ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Text To Objectdisplay Images XML?
Jul 15, 2009
I have a rotataing menu that is driven by xml images. the images all load in, but I would like to have a little text info at the left side of each image as it rotates.
I understand that you create dynamic text fields, which I have done in my fla that then somehow link you to the xml where the text info is read from, but how the AS3 script goes for this I do not know?
I would like the text to be fixed with the image and rotate by the side of images and not pop up like a tooltip
I am working with example files I received from soulwire, which contain displayObjects so I think it has to be done like that?

I make RSS reader in flash. I have a text field and when I place RSS text and images in that text field I need to have a text in the new line after picture. But now I have image from the left and text from the right.

I have a map of Europe. What I am trying to set up is coding or something to it. trying to make it so when the mouse goes over each country the name of the country is shown.Have made a version with images, however due to the countries being so close together when you run the mouse over where the text is (even if the text is off the space of the country) it shows the text of the other countries
My boss wanted me to make scrolling images and captions for each image when you rollover them. I made the images scroll by making each image a button and masking those images. I can't seem to get the captions right though.The dynamic text box I am using is inside the mask (because I cannot figure out how to put it on the main time line and make it work). The rollovers work when the dynamic text box is in the mask, but when I scroll through the images, the text scrolls too and some of the captions you cannot even see. The web site is below if you need to see what I am talking about.http:[url].......
I figured that what I need to do is put the dynamic text box on the main time line and not in the mask. But I can't seem to get that to work.Here is the code I am putting on the actual image buttons. My text box instance name is rOver and yes, I did embed the fonts.
on (rollOver) { rOver.text ="caption"; }[code]..............
how to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.
how can I generate a swf from text and images, Example I have these files:mytext.txt and some pics image1.jpg image2.jpgThis files, was parsing from a pdf file, and I need to inserts to a personalized swf (or fla). Yes, I need a free solution, like ipaper "http:[url]......" or flippingbook "http:[url]....."... how this projects can works? because ipaper can read text and select it, it's not a image!! maybe they have an OCR but in AS3? in general, both projects have amazing characteristics.I know this is complicate but I really need a free solution and not an "unpersonalized" projects, that we can't change.Now, coming back to a first question, one possibility is a swf compiler (I could be wrong), how can I manipulates an adobe's swf compiler?(by cli or code?).
Something that has always bothered me, wrapping text around images. Now in the past I always just used line breaks to wrap the text around images in a static and dynamic text field.
I haven't really had much experience with using HTML formatted text in dynamic text fields but I am told in can wrap text around image, is this true? And if so I am imagining the image would have to be external to the flash file and inserted using an <img srce> tag.
Was looking around for perhaps a simpler way of doing it and came across "Text Layout Framework" from Adobe. After reading into it, seems that it will wrap the text around in dynamic text fields through use of extensions and components (plus a whole stash of other features.) Would this assumption be correct?
And is there any support for text to wrap around images in static text fields
I have downloaded some templates and im working out how to do several things. One part of the site picks up text from an XML doc and builds sperate text boxes for each item on the XML list. Also built are the scrollpane, scrollbar and generates the text style/size etc. How would i change the actionscript so it adds an image to the text it picks up from the XML file?
var flashmo_item_list = new Array();var flashmo_item_group:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var item_width:Number = flashmo_mask.width;var item_height:Number = 0;var
I have a dynamic text field in flash and I load text content from xml file there,(an article without images).Now I would need to load the same text but with some photos, (an article with images, e.g. a photo is in the middle of the text).
I have a menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left of the images that load in.In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in.this is what I am using to loading in the text, is this correct?[code]the thing is I am not sure where to put the actionscript within my main.as at the moment its under 'Get info froom XML node' like this;[code]is this correct, am I missing something else as nothing appears when I publish movie?
I was using the following script adapted from a post i found on this site and realized I needed to delay the showing of my dynamic, XML based HTML rendered text untill after the picture had faded.
text and image arive....text changes images fades out new image fades in.
you see the new text which doesnt match the previous image.....
How can i trigger the text to appear (alpha?) when the new picture is at a certain alpha say 50%?
pasted below is the script - have tried everything I can think of (which i admit is not probably enough).
delay = 4000; function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {
how or maybe where a tutorial is for scrolling a MC? I have a MC with content such as text & images etc which I am going to mask it and I want to be able to scroll it with a bar.
I want to create a game that display an image and when a certain word from input text is entered a message appear to indicate that the answer is right or wrong, if it is wrong then the user keeps trying, if it is right then it moves to the next picture.
Okay, I've read through the XML and Image loading threads and none of them seem to adapt to what I'm trying to do. Basically my question is this:
"I know how to load text dynamically into Flash, but how do I load an image from the same XML file as the text into a blank movieclip that is sitting on the stage?"
Can someone explain the variable setup, XML parsing, and the XML code to me...this has had me strangling myself with my cordless keyboard and mouse for hours.
my current AS is as follows (with functional loading text...I get an "error loading URL" message for the image):
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.interview = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
I wonder if it is possible to make a flash chat with smiles, <img> tag in htmlText doesn't work very well.Anyone have any ideas of how to put images within text field???
Im designing a portfolio site and my goal is to display a thumbnail of the art with a description to the right of it loaded from my .xml file.
here's an example: [URL] if you click on portfolio at the top and click on any of the links that come up you will see what im talking about.
I feel like this is something fairly easy to do, but im having trouble figuring out the actionscript to link these 2 elements. I've had luck loading images in empty movie clips linked from my .xml , but how can i get the images and text to show up with each other.
im assuming the description is in the same path as the image in the .xml file.
Just wondering if anyone knows of anyway i can put images AND text into the drop down section of a combo box. An example of what I'm trying to achieve is in the attached jpeg.
I'd like to have a scrollable list of text, an image to the left of each item and I'd like to do this with xml.I've been searching round but I can only find out how to import one or the other not both in one scrolling element.
Is there a way in actionscript to convert an image to text data, i want to do an air app that converts an image to text and saves it in a text file, i also need a way to convert that text back to an image,
To print images the PrintJob class must be set to "printasBitmap". If the page has text and images in the same way PrintJob needs "printasBitmap" to print the images. But this setting become text jagged, low resolution, bad quality.
I'm a web designer, but I deal with HTML, PHP, JavaScript, not so much ActionScript. I have a new client, and they've already had a website designed completely in Flash. Now they only want certain elements of it, and the rest in HTML. See, the website uses the ripple effect to make images and text look as if you were sticking your finger in water - it follows the mouse. So, I want to take 3 different smaller Flash movies out of this huge, big one. But when I do, the ripple effect no longer works. Here is the action code:
import flash.display.BitmapData; var map1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(900, 600, true, 0xFF0000); this.createEmptyMovieClip("bmp1", 10);bmp1.attachBitmap(map1, 0, "auto", true ); var blur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(8,8,5); [Code] .....
I know I'll need to change L2 - the 900 to whatever width and the 600 to whatever height, but that's about all I understand.
I have a project where I'm loading some HTML into an HTML-enabled dynamic textbox, along with some images, using the img tag. The problem I have is that no matter what I do, the text tries to flow down one side of the image (depending on whether I have the image set to align 'left' or 'right'). I don't want this. I want the text to sit under the image, not flow around the side. I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't seem to achieve this.
I have text frame with scrolling bar on right which is set as "Input Text".Is it possible to include images into same text frame.If I run this script:scroller.htmlText = "<img src='portrait.jpg'>";Image shows but my previously entered text disappears.Also is it possible to prevent text entering or deleting while movie is running?Basically I created text with a scroller i need to prevent it from modifying "entering/deleting"text on runtime plus I need to populate it with images!
