ActionScript 3.0 :: Basic Text Reference In IDE?
Aug 15, 2009
Since I began this project I have changed how I work and opted to create all text from here on out via actionScript.Since making the decision, however, I have to deal with text that has already been implemented. I am trying to reference a text field that has been statically created and cant quite figure it out unless I convert it to a MC symbol. Is there a way to access one of these fields through my actionScript much like I would if I were doing it striclty in code .. much like:
Code:
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
Where I could then access and assign properties... eg:
[code].....

I want to start basic. Are there any tutorials or samples where I can make a simple flash website with 1 pic and 1 text content in there and be able to change it like in a CMS system using whatever methods are best php, xml, asp. Maybe using PHP or whatever is the standard for Flash CMS at the moment. How to make a simple content management Flash site starting from there. Where an admin logs in and then change the content for the pic and the text.

I've seen this tutorial in the Actionscript Forum and it's nice : ) Unlike before, I always use the component scroller that came with Flash MX. Now i'm really learning.I also come across numerous flash web sites in the past few weeks. They also have fetures like news, blog and etc. with customized scroller but their scroller scrolls with an ease? You know, it scrolls smoothly like it's sliding

Creating 3 dynamic text fields (caption, caption1 and caption2) on stage loading from XML. First set of data loads fine into respectable fields from XML, however buttons are not changing data on click. Working in Flash 8 using standard XML format. I have traced succesfully. All fields are on main frame (simple test page), but I am still not getting a response from my handlers on prev and next buttons.

I'm populating a dynamic text field using instance_mc.textField_txt.htmlText = "some string of text";Can this method of populating a text field be styled with CSS? or do you have to use an external text file?One thing I have tried is using basic html tags <br> tags in the string and this works, and so does <b> bold is there away of just specifying in the string a different font size and colour?I've tried writing an inline css style and this didn't seem to work.My text field is not created with as, but the movie clip in which the text field resides is added from the library in a function.say for example i have "Ricky55<br>Some Street"; is it possible to make Ricky55 in a larger font that some street?

I'm workin' on a cool project for school. I'm loading up some text from an external XML doc, and bringing it in to a flash textField.
It's working great, but I want to do a little formatting, first off, apply a bold tag or a bold font to some headings.
Here's the .text field as I have it now:
Actionscript Code:
motorcycleInfo.text = "Make: " + bikeMaker[evt.target.selectedIndex] + "
" + "MSRP: " + bikeCost[evt.target.selectedIndex] + "
" + "Ride Category: " + bikeCategory[evt.target.selectedIndex] + "
" + "Engine Size:

(ps I finally figured out how to wire up my mp3's so they play, and pause, I just haven't loaded that swf up to my server... so if you press the music buttons and they don't play, that's the reason.)

I admit I'm fairly new to flash, but I've almost finished an entire RPG battle system complete with music [etc. etc.] - but my problem is trying to add a preloader.. I have a basic page which says "Loading" and has a Dynamic text box below which should read the Variable "_root.loadText". In the first frame I have this code:
[Code]...
and in the second just "_root.gotoAndPlay(1);" for the updating process. I'm sure that's all okay. But when I export it, then upload the swf file to somewhere like SwfCabin to show people for testing purposes, they have to wait on just a blank white screen for 1~3 minutes.. -note: I use both Adobe flash CS3 [at home] and Macromedia Flash 8 [at school] - I can stick to just CS3 if needed.

I want to be able to reference the text of a text box within an MCThe MC is called "box1", the text field is called "field1"...I have many MCs (all with field1 in them)... box1, box2, box3 etc etcObviously I can set the text to being something by saying...box1.field1.text = "set_this_text"However, I'm using a variable to come up with the "box1" bit. (Using an array and a loop to figure out which box I want to update based on where the user clicked). So, let's say I have a variable... and I want to say..boxClickedon = box1 //will be defined by userSo I don't know in advance about box1... I can only access it through "boxClickedin" variable, but
boxClickedin.field1.text = "set_this_text"
or
[boxClickedin].field1.text = "set_this_text"

Lets say I have 3 Movie Clip Symbols in my Library : Movie0, Movie1 and Movie2
Each movie has a dynamic text box: "TextBox1"
I want to be able to write a function that can manipulate the alpha(or any attribute) of the TextBox1 in all three MovieClips.
In my limited experience I thought I could do something like the following:
for (var row:int = 0; row < dataArray.length; row++)
{
Movie(row).TextBox1.alpha = 1;
}
I hoped that this would loop through 3 times and set the alpha of the TextBox1 in all three movies to 1.
Is this possible? Can you reference an instance with use of a variable?

I have 10 text fields named "text1", "text2" etc;
I'd like to use a for loop to pulate each one, so that each text filed is populated with whatever i is:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=10;i++) {
"team"+i.text = i;
}
I keep getting errors with regards to how the text filed name is referenced.
What is the correct way to increment the text filed name and reference it?
I've tried:
["team"+i].text = i;
"team"[i].text = i;
but they don't work.

I have a movieclip that I add to the stage and Im trying to reference a input text field on the second frame.When I trace the textfield on the first frame via the constructor it returns object textfield correctly.When I hit the enter button to go to the second frame where I will need to use password... I get a null when tracing. I can see it, I can write in it and no matter what I do I cannot seem to reference it.
Code:
public function Registration():void
{
trace(this.usernameField); //returns textfield correctly[code]...
In case you need the parent of registration its just the document class and I create registration like this..
Code:
var registration:Registration = new Registration();
addChild(registration); //ive also added it to the stage w/ no luck

how to make a simple AS3 class.I've made a simple calculator application that allows you to add, subtract, multiply, and divide after entering 2 values into their respective text box.The problem, how ever, is once I moved it into it's own class, I cannot figure out how to reference the text fields. I have the movie clips referenced just fine, but, I cannot figure out the text fields.Here are the errors it's spitting out:
Code:
1120: Access of undefined property Number1_txt.
1120: Access of undefined property Number2_txt.
1120: Access of undefined property finalValue_txt.
And it does that for each instance of those in the Calculator.as
Main.as

I am starting simply (or so I thought) by pulling an object from my library (libraryButton) with a unique identifier btn[i] and placing a dynamic text field within it. thus;
var numberOfButtons:Number = 5;
var btn:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < numberOfButtons; i++) {
[Code]....
would work, and Im simply trying to target a child item within btn[i]

So i have an external text file organized like this:
/* $file: data.txt */
&title0=Sacrum
&detail0=Detail text for Sacrum
&title1=L5
[Code].....
There are 28 of these 'title' and 'detail' pairs. The 'title' text is to fill a dynamic text box and the 'detail' to fill another dynamic text box depending on which section the user is mousing over.
My issue is getting the text from the file stored into arrays. For my test loop I keep getting undefined as the stored value, and i know it has something to do with converting a string value to object..
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = handleDataLoad;
lv.load('data.txt');
function handleDataLoad (success:Boolean) {

I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?

My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:
[Code]...
Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.

I have Flash website, made with Action Script 3. I also have XML file "content.xml". It looks like this:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}<contents>
<page>
<title>For identification</title>[code].........
When everything is loaded,I want to put the first content to the text field. I have created dynamic text box, called "teksti".If I say tl.teksti.htmlText =
xmlcontent.Page[0].Content.text(); it fails. Error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at main_fla::MainTimeline/frame60()[main_fla.MainTimeline::frame60:26]

well in my game,while you are playing level you have 3 objects(movieclips) on which you can click to pass on the next frame(when comes 3 new objects etc. untill level is complete); 2 of that 3 objects are wrong, and only 1 is good for passing on next frame. (all of all, correct click, wrong clicks)when i come on that level it keeps me showing error in output:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at TestYourLogic_fla::MainTimeline/goodplus();
Code: Select allfunction goodplus (event:Event):void {
goodcount ++;
goodText.text = (goodcount.toString());//<----debugger is showing error here
}
i gave instance name on my dynamic text as goodText, and it is on every frame.

I have the following code:
var myPercStr = myStr.text;
myPercStr= myPercStr.toString();
var myPerc = Number(myPercStr);
I am trying to get the value of a text field which is created by the user pushing a pin-pad. This text field is a string which is joined() from an Array of the sequence of pin-pad entries. Now my problem is that Flash will not convert the .text text field into a string with which I can use the value to convert to a Number and perform math on it.
