I have a main movie with:
var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
externalData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
[Code]....
When these files load the text box flashes ("undefined") and then loads the text.
I have a flash with some text linked with loadVars, all works perfectly in my computer but shows as "undefined" when i publish the web...both text are actived by buttons so load time is not the matter, and both .txt files are in same directory as the .swf and the .html, and codded as UTF-8[code]...
View 6 RepliesThis should be a rather simple thing to do. Server is running, files are in my htdocs folder. but it just reports undefined.
Code:
var cat = new LoadVars
function printOut(success){
frankencat.text = cat.id;
}
cat.load("test.php");
cat.onLoad = printOut();
PHP Code:
<?php print "id=lalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala";?>
Flash file:
Code:
s.onSoundComplete = function(){
loadVars_out.songId = sa[cps].id;
loadVars_out.send("incPlayedNumber.php", "_self", "POST");

I've been working with LoadVars a lot recently and like it very much so. However, I have encountered a new problem. I have this array that already works in my Flash project:
[Code]....
All I want to do is create a flashing box to highlight an important piece of text on screen.How can I create a simple rectangle that will flash say between blue/ green for a few seconds stop flashing and box still be visible. Its literally just to highoight some text on screen I need to make sure everyone reads.
View 3 RepliesI want to have the caret (flashing cursor) to appear when I set the focus to a text field. It works fine when the user clicks on the text field.
the following does not seem to work for me:
Code:
stage.focus = mytxtfield
mytxtfield.setSelection(mytxtfield.text.length,mytxtfield.text.length);
When I try this it merely focuses on my text field and no caret comes up! mytxtfield is the instance name of my input type textfield.
Been beating my head against this for a while now and am starting to get down to the wire. I could really urgently use a hand here and would be so appreciative of any help you can offer.
I have a flash site, built in CS4 and AS2, with four textareas that are populated by a LoadVars that is pulling variables from a .txt file. These textareas are unreliable; about 50% of the time, the text displays just as I want, but about 50%, all I get is "undefined."

i am using flash, .Net, and MySQL and have elements (text fields) posting in flash.Question is, if the table in the data base is not holding the var char how can I set the text field in flash to not show undefined and just be blank?
View 6 RepliesOne of the moderators, could you've a look at this tutorial: [URL] it doesn't works with me, maybe because I've 2004 so if you change loadVars() into LoadVars() it should work
View 2 Repliesso ive just been fiddling with a loadVars to load in some html text, into my dynamic text box, with render as html button tagged. it only loads in a certain amount of my text file (which is a .txt -- and my fonts have been embedded)./.
Code:
var textData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
textData.onLoad = function()
{

And yeah, it just doesnt load in all the wonderful text I have written.
Whenever i try to display anything returned by LoadVars.getBytesLoaded or Load....Total, it gives me NaN.

I have an input field with the var name "chosenloc" in the same scope as the timeline I'm working in. I've set the input field var in code, on the fly, and by entering a number right into the field.
I made a Flash-based "news section" for my website. This file uses a text field (with render-as HTML) and an instance name of dynamicText. The actionscript fills this text field with content from a TXT file called homeNews.txt.Everything works great, except if I make additions to the TXT file and re-upload to the server, the Flash file still calls an old version of the TXT file from my cache. This even happens after emptying the cache. This is a huge problem if I need to add daily updates. This problem only occurs on the server and not when testing locally.
Here is the code I put in my Flash file:
Code:
Ext_text = new LoadVars();
Ext_text.onLoad = addText;
Ext_text.load("homeNews.txt","POST");

I have html text being loaded into an Actionscript created dynamic text field using LoadVars, and any line within the text which contains a bullet point or an accented character displays in bold. The txt file containing the html text has been saved as Unicode in order to display the characters. Cannot work out why this is happening
View 1 RepliesI am trying to control the visibility of a movie clip using a boolean variable contained within a text file.
The mc i want to make invisible is in a swf which is loaded into a 'master.swf' using a MovieClipLoader object.
I have managed to get text to display across various boxes in my loaded (child) MC using a loadvars obeject defined in the masterMC and used by the childMC. I just cant seem to be able to get the value of my Boolean variable to go with the text variables and therefore control the visibilty of my MC.
This is my code - (in the master movie):
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

I'm trying to send a negative value to a text file using loadvars().
so i did this:
send_lv.xPos = currObj._x;
but if the _x is negative, the minus is replaced by '%2D' How do i send the minus sign??
I'm using a Loadvars to change a text field with buttons, and would like a transition between the text field changes. I have an MC for the transition that moves a block to cover the text at label "up" and one to come down, revealing the new text at label "down". so i did
Code:
btn_mc.onRelease = function(){
transition.gotoAndPlay("up");
field_txt.text=text.text1;
transition.gotoandPlay("down");
}
but the problem is that all those actions happen at once, the text changes before it is covered and the transition MC spazzes out because it doesn't know which to goto first. Is there I can set this function up to be more ordered, so it plays "up" and THEN loads the text, and THEN goes down.
The code it concerns is this:
(which I found here on kirupa i belive)
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
[code].....
Im trying to load a variable from a text file with loadVars.The txt file has this -
Code:
num = 10
The flash looks like this
Code:
var load_lv = new LoadVars();
load_lv.load("tmbnum.txt");
load_lv.onLoad = loadTextVariables;[code]....
I am trying to obtain the variables/contents of a php or a text file from my server using loadVars(), and the problem is that flash can get data from almost every server but from mine. (some shared hosting service) I just tried the code provided in the help files:

my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {

I'm sure that I did no mistake in typing the URL, for it works fine in the browser (also no spaces, no freaky chars), and when i change the URL to another domain (and put the txt file on that server) everything works fine. I tried both possibilities "network access" and "local access" as well as running from an exe projector. But no chance.
Just completed this project http:[url].... however I'm getting mixed results with the text using the LoadVars method mainly with line breaks. On the live and store pages there is a text link within the copy, any idea of how I can format that as xml tags as I'm finding that easier to control, the rest of the site mainly uses xml text just these two pages are using external .txt docs because of the urls. Surely there is a way?
View 1 RepliesI have on one file (player1.fla), a movie that plays MP3s from an array, which I specify in that movie. The code for that works just fine.I've duplicated the file and renamed it to a different one (player2.fla) so I could load the MP3s from a variable (array) on a text file. This way, to add more songs, all I would have to do is update the text file.
I changed the code around a tiny bit in the "player2.fla" file to accomodate for loading a text file, but nothing more.*My Problem* The text file loads properly and displays the Title of the mp3, but it won't play the mp3.The text file looks something like this: (just an example)
Code:
&songs=song1.mp3, song2.mp3, song3.mp3
&songTitles=my song1, my newer song, the third song
My script is very similar to this: (shortened; just an example)
Code:
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {[code]......

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make Flash automatically focus on an input textfield (not the TextInput component object, but a textfield object with type set to input) when the user enters the page. I want it so they can type straight away without actually having to click inside the textfield. Previously in AS 2.0 you could use Selection.setFocus("textfield_txt"); but in AS3 is it possible?

View 1 RepliesIn as2, I have a button that attaches a movieclip with inside some input text fields (a mail form). Now, as the tweening ends for the movieclip to actually appear (I set the _alpha to 0 as he's been created and change the value to 100 with a tween), I call a function for setting the focus on the first input text field:
Code:
function setTheFocus(){
Selection.setFocus(_root.mailtext.namex);
trace(Selection.getFocus())
}
Where 'namex' is the istance name of the input text field. The getFocus trace returns positive, so the focus is there but ... there is no flashing bar within the field. If I write something, the text appears in the right text field and the flashing bar appears. I can't get why there is no flashing bar without typing anything, even if the focus is set.
I want the user to know the text input box is inputable, how can I add the text cursor to the box?
View 7 RepliesI'm in the process of switching from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0, so apologies if this is really obvious.. I am modifying/updating an old template for a client and am inserting customized navigation buttons. One is a play/pause button and I was able to swap the old buttons for the new in the library and show them on the stage with no problems. When I export to swf to preview the movie, the new button just flashes repeatedly between the different "play" and "pause" states (up, over, etc).
I checked to make sure I didn't change any names of the buttons or movie clips. I tried inserting stop(); but it doesn't work...probably because I'm not putting it in the right spot. When I select the button, it has "up, over, down, hit" in the Timeline and says the selection can't have any actions applied to it.
