ActionScript 2.0 :: HREF In External Text File With ASFUNCTION
Jun 22, 2006
I am a little confused with the ASFUNCTION. I understand how to use it to call a function from within the swf, but how can I embed a link in the external text file? Is this even with ASFUNCTION? When I use an <A HREF etc it doesn't work. I have searched all over the forums and can't find the answer to this really simple question. Also, one other thing. Is there a good character map somewhere for UTF-8 encodings? For example, I can't seem to get Trademark and bullet points to work.
I am trying to load text and image through a external .txt-file using the asfunction. So far I have managed to load the text but not the image.(The image is baseline so it should work).
I am doing a dynamical menu they are scroll, with links, I am using asfunction. If I call an external swf:
[Code]....
But, How I do to accede to a specific label of an external swf?? I want that it loads the animation and begin to it turns from the label that I indicate.
I am trying to load text and image through a external .txt-file using the asfunction. So far I have managed to load the text but not the image. (The image is baseline so it should work).
<a href='asfunction:loadText,"+msgA[0]+",,"+msgA[0]+newline+msgA[1]+newl ine+msgA[2]+'Contact: '+msgA[3]+"'>"+msgA[0]+ How do I make "Contact" appear as Bold text?
i'm loading an external .txt file into a text field and displaying it as html, works fine... but i when i include a link to display a *second* .txt file in place of the first one, it only works if i click on the link twice. i'm using 'asfunction' in the html link in the txt file. someone suggested replacing 'loadVariablesNum' in the root script with 'loadVars.sendAndLoad', but something isn't right
How 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 think this is a relatively easy fix but I have looked around for the answer and have not been able to find it. I am using a dynamic scrollable html text box. I would like to add links. The only problem is that the double forward slashes (//) in http:[url]....makes the following text become a commment.I have a dynamic text box with an instance name of myText and in my AS layer I have:
Code: myText.htmlText ="the text for this scrollable text box, which is html formatted";
If I try to add a html link, obviously it doesn't work.The only workaround that I know of uses exteral .txt files.I would prefer to use those since I have not been able to get my scrolling bar with tweening to load properly with external .txt files.
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'm writing HTML text into a dynamically created text field - the text and links appear perfectly, the css styling works and they change colour when you rollover them just as they should.However suddenly they've stopped actually launching the link, I don't get the mouse pointer when I rollover, I just get the select tool and when I click, nothing happens.
I need to track href links in a dynamic textField. ie the text is loaded as XML.So somehow I need to listen for an event when this a href tag is clicked in the dynamic textField.
I have a fla that creates a textfield by loading from a text file. All I want to do is be able to have one link in that text file. It is broken up into sections Title and Content. I just want the content section to have the html ability.
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.
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.

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:
I have a dynamic text field that displays text from an external file. The text file has lists of text such as a1=(text here)&w1=(text here)& etcI want to be able to make a button so that will add one to the word count, such as, a button that says "Next" and when i do that, it loads the text string A2, when i click it again, it loads A3
I like to know an easy way to create a text autoscroll (vertical) that worked when the text was loaded from another text file. it can use for news/site update. see the attachment.
I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
I have an application that combines words introduced by the user to create new words. I would like to be able to save the resulting combinations into an external txt file.
I am working in Flash CS4 (AS3).What I have created is basically a simple photo gallery. About 5 thumbs that when rolled over a larger version appears. Both the thumbnail images and larger images are loading dynamically.I've got that working.What it's missing is a headline and a sub headline for each pic that comes up. I need to do this from an external text file.
I was able to do this with AS2.AS3 not so much. How do I control the content of multiple dynamic text boxes on different places throughout the timeline with an external text file in AS3? I just want to name different text boxes different names and have the external text file pass the variables into my swf for each text box.
I'm sure this is an easy fix but for some reason I cannot get the text field to accept HTML coding when I'm loading the text in. I have the Render Text as HTML (<>) button checked but still nothing happens. Here's the code I'm using:
Code: var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); externalData.onLoad = function() {
what ultimately I want is to click a button and text will be displayed in the text field loaded from an external .txt fileI've adapted some code i found online:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var myTextField_txt:TextField= new TextField(); myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
I've got a problem loading an external text file into a text field.The text field is named: myTextField_txt.It's Dynamic and multiline. I want it to load a text file called: myText. txt. It's in the same folder as the flash file.This is the code I currently have on my text fields key frame:[code]After moving some code around I managed to stop any error messages. But the text will not show up in the text field.
I made a scrollbar in action script §3 all from scratch and loaded an external text file edited in text Wrangler to display in the field, and sudden all my HTMl tags are not responding though added htmText to it. Well, the only tag responding is the link tag, the rest no, like bold, or italic or colors.
