ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Content Does Not Show Up?
Nov 9, 2007
I'm attaching several movieclips onto the stage inside a for-loop and populating a dynamic textfield within the moviclip inside the same loop.Tracing the texfield.text shows the proper value in the Output console. However, the text value is not visible on the stage. I've drew a shape next to the dynamic textfield just to make sure the movieclip is being properly attached. I can see the shape but there is no text next to it.
Code:
var xPos=200;
for(var i=0; i<image_list.length; i++){[code].....
I have a dynamic text on the stage which gets updated (shows numbers) when some buttons are pressed.I just need to know if it is possible to show the first dynamic textfield in another dynamic textfield.Lets say the first dynamic textfield called "price" and the second one called "price2". when a button is pressed, the first dynamic textfield "price" will show a number. is it possible to show whatever is shown in the "price" in "price2" ?
If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) { text = actText[i+1]; background = true;
In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:
I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

I'm trying to make text disappear and appear letter by letter, so i'm using dynamic text. I've made this code which should do this, the only problem is that the text won't show up. I used trace to check what does the dynamic text box contains after the code has done it's job and it contains what it should. So I don't really understand where the problem is. I've embeded all the lowercase letters since I'm only using those... I don't know what else to add here... except the code offcourse:
Code: if (_root.butonselectat<>"") { stop();
[Code]....
Ignore all the "ifs" they just make the code do it's job when it should. And it seems that they work correctly. The first "for" cycle removes the text letter by letter and it only works if there is some text in the dynamic textbox while the second "for" adds the text letter by letter. I have the same code on two keyframes in the first layer and the the dynamic textbox on the second layer with only one keyframe.
I have a dynamic text "Home_btn" with content "Home", "Preview_btn" content "Preview" and so on.. I have another dynamic text "title_txt"and i need to get the txt content of the buttons to change the "Title_txt" when the button was clicked. my code...
function clickBtn(evtObj:MouseEvent) { title_txt.text=evtObj.target.name; }
I just want to know why a dynamic text doesn't show in the swf movie.Let me explain a little more: I have a mc within a main time line in wich is another mc,this mc have photos and a dynamic text who must be scrolled to view all of it,but the text doesn't appears! Below you will see a snapshot of the mc where you can see the level of it also.I've checked the actions script but there's no problem with it. here is the AS:
I have a dynamic text box that is getting its content from a .txt file. I have a simple scrollbar that has a slider insde of a box that denotes the length of the path. What is the simplest way to program this scrollbar?

basically i have dynamic text fields that i have been trying to parse to an xml file. when i test the movie it does not work, all the fields are blank. but the info DOES show up in the output tab, so i know that it is making the connection.... it just doesnt show up in the movie. weird.here is my actionscript:
var xml:XML=new XML();xml.ignoreWhite=true;xml.onLoad=parseXML;xml.load("popup.xml"); function parseXML(){trace(this);{ if (success) var diagramNode=this.firstChild; var
If anyone has a minute, can you look at this script and spot the flaw. I got it fron[URL].. It MOSTLY works, the bar travels across as it is loading, but the dynamic elements (percent loaded, # of bytes loaded vs. # bytes total) are blank areas. Haven't a clue. I can e-mail you the Flash file, I saw no provision to upload it to this Forum.
I'm using text that is set to "dynamic text". In actionscript 3 I tried: instancename.text = "abc"; trace(instancename.text); Trace returns "abc" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
In action script 2 I tried: var1 = "abc"; instance1._text = "def"; trace(var1 + instance1._text); Trace returns "abcdef" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
Our friend IE is destroying my life again. I've made this thing that loads the text from a .txt file. This works fine in every browser but IE. Here's the thing:[url]....click the green thing on the right and the green lightbox that pops up should contain som text and does so in every browser but IE.and here's a snippet of the sourcecode for one of the fields:
Code: var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("kampanj_text.txt") ); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); function completeHandler(event:Event):void { [code]........
I'm having trouble getting an external.swf to show dynamic text in the parent swf. When I run the external swf by itself the text shows up fine, but when I try to load it into another swf using the MovieClipLoader the dynamic text doesn't show up.
having a prob with my code. I'm trying to show a hidden dynamic text field with at button, but no luck I can make it work, if the field is'nt hidden, but not the idea. It should first show when you hit the button, if you know what I mean I'm working in Flash CS5Layerscript:_root.eventtext._visible = false (hide my textfield)
I have created a dynamic text box and have xml content loaded into via a for loop. I would like for each item in the list to be clickable and fire off a different function.
I need to show the amount of times the counter has been moved along the board, ie how many turns the player has.
the dynamic text box is called 'moves' and the counter is a button which is pressed for each move. Therefore, it would need to be added to the onRelease function.
How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when people go to a new section of my website.
for a school project i just have to create some product etc on adobe flash... I got a video, dynamic text that doesnt seem to show up when i click on the exe file after publishing..
