ActionScript 2.0 :: Writing To Textbox With .text?
Feb 22, 2012
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.
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 urlLDR:URLLoader=new URLLoader(); var urlR:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "filewriter.php" ); var urlVar:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[Code]....
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 have a dynamic text in my scene has an instance name "txtScore" , and i want to write something in it from my document class ?i tried this but it didn't work
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.
Is there a way where I can write to a text file from flash using Actionscript? I want to save some values from a variable and reload that values when i run flash again.

Is there a way to do file reading and writing in flash, like using actionscript 2.0? Just like how we do it in C++. Like read variables or a string from a .txt file and write in it.
This could seem like a real easy noob question but I am trying to write a variable 'gcouter' to my dynamic textfield. I am converting it to a string but still nothing appears in the textfield. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Could someone please check out my code and point out the "blindingly obvious: that I do not see right now???
BTW I have not externalised my script/classes as its been a while since i did this and I'm still thinking timelines like AS2 so please forgive that part. The project timeline is pretty short and I wasted alot of time trying to get it to work with as files and document classes. Here is the code (it's for a simple click to spot game and gcounter purpose should be obvious):
I've got a dynamic text box which imports it's content from an xml file.I now need to create an effect so it looks like that text is being written. There are many ways of doing this with static text I know but the question is: is it possible to create the effect with dynamic text?
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() {
I have a simple mc which loads in a textfile consisting of a header and body. After editing, the file is overwritten and saved. All this works fine, only problem is, as soon as the "save file" is finished, and i reload it using one of the buttons, it doesnt get refreshed with the new data.[code]
how To display the text inputted in input text box simultaneously in another text box? one is input text box for typing another shows the text being typed in the input txt box.
I am trying to write code that takes my text in my text fields and when the submit is pressed, everything typed gets sent to my e-mail address.Also I can't figure out where to put the digits and the dind text in the code.[code]
I'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
I have a simple form in Flash. I need to write the data from the input text fields to a local text file. I need the text file to append after each submission of the form to include all entries. Sounds simple?
I have really no idea how to do this, but i have a textbox and a button.When this button is clicked, i want it to add "<b>" before the currently selected text in the textbox. How would i go by this?
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.
