ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Value Of A Variable Into Dynamic Text Field
Feb 20, 2007
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]
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'm trying to load a simple variable &myVar from a php file into my flash movie, that's a blank movie with just actionscript in it.I tried to load this &myVar into a dynamic Text field and it works fine, but I can't get this value into a flash variable to manipulate it with actionscript.. Must be simple.. My actionscript it
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 >_<
Is there a way to adjust the height of a variable text fieldto match the dynamic content populated at run-time?I have a dynamic text field on the stage. I replace the copyin that field at run-time and it may be 1, 2, 3, or 4 lines long ifthe width of the text field stays the same. Is there a way tocontrol the height of the control to adjust to support only thenumber of lines needed? I'd like to set another control on thestage right below this field but I need the correct height of the
I want to assign a variable "speed" to a dynamic text field with the instance "spdDisplay" and round it to two decimal places.I'm pretty new to flash but, this seems like it should be easy.Here is the code I have - it does not work
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.
I'm trying to create a temperature control box for a flash movie and i have it so that two arrows would control the temp, i can't seem to get them to increase the dynamic text field titled target_temp it sets it fine on the first load but then once I try to click the increase arrow the text field doesn't increase, do i need to reload the movie? here is the code I have so far.
I have a preloader. On one frame of the preloader is the code:[code]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. Anyone know whats wrong?
The following code, when attached to the MC panTracker_mc works as desired, passing the value of the dynamic text field with a VARIABLE name of s1Pan to s1 sound object, thus controlling the pan.
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.

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.
I have an external text file I use to load captions for my slideshow I'm using to present images in my portfolio I'm making for my senior seminar class. I want it to open up a url to show an expanded image of the thumbnail I added. 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 even made the field render text as HTML but it doesn't work
I'm trying to take a variable from the parent movieclip and use it in the child movieclip inside of a dynamic text field.
The variable has a value that is taken from a php file.
I'm completely lost at the moment and know that my code is probably completely wrong.
here it is:
parent movieclip: var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded); loader.load(new URLRequest("../SC/FLA_cont-btn.php"));
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".
I have tried and had success loading an img into a dynamic textField at run time. But sometimes it takes littile long to load img and gives me an impression that image is not getting loaded.
My textFields html, multiline, autoSize, wordWrap properties are set to TRUE. But still sometimes i dont get my image loaded in to the textField.
Is there anyway i can handle this? Or Is there any way i can trace this issue? My images are also having size of max 7kb.
I want to load text into a dynamic text field (called 'about_tab') using a class depending on the language selected (by clicking on a flag icon) by the user.
I managed to get this to work when the ActionScript was written directly in the timeline, but am having problems with doing the same thing via a class.
When I run it, it returns my trace statements that the class ChangeLang and the function xmlLoaded are running, but no text appears in the dynamic text field (I should/want to see the word 'About'). I get this error message:
I am using mc and few scenes. I am trying to have a button in one mc load an external txt in another mc with the dynamic text field.this is the script for the button classDescription in a MC called nav_menu

I want it to load classDesc.txt into the dynamic text field (instance name is holder) in a MC called body_dynamic.What is needed to get it to load the external when the button and the text field are in different movies?
I have a simple Google Maps API with external data loaded from XML file (location, lat, long, info etc.). I also have a custom marker as a MovieClip (marker_mc), which works fine, but I want to add a Dynamic Text Field (label_txt) to this MovieClip and load a simple data (<label>) to it from same XML file (distribubtion.xml), so as a result every location would have it's own label on the marker.I know how flash loads XML data, but what I don't know is how to include that in Google Maps API (if it's even possible).
I have a dynamic text on the stage which gets updated (shows numbers) when some buttons are pressed.I just need to know if it is possible to show the first dynamic textfield in another dynamic textfield.Lets say the first dynamic textfield called "price" and the second one called "price2". when a button is pressed, the first dynamic textfield "price" will show a number. is it possible to show whatever is shown in the "price" in "price2" ?
