View 9 RepliesHow to apply alpha rpoperty for dynamic text.
View 1 RepliesI've got a movieClip containing a background and 3 dynamic text inputs, that I'm trying to tween via the tween class.When I apply the alpha tween, the background within the movieClip does fade to 0 like it should, but the dynamic text inputs do NOT.I was wondering if anyone could explain how I could get this working, so that an alpha tween to a movieClip also alpha tween everything within it. It was my understanding that the point of putting things into a movieClip was so that you didn't have to apply to each element of the movieClip.
View 2 RepliesMovie clips containing dynamic text fields do not fade properly when _alpha is modified by AS. The text doesnt fade, but appears 100% at all alpha levels.
View 1 RepliesI have some text which was set up with an alpha fade-in motion tween (0-100%) and worked fine until the text was made dynamicaly loaded from a text file and variable. Now it still shows the fade-in in work mode, but during play it just pops directly to the final 100% state.
View 6 RepliesI have a grid of animated dynamic text boxes that are being pushed in from an array. This works great. I was wondering if it possible to have those randomly bolded? If that is not possible, than could their alpha's be random but not any lower than 50%. I know AS3 does 0-1 but how would you force it to not be lower than a certain number?
PHP Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;var myArray:Array=["Person1","Per2","theLongerPerson3","Person4","p5","p6","People1","Peep2","theLong

I have generated several TextFields dynamically through a for loop. I would like all the text fields to have their alpha set to 0 so that each field can eventually fade in.
When I apply the alpha property by setting it to 0, or even .5 the text appears to still be at an alpha of 1. Does anyone know how to make the text appear with a low to 0 alpha?
I have attached the code from the function which runs the for loop to generate the text fields. Please not that the value of the text fields are stored in a global array, and the text format objects are also global and are declared in the main body of the class.
I'm trying to make three text boxes each inside its own movie.Then I want them to each fade in.. not at the same time.. but like.. movie one starts fading in.. a few seconds later the second starts fading in.I've been working this code around but I'm having trouble with it.If I set it to embed fonts the text doesn't display.I also can't make the dynamically stuff be set to an alpha property.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've been making a game in ActionScript 2.0 Flash CS3. Now I want to be able to display my characters alpha using dynamic text. The instance name for the character is char and the Var for the dynamic text is alpha. I want to be able to display the characters alpha and ALSO the characters current alpha in other levels for example.
Variable for lives in level 1:
_root.lives = 5;
Variable for lives in level 2:
_root.currentlives = lives;
I want to be able to do the exact thing but display the 'char' alpha instead.

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.
View 3 RepliesI have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.
View 5 RepliesBasically 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.
I am trying to change the text color in a dynamic text field with xml.[code]but this creates a text field for you, which I dont need it created already have a dynamic text field with the var mybtninfo.What I have right now to get the text to show up in the field is:now only want to change the color of the text in the box thru XML.
View 8 RepliesLet 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:
PHP Code:
myVariable = "myText";
_root.myMovieclip.myVariable.text = "Hello!";

I am somewhat new to Actionscipt and I need a bit of help. I have created a dynamic text box that is being fed from an xml file. Depending on the data (whether positive or negative), I would like the output text to either be green or red (green for positive, red for negative). I�m sure that has to be a condition statement written and applied to the object, but I do not know how to do.
View 1 Repliesi like to do a color change for a dynamic text field if it statisfy a certain condition, like if the value is below 0.
i tried below. "profit" is the dynamic text

profit.color=FF0000 }
wanting to change the color to red. But it doesn't work.
I'm making an activity where you drag and drop text (in mc's) into a specific column. There are two columns, the left is for workplace responsibility the right side is for personal responsibility. I've made the actionscript so that I can drop multiple targets into any of the correct spaces they're supposed to go to and I want the text to appear in that particular spot.
At the moment I have dynamic text, and when the text/mc is dropped into the box I have the code (textOne.text=event.target.name) - and so the instance name shows, but since you cant have whitespace in the instance names its not formatted the way I want it.
I tried using:
Code:
if(event.target.name==teamPlayer_mc){
textOne.text = "Team Player";}
But that doesn't work..

Is there a way to "listen" to dynamic text? I have this dynamic textfield on the stage and I want to call a function once the the dynamic text has been changed. I tried to add event listener but it seems to work only on INPUT text.
View 4 RepliesUsing this code I am filling a dynamic text box with numbers 1-number defined by xml:
Code:
var pageNum:String;
txt.text = "";
for (var i:int=1; i < myXML.*.length()+1; i++) {
pageNum = String(i);
txt.appendText(pageNum+" ");
}
What I would like to do is be able to change the colour of one number. If the dynamic text box has the numbers 1-5 in it I would, for example, like to change the colour of the number 2. Have it set to blue but the rest to white. How would I do this without changing the colour of the entire text field?
