ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Textbox On Which The "showtext" Variable Is Assigned?
Oct 11, 2003
here's what I'm talking about Here is the FLA file I have three checkboxes (not mx components) and a dynamic textbox on which the "showtext" variable is assigned. I want the dynamic text box to display the labels attached to checkboxes when they return a value of 1 : (box one is checked, box2 isn't so the label doesn't appear, and so forth.)
I figured I need to use an array for the checkbox labels. I probably need a loop that verifies which checkboxes are checked (value=1). and use an array to combine the checked boxes with their respective label.
OK, I have my php and MySQL working fine. I'm pulling the data. I found how to format the data that is returned in the php as XML. My problem is I can't get my Flash textbox to load the variable from the php file. Like most things, this is probably very easy if you know how.My flash dynamic textbox is given the variable name topTeacher. From what I understand, I don't need to worry about an instance name.My php file looks like this:
<?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die('Could not connect to server');
i recently made a streaming mp3 player in flash. im pleased with my work, but i have one problem. i wanted to add a way to download the song that is currently playing. im using xml as the playlist. right now, i have:
My employer is making a flash card and they want to customize it by passing a variable in the url that links to the card in order to fill in a dynamic text box.So the URL will have ?me=Bob on the end to but Bob's name inside the card.I've done this for them in the past but that was AS2 and I'm trying to use AS3 for this card. oward a code snippet or tutorial on the best way to accomplish this. If we could use an embedded font that would be a bonus.
I've written a class in AS2 that extends the Object class It's an abstract class for debugging purposes. The class is defined in an external .as file. The problem is that in an .fla file, after I assigned a variable to a new instance of the class, and I trace that variable, it comes back as 'undefined' The reason it's a problem is that I want to call methods on the instance of the Debug objectIn the .fla, I have the following code:
//import any external classes import Debug; //Create general application properties
I need a way to wait running the parseCSV command until the readFile event has updated the content of importData. I have seen a few things about custom event dispatchers but cannot quite figure out how to use them in my situation.
private var importData : String; public function importFile(event:MouseEvent):void { var data:String = chooseFile(); parseCSV(importData);
I have different textarea in a application and these have different Ids, once user move cursor inside in the specific textarea, delete button activate and it execute a function to remove this item, the Id of the textarea assigned as string variable, In this case how could i delete the component from Canvas
I've used similar code to this before in another project, but for some reason it's not working here: Code: var current:MovieClip; menu01.menuslide.arch.onRelease = function() { if (current != null) { Tweener.addTween(current, {_y:0, time:.5, transition:"easeOutExpo"}); Tweener.addTween(menu01.menuslide, {_x:0, time:1, transition:"easeOutExpo"}); [Code] .....
I need to assign a value equivalent to the name of the button that is being pushed to the variable 'current'. when I trace 'current', I get 'undefined'. I used this in the past in this way below and it worked: Code: a2.onRelease = function() { if (current != null) { current._alpha = 0; current.removeMovieClip(); attachMovie("002", "box002", 10, {_x: 0, _y: 30}); [Code] ..... Why the first code block isn't working?
When I use a Mouse Event listener with the trace function trace (e.target.name), why don't I get the instance name I assigned in the property panel? Instead I get something like "instance 12". How can I target Mouse Events using the names I assgn?
I have written the following to send variables to PHP which searches a MySQL database and returns the results in XML. However I cannot get the XML data loaded into the assigned Movie Clips. I think the problem might be somewhere in the URLLoader. var imageDir:String = "Images/"; var getImage:XML; var imageList = new Array(); var newPic:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var thumbnailGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var loadGallery:String = "getImage.php"; [Code] ..... The remaining script (not included) handles the loaded data but is there an obvious problem I have overlooked in the above?
I am tring to create a simple mine game..so I created a couple movie clips one of which is to be assigned a value of "0" and the other is to be assigned a value of "1" randomly. That is if the one on the left has "0" the other should have "1" and that if I click the one having "0" value ,let it explode or do something..The problem is that I am not sure how to use "onClipEvent(enterFrame)" and on(press).. I named my MCs as "mcleft1" and "mcright
I am getting all data from the database through asp using loadVariableNum("get.asp",0,"GET") in a text box named xx.now i want to split it into further variables for manipulations. but i can't get the value from the textbox xx.i tried
Basically I want to define a variable in a movieclip and then display that in a textbox outside of the movieclip. To be a little more specific I want to make a variable be false and then when a movieclip gets to a certain frame the variable is set to be true. The true will then be displayed in a textbox on the main timeline.
I have a php script that calls a result from the DB and gives it a variable. I then have a dynamic text box in flash that I want to say "goto read.php, find the variable and display the variable's contents in this text box"...
I've been working with Flash for over 3 years, but I can't figure this one out. I've got a body of text, half of which are bulleted points designated by <li></li>. It's loaded into a html-ised dynamic textbox.
[Code]....
It displays fine as is. However, if I make the box selectable, and select any part of the bulleted list, the ENTIRE body of text turns into a giant bulleted list, including the non-bulleted portion at the beginning. I've managed to replicate this bug with Flash 8 and CS3, using a variety of flas made from scratch.
goal: Have a text box called "myText" update with the name of an instance that is clicked.Right now I have an instance of myText dynamically on the stage as an added childI also have seven instances of a building that all have individual instance names, bldg1,bldg2, bldg3, etc.I have created a variable called buildings: I also have a for each that makes the bldgNames the same as the buildings array.The problem arises when I want to click on the building and have the myText update with the actual building name (as described in my "trace"my code below.I would like, for example, when I click on the box that is entitled "Building 3" for the myText to read "bldg3".the whole code is:
Code: var myFont = new CenturyGothic(); var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
In the attached CS4 file I have attempted to have a button evaluate whether a variable (textbox) is equal to a number. If so, I want another textbox to say "correct" or trace "correct" either way. However, it doesnt appear to be evaluating the variable. I receive the "correct" trace everytime the button is released.
I tried to upload the file but it is too large. The code in the button is as follows:
on (release){ if (phoneNumber == "911"); trace ("correct"); }
I have a textbox entitled numbers, in which the user presses buttons and the number is added to the textbox. The same textbox has a variable assigned to it entitled phonenumber. When the talk button is pressed the code above should check the variable to see if it == 911. However no matter what I enter into the textbox, the trace always pops up and says correct.
I would like to pass a value from a text box on stage as the URL or filename to the NetStream.play() argument. example:
var url:String = url_text.text; var conn:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); conn.connect(null);
[Code].....
The point of the matter is that I'm pulling the values from JavaScript/HTML using the ExternalInterface which changes as the user selects next on a HTML page. The page name (URL) is being parsed and passed back as the video filename. I'm using the text boxes currently just to test/view the values being received and sent to JavaScript. The value send and receive fine, I just can not seem to pass the value into the NetStream.play(JavaScriptValue).
function getTextFromJavaScript(str:String):void { sending_ti.text = str; var jsArgument:String = sending_ti.text;
What I'm after is either loading an asp page with variables or connecting to an SQL database in order to pull out some values to display in a flash movie. When we have is a daily food menu, which I want to display in flash using a dynamic text box. Looking around on the internet, I believe that I can either pull it from the SQL database, or load an ASP page and pull the variables from there.
I have a sort of login, where you enter four digits, if correct you go to another frame. If incorrect you'll have an mc displayed. Easy stuff. Now I have a keypad where you punch the numbers in, and they display inside a dynamic textbox. I have a clearkey mc that I'd like to have operational. My initial thoughts were to use atm.textfield.text == "" that way it'd clear it. Nope, no luck. Any ideas on how to reset a dynamic textbox to blank?
For my problem, i using 5 random generated number and display it in a dynamic textbox, then i computed the 5 number using a formula and put the result in another dynamic textbox (name it as text_string). Then i create a button that function as to read the value in the text_string text box, for example, if the number is 5 then gotosomewhere, else terminated. Therefore, no matter what the result is the flash still terminated, it seems that the button unable to read the value in the text_string text box.
This is my code: var newNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2); var newNumber2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2);
I have a dynamic multiline text box txt1(instence Name) which get the data form xml file.
i have other two textboxes instence Name txt2 and txt3 i want that the first line (only first line) show in the txt2 and rest of the contents in txt1 show in the txt3.
I am trying to load data from an XML file to a dynamic textbox but only on a certain condition. I have tried both switch cases and if statements but they do not seem to work. When I play my SWF file WITHOUT using an if statement or switch case and just use:
my_xml = new XML(); my_xml.load("filmTimes.xml"); my_xml.onLoad = my_function;
[code]....
everything works fine. But when I place an if statement around it (if (day.text == "Sunday") ) then nothing happens at all and no syntax errors occurr either.
Right now I'm us Flash CS4 and creating a flash program in AS3. After a certain frame the dynamic text boxes that I have set up refuse to display text when required. I've gone over every line of code and every possible set up and I can't understand why it will not work. I've made sure all the dynamic text boxes have the instance names properly in place naming them all "talkBox". I've made sure all the code is written properly talkBox.text = "Insert Text Here!" There should be absolutely no reason in the world why the dynamic text boxes shouldn't be working.
