ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Create Some Sort Of Typewriter Which Loads Its Content From An External File?

Oct 31, 2011

I wanna create some sort of actionscripted typewriter which loads its content from an external file, but i can't seem to get the code to work properly!

This is what i got till now:

2 layers:
- one with a textfield called 'textbox'
- one with the actions

A textfile which contains: waarde=Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!

4 frames, in the first frame i load the textfile this way:

[AS]q = 1;
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt",this);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {

[code]...

The problem is that when i assign the value of "text" in the first frame this way : <-- text = "Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!"; --> (witout the comment tags ofcourse) the typewriter works fine but when i load the var from the textfile nothing happens, the trace works fine and displays the contents of the var but the typewriter displays nothing.

the weird this is that when i add this after all the code in frame 1 it works fine: text = "azerty";
But when i add this it doesn't: text = "a";

So when i overwrite the var with the azerty value suddenly it contains the correct value in the next frame, when i assign only one character to it the script doesn't work anymore.

My problem is that when the site loads the 1st time and click from the menu to go to the 2nd frame (1st content page) then i have to wait at about 3-4 seconds to load my html content. The same for the 3rd frame. If these two content pages load for the 1st time, then the pages open immediately. What can i do for this? Is there a way to open this content pages more quickly, or place a loader, and with what code?

Dec 11, 2006

I'm trying to make an empty movieclip (content) that loads an external swf move above some other movieclips after is is fully loaded, and another movieclip (stage_mc) hits frame 25. It needs to load behind and the stage_mc, then move above it when stage_mc hits frame25. I tried this code on the main timeline, and the main timeline is one frame.

ActionScript 2.0 :: External XML Loads But Content Variable Remains Undefined?

Sep 5, 2005

what i have got is an external XML file that loads the news data into flash where it is there parsed and assigned to a dynamic text box and styled with a style sheet. Through trace() if found the xml gets loaded properly but when i upload it to a webserver it does not always load. Many times the variable just reads out undefined. If i refresh it a few times it will eventually load. This is not acceptable of course. It needs to try until it loads. I thought i had the code to make this happen but Im afraid im mistaken.here is the code, its inside the first frame of a simple swf with only the dynamic text box.

Code:
stop();
trace("1");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader That Loads An External .swf File?

Sep 3, 2010

I have a preloader that loads an external .swf file. Preloader works fine, technically the external .swf loads fine, but the external .swf is scaled up so you can only see about 2/3 of the screen. I made the stage for the preloader the same size as the stage for the external swf. I used the HTML for the swf that gets loaded, and just changed the file name to that of my loader.

ActionScript 3.0 :: External Swf File Loads In Scrunched?

Sep 21, 2009

I have the movie loader working, but the movies the do not show the correct proportions. The individual swfs are the correct size but the movie loader in the main index displays them scrunched in vertically. I'm told you have to tell the movie to the correct proportions after it is loaded.If you look at the attached photos, you will see that the info displayed will not span across th entire vertical space How do I fix this/code it correctly?

Here is my code thus far:

var Xpos:Number = 0;

var swf:MovieClip;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loads Data From An External XML File?

I have a simple swf file which loads data from an external XML file.At present, the user types the filename of the XML file they wish to load.Is it possible for Flash to 'read' the filenames of all of the available XML files in the folder and then present these filenames in a drop down list for example? Then, instead of typing filenames, the user would just click on the XML file they wanted to load.

ActionScript 2.0 :: ISWF Loads External Images From An XML File

Jan 31, 2012

My SWF loads external images from an XML file. The problem is the layout shakes up and down as each image is being loaded into the grid because the images are bigger in size than the thumbnail "holder" they are being placed in. They are bigger so when you click on a thumb and the layout zooms in, the images won't be pixelated.I added all the images to the library of the fla file and exported in frame 1 but it didn't solve the shaking. Preloader worked, but images were still loaded in and then shrunk down to size.

Flash :: Loads External Images And Text Using An Xml File?

Nov 3, 2009

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].....

ActionScript 2.0 :: Completely Unload External .swf That Loads An Xml File?

Feb 6, 2010

I have three AS2 swf files main.swf - very simple swf file with three buttons (home,btn1, btn2)

1.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn1

2.swf - an swf file that is launched by the pressing of btn2

Home button simply removes the loaded swf and shows btn1 and btn2.

If I launch main.swf and click btn1, then 1.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn2.. 1.swf still loads! When I close main.swf and reopen, click btn2, then 2.swf loads fine. I click home and click btn1.. 2.swf still loads! WTSDLFKJ@##@$

This is why I ask how to completely unload the swfs? I've tried every different way to unload Google could show me.. unload, unloadandstop, etc. I've tried loading 1/2.swf as a movieclip and URLRequest. I've tried using two separate containers and loaders. Still the same thing.. the first opened swf is the only one that will open unless I close main.swf, reopen and then click the OTHER button.

I should note that 1/2.swf are flip book style applications that load external .xml data.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button The External Swf File Default Loads At 0,0?

Jan 3, 2007

I have added this code to a button in my flash file. When the viewer presses the button a external .swf file will load. The problem is how do I specify where it loads. For example, when the viewer hits the button the external swf file default loads at 0,0. If I want it to load somewhere else on the page is there a way to make it load at a certain specified location? Here is the code I am using on the button.

Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}

Now this works fine and the swf file is loaded correctly but it is always at the top left corner. How can I go about loading it in a specific place on the flash file? Is there a way to create a holder that would make it load in that certain area?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash File Reading An External Text File For The Content?

May 16, 2005

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??
