ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Variables From External File To Fill In TextInput Component
Jun 9, 2005
This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

I'm trying to use the following piece of code to load variables from an external URL into my flash. It works on one server (development server) but not on my production server. I was just wondering if there's anything to do with server setup that would cause it to fail?
Code:
this.params_lv = new LoadVars();
var owner:form1 = this;
this.params_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
[Code]....
This exact code works on one server and doesn't on another. On the one that it doesn't work on it always hits the alert('Error: Cannot connect to server'); ..

I had a question about loading external variables. Is it possible to load external variables from a different server other than the one that the flash site is hosted on?
And if so, what would that command look like?
For instance, if you load a variable from the site's own server it might look like this;
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
Would loading it from a different server look something like this;
loadText.load("http://www.kirupaforum.com/TEXT1.txt");

I'm using the following code to load some variables that contain links to images. I also would like to have a second file with variables with the settings for my flashmovie. How can I use this code to load 2 files? Or do I have to nest them etc?
Code:
var imageVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
imageVars.load("images.txt");
imageVars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
//do stuff here with loaded variables
}

I'm "attempting" to create a tab-like login form that animates with the tweener when rolled over and rolled out. My problem is the textinput component fields can't be accessed inside the movie clip button?

import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
tab.onRollOver = function() {
[code]...
In my project...login is simply two text fields and tab is the animated background.`

I'm using the TextInput component, but it doesn't seem toallow for a word wrap - when you type your letters just keep goingoff to the right and what you typed on the left isn't visible. Ifigure there's gotta be a way, but I looked around in thefiles and couldn't find it? Does anyone know how to do this?

I have a textinput component that needs to have a transparent background. I've tried adjusting the alpha to 0% and 25%, the former doesn't display the contents (white font bold sans-serif) and the latter leaves a shaded background. I've also tried the following:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat; tf.color=0xFFFFFF; tf.font="Sans-serif"; tf.size=12; tf.bold=true; txtlowtemp.setStyle("textFormat",tf); txtlowtemp.backgroundColor=undefined; txthitemp.setStyle("textFormat",tf);

However, this gives error 1119 access to possibly undefined property backgroundColor.
How can I create a truly transparent background for these components?

I have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.

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've made a component to control the movieclip in the main timeline. The instance name of that movie clip passed as a parameter to the component. That is working fine in that file. But when that file loads into another SWF file, that containes a movieclip to hold the file that is being externally loaded, the methods are not working in that componentThis is the code of the component.
#initclip
function visiblerClass() {
this.what = this.insofitem;

I have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = false;
my_fmt.font = "Arial";
[Code]....
This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage).
