I have a main timeline with a series of buttons, the buttons were created and placed manually, I have a script to attach the code to the buttons, but iI can't get it to work! GRRRR!

How would i go about attaching 2 dynamic text box's ( textA and textB ) to a movie clip ( caption_mc ) using action script 2 ?
i have tried to convert the tooltip method from the carousel tutorial but there are 2 many other things going on to pin point the few lines of code i probably need to do this simple action.
I am trying to attach my movieclip bubble to my dynamic text field called caption but my code isn't working. Instead of displaying the caption in my XML i get this instead; "level0.main.bubble".
Code:
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
event.currentTarget.text_property;
caption.text = description[k]
caption.text =attachMovie("bubble","bubble",1);

I'm using XML to load text in dynamic textfields but want to attach a button to every field with a different link. How to position these buttons exactly behind the text fields and give them getURLs? I'm attaching the fla & here is the xml:
[Code]....
i need to add code to attached buttons
for(i=1; i<=6; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("niceButton", "niceButton"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x: 50 * i, _y: 50});

Here is the scenario. I have a AS2 flash game in the works. I have a vcam set up to follow the main character. It all works wonderfully. I have also attached a health bar movie clip to the vCam like so:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _root.char._x-200;
this._y = _root.char._y-210;
}
Basically I just attached it to the main character and it works in the Vcam nicely. It just stays on top left of screen. I would also like to attach 2 dynamic text fields to the vcam-character as well so the screen has a little hud. (you know, health bar, name, and health points on main screen no matter where character and vcam move. I can't add the same script from the health bar to the dynamic text because they are not movie clips, they are dynamic text which do not allow actionscript inside. So basically, I'm wondering how I can attach the dynamic text to the vcam? Can I do it in the main timeline and if I can how would I write it?

I am trying to defeat my psychological block with dynamically loaded fonts in AS3, and I have an annoying problem. I am creating a clock with a textfield and I am loading fonts from a SWF library: the available classes/linkages are "Arial", "ArialBold", "MyriadPro", "MyriadProBold" and "Verdana".This is the line where I get the class from the SWF, and it extracts the class correctly
Code:
clock = new Clock( { fontClass: assetsLoader.getFontClass("skin", "Arial") } );

I'm trying to make this guessing game where you have to guess how many times a penguin will bounce off the water surface before it sinks The way I'm planning to do it is kind of like this:
1.[Script telling textbox to add +1] >>
2.[Bounce animation] >>
3.[Script that randomly sends you to point 1, or 4] >>
4.[Ending animation]
Yeah, and right now I'm desperately trying to get that dynamic text field to work ...I've made a button with this code:
(The textbox is called "test")
on (release) {
test ++;
}
And on the first frame of the timeline I've added this:
stop();
point = 0;
I've tried changing names, tried adding "_root." (_root.test ...) nothing works!
im practicing on how to do websites in flash cs4 using AS3.0, so im doin a basic dynamic test website, all the codes seem to be fine because i dont get any compilers errors. but one Error that is driving me nuts is the Error #1009 which says.

I have a .swf that rotates through dynamically loaded images, like a banner of sorts. It secures the image names by loadVars-ing a text file. All this works fine and dandy on our test site -- everything functions flawlessy.
However, when we move the same set of files (same html page, same directory layout, same text file, same swf, same images) to another site, it doesn't work -- the swf runs, but it fails to load the images.
I'm told that this new site is on the same server, so it shouldn't be an issue of server settings.
I try to make a dynamicly loaded menu.I load four buttons to the stage and applie code to each of the buttons. But it's only the last button loaded, that responds to onRollOver/onRollOut If I roll over the other buttons it's the last buttons that reacts all the time.I just can't see what's wrong. Here's the code:
Code:
buttonCount = 4;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<buttonCount; i++) {
btnRef = "button"+i;

function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);

For some reason, my dynamic text wont work. There is only one keyframe for the text...
I have a little problem here, that I keep banging my head on for a few units now. It's fairly simple:rotate a dynamic text. Think of somekind of a quirky menu structure, with a circle in the middle and leaf-like menu items around it. I would like to rotate those, then it will look like a nifty flower-menu. Anyway, I cannot get the rotation to work. I've wandered around on the forums and Google already, and all point to the same thing. Embed a font, attach it and then rotate it. Well, I embedded the font 'Arial' in my library, linked it and called it 'Embed'. Then I create a TextFormat in AS3, use the name 'Embed', link it to my TextField and set the property embedFonts to true. All this goes fine, until I use that property. In the beginning you can still see my menu (only when it's not rotated, otherwise it disappears) and it's text, if I set embedFonts to true the text disappears.What am I forgetting or doing wrong, and is there perhaps an easier option?
View 7 RepliesSo I have made 7 movieclips on the stage that will act as buttons. I gave them all the instance name "port_BTN_0", port_BTN_1", ..., port_BTN_7".Then I will create movieclips as a child of those buttons that will act like imageholders. When the user rolls over the buttons, they will fade away. And here in the last command, it seems to fail.
Here is my code.

I'm having an issue where the browser will not tab to a dynamic text region. If I change the region to input, the tab works fine, but I don't want users to change the text in the region. It is just meant to be read aloud by screen readers.
View 2 RepliesWhat I have got is a stats bar called scores inside it. I have three dynamic text boxes I want to display the variables
_global.killed_global.money_global.toKill
So I assumed that i could just assign the variable to the box via the properties bar. No luck I then tried to have the mc called scores saying
this.moneyDisplay.text (name of dynamic box) = _global.money
Still no luck not sure what else to try. Most successful was assigning the variable but that only got me a 0 which was the starting variable what should I do?
I have a dynamic image scroller that scrolls right or left following where the mouse is. When you hover over the images, a pop-up box also appears with information. This scroller works perfectly fine within the mc scene, but once i drag the mc into the main timeline the mc doesn't smoothly scroll right or left. It's jumpy and the infobox doesn't work at all. How can I get it to work smoothly on the main timeline?

Where emptyc is a container in which I add content dynamically (i.e. by addChild method) doesn't work. It simply doesn't scroll at all.
Neither does work if I add content using scrollPane as a container itself (i.e.:

I've been struggling for hours to get a MovieClip button to work. Perhaps I'm trying to get too fancy, having animations planned between the proper button states, but right now I'm just having troubles trying to get the label for my button set dynamically using a dynamic text field. The error message I'm getting is: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property btnLabel through a reference with static type <class-path>:MenuButton. I created a MovieClip symbol pointing to my class MenuButton. The symbol has 5 layers:
1) Actions which just includes stops on each proper state (ie: normal, over, down).
2) The 5 button states (ie: normal, normalToOver, over, overToNormal, down).
3) The label that is the button's name, which is only a DynamicText field with the name btnLabel.
4) Images of the button in each of the proper states, with extra frames to allow for tweening
5) A layer I was hoping to use as a hit-box. My MenuButton class is defined as follows:

I cant get addChild to work withing a loop (while).
I have a range of movie clips in the frame hidden away. These are called item_1, item_2, item_3 etc.
It works FINE when Im adding say item_1, then item_2, but if the code tries to add "item_1" twice, it seems to just overwrite the first new "item_1"!?!
This is what I need to do, and it just wont work!
ActionScript Code:
while(i<10){
this["item_new_"+i] =new MovieClip();
this["item_1"].y = 0;//I put this in just to make sure they line up right

I want the to use the 'edit_pizza' or the 'add_pizza' function whether i am editing or add a new order. So i am checking if "aktOrder" is set (or filled because it is an array) and setting 'clickFunction' the name of the function.Afterwards i put that in the string which will be added to "windowText.htmlText" at the end. By tracing 'clickFunction' i see that it is 'add_pizza' which is right. But in the string it doesn't work.

View 2 RepliesIn a mc is a dynamic textfield, trough as this textfield gets his content. The textfield works fine and also the html text displays/works as supposed. No problem at all. But now I put a rollOver/Out on this mc with the textfield, the text shows up allright, but the html doesnt work anymore (I mean the hyperlinks, the rest is okay)
Code:
textmc.textarea.html = true;
textmc.textarea.htmlText = "<a href='[URL]'>link here</a>"
textmc.onRollOver = function() {
trace("hover on textfield");
};
textmc.onRollOut = function() {
trace("going off textfield");
};
So the problem is the rollOn/Out, if I comment out those functions everything is okay...

I read this tutorial on dynamic event handlers on this site. I am still LOST as to how they work [URL]. Things like :
