ActionScript 2.0 :: Display Multiples Lines Of Text Thru XML?
Jun 29, 2009
I'm setting up this animation of photo transitions. Each "set" consists of a photo and two lines of text on top of it, and so forth...I based it on this tutorial [URL], and most of it works, but stumbling on how to show the two separate lines of text...I'm guessing I need another array for the 2nd line of text after "description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;" (see below) ?
function loadXML(loaded) {if (loaded) {xmlNode = this.firstChild; image = []; description = []; total = xmlNode.childNodes.length; for (i=0; i<total; i++) { image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
I was wondering if there was a way to have a sort of output panel while testing an SWF outside of flash? I just want it to display text when I click a button on separate lines.
I am using a spark list control to display certain items with my custom Item Renderer. I am trying to achieve the following: (1) show a separating line between rows in my list control (2) even when not a single row has been added, I want a horizontal grid lines to be displayed in the background
I am not sure whether (1) and (2) can be achieved in one go. I can solve (1) by modifying my item renderer to have a border, I guess. But I want to know whether there is a better or more conventional way.
found that code to display html format text to dynamic textfield in as3:
var url:String = "http://edeejay.dyndns.org:8000/currentsong?sid=1"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for so if this is a repeat of a previous thread I apologize.
Essentially I'm looking to add multiple instances of the same mc I have in the library. I found some code while searching around, but can't seem to get it to work. I don't get multiple mc's on the stage[code]....
I'm working on a presentation who loads a gallery built in a .swf file.
I'm using the following code (Actionscript 3):
var container:Loader = new Loader(); container.load(new URLRequest("gallery-v1.swf")); addChild(container); container.x = 0; container.y=100;
So far so good this code works ok, loading gallery-v1.swf in the correct place. But the gallery also load a few swf itself.
The result is when I load the gallery, is placed in the correct position, but the gallery also loads other swf files on the root(?) of my project, in the 0,0 position and overlapping or clearing my job!
I'd *like* to use E4X filtering to enable users to sort some content.... the XML structure looks something like this:
<item title="" type="" />
type="" is the issue, as each item could have multiple types... for ease of use, i'd love to be able to do something like type="print, web, video"but obviously that doesnt work.... Does anyone have experience with some kind of 'tagging' structure for items loaded from XML?
var a = parent.addChild(cloud); a.x=10; a = parent.addChild(cloud); a.x=100;
I only get one cloud made at the position (100,y) (or, the last cloud I declare is the only one to show). How do I add multiples of a movie clip ?EDIT: I tried using addChild(new cloud) but the compiler says "Call to a possibly undefined method cloud."
as you can see the set of characters of "images" in that string twice.
I need to replace the second "images" with something else. Had there only been one "images", I would have done something like this...
Code: var url:String = "../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg"; // Pattern we are looking for in string var imagesPattern:RegExp = images; // Replace AddThumb( url.replace(imagesPattern, "thumbs"));
Because there are two "images" this will not work.
im kind of new to flash, and i have a question. On my scene, i have buttons generated from a xml file that can be dragged. I took the code from a tutorial on the web and added the drag function. I also have a drop zone where i put the button and it do some function. Here is my question, when i drop the button on the drop zone, the button stay in the center of the drop zone. If i drop another button to the drop zone, i want the previous button to return to its original position. How ?
Is there some kind of function to retrieve the last button used ? But even with this function, the problem is that if you click a new button, but change your mind and click on another one without dropping it in the drop zone, the last button is not the one in the drop zone anymore.
I have been working on a map viewer based blitting technique. As part of the map I need to draw approximately 50000 lines and performance is currently really poor.
I am a complete rookie in ActionScript2.0/Flash.I just started learning regarding a project. My problem is I want to display data from MySQL in a DropDown Menu in Flash. the SendAndRecieve functionality only aids us to receive any responses,right?(Please correct me If I am Wrong.
My code is on the main timeline.I call a function loop to draw lines between them.The lines are drawing between the right x, y values BUT between those values on the main stage, not those values within the kite.For example, dot1_mc is at x100, y0 inside kite. the line that should go from its center, draws from stage x100, 0.How do I draw the lines inside kite so that they draw between the dots?Heres my code that draws the linesPHP Code:
function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new
I created a TextArea object. Then I typed some text in it. Then i got this text useing TextArea.text property.How can I split text I got by lines and convert it to the array of strings?
I have a text field with a dynamic amount of text. Now I would like to take the lines 1 to 10 and put them in one variable. And then the lines 11 to 20 and put them in another variable.
I am playing around with the Lisa Larson tutorial on creating a flash video player with dynamic playlist (XML). I want to add another text field, but am running into trouble with the TileList.How can I create two different labels with TileList and call to them?I want "Title" and "Desc". I can work around it by putting it all into one label, but then I cannot style the title seperate from the description.
I am trying to get a dynamic text box to add text to it when I press a button, How do I get it to add multiple lines? I tried <br>, but how do I get line breaks? Is there a better code that what I am using? ..I am using...
Basically, I just want to do ye old text fade on as if being typed on to the screen. Letter by letter, and in some cases word by word. digi-poetry. I've made a BlackerMC which starts as a black square, then flickerfades away leaving some faded lines (like old school crappy green monitor style), and then the lines fade away. I've placed copies of this BlackerMC over each of the characters/words I want to 'type' on.
What I would like to do is animate a TriggerMC along the lines of text, and whenever it rollsOver a BlackerMC it triggers the Blacker to fade away. I know how to set up BlackerMC to look at its distance to TriggerMC, but then there will be like 500 BlackerMCs enterframing away. Is there a way I can make TriggerMC just look at 'whatever?' MC is under it, and then trigger whatever?MC to play? How to do this the smart way, entirely with action script and Dynamic Text?
The problem is that there are always 2 lines in text area when it runs......when i remove this i get usual one line but then i m not able to set color and all.I want to use textarea, set different colors on it and i dont want 2 lines in that.....
I'm loading a few bits of text into a dynamic textbox and I want to know if it's possible to find out the number of lines its taking up. Using the height of the textbox isn't an option as the text varies all the time.
