I have designed a movieclip containing dynamically loaded text for ease of updating, however, when I roll over it (it is made to be a button), the text resets to the original text.[code]The reason I want this to work is so I can have the text glowing on rollover, but it doesn't work on frame 2.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to pass text from an input text in frame 1 to a dynamic text field in frame 10. Thus when the user enters text and clicks the submit button it takes them to frame 10 and shows them what they typed. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors. Here's the link:

If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?

a_modified_dog suggested, and was kind enough to provide working code in the thread, Assign text to dynamic text fields on different frames, using the "onChanged" event placing code in the main time line of both frames 1 and 2 of a Flash Actionscript 2 movie. The "onChanged" event has been designed apparently for input style text fields only - requiring the user to input text. The code example provided works well for that sequence. But my intended sequence of user events does not permit the user to input a text value. The "onChanged" event does not work with the following intended sequence of user actions:
(1) the user makes a selection from a scrolling list of items that appear within a movie clip (MC1) on frame 1. The list is comprised of a number of selectable buttons.
(2) When the user clicks a button (BTN1) contained in MC1, the onRelease event assigns a string value to a text box (TXT1) within a separate movie clip (MC2) on frame 1. (this is working well)
(3) the user then clicks a stand alone button (separateBtn) on frame 1 that invokes a "gotoAndStop" at frame 2. (no problem)
(4) The text (TXT1) from within the movie clip (MC2) on frame 1 needs to be assigned to a text box (TXT2) on the stage of frame 2. (BIG PROBLEM)
I've played with both dynamic text fields and input text fields. Using the "onChanged" event works well with input text fields IF the user actually enters text into the input text box. Using the intended sequence, a text value is being assigned to TXT1 in MC2 by a button "onRelease" event from within MC1. This same text value (TXT1) should also appear in the text box TXT2 on frame 2. I've tried both input and dynamic style text boxes for TXT1. Both work well for showing the assigned text string on frame 1. Both styles also, when advancing to frame 2, show "undefined" in the corresponding text box (TXT2) on frame 2. Neither input or dynamic style of text box seem to recognize the "onChange" event - from having no text when starting up to having text within TXT1 dynamically appear after the user makes their selection from the button (BTN1)event (onRelease) in MC1.I tried assigning the text in TXT1 on frame 1 to a variable (var_txt1) - in the main time line - and having TXT2 on frame 2 read and assign the variable to TXT2 (TXT2.text = var_txt1), scripting also on the main timeline of frame 2.. Again, all attempts result in "undefined" appearing in TXT2 instead of the variable value (var_txt1). Using 'trace" on frame 1 shows the correct value for the variable (var_txt1). When advancing to frame 2, "trace" shows "undefined".

This is what I would like to do:
I have a movie clip of a box resizing from small to big in 10 frames.I want text to appear only at the last frame.However, there are many different types of text I want to put in this box depending on user selection.
Therefore the text would be dynamic.
I want to control this in AS3.
I've created an instance of this movie clip and added to the stage via addChild() function.
I've tried adding a label to the movie clip but the text appears from the beginning to the end (frame 1 to frame 10).
I have a file with two frames.In the first frame i have an input textfield (naam_txt) a button (send_btn) and a dynamic text field (output_txt)In the second frame i only have the dynamic text field.So i want someone to type in their name and when the button is pushed, you go to the second frame and there is a welcome text in the dynamic text field.But i get Welkom undefined
This is the actionscript:
Code:
send_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop (2);
output_txt.text = "Welkom " + naam_txt.text;

I have a maths-based movie on which a number of points are allocated depending on the answers given to a series of multiple choice questions.
At the end of it, a person will score somewhere between 1 and 10 points depending on the answers they gave.
I have got to the stage where the system keeps track of the cumulative score, and at the conclusion, I have a text field on stage, which has an instance name of "results". When the person enters the frame, the results field displays the total number of points scored.
That is ok, but what I actually would like to happen is that the movie jumps to a different frame based on that figure, so that if they score 2, it would take them to the frame labelled "two" and if they score 9, it takes them to frame "nine"
Is there a way of effectively saying:
On frame enter
if results.text = 1 go to "one";
if results.text = 2 go to "two"
etc etc
I'm guessing that I need to use the:
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
};
how to describe the bit in the middle...?
I have text frame with scrolling bar on right which is set as "Input Text".Is it possible to include images into same text frame.If I run this script:scroller.htmlText = "<img src='portrait.jpg'>";Image shows but my previously entered text disappears.Also is it possible to prevent text entering or deleting while movie is running?Basically I created text with a scroller i need to prevent it from modifying "entering/deleting"text on runtime plus I need to populate it with images!
