ActionScript 2.0 :: Text File Is Not Working Because It Contains A "&" Symbol?
May 13, 2005
I need to store this outside of flash to be loaded:
Code:

A text file no worky because it contains a "&" symbol. So I was forced to look into XML (probably for the best anyway, because the organization is unmatched).. Here is what I did:
My .xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rotatorVariables>[code]....
Everything is great except textDis.nodeValue traces null everytime.. it does not in some other example files I was working with.. I also tried tracing just "textDis" but that returns the value of it WITH the tags and replaces all symbols with &alt; sytax..

am currently facing an issue with displaying the % sign in my dynamic textbox which is loading a text file saved in UTF-8 format. Am using Flash CS5.
my text file contains this:
varEn=Discounts up to 10% on any goods bought today!
And my code for this part (AS 2.0):
Code:
if (lang == 'en')
numline = this.varEn;
Text1.text = numline;

I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file.When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.

I have created a symbol with its own timeline and actions.It works fine in a Scene test but as when taken into a scene and a movie test is carried out, none of the interactive features built into the symbol work.

I am very new to ActionScript. I have a .fla file which contains the AS2 code for the frames. What I need to do is that I have to export this code as a separate file. There may be a separate file(or class file) for each frame code. Is it possible to me do it automatically without losing animation interactivity and functionality? Or is there any other way?

I have two flash files (say screenOne.fla and gameA.fla). After importing the main symbol of screenOne.fla into gameA.fla as a movieclip symbol (call it screenOneSymb), the simple buttons in the instance of screenOneSymb do not work. By "do not work" I mean they have no rollover, not mouse action, nothing. If I go into the edit "screenOneSymb" in gameA.fla and turn on "Control->enable simplebuttons" the buttons will work while in edit "screenOneSymb" but not on the main flash stage. I've worked around it, but this is driving me crazy. How do I import multi-layered movieclip symbols (with buttons and animations, etc, etc) and get them to work out of the box?

I have created some graphic symbols from text (convert to symbol>>graphic), and when I double click them (in the editor), they remain text. Others from several month ago seem to remain symbols when double-clicked. The other thing I have noticed is some of my buttons have bulls-eye type circles on top of them, while new ones I create have an empty black circle. All the new ones I created do not seem to work properly, and I am wondering why this is by working backwards.

I have created a basic symbol with dynamic text, so that I may have many of the same symbol and script the text that shows up on the symbol. When I have the text box in a horizontal orientation the text shows up in my animation but when I turn it into a vertical orientation my text does not show up. Unfortunately I need the symbols to have vertical text.

I'm currently trying to set up my game so it pulls in all text from an external XML file (to make switching between different languages easier). The problem is that on several occasions I need to use the special code "" to start a new line (for formatting purposes) but when I'm pulling the text in from the XML file this is not starting a new line any more - it is just appearing as normal in the text. (e.g "Here is some example game text") How do I get around this?

In my project, there is a frame(png files) placed on the top of all symbols. After that, I apply mouse click event to the symbols that place underneath the frame symbol, but when I run the the game, I cannot click to the below symbols but only the frame symbol, although the frame is transparent.
The problem is, although the png picture has some transparent area, the mouse click cannot pass through it. Is there solution? Is there anyway I can disable a symbol from being clicked and mouse click event can recognize the symbol placed under it?

I'm using a php page to fill in flash dynamic text boxes. The php variables are set up like so&myvariable=This is my textBut I need to use the & symbol in some of the contents of the variable such as:&myvariable=This is my text & your textOf course that second & symbol makes flash think it's beginning a new variable and screws everything up.

How do I replace a graphic symbol ? It is actually made up of 3 layers including a textbox and bullet. When I double click on the symbol, I get the Text Properties menu.
When I single click on the symbol on the stage, the properties menu shows a Swap button. When I choose the correct symbol and click OK, it looks like it worked but it still shows the original symbol name (Instance of it) on this Properties menu.
Another issue is that when I change one of the symbols (by double clicking on the symbol and then double clicking on the text layer), it does change the text on that layer. However, then it changes the text on the other symbol as well even though they are different symbols.
Note that I can edit the original symbol and the new one. Both symbols are different. In other words, they each show the different text (which is what I want). It's like the original symbol is attached/embedded and cannot be changed.
Background on this issue: Rather than create a brand-new layer, I copied all the frames in a layer to a new layer because it has a motion tween on it. I only need to change the symbol that is in the motion tween. This is the only action/event happening on both layers.

Can any answer the following questions and maybe point me to a "for dummies" tutorial on 'Classes'. I have the books but they have seemed to disappoint me. Unfortunately I can never ask "why" when reading a book.
1) Does a Class file need to be attached to a library symbol?
2) How do you know what to import?I know this sounds funny but should you always import flash.display.MovieClip? I just want to create a line using a class to begin with and call it from a flash swf with two parameters (start and end).Wouldn't it only need to be a import flash.display.Graphics
3) What is "Base class is final."? Anybody had this error before?[code]

All I want to do is make a text button show another symbol? Basically, I have 16 icons which I want to eventually be buttons as well, and I want to show them in two different orders. So I have my two buttons for the different orders, and I have my icons in the orders as two different layers, and I've tried using the code snippets to show the icons but I keep getting an error message and it doesn't work, instead my buttons disappear. I just want to be able to click a button and the order of my icons changes.

I am trying to download a heavy swf dynamically to my site using URLLoader class. I'd like to know if it is possible to use a symbol inside the swf as a separate object?[code]Embedding the swf increases the initial load time of my site and I want to make it dynamic. How can I access the Kungfu symbol from Fight.swf after it is downloaded using the URLLoader class?

I have built a component, but the assets do not appear in the symbol library of the destination fla when I drag the component to the stage. This is fine, except that I have embedded a font in the component. To ensure the font exists in the destination swf, it must exist in the symbol library of the destination fla.My component extends the UIComponent class, and I have a component shim, although I'm still not entirely sure of its functionI have followed all of the steps found in the 9 part MenuBar tutorial, and everything works, except for this one issue.

I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
