I have a dynamic text box with instance name and Var set to page_text. Then I have this code:
[Code]....
Before I get current_page and total_pages. If there are more pages, everything works fine and it shows like "page 1/5", but if I have only one page, it shows "_level0.page_text" instead of "page 1/1". current_page and total_pages trace correctly.
- I have a dynamic text field inside a movieclip called 'newsbar'
- I have a mask called 'masker'
- I masked the movieclip newsbar as followed: newsbar.setMask (masker);
BUT now the text inside the dynamic text field only shows up half!To fill the dynamic text field I used this code: inhoud.text = "this is a text message";inhoud.autoSize = "right";
I have a dynamic text box on the _root level of my movie that loads an external text file. When I test it in Flash (MX2004) locally the text shows up just fine. But when I upload it to the site it doesn't show at all. I'm exporting as Flash 6. I just want to display as html text and not embed font (if possible). Also, there are no masks on the _root level.
Here is the code to load the text:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("/text/about.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

I'm trying to get text to load from my master SWF file (_level0) into an instance on level 5. In the master file all I have is one key frame and this actionscript written into it.
ActionScript Code:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("preloader.swf", 5);
_level5.textField1.text = "testText Field";
In the second swf (preloader.swf) all i have is on keyframe and an instance namedtextField1.Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to load the text "testText Field" into it?
In Flex Mobile Project, Text Input shows blocks instead of showing arabic text. Labels are working fine with Arabic.
Is there any way to show Arabic text inside text input?
My code sample is

[Code]....
Since, it is for flex mobile project, when I input any text in arabic, it shows separate characters. Arabic is a language that doesn't have separate characters. It should combine letters to form specific word.
ok, heres my prob... I got a textbox with a external file with html... this is working fine ! the problem is, that the textbox (with a scroller) shows only the 1/2 of the whole text.. is there a max of characters to put in my .txt file ? is there something to put it longer...
View 8 RepliesI downloaded a XML based website flash template and made some modifications to it. With this template there was few fonts included in separate folder (I had to install them to view swf and edit fla correctly) after all my mods done I published it to swf file and opened local file with browser, everything was working perfectly at this moment. Then I asked my friend if it could upload it on his server to check if this website looks the same on the web. I noticed that text (which is written with custom font that was included) is either missing or misplaced.
I tried to emblem font, by putting it into my fla lib, but it get me nowhere. Maybe I didn't do that correctly.
PS.
I was working with this tut: [URL] I got myself up to the step "Creating a new Font symbol instance using ActionScript". Text in my template is imported from XML file, I don't know where to apply any AS code to make text load with embedded font. However I find this tut for AS3 while my template is AS2 one .
In AS2 I used _level0 to load my swf and and a _level5 to put my main_manu but in AS3 _level do not exist. howcan I do it?

I'm building a small scroll component for a text box, which loads text dynamically from an xml file. I've got it working fine, apart from the fact that if the text isn't long enough to fill the text box, then the scrollbar still shows up - I don't want it too! Is there any tips / hints or even a snippet of code that someone can offer? Basically I need the scroller to only show if the text is bigger / longer than the height of the text box.

I have a swf file that loads other swf files with an XML file, which are populated by external text on the fly.
Everything works perfectly on my computer. And it all worked perfectly on a previous website.
Now, for some reason, when I load these onto my website, the text fields show 'Undefined'.[code]...
I have a problem with a clear interval command that only half works,when i select the the high button the interval clears but when i reset the high button the interval starts again,also the interval does not stop when the low button text shows low.I get the trace action but no clear interval.
Code:
auxcont=function(){
if(high_txt.text=="reset"){
clearInterval(myInterval);[code]....
on low system circulates between pump on and off.on high system is in high mode .
Ok, so i have this problem with text dissapearing if i use one font, it shows in one textbox, but the other ones are odd, they either show 0 or 1, or the first letter only, or nothing at all. What's the problem?In the beggining i tried to ignore the problem by changing the font or the font style, but now, it's becoming to ugly if i use too many different fonts.
View 9 RepliesI want to load a .swf file into _level0, so that I can inherit its frame rate and other properties.
I am doing this with a wrapper .swf (so I can also set some variables on the loaded movie eventually).
However, I cannot seem to get the onLoadStart event to be called. onLoadInit is called fine, but onLoadStart is not. (And, I really need this to happen in onLoadStart so that I can set the variables before ANY of the loaded clip's actionscript is executed.)

Im working on a banner testing application coded in flashdevelop on Adobe Air 1.5, testing sizes, kb, animation time etc. One of the tests ran by the application is clickthroughs via clicktags. Since most of these banners are coded in AS2, I�m injecting the variables via querystring when loading the banners swf files (via a browse/drag drop File reference).
PHP Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("banner300x250.swf?clickTag=hello");
This works fine for _root references to clicktags, but when the banner is looking for the variable in _level0 I just can�t figure out how to write these variables.I've tried to load a bridge AS2 movie and set the variables there, something like AVM2 localConnection --> AVM1 localConnection --> AVM1 banner, wich worked fine on flash IDE testings, reading all _level0 on the AVM1 bridge, but compiled on Air became into a security errors storm and undefined values for _level0.
I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file.When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.

I am brand new to flash and AS3, and everything else code related. I've built a simple file with text and audio. The audio is an external file, and it plays with a mouse click. Everything tests fine in flash. I also placed the file in Dreamweaver and previewed in a browser - that's working. But... I've now uploaded the file to a live site. The text shows up but it doesn't play.

View 5 RepliesI am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.

View 5 RepliesI'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.
