View 0 RepliesI am using this following code to display images using xml.Everything is working fine for me but i have to add background image or border to the displayed image using function BitmapFileMaterial.
using BitmapData or Bitmap Class but same functionality.

I'd like to be able to click on each of the buttons and have the background color change and also have its color name loaded in the dynamic text field. E.g. Clicking the white square would change the background color to white and should also display the text ''white'' in the dynamic text box. I've sorted out the colour changing part with the following code:

I'm having a problem being able to display an external image using xml, I have it set up so that once it loads it is put into an emtpy mc on the stage. I've been looking at the xml photogallery tutorial and I can't see anything wrong?
The actionscript is this:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
bgImg = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

I embed image in html text field like [code]...
The problem is that text is being wrapped around an image. How can I get the text to be displayed under the inserted image?
Using AS2 and Flash 8.I'm currently looking for a way to display a image file that is outside of the .swf in my Flash program,including a way to resize it.I just looked through the options of using the Loader component with the .contentPath function. Even though this method displays the image perfectly, I can't for the life of me figure out how to resize the Loader.
Code:
image_number = 0;
initialization={autoLoad:true,contentPath:"",scaleContent:true};
image_number++;
[code]....
This basically dynamically creates the "Loader" component with all of it's settings initialized. Then, using .contentPath, it displays my "banner.jpg" which is in the same directory as my .swf file.
where to send the subject.Can actionscript 2.0 create a textbox with background image?

View 8 Repliesway to display an image in a text box.
Here is the background. I am creating a Flash game, and I have a text box I am using to display text when the shooter misses the enemy. I would like to have the graphic pop up in the text box rather than the formatted text.
I was thinking of using the background property, but I wanted to see if this was even possible.
for some reason, when i load text that is pulled from MySql and send it to flash all apostrophies and dashes appear as squares. how do i fix that?
View 1 RepliesThe following page shows how to load external images in AS3 DataGrid: [URL] (image and text are displayed in two columns) But I wonder how the image and text can be loaded together within the same DataGrid. Within one column: Image followed by the text.
View 1 RepliesI've a CD presentation using flash and XML. The CD includes a search facility. The search and rest of the things are ok but the problem that the result comes along with the picture that is reading from XML file. Sometimes the result contains more that one person's details with photographs. So scrolling the content area is necessary. I've tried to display both, the pciture and result (text) but the scroll bar component doesn't support picture. <img> tag i've tried but no result. Is there any other option for display the image and text withing a scrolling area.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading numbers from an external txt file which appear in my dynamic text field as "5" or "25" but I'd like to have a few "0"s in front there (so "0005" and "0025" for example).

View 1 RepliesI've got two files A and B. A generates a random number in a dynamic text box and loads an image as the background:
[Code]...
I'm trying to avoid useing a button to send the number from A to B, and instead am trying to use an event listener that sends the number when A loads background.jpg; but the number never gets sent (I start with B open already, and then open A). I've gotten this to work with an onRelease event for a button , so i know the LocalConnection coding works, but as I said I want to avoid using a button to send the number. I'm sure it's right in front of me but i've got no clue why it isn't working, so I defer to wiser minds.
How do I display an image and text on the stage, that I load from an XML?I already know how to display a single image if the path to it is hardcoded in AS3:[URL] works just fine. It shows how you can display an image on the stage, that is in the same file as the SWf-file.
But the tutorial above does not cover xml. Who can show me how I can display the image on the stage, by retrieving ist path from an xml document? how to retrieve data from xml but they forget to mention how to actually display them on stage!
I want to know how(and what scripts) to take words from a text input box and cause it to display and image Ex: if the text box said "smiley face" in it, then the image "smiley_face.jpg" would display on a certain movieclip and can be dragged around the stage and when a new image is loaded, it doesn't replace the previous image on the movie clip.

I want to load an external text file, and display loading percentage in flash,so I could show user how far loading is completed.And the problem is I can see progress in trace window,no progross message displays in the textfield,only when my text is completly loaded,the whole text shows in flash.

Im trying to get a button when pressed to display text from an external .txt file (which I've done so far), but (1) I want it to only display certain paragraphs (the actual dialogue) of this text and (2) every time I click the button it should replace the old text with the new (like in any RPG). Now I asked a former lecturer for help and he gave me a link to a website and gave me a hint of what to do, but seeing as I was recently voted #48 on Forbes worst 100 programmers of all time (actually I haven used AS for 5 years) so I thought someone could explain it to me in a much clearer fashion? PS: My lecturer said: When you click the button to add text to the textfield but you ewant the previous text to be cleared the first thing you do is empty the box ( myText.text = "") then fill the box again with your new text..

And above it I want to insert loop video with (i.e.) walking man.So, can I embed video (without flash and any player controls) in page?Can I decode video with transparent background? Is there any codecs which support transparent background (alpha-channel)?
View 1 RepliesI have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.
found that code to display html format text to dynamic textfield in as3:
var url:String = "http://edeejay.dyndns.org:8000/currentsong?sid=1";
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

I am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.
View 4 RepliesOK, I've worked on this for days, I would like to make the box drag-able, however I loose my text when I add the drag function. It has something to do with the cliphandler and a conflict.Everytime I add the following code it kills my text and or image.
Code:
dragger.onPress = function() {
startDrag(_root.about);

I have a gallery page that has a UILoader Two buttons (back/next) and a Dynamic Text box.
When UILoader pulls in the new image i want to populate the text box with the description of that image. I have got the code working to pull the external text in the first time you go to the page but cannot figure out what to do to make it call the function and pass the right argument every time you click the next or back button.
Attached is my code.
var imageNumber = 1;
var textNumber = 1;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("images/description"+textNumber+".txt"));

I need to dynamically load image and text (title + description) from external XML file in Flash 8 and show image in the left and all text in the right(title top then description) and scroll all the content(image + text). More than one image and text will be there.Pls send solution + fla & xml.
View 2 RepliesI was trying to use the photo gallery tutorial from this site the code was done by sbeener I wanted to use the same concept for adding external text for each image. So far I have only been able to figure out how to load the text but I have not figured out how to be able to change the text to correspond to the image.
