Is there any known issue with combo boxes that are dynamically created and styled, where they work and style fine when testing in the authoring environment, but just display what appears to be a blank background with no menu text when its an swf loaded into a main movie?

View 5 RepliesI have an externally loaded text file (example1.txt) and scroller set up the way I want, and everything seems to load and scroll just fine when playing the movie (resume.swf) by itself... however, when I have that movie (resume.swf) loaded into my main movie (main.swf) I can't get it to scroll at all.
View 2 RepliesI bought some flash templates and have a big problem. When using some flash movie with dynamic text when I run it standalone - its working 100%. If loaded into main movie then static text,graphic, actionscript is working fine but all dynamic text is not visible. Something in main movie is making dynamic text invisible. Please guys some help will be great - I spend already 3 months trying to figure out problem but with no luck.

I am using the transition preloader on url]... to load in external swfs (http:url...). I have Spark's calendar component on one of the external swfs. All text appears fine when testing the calendar page itself but the text seems to disappear when it's loaded as an external swf into the main file. Is this a path issue?

View 3 RepliesI have two Preloader problems for a project I'm working on right now.
1. The Main Site preloader disappears when 60% is loaded...with a blank screen lag until moving to the main screen
2. My external .swf Preloader is still on screen after an external .swf has loaded. I can hear the external .swf playing while watching my loader bar at about 20-40%.
Main Site Preloader:
var yChange = 109.2;var yStart = 330.2;
myInterval = setInterval(preload,100);[code].......
I thought it was about time my Pretty Noise Toys had preloaders on them, so I went about using MovieClipLoader like so[code]...
View 1 RepliesCan someone explain why the text of a dynamic text object disappears at runtime when rotated?It happened when I rotated a MovieClip object via actionscript that contained a dynamic text object. So, to test whether this happens all the time, I created a movie clip again with a dynamic text object in it, populated the dynamic text object with a single letter, and rotated it by hand and ran the movie - the letter disappeared.
LOL in a happy, rare accident, I discovered the answer myself. Page 432 of the Flash 8 Actionscript Bible says, "Aside from just allowing text to look the way you want it to look, embedded fonts actually enable your Textfield objects to do some things they wouldn't otherwise do. For example ... a TextField object that uses device fonts (nonembedded fonts) cannot be rotated nor can you change the alpha. But once you embed the font, you can do both of these things."
How: (for dynamic or input text objects) clicking the Embed button in the Property inspector.Note, this will increase the size of your swf. Just embedding the lowercase and uppercase letters from a-z of one font increased the swf filesize from 3-9KB.
I am working on a comboBox in flex. I am showing 5 items as item1, item2, item3, item4item5. Now i want to show first 2 items in red color and the last 3 items in green color. How to do this ? i need a solution asap.
View 2 Repliestried following the Embed Font example here: http:[url].... exactly with absolutely no results.When I add txtField.embedFonts, the text no longer shows up, and without embedFonts, the fonts are just Times New Roman or something. Regardless, the [Embed source="..."] syntax described in the example does not seem to work. Has ANYONE gotten Embed fonts to work in AS 3.0? Second, when I add wordwrap = true to a text field, the text disappears. (it used to work fine. It stopped around when I started trying to embed the fonts, but it doesn't work even if I remove all embed code.)

View 1 Replies It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I'm having a little trouble using URL links in text. If I select a part of the text and give it a URL link (I'm using mailto: links here), strange things are happening to all the text in that text box at runtime in some cases the leading changes, other times some or all of the text disappears. But it only happens at runtime, so I have no way of knowing if or how to compensate. And simply removing the offending link or linked text doesn't fix the problem once the link has been created the only way to fix it is to create a new text box with no links.
View 4 RepliesI have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.
the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:
Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"
then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.
I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.

View 3 RepliesI have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
For some reason when I rotate text it disappears from the swf when i test movie!!?

I am new to CS4 and I have an issue with writing text on frames. I am using the text tool to write a paragraph of text which I type in to word to do spell check etc. Then I transfer to Flash and using the text tool paste it in. Now as soon as I let go of the mouse the text disappears but when I click on the text again it reappears why?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.
I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");

I based the following on an old code I barely understood while creating it, and decided to begin messing with it again in my "learn japanese kanji" minigame. When my sprite contacts a movieclip, (like a door or sign), I want the text screen to appear, and disappear when they are no longer in contact.
The code below almost does that. When the sprite contacts the movieclip (contact code at the bottom of this post), the textbox appears, the text appears, and everything works... for about a split second, and then the text - but not the box, disappears. I think disappearing text has something to do with being loaded through an on EnterFrame, but I don't understand why the box remains.

I have a dynamic textbox loading htmltext. In a layer above this I have another dynamic textbox loading some more htmltext. The first box displays the text fine, but when the second box slides into place (as part of an interface animation) the text in first box disappears. I switched the text in the first box to non-html text and it works fine, however, it needs to be html text.
View 3 RepliesI have a photoGallery.swf, with an xml-generated menu.Every link will load a img.swf listed in the xml file.The img.swf is fairly simple: 1 image in the bg, 1 small txt field that loads some external text.My problem = while the img.swf displays correctly when viewed alone, the text disappears when I load it from the photoGallery. Actually, I can even say that I see the text during the glint of an eye, less than a second, when I load the swf from its link in the photoGallery's menu. So I really don't get why it disappears.Another thing, if I run my mouse over the area where the text field is supposed to be I can see the cursor change.[code]
