ActionScript 2.0 :: [external Variables] Loading Textformats From .txt Files?

Jun 2, 2004

I want to make a small flash animation in which the user can specify what text and what font/color will be used throughout the animation, by typing in the text file.On with the code which is of interest:

Code:
//Mouse.hide();
since1_txt = "";
since2_txt = "";
thename = "";

[code]...

Of course, the movie clips contain this text and all works fine if I specify it this way.So I have this in my "actions" layer on the first frame and apart from the fact that it works if I specify the formatting within the actions, it's all good. But now comes the fact that I want to specify my textformat options within the text (.txt) file. So I'd specify two color sets (in RGB hexa sets, 0xFF0000 for example), the font (in this case, tahoma) and the three sizes, and have them assigned to myTextFormat's dynamically through loading, using, for example,

Code:

myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.align = left;
myTextFormat.color = theColor1;

[code]...

Which doesn't work because i can't seem to get the myTextFormat.font = Tahoma; to work if i use myTextFormat.font = theFont; because it is, perhaps, searching for a font called "theFont" instead of taking the reference to the variable within the text file.

Flash :: Loading / Unloading External SWF Using Buttons From Loaded External Files

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Variables/objects From External FLA Files?

Dec 1, 2010

I am trying to display in 'Reciever.swf' the value a shared object updated in 'TextSO.swf'. The following is my code for the Reciever

Reciever.as-----------------
package {

[Code]....

I am getting an error that says that 'text_so' is an undefined property and that I can't access it. Yes, I have not declared 'text_so' in 'Reciever.as'. However it is the shared object instance from the 'Text_SO.as' file. How do I reference it from the 'Reciever.as' so that I won't get this error anymore?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External .as Files?

I've been making a game using Adobe Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 on my desktop and it was working fine. I tried to transfer the folder containing the flash file and all of the .as files to my laptop via a jump drive and now, when I run the the swf, it doesn't appear to be loading any of my .as files. All of the files are still located in the same folder as my flash files and it still compiles and runs fine on my desktop.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pre-loading External Files?

Nov 3, 2011

It's been a while since I've posted here so I apologies if it's in the wrong place.

My ProblemI have a large (30mb) swf file created in InDesign. It's an interactive PDF. Now rather then allowing people to view it straight away and having to wait elements to load we'd like to pre-load it somehow.

I was wondering how I might go about building a preloader for this SWF file. I have limited knowledge of action script, and most of that was as2 rather then 3.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External .BMP Files?

Feb 12, 2006

I'm making an image catalogue for a client, and for reasons unknown to me my client insisted that the images be stored as binary data in a database. ( i know, i know....but they wouldnt' listen) Anywho, the format of these images is windows bitmap (.BMP). I've just found out that they want to be able to manipulate these images in flash. So i need to have actionscrip open these images.Since the images are stored in the db they have to be accessed via a php file like this: get_image.php?id=imageid.

This works fine for displaying the images in a browser as i just put the string inside an img tag so: <img src="get_image.php?id=someid"/>The thing is, I can't seem to get flash 8 to load these images via loadmovie. I've been able to load jpeg and gif files no problem, but can't seem to get these bmps to work. Adding to misery is that because there are going to be in the neighbourhood of 40,000 images, i dont' want to actually have the images saved locally.this is what i have, it works fine for jpegs and gifs:this.createEmptyMovieClip("pic", 1);pic.loadMovie("image1.gif");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External SWF Files?

Apr 15, 2010

I am trying to load an external SWF into my project, I am pretty sure that my code is fine but when I try to display the SWF all I get is an instance of my StartPage movie clip. The code for the loader does not mention or even any relation to this movieclip! I have the loader in a class file for a separate movieclip, but no matter where I put the code I get the same result. I cannot understand why this is happening!I tried loading the same external SWF into a different project, and it worked fine.Is this a common problem? I haven't managed to find anyone online with the same problem.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading The External Files?

May 2, 2005

on Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay, but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. Each of my buttons has this assigned

button6.onPress = function() {
my_mc.loadClip("file:///c:/flash pictures/picture6.jpg", "container");
};

and results in this error

Error opening URL "file:///c:/flash pictures/picture6.jpg"

What's the correct format for putting in a file path? This may be an immensely stupid question, but I'm new to this and totally confounded.
