i used to dabble with flash a while ago and just getting back into it, i remembered there was a piece of action script that allows you to turn a box into something like a window that would load the text from a notepad file in the same directory as the .swf so once the .swf file has been uploaded and you want to change the text all you need to do with change the text in the notepad file.

View 5 RepliesI am making a random name chooser for a class (using an array to read from 28 names). I was wondering if it is possible for flash to read an array from a notepad file. [code]Is there a way to make it so that instead of having to edit the Fla file to edit the names, I can just make a notepad file with the array and _root.NumberOfStudents variable so that it can be edited from year to year easily?
View 3 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].............
pulling both a variable and an array from a text file (.txt). In my case I have the following:A flash file (.fla)A text file (named MyTxtFile.txt)Now, I just need to be able to pull an array from the txt file. Is it possible to do this? On the main timeline of my flash file I have the following:
Code:
MyArray= new Array("Pizza", "Cheese", "Fish");
_root.NumberofItems= 3;
My goal is to have the "MyArray" array in the text file so that I can edit the values from the txt file.Then I have a button on the main timeline ("Item_txt" is just a dynamic textbox in the flash file):
Code:
on(release) {
_root.Item_txt = _root.MyArray[random(_root.NumberofItems)]; }
I want to be able to update this file often, so I thought it would be handy to just "store" an array and a variable in a text file. Let's say in MyTxtFile.txt I had the array "MyArray" and the variable "NumberofItems". I could just update the information in the txt file and it would update the Flash file.
Edit: Would it be possible to store a string in a text file, then have that string put into a blank array? For example: If I had "cheese", "stars", "playdoh" in a text file and then I pulled the string into flash using the LoadVars class could I have the code in my time line set up like this:
Code:
_root.variable1 = "";
var ARRAY:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
ARRAY.onData = function(thetext:String) {
[code]....
