View 4 RepliesWhen creating a new TextField dynamically, is there a property that automatically adjusts the width to the content or is it always necessary to have txt_field.width = ...?
My text field:
txt_field = new TextField();
txt_field.wordWrap=true;
txt_field.text = source;
txt_field.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

I would like to create a Flash menu but want to load HTML inside a targeted div on the same page dynamically without refreshing. I've seen several people say iframes can be used but I would prefer to stay away from iframes and use divs if possible. I'm guessing some fancy javascript would be required?

The dynamic text field in the dynamic movies is named eventText. This code in the for loop successfully creates 18 movies:

I'm starting with AS3, i have a problem. I have a button, and inside the button i have a dynamic text field. The button is inside of a movieclip, the instance name of it is News, the instance name of the button is collegamento and the instance name of the dynamic text is Testo. So knowing this I'm triyng to change the content of the text using:
News.collegamento.Testo.htmlText="text here";
But Flash is giving me this error:

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

View 1 Replieshow it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
View 2 RepliesThe 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].............
I am inputting text from an xml file into dynamic text boxes; I have static text boxes as titles of each.
making the dynamic text boxes expand if the xml text is of a larger size & moving the static text boxes so they don't start getting over written.
The code Ive used to put the text into the dynamic boxes is very simple:
var xmlData:XML = new XML ();var theURL_ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml");var loader_ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(theURL_ur);loader_ul.addEventListener("complete", fileLoaded);

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

View 8 RepliesI'm working on a project with a flex component that I designed in flash and exported as a swc. The moment I changed two of the text fields in the flex component to from static to dynamic text fields, my app started throwing an error when I create a new instance of the flex component. I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@1dddb179 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()

When I deleted the text fields from the stage and republished my game swc, it worked fine.
I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).
My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:
Computer 1 would have winner 1
Computer 2 would have winner 2
and so one........
Steps the code should do..
1. call function and load the "unique (name)." of the computer by going to ("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 1
2.then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
when i publish the file out there is no errors-
When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")
so my guess it is not seeing the path for new URLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");
or
new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash
