But, How I do to accede to a specific label of an external swf?? I want that it loads the animation and begin to it turns from the label that I indicate.
I am a little confused with the ASFUNCTION. I understand how to use it to call a function from within the swf, but how can I embed a link in the external text file? Is this even with ASFUNCTION? When I use an <A HREF etc it doesn't work. I have searched all over the forums and can't find the answer to this really simple question. Also, one other thing. Is there a good character map somewhere for UTF-8 encodings? For example, I can't seem to get Trademark and bullet points to work.

I am using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.
I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?
View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.
View 2 RepliesHow would I use ASFunction with dynamic texts? Can someone gimme a example (code not .fla)...How would I display the IP address of a person with flash?Complicated: A person views my signature. It shows the IP Address of a person along with a input box for their name. They type in their name. How would I make it so that, after a name is typed in and a button is pressed, both the name and the IP address are sent to a file? Only I can view the file. Well, the file could be called list.php or list.txt...and then I can CHMOD it so others can't view it...
View 4 RepliesI want the to use the 'edit_pizza' or the 'add_pizza' function whether i am editing or add a new order. So i am checking if "aktOrder" is set (or filled because it is an array) and setting 'clickFunction' the name of the function.Afterwards i put that in the string which will be added to "windowText.htmlText" at the end. By tracing 'clickFunction' i see that it is 'add_pizza' which is right. But in the string it doesn't work.

I'm trying to make a twitter application for an assignment I have for uni. It's going to basically be a word association game of sorts, where a user enters a word to search for, and the latest tweet with that word gets displayed; this is where I'm up to: I want to make it so that the user then clicks on one of the other words in that tweet, and then the application searches for that word. I can't figure out how to get the text to refer back to itself so that it, for example, returns a string that I can pass back into the code and re-search for it.
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text box which loads variables from a PHP file (which in turn loads everything from a mySQL database) and there are links in it. When loaded, the links look like links, but they do not act like links. They are not clickable at all. I don't understand what's wrong because I used the same exact technique on another site (actually the predecessor of what I'm working on) and it worked perfectly. If you'd like to see the site in (beta) action, go here. Here is the code I am using to load up the stuff...

i'm bringing text in from an xml file into a dyn text box. is there anyway to incorporate a hyperlink in that dynamic text? i want to have a paragraph and then have links in it.
the dyn text box text will change depending on user interaction and different links from the xml will appear.
[URL] thats the actionscript i have for a button. It makes the text appear... but, they don't work as links :S the dynamic text box (info) is set to use html, but all it does is display: Links... Click a link to get to the website! <a href="[URL]">.
View 1 RepliesI have created a RSS feed viewer, parsing the RSS feed with actionscript 3.0 and viewed on the stage in dynamic text boxes. The text in these dynamic boxes is scripted to link to web addresses contained in the RSS feeds in the same node as the text being displayed. So far so good. Now I need the text in these boxes to act as if they were HTML links and show an underline and color change when rolled over and clicked on.

I'm building an app where pretty much all the text is pulled in from XML, including the nav. It's linked to a MySQL database which throws XML into the app via PHP...I want the nav to be a dynamic menu made via the number of nodes in the XML file, and it'll end up looking like the 'related videos' menu on you tube. I've got this working by making a movie clip with a text field in it... the app loops through the XML, gets the number of nodes, then dynamically creates the nav via instances of my movie clip with a text field in it...
So say I've got 3 nodes, all of which are going to be nav items... The app then dynamically creates 3 movie clips, positions them onstage, populates the text field inside each movie clip with the name of the link (taken from the XML), and adds an onRelease action to each movieclip. The problem is, because of the nature of the app, the nav could grow to about 50 items over time, so I was gonna make it sit in a box with a scroll bar, like the side menu of related video clips on you tube.
I want to know if I can ditch the movieclips and just use a dynamic text field, and then make use of the scroll bar component so that, when the nav is generated, a scroll bar appears if there are too many items for the nav box to hold. In order to do this I need to know if I can launch action script via a link assigned to some dynamically created text... If not I guess I'll just have to make my own little scroll bar that affects the dynamically created movieclips but I thought I'd ask anyway!
I have a dynamic text box displaying a variable, and I want to add a label of "ft" (without the quotes, obviously). How do I go about doing it?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading html formated text from an external txt file into a masked "createTextField", which was styled using an external CSS file. Everything is fine, except for one strange thing...any links at the beginning of my text file DON'T work...the links towards the bottom of my text file DO work.I have never ran into this problem before.So far, I'm totally stumped.Note: I have "a:hover" and "a:active" properties set via the CSS file.When I rollover the links that aren't working, the anchor rollover properties do change, so there is some recognition going on, but the mouse doesn't change to a hand
View 1 RepliesI understand loading external text into flash through actionscript to produce a quick way to modify text without modifying the flash movie. The problem is being able to create hyperlinks in the external text to navigate within the movie (website). So my question, Is there a way to load external text but with the ability to code links into words or phrases that point to instance names (frames) within the movie (website).
current method
create *.txt file
*.txt loads into .swf file
.swf is called from loader component on main movie.Or is this impossible and the text has to made within the main movie and edited through flash?
I'm currently trying to work out a method to highlight specific areas of text within a dynamic text field at runtime. The method I've been toying with so far has been the use of CSS highlighting, but have not seemed to have any luck thusfar. What I'm attempting to do is to illustrate, to students, sections within a passage of text pertaining to correct methods of source referencing (source in terms of bibilographical references), and so am essentially trying to change the background colour of sections of text specified at runtime.Here's some code I've thrown together to test the CSS theory:
PHP Code:
var highlightstyle = 'span.highlight { background-color:yellow }';var txt = '<p><span class="highlight">highlighted text</span> no highlighted text<span class="highl

i've recently been trying to think of a way to create dynamic color changing txt links.For example, say you have a list of static txt boxes in flash, each one being a link to a website, im trying to make it so that when you rollover a link, the txt would change colour. is it possible to achieve this effect using actionscript? As making each link a movie clip and tweening it would be very tiresome and time consuming.

This is driving me insane, because I actually had it working once and now I can't do it.
I have a .txt file that contains:
Code:
&solutionslink=/solutions/index.hml
In my .fla, attached to my button I have the following:
Code:

getURL(solutionslink);
}
But when I hit the link I get //webserver/undefined instead of //webserver/solutions.html
I've done a trace and I get "/solutions/index.html"
About to pull out my hair...I've loaded an external text document into the dynamic text field fine, but am unable to make any html tags within that document work once it's up on the web. I'm trying to add links within the document.
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("firm_overview.txt");
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.overview;
};
Should i add something to this to enable the html tags to work??
