View 1 RepliesI'm trying to change the font in my menu's dynamic textfields using xml data. I can already change the color but can not figure out how to change the font. Here's what I'm using to change the colors, and this format is what I'm trying to achieve with the fonts also.
[Code]...
[code]_root.sidearea.removeMovieClip();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sidearea", 3);
_root.sidearea.createTextField("scriptinput", 2, 0, 0, 600, 600);
[Code].....
just copy it into the first frame and fix it and copy it back i know its something really simple but for the life of me i cannot figure it out.
I have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
I've made a preloader that shows the percentage that is loaded with a pixel font. It is dynamic, can people without this font on their computer see it? If not, how can I create this preloader so everyone even without that font can see it?
View 2 RepliesI am knocking together a small, 100% code pre-loader for loading in external .swfs. I've done this many times with textfields created in the IDE and simply updated the content of the ide-created textfield in the ProgressEvent handler - works fine. However, when I create the TextField solely in AS, it simply disappears. Here's the relevant bits of code:

I have created a preloader in flash, with help from a tutorial, but it doesn't work properly. The preloader starts with loading on 100%. This is what I'm talking about:[url].......I created a smaller file to demonstrate my problem.
The code that I used is:
stop();
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();[code]..........
I have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.
So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted. how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?
I'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.

how do I store and retrieve rather large multi-lined texts blocks that contain hard returns in a url or embed code?
Hah, yeah, probably a ridiculous request but this is used in a flash/custom BBcode partnership. The idea being that the user posts on the bulletin board and wraps their text in [customtag][/customtag]. It spits that information out as an embed code with the text stored as a variable that calls the flash applet and displays their post in a fancy way. This is for a browser based game so it's basically for admin's to post RP style messages.
I am creating an ebrochure, where in my timeline i have three layers: top bar (for my glossary and help buttons), nav bar (with my prev and next buttons) and the pages of the brochure.
The pages consist of each frame having a movieclip for that page, so frame one has page one movieclip, etc... and are all individual frames.
The top bar layer spans the entire set of page frames (14) as does the nav bar, but I have the glossary and help on frames after the pages end. What I am trying to do is that when someone clicks to go to the glossary from where ever they currently are, the prev button on the nav bar that is over the glossary page can take me back to the last page I was on. So, if on page 4 and click to go to glossary, prev takes me back to page 4. But if i am on page 7, prev takes me back to page 7.
My SWF contains a combobox that functions as expected when it is viewed alone. But when this same SWF is loaded into a 'container' SWF the combobox no longer works.
The container SWF uses AS3, and the SWF that is being loaded into it uses AS2. Could this be the problem?

I've got a SWF that calls up external swfs via XML. Users are able to navigate to each external swf using a next button. When a user views the external swf, I need to mark it as 'viewed'. This way, if the user leaves the site prior to seeing all swfs, they can come back and start where they left off and view only the swfs they haven't seen.
What is the best method for setting this up? Array? Somehow parsing the XML file?
I am currently building an assessment in flash using AS3. I want to have all navigation buttons visible on the main screen, including the "assessment" button where users will go to sit an assessment based on the content they just viewed.
how can I lock the assessment button until all the other pages containing the content has been viewed? A bonus would be a pop saying something like "Please view content first" appearing when they try to click it.
But on this occasion I have created an assessment in AS2 and I want my "Take Assessment" Btn disabled until the rest of the content has been viewed. If someone clicked on the Assessment button before it is viewed it would be good to have a message pop up saying "content must be viewed first" or something like that. How do I do this?I have the content set up in scenes.
