View 1 RepliesIm currently doing a quiz, which, after the user completes all the questions, displays the users score and depending on that score, a certain message ie
if (score<=2) {
Score_Msg.text =" That was poor!":
} else if (score<=5) {
Score_Msg.text = "You know a bit but not much";
}
In the text, i want to include a hyperlink. Is there anyway of making certain parts of dynamically loaded txt into a hyperlink?
I have a dynamically loaded text file. In this file I want to make a hyperlink, by adding the HTML code to the file. I wonder if it is possible to make that hyperlink do something in a Flash Movie (like got to a certain frame making certain levels visible or invisible).
I can't make a button in Flash, because the textfield is scrollable, and the button won't move with the loaded text (although, writing this it occurs to me , that it maybe possible; make the position of the button respond to the position of the scrollbar, mmm)
I 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 4 RepliesIs there any way to dynamically give a movieclip an instance name? This little process is gonna be spread out to a couple hundred dots, and while it's not really all that hard to type in the variable by hand (in fact it'd "only" take half an hour or so), but the more done dynamically the better, I think.
What I want to do is have a simple movie clip which checks it's own instance name as a variable, and then gotoAndPlay("thatvariable");. For example, say I have a movie clip with instance name "a1". On the clip I'd like to put
onClipEvent (load) {
this.gotoAndPlay(_root.a1); //but in place of "_root.a1",
I'd like to be able to call the instance name so that I can copy and paste the code to multiple movieclips without manually changing the name.
}
_root.a1 is a variable which contains the name of a frame inside of a1, so when you boil it down, it's just telling itself to gotoAndPlay("framename") in a roundabout way. Is this at all possible?
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
Code:
importXML = new XML();
importXML.ignoreWhite = true;
importXML.onLoad = function(success)

I'm externally loading text from a .txt file. I need to format that file using CSS. I've got the CSS file set up and everything. I've tried every tutorial I can find to try and load the CSS, but nothing is working.Here is the script for loading the text:
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("content_files/commissions.txt");
textLoader.load(textReq);textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadComplete);

View 3 RepliesI 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.

View 12 RepliesIs it possible to call different data from a same text file? In the tutorial about the dynamically loaded text, the example was "kirupatext=" and the text was loaded from after that in the txt file. Is it possible to make it stop loading after a certain point?
For example,
" kirupatext=
Hello There!
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=".
I found the following tutorials helpful, but now I want to combine them, but I don't know how.[URL]

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'.
View 1 RepliesI'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.

I have a dynamic text box (myText.text and services.text), that load different texts from different buttons. Below is the code for one of the buttons. Where it says... "here" I want to create a link that opens up a centred html file. Is there any coding that I can use?

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.

I followed this tutorial [URL] but I need to be able to make links within this text. I'd like to be able to add other HTML code to the text (bold, underline, etc.) but just being able to make hyperlinks from the .txt file would be great.

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;
