View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic textbox on the 3rd level of a flash movie. The textbox has some hyperlinks for which I used this AS2 code as a test:[code]When I test the scene it works well on all levels apart from the root level. When I test the whole movie, the link does not respond. On rollover the mouse converts into a text cursor, and I have to click several times, until randomly a hand comes up and the link opens. I don't understand why on all sublevels (in the movieclips), the link works perfectly (on rollover mouse becomes hand and click loads URL int browser), but not on the root level. Btw, I placed the movie with the textbox on top, so there is no layer above that in the root timeline.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to control aspects of a movie clip using hyperlinks within a dynamic text box?I am using LoadVars to import text from an external .txt file into a dynamic text box,and although I can create simple hyperlinks (using <a> tags) within the box that can redirect the current page to a new URL, is it possible to have links which work within the flash movie - i.e. navigating to another scene?
View 2 RepliesIm retrieving tweets, so i have dynamic text, but i the tweets occasionally contain hyperlinks. I know you can find the hyperlinks in text. But every technique i have tried has failed, i think its because there searching through an array and then converting that to a string
Well heres my code:
function userTimelineResult(e:TwitterEvent):void
{
for (var i in e.data)
{
[Code].....
I have a text field which displays text loaded from xml. The data is rendered in htmlText.How can I disable the hyperlink if that hyperlink is clicked?

If I have a dynamic text box with hyperlinks in it, how do I control movie objects through them? I mean is it some kinda code that I'll have to add in the <a></a> tags or some other cool s h i t?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the dynamic text scroller from [URL] found at [URL] Here's a link to my zipped files too... [URL]
1) I can't figure out how to have URL links in the text that loads.
2) How can I make the scroller refresh to allow for new text in the dynamic text area. The content changes alright, but the scroller stays in the same position and if it wasn't needed initially, the scroller disappears and doesn't return on new text.
I've created a horizontal dynamic text scroller (like latest news ones found on some websites) in flash 8 with as2, and this swf file reads data from a .txt file. the problem is that when change the txt in the file, it doesnt show in my browser until i clear its cache. But if a client doesnt clear cache he will get the old text...I would like to know how to prevent the browser from caching that swf content, any code or script will be most welcomed. I've tried to add <meta> tags in my html but of no use.
my embed code is like this:
<embed width="980" height="34" align="left" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

View 8 RepliesI have a dynamic text box inside a movie clip which is controlled by a vertical cursor bar.If I use the up or down arrows, everything works fine.The middle cursor button works fine in scrolling text as well. However, once use to either end of the scroll bar, the mouse "sticks" to this and continues dragging!!I have looked at this AS for a long time and can't see the problem.
View 2 RepliesI have this news scroller for work - Vertical member (160 X 600) And the idea is that it has 3 text fields (Headlines). These fields are lined up vertically (one at the top of the scroller, one at the middle, and one at the bottom.). I load them dynamically from XML, and after about 5 seconds, I have them all move up. (the top one goes up the top, and comes back from the bottom, the other two move up). The problem is that I am trying to center justify them. When they're loaded I can center justify them, using this code:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.centerFunction = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
_root.news2.headline2_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news3.headline3_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news1.headline1_txt.setTextFormat(format);
}
Now, when they are first center justified by the code, they look slightly off, and once they move they arrange themselves correctly.
how to make a dynamic scroller that reads all text from an xml file.
Kinda like a way to insert text into a movieclip without it having a set text field height..
my problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
View 1 RepliesI'm new to flash as a whole but it is necessary for a project that I'm working on. How to make a scrolling dynamic text box through trial and error, and I'm proud of that feature. But now I need to know if two things are possible. Can I create a hyperlink (if I can call it that) that will pull documents off of the web? And if so what is a sample function. The second thing I would like to know is can I embed an image file into that dynamic text box? If so how can I do that.

i'm loading text into flash via XML, into a dynamic textfield. so when populated, eg:
Name: xxxx
URL: www.xxxxx.com
Description: This is a test
Name: zzzz
URL: www.zzzz.com
Description: This is a test2
is there a way that while populating the text. i can also make them as hyperlink?
example. site 1, xxxx, when URL is loaded www.xxxxx.com, user can immediately click on the text and navigate to the URL.
from all my sources, event listener must be added. So do I have to create individual textfield in order to hold the URL?
Is there a way to make a url clickable from a parsed xml file? I pull in an xml file from the php script and then display the data in a dynamic text field. I want to have the hyperlinks be about the be linked.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to figure out how to create this movieclipI have a bunch of images which is laid out horizontally (x axis). The functionality is very simple, when I click on the movieclip it will allow me to drag it from right to left and vice versa. This part is simple enough. I face a problem when it comes to the end and the beginning of the movieclip. How do I make it undraggable when it reaches the end of the movie clip and vice versa when I drag it back to the beginning.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to create an XML based portfolio site, where images are loaded dynamically so the client can update it. I've managed this part ok, however, I want the images to be in a scroll panel so that as the client adds more and more images you can scroll through them. I've got it however, I'm struggling withlimiting this panel so that you can scroll the images infinately (ie: off the screen!)[URL]
View 1 RepliesI want to make a Flash app that will scroll text whilst music plays. The music part is easy, but scrolling the text...I've tried simply importing ALL of the text, resizing, and scrolling that one giant object upwards, but when the screen was full of text it began to slow down. I need the speed uniform to sync it with the music in the background.
I could have a 70,000,000,000 frame movie and move each element individually, avoiding the heavy load, but the amount of work on my end this would require would be so astronomical that it just wouldn't be worth it. Ideally I want something like a component that I can dump text into and have it deal with making the scroll speed uniform.
It would also be a major plus point if it could be used/created by another program, so that someone without Adobe Flash could produce a similiar kind of movie simply by putting in their text and MP3 file and hitting a "Generate" button.
