I've created a XML-dynamic news box which uses a external .CSS Since my hosting is slow, when I load my movie of the news box, some of the times CSS doesn't seem to do its work -- All I see is the html code that I created in the XML file.
I was wondering how I preload the css and xml before executing/using it.

Here is what I'm trying to do: recreate the news ticker from [url]...
HEre is the trick: The client wants to be able to change the news themselves via an external .txt file, the also want each piece of news to link and the link will change..
I've got the text loading into the .swf just fine, but I have no idea how I can make the news pieces hot to a dynamically changing link that will be changed by them
I am working on the news ticker module (AS2) where I have to fetch news from xml and populate that news headings into four text fields and these 4 headings will stay for a while and fade until last record. this process will continue.

I'm using Fuse and wanted to target the dynamic text and or background portions of the headline section.
However, this movie clip is attached to the menu_mc so I'm stumped as to what I should exactly target for the fuse sequence (or any mx.transition/zigo engine based code-tweening process for that matter).
I've attached the files in a .zip for people to look at (and possibly conquer my problem!
how to create a dynamic news ticker like one of these? Only that it would scroll longer sentences? Of course the first idea is just load single line TextField and tween it across the screen beneath a mask. I don't like this because
a) It's retarded
b) Your swf width is quite long even if you don't see it, it's there.
c) It's retarded
I'm trying to think up a better solution. So far I haven't thought of anything better (does that mean I'm retarded?). Some other brain stormed ideas could be parsing each word in the String into it's own Sprite, as BitmapData, and sort of train tweening those, that was you can dispose each after it's cleared the screen. This seems like too much work, and potentially draining on the system's resources, having to create new instances, and repeteadly add them to the display list, and such.
What I am trying to do is like a news ticker, except a swf loads in and takes the place of the one previous. I wanted it to change every 6 seconds. Using the Random Loading SWF Tutorial as a base [URL]. How do you make it not random? I just want it to load the list I give it in order with a 6 SECOND DELAY.
View 10 RepliesI have this news scroller for work - Vertical member (160 X 600) And the idea is that it has 3 text fields (Headlines). These fields are lined up vertically (one at the top of the scroller, one at the middle, and one at the bottom.). I load them dynamically from XML, and after about 5 seconds, I have them all move up. (the top one goes up the top, and comes back from the bottom, the other two move up). The problem is that I am trying to center justify them. When they're loaded I can center justify them, using this code:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.centerFunction = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
_root.news2.headline2_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news3.headline3_txt.setTextFormat(format);
_root.news1.headline1_txt.setTextFormat(format);
}
Now, when they are first center justified by the code, they look slightly off, and once they move they arrange themselves correctly.

I'm working on a project and attempting to create a dynamic news page by loading from an XML file. Everything seems to display fine for some people, for others it loads every dynamic text field with an instance path such as "_level0.instance1.instance30.instance45.conte ntMa in.Body1".

I wanted to add a second news box under the first one and have it pull the first two news items in the xml file and have it displayed on the movie. Currently it is putting the first news item in both news boxes.ction script so that the second box is actually the second "<news> tag". From the tutorial I removed the <info> <author> and <comment> tags.

View 1 RepliesThe menu items are created dynamic out of empty movieclips and have the name movie + x. Now I'm trying to create a method that resets al the other movieclips to their original size and colour when one is pressed. The first problem is to adress the other ones.

I was wondering if there was a way of drawing different shapes dyamically, and then somehow "join" them so that the resulting shape has only one outline, and not an outline for each shape.For examples making a random cloud with circles, and only have the outline on the cloud, and not each circle.
View 4 RepliesWhat I want is the following. Based on an XML file and one empty movie clip, I create about 80 different items (menu items). By drag and dropping these menu items you can create a scene with objects. These objects are copies of the menu items.But I want to use the attachMovie command to have control over the path of the objects. But by creating the menu items dynamically, I cannot say in the library, export for actionscript.So my question is, how can I use the attachMovie command on items that are dynamically created.

How do I have access and apply this to the already created states ? I tried to create RemoveChilds and override/push it to the state.All I archieved was to remove an entire GridRow at the very last state, but it should be just one GridItem at every state.

I have two TLF textfileds in my application. The first TLF textfield is on the stage and the second one is created dynamically during runtime. Now I am able to embed the fonts in the first TLF textfield by using "use device fonts" since it is on stage. The flash player the rendering the data absolutely fine. I want to get the same look and feel for the second TLF textfield which is created dynamically during runtime. I tried so many ways.

I am confronted with a simply yet annoying problem: I manually created a row of MovieClips inside another movieclip container_mc on the stage in the Flash CS4 Editor. The MovieClips are named in the same convention (eg. target_1_mc, target_2_mc, ...target_200_mc).
When I try to access a property of it via AS3 during runtime of the SWF like this, it works:
container_mc.target_0_mc.alpha = 0; But how do I access the MovieClip dynamically? During runtime, a script will determine of which MovieClip i need to access a property. I will get the ID number of the MovieClip I want to access. So I need to be able to to something like this:
var mc_ID:int = 2; ["container_mc.target_"+mc_ID+_mc""].alpha = 0;
Obviously, that doesn't work. When I would create all the target-MovieClips dynamically at runtime, I would simply put them in an array. But in this case I need to work with the existing MovieClips manually created in the Flash Editor.
