ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Box And Adding Values
Sep 18, 2006
I'm not a programmer but have been using Flash for awhile. This is my first heavy dive into variables.I'm putting together a Quiz game where I pull the information from a txt file. I can get everything to display and work fine except for the adding of a total score.I have a series of values in a text file and load it into my movie. Depending upon what button I push, I want to take the value and add it to the total score. The next button I push I want it to add that value to the new total score.

I have a movie that contains a series of radio button groups, which each have their own accompanying dyn text box. When a certain radio button is selected, a pre-determined value is loaded into each respective groups' text box, via "onRelease".
Now, I can get these values to appear fine in each text box, but I then have a fourth text box (amount_total), into which I want to have the sum of all the previous text box's values.
I have a submit button with the following actions on the first frame of the timeline:
onSubmit = function (){
_root.amount_total = Number(_root.total_surf) + Number(_root.total_music) + Number(_root.total_video);
}
Now, when I hit the submit button NaN is returned.

I have 3 dynamic text boxes on the main movies stage that are getting their values from an externally loaded swf. If statements within the external movie loads the values from an xml file depending on which action is selected by the user. Now I have a fourth text box that needs to gather all the values that are loaded in the other 3 and add them together...placing zero if nothing is loaded. I have done various code tests...I get either NAN or _level0.total ...total is the instance name of one of the boxes, I am trying to access.

I have 7 Dynamic Text Boxes, each with a numeric value.. I need to add them together.
Total = (ST2 + DO + GA + BO + CT + HT + TI);
This makes it 0000000 (Assuming each Dynamic Text had a 0 in it)
Total = (ST2 ++ DO ++ GA ++ BO ++ CT ++ HT ++ TI);
Gives errors. How do I do Simple Addition? It's been so long.

I am trying to calculate the values on user entered text fields (which only accept numbers) along with the values of user selected combo boxes. I have a function to a button:
reviewQ.calcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calcAns);
function calcAns(e:MouseEvent):void
{
reviewQ.calcAns_text.text = "Your calculated result is " +
[Code]....
Right now, all I am getting is the actual values entered in the text fields and selected in the combo boxes. How can I get the sum of this values to show on my "calcAns_text.text"?

I'm having a problem adding numbers that are loaded to dynamic text boxes. I'm using AS 2 (Flash 8). The numbers are loaded to the textboxes from a text file using a loadVars command. The text boxes have instance names of TELEMATICS and BOOK - I have a third textbox called (instance name) RESULT - the text file is called TEST1.txt. My problem is that after trying (and trying) several solutions in tutorials I am unable to add the values in TELEMATICs and BOOK to get a (sum) total in RESULT. My code to load the numbers is as follows:

I did not have any problems on CS4 but I encountered this error below when I used CS5. Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts. Now that the line of error is cleared. However, I am still having problems with my dynamic text fields which worked with correct values in CS4 but gave the incorrect values in CS5.

How to add text to a dynamic text field so that a line of text is created, and you can keep on adding to it. I need it to simply add a number to the text line everytime certain buttons are pushed rather than multiplying it like a score in a game and I think I have gone wrong somewhere.
Here's my example: I have multiple buttons on the stage and each button has a different value applied to it (eg: BTN1 has 1, BTN2 has 2, BTN3 has 3 and so on...)
So (as an example) I was wanting to end up with the following in my dynamic text field "1132" if "BTN 1" was clicked 2x and "BTN 3" was clicked 1x and "BTN 2" was clicked 1x......
which equals...... 1132
I'm trying to use the following actionscript but instead of it adding to my line of dynamic text it adds to it like so... 1+1 = 2
BTN1...
on (release) {
_root.equationcount+=1;
}
I'm now wondering if I should be using "count+" at all? My var for the dynamic text field is "_root.equationcount"

on(release){
if (Number(inp1.text)>0){n1=Number(inp1.tex� else{n1=0;}

I can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes. I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.[code]I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array.

It's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

I have a main menubar.fla file, which has a document class on it linking to a menubar.as. the as3 file is just some simple Papervision3d stuff, and creates a few buttons on the stage from the library. Here you can see the project as it is now I am trying to make it so when your mouse leaves, the the head will tween back to facing forward. But to find the mouse leaveing, I am using the code found HERE In an FLA without a document class, it works fine, but when I add it to my menubar.fla I get the errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
TextField.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.
The first one comes from the text box alone on the stage.I had a similar problem when adding the buttons, that eventually made me link them for actionscript and just create them directly in the AS file, because placing them on the stage threw similar errors. I would do that for this code too, but according to the source site, "This event is only available added to the stage."

I am trying to connect dynamic text to scrollbar and buttons. I did tutorial and Lynda.com and practically pasted the code in with my file names and for some reason it does not work. It says I have a "Access of Undefined Property mask_mc" Did I need to create a variable for this? I didn't in the tutorial.
Right now I have the dynamic text loading successfuly in 2 different places and I wantd to add the scrollbar. I put the variables on frame 1 code and then I put the actually load code on the frame where it is needed.

For some reason, the data that is getting loaded into the text box is adding:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="0"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="20" COLOR="#005A80" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">undefined</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
quite a bit of information. I'm not sure why. You can see it here... For some reason, its only doing it to one of the text boxes..

need a variable, need to add numbers to the variable when conditions are met, need to display the variable.The display part is giving me fits and to put it simply, every tutorial I've looked at is mega lame.1. How do you create a dynamic textbox/field/whatever ENTIRELY out of code. Now I could just click, drag and make one, but then it would be stuck on the screen all the time, no good for startup menu, etc.
2. How do I update the Dynamic text box, now I could use an eventListener ENTER_FRAME, but that seems a tad intensive, their must be a way to only update when new value is passed to it?I've got this code that creates a whole bunch of moving objects in the background, when the level ends I want to remove them all. HOW do I remove this heaping load of objects?
Code:
public function columnMaker(){
for(var i=0; i<550; i+=35){
var testObject:Circler = new Circler();

Adding button with dynamic text fields
I haven't used flash for a while so I'm a bit rusty.
I'm simple trying to add a Button with a dynamic text field and a over state to the button that changes the color of the text.
I want to create a list of nav links and then have an over state on the links.
I have a button in the library with an over state and a text field. The button is exported for Actionscript.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");
}

I'm working on a piece for work. I need to figure out how to add unique dynamic text fields to duplicated movieclips. Unique as in unique instance names and variable names. I have a movieclip on the stage that contains a dynamic text field.
the text field will house text that is being pulled from an xml file.What I need is to have the dynamic text field in all the duplicated movieclips have a unique instance name and variable name.I assume that a nested for loop would be required, but I'm not sure as I am not the greatest actionscripter. Here's what I have so far:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

How can I create a for loop so I can use different values of the same node? So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields. Note that I have mutliple Movieclips on the stage with the same amount of textfields and I would like to include them in the loop, so I named them mc1 mc2 etc.
