ActionScript 2.0 :: Load External Text Into Flash?
Aug 7, 2006
I'm creating a site for someone who wants to update their news section, however they want the whole site done in flash. I've seen some stuff out there for xml & using .txt files, however i dont think they will fully understand this concept and instead bug the hell out of me for ever and a day.
Is there any way i can load text from say an html file (with them using a wysiwyg editor) or Word (and saving as html) and have that displayed in the window?The other option i guess may be php based, having them use a blog and that goes directly into the space but i have no idea how to do that or which blogs to use (that have been tried, tested and are child proof).

I want to constantly reload data from a text file on a website, and make that data the .x property of a movieclip. Like this: movieclip.x = int(externallyLoadedData);I know how to do this, but I want it so I can ftp rewrite the text file with a different number, and the flash movie updates live without having to refresh/restart. How would I do this?

How do I wait for an external .txt file to load in ActionScript 3? If I use URLLoader, I have no guarantee that the file has loaded, since it dispatches an event when it's complete. I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.

Alright, so may be I'm an idiot but after playing with this code for hours I'm unsuccessful in getting this to work.All I want to do is load external text into a text box when I click on a button. I'm trying to execute this in AS3. I know how to do this in AS2 but I need to start working in AS3. Here is the code I've been using and keep getting errors.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("testText.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadIt);

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
loadVariables("about.txt", "this");
about_us.text = about;

I know how to load external text, but I am trying to have it load into a masked movie clip so then I can use a custom scroller to scroll the text up and down. The problem is that I can't get the scrollbar to scroll the text at all. If I just put in type in text into the movie clip, it scrolls fine. I have checked my paths and everything is correct...

I know how to load external text files in AS3 but I want the user to be able to do it from within my excited swf file. The obvious way to do this is to load the text file using a string from a dynamic text field (e.g: "myfile/myTextFeild.txt") but i want it to be more user friendly.If you click file open in Microsoft word, for example, you get the user friendly open box where you can find the file you want to load by browsing through your hard-drive.

I'm trying to load text dynamically with an external.txt file. This works fine. The problem is formatting the test. For some reason, loading the text from an external file has complicated things a bit. Nothing formats the way I want it to...the text size doesn't even change.When I started with this movie, I had my copy in a string in the AS code and was able to format the text color, font, size, textbox width and height as well. No problems. That's issue #1.
Issue #2 : you'll notice I'm using the greensock classes to animate a movieclip (also has text in it). I'm using a mask layer over the MC. When I try running the movie, my animation works fine, but none of my text loads...and it doesn't matter if it's a text string in the code or an external text doc. I was told that I need to embed the font..which I have the code for, as you'll see below..but it did nothing.
Code:
import gs.*;
import gs.easing.*
import gs.utils.TransformMatrixProxy;

Everything works perfectly on my computer. And it all worked perfectly on a previous website.
Now, for some reason, when I load these onto my website, the text fields show 'Undefined'.[code]...
