I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them.I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.
I've been asked to make a flash countdown timer. I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them. I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. The idea is that the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.
Is it possible to change part of the text in a dynamic text field using Actionscript? For example can I change the color of some words that are in the middle of a sentence?
Is it possible to make dynamic text boxes display only full words from an xml feed? At the moment I have a selection of feeds that are supposed to run into each other, but if some of the text is longer than expected I get the first one or two characters of a word tagged on at the end. Is it possible to have the flash read whether it has character space left to display the next word in the xml?
I know it doesn't really recognise spaces etc and just pulls in the info within the node, but maybe there's a work-around if you want to do what I'm trying?
I am a complete rookie in ActionScript2.0/Flash.I just started learning regarding a project. My problem is I want to display data from MySQL in a DropDown Menu in Flash. the SendAndRecieve functionality only aids us to receive any responses,right?(Please correct me If I am Wrong.
The input fields are a 'Classic Text' input field, and part of a Flash app I made last year for a client. The Flash was made with Flash CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.4, and was published last year and has been working all year.At some point recently I upgraded to Flash CS5 (this time on a PC), and I also had to re-compile the Flash app for a miscellaneous reason (a new image in the app). I left the publish settings alone (Flash 9, AS3) and re-published the Flash and put it up live. As far as I can tell everything was fine.Now the client is coming to me saying they can't enter numbers on the input fields, only letters !!!Aside from the transition to CS5, or an upgrade in Flash Player in the browser, I can't think of what else would cause a problem.
In troubleshooting this, I did notice for the first time the feature of 'TLF Text'. I have never used it, but when I copy the form MC to a test file and run it with TLF fields, they accept all characters including numbers. When I switch a field back to Classic Text, I can no longer enter numbers.
is there a way to only allow a user to enter numbers in a text feild. setting embed text to numbers only worked for a while, but have to embed all now.
I need to create a text field where the user can only write numbers from 3.0 up to 12.0 with any decimal. With any number he imputs i need another text field to store the number lowered to its nearest .5 number.
for example
input 3.1 result 3.0 input 3.4 result 3.0 input 3.6 result 3.5 input 4.6 result 4.5

I am working on a maths game which involves generating some large numbers in AS3. When I pass these numbers into a textbox they appear as e.g. 300000, I would like them to appear as 300,000.Is it possible to format a text box to do this?
The preloader works perfect but I would like it to display text instead of numbers as it loads. So it would be like "one, two, three, four,...." What do I need to do?Code is below
does anyone know of a script that will take up to 500 words per conversion, or does anyone know a application that will be able to do this? unlimited amount of words would even be better.
I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.
I have a text inside a xml file and i would like to display this text in a dynamic text field, using the xmlConnector.The files are at the following address:[url]............
I have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.
I ran in to a problem I could not solve for a very long time While I was using Actionscript 3 in order to change the text of a classic text object in my .fla flash file, I did not see any change in my text field, and noticed that it doesn't display any numbers and some other characters (just some specific letters DID work).
hey i need to figure out how to make a text field that will display text with else/if functions, basically on my program with a certain output i want a certain phrase to appear depending on which output. how would i go about doing this?
