I was wondering how you go about changing the looks of static text via the use of actionscript given the time in seconds when the filter is to be applied/adjusted/removed.so things like the filters and font colour

i am developing a piece for our home page that has three buttons below what's essentially a picture frame. the buttons work. it's the picture frame that doesn't.i have 4 ads that will rotate, each up for 250 frames. they fade out and in over each other. each has an instance name...ad1_link, ad2_link, etc. the idea is that as we have new products, etc, we'll swap in a new picture and remake the .swf.when i ran the code initially i got an 1120: access of undefined property error for pictures 2-4. no problems with the first one. after numerous attempts to find a solution, i decided to load all four movie clips at the same time, hiding them using the alpha property set to 0.i get no more errors, but now no matter which movie clip is visible, only the link to movie clip 4 (ad4_link) works. i need each clip to have it's own link, obviously, and for each to go away as the clip does.[code]

I have a movie within the webpage where text fades in. There are three components to the section; static text, a button and text that is linked via another movie file. When the text fades in each of the elements mentioned fade in at different times/rates. What should be looking at? I think that all the frame rates should be the same? Should I combine them all into one and make the fade easier to work with?
i'm new to AS3. how do i go about executing a custom function n number of times and then executing another function n number of times repeatedly?
eg.
function firstOne():void { }
function secondOne():void { }
i need firstOne() executed say 3 times and then secondOne() 3 times and then firstOne 3 times again and so on. i'm trying to move a movieclip 3 times to the left and then 3 times to the right continuously.
I initialized the variables, the TABBING thing doesn�t work and when I select something from the combo box, seams that the focus doesnt move to the next are even if I click on it, I need to click 2 times on the next text area to move the focus.HERE is the code that i am using...
var a_1 =""; //text areas inputvar a_2 =""; //text areas inputvar a_4 =""; //text areas inputvar a_6 =""; //text areas input var cb_slang:Object = new Object(); //combo boxm_s_lang.addEventListener("change", cb_slang);cb_slang.change = function(){ m_g_slang = m_s_lang.value;}var cb_stype:Object = new Object(); //combo boxm_s_type.addEventListener("change", cb_stype);cb_stype.change = function(){ m_g_stype = m_s_type.value;}

View 2 RepliesI want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

Is it possible to change the text property of a text field that is contained within a sprite? I've been trying but can't come up with the right syntax. Here is what I'm doing:
I've created a sprite named "lessonSprite" and added a text field to it in one function. Now, in another function, I'd like to change the text in the field.
I've tried to use this:
lessonSprite.titleField.text = xmlLsnContent.attribute("title");
where "titleField" is the name of the field added to the sprite "lessonSprite" in an earlier function.
I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library. I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin' I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want. I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.How can I :1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void{ Mouse.cursor="button";
//Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'
//I want to change the color of Administartion on Mouse_Over

Consider I have the text
A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Now, this text is in a dynamic text field. I do not want to change the color of the whole field. just made fox red and dog blue.
How, can I do that in AS3. Have been looking around without no luck.
I have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.
the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:
Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"
then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.
I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.
I just started playing with scripting and here is a question i got. I got 1 button.A movie with containts 3 graphics , graph1 , graph2 , graph3 Each graphic contains a Dynamic Text field. The var of that field within graph1 = text1, graph2 = text2 etc. On release should put the text "test" in each of the textfields and should play the whole movie wich contains the graphics with textfields. this is the code i made
Code:
on (release) {
set ("_root.movie.graph1.text1", test);

I'm trying to put a text in a dynamic text box. The text element, however, is placed dynamically:
var topText:myDynamicText = new myDynamicText();
topText.name = "NameTextTop";
topText.text = String("Text 1");
addChild(topText);
topText.text = String("Text 2");
Placing the text element isn't the problem, but I cannot seem to change the text in the element. As you can see, I tried placing the text before and after putting the text element on the stage. Both didn't work. The text element is creating from scratch by adding text with the Text Tool. It's single line dynamic text, Arial regular and the text characters have been embedded. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem, because I'm completely stuck.
I have this piece of code which basically takes some text from an XML file and displays it into a dynamic textbox called "a1" then the same text into another dynamic textbox called "a1h":
Code:
var a1Node=findNode(rootNode, "a1");
a1=getValue(a1Node);
var a1box:String = a1;
a1h = a1
Say if "a1" is "England" is there a way to make "a1h" say a shorthand version...something like "ENG"I could use a simple if else function but I have lots of dynamic textboxes and lots of different countries.
I've got a flash template, and was just messing around to see how tough it is to work with. Anyways, I changed some text, saved it, exported, and in the SWF, it did not change, it stayed as what it used to say.
I then changed some other text to see if the same thing would happen, and it did. I also added in a text field to see if it would appear, and it did.
why certain text does not show as changed in the SWF?

I am having a nightmare getting text to display as the font and size I select?I select text tool, I click on MC and start typing, it displays correcly in edit mode.I change the size of the text box (not via transform) and move the text box to where I want the text to display.However, when the application is published the font is showing as though it has been bolded or made a different size.It is not the font size and format I created it in.I have ensured I have no "anti-alias Bitmap" selected, but it's behaving as though it has "animation anti-alias" applied?
View 6 RepliesI am loading a swf file that is in the same location as the swf loading it. The loaded file is a movie clip with a dynamic text box
feedbackHolder_mc._x = 10feedbackHolder_mc._y = 10
feedbackHolder_mc.loadMovie("feedbackHolder.swf");feedback = "hello";feedbackHolder_mc.feedbackbox_mc.feedback_txt.htmlText = feedback
The text wont populate to Hello. But if I put this on a button click to change the text it works. Not sure what the issue is.I have even tried creating an empty clip into which to load the swf into despite the feedbackHolder_mc being empty.
I have a textField inside a mc. When you roll over an event is triggered.
In the fuction I can do thisCode:event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).text="fred";and the text changes - so its being targettedI want to change the format of the text so I thoughtCode:event.currentTarget.getChildAt(0).defaultTextFormat=mTitle_fmt;but, its doesn't work.it says "ReferenceError: Error #1037: Cannot assign to a method setTextFormat on flash.text.TextField.at index001_fla::MainTimeline/overHandler()"
Curious if you can change only some text in a TextField rather than all of it..Like simple example:The Ocean has alot of water...And make Ocean blue?
View 3 Repliesi've created a mc and inside that i have a dynamic text field, named 'inside'. Iside the mc i've created three key frames, first frame is untouched, second frame, i've changed the color of my text to red, and in the third i've changed the color to yellow. Now i have i awful blinking mc.I'm trying to change the text of my text field. I'm guessing that for every key frame i create i get a new instance of my text field, so i should change the text in every frame of the mc. So i've tried:
mc.inside.text = "test";
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
mc.inside.text = "test";[code]....
well i know that the text changes in the current frame, but as soon as it goes to the next frame the text changes back to its original.
