I have multiple mc's that contain input textfields. I want the results of these to appear one after another in the same dynamic textfield. Later they will be sorted alphabetically.
So far, I've been able only to get one item to appear at a time in the dynamic textfield--the next item replaces the first. A for loop didn't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the new text string to be added to the previous text string rather than to replace the first text string?
Anything at all similar I've seen creates a shared object instead of writing multiple strings to one dynamic text field.

I have a Bubble with a dynamic Text Field in the middle of it. I create multiple of these and have them float up. If you click it, I want the bubble to pop. Everything works, but only if you click the bubble at the edges. If you click in the middle, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have defined two variables,
Example
x = 2;
y = 3;
I then want to load both of these variables so that they will look like this
(2/3)
/ is just a separator not a divide operator!
I want to load these two vars into a dynamic text field called loadText:
_root.loadText = "WHAT DO I PUT HERE";

I'm still a beginner with AS3. I am simply trying to load my .htm file into my dynamic text field, but it will not show up. When the movie plays, the cursor shows that there is text where it is supposed to be, but I do not see any text. I don't see an option to attach a file, otherwise I would.
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat ();
myFormat.size=16;
myFormat.align=TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
var htmlText:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("text.htm");
var loadShit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadShit.load(htmlText);

Is it possible to load text into a dynamic text field, and if yes how could I do this? I've searched a few tutorials on dynamic text fields but it concentrates on scrolling. I would like unique text to load in the dynamic text field depending on which navigation button I click on.
(i.e. I click on "button1" and "blabla1" text appears in the text field. I click on "button2" and blabla2" text appears in the same text field.)

I am at work right now trying to create a power point for our Christmas party. I know I can do so much more with Flash than I can with any other power point program. Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to load a list of names into one dynamic text field that changes at certain time intervals. I'm using ActionScript 2 right now b/c I haven't learned 3, yet. Is there a way for Flash to access a word document and load a name say, every minute? I know I could add a different variable name in front of each employee name, like content, content1, content2, but I have a list of like 300 names here. That would take up almost as much time as it would creating a slide for each name in Power Point.

I have a question regarding ActionScript 3.0 and using buttons to change numeric values in a Flash project. I am trying to create a program that adds and subtracts numbers when buttons are clicked. Here is the code that I have written for the first button that I want to use:
Code:
//Number values//
var withdraw = 0;
Amount_total.text = withdraw;
[Code]....
However the problem I have is that the K200disp text only displays 1,2,5,10,15 etc while the Amount_total text seems to randomly display 200 or lots of 0s!

I am loading some XML into a dynamic text field
Actionscript Code:
texts_mc.desc_txt.text = xmlList[0].desc;
I need to limit its length to 75 characters which is about half the length of the last line of text. Is there a way to do that? I have been looking in the docs and tried stuff with String.substr but I could not get it to work at all.

I have 2 files.. new_men_beta.fla and its class file, (the one below) which is called menu.as. In the new_men_beta.fla, are all of the necessary movieclips. What I am trying to do, load variables from flashvars, and depending on the 'rank' variable, a different menu will load up. for example, admin rank = 30. if the variable 30 is submitted via flashvars, then the menu items would have an extra 2 options, each with their own submenus. the guest rank (0 or unset) has only one menu options (with submenu), and each movie click is exported to flash. So far, the blow code, puts the background for the menu options, info_bk_mc, in the right place, when the cursor is placed over the button. However the removechild statement, after TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE has come into action fails to work.
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;

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.

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 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

I'm creating a playlist for a music player, and I've got the song names displaying correctly in my songTitle holder MC, but there's limited space for the song names to be shown in, and I'm going to eventually have it inside a scrolling movieclip. Problem is, the text inside the textfields disappear when I try to add a mask to the movieclip they're being loaded into. I've tried adding all combos of embedFonts, antialias, and blendModes I ran into, to no avail.how to mask dynamically created textfields with a non-dynamic (Flash IDE-made) mask.
Code:
for (var i:int = 1; i <= _size; i++) {
var pl_artist:TextField = new TextField;
//all embedFont = true and antiAlias commands no workie

picture: [URL].. I am making a boardgame in flash Action Script 3 each position on the board is a buttons like this: button_1_1, button_1_2 etc. Whenever a character is selected you want to move it so the script has to add event listeners for positions around the selected unit
[Code]...
In the rest of the code I have:
function userClickedPosition(position_x:int, position_y:int) it selects or deselect a unit function selectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int):it uses the listentoButton(1) function to add 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)function deselectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int): it uses the listentoButton(0) function to delete 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)
My question: adding eventlisteners is no problem but removing them dont seem to work? What did I do wrong?
