ActionScript 1/2 :: Hen I Tested Out The Movie Again, Only The "test" Static Text Box Words Show Up?
Feb 25, 2011
I have no understanding of even the most basic concepts, put it that way. Anyway, so I have 2 test boxes, one that is static and one that is dynamic. I made the dynamic one first, and on the same frame, I put the AS: var random:Number = 100; What I do know is that flash now recognizes that whatever dynamic text box with the variable label of "random" is a number. The output should also be a #, and when you test out the movie, a 100 should be in the dynamic text box that you just created, even though you don't see this on the stage before testing. So I tested it out, and sure enough, a "100" shows up. Next, I put another text box that is static, and I typed "test" in it. (Without quotes) The two text boxes should have no relation, but when I tested out the movie again, only the "test" static text box words show up, and the 100 in the previously created text box is gone. I've tried moving the text boxes to different places and changing variables and such, but nothing works, as far as I know.

I have a word,its content is follows:var txt:String="abcdefg";I want to show word from the first letter to the last letter,the word effect is one by one. For example,at the beginning I only show the first letter 'a',the 'a' size is big,such as 30,and then the letter 'a' size minish gradually to 20.Then show the second letter 'b',first,the letter 'b' size is big also,such as 30,and then the letter 'b' size minish gradually to 20,and the letter 'b' is behind the letter 'a',and so on with letter 'c'. When all letters show,the effect stops.

i have a 15 frame movie in flash cs4i have a bg layer comprised on inanimate movie clips (so that I can apply drop shadows to the objects)i have 4 layers of animated movie clips that have imbedded bone animations. when i say imbedded i mean that when i double click on them, i can access the bone animation. (i did this so that I can hold the bone animated object in a movie clip that i can apply a drop shadow)i have a hotspot layer that is a transparent rectangle so that when the user moves the mouse over this area, the timeline should play and animations startnow here is the actionscript:Frame 1:

I'm dynamically loading a file that will indicate when to show certain words at certain frames. However, I'm having trouble with the concept of timeline control from ActionScript (I'm building everything programmatically in Flash Builder). Let's say my tuples has frame and word:
5, "duck"
13, "cow"
22, "pig"
There is a sprite associated with each. What I would like to do is something like the following:
for (frame in timeline) { //should iterate from frame 0-22 (last frame in list)
if (frame in list) {
list[frame].alpha = 0;
}}
I already know that my display of sprites works and whatnot, I'm just confused on how to play through the timeline in this kind of way, or if it's possible to dynamically do this. Related, can I control how fast the timeline plays? To give a more thorough explanation, I'm looking to visualize word appearances over time in a text. So "duck" may appear as the 5th word in a corpus, "cow" as the 13th word, etc. My list contains tuples of word positions (unique) and the word that appears at that position.
I have a small selection of words that I'm interested in from the corpus, so not every position is represented. I would like to be able to have a SWF movies that essentially starts at the beginning of the corpus, go through my word list in order of appearance in the corpus, and then display the word (and have it fade out). So, if there's a word at position 5 and 10, then should appear in much more rapid succession than if there's a word at position 15, and the next one doesn't appear until 50. Basically, I would like to keep that temporal component.

I can't figure out why my font (type) hasn't been showing up in my Test Movie. I tried it first along with my first scene, and it didn't work. I put the type in a second scene (now 74, don't ask) within the same file, and it still doesn't show up. I'm using a mask to make the type appear and I know from tutorials, I have it going in the correct position to reveal the type. It's clearly not showing up. Even in Test Scene, it's not showing up. I've exhausted all my experience (which isn't saying much) to try

I have just switched to CS4. When I updated some text in a movie on the site (originally built in an older version of Flash from back in the Macromedia days) things went fine until I published the document. The movie file looks fine but random characters have disappeared and some portions that were Italics have become regular. Everything stays good in the movie file, but the published one loses characters. I tried publishing for flash 5 but that made no difference. What should I be trying?

My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

I have a static text movie clip (text has been completely broken down). What I want is to fade in then fade back out. I have the first part working, it's getting to fade back out. Here's what I have so far:
Welcome._alpha=0;
Welcome.onEnterFrame=function() {
this._alpha+=5;
}
This section works great. I just can't seem to grasp how to make it fade back out.

i've been trying to make a scrollbar and everything works fine, until i have to connect it with the text. theres an image and a title that i want to scroll with the (static) text so i created a movie clip (instance name cafe_txt), and when i wrote the script and tested the movie, i come up with the 1120 error that cafe_txt is not defined.So i changed the clip(thinking that the problem was the scrollbar had to be in the same instance as the text) so that the scrollbar was inside, and i come up with error 1067(1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type flash.text:TextField.)
I've tried changing names, double checking that instance names are correct,moving things, changing the text so that its dynamic not static(if the scrollbar is connected to just the dynamic text it works,it just doesnt scroll the full length of the text) here's the code in my stage:
scrollbar_mc.textField = cafe_txt
and my code from the scrollbar.as file:

how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.

I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.

Why is that whenever I cut a frame, clear the frames in a timeline, paste it in new frame then test the clip, the whole thing starts to act funny?I just don't understand why that happens - it's supposed to run smoothly though it's on a new frame, right? Is there a way to maintain the movie clip when tested though some frames were cut then pasted on a new frame?

I am using Flash CS4. To illustrate, I created a new flash file and added a short tick sound to the library. I set the properties of the sound to export to Actionscript and named the class "overSound". I added a Movieclip object to the stage to represent a button and gave it an instance name of "overButton". On frame 1 of the main timeline I added the following code:

I am trying to do this also, only with one static image at the beginning and then the option to play the flv file: Here is where I am at the moment:In the .fla file in Flash CS4 Have the FLVPlayback Component and the FLVPlaybackCaptioning Component (with related .xml file) plus the Caption Button Component inserted, and all work fine.At this point have made the video with controls the bottom layer on the timeline. The FLVPlayback Component instance name is vid. Next layer is the still image as a graphic symbol.Top layer is the actions layer.On the actions layer I have place the code as shown in the previous answer, before you tweaked for the two videos:I get five compiler errors, which I have attached a screenshot of as a jpg file. I am very new to AS, understand code, but not AS code.

check out this website first for what I'm going for:

The header is a graphic of a guy's head and a car.
I want to design the same kind of page but my header graphic will have a cartoon head instead of that guy's head and it will animate.
Now If the user does not have flash installed I would like to have a static header image appear, like a .jpeg or a .gif, instead of the .swf header.

How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when people go to a new section of my website.

I have a scenario where I want to dynamically add words of text to a container so that it forms a paragraph of text which is wrapped neatly according to the size of the parent container. Each text element will have differing formatting, and will have differing user interaction options. For example, imagine the text " has just spoken out about ". Each word will be added to the container one at a time, at run time. The username in this case would be bold, and if clicked on will trigger an event. Same with the news article. The rest of the text is just plain text which, when clicked on, would do nothing.
Now, I'm using Flex 3 so I don't have access to the fancy new text formatting tools. I've implemented a solution where the words are plotted onto a canvas, but this means that the words are wrapped at a particular y position (an arbitrary value I've chosen). When the container is resized, the words still wrap at that position which leaves lots of space.I thought about adding each text element to an Array Collection and using this as a datasource for a Tile List, but Tile Lists don't support variable column widths (in my limited knowledge) so each word would use the same amount of space which isn't ideal. how I can plot words onto a container so that I can retain formatting, events and word wrapping at paragraph level, even if the container is resized?

I'm making a project in which I have a input/output text box. I'm trying to restrict the words that are able to be said in the input box, but I can't seem to figure out how I'd do that. I'd think that I'd use .replace, and possibly an if function which tells it that if a word used does not equal the allowed words, to replace it with something such as ###.
