I used this AS to load external text (load on its own).
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
loadTexts.onLoad = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};
How can I modify this AS so that it will load when I press a button. I try to change it to this
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
buttonToLoad.onPress = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.load("myText1.txt");
myData.onLoad = function() {

I'm creating a flash portfolio, I have small image icons, each icon when clicked on loads a diff. swf file, image gallery that loads bigger external images. I would like a different external text file to load every time a diff. image gallery loads, for some reason I cant find the answer to my problem,
I would like to add some actionscrpt to each icon/button so it will load a new txt file when clicked on.
(each image icon is a button and has the instance name of icon 1, 2 etc.)
the code goes like this;
stop();
menuHolder.loadMovie("retail/photoViewer.swf")
loadMovie ("retail/photoViewer.swf", "_root.menuHolder");

I've got some code that draws a series of buttons. I'd like to label the buttons with an array that's in an external text file. I've got this:

But I can't seem to get it to see the text file with the button names.
I have a button (LOW_btn), located in one movieclip, and is set to play the next frame of another movie clip "bodybox_mc" and at the same time load an external .txt file into a dynamic text box "musictext_txt", which is deeper within the "bodybox_mc". (There is an update to "musictext_txt"'s scrollbar as well). However at runtime i receive the error 1009 (output is after the code). Here is the code (sorry if the variables and stuff are a bit long):

I can only seem to be able to have my gallery work on the main timeline but when i want to make my gallery appear after button press it seems to freeze and stop work

View 14 RepliesI wrote a code that's suppose to change the number in a dynamic text when I press a button,<br>What did I do wrong?
Object(root).currentNum=1;
Object(root).pageNum.text = Object(root).currentNum;
Object(root).arrowLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, arrowLeftClick);
function arrowLeftClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
Object(root).currentNum-=1;

now it's only showing me the number 1.
I *know* this is simple. I've read every thread on this board pertaining to this (including senocular's Best Of thread), done everything there and this still doesn't work and I can't see why.
I feel like an idiot even asking, because I've seen the examples and lengthy tutorials.
All I want to do, is change the color of a dynamic text field when you press a button. But I want the name of the field to be a variable.
Now, this is what's there:
1. the variable "_root.expinttype1" is equal to "branch" and is set elsewhere.
1a. There is an existing dynamic field called "branch" on screen.
2. On the button release I set the format:
[Code]....
Why? I set a dummy variable txt = _root.expinttype1; and even threw it into a text field to verify the data, and it shows "branch", so why doesn't this work?
I have text field which is 0 by default (score_txt)Two buttons +1 and -1 (plus_btn and minus_btn) When I press +1 text increases by one, and when i press -1 it decreses

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.
View 2 Repliesin my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..

I'm loading some external text dynamically. Before I've always added the text to a textbox which is already on the stage. Now I'm adding the textbox with actionscript too but it's cutting off the exterally loading text at the height of the textbox (I know this because I am scrolling the text). There must be some property of the textbox which I haven't setwhat it is?Btw, I don't want to just change the height of the textbox as I am loading in many different texts of different lengths and this is affecting the scrolling.

View 8 RepliesMy project has about 400 independent files. It was originally created in AS2 using the following script.
on (release){loadMovie("A_002.swf", _root);}
This same script is used every time I need to load the following .swf movie.I would like to use a similar (equivalent) script using AS3. (Please note that the objective is not to load dynamic content into a particular file as when creating a "Gallery". My objective is for the new loaded movie to applear in its own screen. At the same time the file on scree shall unload completely or disappear.
I'm trying out a game from a tutorial for a project, and I'm trying to load the next game from within the first .swf by means of a button, in this case loadButton, when this MC displays on the main swf (this is the GameOver menu screen). The syntax seems fine and there are no errors displaying, but the .swf itself isn't loading.The startLoad function I'm having problems with is at the bottom. I've tried loading external .swfs before but that was without classes... this is my first try with classes so I'm not sure if I named the public functions wrongly or put the wrong codes in the wrong places, screwed up my public vars, etc.

Alright. I currently have a site where I need to have daily specials load into either dynamic text fields or tfl which ever is easier. Right now I am using as files loading into dynamic text fields but to update it I have to open flash move that days .as files into the same directory and publish, I have to do this everyday. Whats an easy way for me to set the code to automatically load the files everyday. Like on monday the code goes to /monday/specials.as and then tuesday does the same....or would it be easier to have an external file where all I have to do is edit the text and not have to open flash move files and re publish everyday.
