ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Dynamic Text Using On (release) In Movie Clip?
Jun 23, 2004
I'm making a site in Flash MX, and I have dynamic text boxes so that the data can be easily changed. For navigation I'm using rollover buttons.
My rollover buttons are actually movie clips. I don't like to use buttons for rollover animations because when you roll off of them, they jump back to their normal state without a smooth transition. This doesn't look too good.
When a user navigates the site and clicks, I want the rollover buttons to load up dynamic text in 2 different boxes (header and content) from a .txt file on the server.
I did this successfully with regular buttons, but for some reason, the exact same actionscript doesn't work with the movieclips. How come? I did this from a tutorial on this site. Heres my code for the movie clips:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("roll_on");
}
[code]....

Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:
[Code]....
But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well:
There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
Phewww.. so long chain... inshort:
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! I'm sure you guys are getting what I want to do. But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
{
[code]....
how to assign the text dynamically which is inside a button and this button inside a MC which is created dynamically inside a main MC!

Im trying to make a page where i duplicate a movie clip where i would load my images externally from a folder. Each duplicated movie clip should have a different image inside it. It doesn't seem to work. Here is the source code i made:
[Code]....
I am attempting to make an Infinite Slider Menu (in this case picture folio...)using duplicate movie clip and dynamic image loading. I'll worry about the cascading part later, i just need to make this work right now.

I'm doing a little project where I have a movie clip with 2 frames, the second frame has a video in it that's a movie clip, I have a on(release) on the movie clip, but it's not doing anything when I click is the outer movie clip stealing clicks from the one inside or something? oh, also the outer movie clip is being used as a button as well because it zooms in or out when you click it, so that might be another problem

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?

Well this is the problem right here. In my flash movie, I made it so a member from my PunBB Forum can login using their login information from the forum, This is using the LoadVars and it loads the variables into flash and displays the username. In the php script i made it so it will display profile information that user has on the forum, this is where the problem comes in.. I can trace the data perfectly fine in the output panel when you are successfully logged into flash.
I can also display the data in Dynamic text boxes IF they are on the main stage.. I need to be able to load the data of the user inside of a movie clip.. that is loaded when you click "User Profile" on the menu, Once the movie is loaded, no data is displayed. Yes i have all the instance names and paths correct, but no matter what i do I cannot load the data into this movie clip. So me thinking it just wouldnt work, I tried making a profile page on a different keyframe in the timeline, That also did not load the data onto another frame.

I can show text in a dynamic text field on my main stage...
But when i put the text field in a movie on the main stage, nada!
On my button i have this actionscript:
Code:
on(RollOver)
{ _root.mc-01.letter.text = "b"; }
My movie clip has instance name of "mc-01", my text field has instance name of "letter".
I can see the textfield in the debugger and i can point to it using the targetter...
But i get actionscript error when my movie runs:
Code:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=main, frame=1:Line 2:
Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.

Basically when loading dynamic text... the .txt will have a simple yes or no inside of it... nothing more nothing less.I've been trying all morning to get a movie clip to begin playing if the value is "yes", and to NOT play if the value is "no"
Basically i have a movie clip on the main time line named WHM. and im loading a dynamic text file into a dynamic text field named player1whm.
I want to be able to change the text file to yes or no on a whim, and if the value is equal to yes... i want the movie clip to begin playing as soon as it loads that value into the box. If it says no then i want that movie clip to continue doing nothing.I have already been successful at getting yes or no to load into the dynamic text box... i just cant seem to get it to control the movie clip.

I've made a little file with some signpost movie clips that do a little animation on mouseover and mouseout. I then wanted to set the text on each of them via actionscript i.e. sign1.sign_text.text = "Checklist: Before you arrive"; etc. This code puts all the right text on the signs when it loads, however as soon as you mouseover it, the text reverts back to the original placeholder text in the movieclip (when it gets to the second keyframe). How can I keep the reference to the text it has at the beginning of the movie clip?

I have been going round and round with the problem of needing to put scrolling dynamic text into a movie clip. I have read many tutorials and forums, but just can't seem to find the right fix for my particular situation...have tried embedding fonts, using various paths, work arounds, etc.
I am editing some action script I did several years ago. I would like to use a wipe-in (mask) affect so that the text scrolls in when called, but I cannot get anything to work without the dynamic text being on the main stage...because of this, the text shows up all at once. Am creating this in a separate file to import into a holder in the main movie. I'm pretty sure this is a path issue.
Dynamic Text = aboutContent
Movie Clip = about_mc
Here is the code I am working with:
//Create variable for Scroll Direction
var scrollDirection:String;
//Create LoadVars for About content
[Code]....
If you have time, I also need to find out how to set up elements in my Main Movie to load in sequence, rather than all at the same time.

I am trying to animate a movie clip that has a dynamic text box in it using the tween class but I can't get it to work. I thought that if yr text box was inside a movieclip then tweening was possible. I've attached the fla so you can have a look.

timer = int(80-(getTimer()-/:starttime)/1000);
if (Number(timer) == 0) {
with (_root) {
gotoAndPlay(70);
}
timer = 0;
}
Above is my code on a frame in a movie clip. The movie clip contains a dynamic text box that counts down. The variable name and the name of the clip is timer. when the timer reaches 0 it is supposed to go frame 70 which says sorry you did not make it, instead it goes to the frame that says congratulations... What am I doing wrong?

Having a problem displaying a dynamic text field inside a movieclip - when I test / publish the movie, the images from my html file display in the textArea, but the text itself (also from the same html file) does not display.. I don't know why this would be happening.I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3 (Newbie).my movie clip has the instance name: contentMain.The dynamic text field (Inside the movie clip) has the instance name: myText.The text field reads a html file, which contains text and images..(I should add that I know my html file works, because I can test the dynamic text field scene in flash and see the content, but not when I test the entire movie)[code]

How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when people go to a new section of my website.

I am using Flash MX and am a complete novice to Actionscript. I created a movie clip with a dynamic text box that works fine when I test the movieClip scene. I brought that onto the main movie time line and when I go to test the movie, the dynamic text no longer works. I have tried different actionsript options on the main time line and on the movie timeline but cannot figure out where I am going wrong. Could someone give me a very basic walkthrough as to what I need to do to get this to work?

I have a dynamic text box and a movie clip with a button in it in the same frame. What I want to happen is when you click the button, it will add 1 to the text box. (when I say 'Add one' I mean if the text box says 5, after pushing the button, it will equal 6). I hope people understand what I mean, if not, ill try to explain it better.
