ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Multiple Text Boxes Into 1 Spot On Stage?
Apr 3, 2011
I am wanting to have several separate blocks of text appear in the same spot on my stage. Here are the specifics. I have 8 buttons each controlling their own block of text. When one of the buttons (button1) is clicked its text appears. When the user clicks another button (button2) button1's text goes away and button 2's text appears. The text boxes are sitting in my library and not on the stage. What AS functions do I need to get this to work? A Case/switch or For/while or just an if else? I would like to keep from using event listeners(which may not be AS 2 anyway).
As the title states, I need to know how to save multiple text files, from multiple text boxes on the screen. Each textbox has the instance name of t1, t2, t3... and so on. Here is the code I have now:
I'm trying to get a Twitter API to work. I've managed to code most of it, however I still cannot seem to add additional necessary text boxes which will be used for the Twitter feed. I've managed to do one, but have not figured out how to do more than one, as I'm bombarded with errors when I do try. So here's the code below, I need 3 more text boxes to be used for tweet_2, 3 and 4 definitions.[code]...
Im working on a project which includes a text editor in Flash which works perfectly but im trying to alter the code so the editor works over several input boxes rather than just one. Using Flash CS4 btw. Here is the actionscript im working with. If someone could give me some pointers as to how to allow the code to edit text in multiple boxes i would be eternally grateful.
I've got a flash project with an empty content clip instance called content_mc. Depending on the button pressed, it attaches a movieclip from the library with the name contentDisplay_mc under content_mc. Now the structure of these subclips are pretty much the same with a textbox called Display. The code on Frame 1 of main timeline:
//tell Flash to display special characters System.useCodepage=true; var cssStyles = new TextField.StyleSheet(); var generic_lv = new LoadVars();
I am designing a vertical banner and gets its text from multiple items from an rss feed, is there a way I can load the items with a uniform vertical space between them?at the moment I am adding the textfields with predefined heights, so if item 1 is 2 lines and item 2 is 4 lines then there is a lot of space between item 1 and item 2
I've been staring at this code for hours.... I have a xml docthat contains football scores that will load into my flashscoreboard. If the game has been postponed, there's a node calledstatus that is populated with the info, otherwise this node isblank. My function sets the visibility property of status1_txt tofalse if there is nothing in that node (undefined), otherwise itdisplays the data that is there. If the first node is undefined, itwill start out blank, the way it's supposed to. But the minute itpulls data into that text box, it doesn't go away until there'sother data to replace it. Seems like it's ignoring the first partof my if statement.
I have 3 different dynamic text boxes filled with an even amount of content and I can link the UIScollBar to one of the boxes just fine, but I can't seem to find a way to make the content in all three boxes scroll simultaneously with a single UIScrollBar?
I am new to writing ActionScript and I'm designing a customer form for my web site. I am using multiple textInput's, Dropdown boxes and check boxes. Here is some of the code I have now for this form: [URL]. Code: package{ import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.text.*; import flash.net.*; [Code] .....
So I'm trying to shoot multiple bullets out of my body and it all works except I have an odd problem of just one bullet showing up and updating to set position for the new ones. I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.
The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting. Here's My Code (The Bullet it self is a class)
Is there any way for me to move the mouse to a spot on the stage and determine what the x/y coords are? It's really hard writing some action script and just continually guessing what x/y coord i want until i get it close enough.
I'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.

INSTANCE NAMES
box 1 = "circle_mc" box 2 = "circle_mc2" both the grey boxes are called = "targetCircle"
I have a Flash movie that I need to jump to a one of 6 chosen frames when say a user hits the back button or home in the site. I just dont want the same user seeing the flash movie replay in the same spot everytime they go back to home.

I made a spinning globe with Away 3D which sits in front of a 2D graphic in a specific spot. The swf is going to exist as part of a web-page. When a user hits "zoom in" or "zoom out" on there browser (looked at FF and IE) and refreshes the page, the 2D graphic is zoomed and stretched. The spinning globe is also magnified, but falls out of position... in this case, down and to the right. I put my original re-jiggering steps to put the globe in place in an onResize() method, called by stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
[Code]....
Even if I wanted the globe to stay dead center on the stage, I don't know how to do this. What kind of calculation do I need to make in my onResize() method? Do I move the view or do I need to move something else? Can someone explain what is happening to the viewport or the camera when the stage is resized?
I'm working on a flash movie(?) where I would like to place some hot spots on a image and with mouse over that display an info text. It got to be dynamical since I load location and text from a xml file. But I don't know where to start. Should I use SimpleButton for the hot spot and let the mouseover display a TextField with the info text?
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..
I have 4 dynamic text boxes which duplicates the text from a main input text box. How do I write a code to make visible only the dynamic text box I want when clicked it's check box.What is the CODE to make each "DYNAMIC TEXTBOX" visible when clicked on it's checkbox?
load multiple variables from a single text document into one main dynamic text field. If it is possible could someone post an example for me i would appreciate it a lot
i'm trying to load from one text file, formatted in the Shorts=blahblah&Standup=nownow&Tv=yaddayadda way to 3 text files with instance names of loadedInfo, loadedInfo2 and loadedInfo3 respectively, all are html text fields and need to link to frames (separate ones, but i'll get into that later... that's a little cart in front of the horse...). i am using this actionscript to call the files in:
[Code]...
and am getting a syntax error message for the first line, the myData=new LoadVars bit... i have tried multiple ways of doing the myData method and only errors. seems like others have had success with this.. any help? i've looked all over and have not found a solution...part 2, for brave souls. so, from the txt file i want to load into separate frames (either 2 iframes or an iframe and a dynamic text field).. nothing i've tried with this has been working either. i think this is more of an html formatting issue. tried to add a line of javascript, but flash wasn't having it.
After quite a bit of hair-pulling elsewhere on the web, I finally found "Loading Text from External Sources," which talks about loading multiple text files into a dynamic scrolling field.Url...Ok, got that to work great; now the problem I'm having is that my text is longer than the example.So when I click on my second text file, it loads scrolled to the same position as I scrolled to on the first text file.In other words, my text files aren't loading to the top of the dynamic text field...they're loading into the middle after the first button is clicked.
I have a stage where users can select a text tool (button) and then click inside a canvas area. If they select the text tool and then click inside the canvas I would like an input field to appear where they can start typing a message.It needs to have the ability to add multiple text input fields to the stage/canvas.I am building the app in CS3 with AS2.
I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and Flash tutorial. I have set up listeners so when the mouse hovers over a cube it starts to rotate: private function setUpListeners():void { spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut); } That works fine.
To begin the rotation of the cube when the mouse passes over it I have used: private function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void { addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSquare); var i:int = 1; function rotateSquare(e:Event) { renderView(curTheta+i,curPhi+i); i++; }}
I can see why this would be inefficient, as it is running the loop every every frame, and for so many multiple cubes it just lags (very badly). I should clarify, I'm hoping for the rotation to continue indefinitely once the mouse moves off the cube. Here is how I am creating the cubes onto the "grid":
public function FlowerMenu(){ var rowY:Number = 0; for (var i:int = 0; i < 190; i++) { [Code] .....
So I have this button that when I click on it I want it to load two different text files into two different text boxes. This code works just fine for loading 1 file into one box,but not when I try to do the other thing. Whats wrong with it?
I have created an AS3 FLA where I am parsing and displaying RSS text. I have traced the parsed text and displayed the text into dynamic text boxes on the stage no problem. However the line breaks in the traced text show up on stage as well. How does one strip out the <p> or </r> tags from the text to make the text one nice long line that will wrap using the length of the text box as it's parameters?
