ActionScript 2.0 :: Showing External Word File In MovieClip?
Oct 26, 2009
I am trying to make a website using flash, and as I dive deeper on this project i realize that it is far more complex than I thought.I came across with this problem:In my webpage, i reserved a big space for content, which would include text and images (a space for news). In that space, flash would read, and show, a word file (for example), thus making it possible to update the content of the website without changing the SWF file, but changing only the external word document.
I followed the tutorial [URL] and it works perfect. But I wanna go a step further, how do I link a word in the external text file? It seems that html code <a href="www.me.com">CLICK</a> doesn't show as a link, but exactly as text.
On the site [URL], for the words showing out, it use a dynamic effect to show it out. And especially,the blue background of the text is adjust according to the each line's width.
Problem that I want to share with you is that I have two external swf. One is swf generated by Flex IDE and second one is generated by Flash IDE. When I load flex swf, loading progress output is not showing until the whole file is loaded. This problem is not presented when I load flash swf as you can see on this testing page 90.157.198.254/test/test.php.
I want access MovieClips Dynamically from the external flash file.There are 5 MovieClips named Loader_1_mc, Loader_2_mc,.Loader_5_mc like so. Each of this movieClip contain 5 movieClips by named acc_1,acc_2, acc_5 like.How Can I access From the swf file. i tried few steps within nested loop.[code]
I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.
I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
create the word which changing many time and in the end become a clear word like what's happend exactly in horizintal menu in [URL] That's what i wanted the changing in words like that menu?
I am working on a new project and we are trying to figure out if there is a way to convert .swf file to Word that a client can use since do not have Flash available to them. Not sure if this conversion would be usuable in Word but I am willing to try anything.
i am using a movieclip who has two nested movieclips, the problem i am dealing is that when i try to get the width or height of the parent movieclip it always showing the values of the small nested movieclip, when i draw the movieclip it draw perfect but when i read this values shows that error, what can i do?
how I would go about downloading my cv in a pdf or word format from an swf. Basically I want my cv to open as a pdf when someone clicks a button and then enable them to print it out or save it to their computer.
I'm trying to make a simple "tamagotchi-alike" application and i have encountered problems when trying to access a movieclip. To describe the situation, at the beginning there is nothing on the stage, then from a class called Kitty I attach a movieclip called mainStage with all the animations.
I'm working on what might be called my first OOP project using AS3. I have no prior programming experience and I'm just starting out learning AS3. So here's my question - The project FLA file has no graphics on its timeline. All the graphics are imported externally through a display class which loads several .swf files onto the main stage. In one of these .swf files there is a MovieClip instance (which is functioning as a mask) by the name of viewArea_mc.
Now I'm working on a new class which has something to do with graphics that will be revealed through the viewArea_mc mask (mentioned above). My question is basically how do I address this viewArea_mc object from this new class? Let's say this new class is a kind of container whose width and height are dependent on the width and height of viewArea_mc. How do I address those properties of viewArea_mc? For example, say I have a variable in this new class called container. Why is this code giving me an error?
Ok so If I load a list of like 2000 words from a text file into a text box like this
ActionScript Code: var url:String = "dictionaries/"aa.txt"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
[Code]....
how could I randomly choose a word from the list and have it as a variable
Is Flash a part of Captivate or do I need it to be able to put interactive quizzes into a document. It sort of sounds like Captivate 5.5 is all that I would need. My basic task is to take a PDF file and/or a MS word document and add interactive quiz questions to the document. I don't even need to record them to a database. I have been trying to learn what a bunch of these Adobe products are and what they do and don't do for over a week and finally I got some real help in this forum this morning.
I know there are performance loses if you don't specify variable types explicitly. Do ActionScript/Java developer in general prefer the use of the in classes or no?
public function hello():void { this.speaker.says("hello"); }
Is posible? Flex app detect word when mouse over on message in pdf file. Now have some project translate language with tooltip or pop-up when mouse over on it. I found some code can detect word (string) on TextField class but not in pdf.
I'm developing an interactive CD. I need to be able to allow the user to open Word and PDF files. I'm not sure how to do this. I've tried using getURL, but that doesn't work. I'm a bit saturated and can't think how I can do what I need.
I am working on a website, its a project, I built custom buttons and used there own AS3 to make them play on hover. There is one problem thou, in my main scene or timeline I created this function:
about_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){ var aboutURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about.swf"); }) contact_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){ var contactURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact.swf"); }) cat_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){ var galleryURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("catalogue.swf"); }) port_but.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){ var portURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("port.swf"); })
Ok but it had the navigatetoURL function but I took it out. Reason is because I want these buttons to load in a movieclip (mc_loader) as external swf files. I am not sure as is to linking these buttons to the loader movieclip.
I'm loading an external logo (.swf) into a movieclip. The user would actually select what logo to load from a list. After loading the selected logo into the empty movieclip, the user can than apply certain changes such as changing the logo colors, the size, the rotation and the position of the logo over a certain product.What I want to do is to expand on this by allowing the user to select whether they want the logo tiled across the product
I am developing iOS app in Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash CS5.5... It's basically a huge timeline of movie clips with entrance screen. What I want to do is somehow create an external AS or TXT file, in which I got few movie clips defined as visible/hidden. I want the movie itself to change those states of the movie clips in the external file when it reaches certain frames in the main timeline, so that the next time you open the app and its entrance screen, there are buttons (movie clips) made visible there which can link/bring you to the previously reached frame.
I am currently using an external Class file for an instance in my .fla project. It creates an instance of that specific class and has it carry out some functions.I want to access a MovieClip on the stage in the .fla file in the external Class file. How can I do this?For example, the Class file creates an instance of that class, and I want the x and y coordinates of that instance to be equal to that of let's say circle_mc. Now circle_mc is on the stage of the .fla file, and therefore cannot be accessed. How can I get around this?
I want to load my external SWF file using the following code in "Panel4_mc" instead of on stage. How can I do it" function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
[URL]I client want some thing like this. User will search a word and application searches that word in a opened page and highlight it. This is a Flash application and uses php at back-end to generate XML.
I am fairly new to as3 and would like loading a text file with about 1k words 1 word at a time. I would like to be able to increase or decrease the speed of this word appearing.
Instead of posting my entire files and such, I'll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome.My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder.On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled "inactive" and the other "active". Here's a sample of very similar code....
Code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
How do I access item1_mc? In reality I have 6 different clips and I desire to access much more than frame changes...what's the overall best way to be able to interact with an item placed on the stage via an external .as file that is not the document class?
