ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Won't Load

Dec 19, 2003

I have a dynamic text box on my main time line with an instance name (NOT var name) of MCtxt. My textfiles have the variable of txtMC. I have a movie clip with a little ease bar on it. When the user mouses over the movie clip the ease bar goes to the mouse and, once it comes close to stopping, it triggers some AS to capture a number. Then I have a switch statement that does some stuff depending on the number. So here is the code I have on that movie clip:

[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if (_global.stopped == true){
//trace(_global.j);

[code]....

Tracing j returns the correct number and the _root.date.text works just fine. But the text is not loading and the trace on the success returns an undefined. I have tried moving all of the loading text code inside the case but it doesn't work there either. All variable names are correct (quadruple checked, at least) so it's gotta be something with my code. It's probably something really simple and stupid but it's frustrating me to no end.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Load Text Into A Dynamic Text Field And Load A Corresponding Picture Or Movieclip?

May 1, 2009

The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.

The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...

So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below

var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load New Text Into A Dynamic Text Box Already Populated By A Xml File?

Jan 13, 2010

I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.

I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.

1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.

Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];

[Code].....

What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.

What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Access Text From A .txt File And Load It Into The Dynamic Text Box

Mar 29, 2004

am setting up a webpage with Flash MX. On the homepage I have a dynamic text box with links to the left (currently the links are just typed words). We want it to setup so that when a user clicks a link (such as "HOME") it will access text from a .txt file and load it into the dynamic text box. We want all of the links ("HOME", "PERSONNEL", "RECRUITS", "CONTACT US") to load their text from a seperate .txt file into that same dynamic text box.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Random/dynamic Text Into A Text Field?

Jan 18, 2005

When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.

I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

Getting Dynamic Text To Load?

Mar 26, 2010

I'm trying to load dynamic text from a variable specified in my HTML. I have searched all over and can't find an answer. Most of the tutorials are for loading dynamic text from a text file. This is NOT what I want...I create a dynamic text box and give it the variable name "mytext".

I then add the following to my HTML code.
<param name="flashvars" value="mytext=something" />
<embed src="test.swf?mytext=Something" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550"

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Will Not Load?

Sep 7, 2010

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.contentMa in.Body1".

It should look like this:
dawnoffantasy.com/pageok.jpg

and this is what it's doing for some people:
dawnoffantasy.com/pagenook.png

the site can be viewed live at:
dawnoffantasy.com/index-test.html

If someone could please try and help that would be great. I've already embedded all the fonts, and also got people who've been having issues to clear their cache and refresh the page, to no avail.

Load Dynamic Text After Button Click?

Apr 13, 2010

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.

I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.

I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Get The Dynamic Text To Load Into A Movieclip?

Apr 15, 2011

I have a dynamic text field that is loading an external .txt file with html coding in it. I can get the text to load and display properly, however I now want to make a custom scrollbar and I have no clue how to even get it to work.I want to make a custom one instead of using the component one. It doesn't even have to be a traditional scrollbar, I would much rather just use an up and down arrows. In the past I've just used buttons and placed AS directly onto them. However I guess you can't do that in AS3 so I'm lost!

Everything I find online involves converting everything to movieclips, however I can't get the dynamic text to load into a movieclip.The code that is loading the text into the text box is: (I don't know if that will help at all but I'm posting it anyways)

Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader (new URLRequest("About_Us.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);[code].......

Why is the quality of "static text" better than that of "dynamic text"??

*Both textboxes have "Anti-alias for readability".

I'm loading video in to the FLV Player I have on my site by using an external XML, via a comboBox. Standard stuff really, the user picks a film title from the drop down menu, and that film loads into the player. I also have a dynamic text field on the page, and I want this to also change when a new item is selected from the comboBox, so it displays a description of the film that is playing. The problem is, is that whatever I try, I can't get the words I want to appear in the dynamic text box.[code]...
