ActionScript 3 :: Rendering Text - Adding Label Above Each Sprite
Feb 4, 2011I'm having a bit of confusion about how to render text in a pure AS3 project. There are classes like flash.text.StaticText but these are designer-only, you can't create them in code. I was half-expecting the Graphics class to have text-rendering options but alas, no. Specifically I was going to add a label above each player's sprite with their name, health %, etc. So I expected to add a child text-element or draw text using Graphics in some way... it's read-only and should not support user-input, I just want to draw text on-screen.

Oct 14, 2009i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?

View 10 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Text To A Dynamic Text Field?
Mar 12, 2009How to add text to a dynamic text field so that a line of text is created, and you can keep on adding to it. I need it to simply add a number to the text line everytime certain buttons are pushed rather than multiplying it like a score in a game and I think I have gone wrong somewhere.
Here's my example: I have multiple buttons on the stage and each button has a different value applied to it (eg: BTN1 has 1, BTN2 has 2, BTN3 has 3 and so on...)
So (as an example) I was wanting to end up with the following in my dynamic text field "1132" if "BTN 1" was clicked 2x and "BTN 3" was clicked 1x and "BTN 2" was clicked 1x......
which equals...... 1132
I'm trying to use the following actionscript but instead of it adding to my line of dynamic text it adds to it like so... 1+1 = 2
BTN1...
on (release) {
_root.equationcount+=1;
}
I'm now wondering if I should be using "count+" at all? My var for the dynamic text field is "_root.equationcount"

Sep 2, 2005I have a movie that contains a series of radio button groups, which each have their own accompanying dyn text box. When a certain radio button is selected, a pre-determined value is loaded into each respective groups' text box, via "onRelease".
Now, I can get these values to appear fine in each text box, but I then have a fourth text box (amount_total), into which I want to have the sum of all the previous text box's values.
I have a submit button with the following actions on the first frame of the timeline:
onSubmit = function (){
_root.amount_total = Number(_root.total_surf) + Number(_root.total_music) + Number(_root.total_video);
}
Now, when I hit the submit button NaN is returned.

Oct 9, 2008I have a main menubar.fla file, which has a document class on it linking to a menubar.as. the as3 file is just some simple Papervision3d stuff, and creates a few buttons on the stage from the library. Here you can see the project as it is now I am trying to make it so when your mouse leaves, the the head will tween back to facing forward. But to find the mouse leaveing, I am using the code found HERE In an FLA without a document class, it works fine, but when I add it to my menubar.fla I get the errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
TextField.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.
The first one comes from the text box alone on the stage.I had a similar problem when adding the buttons, that eventually made me link them for actionscript and just create them directly in the AS file, because placing them on the stage threw similar errors. I would do that for this code too, but according to the source site, "This event is only available added to the stage."

2.

May 24, 2010This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<
