This continues with one of my previous posts.My requirement: When I pull-in the 'Notice Headlines' from a mysql db, I need each 'Notice Headline' to be click-able. When each 'Notice Headline' is clicked the relevant data should load in "abc_txt". How to do this?
Current code:
senderLoad.sendAndLoad("www.abc.com/myphp.php",receiveLoad,"POST");
receiveLoad.onData = function(src) {

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.
I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.
I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.
Alright, so may be I'm an idiot but after playing with this code for hours I'm unsuccessful in getting this to work.All I want to do is load external text into a text box when I click on a button. I'm trying to execute this in AS3. I know how to do this in AS2 but I need to start working in AS3. Here is the code I've been using and keep getting errors.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("testText.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadIt);

I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.
The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............
If you click topic1 I want topic1.swf to load, click topic2 to load topic2.swf etc. What I am doing wrong with var url:String = "topic"[i]+".swf";?
[Code]...
I dont know what Im doing wrong, I have this for my servicios buttom:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "servicios";[code]....
and the same AS for my "portafolio" buttom, of course I changed the swf name.When I clic for example "servicios" it loads ok but when I clic after that "portafolio" it doesnt load, and viceversa, if I clic "portafolio" loads ok but after that if I clic "servicios" doesnt load,
I have a project that needs to take dynamic text and arc it. Similar to this: http:[url]...In this example, select a font then click create text item.At this point you can slide the meter to change the arc of the text. This is exactly what I need to do.My understanding of what needs to be done is I need to first break the letters of the text field into separate text fields, loop thru them then position and rotate each char to the desired arc. The problem is my trigonometry really bites. I have tried many tutorials and I have gotten similar results, mainly arcing text into a complete circle at different radiuses. But all I need to do is whats in the example, which is allowing the user to gradually arch the text.
View 0 RepliesIs there any way I can embed HTML in flash? I know I can do this with text boxes but is there any other way I can do it? If not I know theres is the load feature where I can load text from a text file. With the html text box editing, Can i link that to the text file?. As in when you edit the text box with html could i have the textbox's instance name equal to the text file? With this my issue is with the <a href> in one textbox, I would like when i click those it open another text file in a different text box.
Clarification: I have two text boxes in my flash file.One has current products. And the other is the description of the product they select. I would like a way to edit and change the products in the first text box without having to keep using the FLA file. Which is why i am using this code
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {trace(e.target.data);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
The contents of myText.txt are <a href=(not sure what to put here)> Product 1 </a> But all that does is put it in the text output section in flash.It does not show it in flash. I need help getting it to show up in a text box.That is the first part But the main problem is im not sure how to code the a href correctly so that when i click it, another text file opens in the second text box.So that when a user clicks on a product ,like "Product 1" It opens the correct description text file in the second text box.
I'm doing some experiments on images from xml document when clicked it will send a string text into a dynamic text in the stage. My image is now clickable but has a wrong argument in its function this is my code
Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

how do I stop the preloader to LOAD an item when I click in another item to load.. Is that possible? Here in my example the preloader runs perfect, but when I start another mouseevent CLICK the old loading still active (on BANDWIDTH PROFILER, but the Preloader Movie Clip is removed).. How Do I stop the event when another different loading starts?Not visual aspect but functional.
View 1 RepliesI was attempting to create a text box with a submit button, where, when the text box first appears, there is text inside the box itself, for example, "enter answer here". However, I would like to have the ability to automatically clear that text when the user clicks on the text box, rather than forcing them to clear it.I found this thread which seems like it should work, using FocusEvent http:[url]...... However,when I entered that into my code using the name of my own text field, neither of the functions is ever triggered by clicking on and then off the text box.I even entered a trace to make certain, and it isn't.Am I missing some key point?
View 2 RepliesAttached is an idea where I want the viewer to click on the box and the corresponding flv (swf) will load into the box with a preloader?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the following section of AS:
onClipEvent (load) {
//sets up a sound object, loads the .mp3 file and starts the sound.
this.faTrack = new Sound();
[Code].....
You do not need to import the sound file into Flash. You just have to make sure
that the .mp3 file is in the same directory as the .swf file. You should also make
sure that the .mp3 file is named the same as faFile in the FlashAmp .txt file.
The benefits of this method are that the .mp3 file only downloads if the user gets
to the bit in your Flash file where you call it. It also plays as it streams although there will be a slight delay as it buffers (FlashAmp will take account of this delay as the arrays are based on the position of the sound).
i wanted to load a random swf into a mc, as ever things have changed and I now want to load a random mc from my libary into a mc when a button is clicked.

View 2 RepliesI'm using a test file so I can see how a full website is going to work. I've got 5 layers:Background, title, menu, main contents, Actions.I have an empty movieclip that I call "contents-main". And it is placed in the proper location.On Frame 1 of the Actions panel, I have loadMovie("760-250-main.swf", "contents-main"); This works fine and loads the movie into the empty clip.On the menu layer, I have a button. What I want to do is click on that button and havea different movie load into the movieclip called "contents-main". I have tried everything on the tutorials that I can find and nothing will work.I also tried putting different variations and also putting the unloadMovie before loadMovie statement.
