ActionScript 2.0 :: Link From Variable In Textfield?
Feb 14, 2005
I'm trying to get a variable that I get from a PHP-script to be a link in a textfield.
Right now I'm using an html tag to make a link to the information I want to display...
This works but I think its not good enough... I want to get a "rollOver" function on the Headline instead of a new line that says click me.
The following code displays in the textfield "content":
News
Headline <--Headline from the database
Teaser <-- Text from the database
Click me <-- Html link that displays the full text in a textfeild called "info"
[Code]....

I haven't worked with HTML TextFields much, and was wondering if this is even possible. I am working on an events calendar, which when loaded displays a list of the current month's event titles in an HTML TextField. I would like to have these titles be links that when clicked on would call an ActionScript line that would setFocus on the associated date TextField.

I have this command but hate the font. Is there a way to create a textbox on screen, change it's attributes like font, and have it's data come from what the code below does?
var handTotalTxt:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(handTotalTxt);

I wrote a flash (ActionScript3) based radio streaming player, there is a link in the player for users to click. It's is a "a" tag in TextField. The code looks like this
textField.htmlText = '<u><a href="' + url +'">' + htmlEscape(text) + '</a></u>';
It works fine if I put my flash player in same domain of web-page, however, if the domain of web-page is different from the location of flash player, then the link is not clickable.
For example:
A radio example page
You can see there is a link in the title bar of radio player, I hosted the flash player on CDN, its domain is different from the web-page, therefore, the link is not clickable.
Why the link cannot be clicked if it is embedded in a cross-domain page? It doesn't make any sense. I did set the crossdomain.xml file properly, but it appears that it doesn't work. I want to make the link clickable everywhere, no matter what domain the web-page is located.

I've been searching around the web for a very long time but I can't seem to find a good solution for this pickle:I have a dynamic textfield on AS3 and would like to add a tooltip to some words within the text. I already got the tooltip class, so the problem lies in fact on 'how to listen to mouse over events on specific texts inside a textfield'I've been trying to follow some methods from the livedocs but all I can get so far is a rectangle object of a single character using getCharIndexAtPoint and getCharBoundaries. It works if I just needed to add a tooltip to a single character (since it can detect which character I'm currently pointing at), but I need to search for actual words. It would be nice to have some sort of getMouseAt(text:String) but that doesn't seem to exist.

We have a little app in use with a customer where html links are generated dynamically at run time. The link text and url are put together from a couple of txt files that the customer regularly goes in and edits. These links have recently stopped working.
Of course, you would think the immediate culprit is the customer who has made a mistake in the txt files. But the the same vars from the same files are used to generate a couple of buttons on the page that DO work. And everything works when I export it from flash. It stops working as soon as it gets to a web server.
Here is the output from the functions that piece together the input data:
[Code]....
And here is the link to the app: [URL]
Choose a category in any of the lists and then any of the subheaders that appear. Most have a link in them. It's in Swedish but I know you lot are smart enough to navigate a flash app without understanding what you're clicking on

Passing an XMLList to a function to layout text and link that text as a button.[code]...
So it displays fine but every link that is set up in the MouseEvent.CLICK is the last one that gets processed, even though it displays the text for every link correctly.
I have traced it inside and outside the MouseEvent and its all fine, but anytime i click any button it always goes to the one link (the last one processed)

ActionScript Code:
var Na = 23
var C = 12

I'm currently having a problem with loadVariables. Is it possible to load a variable in a text file into flash player via the IP address to the text file?
[Code]...
What I'm trying to do: I have developed Flash projects for a client Company that are run via flash exe's. These projects sit on a network server. This company is now concerned about the security of these projects. If someone should copy the files off the server they should not play. I thought of a solution that has a text file on the server with a variable that is loaded into the player at runtime. The link to this txt should be absolute, so if the folder is copied off the server and taken off site the flash player will no longer be able to find the network folder with the text file. Does this required php, asp etc? Or is there another way to load a variable into flash player from a IP addressed folder?

I simply want to do is display a variable via a Textfield. This was easily done in AS2 by making a var; "var1", then making a textfield with a var; "var2", and having code that var2 = var1...
But of course this can't be done now.. =(
I have a found a tutorial where you create a textfield version fot he variable.. this being the coding..
ActionScript Code:
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.text = "Hello!";
myText.x = 200
myText.y = 200
addChild(myText);
But from my experience of AS in the past (AS2) Any Textfield which utilises "text here" is not possible to show coding such as
ActionScript Code:
myText = myText+=1;
Which is all I want to do. I want a variable. Editable with easy, simple coding such as the one just above. Which is displayed in a textfield. Which will constantly update it's display of the variable as the variable changes.
Just like what was easily done in AS2...
I have tried to find out tutorials etc, after finding out about the one above, I foudn one which was meant to be able to update the textfield. But ti utilised event lsiteners, of which I know nothign about, and the tutorials I've found didn't ..tutorial very well.. didn't even say what was with all the "package" stuff..

I've seen many times the following procedure to assign a variable name to a text field:
- We create a generic movieclip which contains a dynamic text field called "tittle" (for example)
- We add 4 instances of this movieclip to frame 1 in our main time line.
- We give them a different name (testMC1, testMC2, testMC3 and testMC4)
- We also add this little AS into frame 1:
testMC1.tittle = "Hello";
testMC2.tittle = "How";
testMC3.tittle = "are";
testMC4.tittle = "you";
If we run the fla we'll have the 4 movieclips on screen "Hello How are you". So far, it's ok, no problem and everything's understood. However I'm trying to implement a variation for this method which I need to use, but I'm not succeeding. I'd like to assign the variable values from a plain text file instead.
Hence, I create a plain text file called "Exampletext.txt". Inside this file I put the following variable values:
&variable1=Hello
&variable2=How
&variable3=are
&variable4=you
I add this piece of AS lo load the variables from the text file:
this.loadVariables ("Exampletext.txt");
And finally, I modify this bit too:
testMC1.tittle = variable1;
testMC2.tittle = variable2;
testMC3.tittle = variable3;
testMC4.tittle = variable4;
And well, it does not work at all!

I'm busy with making a XML banner in AS3. It worked so far with the following code:
Code:
Select allvar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("private"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
And it worked! It bypassed all the browsers popup blockers, but it brought in some new problems. Every time the .swf loops. The addeventlistener adds a listener. So if the .swf loops 5 times it will open 5 windows when I will click it. I've tried to use removeeventlistener but with no success so far. In the code without the popup bypass this problem didn't occurred. Probably due the new URLRequest. But I don't know how to use this in the javascript. The other problem is the string of the link. For some reason javascript deletes parts of the link when there is an question mark in it. Example:
If the link is [URL]
The link what will open is: [URL]

Comparison of number or string is understandable. But how come when in flash AS3.0, we do :
var a:TextField = new TextField();
var b:TextField = new TextField() ;
[Code]....
Is their some Application-wide ID, that flash gives to each component instance. Or is it compairson of the strings ( comparing the whole path of each component )

I'm keeping score in a game. I have a text field with an instance name "finalScore". The score is a Number.
Code:
trace ("score = "+score);
finalScore.text = String(score);
trace ("finalScore = "+finalScore);
The output looks like this:
score = 10
finalScore = [object TextField]
The text field comes up with "1" not 10.

Is it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.
