Re: [Flashcoders] inserting an MC in a TextField (and speaking to it)

2009-01-28 Thread Matt S. 
It did work, actually, in terms of inserting it into the TextField, i
guess because the class name effectively functions as the Library
identifier. However, your tip regarding ID did the trick for
communicating with it, since I still couldnt modify it, the way I had
it. :)

thanks,

 Matt,

 I s'pose I focused too much on the second part of your question in my
 previous message. So anyway, if this

 src='com.myclasses.DropCap'

 actually works then more power to ya!

 If not:

 ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference:

 src: Specifies the URL to an image or SWF file, or the linkage identifier
 for a movie clip symbol in the library.

 So, if you have a movieclip in your library with a linkage identifier of
 'DropCap' (associated with a class 'com.myclasses.DropCap') you would use:

 var tString:String  = img src='DropCap' id=DC0
 style='padding:0px;margin:0px'/Lorem ipsom yadda yadda...;
 myTextField.htmlText = tString;
 myTextField.DC0.txt.text = Z;
