Im trying to get a button when pressed to display text from an external .txt file (which I've done so far), but (1) I want it to only display certain paragraphs (the actual dialogue) of this text and (2) every time I click the button it should replace the old text with the new (like in any RPG). Now I asked a former lecturer for help and he gave me a link to a website and gave me a hint of what to do, but seeing as I was recently voted #48 on Forbes worst 100 programmers of all time (actually I haven used AS for 5 years) so I thought someone could explain it to me in a much clearer fashion? PS: My lecturer said: When you click the button to add text to the textfield but you ewant the previous text to be cleared the first thing you do is empty the box ( myText.text = "") then fill the box again with your new text..

View 3 RepliesI have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.

So we were going to make a website allowing users to upload video. The website is going to be in PHP/MySQL. Are there any converters out there available for PHP to convert a video from a given format to flash to display on the web page to play?
Basically we would have a file on the server in say .avi format, or quicktime format. How do I grab it from the server, convert it to flash and display it on the php page to play?
Also, does can I use the video capabilities of HTML5 with PHP to make any of this easier?
Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:

I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.

View 2 RepliesNoob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).
View 6 RepliesI want to use a button I've downloaded from an external web. They gave me this button in .fla format, and I want to use it on my own fla file, because I'm building a website entirely in flash.
I don't know the best way to modify that button ( text, link, actions, etc) and embed it on my own fla:
Should I load it individually on another flash session, modify it, export in swf format and then import it as a library for the other project to be able to use it ?
Or perhaps I'm able to import directly to my fla ?
How do i display "<" wheteher through external text file or not.I found out that you have to encode it to %3c, but somehow it still won't display. I'm thinking maybe there's a crash with the <> tag. But something is odd, if i used simple text it works, but if i used htmlText somehow it won't work.

View 1 RepliesI'm reading text from a text file and displaying it into a text field. The problem is when i read it doesn't display the text as it is in a text file. For ex - See below imageNow , as you can see, second line in the text file starts right where first line ends.But flash doesn't display it like that. I have hundreds of lines and in most cases flash spaces consumes less space then a text file. The font in both text field in Flash and notpad is to Arial so the font shouldn't be a problem.

View 1 RepliesI'm importing text via an XML file that will then be displayed in a dynamic text field. The text is about 1 sentence long but one of the words in the sentence must be bold and a different color. So I've added some HTML tags in the XML node to change the color and format but when I test the file the html tags show in the dynamic text field and the text is NOT formatted.
Here is my code:
I bring in the XML data with this AS3 code:
ActionScript Code:
var _xml:XML;
var _xmlList:XMLList;
var _xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
Am I not using the CDATA tag properly? Or do I need to change something in the way I call up the data in the xml node ?
i have to set the text format for some tokens in a plain text. I'm trying to use the Text Layout Framework to improve the speed of the operation but i've founded that TLF is far slower (10X in my tests) than the old setTextFormat(). For each token i call this function:
public function setTextFormat(format:TextLayoutFormat, begin:int, end:int):void{
var selection:SelectionState = new SelectionState(this._textFlow, begin, end, this._normalFormat);
