ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic TextField Not Updating With OnLoadComplete
Dec 8, 2009
I am trying to write a preloader for multiple images of unknown size from an external source. Therefore I am counting the clips as they complete and using this as the progress in a dynamic text field.
The dynamic text field loader_mc.loadText.text = Percent;
Loads only once when the 1st clip has loaded even though the trace within the same if bracket traces out the different percentages as each clip loads
Here's the onLoadComplete function...
mclListener_c.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
onEnterFrame = target._visible=false;
//trace("var container = "+container);
//trace("movie clip "+target+" has loaded");
loader_mc._visible = true;
[Code] .....

I have a dynamic textfield on my stage with the instance name trackText.
I have declared public var trackText:TextField;.
When I trace trackText.text it gives me exactly what I expect but the actual text on the stage does not update.
public var trackText:TextField;
trackText.text = audioPlayer.currentSong.title;
trace("trackText = " + trackText.text);
// gives me what i expect "track 1" etc..
but the text on the stage still says "loading..."

The following for loop dynamically creates 4 instances of the same button. Each button is then populated with its own textfield.I have given the textfield(s) an instance name of option0, option1,etc, etc. I want to populate the text in each field with something different (Home, Contact, etc, etc). I am trying to call the textField by its created instance name "option0", but I get an error saying it's not recognized.

I want a few variables to be updated when MyTextField is left. I tried this:
Code:
myTextField.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, update_everything)
function update_everything(e:Event):void{
}
But that didnt work. My function should also work if the text field is left with TAB.

I was looking through the posts on how to update dynamic text fields without using a submit button or other method which would cause the entire scene to be called again.
I found exactly the coding I wanted: [URL]
The issue I found is I can't get it to do what I want, which is to add a series of variables together.
I modified the code to this:
Code:
var total:Number;
var num1:Number;
var num2:Number;
[Code]....
It works, but if I type in say " 4 " into the 'num1' input box the total box (dynamic field) becomes a " 4 ". But when I enter in say a " 5 " into the 'num2' input box the total box becomes " 45 " (no " 9 ").

I've made a website in Flash, it's the 1st time I've made a site with dynamic loading text.The text loads, that is fine, however, when I update the .txt file, the webpage does not update until I delete my internet history. This obviously no use as I can't expect returning visitors to delete their cache every time they visit.

I have some nested movie clips, with a dynamic text object at the end of the chain - if I don't update the the text in the dynamic text field, then it displays fine, however if I set the text at anytime through actionscript, the text disappears. I have tried all sorts of embedding/not embedding font - combinations, but nothing works.Here is a code snippet:
Code:
// this one works just fine...
testing_txt.text = "This is some dynamic text!";[code]....
I am definitely setting the correct field in this long list of objects, but for some reason the text in the main_menu_mc... object isn't updating. Interestingly, the text associated with the testing_txt object updates just fine.Below is a small screen shot of the display while running the swf... menu_item8 is obviously the one without any text...

I've created a flash banner which loads 3 images. Each image is loaded using a Loader object. Each Loader object has an event listener which points to the same function. In this function I compute the loaded/total bytes, then I update a dynamic TextField.
The problem is that the TextField doesn't change its text only when all the images are loaded, which means at 100%. I used a trace for percent and it works fine. From what I've read until now, it seems that this can be caused by a lock-up of the UI?
The function:
Code:
function updatePreloader(e:ProgressEvent):void {
if (LoaderInfo(e.target).loader == imageLoaders[0]) {
loadedBytes1 = e.bytesLoaded;

on my onEnterFrame function, I just want to keep updating a Dynamic Text Box location. It's giving me more trouble than I anticipated, and the solution is probably very easy. I have spent 30 minutes (give or take) on trying to figure it out, but to no avail. This is what I have at onEnterFrame:
ActionScript Code:
_root.HPnum._y += _y - 60;
_root.HPnum._x = _x + 20;
Fairly simple, it's in the as code file that I want it to track. What happens is, it does get moved, but I cannot see it anywhere.

This should be really simple, but for some reason Flash just isn't operating as I expected.I'm trying to make a keypad for a game, whereby the player must type in the correct number sequence to progress. The player will click the number buttons with the mouse and the numbers will be put into an array, which will then be checked with a confirm button.I have set up the array as follows on the main timeline (it needs to be empty until user presses a number button):
ActionScript Code:
keypadnumbers = [];
Each number button then contains a variant of the following code (numbers differ):

I've got this code that creates a dynamic textfield, converts 'score' to a string, displays string, and updates the value of score. Well, I've traced it and the value of score updates, but the value displayed in the text box stays the same. How do I get the value in the textbox to update/change.
Code:
var scoreString:String = String(score);
var scoreNumber:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(scoreNumber);
scoreNumber.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;

I am producing an interesting interactive project. I have 9 sliders from 1-100 that will adjust a total figure. If this total figure adds up to 100, it should stopDrag();
Now this works, however if you move the slider faster than the frame rate, it doesn't stop at 100. I have tried updateAfterEvent(); but not sure of any other options.
Also, I need to be able to drag any sliders back down but not up once it has reached 100.

What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.
Current development: [URL]

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?

I'm loading a bunch of images into my AS2 flash movie, and I've encountered some strangeness.
Roughly, my code looks like this:
function doTheLoading()
{
m_imageClips = [];
[Code].....
why does my array content seem to change when in the onLoadComplete call? If the array is out of scope, then why can I still see the length of the array and determine the type of the contents?

my page contains a Loader to load the different parts of the site as swf but i also have a little intro, witch ist a .flv file. i knwo i can�t load a .flv file in the loader class so i can put it into a swf an load it this way. the thing ist, after the intro is completed my page should get the info to change
1. a var which will change the proberties of the loader
2. the color of the Header/Footer
3. initialize a little x tweening with the body
is there a way to get the onLoadComplete info out of the swf witch contains the flv file or do i have to change the loader to a flvplayback component and afterwards back to a loader
and if i have to do so - how do i implement the flvplayback component into my .as file -i tried it and i always get the message, that he cant find the class.
