I'm loading a external text file to flash and according to the number present in the text file i'm trying to do a IF - ELSE command. It's not working coz the value I load from the external file is string. How can i get this as intiger.
View 2 RepliesHow can I replace text loaded from an external file with text from another external file? Using setInterval and calling the .load from a function or something? In the example below I'm calling an external text file, could this also work with an .xml file with cycling through the children?

I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??
I found this tutorial online to load a external stylesheet to then load some text content in your box. [URL]. I applied it to my site but its not working! My settings are as follows:
stylesheet = saved under styles/flashStyles.css
text = saved under text/aboutus.txt
Dynamic box = named aboutUs_text
Here is my code. The only thing I keep seeing is 'Could not load CSS stylesheet' when I preview my .swf or when I upload it to my server.
function getNewsStyles() {
aboutUs_text.text = "Getting news...";
// load stylesheet first, then get content (separate function)
var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {

I'm loading external font swf's, when using the textFormat class, the fonts come through perfectly and I am able to style them as I need. However I would like in time to move over to an external stylesheet, mainly because I would like to use both methods depending on the type of projects im doing at the time.
When I try to use the stylesheet and call the font that is needed nothing comes through, I have done a trace on the fontClass and get undefined for the fontName, fontStyle and fontType. I am only using a simple example at the moment as below
[Code]...
I know the stylesheet is working because I can manipulate the colour and size when embed fonts is not on the textfield. But im unable to use the desired externally loaded font.
I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I imported two projects in Flex Builder 3 (A and B). Those two projects A and B are in the same folder and in mxml file which is located in A/src I have
<mx:Style source="../../B/b/assets/b.css" />
this relative path is correct, but Flex Builder keeps showing message: "Problem finding external stylesheet: ../../B/b/assets/b.css"
What am I doing wrong? Btw, I am newbie in flex, so,
I was wondering if this can be done? I want to format my content that's in an XML file, being loaded to a dynamic text box using AS3? I've been trying to do this and find any information on the this task. When I put everything together the XML file shows up in the dynamic text box without any styles being applied to it. (As if its ignoring it.)
Code:
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var cssRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("content.css");

I'm trying to use external text file with flash mx. What I want to do is to define a variable in the text file.I want to be able to define the default content of a projector on my site from a text file so I would have a text file with something like "web/client/project.swf" inside and I want to be able to pick it up from within my movie clip using loadMovie(); where the "url" attribute would be my text file content.

I'm working with a flash template that loads external images and text using an xml file. Everything works well the only problem is I've promised a client that as well as a "title" and "description" I will also include a clickable URL link. I can edit the flash to a certain extent but I am having a nightmare of a time including a clickable url. Is there anyone out there who can help? "photo_description", "photo_title" and "photo_url" are the names of the dynamic text fields.
XML snippet looks a little like this...
<title>Title</title>
<description>Description</description>[code].....
How do I wait for an external .txt file to load in ActionScript 3? If I use URLLoader, I have no guarantee that the file has loaded, since it dispatches an event when it's complete. I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.
View 1 RepliesI'm updating a Flash program that has 3 different txt containing code. The FLA has different parts in the program that calls upon these file, but when I try to export to SWF to test the program, I get a compiler error, saying those files can't be found.
All of the files have been transferred from another computer, so I don't know some directory extension is broken, but the script that refers to the text files, doesn't include a directory address, just the name of the respective file it's calling on.
I'm running into a brick wall here. My dictionary.txt file, which is loaded into ActionScript and shoved into an array, cannot be uploaded by the licensing company to license my game. However, I wrote a program to convert the space-delimited text file into an .as file, looking like so:[code]Thing is, now the .as is 3MB in size, and all ActionScript in the game fails to load.So I either need two things:
- Some way to embed the .txt file within the .swf
- Some way to make the .as file load without issues.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a simple textfield(or so i initially thought simple.) that consists of a scroll bar, some dynamically loaded text with a small amount of css styling the hyperlink. There are no initial errors the text loads, the style is applied successfully,scroll bar works BUT the text is no longer organised as all the breaks between the paragraph are gone and the text is squashed together in one block.

I've got a flash project with an empty content clip instance called content_mc. Depending on the button pressed, it attaches a movieclip from the library with the name contentDisplay_mc under content_mc. Now the structure of these subclips are pretty much the same with a textbox called Display. The code on Frame 1 of main timeline:
//tell Flash to display special characters
System.useCodepage=true;
var cssStyles = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var generic_lv = new LoadVars();
[Code]....
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
