ActionScript 3.0 :: Combining Data From 2 XML Fields Into 1 Text Box
May 25, 2009
I have loaded an XML file and I am populating several text fields with the data. For the first name and last name fields, I would like to combine the data into one field for appearance sake, but for some reason, only the first name data is appearing when I run it. It seems to be truncating the last name. My code looks like this:PHP Code:Obj.Name.html Text= xmlFile.name.first +xmlFile.name.last;Do I have some syntax wrong? Is concatenation allowed in AS3?

Flash 8, I have some XML creating a few simple arrays. These pull some movie clips onto the stage with incremented names: product1, product2 and so on. Inside these clips I have some code that is supposed to pull data from the arrays and put that data into text fields.
[Code]...
Shouldn't this last output be the number 1? I want to use this number to call the correct node for each clip,

I am creating a simple flash page that loads XML data to propigate text fields. However, the project is acting very strangley, certain areas of the whole movieclip aren't responding in the normal way. If i move a fully working button in to certain areas of the screen it won't react at all or fire off any events.
I have uploaded a video to youtube that demonstrates how certain areas of the screen are just black holes
For demonstration purposes i added a MC with the opactiy slightly down and buttonmode enabled, this is not part of my usual project.[URL]..

I'm trying to load text from an xml file to populate the labels of a column of buttons loaded with a for loop, but for some reason the text won't load. Here's my code thus far:
Code:
patents_xml = new XML();

patents_xml.load("text/patents.xml");
patents_xml.onLoad = loadXML

New to AS3, and just went through the great Kirupa tutorial on parsing XML using AS3 My trace output is fine, but when I try to send that parsed data to a text box, only the last XML node appears in the text box (named dynamicText_txt).Here's my XML:
Code:
<ts><verticals>
<alarms><alarmQ1>Is there an alarm?</alarmQ1><alarmQ2>What component is the alarm on?

I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.

I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).
My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:
Computer 1 would have winner 1
Computer 2 would have winner 2
and so one........
Steps the code should do..
1. call function and load the "unique (name)." of the computer by going to ("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 1
2.then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
when i publish the file out there is no errors-
When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")
so my guess it is not seeing the path for new URLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");
or
new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash

In my AS I load XML data into an array for titles which will be used later in dynamic text fields. I trace this, all of the titles load fine into the array. I use a for loop to attach a movie which has a dynamic text field inside of it. The movie attaches just fine, in a verticle menu just like I want it. The dynamic text field has the right instance name inside of it. I set the text field instance name to the array, but it didn't show anything in the text field. I knew it was there since it was Selectable and the selection cursor pops up whenever I hover over where it should be. So I create a string variable like so to try and go around whatever is messing it up:

In flex 3 I have a hierarchical data structure. I would like to display the content of it in a tree. My problem is that I have nodes which data calculated from children nodes. How to structure the hierarchy to make automatic changes to those parent nodes, if their children's data changed? For example:
Every node has a warning flag. If some of the children warning flag changed to true, then the parent warning flag should change automatically set to true. A node integer field is the sum of the children integer fields, and if any of the children changes, the parent integer field "calculates" the sum immediately. Is there an easy solution wit good structuring changes happen automatically, or I have to make some custom functions?

I'm trying to display a score in CS4 using AS2.0. The score is out of 14, so the display should read "1/14", "2/14" etc. I've got some code that scores correctly, but would like the text box to incorporate the "/14" which is static text. If I sit a static text box next to the dynamic text box, it doesn't align properly. I've anti-aliased the text (Bitstream Vera Sans Bold), but the alignment is still not reliable, even checking type spacing, correct Y position on page etc. The code I have currently is:
var score:Number = 0;
function addScore() {
score++;
scoreBoard.variable = score;
}
I thought by altering the last line to
scoreBoard.variable = score + "/14";
but this doesn't work, the "/14" does not display.I've also tried scoreBoard.text = score + "/14"; In this instance, the "/14" is not displayed when the score is zero, then displays "1/14" when the score is 1, but then displays "a/14" when the score increases.

I am trying to combine bold and regular text in a textfield but how do I embed an font family and not just a single style of a font?See example of how I embedded a font, you can only choose one style: "regular", "bold", "italic" or "bold italic" at once:However, when you try to embed the text (via the IDE settings or actionscript) how do you set the font to be the entire family?

Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.

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 new to actionscript but have some basic programming skills. I've downloaded some code that finds and displays fields from an attribute table of a feature, from my limited knowledge it seems to be adding this data into an array collection, the problem is I need the data fields to be displayed in alphabetical order, or in the order they are originally stored. I tried to use the sort function to order the array but can't get it to work.
The source code is below:
<mx:Script>

import com.esri.ags.events.DrawEvent;
import com.esri.ags.events.IdentifyEvent;
import com.esri.ags.geometry.Extent;
import com.esri.ags.geometry.Geometry;

Basically 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.

I have a linked movieclip that contains two textfields.One of the textfields needs to have regular and bold text, so I thought I would use htmlText however it's only showing the regular font that I embedded?I made the textfield in Flash and called it "details".I also tried to make another textField in the symbol called, "invisi" and I set it not visible:invisi.visible = false;I embedded the BOLD version of the font in the invisi textfield, hoping this would make the "details" text field show the bold font...but no luck.

I've got a nice bit of code that allows me to dynamically add a dynamic text box to the stage, add text to it and control it's position and formatting:
var txt:TextField = new TextField();txt.text= "feisty";txt.x=50;txt.y=50;var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();format.color = 0x2F55EA;format.font = "Arial";format.size = 18;txt.setTextFormat(format);stage.addChild(txt);
This just makes the word "feisty" appear on the movie.The problem is that I want to create many words with different positions,different starting times, make them go away and then have different words appear. It would look like this:[URL]The swf at the link was created with After Effects and the file size is 1.5 MB - too big for a web banner. I was told I could recreate the whole thing dynamically with actionscript and get file size way down. I've been working through various tutorials with little luck.
I have a list of 100 words, how do I turn the code above into a cloud of words that appear one or two at a time? I assume I will put the words into an array, but then how do I get the code above to cycle through the array and pick up the position and format attributes?

my client reports to me that some of the text is being clipped off in the text fields. I try to recreate the problem on my pc with chrome and firefox, but everything works fine. But he sends me screenshots from his mac with firefox, and sure enough they are being clipped. He claims its only fire-fox, and it is not a factor of window size. so here are the images to show whats going on:

I'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.
