View 3 Repliesi am loading all my text content from an external XML file....now i want to use html tags in that file (XML)....
View 3 RepliesI'm loading content through an XML file. Most of the content is working correctly. Flash is creating buttons based on some of the content in the XML file, the rest of the content in the XML file is static text and images.
Everything at first loads fine, the buttons all work, they change the text values but for the life of me I can't figure out why its not changing the image. I tried to create a function to remove the first image then load the new one but that didn't work.
Code:
function DisplayInfo() {
clientwork.txtclient.text = this.client_text;
clientwork.txtlink.htmlText = this.link_text;
clientwork.txtdesc.htmlText = this.desc_text;

I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??
loadVariablesNum("testimonials.txt", 0);
gotoAndPlay("load");
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
I use .txt files a lot with flash to load external news and updates. Although you can use the loadVariablesNum() command to load the .txt files is there anyway to edit and save the external files in flash? e.g. say I have a text box and a submit button in flash is there some way where I can add the text boxes content to a .txt file?

I'm having a "problem" with loading an external .swf in my main flash swf movie (which is a website). When the external .swf loads and displays itself on the main swf (website), the complete external swf file is viewable. To clarify: this external .swf has a world map that moves with a tween. If the animation is played within the main swf, I can see the whole world map and not just only that specific part of the world map that is visible on the "original" .swf
Make a mask over the complete external.swf? Where should i make the mask in the external .swf itself or on the movieclip in my main swf (website)?
Ive been looking into whether or not, it is possible to load the entirety of site content dynamically from a text file. I know, how to specifically choose and reference from one txt file to a dynamic text block. But, is there a way to have one huge file? That is to say, can I target certain things within a txt file?
View 2 RepliesI'm loading a external text file to flash and according to the number present in the text file i'm trying to do a IF - ELSE command. It's not working coz the value I load from the external file is string. How can i get this as intiger.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a preloaded for loading the main content of the swf file. I put my main program code on frame 2 and put this code on frame 1:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.net.*;

My issue is it does not seem to track the progress. The trace statement in the onProgress function only displays after it is fully loaded. I thought this was suppose to loop.
However that content is being served without extension,- "myMovieClip", "myPicture".
So I need to find a way for checking extension or file type of my loading content - *.swf, *.png, *.jpg ?[code]...
I'm trying to load different XML content with buttons. Basically all i'm able to do right now is have the XML load when I test the movie. Outside of that I haven't been able to get my script correct to call up the XML when a button is clicked.Here's the code i've been trying:
var content_req: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.kirupa.com/net/files/sampleXML.xml");
var content_ldr: URLLoader = new URLLoader (content_req);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);[code]....
So this is wrong because when i export my movie and click on the button I get this message:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null. at flash.text::TextField/set text()
at dynamicText_fla::MainTimeline/getnewText()
Also, when the XML does load into the text field, I'm getting the entirety of the XML document, not just the bits of information that I want. It wasn't doing this before when I would just export the movie and the XML information would come up in the output panel.

I have a menu whee you can choose a picture to lead, works great with first selection, but when you choose a different picture it loads over the last picture,I want to substitute the content of that movie clip not to load all the pictures in the same space.

I have a dynamic text box that is loading in a text file. It seems to be doing this perfectly well. However, some HTML tags seem to break it. <b> makes the text dissapear. I tried doing a <span> on it, and changing the font-family with CSS, but I dont think its reading the CSS at all.

When using the "Display data from an external file" tutorial from this site, I ran into a problem. It loads the text, but it only loads a certain number of characters... I am trying to load a few paragraphs of text but it stops loading halfway through the text file.Can someone please tell me how to get it to read the whole text file?I need it to read from a text file, so xml is out of the question. it must be editable by someone with no computer knowledge so I'm trying to make it as easy for them to change as possible.I am in a rush to fix this problem i'm having. I am searching, but hopefully someone will be able to give me a fix that will make it quicker.
