View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments 3 times a second, starting from a specified value (so viewer would see 3.1, then 3.2...etc.)
Here's the code so far:
var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0
counterText.text=(String(counter));
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
[Code]....
What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.
I want to create a var that concatenates some text with my loop counter, this doesn't work:

I want to create a counter that will take the number I put in a text file and display it......not sure how to do this.
View 3 Replieslooking for a way to create a counter. It needs to count from 0 - 1,000,000,000 at a speed of 45 counts per second. Can someone please give me a code or a webpage I can work with?

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to create a flash counter.each time the movie clip is loaded, it loads an external variable (number of seconds).so lets say the variable is:
secondsToEnd = 260;
the timer will be working until it gets to zero, then the movie clip will go to frame number 2.after a refresh of the page, the "banner" will check again for a new xml variable. creating the counter (after receiving the variable secondsToEnd) till it gets to zero.
I am making a game that utilizes a keypress to play a movie clip. It runs perfectly but I am trying to add to the script. After twenty key presses play a different movie.In case that doesn't make sense this is a little more in depth description, The game is a boxing game and when Key "0" is pressed a movie clip plays(showing the boxer punching) that part is fine. I am trying to have it to where after Key "0" is pressed 20 times, it will que a movie clip to kick in(the boxer that is being punched will fall down).
View 2 RepliesI am wondering how to create a basic flash counter.
As in, when something happens, I want a variable to equal 1, and then, if something else happens, I want that same variable to then be 2.
Etc .etc.
I think there is something to do with ++ , but I'm unclear about the syntax.
i am trying to create a hit counter in the background of a flash application. However, i can't seeem to get the code in flash correct to access the php script.

function check() {

I'm using a hit counter according to this tutorial (http:url...)I'd like to have a text field with htmlText = "blablabla" + count;
but honestyl i can't get it done.
I am trying to increment a counter by one digit if a window (called searchItem_txt) contains text for more than five seconds. The code below activates the counter after five seconds but it keeps on incrementing until the count has reached 63.

I am just learning how to use Flash AS3. I have made a very basic animation that is a circle with a slice in it that grows larger over a couple of seconds until it is about a quarter of the size of the circle. It is designed for my research subjects to watch and follow for range of motion and speed as they complete a leg exercise task. I used a basic for loop in the animation to repeat it 10 times, then a frame appears that says "Set Complete." I would like to add a repetition counter to the screen so that subjects know which rep they are on throughout the animation. I know that I have to use a dynamic text box to do this, but I don't know where to put the script so that the new counter number will appear on the screen after each loop. Here is what I have so far for script:
Action Layer first frame of loop:
var count: Number=0;
Action Layer last frame of loop:
count++;
if(count<=9){

View 5 RepliesIs it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?
I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.
View 1 RepliesNoob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

View 1 RepliesI have a project that needs to take dynamic text and arc it. Similar to this: http:[url]...In this example, select a font then click create text item.At this point you can slide the meter to change the arc of the text. This is exactly what I need to do.My understanding of what needs to be done is I need to first break the letters of the text field into separate text fields, loop thru them then position and rotate each char to the desired arc. The problem is my trigonometry really bites. I have tried many tutorials and I have gotten similar results, mainly arcing text into a complete circle at different radiuses. But all I need to do is whats in the example, which is allowing the user to gradually arch the text.
View 0 RepliesIn a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:

I have been making a memory game, where words are shown to the user. Once they have memorised the words they go to the next screen where the words that they have memorised are shown. They then have to drag each word into a "correct" place and a "wrong" place. I now want to edit it so that I can use two arrays one for correct words and one for wrong words. I want to generate random words from each of these arrays. I have sort of worked out how this is possible to do but using dynamic text, but am I correct in thinking that the whole dragging the words thing is not possible with dynamic text. (I may be wrong though, I am quite new to flash).

View 3 RepliesI'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?
how do i create multiple text fields with different text in it?
i've tried using createTextField() but you can only make 1 textfield if you give it a different instance name everytime you then should be able to make more but they just disappear.
What is the easiest way to create curved text (i.e. warp the text like WordArt)? I have read that it is possible to do it directly in Flash, but with no explanation how to do so. Thus, I'm not even sure if that's true.
