View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield that loads text from a txt file. The content of the txt file will be modified daily by the client.What i need is that if there is too much text in the txt file, the dynamic textfield resizes (and not only with autosize because the text can be really long).[code]it doesnt look very good but it works. The only problem is that if I have a really long text the maxsizeY doesnt work fine.

For some reason it only works by using the stop(); command. The problem is that this causes the animation not to automatically start when placed into an html page. The result I want is for the text to automatically begin to scroll.

View 1 RepliesI'm working with a flash template that loads external images and text using an xml file. Everything works well the only problem is I've promised a client that as well as a "title" and "description" I will also include a clickable URL link. I can edit the flash to a certain extent but I am having a nightmare of a time including a clickable url. Is there anyone out there who can help? "photo_description", "photo_title" and "photo_url" are the names of the dynamic text fields.
XML snippet looks a little like this...
<title>Title</title>
<description>Description</description>[code].....

I have on one file (player1.fla), a movie that plays MP3s from an array, which I specify in that movie. The code for that works just fine.I've duplicated the file and renamed it to a different one (player2.fla) so I could load the MP3s from a variable (array) on a text file. This way, to add more songs, all I would have to do is update the text file.
I changed the code around a tiny bit in the "player2.fla" file to accomodate for loading a text file, but nothing more.*My Problem* The text file loads properly and displays the Title of the mp3, but it won't play the mp3.The text file looks something like this: (just an example)
Code:
&songs=song1.mp3, song2.mp3, song3.mp3
&songTitles=my song1, my newer song, the third song
My script is very similar to this: (shortened; just an example)
Code:
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {[code]......

View 2 RepliesHow can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic text box that acquires text from a txt file.
Sometimes the text is greater than the text field so I want to be able to show a page up and page down button. However I do not want these displayed if the text does not exceed the field.
Currently the buttons are always displayed.
I understand how to get the text field info, I do not understand the "easy" bit of only loading the buttons if the text field size is exceeded.
