ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text And Image Change?
Jan 29, 2011
My friend and I are in competition on who can make the most realistic Pokedex from Pokemon. He is using Javascript/HTML and I'm using Flash and embedding it into an HTML document. He has 36 weeks of work ahead of me (he decided to make 150 individual pages!) and he is nearing completion. I have had 6 days of work done. My problem is I can't figure out how to make it where I can change the the dynamic text and sprite with a CLICK function. Here is the rundown of my project:
All my dynamic fields and sprites (movie clips) are on "Layer 1". Each has an instance name and var of "pokeName", "pokeNumber", etc. I have a movie clip on "Layer 2" which has buttons embedded into it. I have a scroll bar that works (if that matters).
I was wondering if it's possible to have a dynamic text box that can change sizes, without distorting the text displayed in it... I would also like to set it up dynamically.
I have an input text box (txtInput) and a dynamic text box (dynTxt). I want the dynamic text to stay black but highlight a segment of that text in yellow depending on certain characters.
I'm pulling text from an xml file into a dynamic text field and I need to highlight the text one paragraph at a time depending on where the timeline playhead is. I was thinking of doing this by changing the color of the text but I don't know how to do it inside the CDATA tags.At the moment one CDATA populates one text field.Another option is that there would be a movie clip behind the text that would jump to highlight a specific paragraph but then I would need to know how much vertical space each paragraph takes.
I have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.
Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:
this["text_1"].text = "Hello";
The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.
Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.
Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.
I am trying to change the text color in a dynamic text field with xml.[code]but this creates a text field for you, which I dont need it created already have a dynamic text field with the var mybtninfo.What I have right now to get the text to show up in the field is:now only want to change the color of the text in the box thru XML.
Let me explain the setup:There is a dynamic text box called, for example, myText stored inside a movieclip that is called myMovieclip. Now, I simply want to change the text of the dynamic text box within the movieclip. Yes I know:PHP Code:
_root.myMovieclip.myText.text = "Hello!";
The problem that I have however, is that the instance name myText is stored in a variable, lets call it myVariable. So in very simple layout, it looks like this:
I want to be able to click a button and have the *text* in a dynamic text box change alignment (center, left justify, right justify).. similar to any word processor.
I need text to be displayed with some movie clips or smileys with it in dynamic text box. Like the below but when i tried to do this i am getting some thing like this it is registering with left or right only. how to rectify it? I am using html output for attaching the clip with text for output
I'm doing some experiments on images from xml document when clicked it will send a string text into a dynamic text in the stage. My image is now clickable but has a wrong argument in its function this is my code
I am somewhat new to Actionscipt and I need a bit of help. I have created a dynamic text box that is being fed from an xml file. Depending on the data (whether positive or negative), I would like the output text to either be green or red (green for positive, red for negative). I�m sure that has to be a condition statement written and applied to the object, but I do not know how to do.
I am creating an image gallery and the images change but change right back to the original image. I had it working yesterday but today it doesn't work.
I'm making an activity where you drag and drop text (in mc's) into a specific column. There are two columns, the left is for workplace responsibility the right side is for personal responsibility. I've made the actionscript so that I can drop multiple targets into any of the correct spaces they're supposed to go to and I want the text to appear in that particular spot.
At the moment I have dynamic text, and when the text/mc is dropped into the box I have the code (textOne.text=event.target.name) - and so the instance name shows, but since you cant have whitespace in the instance names its not formatted the way I want it.
I have a .fla with a button and a dynamic text/html text field, instance name "hey" I also have a button, which loads an external swf. On the external swf, there is another button with the action of:[code]
I have an empty MC on stage it's named: pictureI have swf file , loadMC made of 2 dynamic text named: m_text and ref_text the loadMC has linkage named: mcDefI load the movie
picture.loadMovie( ~/images/loadMC.swf); then I try to change the text: _root.picture.mcDef.m_text.text = "my new text";
Is there a way to "listen" to dynamic text? I have this dynamic textfield on the stage and I want to call a function once the the dynamic text has been changed. I tried to add event listener but it seems to work only on INPUT text.
Using this code I am filling a dynamic text box with numbers 1-number defined by xml:
Code: var pageNum:String; txt.text = ""; for (var i:int=1; i < myXML.*.length()+1; i++) { pageNum = String(i); txt.appendText(pageNum+" "); }
What I would like to do is be able to change the colour of one number. If the dynamic text box has the numbers 1-5 in it I would, for example, like to change the colour of the number 2. Have it set to blue but the rest to white. How would I do this without changing the colour of the entire text field?
trying to change the text value of a dynamic text in other layer in my flash timeline, i mean, i have a button in my button's layer and when i press the button i need to change the value of a dynamic text on my menu's layer, i have tried these lines of code:
I need to change some dynamic text when the video file encounters certain cue points. So far I've been able to do checks on the name of the cue point and trace text when a cue point is encountered. I've added a text object manually and I've given it the instance name "cuepoint_text". I thought i could then do something like this (pseudocode):
I have a parent file that loads and unloads swfs depending on which page of the website you are on. In the parent swf, I need to update a dynamic text field to indicate which page you are on. My assumption was that I could simply set a string variable within each child that would provide that title, but I'm having no luck accessing a variable contained within a child.
