I'm fairly new to action script so this might be me being simple but: I followed the Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text tutorial and added it to my flash movie and although it works perfectly in the tests and once published once it loads in the browser all I get is the word undefined at the top of the text box. I've searched all over for a solution but as I said my understanding of action script is fairly limited.
[Code]...
I followed the tutorial for Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text & its works well. The problem I am experiencing I have a limited about of space in my movie for the text box. The text file has all the data that I need to display but for some reason I only see a portion of the information & I can't seem to figure out my mistake.
View 9 RepliesI found the following tutorials helpful, but now I want to combine them, but I don't know how.[URL]
code for the scroller
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("answers.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
[code]....
Used the scroller at [URL] but is there some way to hide it when its not needed?
View 2 RepliesI have a text box which dynamically loads the information from a .txt file. I want to scroll the text, with buttons that I have made(not the component scroll bar that comes with Flash MX), up and down through the text I have. I've tried many different scripts, and none seem to work. Is there a good concise walkthrough for this anywhere?
View 7 RepliesIs there any way to alter the fonts and font sizes WITHIN the bulk of text?ie. If I wanted to have a header in one font, and the rest of the text in another.Rif I wanted to add a url hyperlink.I did a site for a friend, and used the dynamically loaded textboxes so he could update it himself by just changing the .txt file.At the moment all the scrolling textboxes are in one font. I would love to be able to change this, and even more, would love for my friend himself to be able to mix different fonts and update it himself
View 6 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to. An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found on a nice webpage I made, but I cannot post a proper link: www cryhavocguild com/actionscript php. Make sure to include the www as my flash file will only load the data with it (another problem). I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable. As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;
var maskHeight:Number = maskedView._height;

how to dynamically create a text box. Is it possible to dynamically create this box with scrolling capabilities? Do I need to dynamically attach a scrollbar component?
View 6 RepliesI have a dynamic text field within my site that I want to load in text from an external .txt file. I also want to add a scrollbar to this field so that you can have more text than can fit in the textbox at anyone time. I have found this AS3 code to load the external text (from my 'vacancies.txt' file) in to my text box (vacanciesbox_txt):
Code:
var my_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("vacancies.txt");
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
my_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadText);
my_loader.load(my_req);
function loadText(event:Event):void{
vacanciesbox_txt.text = my_loader.data;
}
This all works fine and the text is loaded in as I want - The problem I have is that when I add a UIscrollbar to the dynamic text field from the flash components, it doesn't display and/or work when published.
So this is my code so far. What I am trying to do is load the attribute of name into separate MC's that are clickable to then once clicked have the MC "txtBox" load what is in the attribute "link".As it stands now the name of the buttons is loading perfectly, but the trace is bringing back an undefined value

I am an example of text that has been loaded from a separate location on kirupa's server. Best of all, notice that you can scroll the contents of the text up and down by clicking on the arrows. This is a nice, useful feature that you can use on your site."
How can I make it load only up to "Best of all"? Is it possible to break up the text into 2 parts so that they are loaded by different text boxes? i tried adding another marker like "kirupatext2=" at another point, but it just gets loaded along with the first "kirupatext=".
Another problem for me with the dynamic scroller found on the Kirupa site: [URL] I can't figure out how to create URL links in the text. I tried selecting "render text as HTML" and added this to the .txt file: < a h ref=" mylink" > mylinkhere < / a> (without the spaces) but it just showed up 'as it'.

I have a set-up a movie to dynamically load text from a text file. Now I realize that I want to attach live links to some of the urls in the text file. My question is can you attach the links in a text file by putting html tags in there or is it better to turn the text file into an XML file with the tags in there?Also can you attach CSS styles to that text file.. for instance in addition to adding links to the text I would also like to change the color of the text.

This question relates to the gallery that I'm working on; basically, I am now trying to add text comments which change according to which button you press to the images. I know how to make this work by applying actionscript to each individual button, but I would like to put all of the actionscript on one layer, meaning that I would have to use the 'button.onRelease = function ()' operation instead of the 'on (release) { function" operation.The code is a variation of Kirupa's code for the tutorial on loading information from an XML, and the xml is his completely. Here it is so far:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
