fosFORO is a Text Formatter in Flash which allows you to use emoticons and other features in your textfields. It’s simple to use, and with a few lines of code you can define the emoticons to use.

An example :

fosFORO SVN repository

[b]Text[/b] : Display bold text

[u]Text[/u] : Display underlined text

[hl]Text[/hl] : Highlight text

[quote]Text[/quote] : Display quoted text (one level, what means you can’t quote a quoted text)

[code]Text[/code] : Display Colored Text as Code (use a modification of FlashTextFormatter Classes)

[url=link]Text[/url] : Used to put links (the old [url] tag is now [erl])

[img=url] : Display an image or a SWF (buggy at SWFv8)

[youtube=code] : Display a YouTube’s video, where “code” is the code of it.

Add new emoticons is really simple, just create a new MC, link it to use with ActionScript and then put this line at your code :

Fosforo.addEmo(code,linkName);

For Example :

Fosforo.addEmo(":beer:","beer");

Just really simple to use :

//Import the Class
import Fosforo;
 
class Test{
 
	public static function main() {
 
		// Add some emoticons
		// Fosforo.addEmo(code,linkName);
		Fosforo.addEmo("xD","chino");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(":D","sonrisa");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(":beer:","beer");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(";)","guino");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(":p","lengua");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(":love:","love");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(":ninja:","ninja");
 
		Fosforo.addEmo(":cc:","cristal_cannabis");
 
		// Create a MC that contents all the stuff		
		_root.createEmptyMovieClip("fos",300);
 
		// Create fosFORO Object (MovieClip,x,y,width,relation,height)
		_root.no = new Fosforo(_root.fos,30,30,490,4/3,400);
 
		
		// Add some text (and parse it) to the fosFORO Object
		_root.no.parseText('Lorem xD leifaerbfcaer uax reuixi rueauybae pede eu [b]rhoncus vestibulum[/b], eros pede hendrerit felis, eu commodo orci massa eget orci. ',"text");
 
 
	}
