  Replace that with:

  formatter.italic = !currentFormat.italic;

  The conditionals aren't necessary in that situation. :)

 Okay, but in the simple example, you are using it for both:

 Okay, but formatter should not be treated as a property of _selectedBox.
 _selectedBox has no property named formatter.

 This is the offending line:

 if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)

 You already have set formatter to the value of 
_selectedBox.getTextFormat();
 Thus your conditional should read:

 if (formatter.italic == false)

 To simplify it to keeping formatter separate from the current format, 
let's
 rewrite:

 var currentFormat:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
 var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

   if (currentFormat.italic == false)
   {
formatter.italic = true;
   }
   else
   {
formatter.italic = false;
   }

  _selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]

2008-04-15 Thread Rich Shupe

Stuart,

I'm not sure I've followed this thread thoroughly, but have you embedded a
font and specified it in a text format you're using?

That is, you can't just say embedFonts = true. To do that, you must embed a
font in the Library, and use that font in the field's text format,
controlling the field and format with AS.

Are you using AS3 or AS2?

2008-04-03 Thread jonathan howe

Okay, but in the simple example, you are using it for both:

Okay, but formatter should not be treated as a property of _selectedBox.
_selectedBox has no property named formatter.

This is the offending line:

if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)

You already have set formatter to the value of _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
Thus your conditional should read:

if (formatter.italic == false)

To simplify it to keeping formatter separate from the current format, let's
rewrite:

var currentFormat:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

  if (currentFormat.italic == false)
  {
   formatter.italic = true;
  }
  else
  {

  Okay, but in the simple example, you are using it for both:

  Okay, but formatter should not be treated as a property of _selectedBox.
  _selectedBox has no property named formatter.

  This is the offending line:

  if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)

  You already have set formatter to the value of _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
  Thus your conditional should read:

  if (formatter.italic == false)

  To simplify it to keeping formatter separate from the current format, let's
  rewrite:

  var currentFormat:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
  var formatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

if (currentFormat.italic == false)
{
 formatter.italic = true;
}
else
{
 formatter.italic = false;
}

   _selectedBox.setTextFormat(formatter);

   FUI - New code is this
  
   var formatter:TextFormat = _selectedBox.getTextFormat();
  
  if (_selectedBox.formatter.italic == false)
  {
  formatter.italic = true;
 }
 else
 {
  formatter.italic = false;

Hi, Stuart,
  
Based on the error message sounds like maybe you are trying to access
_selectedBox.formatter or something else invalid. Can you repaste your
   new
code after the change?

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading properties of a textbox [AS3]

2008-04-03 Thread Cory Petosky

Replace that with:

formatter.italic = !currentFormat.italic;

The conditionals aren't necessary in that situation. :)
