If I want to load dynamic text without having to press a button. I want it to load in the first frame of my movie automatically when it loads. What should I do? What I have so far on a button is :
on (press) {
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("home.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
I used this AS to load external text (load on its own).
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
loadTexts.onLoad = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};
How can I modify this AS so that it will load when I press a button. I try to change it to this
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
buttonToLoad.onPress = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};
I wrote a code that's suppose to change the number in a dynamic text when I press a button,<br>What did I do wrong?
Object(root).currentNum=1;
Object(root).pageNum.text = Object(root).currentNum;
Object(root).arrowLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, arrowLeftClick);
function arrowLeftClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
Object(root).currentNum-=1;
}
now it's only showing me the number 1.
I *know* this is simple. I've read every thread on this board pertaining to this (including senocular's Best Of thread), done everything there and this still doesn't work and I can't see why.
I feel like an idiot even asking, because I've seen the examples and lengthy tutorials.
All I want to do, is change the color of a dynamic text field when you press a button. But I want the name of the field to be a variable.
Now, this is what's there:
1. the variable "_root.expinttype1" is equal to "branch" and is set elsewhere.
1a. There is an existing dynamic field called "branch" on screen.
2. On the button release I set the format:
[Code]....
Why? I set a dummy variable txt = _root.expinttype1; and even threw it into a text field to verify the data, and it shows "branch", so why doesn't this work?
I'm running flash cs4. I have an xml file I've loaded in but cs4 actually takes out the root nodes. So now I've been trying to add them back in when a button is pressed but I can't do it. I looked at creatElement and appendChild functions they seem to be what i need but I can't get them to work.

I have a main swf(let's call it 'main.swf'), and within this swf I have a container movieclip (instance name of 'projectloader_mc'), next to this 'projectloader_mc' I have two buttons 'next project' and the second 'previous project' lets give them instance names 'next_btn' and 'prev_btn'. The timeline of main.swf has some AS3 to tell projectloader_mc to load an external .swf, the first .swf being 'project1.swf'. This way on launch of main.swf the container automatically loads the project1.swf and gives users immediate access to this. Project1.swf contains some text and an image that links to a webpage URL using URLrequest etc.
There are going to be many other Project.swf files to load. lets call these Project2.swf, Project3.swf etc that have the same thing text and an image link inside.
Here is what I want to achieve, I want the user to be able to click on next_btn and load project2.swf in to the container, BUT I want to be able to say next time they click on next_btn it will load Project3.swf and so on. My problem is I am unsure how to dynamically change the URLrequest reference once the user clicks, so clicking to load project1.swf would load and say to next_btn also change to load project2.swf on the next clip. Previous has to do the same but backwards. It is almost like the next button and prev button need to know what mc is loaded in order to adjust the functions for loading the next or previous clip.

I'm still a beginner with AS3. I am simply trying to load my .htm file into my dynamic text field, but it will not show up. When the movie plays, the cursor shows that there is text where it is supposed to be, but I do not see any text. I don't see an option to attach a file, otherwise I would.
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat ();
myFormat.size=16;
myFormat.align=TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
var htmlText:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("text.htm");
var loadShit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadShit.load(htmlText);

I am running 3 swf files for loop. Problem is after compiling the flash file swf file is getting slower and slower after two or three loops and stopping with one content finally. I don't know why it is happening my guess is "due to memory increasing causing flash file to slower".
package com {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I've been trying to load an XML file into a dynamically created text field so i started of working on an example of Flash Help.
In the XML of the example there is an hyperlink which doesn't work. It appears as a hyperlink but when you click on it isn't working.
Its a simple matter of loading text from a text file named "data" into a dynamic field. The code in the frame itself is
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
name.text = this.name;
};
The thing is that the SWF file I load the text into (called "RASHI.swf"). I loaded into another SWF file called "index.swf". My site is based on this tutorial [URL]. When I run "RASHI.swf" on my PC everything is fine and the text is loaded but when I run "index.swf" (again, on my PC, not the web) it says "Undefined".
I'm using Flash CS3 Actionscript 2. I'm loading an external file (it used to be an XML file but now it is an aspx file). Anyway, my actionscript for loading the file looks like this:
xmlFile = "flash/info.aspx?id=1"
Which works great with the aspx file I've created. But I need the "id=1" to append a dynamic number instead of the "1".
I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

View 3 RepliesI'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"
As a test, I'm loading images (or references to images, more accurately) from an external XML file into Flash, each image representing where a thumbnail might appear in a portfolio, for example. I can get that to work fine. I have a couple of problems with the way the images appear, though. For one thing, when the 95 px X 95 px images are brought into the dynamically created 100 px X 100 px movieclips I have set for them, the JPGs stretch to fit... is this because I'm using the loadMovie method? The main difficulty I have, though, is my inability to get these individual movieclips containing JPG images to exhibit rollover and rollout behavior dynamically... without disturbing the image contained within.
Here's the code I have right now; my lame attempt at a dynamic rollover behavior is the for.. loop at the bottom, which is non-functional, by the way.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
//according to "content2.xml," this would set the parser at "<projects>".
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
var thumbs:Array = new Array;
var description:Array = new Array;

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.
I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing.
2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does.
3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.
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".
