Flash Items Vanished - Directory Only Changing The Output .swf File And Used All Of The Same Html Files

Aug 11, 2009

I am new to flash and decided to start out using templates to gain a beter understanding. I grabbed a template - that when I went to save it said it was an MX version - once I began to make changes in it re-save and publish it I noticed that some of the elements were missing. I thought it was something I did so I copied the entire directory and just opened the .fla and saved it without making a change and then published it and the items were gone again. I saved it in the same directory only changing the output .swf file and used all of the same html files

Flash 5: Changing Variables For Dynamic Text

Jul 17, 2009

My .txt file is called my_text.txt

Inside I have:
myText1=This is test 1.
&myText2=This is test 2.

I tested it out with my dynamic text. If I made the variable myText1, it loaded the first line. If I made it myText2, it loaded the second line. All seemed to be fine.

I have a dynamic textbox, variable named names. I want to be able to change the variable in order to get it to load whichever line of text I want.

I tried:

names = myText1;
loadVariablesNum ("my_text.txt", 0);

But that's not working. I've tried playing around with it in various ways, like
names = eval(myText1);

and such, but nothing is effectively getting it to change. I've been trying to look it up and tried all the different ways people told other people to use, but it's not working for me.

Once I get this work I everything should fall into place easily.

I am looking for a simple solution to my problem. I have 3 flv videos I would like to display after each other. That is fine, however, My problem is that I want to change the flv files (thus changing the video too). My problem is that since the videos are different, the time between one another may vary. I would like to know how to instruct Flash to skip to the next video once the previous one has stopped.

Actionscript 3 :: TextArea Text Formatting Not Changing In Flash CS5?

Jan 8, 2011

I am studying Flash and want to make a video player with where you can change video and the corresponding subtitles with a click on either "forward" or "back" button.

So far I have created 2 arrays of video files ("[videos]") and text strings ("[captions]"). By clicking on one of the buttons, the video in the FLVPlayback component changes as well as the the subtitles-text in the TextArea.

However I have a problem with text formatting.

I use the following functions for button click:

function playNextVideo():void
{
if (currentVideo < videos.length-1)

[Code]....

My problem is that the format changes only when I click the button, but it is not applied for the first subtitle.

So, for the first video I get a plain text, with black color, not italic and not with size "18". However, if I click on "forward" button (and thus execute the playCurrentVideo() again), the format will change. If I then will try to go back to the first video, the text will now be formatted.

So my question is - what causes this condition and how to handle it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text In Dynamically Created Text Fields By Timer?

Jun 14, 2009

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 ();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting - Then Changing And Setting - Text Color On A Text Object

Jul 15, 2009

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Edit Text Files With Flash?

I need to make it so that my client can edit some text files that are displayed in a frilly little font with shades and all that "mainflashpage.swf" accesses to display it. I heard you can do a lot of things like this with php. I know NOTHING about php. So is there any way that I can use flash to edit a text file? I remember about using void at the end of declaring a function if your not returning data.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text Of A Text Field Within A Sprite?

Oct 21, 2009

Is it possible to change the text property of a text field that is contained within a sprite? I've been trying but can't come up with the right syntax. Here is what I'm doing:
 
I've created a sprite named "lessonSprite" and added a text field to it in one function. Now, in another function, I'd like to change the text in the field.
 
I've tried to use this:
 
lessonSprite.titleField.text = xmlLsnContent.attribute("title");
 
where "titleField" is the name of the field added to the sprite "lessonSprite" in an earlier function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Disappears When Changing TextFormat Or Text?

Apr 24, 2009

I have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.

the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:

Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"

then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.

I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Save Data To Text Files (Flash & Amp)

Dec 7, 2008

I'm working in AS3 using Flash CS3 in the Mac OSX Leopard environment and would like to save data, to be later retrieved, in text files (probably xml). The data will be the result of the user interaction with the swf and the ideal location will be the directory (local or website) in which the swf file is located.

I know I could achieve the same effect using a database backend but want to make the swf file more portable, and don't really want to dedicate a database to this function. I've read a bundle of website comments on this but none seem to tidily do what I want, and I am not a whole lot wiser on the subject. The data will be user details and variables (e.g. scores) to carryover to when the user next accesses the game. What are my options (FileReference.save, SharedObjects, URLLoader, other )

So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.

Flash :: Batch Generating SWF Files With Slightly Different Text

Feb 23, 2012

We need to generate around 8,000 nearly identical SWF files with slightly different text. I know about flashvars, but unfortunately, we don't have control over the publishing of these files and can't have flashvars passed in. Ideally what I'm looking for is that we have a flash designer come up with a nice looking template for us with a placeholder text or element in the file. We can then call a command line utility many times to generate 8,000 copies of this with slightly modified text. I've searched for an entire day now and haven't found anything to help us out. Granted, I'm not a flash developer, but it seems like this would be pretty straight-forward.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Saving Multiple Text Files?

I am currently developing a form that saves all text fields, and creates a text file for each field. Some fields require a lot of information, so I figured (I think its called) URL Encoding wouldn't be useful. I can save one text field, to one text file good. The issue I'm running into, is how to save multiple text fields on the same frame, to multiple text files.Currently this is the code I have now:

Code:
sInfoSave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sInfoSaveF);
MovieClip(this.root).i=2;/*load counter*/

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text In Dynamic Text Box

Sep 6, 2011

I'm trying to put a text in a dynamic text box. The text element, however, is placed dynamically:

var topText:myDynamicText = new myDynamicText();
topText.name = "NameTextTop";
topText.text = String("Text 1");
addChild(topText);
topText.text = String("Text 2");

Placing the text element isn't the problem, but I cannot seem to change the text in the element. As you can see, I tried placing the text before and after putting the text element on the stage. Both didn't work. The text element is creating from scratch by adding text with the Text Tool. It's single line dynamic text, Arial regular and the text characters have been embedded. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem, because I'm completely stuck.
