ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Text Variable To Dynamic Text Field?
Jul 10, 2009
Go into the 3D Studio Max link and in there you'll see my problem.....How can I get the text to format to the width of the dynamic text field? What I have are variables set up to load text from an uploaded .txt file, into the dynamic text field... it seems to run each line way over to the right...

I have a variable that changes according to the position of a slider. I would like to display the numerical value of this variable inside a dynamic text field (created on the stage during authoring).I tried many approaches, but the one I was sure would work didn't. I referenced the "text" value of the dynamic text field from the frame in which the variable was instantiated and used. This did not work, so I am not sure what to do.[code]

This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<

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.

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

I am trying to grab a string that is loaded into my dynamic text field and use it as a variable.
The text field is populated when another button is pressed first which says input_txt.text = "myInput"
...I gave my dynamic text field the instance name input_txt
So I wrote out (on a separate button):
on (release) {
var input:String = input_txt;
trace(input);
}
I get "undefined" as my output

I have a timer that counts up to 60.
Within the timer function I have a variable that increments every second,
i.e second = second +1; I'm tracing that out and it counts up nicely on the trace output.
I want to add what I'm tracing to a text field on my stage so a text box will display the counting from 1 to 60.[code]...

I have a preloader. On one frame of the preloader is the code:
i++
loadtext = i;
emptyMC = "holder"+i
allimages._visible = false;
allimages.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+i, i);
allimages[emptyMC].loadMovie("weddingsintro"+i+".jpg");
Everything works fine, but the dynamic textfield with the var name loadtext is blank. If i set loadtext = i+"loaded" then it just displays "loaded". I know the variable "i" has a value since the rest of the preloader works.

I know you can read the contents of a text file into a dynamic text field at runtime. Can you also insert the string contents of a variable into a dynamic text field at runtime? I simply want a dynamic text field that says "Welcome back, <username>" I am doing it right now with a static text field and a dynamic one, but if the username is really short, the whole thing is not centered and looks weird. Optimally, it should all be part of one element on the stage.

Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

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.

In my external text field I have three things: &caption1=Problem: Create a photo with things that typically don't go together &credit1=Solution: Taking photos and using Photoshop to create a unique photo &software1=Software: Photoshop CS3 I thought if I added a 4th dynamic text field (url_txt) and used &url1= for each cite it would load.

I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

So I'm working with flash CS3 and AS2. I added a Loader component and a
var imagetext:String = "http://www.digitaldesktopwallpaper.com/wallpapers/unknown/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024.jpg";
And a button that
on(press) {
_root.imgloader.contentPath = _root.imagetext;
}
It all works well and stuff, but when I turned "imagetext" into an input text field, it gives me an error message
Error opening URL 'http://www.digitaldesktopwallpaper.com/wallpapers/unknown/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024.jpg<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="DokChampa" SIZE="21" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">a</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>'
how do I define that input text as a string text on the press of the button and replace the original content with the new one?

Its a simple matter of loading text from a text file named "data" into a dynamic field. The code in the frame itself is
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
name.text = this.name;
};
The thing is that the SWF file I load the text into (called "RASHI.swf"). I loaded into another SWF file called "index.swf". My site is based on this tutorial [URL]. When I run "RASHI.swf" on my PC everything is fine and the text is loaded but when I run "index.swf" (again, on my PC, not the web) it says "Undefined".
