ActionScript 2.0 :: Auto-update Dynamic Text Box With PHP/SQL?
Mar 19, 2010
I have a dynamic text box that I'm loading data into from a PHP file using loadVariablesNum("data.php", 0);
The PHP runs a SQL query that fetches data from MySQL. The data in the MySQL database changes frequently, and I want to update the dynamic text box with the latest info.
How do you do that? Or is it possible? I assume you use setInterval.
Currently, it only updates the field if I visit the PHP file and refresh the data. Otherwise, the dynamic text box just displays the data from the last SQL query.

I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through.I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips .e.'_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.The code in _root is:
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_bu tton_text.text = "home";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_2.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our approach";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_3.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our work";

From my main timeline actions, how can I tell a dynamic text box inside a movieclip to update? I have a movie clip with the dynamic text box called catalog. The instance name for the text box is catalogtext. On the main time line, I am using a loop to repeatedly attach the catalog movie clip. I want the dynamic text to show the value of i, and each time the movie clip is reproduced, increase by 1 each time.
Here is my current attempt:
for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {
container.attachMovie("catalog","catalog"+i+"_mc", i+200);
mycatalog_mc = container["catalog"+i+"_mc"];
[code]....
Everything works fine, but the text box won't show the value of i. I must not be calling it correctly?

I'm using some dynamic text fields in my movie. When I change their contents in my code, they revert to the default style. For example, in the movie, they are Helvetica, style 75 bold. But when I update them with mytextfield.text = "something else", they revert to Helvetica regular. I have all the right styles embedded.

I'm using text that is set to "dynamic text". In actionscript 3 I tried:
instancename.text = "abc";
trace(instancename.text);
Trace returns "abc" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
In action script 2 I tried:
var1 = "abc";
instance1._text = "def";
trace(var1 + instance1._text);
Trace returns "abcdef" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.

How can I update the dynamic text content which is inside a button ?
In other words, how can you address a dynamic text inside a button ?
I want to change the text label of a button, on the fly.
Isn't there any other way to achieve this than "making" a button with movie clip instead od a "real" button ? Does that mean Buttons were not expected to have dynamic text in them ?

I have a series of dynamically created text fields that form a grid and I want people to be able to auto tab through each field in the grid. I want them to be able to enter in 1 character and then have the focus move to the next field in the grid.All of the TextFields are named "inputBox" with an ID number added to the end using the name property of the TextField class. So they are named as follows inputBox0, inputBox1, inputBox2, etc.Now for the code I am using to change focus to the next textfield:
stage.addEventListener(KeyBoardEvent.KEY_UP, checkTextField);
function checkTextField(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
var instanceName = e.target.name;

I created a flash that's loading dynamic text from an external txt file. It's ON AIR flash that you can see on top right on [URL]
Now the thing is that I WANT THIS TXT CONTENT TO REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY... because I am actually loading txt file that's getting updated every few minutes, but flash content does not update, so the visitor must refresh page on go to some other page so the content will change again.
How do I make this work so that dynamic text in flash change whenever external txt file content change, without refreshing or changing the page.

I have dynamic text field that must be a fixed width and height. The actual text that will populate the dynamic text field is variable. What I would like to do is to reduce the font size if the text does not completely display within the text field's dimensions. How I can accurately perform this? Also, I am using AS 2.

I'm trying to have a dynamic text field with a black background. I want the text to be of fixed width, but expandable height, and for the background to grow with the text field depending on the input. I looked at the "autoSize" property for TextField, but it looks like that only adjusts the width.
Some "pseudocode" for your consideration:
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextTitle.text="Title";
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextBody.text="Text body...";
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextBody.autoSize=true; // doesn't work; just for reference
rolloverInfoBox.expandableBackground.height=rollov erInfoBox.infoTextBody.height;

I'm working on an A.S 2 document that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size.At the minute I'm trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one.
Africadetails.autoSize = true;
Africaname.autoSize = true;
Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);
AfricaURL._y = (Africadetails._y) + (Africadetails._height) + (10);

I have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

don't spend time trying to read it because it's in danish Just so you can see how it works.I need it to change the final amount (last box) if I choose another one from the scroll down bar. (right now the final amount does not update when first option is changed.Its at simple array form which multiply with the second box and give me a anwser.
The code:
//This is used for the scroll down bar. It get's the info from a array.

I'm building a flash application (actually four of them) that pull a simple RSS feed from a site, display's the contents and gives the user options on what it wants to do with the updates. However, currently the refreshing is manual (e.g. client does it on their own digression). I like making modules / widgets mostly for myself at the moment to learn more. I had previous experience making a C# XMLSocket server for a flash application that ripped information off of windows media player in my home network which ran on my old archos 7 device. I could control my music on my desktop PC from anywhere in my apartment! Pretty cool stuff and it really got me reeled in.
I understand on making flash auto-check for the latest rss items, and could possibly do away with the manual "refresh" button. What I'd love to figure out, is there a way to have flash automatically update displayed contents out of a feed the second the RSS feed updates, or will it only be on a timer? Secondly, let's say I get some new items in my RSS feed, how would one kick back a) the amount of updated items b) the time in which the rss update was caught and c) kick some sort of message back to the user e.g. => "5 new entries, updated x minutes ago". Lastly some sort of caching locally would be awesome to store older xml entries. I have many questions to understand this fully but this is the ice breaker. Essentially this is my holy grail of questions on things I'd like to do with my flash project. My last step in this understanding process will be getting this into adobe AIR and having actionscript fire off a Toast notification. However, I'm taking the baby steps (Yes, I know I posted this in the Actionscript 2 forum) however this will allow me to better understand this on how to do it. Later on I will learn by myself how to port this over to AS3 and get that jiving with AIR.

I create a widget that displays the weather from a feed supplied from weather site, but after the initial load the weather isn't updated until the page is refreshed. Its not going to be web based widget so HTML refresh won't work. How would I go about getting the swf to auto refresh every 4 hours?
