ActionScript 2.0 :: Inserting Text On Click?
Nov 6, 2006
I have a input text field on the stage and I want to insert text into that inputTF via a button. I can't use something like
Code:
add.onRelease = function(){
inputTF.htmlText = "hello world"
}
becase it replaces the user's inputed text. I want to just insert text where there "flashingType-dealy" is located (my apologies I don't know what it is called).
I think a starting point is using Selection
Code:
Selection.setFocus(inputTF);
Selection.setSelection(this.tempBegin, this.tempEnd);
//what else? //

I am somewhat of a beginner and have been attempting to create an entire website using Flash CS4 Everything is going quite well and the body of all of the pages are built The navigation buttons to each page are working perfectly. Now I am simply filling in the content for each individual page. Most of the pages were large enough to contain the content without requiring more room One of my pages will have a large area of text and several pictures.I became aware of the Components menu last evening and the selection of the scrollbar.I added the component to my page and sized it accordingly. It allows me to add text but not JPEG images. I was wanting to know how to utilize the scroll feature and still have text and images on the page

I know you can read the contents of a text file into a dynamic text field at runtime. Can you also insert the string contents of a variable into a dynamic text field at runtime? I simply want a dynamic text field that says "Welcome back, <username>" I am doing it right now with a static text field and a dynamic one, but if the username is really short, the whole thing is not centered and looks weird. Optimally, it should all be part of one element on the stage.

I'm trying to take a variable from the parent movieclip and use it in the child movieclip inside of a dynamic text field.
The variable has a value that is taken from a php file.
I'm completely lost at the moment and know that my code is probably completely wrong.
here it is:
parent movieclip:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("../SC/FLA_cont-btn.php"));
[Code]....

Basically all I am trying to do, is place a simple text animation on a separate layer and animate it. Every time I insert the first keyframe on the first character of the text I am animating, it turns the whole document white. When I preview it like this, the white "layer" pulses at the set frame rate I have applied. I have played around with moving the layers and what not and I cant get this problem to go away.

I have a project that needs to take dynamic text and arc it. Similar to this: http:[url]...In this example, select a font then click create text item.At this point you can slide the meter to change the arc of the text. This is exactly what I need to do.My understanding of what needs to be done is I need to first break the letters of the text field into separate text fields, loop thru them then position and rotate each char to the desired arc. The problem is my trigonometry really bites. I have tried many tutorials and I have gotten similar results, mainly arcing text into a complete circle at different radiuses. But all I need to do is whats in the example, which is allowing the user to gradually arch the text.

Is there any way I can embed HTML in flash? I know I can do this with text boxes but is there any other way I can do it? If not I know theres is the load feature where I can load text from a text file. With the html text box editing, Can i link that to the text file?. As in when you edit the text box with html could i have the textbox's instance name equal to the text file? With this my issue is with the <a href> in one textbox, I would like when i click those it open another text file in a different text box.
Clarification: I have two text boxes in my flash file.One has current products. And the other is the description of the product they select. I would like a way to edit and change the products in the first text box without having to keep using the FLA file. Which is why i am using this code
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {trace(e.target.data);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
The contents of myText.txt are <a href=(not sure what to put here)> Product 1 </a> But all that does is put it in the text output section in flash.It does not show it in flash. I need help getting it to show up in a text box.That is the first part But the main problem is im not sure how to code the a href correctly so that when i click it, another text file opens in the second text box.So that when a user clicks on a product ,like "Product 1" It opens the correct description text file in the second text box.

I was attempting to create a text box with a submit button, where, when the text box first appears, there is text inside the box itself, for example, "enter answer here". However, I would like to have the ability to automatically clear that text when the user clicks on the text box, rather than forcing them to clear it.I found this thread which seems like it should work, using FocusEvent http:[url]...... However,when I entered that into my code using the name of my own text field, neither of the functions is ever triggered by clicking on and then off the text box.I even entered a trace to make certain, and it isn't.Am I missing some key point?

I am doing a project for someone and we bought a template and I know enough to modify pretty much anything we need... until now.I want to do exactly what is listed here: [URL]But I can't figure out where to add the code. I'm not much for adding, so far I've been able to copy something in the library and modify it to do what I wanted but I have no idea what I can copy or modify for this.

Does anyone know the theory behind using javascript to insert your SWF files into the XHTML page, rather then the ("Insert.., Media.., SWF) way.
Is this a better way of doing it? whats the difference?
the Java looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
A[
var so = new SWFObject("here.swf", "", "100%", "100%", "9", "#000000");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");

How do I get my links to clear the container, while inserting a new swf file??
I've tried with both the unload and removechild functions, but I can't seem to figure it out.

You've seen those Input Text Fields on web sites that have titles on them, i.e. Name, Email, Message, in the Text field itself. Then, when you click on the the text field to type something in, the "title" disappears and you can type your info in. Perfect example: [URL] (Under "contact")

I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?

I am making a Layer contains 312 Key Frames that is made of 312 gif images (each image contains a specific detail for my movie).what I have done;
-I have made a Keyframe in Frame 1 (imported Det1.gif to stage)
-then Selected Frames 2 to 312 and pressed F6 (Made 312 Key Frames that they all contains Det1.gif)
-Now I am one by one, going to different frames and cicking on Det1.gif image, and click SwapImage.
Now that I am talking to you, I have Swaped 50 of them, But still I have a long way infront of me to go before I finish those 312 SWAP images one by one.
