ActionScript 2.0 :: Using HTML Or TXT For External Text Files
Jun 12, 2006
I am having a couple of issues with dynamic text. I am loading fairly simple text documents, but am ending up with some font oddness. For example, I am using plain Arial in the CSS but am ending up with words running together. In the word "Oxygen" the "Oxy" letter spacing is really tight. Do I have something odd in the CSS? Here it is:
[Code]...
Pretty straightforward so I can't figure out why things look bad. Would embedding the font, even if it's arial, make any difference? How does that work in the code? I tried using the embedFonts = true; but that didn't seem to really do anything. So I'm thinking that perhaps I should be loading HTML or something for these external text files. These aren't huge, but several of them contain listings, headline, main body copy, sub head - the typical sort of thing on would find in a text file. Is there a good primer out there as to what works with CSS and text files or different ways of getting text files into Flash?

I have a very basic flash document, with a dynamic text field called myText, and a script to load an external html-file into that field. The script is from a tutorial somewhere, so I'm not 100% sure it's optimal, but it works. What I want to do is modify this code so that a clicking a button in this document will switch the input file from demo.html to another HTML-file, say demo2.html.
var url:String = "demo.html";
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I have an external file highscores.txt, which my game opens. It finds the 3 variables in it and compares them to the score that the user got and determines if they beat it or not. If they beat the high score, I want it to re-write the variables in the file, which are "name", "seconds", and "minutes". Here is how I open the file and get the data.
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("highscore.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
how I can write in the file using flash?

I am fairly new to Flash 5, I have been using Swish for about 1.5 years. I want to advance to a new level though. I have asked this question at others boards, and haven't yet got a detailed enough answer for me to understand it and work it. Either that, or I am making just a tiny error. If anyone could explain in detail how to show a .txt file inside a flash OR give me a link to a detailed tutorial then that would be great.

I am having trouble trying to use actionscript to load different files when different values are changed. I am currently using a tilelist and they have different values so the code is something like this: (the title is just there, non-related)
if (startTileList.selectedItem.value == 1)
{
//textFile1 load here[code].........
So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.

A user, who is not familiar with html, wants to do very simple text formatting (font color, size, decoration) in external txt files that are to be loaded into Flash CS4 dynamic text fields. I know, some html tags can be used in txt files but the text becomes quite unclear. How is this issue usually coped with? Must the user learn a bit of html and use it or is there any other option?

When a user clicks on a link in the HTML page I want to place a SWF on the user's current page and load HTML content into the SWF (in a textArea). The HTML content comes from one of many HTML files sitting in a folder on the server, depending on the link that was clicked.
So obviously the link must contain the name of the desired HTML file. How can I take the contents of that file and send it to a SWF?

I'm using LoadVars to load an external file that has one variable containing an array with a few sub arrays.
Code:
var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
externalData.onLoad = function() {
var sectArray:Array = externalData.sectArray;
};
externalData.load("portfolio.txt");
But every time I try to get one of the values I get "undefined". is there another way?

So I have a dynamic text field that is loading an external .txt file with html coding in it.I can get the text to load and display properly, however I now want to make a custom scrollbar and I have no clue how to even get it to work.I've tried a few things and just can't figure it out. I want to make a custom one instead of using the component one. It doesn't even have to be a traditional scrollbar, I would much rather just use an up and down arrows. In the past I've just used buttons and placed AS directly onto them.The code that is loading the text into the text box is: (I don't know if that will help at all but I'm posting it anyways)[code]
