ActionScript 2.0 :: Replacing Characters - InputTF - Button MC And A DynamicTF On The Stage
Nov 24, 2006
Scenario: InputTF, button MC, and a dynamicTF on the stage. What I want to do:When a user inputs text into the inputTF and presses the button, any spaces are replaced with _ and the "string" is placed in the dynamicTF. EG: I type "this is an example" into the InputTF. I then press the button. The dynamicTF now reads "this_is_an_example" You might be able to see how useful this kind of process is for many projects. Plus, I'm super curious

I am making some string variables to use in an animation. Another person in the office has has written all of the text using Word. Some of these strings have up to 50 lines and each new line has some sort of special character in there which creates an arror in AS. I can manually go through and place the cursor at the end of the line at that point, hit delete and then type in " ". This eliminates the error but I have a lot of these strings, days of work. I have not been able do a simple find and replace. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to use notepad++?

I am trying to do something that seems like it should be relatively easy. Well bang goes that theory. Here is what I am trying to do. I have the path to a group of images stored in an xml file. I want to load them to a movie clip on the stage. doing this directly by reading the xml file and using loadMovie("filename"); bsaically does what I want it to do with just a few problems, 1. the movie repeats so the same image is pulled from the server multiple times sucking up bandwidth. 2. On slow connections the images can sometimes load slow making the movie not display properly. What I would like to do is load all the images into some structure and add the images to the movieclip in the time line when needed. How does one accomplish this in action script 2.0?
In a perfect world, I would just load all the images to an array and load the array element to the movieclip on the stage.

I've tried the following:
var button_up:Loader = new Loader();
button_up.load(new URLRequest("C:\images\button_up.png"));
nextButton.upState = DisplayObject(loader.content);
and no error occured, but the upState of the nextButton became invisible. What's wrong?

Basically I have a media gallery loading xml through a document class. I have buttons set up to load different Movieclips from the library, and inside these movieclips is the media gallery with the xml.
My question is.. What can I use for my buttons that can replace the default "xml path"?
Like in a way of "deleting the default xmlPath" and over riding it with a new one?
Here's the code on the stage of the fla, with different buttons...
ActionScript Code:
/*
These Variables are different MovieClips for the building to load
Choose based on your liking
*/

I'm making an interactive animation for my project and I need to display chinese characters on stage. I've already installed the neccessary Window XP features to display chinese and it does display chinese anywhere I go. The strange thing is that the chinese characters are displayed as little white squares on stage but not in my library. In other words, I can read chinese in my library or any other places in my computer besides those that were set on stage.

1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I have a main shell swf file that has two buttons on it that should each launch/load their respective swf files (tool1, tool2). These should essentially replace the main swf file. Also, I have a button on tool1 & 2 that should bring you back to the main menu. All these files are then compiled into an exe. Seems easy enough, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.
So far I have:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
tool1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoTool1);
function gotoTool1 (e:MouseEvent):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("tool1.swf"));
}

I am trying to use sIFR to replace the headlines (e.g. The Tour of A Lifetime) on this page: [URL] The font I want to swap in is Verlag by hoefler & frere jones. I had this working the other day but it suddenly stopped working: the font does not replace. All the js/css/flash files are linked correctly. I tested my verlag.swf and it works. And, I tested sIFR with a different font and the replacement worked. Am I having issues because I have yet to buy a Verlag license for the server?

I'm working on a project for the new year gathering at our work. I made an application in which you can type a wish for the company and when you send it your message will be displayed in an dynamic text field and in the background fireworks are launched. These fireworks are external swf files, made in adobe after effects. They are launched when clicking a button. They are played at random. However, after playing 2 or 3 they start slowing down, probably because they stack on each other. I need the new swf to replace the old swf, now my application keeps loading new swf on top of each other.

I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.

I have a website which needs to 3 images into 3 movieclips when the page loads. The page gets the URLs for the 3 images from an XML document, ie.
<imgurl>graphics/panda.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda2.jpg</imgurl>
<imgurl>graphics/panda3.jpg</imgurl>
What I want to do is make a function which gets the image URL for each image and puts them into a target movieclip each. In AS2, the loadMovie function could do this. In AS3, I've figured out how to add an image to a movie clip, like this...

I'm creating a platforming game, and I have a fun little water thing set up. My goal is to be able to drag a water object from the library to the scene, and have the water physics kick in when the game starts.
To do this, I made the water object a black line, because width is necessary to know how wide I'd like the pool to be. Within the class I have a heightmap, so then I can connect all the heights together with lines using the drawing API.
The problem is, I can't get the original black line to disappear while still displaying the new lines and points Setting the alpha to 0 will permanently make everything invisible. I'm kind of new to this so maybe it's a dumb question.

I have looked at some of the related posts on this subject but i can't figure out how to solve my problem. I guess it has something to do with the fact that its monday.Well, here goes. i have a XML object containing:
<root>
<page>
<text>[code]....
And i want to replace only the label node with a new one. i put the new ones in an XMLList but now im stuck at how im supose to replace the actual nodes. This is how the XMLList looks like:

public class AvError extends Object

The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.
I've done a bit of research and I think I've worked out that I need to search using this pattern:

There's a SWF file on one page that, when you click on a 'Start' button loads some image. The URL to this image is passed as a SWFObject variable. I would like to change this image to one I have uploaded on my host. have tried setting a breakpoint on the line that pushes the image URL variable to the object and setting my URL, but the image wouldn't load because of cross-domain policy.Now I am thinking of writing a simple c# proxy which will return my image instead of the real one when Flash requests it .To sum it up, I want to replace an image that SWF loads from a constant URL to a custom image of mine. Decompiling is not an option.
