ActionScript 2.0 :: Assign An 'Instance Name' To A Dynamic Textfield' Using The Flashplayer5 Export Settings?
Jun 22, 2004
Is there a way to assign an 'Instance Name' to a dynamic Textfield' using the flashplayer5 export settings? Export gives me this error message : WARNING: This movie uses features that are not supported in the Flash 5 player Symbol=uitelgMc, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Flash MX Text Field Instance Name Is there a workaround since I have to keep the movie fp5 compatible and I want to use the XML object to load text into the textfileds.

I'm trying to give a dynamic textfield a value, actually I have 10 dynamic textfields that are named like this: mytextfield1, mytextfield2 etc.
Code:
for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
this["mytextfield"+i].text = myvariable[i];
}
This doesn't work.

I have two text fields on main stage, manualy created. So I`m trying to assign them to one class and then to manipulate with their content:
In my fla I have:
ActionScript Code:
var myWinnings:Number = 1111;
var myCoins:Number = 1111;
[Code].....
I just need to assign some value to my TextField. How do I do that?
The thing is, I didn`t create textfield on the run, and I don`t know how to instance it so I can access to it from my class.

I have a library object (SomethingMC) which extends a custom class (Something). Something, in turn, extends MovieClip.If adding SomethingMC to the stage within Flash CS3 IDE, is it possible for it's super class (Something) to assign an instance name from a class constant (Something.THE_CONSTANT)?
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].....
The above does not work. It throws Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified. if the instance is assigned a name in the IDE, and it just doesn't work if no name is assigned in the IDE.

I created a button (button symbol), inside this button symbol there is a vector shape which will change colours in mouse over and a dynamic text field. i want to use this button symbol in more than one locations in my stage. so i need to change the label of these instances (by changing dynamic text ). but i can't access the dynamic text in as3 using following code,
btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "button label"
this code is working fine for a movie clip symbol but not for a button symbol.

When exporting, you get the little popup window which asks which actionscript version to use and such. There is also a option to reduce JPEG quality, which I really need in order for my filesize to be reduced.However, when I try reducing and saving, the file has the exact same size as my old uncompressed version, and it even looks the same when played.

what are the best settings to export .mov file? I have 1280x720 movie and I can export it no problem but sometimes it skips or gets stuck when I play it. I'm not sure if it's my video card or the actual file. I was using the H.264 setting and compressor quality best.

this is for a loader on an already created flash. Which I am updating. All I am doing is changing a picture that has no coding with it, and changing the publish settings. The publish setting for the original was set for flash player 5, however I need it set to flash player 8. After I change these settings and export the movie to a .swf, I get the errors.Has the action script changed that much from flash 5 to flash 8?

I'm on a macbook pro, osx 10.6, using CS4 Web Premium. I used to have an external monitor hooked up which had much higher resolution, so when using Adobe Media Encoder I'd click the Settings button on a video to get the Export Settings window, then stretched the Export Settings window to be the size of my external monitor. Now, I'm just using my laptop, and the export settings window does not have the resize buttons at top left to adjust it back to the size of my laptop, and the bottom third of the export settings window is getting cut off so I can't see the cancel/ok buttons etc.
I've tried re-installing media encoder (via reinstalling flash using the CDs) to try to 'reset' the window sizes, didn't fix the problem. If anyone knows of any other preferences or something I could delete to fix this,

How do you edit the flash export settings so when its exported you can disable Play, Loop, and other stuff like some shockwave and flash animations?
Also how do they make a full screen ad, sometimes seen on yahoo.com, with flash, but everything else is transperent cept for an object.. e.g. a car driving across the screen and you can still see everything around it! Thats really kewl hehe

Is there a way to assign actions to a instance before its on screen. Like to give you an example I have a box symbol instance named "box_mc" and I would like to place the actions on the first frame of the movie and have the box show up on on like the third frame of the movie. This is all done with AS3 by the way.
PHP Code:
box_mc.alpha = 0.50;
The action script is really just to visually know that the box is getting the info passed along to it. But I keep getting this error message when I publish my movie:
Quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at remote_as_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Now as error messages go that one is pretty straight forward. Looking for box_mc and I can't find it.
Now the simple answer it if you want the box to show up on frame 3 then place the actionscript on frame 3 and it will work.
But this isn't really about getting the box at 50% alpha its more about know how to assign actions to elements that aren't on the screen yet.
Is there a way to do that like place all your actions on frame one and then assign them remotely to the instances thought out the movie from there?

how to control dynamically created clips... What I've got is a series of objects on the stage, that have been created using an external xml file. here's the code for this...
Code: Select allfor each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem) {
code for setting the clips on the stage, positioning them, etc, } But what that doesn't do is give each clip an individual instance name, so I've no way of controlling them on the stage? I presume I need to create a variable and then loop through the MenuItem xml assigning a unique instance as it goes through it?

The movie I'm creating will have many movie clips on each frame and each will have a mouseover tooltip.I have the code set so that I can mouseover a defined movie clip and I properly get the tooltip.[code]This works, where n1 is the instanced name of the movie clip.What I want is to be able to define a variable "whichNav" that will dynamically change to a movie clip instanced name when I mouse over that movie clip, then I can replace "n1" in the above code with "whichNav" and not have to remake the above code for every movie clip in the frame.For example, I could have movie clips instanced as n1, n2, n3, n4... ect. I want a variable that will track which movie clip I have my mouse over, and input that variable into the above code to create the tool tip for each movie clip.

What I'm trying to do is dynamically assign instance names to movie clips placed on the stage based on their position on the stage. Say if one had an _x value of 1, i would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip1" and if another had the _x value of 599, I would want to assign that clip the instance name of "clip599". Logically, I would think it would work like this (placed on each individual movie clip):

I'll start by saying that I'm in the process of learning actionscript. That said, I'm wanting to play two videos with actionscript. I went through a tutorial and using a pre-built flash player I used the following script

Which worked fine. That said, that was just a test. We are wanting to use the F4 Player. I opened up the player and looked at the actionscript (which is below). I had some trouble, so I posted on here and this was my response..

Actually I am working in an image scroller project. It was working perfectly. But the client asked to do some updations. First of all please download the file that I have atached, which is a screen shot of user control page for image scroller. There is an user control page for image scroller. You can see many options there. In user control, scroller is specified as marquee scroller. There is an option, Speed of scroller, which denotes how quickly the image should scroll. The unit of this field is seconds. Because we are giving seconds in that field. A single image should move out of the stage with in the specified seconds in "speed of scroller" field.
var UnitDistPerSec:Number = Number(TransSpeed)*10; where "TransSpeed" denotes the speed we are given in the user control page. var FPS = 100; var ScrlConst = UnitDistPerSec/FPS;

I'm having a little trouble with my publish settings setup.Let's say that I have a file called MyFirstAnim.fla under the folder AnimSource.Then, I set the swf publish path to ../AnimFinal/MyFirstAnim.swf, and everything is great.Now, I need another file almost identical the first one, so I copy MyFirstAnim.fla and rename it to MySecondAnim.fla.hen I publish the file my MyFirstAnim.swf (under the folder AnimFinal) got overridden.So, I removed the swf part of the publish setting, leaving just the relative path (../AnimFinal/).
Am I smart or not?

I'm trying to pass on to my swf file the size of the document using javascript, flashvars, and swfobject. I've embedded my flash file using swfobject and used the generator that swfobject provides to declare the two flashvars. My index.html file looks like this:

flashv1 and flashv2 are the instance names of two dynamic text fields on the stage. For some reason, and I have been messing around with this all afternoon, I just cant get the flashVars to be retrieved by my code and be passed on to the text fields.

I have a 3d wall and I'm passing images and linking through xml. Now I have added the description, but it just displays in the middle. I don't know how to align it. On mouse over, the description of that photo should display there itself, but it is not displaying in the middle (for all the photos). Instead of displaying on the each photos when the mouseover, it displays in one place.

Code:
var name1:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(name1);
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("XML/ImagesData01.xml");
