ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - How Much Text Is Inserted From An Xml File
Apr 7, 2009
I have a loop which duplicates a MC ('news_list')on the stage and places it underneath the most recent clip...
code:
for( i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
var news= news_list.news_item.duplicateMovieClip("news_item" +i, i);[code].........
I have a text box inside the MC which autosizes depending on how much text is inserted from an xml file. This should then obviously increase the height of my 'news_list' movieclip.What I want is for the next instance of the 'news_list' MC to be placed directly underneath the current one,no matter the height of the clip.Currently,I can only get it to position a specified distance below the current instance.The code above is what I've currently got,but I can't quite grasp how to grab the height of the current instance, and then use that in the code to place the next instance below it...

I've inserted my flash movie into an HTML page and uploaded all the necessary files, but it will not display. I've seen other users post their code, so I will here:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Whenever I use the pen tool, or brush tool, or anything for that matter, I can not view it on Flash Stage. I've noticed that if I set the file to ActionScript 2.0 I can though. This would be fine, except that I need ActionScript 3.0.. I'm a student, and I have a project I need to start...calling Adobe support did not help at all.
P.S. (if this makes a difference) Whenever I test the movie, I can see whatever I put on the stage.

I am using flash 8 and I have succeeded so far in loading variables from a text file that contains around 20 lines and have the variables displayed in texboxes. The problem is that it goes directly to the last line and displays those variables. I need it to read the first line only and stop so I can add a "next" and "previous" buttons and be able to navigate through the database.

dynamic text field, which displays a txt file.
If I hardcode the file name in the code, then it works fine. This is on the first frame of my movie, which holds the dynamic text field.
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(success)
{
[Code]....
Is there a trick to defining url's for dynamic text fields? Because if I hardcode the path from the server, it works locally, but again not on the server..

I am attempting to insert text from a database into a custom TextArea component, using the following:
var front:CaptionTextArea = myFlashcardFrontsides[adjIndex] as CaptionTextArea;
var back:CaptionTextArea = myFlashcardBacksides[adjIndex] as CaptionTextArea;
var passage:CaptionTextInput = myVersePassages[adjIndex] as CaptionTextInput;
front.text = passage.text;
back.text = str;
This works 100% of the time for smaller strings. However, if I insert long strings of text, the application will hang consistently. The maxchars for the textarea is set to 1200, and the text that is inserted into the text area is always smaller than the character limit:
backside.maxChars = 1200;

i have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:

I cant believe that Flash will let you load data from a text file then doesn't allow you to do anything with the data other than display it. Surely there must be a way you can do something the data imported ie perform some calculations.Is this beyond Flash or is this something that has been addressed in AS3?

I am working on a project which there are two .swf file play side by side simultaneously. I need to use one of the file to control the animation in another file.
If they are in same .swf it should be easy. I can just use:
gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
but there are two .swf now. (lets say movieA and movieB) I think I should use something like:
"LinkToMovieB".gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
"LinkToMovieB" should be the link to movie clip in the movieB file.
my problem is how do I get the link to movie B's movie clip. or there is other proper way to do this task.

I'm trying to insert an SWF flash file (a game) into another Flash file. However, when I import the swf file into the library and drag it onto the frame (and insert the stop(); command onto the frame action to stop it playing the whole movie), the SWF file plays constantly, ignoring all the actionscript and button commands in the game SWF file.When I try inserting it using the Window component, the game SWF refuses to play at all - it just stops (clicking buttons in the game work, but it goes-to-and-stops instead of go-to-and-play like it's supposed to do).When the game SWF is played by itself (by just double-clicking to open it from Windows Explorer or embedding it in a web page), it works fine.

I am creating a new site using Flash 8 AS2, I have a question but im not even sure if its possible. I have created (for arguments sake) Main.swf which is made up of a logo, music player and a main window, this main window is a MC called content (content_mc). This loads external SWF files into it.
At the moment when the main.swf file is accesed it automatically fades content_mc window to black then fades back out to display a swf file called 'door.swf' that all loads fine and heres my question --- within door.swf there is a button (door_btn) what i want to happen is when door_btn is clicked I want it to look at the action script listed under the main.swf file and fade out content_mc (currently displying door.swf) then fade back in with the a new swf file i.e room.swf.
So the main.swf file has no buttons on it, all the buttons will be displyed within the swf files loaded into the content MC, when any of these buttons are clicked I want the Main.swf to perfom the transition and disply the new swf file, is this possible ?
The code im using at the moment is as follows: In Main.swf i have a content_MC and transition_MC
Content_mc
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {
[Code]......
I know ive got to put some code into the external swf files but i dont know what ?

The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

I managed to make some code that works perfectly which, when the flash game is launched it randomly inserts a picture from the list you give it (word1.png, word2.png etc.)It works fine! But the problem is the place in which it appears, when i start the pictures appear in the top left corner of my flash game, but I want them to appear at preferably the location of a symbol or the x & y coordinates I specify (In actions obviously, i dont want to type these coordinates in game :P).Btw here is the code
var _loader:Loader = new Loader;
var _pictureArray:Array = ["word1.png", "word2.png", "word3.png"];
var _whatPicture:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3);

I need to create two combo boxes that are populated by an XML file. In the first combo box there are 13 choices and depending on what the user selects I need to populate the second combo box with the correct information. Now I can create the first combo box just fine but when I try to dynamically create the XML file name for the second combo box it doesn�t seem to work. What I am doing so far is taking the data from the first combo box and adding the quotes and .xml with this piece of code:
PHP Code:
pModCombo = '"'+event_obj.target.selectedItem.data+"Combo"+".xml"+'"';
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load(pModCombo);
If you trace that code it creates the file name just fine however the xml file will not load. If I replace that code with the normal xml code like this:
PHP Code:
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load("new.xml");
The second xml file seems to load just fine. However, if I create an if statement with all the different xml file names I will have to update the swf every time I add a new choice in the first combo box. So my question is does anyone know how to dynamically create the xml file name?
PHP Code:
pmComboXML = new XML();
pmComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pmComboXML.load("brands combo.xml");

Loading the text file works just fine until I put the .swf on another domain. How can I still load the .txt file without just putting it on the same domain? Is there some kind of security or permission that I can place into the html or flash?

there are 2 items on stage, one is the "button" with instance name myButton and a dynamic text field.so the action script goes this way...
myVar=0;
myButton.onRelease=function(){
myVar++;
trace("click");
}
the dynamic text is initially zero (0) and when i click the button it counts the clicks up to here every thing works right but...when .swf file previewed in html after clicks if refresh is pressed the number is going back to zero.i want to upload this file and use on webpage.

I'm working on someone's Flash project and my task is to add roll over text to all the buttons in the project. The problem is I can't use the actual buttons because the are underneath some other animation. What I want to do is to add roll over text using the coordinates of the button but not the actual button.

Im trying to make a game, but want to use specific text input to get points, this is probably simple but it doesnt seem to work for me. Essentially I have a text input area on the screen and if the user enters the right value and then clicks continue they get points. I have a text input area named numgame and have attached this code to the continue button:
on (release) {
if (numgame = "343"){
_root.score = _root.score + 100;
gotoAndPlay(536);
}
}
Currently it seems like the if statement isnt even doing anything, the score is added once continue is pressed no matter what is entered. Is there a better/ correct way of doing this.
