ActionScript 2.0 :: Updating Text And Images On Flash Site By XML?
Jan 12, 2007
Basically I have a photography site that I update regularly with client images and new information, but me and flash doesn't exactly get on! I bought a flash template and have spent about a month fiddling about and slowly learning how flash works, and my knowledge of flash (non-existant) has shot up dramatically, but there are still things that baffle me. Is there any way of having an area on the page which looks at an XML for the information - text in some cases and photographs in another? How to layout the xml.

Is there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.

I created a text area on my stage using the text tool, then converted it to a MovieClip symbol. I called it ScoreLabel and I clicked "Export for ActionScript". I named the instance of the text area scoreLabel. However, when I do this in my code:
scoreLabel.text = this.score;
it doesn't change. That line is in my Main.as file, which is the document class. How can I change the text shown in this text area using ActionScript? Maybe I need to import a library?

This may sound simple but it's not at all from what I can tell. Hell it may be impossible but I might as well ask...Anyways, what I'm trying to ask for is a way to update the images embedded in an FLA somehow without having to manually re-import each individual file every time they get changed on the hard drive. We have a massive project with a large amount of FLA files, and having to manually re-import all of the images every time new things are committed to the repository is going to get rediculous very fast.

I would like to make a site that is easy to update video and text. Is there a way to insert a blog into a fully flash site? I don't know if there is a blog that's made in flash or something like that. I'd like the video and text to be easier to update than xml. HTML blogs are really convenient, but I'd like some flash to make it more dynamic and more of a full website, than just a blog.

I have slide text (or rolling news) on our news page in flash, it loads data from simple xml file. The problem is caching of data in every browser. It has to be flash news, and the time reader can see a new post is counted in hours, days.how to update the text when page reloads, or better - just after change in xml, without need of reloading?

In it are about 20 thumbnails that, when clicked, open up into large ~750x600 images. The images contain some text on them. In Flash itself, the images open up properly and look great. But when the site is placed on the web (and the html code below is used), the images are resized to smaller, poorer quality and the text (on the images) is practically unreadable. I have tried the images as jpegs and pngs - both look crappy on the web.
I use the following html code to make the site fit peoples' various browser window sizes. This is what is causing my problem, because when I don't use this html code the images look fine. But, I NEED to use this code in order for the site to fit various browser windows.
HTML Code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" id="index.swf">
[Code]....
So how can I make my site fit the browser window WITHOUT ruining my images in the process? How can I 1) keep the image sizes constant, or 2) let the images resize along with the rest of the site, but keep them in good quality?

Heres a direct link to the swf. (Flash Player 9 Req) [URL] Note that it loads random images to the right.
Now, when I embed this same swf into the actual site: [URL]
I don't understand
I've taken out the new javascript embed code, just to make sure that wasn't messing things around, but to no avail.
[Code].....
If I hard code the php file with the values listed above, everything works perfectly. But I'm using a php script that checks the directory for images, then provides that output.

So there are these two heads on one slide (dragRec), each has a normal state, roll over, and drag. Endpoint prints to a textbox on drag that displays a relative position, and threshold is set to show the percentage between the left end of the slider and Endpoint. When you drag Endpoint its text updates, however when threshold is moved no text appears.[code]...

I've made a website in Flash, it's the 1st time I've made a site with dynamic loading text.The text loads, that is fine, however, when I update the .txt file, the webpage does not update until I delete my internet history. This obviously no use as I can't expect returning visitors to delete their cache every time they visit.

The code checks out and is working great but I just added a dumbed down version for referenceWhat is happening is:I am creatingar less:mcLessons = new mcLessons();addChild(less);mcLessons is a Movieclip I created and is located in my library with as3 linkage to a script (the one below).In the Library the textfield reads "lesson 1" and is supposed to change to "Basic Neccesaties(Part 1)" once loadedWhen it is loaded the text does not change. When I clip on a textfeild that has an eventListener, all the text is added.I trace the text field (before any textfield is clicked) and it reads "BasicNeccesaties(Part 1)" but on stage is still "lesson 1".
package com.afiadesign{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have some nested movie clips, with a dynamic text object at the end of the chain - if I don't update the the text in the dynamic text field, then it displays fine, however if I set the text at anytime through actionscript, the text disappears. I have tried all sorts of embedding/not embedding font - combinations, but nothing works.Here is a code snippet:
Code:
// this one works just fine...
testing_txt.text = "This is some dynamic text!";[code]....
I am definitely setting the correct field in this long list of objects, but for some reason the text in the main_menu_mc... object isn't updating. Interestingly, the text associated with the testing_txt object updates just fine.Below is a small screen shot of the display while running the swf... menu_item8 is obviously the one without any text...

I have a couple of text fields in my Flash movie that are constantly updated with text from an xml document. The xml document is updated through an interface on a seperate swf. It's based on a flash guestbook I found and have hacked apart, and everything works fine in theory... My main worry is that over the course of a day it loaded in the text 170,000 times: 30 times a second which is a little excessive and is playing havoc with my web stats. I've cut this down to once every 10 seconds but I'm still thinking I should use a better method, would it be possible to test for changes before I load in new text, or am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
var currPage = 0;
var showAmount = 1;// set this to the amount of entries you want to view at a time
// **** Load XML ****************************
myXML = new XML();

I've created a flash banner which loads 3 images. Each image is loaded using a Loader object. Each Loader object has an event listener which points to the same function. In this function I compute the loaded/total bytes, then I update a dynamic TextField.
The problem is that the TextField doesn't change its text only when all the images are loaded, which means at 100%. I used a trace for percent and it works fine. From what I've read until now, it seems that this can be caused by a lock-up of the UI?
The function:
Code:
function updatePreloader(e:ProgressEvent):void {
if (LoaderInfo(e.target).loader == imageLoaders[0]) {
loadedBytes1 = e.bytesLoaded;

I have a dynamic text box that follow the mouse, giving information on rollover.
Code:
on (press, release, rollOver, dragOver) {
_root.mouse.info = "Coins per second: "+_root.cps1+newline+"Coins collected: "+_root.coins1;
}
_root.cps1 changes very quickly (+3 per second), the text box only re-updates (changes the value) everytime I roll in / out, how can I make it constantly update.

Yet again, I have another simple problem. I have an input text field and a movie clip that contains a dynamic text field. The dynamic text field updates when the user types. Simple enough. However, when I add a frame to my main timeline and cut/past my mc on it, the dynamic text field doesn't update. Here is my simple .fla file showing what I'm trying to do.

on my onEnterFrame function, I just want to keep updating a Dynamic Text Box location. It's giving me more trouble than I anticipated, and the solution is probably very easy. I have spent 30 minutes (give or take) on trying to figure it out, but to no avail. This is what I have at onEnterFrame:
ActionScript Code:
_root.HPnum._y += _y - 60;
_root.HPnum._x = _x + 20;
Fairly simple, it's in the as code file that I want it to track. What happens is, it does get moved, but I cannot see it anywhere.

I'm doing an assignment for university where I have to draw a chart having nodes (circles), each node having a number on it (text field)... ie the first node drawn would have "1" in it, the second "2" and so on... then these nodes will be connected to each other using drawn lines .... I'm using object oriented programming (my first try at OOP with Flash) and have an array which stores the details of nodes....
my problem is that when i put the first node the number in it is "1" ok, but as soon as i put the second node the numbers in both nodes turn to "2" and then "3" when the third node is drawn... which results in a whole mess!!! i don't know what can i do with the variables so as not to have the text fields updated everytime but only create the new node.
I think that the problem might be with the attachMovie part, but i have no idea.
I hope that this is clear enough! if it's not just ask me and i'll explain better. anyway the source file is attached (just click to add a node). I really hope that you can help me, or at least help me find a way how to figure it out.

I've got these dynamic text fields that have their autosize and multiline set to true. I assign a width when I create the textfields, but that doesn't seem to have an effect. Using an interval, i cycle through an array that provides strings to populate the text fields.
The textfields seem to take the width of the first strings that populate them, and then stay that size, regardless of the amount of text in each new string.[code]...

I've got this code that creates a dynamic textfield, converts 'score' to a string, displays string, and updates the value of score. Well, I've traced it and the value of score updates, but the value displayed in the text box stays the same. How do I get the value in the textbox to update/change.
Code:
var scoreString:String = String(score);
var scoreNumber:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(scoreNumber);
scoreNumber.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;

someone without having to take the route of Flash? Like I have a text file in notepad, or Word and the text will automatically appear in the swf file?
