ActionScript 2.0 :: Displaying Data From External File By Pressing Button
Jan 10, 2005
I'm loading text from an external file (a notepad). Now all I want is to be able to change the text by loading text from another external file when a certain button is pressed. Basically, I got this as my default text which loads automatically at the start:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
title.text = this.title;
info.text = this.info;
body.text = this.body;
};
But now I want to load text from a different file (data2.txt) by the press of a button. I also have a transition animation so work with me. It would be...
b3.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "photos.swf") {
//I also got this pic (swf) that changes on the button release//
_root.section = "photos.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
So what exactly do I add to be able to change the text source?

Actually my requirement is my application consists a button(submit_Btn) when we click on the button(submit_Btn), each time it must to database(through servlet) and brings the data from database and places it on the flash swf file.Here my problem is for the first time when we click on the button it goes to database and place the data(which was returned from database) on the swf file.Next when we click on the button for the second time(or anytime) it is not going and bringing the new data from database(if some data is modified in database or not),Infact it is showing the old data(the data that was collected from previous ClickListener) only on the swf file and it is also not showing any complile time or run time error.
my Code looks like this:
submit_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onCheck2);
function onCheck2(evnt:MouseEvent):void {
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xmlurl:String =

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

I have two buttons when the user selects both buttons I want to display a movie clip. Basically I created a mouse down event to set a variable name for each button. I also created an on enter frame event that is listening when those two variables are true. When they are true I display a movieclip. how can you press two buttons at the same time and the answer is this is for an air app for ios. So the user can have one finger on one button and another finger on another button when both buttons are selected display something.
I had something along these lines:
Code:
private var _isWinActive:Boolean = false;
private var _item1IsSelected:Boolean = false;
private var _item2IsSelected:Boolean = false;

On to the problem: I have a very simple flash, basically just a photo slideshow. The issue I'm having is this: I have a bunch of photos on the timeline, but I have a button on top of everything, just to give viewers the option to skip that particular scene. The button works, but only when the video timeline has reached the very end of the scene. It won't work before the end of the scene. The button actionscript is the most basic of basic:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(scene1)
}

I'm making a Century club timer, it is to execute on pressing the start button, and then run until finished (our paused, but thats not implemented yet). To keep the timer accurate I had to use the Date() function.The timer() function is used to update the displayed time. I tried using a while-loop for this, but then the whole thing would just freeze. :S So instead a use a infinite timer that ends when currentTime == targetTime.

I have a map that I made in flash, complete with up, down, left, right panning, and zoom in and zoom out functions that work by pressing buttons. Is there a script I can slap on the top of these that can make it so when I press and hold down, it continues the action until I release the button?

I would like to be able to go from an html page by pressing an enter link then go to a 'preLoader' page which would then automatically load the mainPage. Originally my preLoader was the 'index' page for the site and had a button that would start the loading process to the main site which was entirely a Flash site. But I decided to add an html page chock-a-block with searchable text so people looking for the services this site offered could actually find it and make that the 'index' page. Anyway, I would like the preLoader page to start loading the next page automatically with no user events like mouse or keyboard events needed.

This is a script I have to make a menu appear when you press the "p" button:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(80)) {
justPressed = true;
} if (Key.isDown(80) and justPressed == true and _root.openmenu == 0) {
[Code] .....
The problem is that the actionscript wont repeat. I can open the menu once, and can close it once too, but after I close it (move it to x and y values of 1000), it can't be reopened.

I have recently started a new project, again and hit a stump. Im trying to make a mini game where you have to press two alternating buttons (x and z) to increment the bar. Now i started it, but it failed as pressing any button really fast incremented the bar. i used a _root.onEnterFrame = function() { code, but im having troubles. So what i want to do is have the user press the x button, and then have to press the y button and the bar increases and they have to do this rapidly.

how to embed a value into a dynamically created MovieClip within an external file (.as) that I can access in my .fla file when the MovieClip is clicked.
I have created an external file (.as) that draws a series of adjacent boxes with a number in sequence on top of them. That much works OK, but I want to load it into a Flash file that will do math calculations based on the number of the box.
Here's my .as file.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]....
How, for example, can I get the "slide_number.text" box to say something like "The square of this number is ..." and the square of the figure?
