ActionScript 2.0 :: XML And Flash - No Link Text Showed Up?
Sep 27, 2006
I'm messin around with a premade Photogallery that uses external XML file to populate the flash gallery. Everything works great but I wanted to manipulate it alittle so I can add active links.Here are my tests:
Test1
I changed all instances of .text to .htmlText
published: (flashplayer 7 actionscript 2) = Everything still worked fine
Test2
I changed all instances of .text to .htmlText and added <a href> to xml file.
published: (flashplayer 7 actionscript 2) = Everything still worked fine but no link text showed up.
Test3: I changed all instances of .text to .htmlText and added <a href> to xml file and converted txtbox to "render as html"
published: (flashplayer 7 actionscript 2) = No text showed up at all.Here is the basic XML file:
-------xml page----------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

I'm using:this.flipQ1One.visible = false; and this.flipQ1One.visible = true; to hide and show a movie clip, the problem is that the movie clip is an object that flips then stops and by the time is shown (when the condition is complied) the flip had already happen while hide so you don't see it.What I need is that the movie clip starts playing at the moment the "visible" becomes true not before.

I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page: [URL]
Here is an example of what the scrolling SWF text box will be like: [URL]

so i got my page set up pretty much, to sumarize its mostly 3 divs. one with a flsh banner, one with a flash menu, and the other is the content div, with html in it. you click on a link in the flash menu and it loads one of six different pages. but i came to realize that every page has the same banner and menu in it. it would be nice not to have to reload them every time. is there a way to just load different html in the content div by clicking something in the menu?

Is it possible in Flash to set a hyperlink (in a textField), and then have that link run a function within Flash (not Javascript)?I know one can easily launch a URL via a text link, or even run a Javascript function, but what about a function in Flash?

I am trying to make a text link within a scroll box jump to another frame within the same Flash file. Is this possible without having to make a button or movie clip? For some reason if I insert an object like a movie clip or button in the scroll box, it appears in a different area when I publish the file so I can't use that option for links.
I need to be able to highlight the text and then program it to jump to another frame label.

I am working on a press section of a site and was wondering if this was possible? I have a texfield that loads in html formatted text for a notepad file. I have done this lots of times and put <a href=blah> on certain words within notepad to make them links to other pages.
For this one i would like to have the textfield with links, but when the user clicks a link, i want it to trigger something in flash (i.e. click here for more info sending a variable to my main as script that will bring up some other text etc).
if so how would i go about writing the link inside notepad? I'm thinking that i just need to know the code for combining the text links with something in flash as.

I am doing a Flash header where button text and links has to be easily configured by the owner, so i'm thinking the smartest way is to load button text + link from an xml file.There will be 7 horizontal buttons. The name of the button will be loaded into a dynamic textfield i guess, but what about the link?Im fairly sure it's possible to make an animated button and load an html link into it's Actionscript... but how?My XML would look like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><buttonsDanish>
<forside name= "Forside" url= "http://www.whatever.biz" />

1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.

I dowloaded and played with the following scroller on this site... [URL] I see where the text is under Actions but I'm wondering if I can input hyperlinks and email links as well or will I only be able to use this with plain text. If formatting and links are allowed, how can I input the text to show as a link. Sorry, I don't know much about flash and just trying to make a simple text box with scrolling capability that will allow hyperlinks, bold, etc...

I have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.

I'm having a little trouble using URL links in text. If I select a part of the text and give it a URL link (I'm using mailto: links here), strange things are happening to all the text in that text box at runtime in some cases the leading changes, other times some or all of the text disappears. But it only happens at runtime, so I have no way of knowing if or how to compensate. And simply removing the offending link or linked text doesn't fix the problem once the link has been created the only way to fix it is to create a new text box with no links.

I have created a small application which takes it's information from an xml file and displayes it in a news ticker which is a flash Flash AS2 application. tell me the correct way to format the link tag in the xml if there is a standard when wanting to state a target for the link? The xml file currently looks like:
<newsTicker>
<item>
<header>Test Message 1</header>[code]....
So what I want to do is to be able to open the link in a taget=_blank window however adding that to the end of the url does not currently work.I have added a comma and also tried using a space, space and encompassing in quotes but none are working.

I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?

I play around with templates and try to change them. A friend of mine has this banner and I am stumped on it. All it is, is making text into links. I have never had a problem with that before. I have CS4 but save the file as CS3. Because that is what he has. What my problem is the text at the upper right. Where there is 3 lines of text. I have been trying to add a link to each one and it is not working. In the actions script, this is what is says. I know I need to put the get(url) in there but everytime I do it, it is not correct. I am a n00b, I admit it.[URL]

I am wondering how to "link" any sort of text file (.txt or .doc) to a dynamic text box where once the swf file is played the text shows up. In all of the examples I have seen on here you have had to hit a button to load the info once the swf is loaded.

For a portfolio site, I have descriptive blurbs dynamically loaded from an external text file. In those blurbs is an option to "launch the site", which works great. Flash looks at:
<a href="http://www.mySite.com/" target="_blank"><u>Launch Site</u></a>
and understands the html.However, in another section I'm trying to "launch" a swf into a regular old Flash level or MC (not an html window).How would I write that kind of link into the blurb?
