ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields?
Jun 7, 2006I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;
[code]....
Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Animate Dynamic Text / Looks Like Crap
Feb 11, 2009I import a text from a XML into a dynamic text box which is located inside a movieclip, which I animate. But when it animates, the text looks like crap. It jumps around and looks like laggin and shiet.Is it possible to "Break Apart" by AS after I imported the text? Yes I tried "Anti Alias for Animation" and it still looks shiet =/
View 0 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Change Dynamic Text On Not Yet Visible Text Fields?
Nov 4, 2009Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:
this["text_1"].text = "Hello";
The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.
Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.
Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Animate A Movie Clip That Has A Dynamic Text Box In It?

Aug 15, 2007I'm trying to populate a set of dynamic text fields with text using a for() loop and cant seem to get it to work.I have 9 seperate dynamic text boxes each labled picNum0 - picNum8. I want to read a number of pictures from an external file then have those numbers populate 1 through 9 into the text fields.I get the variables loaded in with the correct values but the text fields wont populate.[code]When I trace(curPic) inside the for(){} it outputs: picNum0 - picNum8, so I know that the variables are allocating ok, but dynamic text fields arent populating with the correct numbers.

Dec 4, 2010I decided that this was okay but I wanted to change it so text/staff etc.would update dynamically from a text file. Got this working and moved on to simple alpha tween animation.I have several dynamic buttons that fade onto the stage perfectly. When the user selects a button a variable is loaded which updates the adjacent dynamic text box (within a MC). However, if I try to tween this text box, it goes to full alpha if I place stop() in the last keyframe.If I remove stop() it will loop and display correctly.

View 2 RepliesCan't Get Dynamic Text Fields To Work
Sep 29, 2009I'm trying to make this guessing game where you have to guess how many times a penguin will bounce off the water surface before it sinks The way I'm planning to do it is kind of like this:
1.[Script telling textbox to add +1] >>
2.[Bounce animation] >>
3.[Script that randomly sends you to point 1, or 4] >>
4.[Ending animation]
Yeah, and right now I'm desperately trying to get that dynamic text field to work ...I've made a button with this code:
(The textbox is called "test")
on (release) {
test ++;
}
And on the first frame of the timeline I've added this:
stop();
point = 0;
I've tried changing names, tried adding "_root." (_root.test ...) nothing works!
IDE :: Kerning Dynamic Text-fields?
Jun 11, 2007What I'm doing is that I want to create textfields using flash and insert them into my HTML portfolio site.The reason I'm doing this is to be able to use special fonts, kern the text properly and customize the anti-aliasing. I tried with CSS but I don't have enough control using that (regarding kerning and anti-aliasing).I have created a Flash file that can load specific .txt files into the textfield of the SWF (so that the text becomes formatted), using FlashVars. I discovered that kerning in Flash doesn't apply to dynamic textfields unless you set it using actionscript. So I've tried to use the following code on my textfield:
---
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.letterSpacing = 3;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Fields From XML?
Mar 6, 2009I'm populating dynamic text fields within (timeline) animated movieclips. For some reason, this only works with the first movieclip even though the rest are formatted identically. I'm getting no errors.I can load other nodes into this MC so I think the XML and the code targeting the nodes seems fine (tracing the node values works as well).
The problem seems to be with the target movieclips, however I cannot find any differences in their settings compared to the one that is working. AS and XML below:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = -4;
[code]....
I have attached the FLA and XML for reference, version CS4.

Professional :: Using HTML In Dynamic Text Fields - CS4?
Mar 4, 2010Is there a way to type HTML directly into a TextField in Flash CS4? I've created a TextField on the stage, set it to dynamic, set "Render text as HTML" and thought that I could then type HTML directly into the TextField and that it would be rendered as such. Instead it displays whatever HTML I type as regular text.
I assume then that the only way to get HTML into one of these fields is to dynamically load it into the TextField through the htmlText property. Is this right? And if so, what exactly is the purpose of having a "Render text as HTML" button in the first place? Couldn't I just load the HTML into the TextField through the htmlText property anyways?
Well, at any rate, I was really hoping to use as much of the flash interface for the project I'm working on, such that anyone who didn't know AS3 could easily update it themselves. Now it's looking like not only will they have to know AS3 and HTML, but also have to deal with the hassle of formatting what will potentially be a complex system of images, textfields, and videos all in AS3 with no visual interface.
Is it too much to ask to be able to just highlight some text and make it bold or italic? That's really all I need, sadly.

View 8 RepliesProfessional :: Dynamic Text Fields And Symbols
Aug 7, 2010I'm having trouble with dynamic text. I have a symbol with dynamic text fields in it. In the action script file I want to change the text of these text fields like this:
textFieldName.text = "new text";
But nothing happens. I cannot see any text when I play the movie. Also I tried adding a dynamic text field directly to stage and change the text with
textFieldName.text = "new text";
I can see the new text when I play the movie. Then I added my symbol that has the dynamic texts in it, and the text of the text field that is directly on stage disappears. When I delete my symbol, the text is back there. I'm using Flash CS5 and ActionScript 3.0.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Fields / XML / Spacing
Aug 17, 2007So I have a project where there are 5 dynamic text fields, and I thought it would be quite simple. Create a dynamic text field, and then load in the .xml content, and I had it complete. However, it turns out that spacing is quite important, so my method will not work, and I'm kind of stumped how to proceed.So the things highlighted in red represent the .xml nodes, and as the width (character count) of TEAM1 and TEAM2 change, the spacing needs to remain consistant, and the static elements (the "vs." and "|" need to move accordingly, and the TEAMLOCATIONS need to stay lined up as well..Does anyone have a good idea how to handle this, or a good tutorial they could point out? I'm trying to build my own array structure, and calculate the width of "TEAM1", but it's slow going..

How do I get Flash to continue to output the rest of the XML file into text fields without creating dynamic fields for every XML node?
