ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Ext Text In A Mc?
Sep 17, 2003
All i'm trying to do is load external text from a .txt file into a mc. I have everything named properly, and when i test it in flash (flash preview) it works fine. When I upload it to the server, the text won't load. I made sure the path is correct, but I feel like I'm missing something. I did this a few years ago, but I forgot the code, and don't have the .fla anymore.
Since the text is to be loaded into a mc that is in another mc, is the path different, or is it nested?

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.

in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..

I need help dynamically loading text from a server into a dynamic text box in my movie. If i use the loadVariables it works, with the Html rendering.. if i use it with loadVars it works but now the html doesn't render. What i want is to load some text from my server into the text box and have the html to render. Also, is there a way to display the progress as the text loads, for people with slower connections?

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;

this is should be pretty simple but I have had a lot of trouble figuring this out..
I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)
I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.
I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.
I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..

When 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 have a dynamic text box that is loading in a text file. It seems to be doing this perfectly well. However, some HTML tags seem to break it. <b> makes the text dissapear. I tried doing a <span> on it, and changing the font-family with CSS, but I dont think its reading the CSS at all.

I'm loading some external text dynamically. Before I've always added the text to a textbox which is already on the stage. Now I'm adding the textbox with actionscript too but it's cutting off the exterally loading text at the height of the textbox (I know this because I am scrolling the text). There must be some property of the textbox which I haven't setwhat it is?Btw, I don't want to just change the height of the textbox as I am loading in many different texts of different lengths and this is affecting the scrolling.

I have an xml that is laid out like so:
<rSurveys>
<survey>
<option>Tiger</option>
<option>Horse</option>
<option>Elephant</option>
[Code]...
it works up until the point when the code goes to execute the placeQuestion function in the last code I posted. the result is the options from the next <survey> set in the xml put on top of the first set. I thought I removed the first set.. I have been trying all different things to figure out what I have done wrong but I am submitting now to the forum for help. Do you see what I am doing wrong here?

I'm having a problem here with flash and xml. I have two swf's. The first one has a menu that is loaded from a xml and works great. And when I click the options into menu, it loads other swf (content) that also reads from a xml. So when I open the second swf (content) and only this one (standalone) it loads the text from the xml, but when a call it from the first swf menu, it shows,
"_level0.branco.container.conteudo.texto".

I need now is, to load it and format certain parts of it automatically.For example, I have a blog with lots of posts, and the posts are:
---------begin-------
TITLE
DATE
Content
----------end--------
And so, I need the title and the date to be one font, with different colors between them, and the content is another font, on a third color.I have to do this because I've been putting the posts directly inside flash, and they got so long after a while, that I can't have all of them on my screen at any one time, they exceeded flash's height limit...so, to edit the older ones, I need to keep scrolling everything up, which is a pain.

I've made a website in Flash, it's the 1st time I've made a site with dynamic loading text.The text loads, that is fine, however, when I update the .txt file, the webpage does not update until I delete my internet history. This obviously no use as I can't expect returning visitors to delete their cache every time they visit.

I've got a very simple file with a dynamic text box that I want an external XML file to load into. (FYI, the instance name of the text box is "output_txt" and the XML file is "articleInformation.xml")
//This creates a new instance of the URLrequest object with
//the path to the XML file.
var my_req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("articleInformation.xml");
//This creates a new instance of the loader object.
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I've been staring at this code for hours.... I have a xml docthat contains football scores that will load into my flashscoreboard. If the game has been postponed, there's a node calledstatus that is populated with the info, otherwise this node isblank. My function sets the visibility property of status1_txt tofalse if there is nothing in that node (undefined), otherwise itdisplays the data that is there. If the first node is undefined, itwill start out blank, the way it's supposed to. But the minute itpulls data into that text box, it doesn't go away until there'sother data to replace it. Seems like it's ignoring the first partof my if statement.
