nothing displays. The image and flash document are at the same level, so that is why I am using a relative link. Do I need to use a full (absolute) link to the image?
I am trying to pull a random string from my xml into a dynamic text field in Flash. In this example, the first text field should bring in a random fruit (Apple, Pear or Orange). Im stuck as to which way I should randomly do this. This is my code right now in my movieclip:
im trying to pull attributes from my xml file for use in a dynamic text field but cant seem to get the actionscript dialed in properly. i have a php script which parses the data as attributes rather than nodes...so my actionscript must use these attributes!
Trying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.
The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:
I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.
I'm trying to use a dynamic text field to pull in html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But the bullets dont take on the color assigned to the field. I've tried putting it in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and neither work. Can someone help me. This should be a simple fix, but I can't find it... I just want my text and bullets to both be white.
Simple code below. Using html text inside the flash document and having a dynamic field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and bullets green, but it doesn't work, only text turns green
this.txt.html = true; var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.color = 0x00FF00; // hex value for green this.txt.htmlText = "<P> This is the first paragraph</P><BR><UL><LI>Bullet 1</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 2</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 3</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 4</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 5</LI></UL>";this.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
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.
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
I'm trying to load some html into a dynamic text field. All the hints I've found online are in AS2 and use the LoadVars function which is no longer a part of AS3. convert this to AS3?
I'm able to use a .txt file with basic html elements inside to display correctly. But I now have a structured document done in ms word. If I copy the html and try to save as a .txt file it will only allow to be saved as .rtfis there a way to preserve all the font, breaks and styles from a doc saved in .rtf or can I do this in a different way.
I currently have a dynamic text box that pulls from an external text file, but I want to spiff it up a little bit: I want the text box to include a series of links that go to another frame, and with another dynamic text box that pulls up the corresponding story.Basically, I want the main "news" page to be an updateable archive of links to the "news story" pages. This all, however, has to be in Flash, as the website I'm working on it one .swf movie. I am very inexperienced in working with CS4/Actionscript and even less experienced in HTML
I'm trying to load some html into a dynamic text field. All the hints I've found online are in AS2 and use the LoadVars function which is no longer a part of AS3.
myLoadVars = new LoadVars(); myLoadVars.onLoad = function() { // the data is loaded in the myLoadVars object as a property of the object myText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata; } myLoadVars.load("myHTML.html");
I am dinamically loading and external text from a text file (data.txt) into a text field in flash. That text field reads the external string as html text so I can format the text (face, color, etc) in the text field externally. Easy huh? The problem is that for some reason flash doesn't detect html entities. Example: If flash encounters an ampersand in that external text it doesn't load the rest of the text. If I use the html entity for that character (that is &) it doesn't work either. why all the html tags are recognized but not the entities?
I 'm trying to make it so an image will scroll with a specific line of text in a text field. I know that using delta of the scrollEvent will give me direction but everytime i try to increment and decrement the y value of the image the image doesn't follow the line of text perfectly it tends to "crawl" if you will.
I am trying to make a web page similar to the link below...where when a customer types in the form text field, and simultaneously, the text will preview in another area of the webpage over and image. See example when you create a label[URL]

Simple XML import with text and an html link and an image. For some reason the html tags are rendering as text, not html in the dynamic text field. I have looked at countless posts and tuts From all I've read I am doing things right, but obviously I am not. I must be missing something.ake a look at the attached code and explain where I am going wrong.XML File
to use string function splice etc. to replace tags with the one which text fields can understand but is it too complex and processing over head is there that reduces the efficiency but i have max control to do changes what i needed. parsing the html to xml and then use this as the text input to text field what about the efficiency and control need to know about from this question. regular expressions .

I cannot seem to get a horizontal rule to appear in either html or css.Here is my as3 code. I am briniging in a RSS feed and displaying nodes in a Dynamic Text field. It is working very well but I cannot get the Horizontal Rule to work...
ActionScript Code: var myText:String = "<p>"+firstheadtext+"</p>" +"<span class='myTextStyle1'>"+firstbodytext+"</span><br/>"
[code]....
This is not the whole code. I have omitted the RSS loader and the CSS loader and the Text field.
What's the best way to restrict the user from entering html entities in a text input box.I want to allow then to enter stuff like dollar signs, pound signs and spaces but anything such as
ActionScript Code: <> & ' / "
should be disallowed.Can I use the textfield restrict property or is that too complicated? Should I just parse what the user has entered them strip it out after?
I have an input field in which I am sending the text out of flash and up to my server. I wanted to read the input field text then apply html tags around it. Unfortunately, my technique is not working correctly as it does not read the input field but it does change the format. I think I am escaping it incorrectly [code]...
I'm using loadVars to import text from a text file and then put it into a dynamic text field - rendered in HTML. There is an extra space in the first line of text for some reason. I've checked the dynamic text field and theres no spaces or returns in it - its empty before putting the text into it.
I cannot get the text field to accept HTML coding when I'm loading the text in. I have the Render Text as HTML (<>) button checked but still nothing happens.[code]

Issue: dynamic textfield created at runtime with html text doesn't display bold and italics.
Having the Font symbol in my library with the linkage name "Avenir" :
[Code]...
The textfield totally ignores the bold html tag. The right font is displayed but the html tags are ignored. So if I want one text field to be able to dynamically display bold and italics (html text) using a Font Face in my library...how do I do it? What am I missing?
