Repositioning Text animation on a loop

Hi,

I am trying to reposition myText:TextField and resizing it when it loops. Unfortunately, this does not work. Do you have any solutions for me?

Basically, the text I have is drawn from an XML - and i would like it to reposition base on the x and y coordinate I give in the xml file. Within the loop, I state myText.x and myText.y , however these commands dont appear to have any effect.

Please help.

PS: Does Flasheff work on iphone app?

Try to reposition the flasheff instance which is used for applying the effect on your text instead of the textfield itself.
eg effect.x=14 and effect.y=120
effect->flasheff's instance name
FlashEff is a flash component so it only work in adobe flash cs and the swf files generated only works on devices that are supporting flash player.

This works!
New problem : Some multiline text loaded from the xml does not show the whole paragraph on effect.show ...only when effect.hide plays , can you see the full paragraph for an instant.

Any ideas?

Ps : regarding iphone : Can i implement flasheff in my app that is published using flash pro? Will it work?

here is my code...sometimes it cuts out the last line of the paragraph at line 3, sometimes line 4...sometimes line 6...lol. I am not sure whats going on.

var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); //declaring the variable to store the formating for text
txtFormat.font = "Times New Roman";
txtFormat.align = "left";
txtFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
txtFormat.size = 60;
txtFormat.leading = -25;
var myText:TextField = new TextField(); //declaring the textfield variable, assigning the textformat variable to it
myText.type = "dynamic";
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.antiAliasType = "advanced";
myText.multiline = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.autoSize = "center";
toplayer.addChild(myText);
myText.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat;
myText.htmlText = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
myText.height = 900;
myText.width = 550;
myText.x = 300;
myText.y = ((stage.stageHeight - myText.height)/6)*5-150;

Did you add/embed the font in your Flash library?

Hi kneo,

Yes I did. You are correct - it works fine as it - its when I put it inside a loop when things go wonky.
Randomly - part of my paragraph goes missing on 'show' animation, and then returns for a brief flash on 'hide animation'. So i know its there - and was read from the xml. It just wasnt animated.

I worked around it by adding the empty textfield on to the stage , instead of declaring it in actionscript. For some reason, that made it work.

If you have any information about why this happens, I'd be interested - but for now, problem solved...
