ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Flash Pagination Over Two Text Fields
Apr 13, 2010
I am trying to paginate text in flash using actionscript.Basically there is a fla file with a layer for the actionscript, a layer for the text fields and a layer with next and previous buttons. (next_btn and prev_btn).The flash file looks like an open book, with a multiline dynamic text field on the left page and also on the right page.I want to be able to paginate the String in the "text" varible so that it fillls page 1 of the open book and displays the next chunk of text on page 2 of the open book.Then, when the next button is pressed I want the next bit of next to appear on the left page of the book (page 3) and the next piece of text after that on the right etc etc.At the moment I can only get this to work for a single text field. I need to split the content over two text fields.[code]

Has anyone figured a way to do true pagination in dynamic text fields? I usualy do page breaks by hand in the content but am working on a project that would benifit greatly from smart pagination. As far as I know there isn't a way to find out if text overflows a textfield, but I don't know.

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.

I have a linked movieclip that contains two textfields.One of the textfields needs to have regular and bold text, so I thought I would use htmlText however it's only showing the regular font that I embedded?I made the textfield in Flash and called it "details".I also tried to make another textField in the symbol called, "invisi" and I set it not visible:invisi.visible = false;I embedded the BOLD version of the font in the invisi textfield, hoping this would make the "details" text field show the bold font...but no luck.

(working in AS2.0 due to player limitations)
In my flash application I draw in data from an XML. This data is for example 6 lines long in 1 language, but could be 20 in a different language. However the textbox on the screen can only populate 10 lines of text and I'd like to give the option to users to press the arrows to go to the next page (if there is a next page).What are my options to get this 'page'-effect?

we've started using a Flash-based customer management system at work, which we access as a Web service through Internet Explorer (I'm using IE6) and I have to enter each record's information (name, address, etc.) into an Excel spreadsheet.Our IT department has chosen not to develop data import/export capability for this system, so it's up to the end users to develop their own applications.I'd like to automate this data entry, so I'm trying to write a script that will access the Flash being displayed in the browser, and read/write various text fields from the screen.I've been using AutoIT for most of my scripting, but AutoIT doesn't have a way to read Flash objects.Is there some way to do this in JavaScript or some other common scripting language?

I have a movie clip with 5 frames. When I'm on frame 3 (main game play) and I use the setChildIndex command on an on-screen element that exists on the frame itself, the element in question will now be permenantly added to the stage, and will persist across the remaining frames (end level and end game). This behavior was not present in the project until I converted it to CS5. If I remove the setChildIndex command, the on-screen elements stop sorting their depth (as your would expect) and they no longer bleed into the next frame which is for level ending.
I am also having trouble with a dynamic text field. It's currently set to not be selectable, but when you mouse over the field it shows the cursor symbol for your mouse pointer, and when you click over it, a small block highlight appears on the left or right side of the field. You can't change the field contents, or even select them, but when you try a small selection black mark appears on the end of the field. I've destroyed and recreated this field, and the bahavior seems to be staying the same.

I am trying to figure out how to dynamically populate textfields in Flash. The text in the fields will either say ON or OFF based on the value of bstatus.var bstatus will either have a value of 0 or 1 I have the following textfields listed below.I'm not sure if the syntax is correct, but I was thinking that the text fields would be in an array, and I would create a for loop--that will go through the array in order to have the fields populated.
var textFields:Array = new Array();
textFields[0] = compTxt.text;
textFields[1] = bathLightTxt.text;

I need basically a way to convert a group of selected text in movieclips separately with Flash commands. For example, I know to select just text items in the stage is:
var theSelectionArray = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection;
for(var i = 0; i < theSelectionArray.length; i++){
if(theSelectionArray[i].elementType == "text"){
...
}
}
And I know to convert a selection in a movieclip is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol("movie clip", theName, "top left");
So I need to know the way to loop over the stage and convert each text field in a movieclip.

Say, i have a text field with some text in it, and i want to make it have a backgruond with alpha value (as in partially transparent, not sure how to make it sound good ^^). This text field reacts to mouse events, such as clicks and rolls out/over, and each event changes the background color.
I've done some digging and ran across flash.text.TextField.backgroundColor and flash.text.TextField.background properties of text fields. They're cool, but not enough to solve the problem. And obviously, if I change the text field's alpha value, the text will also become transparent.
I know I can create a movieclip below the text field and alter its properties to acheive my goal, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler way.

I think the title says it all. I'm building website and I've come half way now just to notice that my clients cant see my font that supposed to be there. What I've learned so far is that in static text fields, flash should embed it itself since I can't reference to it + embedFonts property not working.[code]...

Ok, I have looked around and I know that this question has been asked many times but I still dont understand. I am developing an ROI calculator and need to acomplish two things, i think one will fix the other but here goes. 1. I need to make sure that when a user inputs their number in the input text field if they us a comma I dont get the NaN as a return. 2. How can I incorporate commas into the final calculation answer. For example if they enter 10000 my net result currently comes back as 105600. I would like it to come back as 105,600. I dont necessarly need to format as currency to make this work.
I am using CS5 and AS3 for the coding on this. I am not very expierenced in coding in Flash, as a matter of fact the fact that I have made it this far is amazing.
Here is my current code:
stop();
CalcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, FindTotal);
function formatNumbers(num:Number, comma:Boolean):String {
[Code]....
I have looked at other suggestions and plugged them in with no luck.

New to AS3, and just went through the great Kirupa tutorial on parsing XML using AS3 My trace output is fine, but when I try to send that parsed data to a text box, only the last XML node appears in the text box (named dynamicText_txt).Here's my XML:
Code:
<ts><verticals>
<alarms><alarmQ1>Is there an alarm?</alarmQ1><alarmQ2>What component is the alarm on?

I have five individual movie clips that dynamically load names from five variables in a txt file (these all fade in and out and overlap the transition of the next). Every time the movie loops, I'd like the movie clips to display the next item in the list until every name has been listed - is this doable? Is there a better way to do this from within flash instead of loading the content dynamically?

I am trying to get some dyanmic text fields to work in my flash movie. I got one to work and have had trouble getting more than one. I think I kinda got it but it works but works funny. I am trying to load text in two different places. When I click on the first instance (Philosophy Section) nothing shows up. When I check the other instance (Eco_Conscience) the text shows up and then when I go back to the Philosophy Section it works. BUT it doesn't work on the first try. I am attaching code and link.

I'm working on a project with a flex component that I designed in flash and exported as a swc. The moment I changed two of the text fields in the flex component to from static to dynamic text fields, my app started throwing an error when I create a new instance of the flex component. I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@1dddb179 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
[Code]..
When I deleted the text fields from the stage and republished my game swc, it worked fine.

I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).
My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:
Computer 1 would have winner 1
Computer 2 would have winner 2
and so one........
Steps the code should do..
1. call function and load the "unique (name)." of the computer by going to ("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 1
2.then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
when i publish the file out there is no errors-
When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")
so my guess it is not seeing the path for new URLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");
or
new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash

I have a form that works fine except that when trying to navigate through input text fields with tab it would skip the last input text field and go to the submit button. So I used this to fix the problem: name.tabIndex = 1; and so forth. Now that problem is fix but I have a new problem. When I test the movie the input fields are populated with this: _level0.instance1.name Does anyone know the reason for the?

I'm looking for the best way to be able to have a user input their name, age, etc, and then place that data into a Flash Story book, to make it personalized. For Example:Name:_____Age:_____BOY/GIRL:____and then for example if the user decided to Enter: (Cooper, 7, Boy) the story would add those variables, so it might say:"Once upon a time, there as a 7 year old boy named Cooper, who lived in flying shoe."Ideally, I would want to be able to have the text auto format so that it looks like a seamless paragraph, no odd line breaks or spacing issues no matter how long the name they entered was, so for example if they entered "Cooper" or "Cooper William Johnson III", either way the text would still flow correctly

Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();
