ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Using LoadMovie

Jan 29, 2010

I've a problem working on a project involving multiple language changes using the loadMovie function. Here's the setup: The project involves several pages, all of which are separate swfs. These are located on an existing website, so everything's already created (I'm just updating). On the pages are Static text fields. My task is to incorporate language buttons that when clicked, change the language. For example, the language buttons are English, German, Italian, French, Spanish. If I clicked the Italian button, all text fields change to Italian - and remain so until I click another button. The default language is English.

I changed the Static text fields to Dynamic text fields, gave each an instance name, and placed variables for each instance in a separate language swf (example: langEnglish.swf, langGerman.swf, langItalian.swf). The default language file - langEnglish.swf - is loaded in the first frame using the loadMovie function. When a language button is clicked, it loads a new language swf (they load into an empty movieclip, btw). Clicking the button also updates a variable called "language", so as to remember the current language. The ActionScript for the various variables in the language swfs looks like this:

ActionScript 1/2 :: Dynamic Text Not Seeing - Loadmovie

Sep 3, 2009

I have two swfs. swf-1 is the user display. it calls loadmovie swf-2 - loadMovie([URL]); swf-2 has webservice that returns data to be displayed in swf-1 Everything works fine if I have swf-1 and swf-2 on the same [URL]. If swf-1 is on [URL] and swf-2 is on [URL] the dynamic text is not being displayed in swf1. I have the fonts embeded in the dynamic text field. The mc's that hold the dynamic text are being created (have a graphic that is visible), just not seeing the text.

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadMovie With Dynamic Text In Parent Movie

May 16, 2003

(I previously posted this thread in Flash MX Forum but I think it should be here instead. Sorry) Funny behaviour...I'm trying to load an external MC containing dynamic text (MC-Clip.swf) to a MC empty holder (MCimport) within my main/parent movie. This piece of AS is attached to a button (to call the dyn. txt clip):

on (release){
_root.loadMovie ("MC-Clip.swf", "MCimport");
}

With this, the dynamic text gets loaded indeed... but Fullscreen into the parent movie, and not into MCimport (where it should be). Now... I don't understand why, but the thing is that if MC-Clip.swf contains just static text (and change accordingly the text properties to static text in the holder MC), it gets loaded in the right place (MCimport) within the main/parent movie. (?!??!) And this is the piece of AS attached to the button (to call the MC containing the static txt):

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadMovie Not Waiting For Dynamic Content?

Jul 30, 2009

I am creating a site where it is loading dynamic images and text within the SWF. Currently for images I am using the loadMovie command. This works typically when I do not have images of significant size, however I am having trouble getting the movie to check up if a larger image needs to be loaded. Here is my current code below, it does not seem to be checking to see if the clip is loaded and simply ignores it if the timeline reaches the actionscript before the image is loaded. _root.generalVars.homeImg is a variable that I define outside of flash

//creating empty placeholder
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester",1)

ActionScript 1/2 :: Changing Text In Swf Using LoadMovie?

May 6, 2009

I am loading a swf file that is in the same location as the swf loading it.  The loaded file is a movie clip with a dynamic text box

feedbackHolder_mc._x = 10feedbackHolder_mc._y = 10
feedbackHolder_mc.loadMovie("feedbackHolder.swf");feedback = "hello";feedbackHolder_mc.feedbackbox_mc.feedback_txt.htmlText = feedback
 
The text wont populate to Hello.  But if I put this on a button click to change the text it works.  Not sure what the issue is.I have even tried creating an empty clip into which to load the swf into despite the feedbackHolder_mc being empty.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading New Dynamic Text From A Dynamic Text Box

Jan 28, 2004

I'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Box / Xml Content - Text Is Too Close To Border Of Text Box?

Nov 28, 2006

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:

with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

AS3 :: Setting A Dynamic Position For A Text Field Relative To Another Dynamic Text Field

Dec 8, 2010

I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.

Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.

//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

ActionScript 3.0 :: Send Data From Dynamic Text Field On Stage To Dynamic Textfield In Mc?

Sep 28, 2010

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.

-input1 is for quantity

-input2 is for page count

When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text In Button Nested In Dynamic Movie Clip?

Jan 23, 2010

I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:

There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".

Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text

Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:

Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{

how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields?

Jun 7, 2006

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:

Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).
