ActionScript 1/2 :: Looping Dynamic TextBox To Update Its Content?
Feb 24, 2011
I have a 100 frame movieclip with a dynamic textbox inside that outputs the current frame. This movieclip gradualy goes from frame 100 - frame 0. Would I need this textbox on 100 frames with code on each or just 1 stretched through the 100 frames? I can get it to say 100, when its on the 100th frame but its doesn't go to 99 98 etc.
I tried:
mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
mc.text = _currentframe;
}
but that doesnt work.
I have a dynamic textbox which is being assigned a variable. The textbox is set to render as HTML and all fonts are loaded.The following variables appear fine in my textbox:
varText = "This is <b>bold</b>"; varText ="Two is > One."; but this one
I've got a movieclip, which has got a dynamic text element.The movieclip uses a package for its codeThe package if obviously derived from the MovieClip classI've got a timer, that updates the dynamic text field every second.When debugging the code, I see that the timer works well. Its updates the value of the dynamic text field.
I want to update a twitter status from a textbox in flash and use a button CLICK to pass the status to twitter. It goes like this:
[Code]...
The problem is in my languages we have 3 extra characters called. So in twitter I get this error message: Invalid Unicode value in one or more parameters So the problem is that I have to pass my String as utf-8, I think so at least. Is it a way to URL encode a String in as3?
Could you please tell me how this photo animation effect is achieved - see the pictures that slide seamlessly to the left every say 3 seconds (the pictures just below the BIGSTOCKPHOTO logo).. Site- www.bigstockphoto.com
I have noted this effect being used in many other sites.. And none of them seem to employ flash for making this. Please let me know whether this is just JS or whether its purely a CSS based effect, and probably a place where i can read on how to make this.
I created a newsreader movie that is populated by a textfile. I also created an admin movie to modify the textfile with a bit of PHP. The theory is to update the textfile for the newsreader movie from the admin, making editing the original newsreader.fla unnecessary. However,I would like to update the information without a browser refresh. I thought I might run into some browser cacheing issues when trying to update the data real time, so my idea was to use the localConnection method to update the newsreader with the content that is being saved to the textfile. I thought this would be a workaround for the browser cacheing the old textfile contents. This works fine locally, but when tested from a browser, the localConnection idea doesn't seem to work. In other admin demo's, after the user saves the info, I just provide a link to the textfile to update the browser cache. When refreshing the browser, the content is updated. I would like to find a way to do this in a real time situation. Here is a link to a small tutorial I tried to write using this method. The source files are available on the second page. Why does this work so well locally but not in a web browser?
I've built apps that connect to a server. But this time a client has asked for an app with no need to connect to a server to update content (images,videos,text). It will be Android tablet to a Windows laptop via USB. It will be for end user no dragging and dropping into specific folders using USB debugging. I was thinking I may need to build an app for the laptop (content manager) and then the app for tablet. Is a framework out there that could jump start this?
can't figure out why the dynamic text boxes in my dynamic clip arent picking up the variable when I loop through this recordset!the trace (you'll see here right after I try two ways to assign the variable) traces the correct info back..
I've been asked to incorporate a cover flow into a project I'm working on. Although there are many components available I've been asked for it to loop round i.e. the slideshow has no left and right end, when the last item in the XML is reached it seamlessly keeps scrolling by going back to the start of the array. Does anyone know of a coverflow component with this function?
I am trying to create a website. The main timeline has graphics, movie clip buttons and a movie clip which is the background of the content. Within the background I have another movie clip which has the text and fades in. What I am trying to do here is make the movie clip button trigger the content movie clip that its within the background movie clip. I tried everything but keeps going in loops.
how it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
I've been working with Flash for over 3 years, but I can't figure this one out. I've got a body of text, half of which are bulleted points designated by <li></li>. It's loaded into a html-ised dynamic textbox.
[Code]....
It displays fine as is. However, if I make the box selectable, and select any part of the bulleted list, the ENTIRE body of text turns into a giant bulleted list, including the non-bulleted portion at the beginning. I've managed to replicate this bug with Flash 8 and CS3, using a variety of flas made from scratch.
Im trying to build an XML / Loader that has the ability to to be fed a large to infinite amount of content/assets dynamically, IE, you can add all the swf's/text you desire via the XML file, without having to edit the fla / as doc. ORRRRR if you do have to edit the script, it would have to be like after the user added 30 assets (which theyll never have to)heres my current "code", Im stuck as to where / how to correct the "image1.gif" string so you can add as many assets there.[code]
What I'm after is either loading an asp page with variables or connecting to an SQL database in order to pull out some values to display in a flash movie. When we have is a daily food menu, which I want to display in flash using a dynamic text box. Looking around on the internet, I believe that I can either pull it from the SQL database, or load an ASP page and pull the variables from there.
I have a sort of login, where you enter four digits, if correct you go to another frame. If incorrect you'll have an mc displayed. Easy stuff. Now I have a keypad where you punch the numbers in, and they display inside a dynamic textbox. I have a clearkey mc that I'd like to have operational. My initial thoughts were to use atm.textfield.text == "" that way it'd clear it. Nope, no luck. Any ideas on how to reset a dynamic textbox to blank?
For my problem, i using 5 random generated number and display it in a dynamic textbox, then i computed the 5 number using a formula and put the result in another dynamic textbox (name it as text_string). Then i create a button that function as to read the value in the text_string text box, for example, if the number is 5 then gotosomewhere, else terminated. Therefore, no matter what the result is the flash still terminated, it seems that the button unable to read the value in the text_string text box.
This is my code: var newNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2); var newNumber2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2);
I have a dynamic multiline text box txt1(instence Name) which get the data form xml file.
i have other two textboxes instence Name txt2 and txt3 i want that the first line (only first line) show in the txt2 and rest of the contents in txt1 show in the txt3.
I am trying to load data from an XML file to a dynamic textbox but only on a certain condition. I have tried both switch cases and if statements but they do not seem to work. When I play my SWF file WITHOUT using an if statement or switch case and just use:
my_xml = new XML(); my_xml.load("filmTimes.xml"); my_xml.onLoad = my_function;
[code]....
everything works fine. But when I place an if statement around it (if (day.text == "Sunday") ) then nothing happens at all and no syntax errors occurr either.
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');
When i hover over my button it successfully updates my dynamic text and upon moving off the button the text clears. the function works how i want it to but is there a more efficient way of doing this? i have many buttons that will update the text so it seems very long whinded to do it the following way.[code]...
Right now I'm us Flash CS4 and creating a flash program in AS3. After a certain frame the dynamic text boxes that I have set up refuse to display text when required. I've gone over every line of code and every possible set up and I can't understand why it will not work. I've made sure all the dynamic text boxes have the instance names properly in place naming them all "talkBox". I've made sure all the code is written properly talkBox.text = "Insert Text Here!" There should be absolutely no reason in the world why the dynamic text boxes shouldn't be working.
My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.
I'm using Flash CS5, and dcepending on what the user does, I'm changing the font in a dynamic text box using gFormula = "Na<font face='GG Superscript Sans'>+</font>" txt_Names.htmlText = gFormula The correct font appears on the computer where the font is installed but not on other computers, so I assume that it is a font embedding problem. I have embedded the font.
I have four input text boxes that I want a user to enter numbers. I have their instance names provided on the textbox itself, but nothing declared in the AS. I have one total box as a dynamic, with the name totalbox. If i wanted to have the total box display the sum of all numbers from the input boxes, how would one go about this. I've seem formulas around, just not sure how to get the numbers to actually show up in the dynamic total box.
