ActionScript 2.0 :: Delay When Loading External Text?

Mar 16, 2004

I'm determined to have my external .txt file load into my dynamic field without ANY DELAY WHATSOEVER.

It seemed like the onLoad method of the LoadVars object would handle this nicely, however it does not work for me.

I placed the following code on the first frame of my movie:

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("content.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

[Code]....

It displays fine but there's still a delay. I figured the content from my .txt file would be loaded by now (its 2KB in size and has html tags embedded).

How can I properly "preload" my external text?

my_mc.text = aboutrandi;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text / Variable Used Before Populated With Loaded Text

Nov 29, 2009

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text - Text Gets Cut Off?

Apr 29, 2009

I'm loading some external text dynamically. Before I've always added the text to a textbox which is already on the stage. Now I'm adding the textbox with actionscript too but it's cutting off the exterally loading text at the height of the textbox (I know this because I am scrolling the text). There must be some property of the textbox which I haven't setwhat it is?Btw, I don't want to just change the height of the textbox as I am loading in many different texts of different lengths and this is affecting the scrolling.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text Via XML Or Other

Sep 5, 2010

Alright. I currently have a site where I need to have daily specials load into either dynamic text fields or tfl which ever is easier. Right now I am using as files loading into dynamic text fields but to update it I have to open flash move that days .as files into the same directory and publish, I have to do this everyday. Whats an easy way for me to set the code to automatically load the files everyday. Like on monday the code goes to /monday/specials.as and then tuesday does the same....or would it be easier to have an external file where all I have to do is edit the text and not have to open flash move files and re publish everyday.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Text From External .txt?

Apr 12, 2006

I followed the dynamic text tutorial on this site, and it worked perfect in my test .fla, however it isn't working in my actual implementation...

Basically, I have a movieclip that is several layers deep into the movie that I want to load the text, but for some reason its not loading...

I take the same movie clip, and I put it on the main stage and it works just fine.

So somehow the placement of the MC in the flash movie is screwing the linking...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Text That's Not A Variable

Dec 23, 2004

I'm working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?

IDE :: Button Loading External Text Into Swf File?

May 31, 2009

I'm creating a flash portfolio, I have small image icons, each icon when clicked on loads a diff. swf file, image gallery that loads bigger external images. I would like a different external text file to load every time a diff. image gallery loads, for some reason I cant find the answer to my problem,

I would like to add some actionscrpt to each icon/button so it will load a new txt file when clicked on.

(each image icon is a button and has the instance name of icon 1, 2 etc.)

the code goes like this;

stop();
menuHolder.loadMovie("retail/photoViewer.swf")
loadMovie ("retail/photoViewer.swf", "_root.menuHolder");

Delay On Loading A Movieclip?

Apr 10, 2009

I have a clip that's 1450 pixels wide, masked to 725 - basically a left side, and a right side. The left side will contain navigation for a portfolio, which when clicked, the movie plays 10 frames during which a movie clip called portholder will slide over from the right, and load the appropriate movie clip. Here's the code on one of the bits of navigation:

[Code]....

Essentially, I'm trying to replicate the effect Your Majesty is using. I'm sure there's a way of using actionscript to slide portholder back and forth, instead of using animation, but alas I'm not a scripter (as you can tell!). But what I'd REALLY like to do is to tell the container clip to wait until it's fully in position before loading whatever.swf, as opposed to having a movie already in progress moving across the screen. Basically tell portholder "Wait until your x value is 0 before loading whatever.swf" I thought about using the setInterval, as recommended to someone else on these forums, so tried:
