ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Dynamic Text From An XML - Fading In And Out While Rotating?
Jul 11, 2007
SO i have looked and looked and I am beginning to believe that this may just be impossible to do with Actionscript. Basically i have a backend php file that creates an XML file of randomly selected entries from a Db. That XML file is imported to the swf file, and currently i can rotate through the XML nodes with no problem. Where i am now having issues is trying to have each entry Fade in.........and then fade out. Doing this with tweening is not an option because the tween time period never matches up with the backend actionscript rotation time period.
I have read alot about how you need to embed fonts to make this possible. have done that to no avail. THis can not be that out there of an idea. Basically i have a list of advertiser names and am wanting to rotate through them........but want a little more style than just a hard cut between the entries.

I am making a childrens story book for school and to go between the pages of text I want the text to fade in and out.. I have been trying many different things and have looked quite thoroughly and have found nothing which is what i want.
What I Would Like If I have a book (see book.jpg attached) and in that book i will have text. When the next or previous page button is pressed the page will go to either the previous or next page.
The way I think it whould be done When you click on the next or previous or next button the text is written into a dynamic text field with action script, but is there anyway to have that script fade in when it is written with action script.I think this would require having just one dynamic text field and the buttons on one frame and then just writing and fading the dynamic text in that text field when you click the button. Also is there anyway to set the previous and next button to load different text depending on the text that is already loaded?

I have a little problem here, that I keep banging my head on for a few units now. It's fairly simple:rotate a dynamic text. Think of somekind of a quirky menu structure, with a circle in the middle and leaf-like menu items around it. I would like to rotate those, then it will look like a nifty flower-menu. Anyway, I cannot get the rotation to work. I've wandered around on the forums and Google already, and all point to the same thing. Embed a font, attach it and then rotate it. Well, I embedded the font 'Arial' in my library, linked it and called it 'Embed'. Then I create a TextFormat in AS3, use the name 'Embed', link it to my TextField and set the property embedFonts to true. All this goes fine, until I use that property. In the beginning you can still see my menu (only when it's not rotated, otherwise it disappears) and it's text, if I set embedFonts to true the text disappears.What am I forgetting or doing wrong, and is there perhaps an easier option?

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;
[code]....
Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

I'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

I need help dynamically loading text from a server into a dynamic text box in my movie. If i use the loadVariables it works, with the Html rendering.. if i use it with loadVars it works but now the html doesn't render. What i want is to load some text from my server into the text box and have the html to render. Also, is there a way to display the progress as the text loads, for people with slower connections?

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

this is should be pretty simple but I have had a lot of trouble figuring this out..
I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)
I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.
I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.
I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..

When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.

I have a dynamic text box that is loading in a text file. It seems to be doing this perfectly well. However, some HTML tags seem to break it. <b> makes the text dissapear. I tried doing a <span> on it, and changing the font-family with CSS, but I dont think its reading the CSS at all.

how do I fade in/out dynamic textfield with simple knowledge of AS3? I have 3 textfields on stage, instance names : txt_1, txt_2, txt_3 Every 10 seconds I will pass in new string to all 3 textfields. I would like to improve the visual for them, thinking it would be better by adding in fading in/out effect when new strings are passed in.
passTimer = new Timer(10000);
passTimer .addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, passTimerFn);
function passTimerFn(e:TimerEvent)

I have a gallery that I built from a tutorial I found online--it has an empty mc with a border around it, and when you click on a thumbnail an image is loaded into the mc and it fades in when it loads in and out.Ofcourse it works fine offline, but when I test it online the image will load in off-center, if you click the thumbnail again (after it has loaded the first time) it loads in the position it should be in. Here is the code I have on the first frame:
spacing = 1;
containerMC._alpha = 0;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic){

The problem is that my fading routine does not work. One image loads, and the next one appears straight away when it is finished loading.

II'm trying to create a title page where two movie clips fade in. One is a dynamic text movie clip, the second is an image that is loaded.[code]I've traced the heck out of this, so all I know is that image_mc seems to only generate a single onEnterFrame event and then stops.It seems that if I comment out the .loadMovie line, the placeholder movie clip fades in properly, so obviously there is something about onEnterFrame events and loadMovie that I don't know.

I've made a website in Flash, it's the 1st time I've made a site with dynamic loading text.The text loads, that is fine, however, when I update the .txt file, the webpage does not update until I delete my internet history. This obviously no use as I can't expect returning visitors to delete their cache every time they visit.

I have an xml feed generated from our CMS. It sends lot availability to a flash map. The map has some buttons that will change color based on availability. There is also a tooltip that I would like to display 2 more fields that the xml is sending....price and model number. I am not sure how to get this to work when one rolls over each individual lot button.This is the actionscript in each of the 4 neighborhood frames:var _xml:XML = new XML(); _xml.ignoreWhite = true;_xml.onLoad = myLoad;var child = _xml;
function myLoad(ok){if (ok == true) {// for each node in the xml filevar index =0;
while (index < _xml.firstChild.childNodes.length){//var objecttitle = _xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[index].childNodes[0].childnodes[0].node Value;var objecttitle = [code]....
What do I have to do to get the price and model name into the dynamic text fields in the tooltip whenever one rolls over that unique button.

I have a project where I'm loading some HTML into an HTML-enabled dynamic textbox, along with some images, using the img tag. The problem I have is that no matter what I do, the text tries to flow down one side of the image (depending on whether I have the image set to align 'left' or 'right'). I don't want this. I want the text to sit under the image, not flow around the side. I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't seem to achieve this.
