I need to count the number of lines that exists in a txt file, from which I load some content. I think I need to escape the content of the txt to be able to read the "/n", to count them and to have them displayed as variable (for example t_linenumber=...?)

View 0 RepliesI made a .fla file that uses an "include" to pull in a bunch of variables from a .as file. I would like to be able to count the number of variables in this file so that I can make the thing more "automatic" so that if someone else in my office adds more variables to the .as file it updates itself. Similar to the way you can count children using an XML file.
View 4 RepliesI have an animation that reads some info from a txt file (such a bkg color, bkg image and text). So I would like to make my main animation in the root to repeate a segment of the animation (beteween 50 and 80 frame) or to loop an MC so many times like the number of lines in this txt file.
For exapmle if I have in my txt 6 lines to go from 50 to 80 frames, that again to 50 and like this 6 times (e.g. to repeat this segment 6 times)

how I extract X number of lines?
I'm loading a few bits of text into a dynamic textbox and I want to know if it's possible to find out the number of lines its taking up. Using the height of the textbox isn't an option as the text varies all the time.

View 3 RepliesThis one is for all the TextField wizards out there. I have a text field that displays 2 paragraphs of texts. The first one I want to be truncated to show only 3 lines of text maximum. The 2nd paragraph is to be appended to that text.
Is there a way I can show only the first 3 lines of the first paragraph? Think of it like an abstract for an article for the first paragraph.
I tried doing it with String.subStr(0, guestimate of 3 lines of chars) but it's pretty inconsistent in that some strings will take up 4 lines of the textfield.
I thought about doing 2 separate textfields but in the case of the first paragraph having only 1 line worth of chars, there will be gap of 2 lines worth of chars between the 2nd paragraph.
I have a textfield that acts as a log in that it routinely gets messages added to it. I want to limit the number of lines the textfield can display - that is, if the textfield exceeds a certain amount of lines, the oldest lines that were added are removed and the rest of the lines of text are shifted up. Basically I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this, as my technique seems inefficient:
Code:
const MAX_LOG_LINES:int = 50;
// assuming parameter message is a string that ends in to add a line break.
function addText(message:String):void
[Code]....
I can't seem to figure out the .numLines property. I've tried calling it on a TextField that was created dynamically. The TextField has multiline set to true and wordWrap also set to true. Any clue why it would consistantly report the number 1? It's being called in a trace statement after the htmlText is set to a string from a xml file.

In the first frame you have to input numbers in three input text fields. And then in next frame when you press "1" "2" and "3" the same numbers appears in three dynamic text fields. I've done all that, but what I cannot figure out is how to make this numbers appear with counting up (e.g. by 50 [0, 50, 100, 150,...]).
I saw already this old thread showthread.php3?t=116768&page=2 (sorry, not allowed to post links) and I tried to manage the code from user "sunlis" to work, but not successfully. And his code is written in ActionScript 1 or 2, I'm not sure, but I need ActionScript 3.0 code.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a simple image viewer using AS3 and getting image URLs from flashVars in the HTML. I want to use an if argument to have it perform one function if there is only one flashVar and another if there are more. I have it reading the flashVars fine and can write if statements all day long, the trouble I am having is counting the number of flashVars being passed from the HTML.
var numberOfVars:Number = 0; // to store the number of flashVars
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters; //get the flashVars
for each (paramObj in LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters){
numberOfVars + 1;

View 3 RepliesI have a text field that i have set to load several lines of text from an XML file.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="uft-8"?>
<imageText>
<text>
<text1>text for image one <br> line 1 <br> line 2 <br> line 3</text1>
</text>
</imageText>
it loads into flash fine but when i try make it a global variable it only takes the "text for image one" because it thinks the <br>'s are tags. flash the turns the above code into:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="uft-8"?><imageText><text><text1>text for image one <br> line 1 <br> line 2 <br> line 3</br></br></br></text1></text></imageText>
i need this tag to be in there to show that its a new line.
I'm trying to build a functionality into a Flash app, which would calculate the number of days that have passed since a defined date.
The idea is that a start date would be defined in the script (in whatever format) and the application would count and return the number of days since that date. According to that number the app would determine the availability of a set of links listed in the style of a calendar. I'm gonna be using a date variable from my servers to determine the current date.
How should I proceed with this? How should the varying number of days in months be handled? What about leap year?
