ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Dynamic Text From External File?

Dec 30, 2010

I have a content area with dynamic text (title and detail) that changes depending what button a user is rolling over, and i want this text to load from an external file. I have 26 buttons total, so i need 26 different titles and 26 different details to load.

I have looked around and the only solution with the loadvars technique involves creating 26 separate .txt files and loading them all in, then calling them as needed. This seems like a big waste of CPU cycles and time creating each file.

Is there an easier way to go about tackling this? Ideal would be having all the text in 1 file, and calling each identified title and detail as needed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scroll Dynamic Text From External TXT File

Sep 17, 2009

I had some dynamic text with a scroll bar and it was working fine. Then I decided to use HTML formatting and bring it in through an external .txt file using the following code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
} myLoadVars.load("ContactText.txt");
The text is loading fine except that my scrollbar has now disappeared and you can only see the first few lines of text.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Field / External File Character Limit

Apr 25, 2010

I've had a Flash website up and running for about a year which includes an external text file linked to a dynamic text field.

Everything worked well until I recently added content to the external text file.

Suddenly, the file won't load in flash.

If I play around and cut a line here or there, it sometimes loads. Sometimes not. Sometimes it looks like there might be a character limit. Sometimes it looks like flash might be having a problem with certain characters.

So my questions are:

1.) Does Flash have a limit on the amount of characters that can be displayed in a dynamic field.

2.) If so, can this be changed with as3?

CS3 - Make XML Data From External File Display Inside A Dynamic Text Field?

Mar 23, 2010

I have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.

I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.

for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}

But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.

I'm pulling text from an xml file into a dynamic text field and I need to highlight the text one paragraph at a time depending on where the timeline playhead is. I was thinking of doing this by changing the color of the text but I don't know how to do it inside the CDATA tags.At the moment one CDATA populates one text field.Another option is that there would be a movie clip behind the text that would jump to highlight a specific paragraph but then I would need to know how much vertical space each paragraph takes.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Dynamic Text On Not Yet Visible Text Fields?

Nov 4, 2009

Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:

this["text_1"].text = "Hello";

The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.

Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.

Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Change The Text Of The Dynamic Text Box Within The Movieclip?

Let me explain the setup:There is a dynamic text box called, for example, myText stored inside a movieclip that is called myMovieclip. Now, I simply want to change the text of the dynamic text box within the movieclip. Yes I know:PHP Code:

_root.myMovieclip.myText.text = "Hello!";

The problem that I have however, is that the instance name myText is stored in a variable, lets call it myVariable. So in very simple layout, it looks like this:

myVariable = "myText";
_root.myMovieclip.myVariable.text = "Hello!";
