ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling Marquee Text From File?

Nov 22, 2010

I'm using an old open-source mp3 player (musicplayer.sourceforge.net) on my site because the visual design does not clash with existing colors, etc.The author provides two versions of the player. (ea also has the fla file in case I want to modify it for a different swf) One allows the user to pick from several songs stored in a simple text playlist, and the appropriate album cover is displayed during playback. The other is a "slim" version that is just for playing one song at a time. In the first player,the artist's name (pulled from the playlist) is displayed and then the song title scrolls across while in play. Some additional basic text is stored in an accompanying actionscript 2 file. I have no trouble with this version. The slim version is supposed to do the same thing. However, it continues to marquee text of the player author's name regardless of what I change. I replaced text strings in both the actionscript file and the playlist but the player doesn't seem to extract them.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Scrolling Banner Like The Html <marquee> Tag That Loads Text From A .txt File?

Jun 23, 2010

I am trying to make a scrolling banner like the html <marquee> tag that loads text from a .txt file. Here is what I have so far:

Frame1

Code:
var formatObj = new TextFormat();
formatObj.size = 15;
formatObj.color = 0;
formatObj.font = "Comic Sans MS";

[code].....

For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling Multiple Info From Text File

Jan 28, 2009

I am currently trying to modify a hangman game I found on here (URL...). I'm not very good at actionscript and hopefully this will be a good exercise to learn more - I really want to learn how to make games. I have seen hangman games that include clues for words, but the only games I can find that I can read the source in don't have a clue field, and pull the words from an external .txt file. Is there a way of also pulling phrases to be as clues from these files? I could just create another .txt file and make it a new variable, but of course I would have the problem of it not matching the word. I hope i made sense.

Actionscript 2.0 :: Mp3 Player Scrolling Marquee Text

Apr 16, 2009

I'm new here and relatively new to Flash. I'm attempting to build an mp3 player to add to my website using the "Flash MP3 Player" tutorial. The problem I am having is that the scrolling text displaying the song information is acting all strange. It only scrolls 2 letters over to the left and then 2 letters over to the right and also doesn't fill the entire text box (it leaves a section of empty space on the right side). What I want is for the song info to continuously scroll left to right like a marquee sign while each song is playing.

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Make Text Scrolling Like Marquee

Jul 2, 2008

How to make a working marquee. I have four buttons. Each button has a primary function of taking you to a different scene, and a secondary function where some text (different text for each button) is displayed in a dynamic text box during onRollOver, which then goes away onRollOut. The displayed text are all String variables in the script.

The dynamic text box needs to stay a certain size. The text is longer than the dynamic text box. So, right now, every last part of this works, the script pops into the dynamic text box and goes away just like it should. How can I make the text scroll (like a marquee) and repeat indefinitely until you onRollOut?

IDE :: Marquee Scroll (Song Title) From XML File In MP3 Player

Jan 3, 2007

So I made some a nifty a MP3 player that grabs songs from an XML file. It displays the song name in the dynamic text field. Unfortunately, I only have very little display space and many of the track names are long. The solution: marquee scroll the text horizonally. The problem: I never marquee scrolled dynamic text and now I am lost.

Here is my main AS:
stop();
playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[Code] .....

And while this did make the text scroll on the first song, it doesn't work so hot on the second song. It blips back-and-forth between the first and second song name. Advance to a third song and you've got an even bigger blipping mess. I kind of think that this code above isn't the way to go... that it isn't even worth reworking... that I should try something completely new.

Pulling Text From A .txt To A Scroll Pane Or Text Area

Nov 6, 2009

Basically, my whole website's going to be in Flash, but I want to be able to update one page (sort of a news/blog page) without having to edit the Flash file every time. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this would be to set up either a scroll pane or a text box and pull the text in from a .txt file. That way I could continue to add on to the .txt file, and Flash would always pull in the current version. So, my issues are:

1. I have no idea where to start with the code for something like that. Is it a LoadVar? Do I physically put a scroll pane or a text area in the frame and put the action on that, or do I put the action on the frame and have it call up a text area component?

2. Will the text scroll automatically, or is that something else I would have to add in? I plan on adding to this text file for awhile, so it could end up being a lot of text over time.

3. Would I be able to format the text in the .txt at all? For instance, if I hit enter to put in a paragraph break, would that register once it's pulled into Flash, or would I have to put in an html paragraph break or something? That may be a dumb question, but as I said, I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript (or any other programming language for that matter).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling Swf File Name Into Variable?

Oct 6, 2006

Is there a method to pull the value of the current swf file's name? For instance, if I have a movie called 1.swf open is there something I can do like myMovie.name and have the return value be 1.swf?

Problem: I have 24 flash movies. Each movie has different text that needs to be displayed, so what I did was created an HTML file with vars on it like &1=Hello &2=World. Now in my flash movies I load that HTML file, and have a dynamic text box that pulls in the values. This all works, but as it stands I have to change the var the text boxes pull in, and recompile, so instead I was wanting to set the variable to pull in based on the .swf file name, like 1.swf, pulls in the var &1 and 2.swf pulls in the var &2, this way I don't have to keep recompiling, I could just copy the movie 24 times and rename the movies accordingly.

IDE :: Scrolling Pane Not Pulling Text?

I know how to create a scrolling pane that pulls in text. I test my methods by creating a text box with text, the convert to movie and make sure the Export to Actionscript is check and then on the Scrollingpane just make sure the target has the correct movie name. If I do this in a blank document everything works but in my Flash project it does not pull the text from the text box and I have no idea why. Has anyone experience this before. I just cannot find out why it works in a blank document and not in my flash project. I tried attaching my flash document but it does not fit.

Professional :: Pulling External Images Into Flash CS4 Swf File On Website?

Apr 29, 2010

Here's my problem. I currently have a Flash banner on my website that displays artwork I have made. However, it currently just shows jpegs that are embedded into the Flash file. Is there a way that I can set up a directory in my domain and just have the flash file pull these external images, at random to display? Also, it should be noted that it shouldn't pull the same image twice. That would look silly I would make the files all the correct resolution and size, so resizing is not an issue. I know you can do this sort of thing with javascript, but I want more control and a more stylish appearance.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Web Banners - Pulling External SWF File From Remote Site

Apr 12, 2007

I made web banners with the intent that the shell being the initial swf, could pull an external swf file from a remote site. View here: [URL]. The main .swf file has to be under 30k, which it is. now the other .swf files load when you rollover the buttons. this method fulfills the 30k requirement on the advertisers side - also allows the creative to have higher res images/swf files hosted on our site/side. In testing it locally, it all works great. But when I moved the .swf file to [URL] to test it - the files hang up when you mouse over the buttons - is there a chance you could check out my source? Here: [URL]. I checked out the security settings.
security.allowDomain,
not sure if I'm using it correctly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Forcing Capitalization On A Dynamic Text Field Pulling Xml?

I'm pulling in an xml/rss feed into a Flash ad. I wont post all the code. I'll just post an example bit where the problem is. What I was hoping to do is once I have my feed pulled in from the source I need to force the text I'm pulling in to be in all caps. So if I wasn't importing the xml from a feed I would use something like this I think:ActionScript Code:<span typographicCase='uppercase'>the</span>Can someone show me how I can do this with my feed? Which would be to force capitalization on any text being pulled into my text field.ActionScript Code:textBox1_txt.text = rover_feature.items.item.title[0];

Professional :: Animating A Flip Marquee

Aug 18, 2010

I'm building a retro airport scene and would like a marquee that reacts like a flip clock: [img] [URL] In theory, when the user clicks on the "Arrivals/Departures" screen, the entire screen turns into this flip clock-looknig screen and all the letters and numbers form when the machine gets to their letter. The entire animation will only last a couple of seconds, so the user is not waiting on the computer to deliver all the information, but the different letters take different amounts of time to load depending on where they are in the alphabet.
