Sep 16, 2010
I am getting all data from the database through asp using loadVariableNum("get.asp",0,"GET") in a text box named xx.now i want to split it into further variables for manipulations. but i can't get the value from the textbox xx.i tried
OK, I have my php and MySQL working fine. I'm pulling the data. I found how to format the data that is returned in the php as XML. My problem is I can't get my Flash textbox to load the variable from the php file. Like most things, this is probably very easy if you know how.My flash dynamic textbox is given the variable name topTeacher. From what I understand, I don't need to worry about an instance name.My php file looks like this:
<?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die('Could not connect to server');
Basically I want to define a variable in a movieclip and then display that in a textbox outside of the movieclip. To be a little more specific I want to make a variable be false and then when a movieclip gets to a certain frame the variable is set to be true. The true will then be displayed in a textbox on the main timeline.
I have a php script that calls a result from the DB and gives it a variable. I then have a dynamic text box in flash that I want to say "goto read.php, find the variable and display the variable's contents in this text box"...
goal: Have a text box called "myText" update with the name of an instance that is clicked.Right now I have an instance of myText dynamically on the stage as an added childI also have seven instances of a building that all have individual instance names, bldg1,bldg2, bldg3, etc.I have created a variable called buildings: I also have a for each that makes the bldgNames the same as the buildings array.The problem arises when I want to click on the building and have the myText update with the actual building name (as described in my "trace"my code below.I would like, for example, when I click on the box that is entitled "Building 3" for the myText to read "bldg3".the whole code is:
Code: var myFont = new CenturyGothic(); var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
In the attached CS4 file I have attempted to have a button evaluate whether a variable (textbox) is equal to a number. If so, I want another textbox to say "correct" or trace "correct" either way. However, it doesnt appear to be evaluating the variable. I receive the "correct" trace everytime the button is released.
I tried to upload the file but it is too large. The code in the button is as follows:
on (release){ if (phoneNumber == "911"); trace ("correct"); }
I have a textbox entitled numbers, in which the user presses buttons and the number is added to the textbox. The same textbox has a variable assigned to it entitled phonenumber. When the talk button is pressed the code above should check the variable to see if it == 911. However no matter what I enter into the textbox, the trace always pops up and says correct.
i recently made a streaming mp3 player in flash. im pleased with my work, but i have one problem. i wanted to add a way to download the song that is currently playing. im using xml as the playlist. right now, i have:
I would like to pass a value from a text box on stage as the URL or filename to the NetStream.play() argument. example:
var url:String = url_text.text; var conn:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); conn.connect(null);
[Code].....
The point of the matter is that I'm pulling the values from JavaScript/HTML using the ExternalInterface which changes as the user selects next on a HTML page. The page name (URL) is being parsed and passed back as the video filename. I'm using the text boxes currently just to test/view the values being received and sent to JavaScript. The value send and receive fine, I just can not seem to pass the value into the NetStream.play(JavaScriptValue).
function getTextFromJavaScript(str:String):void { sending_ti.text = str; var jsArgument:String = sending_ti.text;
My employer is making a flash card and they want to customize it by passing a variable in the url that links to the card in order to fill in a dynamic text box.So the URL will have ?me=Bob on the end to but Bob's name inside the card.I've done this for them in the past but that was AS2 and I'm trying to use AS3 for this card. oward a code snippet or tutorial on the best way to accomplish this. If we could use an embedded font that would be a bonus.
I am trying to load an external swf from a dynamic scrolling textbox?I manage to only to get it to work by loading it as an .html page, but I want it to load in the main page. I tried _parent, _self, and _top I see no difference in using any of them. All of them are making the swf load into a blank html page.
I am using the render as html option. Any ideas on how to make a pop-up window from a dynamic scrolling textbox?
I have a file called content.php with the following code:
PHP Code:
<?php $phpcontent1 = "I want this text to display in a flash text field"; print("&swfcontent1=$phpcontent1");?>
Then I have a flash file with a text field that has both an instance name of "swfcontent1" & the variable name of "swfcontent1". The first keyframe in my time has the following actionscript in it:
Code: contentVars = new LoadVars(); contentVars.load("http://localhost/content.php");[code]....
When I test my movie, my text box shows "_level0.swfcontent1" instead of the actual variable contents.
I am trying to load html into a text box from a website. when i load to the text box, everything goes fine except that it is loaded as something that looks like this:
[Code].....
I just need to convert it to html. I understand a lot of the tags wont work the same way bc as2 doesnt accept them, but I can deal with those after. Here is my loader:
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
I'm trying to load a value from a .php file labeled $average into a dynamic textbox. I'm using this code to accomplish this, but I only get "undefined" in my textbox. Can anybody see if there's anything wrong or just a syntax error, or anything..
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
here's what I'm talking about Here is the FLA file I have three checkboxes (not mx components) and a dynamic textbox on which the "showtext" variable is assigned. I want the dynamic text box to display the labels attached to checkboxes when they return a value of 1 : (box one is checked, box2 isn't so the label doesn't appear, and so forth.)
I figured I need to use an array for the checkbox labels. I probably need a loop that verifies which checkboxes are checked (value=1). and use an array to combine the checked boxes with their respective label.
i have 2 set of textbox, 1 set of the text box contain 6 textbox and the other set of text box contain 12 textbox. how do i make it like for the first set of textbox to compare with the second set of textbox? eg. 1textbox1.text = 2textbox1.text and the first set of textbox right, each of the 6 textbox have to compare with second set of textbox which is 12 textbox.
Ok so I have a textbox with the variable name "Var_box" and I want the text to be the variable Var1Var2.
So for example: Var1 = User Var2 = George UserGeorge = "My name is george"
So then Var_box would write "My name is george".You obviously cant say Var_box = Var1 + Var2 otherwise Var_box would write "UserGeorge" not "My name is george".
i am trying to do this After you type in textbox A (eg." HAHAHA")And when you pressed a button "submit_mc""HAHAHA" will appear in textbox B i know it involve strings , but i tried my best but i cant figure out
