having problems setting the .text property on a textfield that is on a button symbol..
Code:
btn_top.txt_1a.text = "hi";
I copied the textfield on put it straight on the stage and doing this I was able to set the .text property, so I know that the other properties of it are correct - dynamic etc.
btn_top is the instance name of the button.
In Mac OS X, Safari 4.0.2 browser, the text field contents are scrollable. How to stop this scrolling property of text field?
I have explicitly mentioned its wi
For example. I have a particle system with a set number of particles active on the screen at any time "numOfParticles". I am trying to be able to change "numOfParticles" to define itself based on whatever number you input in the input_txt field. So far I am able to display the number of particles into the input text box:
Code:
input_txt.text = numOfParticles.toString();
Now I want to be able to change that value based on user preference.
So far I have:
Code:
function changeNumber(event:Event):void{
numOfParticles = input_txt;
}
change_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeNumber);
But it's not working. I don't think I have the proper identifiers, because I know I'm supposed to attribute the input text field as a ":Number" somehow...
I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.
I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
when it comes to flash but managed to learn enough this past week to get a simple website up (getting laid off so scrambling to get portfolio online!). I have an upload test at lisedupuis.net. In my work section I have a bunch of thumbnails (buttons) for all of the video. Basically, I want to add a text field under the video player which will contain a movie clip name. I want to set it up so that when you mouse over the thumbnails the text changes to the correct movie clip name. I thought maybe creating an event listener might work but can't seem to figure out how to write it. Been looking online and not finding exactly what I need and I am in a huge rush.

I have a dynamic text box that acquires text from a txt file.
Sometimes the text is greater than the text field so I want to be able to show a page up and page down button. However I do not want these displayed if the text does not exceed the field.
Currently the buttons are always displayed.
I understand how to get the text field info, I do not understand the "easy" bit of only loading the buttons if the text field size is exceeded.
Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
I have a text field in which I am loading HTML formatted text.
When I set a color to the text field, by using the "textColor" property, if the HTML formatted text has a different color assigned to some part of the text, by using the <font> tag, this color is no longer displayed, as it is overlapped by the "textColor" property one.
Is there a way to apply both a "textColor" property value and then be able to apply different colors using HTML tags ?
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
View 2 RepliesI created a movie clip that I'm using as a button The text label on the button is determined dynamically by a variable (txtVar1) in the code. The EventListeners tell the button movie clip what frame to display acording to the mouse state. The problem is, when you mouse over the button, it "forgets" the var:String in question. It should continue to display the text from the variable ("One Bedroom") regardless what frame the button clip is currently on. I think I need a way to update or refresh this variable with each mouse movement. Also, the whole thing seems to only function once, or sporadically at bestAnother weird thing is, it's ignoring the "buttonMode = true" statement for some reason.

I'm loading a xml file into a text field, now how can I tranform it to a button with the same file I loaded? Do I have to do a other button with the same var?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
View 5 RepliesI can't reference a dynamic text field inside a button, sends an error.... so... How can I do a work around on this? I need...
a) to set a variable to a string value based on button clicked.
b) the button to represent embedded text (I am using a custom font).
Simple trick, or link? Or is there a way I am not finding to reference a dynamic text field within a button?
I am an educator and I am designing an interactive activity for my students. I created two buttons named button_B and button_G, and an input textfield named in_Text.when a student presses button_B, the letter "B" is entered into the input text field; if a student presses button_G, the letter "G" is entered into the input text field. More than one letter entry is acceptable as a student's answer: for exmple the entry BBB, BGB within the input field is okay.I have no trouble writing AS3 to accomplish this task, however:For a student's solution to the input text field to be correct, it has to contain the four values BBB, GGG, BGB, and GBG in any order. I created an array named solution_S with these values. I also have an enter the solution button named enter_btn. The student can check their solution by pressing the enter_btn button; if the input textfield is correct, the quiz moves on to the next frame in my timeline; if it is incorrect, it moves to a different frame in my timeline.

is there any way to increment a display number up or down my clicking / holding a button?
im making a project to select a fuel tank capacity and want the default to be 0.0 gallons and have the user increase the number or decrease the number by clicking and up or down arrow button...

I have a problem with a button.It has 4 keyframe and a text field with the same instance name "myText".I use this button in a MC, and its instance name is "myBtn".I'm trying to change myText with actionscript in the MC without any results.Debugging it I find a text field insiede this button named "instance6", so i think there is some problem with instance name.
I trying with:
trace(myBtn.myText);
and it says "undefined"!
How can i correctly give instance name to this text field?Is there any way to find out the name of the instance of an object (the text field) knowing the instance name of its parent (the button)?
