ActionScript 2.0 :: XML With HTML Not Extending Textbox?
Jul 12, 2010
So I have a quick question. I have an xml document that has a list of items. Some with links, some without (i have removed the links for this example as I am not allowed to post links here). This works fine until my list extends passed the textbox (scroller) that I am inserting them into, at which point the list simply disapears. I am not trying to get the box to grow in height, I have a scrollbar attached to it.its the second list that gives me the problems.Actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
I have a flash file, which's dimensions are 500 px by 500 px. That's how I want it. However, sometimes something happens in the flash movie, causing a movieclip to extend outside the dimensions (which I need it to be seen by the user). Im putting this swf into an html file. I definately know there is a way where those out-of-bound movieclips can appear (inside a browser), overlapping other html elements, but I forgot how. Well, setting the wmode parameter to transparent will cause the movie to become transparent, revealing whatever's underneath, but this doesn't solve my problem. I don't want my movieclips to look "cut" when they happen to pass across my bounds. Probably the DIV tag is related here. I know that the cheapest way to solve this is by setting the movie dimension to something like 999 by 999. But I dont want to do that!
Why won't it render html in the Text-box I have? I'm using actionscript to enter the data. I already checked that the html-render is set to true. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried caps and small, XHTML and HTML versions.
I am trying to use a dynamic text box with HTML tags (<b><i><u>). I've tried loads of methods without success:
1. 3 dynamic textboxes placed on the stage with each font variant (bold,italic,regular), with embedding enabled for each. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off. 2. 3 font symbols with linkage enabled in the library. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
The font is not a system font btw. I have tried point 1 with Verdana and it worked. So is it an issue with a non system font with HTMl tags?
I think this is almost impossible, or at least very difficult. The thing is: I wanted to make a guestbook on my site (inside flash) but my server doesn't allow me to use php. So the only other way (I think) is to use a remote script-host. So that's what I did, I found one on scripthost.com. It's a very simple one,it just changes a html-file everytime a new entry is entered. What I want to do now is to extract all the things that are in the html-file and put them in textboxes. Is this possible? I searched a little bit and I found that I could use the server side include tags to read a html-file to another html-file (inside a div) and then use javascript to read the div and send it to a textbox in flash.
i have an mc with a textbox which i'm loading with data from an external text file. the box is set to 'render as html' but the tags in the text file are being ignored.
(i've tried everything i can think of, including starting from scratch several times...)
is there something that i'm missing, or is flash just playing up?
I am trying to load html into a text box from a website. when i load to the text box, everything goes fine except that it is loaded as something that looks like this:
[Code].....
I just need to convert it to html. I understand a lot of the tags wont work the same way bc as2 doesnt accept them, but I can deal with those after. Here is my loader:
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
I have a problem: I'm trying to have a dynamic text box (htmlText) with a number of links (all dynamically generated themselves) within. I need some way that the html link can detect the user mousing over/off of it and fire off a function (to bring up a tooltip elsewhere on the interface, specifically). Is this at all possible in ActionScript 1.0?
I am trying to get a text file to display in a dynamic scrolling textbox as HTML. What do I need to put in my code so that the textbox displays it correctly and leaves out the HTML tags?
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 have 2 set of textbox, 1 set of the text box contain 6 textbox and the other set of text box contain 12 textbox. how do i make it like for the first set of textbox to compare with the second set of textbox? eg. 1textbox1.text = 2textbox1.text and the first set of textbox right, each of the 6 textbox have to compare with second set of textbox which is 12 textbox.
i am trying to do this After you type in textbox A (eg." HAHAHA")And when you pressed a button "submit_mc""HAHAHA" will appear in textbox B i know it involve strings , but i tried my best but i cant figure out
I am designing a web application in Flex 4 and currently facing an issue rendering advanced HTML tags and entities in Flex 4. All I want to do is basically render an HTML text coming to me something like the one given below:-
I have an asset management system which loads a bunch of external swfs, and when requested distributes copies of those swfs to other parts of an app (it creates instances of the classes to do this).Anyway, when I use these loaded swfs somewhere and then remove them Flash does its trick of leaving the sounds running (as they are triggered by timers).If they were Loader class items I could use .unloadAndStop() to shut them up and get them garbage collected, but they aren't of course.I thought I might be able to extend the Loader class and set the .content my self - which I have done by overiding the content getter in Loader. I was hoping I could then use unloadAndStop on that class but nothing happens. I've tried casting my fake Loader to a Loader as well and no joy.
I'm using AS2, and trying to use AS2's packages for the first time, so I can organize my .as files properly. I'm running into some problems though I've got some classes that extend MovieClip, and I've put the class names in the Linkage>Class fields. When I publish, though, I get the error: The class or interface 'ClassName' could not be loaded. anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I tried importing the classes on the main timeline, and even including the directories of those classes on the classpaths list, but no dice
this cursor follow works in a single frame on the main timeline with a stop action :
// kisses start and follow cursor addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, start_kisses); function start_kisses(event:Event) { staged_kiss_mc.x = stage.mouseX;
[code]....
How can this same function be called in various frames throughout the main timeline? For instance, say the above code is on frame one and the "staged_kiss_mc" is extended from frames 1 to 10. On all frames there is also a stop action (along with additional code, content, etc.)How can the function "start_kisses" be activated on each of the 10 frames in the same way it is on frame 1 ?Is it necessary to add a new Event Listener? Do new functions need to be coded for each frame, such as start_kisses1, start_kisses2, etc.? --Or can the same original function be reused?
I found this sentence while googling out for Flash help: "Add 3 frames to your timeline. Drop a TextField on your Stage & make sure it extends over all the 3 frames." I was not able to accompolish the second task of this. I added the frames, dropped a TextField on the first frame, but could not find a way to extend it over all the 3 frames.
I want to add a property to the MovieClip class. I just have a bunch of MovieClips that are placed on the stage by reading an XML file and creating lots of clips according to the information in them. Now, I need to know which MovieClips were created below previous clips, and I figure that the easiest way to do so would be by extending the MovieClip class and add an order property.I have some problems though: I don't know how to set or get this order property within the main clip, I don't know how to place this clip within my movie, and I don't know how to create them dynamically (do I just do something like var myNewObjectOfExtendedClass : myExtendedClassName = new myExtendedClassName?)
This is the code I have on my extended class, called Expando.as:
When I open a new Flash CS5 project, the timeline grid only goes out to 600 or so frames. I have a three minute audio track that I want to insert at frame 1, and at 24 fps, that means it should end around frame 7200. So what I want to do is to extend the grid out to 7200 frames - before I drag my audio clip in, or once I have it in. If I set keyframes at 1 and 5, say, and drag my audio track in at frame 1, it appears that it will play all the way through using the controller, but my timeline grid is still only 600 frames long, and if the next thing I want to do is something that happens at frame 6000... I still can't get there.
I made the transition to AS3 two years ago, but I still carry with me old AS2 habits. Could someone please help me understand how I extend a custom class correctly. I have the bad habit of putting most of my code in one .as file (the Document class), but I use a few custom classes now and then. What I'm tring to figure out is how I would extend a class of this type:
public class ClipDragger { private var _clip:MovieClip; public function ClipDragger(clip:MovieClip) { _clip = clip;
[code]....
For example I would like to add a MOUSE_MOVE listener, and also add actions to the drag function.
My current requirement: I have menubar with 3 different button types. Skin structure is simple: one label and two state graphics. So my base skin have label, and in overridden i want add two images. But flex docs states that overriding of skin is not preferred. I try override override public function addElementAt(element:IVisualElement, index:int):IVisualElement for adding new subcomponents to custom container sdk using it but my view is blank. Does skins are really not overridable? My current code:
<s:ButtonBar skinClass="MenuSkin" dataProvider="{content}" /> in MenuSkin: ... <fx:Component id="firstButton">
[code]....
and next 2 skins have repeated <s:Label/> part. As label should look the same, naturally i want extend base skin class but it is no possible form me. First problem: if i add image in mxml it overlaps label.
