View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?
I'm working on a little game/quiz where the user has to get 8 or more questions correct.If they get 8 or more correct and hit submit, their scores will be sent to a server. I don't have the server info yet, but I believe I'm pretty close to solving this on the flash end of things, as far as sending out the url with the total number correct appended.I'm getting the following error.
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "http://www.website.com/complete.asp?13" to flash.net.URLRequest.

View 2 RepliesI've got this countdown timer that was created back in the days of flash 5. I'm trying to add it to a new movie I've created that I'm exporting using flash 6 and the timer doesn't work. No numbers even show up.I'm assuming that it's due to some conflict with the version and the script that each one supports. Is there anything in the following code that I can change to make it compatible with my flash 6 movie?
This tells text field "sec2" to count down by subtracting one
set("/:sec2", (/:sec2-1));
This states that if text field "sec2" is less than 0 then tell text field "sec1" to subtract one and add a nine in text field "sec2", hence completeing the seconds countdown.
if (/:sec2<0) {
set("/:sec1", (/:sec1-1));
/:sec2 = "9";[code]......

I'm working with a flash program that dynamically creates a user-specified amount of text fields in an MC using the createTextField function. However, it seems only one of the text fields will show up.
I've done some testing, and I found that when you create multiple text fields in an MC using this method, only the most recent one shows up. Is there any way to avoid this?
When I placed this AddEventListener I got this "Type Coercion failed message"
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrm);
Located above the mouse event:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrm);

With the code below how can I add to it to make it a link to an internal movie clip.So when someone clicks on this text it tells another move clip to play.Do I need to create an empty MC and Add this text feild inside that MC?
Code:
_root.createTextField("mytext",1,585,20,200,100);
mytext.multiline = true;

I'm coding a dynamic menu in flash which involves creating a text field for each item in an array (forloop).
but i want to create the text field with no set width so that each text field is set to the width of the space that the text inside it takes up..i thought something like
createTextField("name", depth); would do but it doesnt seem to work without all of the parameters
createTextField("name", depth, x, y, width, height);
When I load an external text file it takes two clicks of the button to get the text to loadThe first click is blank the second click loads the text.
Here is the function:
// Create TextField and load text
function makeTxtBox(txtFile, textVar) {
[code].....
I have searched the forum for this, and there are a couple of similar questions, but no answers (bad sign I guess...).Is it possible to use movieclip.createTextfield and use a component scrollbar?

Why doesn't this work?
I'm not having luck setting alpha values with _parents that contain child textFields created dynamically. The text filed doesn't change its _alpha with the other objects in the movie clip.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to write a function that I can use for creating text fields - in this case: to make the labels for a navigation menu. But the function is not working and I don't know what's the problem. Vars are: n = name and l = depth.

function makeMenuTab(n, l, x, y, w, h) {

I want to be able to create a text field on a movie clip that is already established. I can create a text field on the main flash window, but I am unable to create a text field on a movieclip on the flash window.My MovieClip is called Background with an instance name of myBackground. I try the following line among others I have tried:
myBackground.createTextField("mytext",1,0,0,100,50 );
mytext.text = "hello";
Am I referencing the movie clip correctly?I have checked the Complete Reference for Macromedia Flash MX, but could not find anything in there. It seems like that book only skims the surface.
I have about 80 wmv lectures which are approximately 55 minutes in length each.
View 1 RepliesOne of my students lost her .fla file but has her .swf file. Can I convert it in Flash CS3? I downloaded a trial version of a flash decompiler but was afraid to try it as it says it only converts in black and white. It's from Eltima. Of course, as a high school, we don't have funds to pay for a full-fledged version of Eltima.

View 1 RepliesFor the record, I am an iOS developer, and have absolutely no background on how flash programs work/run/developed...etc.
I have a Flash program that is mostly a collection of SWF files. It does, however, contain some Actionscript, Javascript and other integrated languages here and there..
I would like to convert this project/program to an iPad application. Is it possible?
What I got from searching the net:
Converting Actionscript to LUA script
Using Corona SDK to port the program to iOS
Starting a new iOS project in flash and moving the code somehow..
Other tedious ways which are not feasible at all....
The above mostly handles the actionscript part .. what about the SWF files?
As a last resort, one could at least guide me to a developer/company who can handle this task, or provide training to accomplish this.
