ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating TextField That Displays Appropriate Number
Sep 17, 2009
I need to make textfields appear that display a number. It's for making score numbers pop up out of enemies. I can create a single textfield that displays the appropriate number but I don't understand how I can set up variables in it. If I've created a textfield, how can I then remove it after a certain amount of time? It doesn't make sense to me since the textfield only seems to exist as an instance and not an object I can refer to.

Trying to make a code that displays a number of products/images. Problem is pretty simple... when I put in a new picture, it ends on top of and covers the last. Do I use an image array to fix this? And how?
Also, if I want to position my array/gallery somewhere else on stage, where/how do I adjust the x y values?
my .fla file:
Code:
var myPicture:Picture = new Picture("bilde1.jpg", 100, 100);
addChild(myPicture);

I have added a menu to my game, and now certain text for the game does not appear unless I quickly double click the text field. Everything non-text works. The Sidebar is an instance of Sidebar movieclip which has two text fields that I added in the flash IDE, both with correct instance names. I have embedded my fonts, and tracing the text of the textField gives the correct number, without any return lines or whitespaces. The "double click shows text" is only for my countdown time.
My other score text field does not display no matter what, not even the text I set in the flash IDE. The only thing I can think of why is maybe flash stops rendering it because I have another menu movieclip that I set the alpha to 0 on stage that might overlay the text fields, however removing the menu movieclip does not fix the problem. Right clicking on the text field, select all, copy, paste gives the correct number.
Here's the fla + as files with only the code for the text fields: [URL]

With the var daylight set to '0' or '1', a couple of mc's ('sky','lights') are told to jump to frame 1 or 5, but it seems that my if-loop doesn't work well. I placed a dynamic textfield in this same mc which displays the var directly from the PHP-script to see if the var is imported correctly and that works fine. I hope I made myself clear

it was possible to control the number of tick marks the Flex DateTimeAxis displays along its axis? Currently, the datetimeaxis controls how many tick marks to display on its axis whenever I change the date range on my chart. Ideally, I would just like there to be only and always 7 tick marks no matter how many datapoints are on the chart. I went into the DateTimeAxis class and noticed that there is a public function called transformCache(), which actually handles rendering the tick marks on the axis but I am not sure what class calls this method.

I have an app in which there are 2 identical units that have a timer that displays elapsed time. I'm using a single file for these units since they are identical. When a user turns one of the units on, its timer is supposed to start and when they turn it off, it should then stop. The problem I'm having is this:
If I go to one unit and turn it on, and, after 2-3 minutes, turn it off, then go to the 2nd unit, instead of displaying 0:00, it displays the 2:00+ that was on the first unit. If I go back to the first unit and turn it back on, instead of starting at the 2:00+ mark, it starts up at 3:00 or later. I'm not very familiar with the way getTimer works, but I had figured that could be set to start whenever I wanted.
If the user then selects a new module, instead of restarting at 0:00, it starts off at around 5:00 or so. It appears to be giving the time from when I started the Flash piece instead of since the beginning of the module like I thought it would. How should I code these timers so that they can start when the user selects a module and so that they can be distinct values?

I can get which part of file in bytes is loaded using videoDisplay component for RTMP protocol for VOD, I can get the current playing position using videoDisplay.playheadTime. But I want to know how many seconds of video are already loaded (not the length of bufferTime, which remains constant). i used videoDisplay.bytesLoaded when using RTMP it returns nothing ,if we uses HTTP it displays number of bytes loaded
The loaded size in bytes is not directly proportional to running time of the video, and while using rtmp im unable to get bytesLoaded too, how i can calculated the Video already loaded.

The counter displays sprites in place of number values. More experienced programmers have given me a clue. Why am I getting error # 1010. Secondly, what am I not seeing that's so obvious? I wish I went in to this with a better foundation in actionscript 3, but I'm reading and doing my best. WHAT I SEE
-dollar sign indicates a variable or array "$numbers"
-import flash.utils.Dictionary; "indicates an associative string"
-Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties
-is the associative string is fooling me? "maybe I set no values, duh"
-are the property of my symbols are set wrong?

Im building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
package classFiles
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I've hit a brick wall here. I have a Flash file that displays fine in IE. It also displays fine when ran as a SWF. However, in FireFox, it does not display my scroller. I developed the Scroller component dynamically... everything is drawn from scratch, no library movieClips, etc. I'm starting to think that could be the cause? I've tried many different things:

I developed the Scroller component dynamically... everything is drawn from scratch, no library movieClips, etc. I'm starting to think that could be the cause? I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.

The stage width is 300px. I have the TextField for Question, wrapped set to true, so that if the Question is long it will continue to second line.Now the problem is i need to show options as radio buttons, say 10px below, where the question ends. But since i don't know the question consisted of two lines or one line, it becomes difficult for me to place the radio buttons programatically.How do i get the number of lines for a text field?
questionField = new TextField();
questionField.text = question;
questionField.width =280;

I'm trying to create a keypad, that when the number buttons are clicked, it will show the corresponding numbers in a textfield.
I'm also trying to get a random 6 digit number to appear in another textbox and when both the random textfield and keypad textfield are compared and found identical, it will go on to another frame.
Now! the problem is two fold:
1) the random number function isnt displaying the random number in the textfield. the text field is dynamic and called guessStringText. Heres the code im using for that..
var guessStringText:Number = getRandom(); //this is in the main fla
public function getRandom():Number { //this function is in an external AS3 file
var high:Number = 000001;
var low:Number = 999999;

These problems are starting to get frustrating lol. I feel as if I'm hitting my head off a brick wall. Every time i find a new way to try writing the code it still doesn't work.

i have a text field with text within it. Im wanting to get the line number of that text element once its clicked. Using an event listener I can get a specific value
PHP Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myTF.getLineText(0));
}
Of course I would have to use either an if statement or an if statement within a for loop, but what would I check it against?

I have a simple dynamic textfield with the variable name total_txt. Why am I getting an error with this code?
Code:
var myNum:Number = 0.00;
total_txt.text = myNum;
I'm assuming it's because the textfield is only wanting to read a string and not a number, but how do I output a number to a dynamic textfield?

I have the below code used to create a random number every 3 seconds and then have the timeline go whatever numbered frame the random number comes to. It works. However when I trace the randNum, I see that it is generating more and more random numbers during the interval. For ex, first it generates one random number every 3 seconds... but then it starts generating more than one per every 3 seconds. how can this be? Isn't the function supposed to run once every 3 seconds?
setInterval(createRandom,3000);
function createRandom() {
minNum = 1;
maxNum = 3;
randNum = Math.ceil (Math.random () * (maxNum - minNum + 1)) + (minNum - 1);
trace (randNum);
_root.gotoAndPlay (randNum);
};

I have done some (like 2 hours worth) research and have come up short, so while I browse the forums for a bit more help Basically what I'm trying to do is create a number of variables, depending on how many items are in an xml document.For example, I am running a for(){} loop to pull all the data I need out, and I would like to store it in the format:photo1.filename = whatever; photo1.value2 = whatever;
and so on. All the object property names (filename, value2 in the example) would be the same (obviously the values would be different), but I need the number of objects (photo1 in the example) to depend on how many nodes are in the xml document.
