ActionScript 2.0 :: Unique Identifier On .text?
Jul 29, 2004
i have an externally loaded .swf file i'm loading into a container mc with a unique identifier. that .swf file itself is dynamically loading a .txt file into a text box.how do you script the .txt file to have a random identifier? a code on the actual .txt file or actionscript on the buttons that call the .txt file.i have a few buttons that when pressed load a new .txt file into the text box called newsBox. the buttons have this code:[code]what i want to make sure is that when called upon, the new .txt file is loaded and not the one on the user's cache.

Is there any way to get some UNIQUE, unchanging value from the user's computer, such as MAC address etc, via ActionScript? IP Addresses change too often, and even though MAC addresses are fakeable, at least it is a bit of protection.I can find many uses for this, including making it more difficult for people to copy over SharedObject data from computer to computer.

I'm currently trying to load images and a few other nodes from an xml file.Once the xml file is loaded i determine the number of nodes in the file...create a loop which assigns each node into an array. My intentions are to create a image gallery which loads a dynamic amount of images. My problem now is i cannot figure out how to loop the loader component. Heres my code so far - (i'm thinking an object might work but not sure how to implement it)
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var xmlUrl:String = "slides.xml";

I already know how to limit my input text to a number of characters, but how would I go about (if possible) making sure characters do not repeat? In other words, I have a ten character input text box and I want you to be able to type pretty much any character but only one of each.
Example:
AFKEIOPCNK
What I'm trying to eliminate is this:
AANHDKDDJI
If that isn't possible, I'd like to instead detect if there are repeated characters so I can just say "that's invalid".

Is it possible to load text into a dynamic text field, and if yes how could I do this? I've searched a few tutorials on dynamic text fields but it concentrates on scrolling. I would like unique text to load in the dynamic text field depending on which navigation button I click on.
(i.e. I click on "button1" and "blabla1" text appears in the text field. I click on "button2" and blabla2" text appears in the same text field.)

I'm working on a piece for work. I need to figure out how to add unique dynamic text fields to duplicated movieclips. Unique as in unique instance names and variable names. I have a movieclip on the stage that contains a dynamic text field.
the text field will house text that is being pulled from an xml file.What I need is to have the dynamic text field in all the duplicated movieclips have a unique instance name and variable name.I assume that a nested for loop would be required, but I'm not sure as I am not the greatest actionscripter. Here's what I have so far:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {

What I mean to find out is what is shown in the Identifier section of the symbol properties.

I have a question regarding the use of variable identifiers when using SharedObjects, I will explain. I want to have the identifiers of a SharedObject as variable names, so: I create a variable: var destinationLoc = ["destination"+mySharedObject.data.numRuns]; I write to SharedObject: mySharedObject.data.destinationLoc=destination;
Unfortunately the above script does not see the variable, destinationLoc as a variable and instead views destinationLoc as a "hard-coded" identifier Is there a way to create a variable sharedObject identifier?

I'm a beginner to Action Script and I'm going through the lessons in the Adobe Classroom in a Book. I cannot get past this one code line error:
Expecting identifier before a right paren.
Of course I'm just copying what the book is giving me to do the lesson. I have already come across a line of code that is wrong in the book, so now I'm thinking this line may be wrong as well.

I'd like to first say that I can program in C++ but this is a little new to me.
