ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Text Into Externally Loaded Swf?
Jan 15, 2009
when I press a button, the text loads into the still visible imageArea_mc text area.When a button is clicked, I have external swfs which contain 2 dynamic text boxes, named heading_txt and content_txt, loading into my main movie. They are receiving their data dynamically from an XML file. The problem I am having is that as soon as the button is clicked, the new data loads into the still visible text boxes. What I want to do (I think) is somehow tell the main movie to assign the appropriate text for each individual movie.
ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
myXML.onLoad=function(ok){

All of which have to do with this website: [URL] 1) First off, is there any way to pre-load externally loaded .jpg's so that there is no time delay between each background image?

i have a dynamic text field in an externally loaded swf. Its a digital clock so i want the numbers to update in the dynamic text field.this is not my exact code but it is very similar. i show below that i add the loader.swf, and once its loading is complete, i can work on its movieclips and add event listeners to its buttons, etc. but i cannot change the dynamic text field (its "classic text" set to "dynamic text"). after running this, the text just stays empty as it is in the external swf).here is the sample code:-
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("loader.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);

I have a swf with dynamic text field that loads external text. One frame only. i am trying to monitor loading progress of external txt file but i can not. Preloader just does not show anything but when it is fully loaded it just displays 100%. I usually do not have any problems with preloading swf. Here is my code and if you can tell me what is wrong that would be great. t googled for solution but i mosty found general preloading problems (not for external text)
ActionScript Code:
var textName:String = "test.txt";
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest( textName);

I am using Flash CS3. I have a dynamic text box that scrolls text loaded from an external txt file (made in Notepad).
I was wondering if there is a way that I could better control the style (color, font size, bold, paragraph breaks, etc) of the text?? I know that in flash I can specify the font type, size and alignment. But I want to also make some parts of the text BOLD and DIFFERENT COLORS. Perhaps I can use html tags within Notepad to do this?? If so, HOW??...beacuse I have tryed and it didn't work....the tags just showed up in the flash file along with the text, it didn't read them as html (and yes, I set my dynamic text box to render html).[code]...

I'm creating a Flash portfolio, and all work I have done are displayed as thumbnails which are externally loaded images. On rollover, I want to display the works title. How would I place this text OVER image? At the moment, the loaded image is on top of everything, even text I attach on rollover.

I'm making a site using only flash. So far I'm using preloaders for all of my external content.I need a preloader for text (externally loaded from an XML). The text is formated as HTML and it will have lots of pictures. I'm worried that if I leave it without a preloader, the pictures won't appear.

I am trying to format externally loaded text into a Flash file, I realise I can use CSS but both the heading and body text use different obscure fonts, anyone know how to do this so the external text can be in one file? Or do I need to load heading and body text separately? And format the actual Text Fields in Flash by embedding the fonts?

I have an external swf file 'testSWF'loaded into a UILoader 'myLoader2'. The external swf has a textfield 'myText'. I want to retrieve the text from this external swf textfield into another textfield 'parentTextField' in my parent flash file. I can't work out how to do it, and I can't find a simple example.

I have a dynamic text field within my site that I want to load in text from an external .txt file. I also want to add a scrollbar to this field so that you can have more text than can fit in the textbox at anyone time. I have found this AS3 code to load the external text (from my 'vacancies.txt' file) in to my text box (vacanciesbox_txt):
Code:
var my_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("vacancies.txt");
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
my_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadText);
my_loader.load(my_req);
function loadText(event:Event):void{
vacanciesbox_txt.text = my_loader.data;
}
This all works fine and the text is loaded in as I want - The problem I have is that when I add a UIscrollbar to the dynamic text field from the flash components, it doesn't display and/or work when published.

I need a text box to change height according to an externally loaded number.
ActionScript Code:
homeText = new LoadVars();
homeText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[Code]....
This should set _root.contentMain.home_txt (the text box) to 400 height right?
Why is it not changing the height to 400?
trace (nmbr); does show 400

So, I have some HTML text loaded from a text file into a dynamic text field and I'm using an embedded font to display that text.
What I would like is to get that embedded font to show the italic tagg or underline, etc... the manual say they are supported and they do work when I don't embed a font but use a standard "arial" or whatever... When I use the embedded font, the HTML tags don't work anymore, besides the one to make links... I can understand why the italic or bold don't work since I did not embed those ones and I don't see how I could assign 3 fonts to the same text field anyway... But I thought the color or underligned would work... Anyway, when I embed the fonts, I get all kind of strange buggy behaviors (like, sometimes the text doesn't wrap inside the text field box even though it's specified in the actionscript style defnition, but sometimes it does...)Is there a way to embed fonts, not within flash, but within the HTML text itself? I mean, is there a technology that allows HTML document to display fonts that are on the server's computer instead of the computer viewing the page? So I could bypass Flash embedding the font for the HTML alltogether.

I have made a movie that load text from an external text file and styles it using an external CSS sheet. Everything is running properly except that the links sometimes "jump" when I move my mouse over them.
Here's a link to the file, try and move you mouse over the "aliquet" link (red underlines text) towards the middle of the text: [URL]

I've been trying to get this actionscript 2.0 to work on more than one movieclip. It works fine on the one object:
[Code]...
When I try to add the code to other objects it only works on one. So can anyone explain to me how I can apply the code to multiple objects? I want more than just one object to rollover glow. Also, can it work on externally loading text moveclips (ie movieclip_mc.myText01_txt)?

I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?

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.

I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?

I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!
var currentpage:uint = 0;
//one loader object per project:
var loadingobject1:Loader = new Loader();
loadingobject1.x = 445;

I have my MAIN FLASH WEBSITE that loads a PROFILE section which is a separate SWF file.Inside the profile.swf, I have the sub nav button 'experience' dynamically pulling a text file into my text box.If you view the 'profile.swf' file alone, the text is being pulled fine.However, If you view the MAIN FLASH WEBSITE, choose 'Profile' link, then 'Experience' Link. The text box DOES load the text, but you can't SEE it. You can tell it is loading the text files because the scroll bar becomes active, and I can cut and paste the invisible text into my notepad program.Why is my text invisible?Here is my Sub navigation code for the 'experience' button located on 'profile.swf':

on (release) {
loadText = new loadVars();

i'm having some "big" issues with what seems like a pretty easy flash concept. But, im pretty green when it comes to coding in flash.
I have a SWF thats being externally loaded into another SWF file (see code below):
on(release) {
loadMovie("test1.swf",_root.dropZone);
}
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.

I'm loading swf's via an XML file. I'm wanting them to be added onto the stage in the same order that they appear in the XML. The problem that I'm having is that they are added to the stage only when they are fully loaded.
This is my xml (_config.xml)

This question relates to the gallery that I'm working on; basically, I am now trying to add text comments which change according to which button you press to the images. I know how to make this work by applying actionscript to each individual button, but I would like to put all of the actionscript on one layer, meaning that I would have to use the 'button.onRelease = function ()' operation instead of the 'on (release) { function" operation.The code is a variation of Kirupa's code for the tutorial on loading information from an XML, and the xml is his completely. Here it is so far:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
