Comments on: TextField.html default in F8 different than F7 http://blog.tracethis.com/archives/2006/02/21/textfieldhtml-default-in-f8-different-than-f7/ Flash, SWF Studio, and the world around me Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:51:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: mleonard http://blog.tracethis.com/archives/2006/02/21/textfieldhtml-default-in-f8-different-than-f7/#comment-72 mleonard Mon, 13 Mar 2006 19:43:41 +0000 http://tracethis.com/?p=43#comment-72 I have just upgraded from Flash 7 to Flash 8 and have come across both this difference and the tabIndex bug in the View class. I also have a large component library which extends the Flash V2 components so I guess thats why we have both found the same issues. If I find any more issues I'll let you know.

Which means that implementation of authortime textfields in Flash 8 is buggy (unless it's a feature they never told us about? ;) I guess the point I was trying to make is that the html property is not the only property set by the property inspector that that gets negated when exporting to Flash 8; I’ve observed it happening with Bold and Italic settings as well.

(JoeFlash) I'd agree that it's a bit confusing with the change, especially when you regularly export to different FP's. “If you create an instance of a dynamic textfield on the stage and give it a bold formatting in the property inspector, when published to flash 8 it will ignore the bold property and show the text as normal; published to flash 7 it shows up bold as it should.

No, that wouldn't work. setTextFormat will not change the html property nor will it fix the publising to Flash Player 8 so that the DEFAULT setting is the same as Flash Player 7 and 6. You would need to set the html property to false, but that's not the point at all. I know how to get around the bug, but it's still a bug. “use setTextFormat on the specific textField, and all will be fine.”

If you create an instance of a dynamic textfield on the stage and give it a bold formatting in the property inspector, when published to flash 8 it will ignore the bold property and show the text as normal; published to flash 7 it shows up bold as it should. Which is making me a little hesitant to publish in flash 8, to be sure. Makes me wonder how many other bugs around the TextField object there are in Flash 8?
