I have a dynamic text field on stage that gets populated with some text after something else in the movie happens. i want to use this population to fire a function, however I have read that adding a listener to the textfield won't work if the contents are updated dynamically, and that using onChanged is the way forward, but I can't make it work
View 1 RepliesBasically I have a few functions to check to see how many lines of text the user types into a text box.If the text exceeds 1 line I make the text box red, once they click in the text box again to shorten their input I change it back to white.So I'm using the following code
Code:
// nick name
if(temp_pref_name_height > maxHeight){

I have a normaly created dynamic textfield to which i put something like "_root.MC_container.anyVar" on the variable field.
This textfield is part of a button, so, what i need to do is to redraw the button when the contents of the textfield changes. I have the whole redraw function working ok. But what i cant seem to achieve is to detect the change on the variable i've assigned to the textfield. The content changes, but no redraw function gets called.
I've tried with TextField.onChanged and adding a listener object to the textfield, but none of them seemed to work.
1. How do I reset a value in an onChanged function?
2. How do I set a sliders minimum value to 100?
I parse an xml file that his content is:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<operators>

I display the name of operator in a TextField after parsing the xml file my problem is to loop through this different TextField with a fade effect.
What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.

Have an Input textfield and write e.g. 123 in it (This is on frame 1).Then later in frame 3 I want that number to be shown in a Dynamic textfield.How do I do that?
View 0 RepliesI have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
Im trying to create same MCs and create a textField inside each MC created, then I am trying to apply onRollOver event into those MCs created and change the textField.textColor.

I'm creating a playlist for a music player, and I've got the song names displaying correctly in my songTitle holder MC, but there's limited space for the song names to be shown in, and I'm going to eventually have it inside a scrolling movieclip. Problem is, the text inside the textfields disappear when I try to add a mask to the movieclip they're being loaded into. I've tried adding all combos of embedFonts, antialias, and blendModes I ran into, to no avail.how to mask dynamically created textfields with a non-dynamic (Flash IDE-made) mask.
Code:
for (var i:int = 1; i <= _size; i++) {
var pl_artist:TextField = new TextField;
//all embedFont = true and antiAlias commands no workie
}
I'm having an issue where the client wants me to format a string as it's being entered into an input box. It's part of an interest calculator The problem i'm facing is that I can format a string so that it comes out the way he wants but the problem is that I can't figure out a good way to rewrite the function so that it doesn't keep reducing the number as I'm typing it in, just adds the decimal places like he wants.

View 2 RepliesSo I just found that you can tab text using " " and to create a new line you use " " but can you tab text to the right of the textfield?
I have a product that I want to be in the left, then its price I want to align to the right in the same field. Then I have a description I would use a " " to create a new line.
So is there a way to tab it to the right?
I have a flash file that loads dynamic text from a text file. When you press the space bar, it animates the text upward like movie credits. It works fine until I add more than 50 lines or so, at which point it delays showing the text until it's well into its scrolling.the kink here is that it only displays this error when it plays in fullscreen mode (which it is set to do by default, and what I need). if I escape out to window mode, it plays the text animation just fine.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with loading text from a *.txt file into a dynamic textfield which is located in a movieclip in another movieclip. It seems it can't find the textfield because it is in movieclips. I know I shouldn't work with the '_root' command but in my project it doesn't matter. Also tried making '_root' globalmain to 'this'. But that still doesn't do the trick.
Code:
tdata = new LoadVars();
tdata.onLoad = function(success) {

I'm importing an XML file with 3 elements into Flash CS3 (AS 3.0) and when I trace the results, I get everything in the XML file parsed nicely and cleanly. Now, I have a dynamic textfield that I set equal to the parsed results, instead of a trace, but when I do it, the textfield only outputs 1 node. I have the textfield set to multiline and it still only returns 1 node. Here is my xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have an external text file I use to load captions for my slideshow I'm using to present images in my portfolio I'm making for my senior seminar class. I want it to open up a url to show an expanded image of the thumbnail I added.
In my external text field I have three things:
&caption1=Problem: Create a photo with things that typically don't go together
&credit1=Solution: Taking photos and using Photoshop to create a unique photo
&software1=Software: Photoshop CS3
I thought if I added a 4th dynamic text field (url_txt) and used &url1= for each cite it would load. I even made the field render text as HTML but it doesn't work.
I have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text. For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular line of text get cut off. I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the _height Property but it doesn't make a difference. I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font looks a little different as well.

I'm adding text to a movieclip as you can see below. The text is alomost not visible because it's so small. If I don't scale the movieclip then the text becomes clipped.

The textfield is being updated as a user clicks the buttons of a sprite array menu, so that the label names of timeline frames appear in the field. However, I want to be able to click these labelnames also, as they appear in this textfield. The textfield is placed just to the right of the menu, to offer shortcuts to visited menu items. I am not trying to populate a textfield with ton of text in authortime, and then clicking some of it - That is not what I am trying to do.
View 3 Replieshow do I fade in/out dynamic textfield with simple knowledge of AS3? I have 3 textfields on stage, instance names : txt_1, txt_2, txt_3 Every 10 seconds I will pass in new string to all 3 textfields. I would like to improve the visual for them, thinking it would be better by adding in fading in/out effect when new strings are passed in.

How to add numbers to a dynamic text field. I have a dynamic text box on the stage called riglevel. On the same frame I set riglevel.text=1, but when I try to test the movie the text field is blank. I can get it to work with words, like riglevel.text="testing" works fine, but for some reason I can't figure out how to get this to work with numbers.
