had a problem where writing to a textbox with .text simply doesn't work?I am addressing the textbox with the right name and using .text like so.tbox.text = "blah blah blah"but it doesn't change from the text it has at design time.It is set to dynamic text and for the system font _sans.I don't recall ever having this problem with as2 before.
View 9 RepliesI have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I am working on a survey project where I want a user's answers to get logged to a text file. I used the code from this post to make a php script in an attempt to do this: [URL]
I modified it as follows:

var urlR:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "filewriter.php" );
var urlVar:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

When I run my movie, it does not invoke the PHP script. why it is not working? Are there alternative methods to logging this data to a text file?
I'm trying to find a way to write to a text file from as2. I don't want to use any php or asp because my app needs to run without an internet connection. As3 has FileReference.save() and judging by the amount of searching I've done, as2 doesn't have that simple of a solution. Does anyone have a way even if its hacky to write to a txt file from as2?

I want to save some values from a variable and reload that values when i run flash again.
Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to write to a text document on the users system in order to store variables and/ or XML nodes with attributes.
These documents would, in theory, allow the Flash movie to remember it's states so when a user returns to the site, or tries to save what they had open, the text file could be used to initialize and display the "saved" state.
Wondering if anyone knows any resources for this or even if anyone out there has done something like this. Seems like it should be able to but may'be not.

Now My task is read real time file and send xArray and yArray to another function but I don't know how can I code it.
I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
}
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:

I have a textbox (actually, quite a few, I am working with lots of actionscripting/manipulating text), and it seems like the more text that's in the textboxes, the slower flash processes things. I understand like if I had 2 billion characters or something, but were talking a major slowdown between a difference of 300 and 800 words. I would think that flash should be able to handle that. Some are htmlText boxes, and so this added 'hidden' html tags creates lots of slowdown as well. I have cleared variables after using them, and it has helped somewhat, but not very noticably.
