ActionScript 2.0 :: Send Dynamic Text To An External SWF?
Feb 19, 2010
I have a Flash file with an FLVPlayback component that loads a video. I have an actions frame that sets listeners and then sends the current running time of the FLV video to dynamic text boxes in my "timecode" movie clip. That all works fine as long as I have the "timecode" mc and the actions in the same timeline.
BUT, I'm trying to put the "timecode" mc in the FLV player skin swf so that I can use the auto hide feature for the skin etc.
I think my pathing etc is all screwed up because I can't get this to work. My skin swf is called "Annual_Report_2009_skin.swf"[code]...

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?

What happens in my flash file is I click on a colour swatch and that colour is then stored until I click on the part of the shirt I want to change colour. Once that part of the jersey has changed colour I want to be able to send the colour from just that section to a dynamic text field (to be emailed later as a reference). As an example, I click on "btn_orange" and then click on the Movie Clip "block1". "block1" changes to orange. As it changes I want to send "block1"'s colour to a text box called "hexcode1". If "block1" colour changes, then so will the text box "hexcode1". "block2" will be linked to "hexcode2" etc.

I have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

I went to a tutorial at Kirupa that featured how to update your text from outside Flash, by using a regular text file, and a dynamic text box. The actionscript code allows the dynamic text box to display anything from the text file. The code is:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[Code]....
I wanted to see if I could experiment with the dynamic text box by rotating it so that the text could be flush with the diagonal side of a triangle. When I rotated the dynamic text box, the text dissappeared! Also, no actions were applied directly to the dynamic text file itself.

I'm using this example [URL] at the moment, using buttons to feed text into a dynamic text box. What I've done is changed it to 'on (rollOver)' when the text pops up, and what I'd like to do is have a on (rollOut) and have it load a blank.txt so the text dissapears when you move your mouse away.

I created a flash that's loading dynamic text from an external txt file. It's ON AIR flash that you can see on top right on [URL]
Now the thing is that I WANT THIS TXT CONTENT TO REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY... because I am actually loading txt file that's getting updated every few minutes, but flash content does not update, so the visitor must refresh page on go to some other page so the content will change again.
How do I make this work so that dynamic text in flash change whenever external txt file content change, without refreshing or changing the page.

I had some dynamic text with a scroll bar and it was working fine. Then I decided to use HTML formatting and bring it in through an external .txt file using the following code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
} myLoadVars.load("ContactText.txt");
The text is loading fine except that my scrollbar has now disappeared and you can only see the first few lines of text.

I have a content area with dynamic text (title and detail) that changes depending what button a user is rolling over, and i want this text to load from an external file. I have 26 buttons total, so i need 26 different titles and 26 different details to load.
I have looked around and the only solution with the loadvars technique involves creating 26 separate .txt files and loading them all in, then calling them as needed. This seems like a big waste of CPU cycles and time creating each file.
Is there an easier way to go about tackling this? Ideal would be having all the text in 1 file, and calling each identified title and detail as needed.
