3. 256 Levels Or Recursion?
I am creating a maze game which uses a random maze generator which has the attached code in it Unfortunately,this generates the following error [Q]256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.[/Q] I have measured the program (i originally made it in javascript, in which it works), and it can reach upto 1100 levels of recursion. Is there anyway of bypassing the error? Thanks [hr] function ClearPoint(myarrGrid,x,y) { newx = 0; newy = 0; intCount = 0; g_intDepth = g_intDepth + 1; arrGrid[(y*W)+x] = 1; intCount = ValidCount(arrGrid, x, y); while (intCount > 0) { switch(Math.round(Math.random() * 1234) % 4) { case 0: if (ValidMove(arrGrid,x,y-2) > 0) { arrGrid[(y-1)*W+x] = 1; ClearPoint(arrGrid,x,y-2); } break; case 1: if (ValidMove(arrGrid,x+2,y) > 0) { arrGrid[(y*W)+x+1] = 1; ClearPoint(arrGrid,x+2,y); } break; case 2: if (ValidMove(arrGrid,x,y+2) > 0) { arrGrid[(y+1)*W+x] = 1; ClearPoint(arrGrid,x,y+2); } break; case 3: if (ValidMove(arrGrid,x-2,y) > 0) { arrGrid[(y*W)+x-1] = 1; ClearPoint(arrGrid,x-2,y); } break; default: break; } intCount = ValidCount(arrGrid, x, y) } g_intDepth = g_intDepth - 1 }

Wordwrap

by kleio78 » Thu, 17 Aug 2006 05:56:51 GMT

I'm trying to create a multiline textbox in actionscript. See code
below. The text I'd like to wrap is "this.description" a string read in
from an XML node that contains linebreaks. However, Flash truncates
text after the linebreaks, and will also not wrap long lines of text.
But when I do a trace() on the text at the end, it's returning the
entire string correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

this.textBox2=this.createTextField("tb2", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
this.screenWidth/2, this.shell._y+this.captionOffset+boxFormat1.size*2,
this.screenWidth/2, this.captionSize);

var boxFormat2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
boxFormat2.color = 0xCCCCCC;
boxFormat2.align="left";
boxFormat2.font="embeddedArial";
boxFormat2.size=this.captionSize-12;

this.textBox2.embedFonts=true;
this.textBox2.multiline = true;
this.textBox2.wordWrap = true;

var tempText:String = clean(this.description);
this.textBox2.text=tempText;
		
this.textBox2.setTextFormat(boxFormat2);
trace(this.textBox2.text);

1.Safari dynamic text wordwrap problems

I'm having issues with dynamic text fields in safari.  The text does not seem 
to be wrapping correctly.  Most of the text wraps but on some lines there are a 
few words off to the right of the text box that can't be seen.  Yes, the text 
box is set to wordwrap. Has anybody ever heard of this happening before.  I 
don't think it's a known issue because i can't find any info searching google. 
This only happens on the safari browser, every other browser displays the text 
flawlessly.

 Please help.

2.textField.autoSize/wordWrap question

Hey,

Quick question. I'm trying to right justify various sentences, 1-3 lines of 
text each in a separate text box, and then
position the text boxes, dynamically. Here's what I have, but the syntax of 
the actionscript is messing me up.

myText.autoSize = 'right';
myText.wordWrap = true;
this._y = [previous item]._y + [previous item]._height;
myText = [text goes here];

For one line of text, it works fine. For more than one line of text, it only 
shows the first line, and then adds another half line to the text box, but 
doesn't display more text. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy

3.Wordwrap does not work

Hi !

 I have a dynamice text field which uses a variable which is set externally.  
The problem is that the words do not wrap round the text box, so that only 

 "There has been a dispensing error and he is tak" appears whereas 

 "There has been a dispensing error and he is taking the wrong dose" should 
appear.

 Any help would be much appreciated

 Chris
