time from the off-screen text field and add it to

My first attempt was doing it with the scrollrect property. (wich ended up unfortunatly in seeing pixel-lines (of lines of text) sometime when using it to show different pages) The problem isn't figuring out 'if' I need new pages (or how much), but it is where the last word/character/whatever

I've done several games with relatively open high score systems. There was no prize for winning, and people cheated within the first 2 hours of launch. Don't assume they wont! Especially if the score chart posts usernames. On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 4:38 AM, Paul Steven

Indeed there is not scroll tab in the scroll bar. One thing I did notice, not I think it is your issue, but in your HTML you have the player version set to 6.0.65.0. If you are indeed using AS3, then that player version will not play the SWF. You will need to change that value to at least 9.0

You could place a copy off-stage that gets loaded on the first frame and disapears on the second frame. Or check export for actionscript and take the export first frame checkmark off in the library. You can do this as long as there is one physically placed on stage somewhere down the line
