I'm trying to apply CSS to text that is loaded from an external text file. Now, it works fine when I play it in the movie file "current.swf". Here is the code as it is-
Code:
var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = "jbcss.css";
format.load(path);
format.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

when I press a button, the text loads into the still visible imageArea_mc text area.When a button is clicked, I have external swfs which contain 2 dynamic text boxes, named heading_txt and content_txt, loading into my main movie. They are receiving their data dynamically from an XML file. The problem I am having is that as soon as the button is clicked, the new data loads into the still visible text boxes. What I want to do (I think) is somehow tell the main movie to assign the appropriate text for each individual movie.
ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
myXML.onLoad=function(ok){

Has anyone tried loading a pop-up window through externally loaded text files? As in, is it possible?
View 2 RepliesThis 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;

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?

i have a dynamic text field in an externally loaded swf. Its a digital clock so i want the numbers to update in the dynamic text field.this is not my exact code but it is very similar. i show below that i add the loader.swf, and once its loading is complete, i can work on its movieclips and add event listeners to its buttons, etc. but i cannot change the dynamic text field (its "classic text" set to "dynamic text"). after running this, the text just stays empty as it is in the external swf).here is the sample code:-
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("loader.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);

I have a swf with dynamic text field that loads external text. One frame only. i am trying to monitor loading progress of external txt file but i can not. Preloader just does not show anything but when it is fully loaded it just displays 100%. I usually do not have any problems with preloading swf. Here is my code and if you can tell me what is wrong that would be great. t googled for solution but i mosty found general preloading problems (not for external text)
ActionScript Code:
var textName:String = "test.txt";
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( textName);

I am using Flash CS3. I have a dynamic text box that scrolls text loaded from an external txt file (made in Notepad).
I was wondering if there is a way that I could better control the style (color, font size, bold, paragraph breaks, etc) of the text?? I know that in flash I can specify the font type, size and alignment. But I want to also make some parts of the text BOLD and DIFFERENT COLORS. Perhaps I can use html tags within Notepad to do this?? If so, HOW??...beacuse I have tryed and it didn't work....the tags just showed up in the flash file along with the text, it didn't read them as html (and yes, I set my dynamic text box to render html).[code]...
I'm creating a Flash portfolio, and all work I have done are displayed as thumbnails which are externally loaded images. On rollover, I want to display the works title. How would I place this text OVER image? At the moment, the loaded image is on top of everything, even text I attach on rollover.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a site using only flash. So far I'm using preloaders for all of my external content.I need a preloader for text (externally loaded from an XML). The text is formated as HTML and it will have lots of pictures. I'm worried that if I leave it without a preloader, the pictures won't appear.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to format externally loaded text into a Flash file, I realise I can use CSS but both the heading and body text use different obscure fonts, anyone know how to do this so the external text can be in one file? Or do I need to load heading and body text separately? And format the actual Text Fields in Flash by embedding the fonts?
View 3 RepliesI want my externally loaded flv-movie to unload itself when it is done playing. I read something about cue-Points but didn't find anything useful.
View 3 RepliesWhat's the proper way of loading an flv movie externally? I was doing a project in class which utilized tweenlite and loading of a couple videos externally in a folder. The swf worked fine and even the html looked fine, but once it was loaded into the schools server, the site didn't show. The professor is not really fond of actionscript, but she does have a grasp on HTML related issues. She told me it may have been a problem with the video loading file. This is the script I used to load the file in:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = {};

I have an external swf file 'testSWF'loaded into a UILoader 'myLoader2'. The external swf has a textfield 'myText'. I want to retrieve the text from this external swf textfield into another textfield 'parentTextField' in my parent flash file. I can't work out how to do it, and I can't find a simple example.

I have a dynamic text field within my site that I want to load in text from an external .txt file. I also want to add a scrollbar to this field so that you can have more text than can fit in the textbox at anyone time. I have found this AS3 code to load the external text (from my 'vacancies.txt' file) in to my text box (vacanciesbox_txt):
Code:
var my_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("vacancies.txt");
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
my_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadText);
my_loader.load(my_req);
function loadText(event:Event):void{
vacanciesbox_txt.text = my_loader.data;
}
This all works fine and the text is loaded in as I want - The problem I have is that when I add a UIscrollbar to the dynamic text field from the flash components, it doesn't display and/or work when published.
I have a player which I have created with play/pause, rewind,forward buttons, and a progress bar on it. How can I link these buttons to carry out actions on an externally loaded movie?I have searched on the forum and can only find answers for buttons for embedded movies.
View 4 RepliesI'm building a flash player that loads various movie clips in succession depending on user input. The player should continue to play seamlessly when one clip ends and another starts playing, however there is always a slight noticeable delay between the COMPLETE event for one clip and the actual playing of the next clip. I am using the FLVPlayback component to load the video clips, with successive clips loaded in different players in the component.
I've tried playing the next video a short duration before the current video finishes by adding a cue point just before the end of the currently running clip (about 200 - 300 ms before the end). This improves matters somewhat, but it is not a reliable method as the timings are different for different browsers and computer specs. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with smooth transitions between external video clips and could suggest possible optimizations I could use to improve the transitions.
Im have 5 swf files that I want to play one after another on my home page.
I would like to have the first movie load and play and while that is going on have the others downloading in the background so they are ready to start when the first movie finishes.
After the 5th and last movie has played I would like it then to return to the first movie and just loop this process continually.
I have attached what I have at the moment which is a file called demand.fla that uses buttons to load in demand001, demand002, deamd003 etc.
Ideally i would like demand to load in each slide automatically and then have flashmove onto the next one after 5 seconds or so.

I need a text box to change height according to an externally loaded number.
ActionScript Code:
homeText = new LoadVars();
homeText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

This should set _root.contentMain.home_txt (the text box) to 400 height right?
Why is it not changing the height to 400?
trace (nmbr); does show 400
So, I have some HTML text loaded from a text file into a dynamic text field and I'm using an embedded font to display that text.
What I would like is to get that embedded font to show the italic tagg or underline, etc... the manual say they are supported and they do work when I don't embed a font but use a standard "arial" or whatever... When I use the embedded font, the HTML tags don't work anymore, besides the one to make links... I can understand why the italic or bold don't work since I did not embed those ones and I don't see how I could assign 3 fonts to the same text field anyway... But I thought the color or underligned would work... Anyway, when I embed the fonts, I get all kind of strange buggy behaviors (like, sometimes the text doesn't wrap inside the text field box even though it's specified in the actionscript style defnition, but sometimes it does...)Is there a way to embed fonts, not within flash, but within the HTML text itself? I mean, is there a technology that allows HTML document to display fonts that are on the server's computer instead of the computer viewing the page? So I could bypass Flash embedding the font for the HTML alltogether.
I have made a movie that load text from an external text file and styles it using an external CSS sheet. Everything is running properly except that the links sometimes "jump" when I move my mouse over them.
