ActionScript 2.0 :: Different Fonts In "scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text"?
Aug 30, 2004
Is there any way to alter the fonts and font sizes WITHIN the bulk of text?ie. If I wanted to have a header in one font, and the rest of the text in another.Rif I wanted to add a url hyperlink.I did a site for a friend, and used the dynamically loaded textboxes so he could update it himself by just changing the .txt file.At the moment all the scrolling textboxes are in one font. I would love to be able to change this, and even more, would love for my friend himself to be able to mix different fonts and update it himself

I followed the tutorial for Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text & its works well. The problem I am experiencing I have a limited about of space in my movie for the text box. The text file has all the data that I need to display but for some reason I only see a portion of the information & I can't seem to figure out my mistake.

I'm fairly new to action script so this might be me being simple but: I followed the Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text tutorial and added it to my flash movie and although it works perfectly in the tests and once published once it loads in the browser all I get is the word undefined at the top of the text box. I've searched all over for a solution but as I said my understanding of action script is fairly limited.

I have a text box which dynamically loads the information from a .txt file. I want to scroll the text, with buttons that I have made(not the component scroll bar that comes with Flash MX), up and down through the text I have. I've tried many different scripts, and none seem to work. Is there a good concise walkthrough for this anywhere?

I'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to. An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found on a nice webpage I made, but I cannot post a proper link: www cryhavocguild com/actionscript php. Make sure to include the www as my flash file will only load the data with it (another problem). I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable. As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;

I have combed through the forums and read every font embedding article I could find and still I don't understand what's going on. I have created a simple test case that I have attached to this post. Hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.Here's the situation ...ultimately, my goal is to be able to dynamically create text fields with embedded fonts (I'm using Arial or Arial Unicode) that can display a variety of languages (English and Russian are the primary ones I'm working on right now). In the attached sample, I have added a font to the library and set it to use Arial Unicode.I have 3 text fields on the stage: Field 1 is generated entirely from code using createTextField, Field 2 is a design-time text field that uses the embedded library font, and Field 3 is a design-time text field that uses basic Arial rather than Arial Unicode.For the 2 design-time fields I have embedded the glyphs necessary to display English and Russian as well as some others.I also have a few buttons on the stage to create the 3rd text field (using createtextfield), send english or russian text to all 3 fields, and turn embedding on/off of the generated text field.
Here are the results I've found:With embedding OFF:English shows up fine in all 3 text fields (in the generated one, it uses the system default font instead).Russian shows up in the generated field and in the 3rd field (basic Arial) but NOT in the field that uses the embedded library font.With embedding ON:NOTHING shows up in the generated text field the 2 design time fields function the same as they did before.I REALLY don't understand why the design-time text field doesn't work when it uses the library version of the font. Why should that matter? I also don't get why even ENGLISH doesn't work in the generated field when embedding is on.
//EDIT: I just tried using Arial as the font for the generated text field rather than using the linkage name for the library font and now the embedding works. So I guess my main question is why it doesn't work using the library font....I thought that using the library font .

I have a dynamic text field within my site that I want to load in text from an external .txt file. I also want to add a scrollbar to this field so that you can have more text than can fit in the textbox at anyone time. I have found this AS3 code to load the external text (from my 'vacancies.txt' file) in to my text box (vacanciesbox_txt):
Code:
var my_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("vacancies.txt");
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
my_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadText);
my_loader.load(my_req);
function loadText(event:Event):void{
vacanciesbox_txt.text = my_loader.data;
}
This all works fine and the text is loaded in as I want - The problem I have is that when I add a UIscrollbar to the dynamic text field from the flash components, it doesn't display and/or work when published.

I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

Im currently doing a quiz, which, after the user completes all the questions, displays the users score and depending on that score, a certain message ie
if (score<=2) {
Score_Msg.text =" That was poor!":
} else if (score<=5) {
Score_Msg.text = "You know a bit but not much";
}
In the text, i want to include a hyperlink. Is there anyway of making certain parts of dynamically loaded txt into a hyperlink?

Is it possible to call different data from a same text file? In the tutorial about the dynamically loaded text, the example was "kirupatext=" and the text was loaded from after that in the txt file. Is it possible to make it stop loading after a certain point?
For example,
" kirupatext=
Hello There!
I am an example of text that has been loaded from a separate location on kirupa's server. Best of all, notice that you can scroll the contents of the text up and down by clicking on the arrows. This is a nice, useful feature that you can use on your site."
How can I make it load only up to "Best of all"? Is it possible to break up the text into 2 parts so that they are loaded by different text boxes? i tried adding another marker like "kirupatext2=" at another point, but it just gets loaded along with the first "kirupatext=".

Another problem for me with the dynamic scroller found on the Kirupa site: [URL] I can't figure out how to create URL links in the text. I tried selecting "render text as HTML" and added this to the .txt file: < a h ref=" mylink" > mylinkhere < / a> (without the spaces) but it just showed up 'as it'.

I have a set-up a movie to dynamically load text from a text file. Now I realize that I want to attach live links to some of the urls in the text file. My question is can you attach the links in a text file by putting html tags in there or is it better to turn the text file into an XML file with the tags in there?Also can you attach CSS styles to that text file.. for instance in addition to adding links to the text I would also like to change the color of the text.

create links in a dynamically loaded text box? I have a dynamic text box with this code (Flash MX/1.0):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("news_txt.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.newstext;
};
I followed this tutorial [URL] but I need to be able to make links within this text. I'd like to be able to add other HTML code to the text (bold, underline, etc.) but just being able to make hyperlinks from the .txt file would be great.
