Someth. do I wrong :rolleyes: I tested it simply with this code and the textfield aslo displays only the last index c even if the array has content a,b,c and trace() outputs abc :confused:
Code:
var a:Array = new Array ();
var myArray:Array = new Array ("a", "b", "c");
for (i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
[Code]...
The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

View 3 RepliesI have read the tutorial called "loading text from external sources"(with 3 buttons loading 3 different texts) . I tried it but when I click right on the button, it says "cannot place actionscript directly on an object" Must the different buttons be on different layers?(In my project, they are on the last page of my site)
View 10 RepliesWhen a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

View 5 RepliesI'm using C3S Flash and working in a button. The text on the button is set to 'dynamic' and I'm trying to display an array value in the 'var' field.
Is there any way I can use an array value in a dynamic text field? I can display the entire array by putting the 'menuarray' name into the text 'var' field, but if I try to display a subset of the array like 'menuarray[0][1]' it displays nothing, even though this subset holds a value (it shows up fine in the trace window).
Is there any way to get around creating dozens of variables just to display array items?

View 2 RepliesThe problem I'm having with my simple flash program is, the array doesn't seem to care what I put in my text field it just generate one item. The idea is that you will get the number of oranges on the screen that you put in the text field. Once you click them all you will goto the win frame.

I've been looking everywhere and I can't figure this out. I want an empty text entry box, where you type in a word and hit enter. When you hit enter, it adds this word to an array. The array shouldn't have a limit of the number of words allowed.
View 7 RepliesI am an educator and I am designing an interactive activity for my students. I created two buttons named baby_B and baby_G, and an input textfield named text_entry. When a student presses baby_B, the letter "B" is entered into the input text field; if a student presses baby_G, the letter "G" is entered into the input text field.For a student's solution to the input text field to be correct, it has to contain values BBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, GGB, GBG, GBB, and GGG in any order. I created an array named solution_S with these values. I also have an enter the solution button named enter_btn. The student can check their solution by pressing the enter_btn button; if the input textfield is correct, the quiz moves on to the next frame in my timeline; if it is incorrect, it moves to a different frame in my timeline.
stop();
baby_B.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, letterB);

loading xml into flash. I made a flash test for work, but I loaded the text the hard way by doing this: loadVariables("text/testQ/36/question36.txt", this); loadVariables("text/testQ/36/answer36.txt", this); Each Question and each answer are in its on folder which makes a total of 40 folders. Is it way to load the text in each field by using xml? I was think of doing like this File names is test.xml

I would like to be able to dynamically populate a dynamictext field (assuming that's the best component to use) with anarray of data from PHP.I have attached my PHP code and my Flash Code.The PHP code is working fine and generating the array.The first part of the AS code is working as I can see thepop-up window with the PHP array in it. However, I can't figure outhow to get the array to display in the dynamic text box.I have created a dynamic text box in flash with nothing inthe 'instance name' box and 'events' in the var box.
View 1 RepliesI would like to be able to push a text field's value into an array on a button click, then have that array populate a data grid. I'm kind of new to flex and was wondering if someone could point me in a direction or show me how to do this.
View 1 RepliesOk.. so here's the basics of the code:
ActionScript Code:
var stackNum:TextField = new TextField();
stackNum.everythingcondensedhere = everythingcondensedhere
stackNum.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;
[Code]....
It creates a textfield (and an image, but not important) and a movieclip, adds the MC to the stage and adds the image(itemLoader) and the textfield(stackNum).
And then it adds it to an array at [x][y].
Then later it calls the .stackSize, adds 1 to it, and tries to update the textfield.
Everything works except for updating the textfield, I just can't figure out what I need to use to point to it and have it change.
Is it possible to change the way a array element displays in a dynamic text field. example this is the code i was given for flash AS2 lash 8

What I would like is to make the first two items off the array "Gen 1 Fail" and "Warning level 2" red text and warning three and four amber text and "end of list " white is this possible? I have looked at the string class but there does not seem to be a color property and text format seems to change the whole text field.
i tried:
dyntxt.htmText="Test <img src='image/pic/laugh.gif' id='laugh1'> !!";
But nothing is being embedded, except "Test !!".
I've got an input box within a movie clip that will store several paragraphs of text. I'd like to store the text entered into this box into a MySQL Database using PHP (which I've found several helpful tutorials for) but I'd also like to load this same text into the input box to avoid the text from being lost if the browser gets closed.
So is it possible to dynamically load text into an input field from, say, a Flash variable? If so, can anyone give me a short code example or at least some tips as to where I can find out how to do something like this?
how do I load one word into a text field using actionscript. I don't want to load it from a xml file, or an external file, just from a frame on the time line.

View 4 RepliesCurrently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
I have a detailed results page to which I want to post all the questions, answers, and whether the user answered correctly or incorrectly. All this information is stored in a multidimensional array and its successfully showing the results via the trace method.
My question is, what is the syntax for populating a dynamic text field with these results? Do I just write out one long line of AS with the newline command to separate the data? How would I go about applying bold to certain parts of the stored data that I will be showing?
Here is current code for my detailed results page:
function showResults(){
trace("Now showing results");
for(var i:Number = 0; i < NumberOfChallenges; i++){ //This calls the length of the original array (not the spliced copy)

I am trying to grab a string that is loaded into my dynamic text field and use it as a variable.
The text field is populated when another button is pressed first which says input_txt.text = "myInput"

trace(input);

I get "undefined" as my output
I have a zoomable map which will have different locations which you click on and then load the details for that location in a dynamic text box..problem being I cannot get my script to work at all as I need it to relative to each button(location)

mytext = new LoadVars();
mytext.text = content;

mytext is the dynamic text field

I'm having trouble with correctly implementing an input text field where the user can enter a URL that will open a new browser. Right now it IS working: enter URL, press enter, the browser opens the website... but only on the FIRST run-through. Once anything else is entered into the field, another browser window opens, but only goes to the default homepageI am stumped as to why this is occurring.My code is probably quite messy, too.
