Not sure if this is the best way to do it but I want to have every individual line from a text file.
something like
variable=loadtextfile("text.txt");
variable.split(newline);
textfield.text=variable(2);
thats just something I came up with now, im sure it wont work =/
I have a site that has several different loops playing in the background. I want to control them with a single sound icon.What I was thinking of doing was setting a variable value when the sound was played - something like soundplaying=loop1.Then, when the speaker icon is clicked to mute the sound, it would be something like this:
Code:
onRelease {
var (soundplaying value):Sound = new Sound();

How do you load an image that exceeds the 4096×4096 limitations of flash while splitting it?
View 5 RepliesI'm attempting to load into an array data from an external .csv file. No problem here.
I load into a first array all of the data and split the data at the end of each line ("
").
Then, I place into a new array each line that was split.
The problem is that the last element in this new line comes with an invisible space such that when I do a trace they come out as follows:
AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
instead of
AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
This is a problem because I later on do a switch check for 'AAAA', 'BBBB' or 'CCCC' and I think it doesn't recognize any because of the space.
I've been working on a AS3 script to control my FLVplayback component. I'm very close to making this work. Let me describe what I want to happen.On my homepage I have a DIV container where my video will be located. I want a still image of the video to load with a play button over it.Upon mouse over I want the button to change colors, upon mouse click I want the video to play.I have a .FLA project I'm working. I've got a FLVplayback component, sourced to my .flv. I've created a button and it works. When you click it the video plays.I have 3 layers.
actions (this is the top layer)
buttons (has a button and progress bar)
assets (only the FLVplayer)
The following AS3 is set to frame1 in the actions layer.
I'm using FlashCS4, AS3 and DreamweaverCS4
Here is the weird issue.
#1. While working in Flash.If I do a publish preview the play button with load for a split second and then disappear to be replaced by the still image.If you click on the center of the still image where the play button SHOULD be, the video will play.
#2.If I view this online.The play buttons NEVER disappear, however the still image NEVER loads.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to load long pieces of text from xml into flash. Then somehow splitting the text into blocks of say 50 characters. So if the text I was loading had 175 characters in it, the textField would show the first 50 chars, with a counter "page 1/4". Using foward and back buttons would load next/previous set of 50 characters.

Is this possible to do?
I have two text fields, textL and textR, that read like a book with a specific height and width. Currently I have the external .txt/.php set up variables for each page. Example of book.txt :Code:&page1=Hi this is page one.&page2=And this is page two.I am looking for ideas on how to approach using just one variable which is split at the absolute end of textL with the rest of the variable or string loading into textR. Basically, automating the split of the text when it runs out of space in each field.
View 3 RepliesI am very new to AS3. I am creating on flash website where in one section i have few tabs, and a print button. When any user click on the print button form any sub tab, it has to print all the tabs content.
Now i am able to add multiple pages and able to print all the tabs. But when any of those tabs having more content then the print page height it is not flowing to the next page. It is cutting off.how to split the text according to the display height. so that i can store that in another page.[code]...
The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

Hey flash gurus. I did a search and while I feel certain this has been covered (and am content to be flamed) I couldn't find the answer here on the boards so here goes...
I fumble/stumbled my way through making a web site for myself and I'm pretty happy with the results. I am sure I did some obscenely newbish things but it works and it looks good enough so I'm fine with it for now except...
It takes a good long time to load the web site which I believe is due to the fact that ALL the pages of the web site are mashed into a single SWF file. I would like - for a number of reasons - to break this into several different pages (not just for size but to make updates less painful).
