I am popultating a dynamic text box with values from a database.I need/want the location of the text box to be at a random position on the stage, so I have been using:[code]I see that the htmlText is getting set, and with what looks like good html, and I see that text gets set with the non html part from the htmlText.Is it not possiable to calculate the width of the text when html is set to "true"?
View 6 RepliesI did not have any problems on CS4 but I encountered this error below when I used CS5. Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts. Now that the line of error is cleared. However, I am still having problems with my dynamic text fields which worked with correct values in CS4 but gave the incorrect values in CS5.

I wanted to assign a value to a text box- dynamic :so I create a dynamic text box with instance name : value_text
when I assign the value frameRate to the text box [code]...
I am getting the following error message.

I have a movie that contains a series of radio button groups, which each have their own accompanying dyn text box. When a certain radio button is selected, a pre-determined value is loaded into each respective groups' text box, via "onRelease".
Now, I can get these values to appear fine in each text box, but I then have a fourth text box (amount_total), into which I want to have the sum of all the previous text box's values.
I have a submit button with the following actions on the first frame of the timeline:
onSubmit = function (){
_root.amount_total = Number(_root.total_surf) + Number(_root.total_music) + Number(_root.total_video);
}
Now, when I hit the submit button NaN is returned.
I'm not a programmer but have been using Flash for awhile. This is my first heavy dive into variables.I'm putting together a Quiz game where I pull the information from a txt file. I can get everything to display and work fine except for the adding of a total score.I have a series of values in a text file and load it into my movie. Depending upon what button I push, I want to take the value and add it to the total score. The next button I push I want it to add that value to the new total score.
View 3 RepliesI have name my dynamic texts as inp1.text, inp2.text, inp3.text etc...Now my question is.. when applying actionscripts (2.0 is the one I use), how to increment their values?How I can make inp1.text as inp2.text?
on(release){
if (Number(inp1.text)>0){n1=Number(inp1.tex� else{n1=0;}
if (Number(inp2.text)>0){n2=Number(inp2.tex� else{n2=0;}

View 1 RepliesI have 3 dynamic text boxes on the main movies stage that are getting their values from an externally loaded swf. If statements within the external movie loads the values from an xml file depending on which action is selected by the user. Now I have a fourth text box that needs to gather all the values that are loaded in the other 3 and add them together...placing zero if nothing is loaded. I have done various code tests...I get either NAN or _level0.total ...total is the instance name of one of the boxes, I am trying to access.
View 2 RepliesI can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes. I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.[code]I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array.
View 9 RepliesIt's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

View 1 Replieshow Flash reads the PHP coding which was generated from the MySQL database.Though, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this task and/or clear stuff up. All I want to do is grab a single video file, when on the video.php page.the video.php will have the parameter, video.php?id=____ and than the PHP coding in the header will grab the database info for that video. Though, do I have to create a separate page for the flash to grab that information?Like, I notice that for Flash to grab that info, PHP needs to set it up like so:
Code:
vid=test.flv&title=title...
and ect. Though, do I have to echo this part out, or do I have to send that PHP info and create a page from it, than have flash grab the information from that 2nd page?
How can I create a for loop so I can use different values of the same node? So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields.

View 0 Repliesive got some dynamic _x _y values coming from an xml file, and i can trace these out fine. xml_x = 300 xml_y = 240 or whatever. However when I try to send a mc to those values, using either load either or enterFrame the clip doesnt do anything at all. Is this because flash is treating the 300 from <xpos>300</xpos> in my xml file as a string rather than an integer?

I'm trying to set up a calculator for a couple of formulas I need to use for some schoolwork. I thought it would be a lot easier if I could just put the numbers in there and hit enter.I can't figure out how to transfer the numbers from the input box to the dynamic box though =/. I figured I'd try to get going really easy, just do a input box, when you click on a button, a dynamic box displays whatever is in the input box. I cant get it to work though . I tried various variations of codes, Heres some of them:
[AS]
this.btn.onRelease = function(){
this.outp.getProperty(this.inp)

I'm a front end designer, so I don't have much experience with coding and I'm having a lot of trouble finding a solution to this problem. What I want to do is take the value of $MyState in the php code below and get a flash file located on the same page to recognize the value..
PHP Code:
$MyState = $_GET['MyState'];
MyState is defined dynamically through the address bar, i.e. http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?MyState=Something
The value of MyState is constantly changing so doing a loadvars from mypage.php won't work. Is there a way to loadvars and get the value of what is in the address bar? _url also does not work. _url is seen as mysite.com/myflashfile.swf.
Or does anyone know of any other ways to get the results I'm looking for?

I have 7 Dynamic Text Boxes, each with a numeric value.. I need to add them together.

Gives errors. How do I do Simple Addition? It's been so long.

I thought the higher the depth number the closer to the viewer it was? I have created a movie which pulls back info from a database, on the original movie, once all the data was loaded, I created the required number of dynamic text boxes on the _root and everything worked perfectly. I then decided that I would need to display other information on other movie clips. So I decided to turn the movie into a movie clip, so that I could create other movie clips and load these as needed. I created a new blank movie, attached a blank movieclip (depth 0) as a container for the movie clips that will hold the different data.
I then used attachMovie(depth 1) to attach the original movieclip, which holds the database info. I then changed the original movie, so that it would create the text boxes in this movie clip(depth 3), so that when I decided to load another movie, I don't have to clear up text boxes on the root. When I run the movie, I get the background image for the data movie clip, but I don't see the text. I used trace to make sure that the text boxes were being created and the text values were assigned and they are. So why can't i see the text?
I was wondering if it is possible to capture whenever properties are set/accessed/created on dynamic objects?Basically, among others, I want to create a little quick system which acts as an Array and allows you to set the same value of all items inside of it.For example:
Code:
var dynamicObjArray:DynamicObjectArray = new DynamicObjectArray();
dynamicObjArray.push(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6);
