ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable To Dynamic Text Box?
Oct 7, 2009
I am trying to complete a project (not school work).This is the point that i am at, and i probably need specific spoon feeding as i am obviously missing a piece.code in frame one of flash:
Code:
stop();
myVars = new LoadVars();[code]............
I am not sure how to code this as pairs and like i said the only ones i need to be transferred are the substance and sum.

The following code, when attached to the MC panTracker_mc works as desired, passing the value of the dynamic text field with a VARIABLE name of s1Pan to s1 sound object, thus controlling the pan.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
s1Pan = Math.round(_root._xmouse/2.5)-100;
_root.s1.setPan(s1Pan);

I know this is pretty simple but all that I have read doesn't make much sense to me. I have one swf calling another swf that I have embedded into an htnl. In other words just calling another html page in a seperate window. In one.swf (runing in broswer) I use the below to call another html page passing the variable NewLessonArray. This contains an array of completed chapters.
[Code]...
All that is returned that I can see is object Object. But since I am passing on a address line into another swf embedded in a html page I am unable to determine that correct syntac for retrieving the information.

I have two separate text input fields (line1 and line2) that I want to pass their contents to two dynamic text fields (result1 and result2) within the same frame. line1 ---> result1line2 ---> result2I would like to do this so that when you type in the text it updates at the same time as you type).

What is the difference between both:
Below one is working
ActionScript Code:

Below one is not working, but as I need this kind of solution with variable =
ActionScript Code:
var arrVertrek = [myDropDownText,arrCity25000[0],arr26000[0],arr26220[0]];

On my stage I have a dynamic text field (instance name = lives).
In my actionscript I have created a number variable called livesnum. And then beneath that I'm setting the textfields value to be the livesnum variable but I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
My actionscript is as follows :
var livesnum:Number = 4; //Amount of lives
lives.text = livesnum;
How would I achieve setting the textfield as the numeric value of the variable?

can't figure out why the dynamic text boxes in my dynamic clip arent picking up the variable when I loop through this recordset!the trace (you'll see here right after I try two ways to assign the variable) traces the correct info back..

I have a movie clip and in that movie clip there is a dynamic text box. I want that text box to display a dynamic variable name something like:
Quote:
_root.var_[this._name]
so the variable will be _root._var plus what ever the instance name of the movie clip it's in is, how can i do this?

i'm pulling my hair over this. i have sucessfully (verified) loaded an xml file and can trace the data i'd like to pass. i am loading the external swf into an empty mc called X. in the external swf i am loading is a mc and in there is a dynamic textfield. i give the content of the xml to the path to the dynamic textfield and nothing happens. trying to pass the variable with: target.text = content;
i listed the variables and objects in the test movie debug option (command+enter) and i can see the dynamic text box variable. then i took copied the path from the output window to my actionscript, replaced _level0 with _root but still to no avail. what am i doing wrong? do i have to publish the swf being loaded in a certain way? why am i able to look at the variables in the debug list variables and objects option, but not in the actionscript?

I am trying to pass information to a many dynamic text fields when rolling over various movieclips that are generated using a loop. I have tried everything I know but can not get pahting to work prpoerly. The rollover works in that the curser changes by does not execute the lines of code within the in line function.(see red, bolded text (towards bottom) for problem). the Attached zipped swf is what it looks like as is.
Code:
//how many floors are there in the building?
var floors:Number = 25;

I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:
[Code]....
However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<

Just starting out and really being trying to learn some game making basics etc but seem to be stuck on displaying some text.
If I have a dynamic text box with instance name "instance" and this is placed on stage. I have no problem making this read as my variable using this code:
Code:
function onLoad()
{_root.instance.text = variable};
when I have dynamic text within a movie clip and this movieclip is brought to the stage using attachMovie.
To clarify what I mean, I have a movie clip of an emeny zombie named EnemyZombie, inside this movie clip is a text box to show it's HP (ie, it's health left over), the text box has instance name EnemyZombieHP.
Now, I use this code in the onEnterFrame function to spawn a new zombie ever few seconds:
Code:
//Adds 1 to the timer
enemyTimer = enemyTimer + 1;
//Adds new enemy to the stage every 2 seconds (60 frames)
[Code].....
This spawns the enemies as I wish but i'm stuck on how to make each one spawn with the EnemyZombieHP text reading the variable hp which I definded as 10 earlier.

This could seem like a real easy noob question but I am trying to write a variable 'gcouter' to my dynamic textfield. I am converting it to a string but still nothing appears in the textfield. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Could someone please check out my code and point out the "blindingly obvious: that I do not see right now???
BTW I have not externalised my script/classes as its been a while since i did this and I'm still thinking timelines like AS2 so please forgive that part. The project timeline is pretty short and I wasted alot of time trying to get it to work with as files and document classes. Here is the code (it's for a simple click to spot game and gcounter purpose should be obvious):

I know how do this this, I'm just wondering....
Why is the quality of "static text" better than that of "dynamic text"??
The dynamic text (loaded through a variable) looks jagged. Not horrible, but noticably different from the clean, static text.
*Both textboxes have "Anti-alias for readability".

Having a problem with a Flash/ASP/Database project.I've seen tutorials that pulls address book listings dynamically from the DB. When you hit "next" button it just populates dynamic text fields with variable names like "name" "address" with the appropriate info. Problem I'm having is.. what if you want to display all the entries on the same screen.If the variable names on the dynamic text fields are hard coded named "name" "address" "phone number" etc. , how can the second set of info display underneath the first one properly and not just pull the same text from the first record into the text fields? (name2, address2, etc.)
Is there a way to dynamically change the variable name of a dynamic text field? I'm thinking you should be able to have it note how many records there are, then loop until it reaches the end of the record set. So, can the variable names be dynamic so it will populate the text fields with the appropriate info?

What I have got is a stats bar called scores inside it. I have three dynamic text boxes I want to display the variables
_global.killed_global.money_global.toKill
So I assumed that i could just assign the variable to the box via the properties bar. No luck I then tried to have the mc called scores saying
this.moneyDisplay.text (name of dynamic box) = _global.money
Still no luck not sure what else to try. Most successful was assigning the variable but that only got me a 0 which was the starting variable what should I do?

I am trying to grab a string that is loaded into my dynamic text field and use it as a variable.
The text field is populated when another button is pressed first which says input_txt.text = "myInput"
...I gave my dynamic text field the instance name input_txt
So I wrote out (on a separate button):
on (release) {
var input:String = input_txt;
trace(input);
}
I get "undefined" as my output

I have text from an XML file that dynamically loads into a scrollpane.
The text appears in the scroll pane, and scrolls just fine --- but it doesn't show the full length of the dynamic XML text.
How can I make the length of a dynamic text area VARIABLE --- so that it expands to fill the length of the XML document?
