View 1 Repliesi have a dynamic text field where an array controls a dynamic text box where the keypad reps diff numbers ie kpad1, 2 and so on. When I try to use letters it doesnt work, im assuming there has to be a nNumb equivalent for usung letters?
View 3 RepliesI�m trying to combine dynamic text from a PHP file into a Flash movie. The plan is to have a sequence of 4 different strings displayed in the dynamic text boxes delayed by using setInterval (or a better delay mechanism if anyone can suggest one). If I do this:
var txtData = new LoadVars();
txtData.onLoad = function(success){
var Delay = setInterval(txtDelay, 10000);
[code]....
I get �undefined� in the Flash text fields. The variables in the PHP text file are v1 thru v4 and c1 thru c4. If, after LoadVars, the specific variables are identified like this:
Verse.text = txtData.v1
Chapter.text = txtData.c1
The correct text displays. That says the LoadVars is working correctly, right? But for scrolling through the sequence I�ve tried various methods � do/while, for, if � with degrees of failure ranging from massive to total.
I'm making a program that has to write random names to the screen.I'm loading the names from an external .txt-file called nameDataFile.txt The .txt-file contains this:
name1="Mike Hanson"&name2="Josh Turner"&name3="Kim Nielson"
I have made a dynamic textbox with the value _root.shownName This is my script:
loadVariablesNum("nameDataFile.txt", 0);
nameCount = 3;
nameRand = Math.floor(Math.random() * nameCount + 1);
_root.shownName = "_root.name" + nameRand;
I did not have any problems on CS4 but I encountered this error below when I used CS5. Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts. Now that the line of error is cleared. However, I am still having problems with my dynamic text fields which worked with correct values in CS4 but gave the incorrect values in CS5.

I wanted to assign a value to a text box- dynamic :so I create a dynamic text box with instance name : value_text
when I assign the value frameRate to the text box [code]...
I am getting the following error message.
" 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type flash.text:TextField."
I 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.
I'm not a programmer but have been using Flash for awhile. This is my first heavy dive into variables.I'm putting together a Quiz game where I pull the information from a txt file. I can get everything to display and work fine except for the adding of a total score.I have a series of values in a text file and load it into my movie. Depending upon what button I push, I want to take the value and add it to the total score. The next button I push I want it to add that value to the new total score.
View 3 RepliesI am popultating a dynamic text box with values from a database.I need/want the location of the text box to be at a random position on the stage, so I have been using:[code]I see that the htmlText is getting set, and with what looks like good html, and I see that text gets set with the non html part from the htmlText.Is it not possiable to calculate the width of the text when html is set to "true"?
View 6 RepliesI have name my dynamic texts as inp1.text, inp2.text, inp3.text etc...Now my question is.. when applying actionscripts (2.0 is the one I use), how to increment their values?How I can make inp1.text as inp2.text?
on(release){
if (Number(inp1.text)>0){n1=Number(inp1.tex� else{n1=0;}
if (Number(inp2.text)>0){n2=Number(inp2.tex� else{n2=0;}

I have 3 dynamic text boxes on the main movies stage that are getting their values from an externally loaded swf. If statements within the external movie loads the values from an xml file depending on which action is selected by the user. Now I have a fourth text box that needs to gather all the values that are loaded in the other 3 and add them together...placing zero if nothing is loaded. I have done various code tests...I get either NAN or _level0.total ...total is the instance name of one of the boxes, I am trying to access.
View 2 RepliesI can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes. I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.[code]I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array.
View 9 RepliesIt's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text box with html enabled on it. There are hyperlinks in the text that I want the user to be able to click and have that link open in a new window. This is causing pop up blockers to go crazy though, and when the user allows popups it refreshes the window, losing their current location in the flash file.
I have been able to open a new window with some javascript and a geturl(), but this only seems to work with buttons. My textual hyperlinks are not buttons though. I have tried using asfunction in my href and then using geturl inside the function, which doesn't seem to work either. Open a new window without triggering popup blockers from an html enabled dynamic text link.
I have tried a few ways but have failed to get text into a dynamic text field inside the window component. I need to get the following trace command to appear in the window component. I have a workable window component and that is not the issue. I just lack the knowledge of how to link dynamic text in a window that doesn't respond to absolute instance ID scope such as _root.yadayada.[code]

View 1 RepliesI'm taking a stab at learning adobe cs4 flash. How can I combine different text and pictures into 1 picture? For example, Iposted a link of tutorials below:URL...Now say I would like a background to fade in, then the picture of a car, then the text. How would go about this? I already have all the images separated (background, car, and text using photoshop), but I would like the background to slowly fade in, then make the car slowly fade in while coming from the left of the screen, and then the text fades in.

So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields. Note that I have mutliple Movieclips on the stage with the same amount of textfields and I would like to include them in the loop, so I named them mc1 mc2 etc.

I have a function that checks for something when the user clicks a button. if that something is found, an alert comes up saying that it has been found and asks them if they would like to allow this to happen, or undo the action that caused the something to be found. the code looks like this:
Alert.show(thisString1, "Conflict: Multiple Projects", 3, this, conflictAnswer);
upon pressing "Yes" or "No", the conflictAnswer function will be called... it looks like this:
private function conflictAnswer(event:CloseEvent):void[code]....
but it didn't work.
EDIt: After reading the first respond, i've come up with this:
answers[0] = cPositions[i][0];
answers[1] = cPositions[i][1];[code]..........

View 0 Repliesive got some dynamic _x _y values coming from an xml file, and i can trace these out fine. xml_x = 300 xml_y = 240 or whatever. However when I try to send a mc to those values, using either load either or enterFrame the clip doesnt do anything at all. Is this because flash is treating the 300 from <xpos>300</xpos> in my xml file as a string rather than an integer?
