ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple If Else If With Dynamic Text?
Sep 5, 2007
Using Flash in CS3, actionscript v 2.0 What I want to do:User can open a text file, and answer 5 yes or no questions, then save the file.Those yes/no answers are loaded as dynamic text onto the stage inside a movieclip Depending on the answers, the navigation buttons will only go to the sections, (in this case, keyframes on the main timeline) that have a "yes" answer. Esentially, this would allow multiple navigation options, that are input dynamically from the text file.
Here is the actionscript that I have on one of the buttons. I realize that each button will have to be scripted indivudually, but I can't even get this one to work. It reads the "if" and the "else", but ignores the "else if" parts.Note that my dynamic text fields are named 1, 2, 3, and are inside the movie clipe "test_text" which is on the main timeline.
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.test_text.1 == "yes") {
gotoAndStop(25);
[code]....

I have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.

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..

i'm trying to load from one text file, formatted in the Shorts=blahblah&Standup=nownow&Tv=yaddayadda way to 3 text files with instance names of loadedInfo, loadedInfo2 and loadedInfo3 respectively, all are html text fields and need to link to frames (separate ones, but i'll get into that later... that's a little cart in front of the horse...). i am using this actionscript to call the files in:
[Code]...
and am getting a syntax error message for the first line, the myData=new LoadVars bit... i have tried multiple ways of doing the myData method and only errors. seems like others have had success with this.. any help? i've looked all over and have not found a solution...part 2, for brave souls. so, from the txt file i want to load into separate frames (either 2 iframes or an iframe and a dynamic text field).. nothing i've tried with this has been working either. i think this is more of an html formatting issue. tried to add a line of javascript, but flash wasn't having it.

After quite a bit of hair-pulling elsewhere on the web, I finally found "Loading Text from External Sources," which talks about loading multiple text files into a dynamic scrolling field.Url...Ok, got that to work great; now the problem I'm having is that my text is longer than the example.So when I click on my second text file, it loads scrolled to the same position as I scrolled to on the first text file.In other words, my text files aren't loading to the top of the dynamic text field...they're loading into the middle after the first button is clicked.

I have a result screen that shows bonus points and such. I want each text field to increment one after another and also have it increment by a certain amount each frame. Result Screen pops up. First is the player score check the player score, is it more than the score we want to display if the player score is greater than the player display score by 100 increase the player display score by 100 if the player score is greater than the player display score by 10 increase the player display score by 10 else increase the player display score by 1 when finished move to the next score...and so on. I have thought of using timers to move from one score to the next, but not being in an Event.ENTER_FRAME it only does one if then moves to the next one.
Also the if statement for incrementing the score looks ridiculous and I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do it. I was thinking of making it a separate function but then I wouldn't know what to return, or how to return it so it looks like its increasing and not just showing the total number instantly. I'll try to expand on it a little more.

I have a button (movieclip) that I want to make multiple instances of with different labels.I have a dynamic text field in the movieclip, and a second frame for the rollover state.I also created a dynamic text field for the rollover state and gave it the same instance name as the first one. Shouldn't it display the same text across both states?

My game is rather dependant on dynamic text fields, for giving players in game hints, signalling to them how far they've progressed (round/wave), how many points they've scored for destroying an enemy ect.
It's come to my attention that, the game lags whenever I update these dynamic text boxes. This happens particularly with the in game messages, (black glow filter) that fade in and out. Without any dynamic text messages at all, the game seems to run fine even on battery saving mode/slow computers.
Is there anyway to keep the dynamic text and get rid of the lag? I think I've tried all the different options for the textfields (I'm using CS4):Character Embedding Bitmap/Antialiazed text (Bitmap works slightly better) Multiline/single line Non selectable [URL]..

Is there a way for when you set the dynamic text to have multiple colors inside of it?
Like have a sub string for the first word, and make the blue... Then the rest of it is red?

I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?

I'd like to create a Hangman game, only instead of having the player enter a letter, I'd like to have 26 clickable buttons on the screen. Now, I could make 26 symbols, but that seems ridiculous when I could create a letter_button.as class and just create 26 instances of letter_button, where I can just do something like letter_button.letter_id to get the value.[code]...

I have two text fields, textL and textR, that read like a book with a specific height and width. Currently I have the external .txt/.php set up variables for each page. Example of book.txt :Code:&page1=Hi this is page one.&page2=And this is page two.I am looking for ideas on how to approach using just one variable which is split at the absolute end of textL with the rest of the variable or string loading into textR. Basically, automating the split of the text when it runs out of space in each field.

I am at work right now trying to create a power point for our Christmas party. I know I can do so much more with Flash than I can with any other power point program. Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to load a list of names into one dynamic text field that changes at certain time intervals. I'm using ActionScript 2 right now b/c I haven't learned 3, yet. Is there a way for Flash to access a word document and load a name say, every minute? I know I could add a different variable name in front of each employee name, like content, content1, content2, but I have a list of like 300 names here. That would take up almost as much time as it would creating a slide for each name in Power Point.

Or do I need something else?
Here's how far I've gotten in my solution, tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree. To begin, I created a button called "Letter_Button". It has a text field on it called "letter_text". It's a MovieClip and it links to Letter_Button.as

I have a question regarding ActionScript 3.0 and using buttons to change numeric values in a Flash project. I am trying to create a program that adds and subtracts numbers when buttons are clicked. Here is the code that I have written for the first button that I want to use:
Code:
//Number values//
var withdraw = 0;
Amount_total.text = withdraw;
[Code]....
However the problem I have is that the K200disp text only displays 1,2,5,10,15 etc while the Amount_total text seems to randomly display 200 or lots of 0s!

I have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking aboutAlso you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away. That's another problem...ugh.Here is code on maintimeline:

I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field. I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.

I have created an organizational chart for the company I work for displaying all current employees. Each contact is shown as a button that displays a 'popup' window on rollover. All of this works perfectly. What I want is to create an option to click on each button and the individuals email address be added to a dynamic text field at the bottom of the page.
Just to clarify, I am able to have text entered into the text field on each click, however, clicking on the next button removes the previous text. I want each click to create a new entry in a list. For example: "contact1; contact2; contact3;" etc etc. The end result would be for the user to copy all text (email addresses) from the dynamic text box and paste it into their Outlook "To" section.

i'm attempting to resolve a problem with targeting. i would like to target multiple iframes from a link that has been pulled into a flash document. basically, the link needs to load a title and an mov file. the mov file has to be loaded into an iframe, but the title could be loaded into another dynamic text field.. i'm using a text file that is loaded into a dynamic text field. the link within the text file currently looks like this:
<a href="video/AlzyGramp.mov" target="videowindow" onClick="parent.titles.location.href = 'alzy.html'; return true;">Alzy Gramps</a>
but it doesn't work. is there a problem with flash htmltext reading javascript? i even installed the flashjavascript gateway.
