ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically-XML-Loaded Text With Buttons Not Loading?
Mar 24, 2010
This question relates to the gallery that I'm working on; basically, I am now trying to add text comments which change according to which button you press to the images. I know how to make this work by applying actionscript to each individual button, but I would like to put all of the actionscript on one layer, meaning that I would have to use the 'button.onRelease = function ()' operation instead of the 'on (release) { function" operation.The code is a variation of Kirupa's code for the tutorial on loading information from an XML, and the xml is his completely. Here it is so far:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
[code].....

[AS]
picNamesA = ["pic1","pic2","pic3","pic4","pic5","pic6"];
picNamesB = ["pic7","pic8","pic9","pic10","pic11","pic12"];
[code]....
Ok First problem the pics load but the second FOR loop the buttons don't position themselves correctly. Second problem was in the getURL() It doesnt seem to read the variable picNamesA[i], I did a trace as you can see and it outputs "undefined".

I'm currently having a little trouble in a project where I have the following occuring:
Code:
preloader.swf --- loads 2x --- homepage.swf --- can load --- products.swf
When the products.swf is loaded, the starting animation occurs as expected and is displayed on the screen without an issue. However, I can't interact with any of the buttons contained in the products.swf. The products page works like an overlay over the top, and the homepage.swf contains an background which can be clicked on to close the overlay. If you click on the products.swf it reacts as if the background was clicked, which it shouldnt as the products.swf is located on top of the background.
I have already checked the obvious parts, and am ensuring that products.swf is located at numChildren-1, so nothing is getting in the way. The catch is that everything was working fine when the code was internal to the fla, and now as soon as I moved the code to an external .as file nothing works. I am using the same way of loading the products.swf as I am loading the homepage.swf, which looks like:
Code:
var productsLoader:Loader = new Loader();
productsLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onProductsCompleteHandler);
productsLoader.load(new URLRequest("products.swf"));
onProductsCompleteHandler:

what it has to do is to generate "j" buttons (j being the number of registrations from my database) and arrange them in rows of 5 or 6. unfortunately the buttons are generated but are not arranged properly. i have 9 registrations in the database so there are 9 buttons... the first 8 are next to each other and the last one is somewhere to the right.further on, at the release of a button it should create the lwLogo movieclip and load there a certain pic (the path being taken from my database). then the lwLogo mc should be centered on the screen... as this doesn't happen in the _root the center of the screen would be -442 in this movie clip so normally to center the image i should place lwLogo at -442-(lwLogo._width/2) but this doesn't work. the photos are loaded but not in the center.[code]

- Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 internal training project- Main movie is a single frame project, containing just the interface. This includes a menu listing 80+ individual "chapters" for the training series.- Each "chapter" is its own project/swf. Once the main interface loads, it should begin to play the chapters sequentially without the user selecting anything from the menu. When one chapter finishes, the next should load. If the user DOES select a chapter in the menu, it should load that SWF, and continue auto-playing from that selection forward.- Each chapter has a built-in play/rewind/ff bar, various movie clips with animations, dialogue audio track and a fairly lengthy embedded FLV movie, and therefore a preloader before each chapter is mandatory.What I have so far works, but it's embarrassingly crafted:- First frame of main movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code (most of this code was taken from an online tutorial):
var slideName = "modules/intro.swf";
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

I'm working on a portfolio site that I'm pretty much done with, but I'm having trouble with the loading order of the thumbnails on the site. The work in the portfolio is grouped into clients, and within each client, there are thumbnails that display the selected work. This will probably make more sense if you can see what I'm talking about: [URL]. (Only the first two clients are enabled at the moment). Specifically, when the page is first loaded (from a web server) the thumbnails show up in the wrong order. When the page is refreshed, the thumbnails are displayed in the correct order.
The thumbnails always display in the correct order when being viewed locally, or in the Flash Test Movie environment. I'm pulling in the data from an xml file into an array, and iterating through the elements of the array with a for...next loop, I'm loading the thumbnail images with a MovieClipLoader instance. Using the onLoadInit event, I then set the horizontal position of each thumbnail clip. As much as I'm looking for reasons why the order could be switching. I suspect it has to do with which thumbnail image finishes loading first - in which case, how to force the images to load in the correct order. Maybe I should use if...then and load the next thumbnail only when onLoadComplete fires?

I have run into a very strange problem with Flash and Flex. It appears that under certain circumstances, movie clips from a SWF loaded at runtime (using Loader) cannot be instantiated if another SWF has been loaded in the mean time. Here is the complete code for a program that reproduces the error. It is compiled using mxmlc, via Ensemble Tofino:

I need help dynamically loading text from a server into a dynamic text box in my movie. If i use the loadVariables it works, with the Html rendering.. if i use it with loadVars it works but now the html doesn't render. What i want is to load some text from my server into the text box and have the html to render. Also, is there a way to display the progress as the text loads, for people with slower connections?

Im currently doing a quiz, which, after the user completes all the questions, displays the users score and depending on that score, a certain message ie
if (score<=2) {
Score_Msg.text =" That was poor!":
} else if (score<=5) {
Score_Msg.text = "You know a bit but not much";
}
In the text, i want to include a hyperlink. Is there anyway of making certain parts of dynamically loaded txt into a hyperlink?

Is it possible to call different data from a same text file? In the tutorial about the dynamically loaded text, the example was "kirupatext=" and the text was loaded from after that in the txt file. Is it possible to make it stop loading after a certain point?
For example,
" kirupatext=
Hello There!
I am an example of text that has been loaded from a separate location on kirupa's server. Best of all, notice that you can scroll the contents of the text up and down by clicking on the arrows. This is a nice, useful feature that you can use on your site."
How can I make it load only up to "Best of all"? Is it possible to break up the text into 2 parts so that they are loaded by different text boxes? i tried adding another marker like "kirupatext2=" at another point, but it just gets loaded along with the first "kirupatext=".

Another problem for me with the dynamic scroller found on the Kirupa site: [URL] I can't figure out how to create URL links in the text. I tried selecting "render text as HTML" and added this to the .txt file: < a h ref=" mylink" > mylinkhere < / a> (without the spaces) but it just showed up 'as it'.

I'm fairly new to action script so this might be me being simple but: I followed the Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text tutorial and added it to my flash movie and although it works perfectly in the tests and once published once it loads in the browser all I get is the word undefined at the top of the text box. I've searched all over for a solution but as I said my understanding of action script is fairly limited.

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.
