I have a timer that counts up to 60.
Within the timer function I have a variable that increments every second,
i.e second = second +1; I'm tracing that out and it counts up nicely on the trace output.
I want to add what I'm tracing to a text field on my stage so a text box will display the counting from 1 to 60.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

I am going to display some dynamic NON ENGLISH TEXT in flash. Now the problem is it is fine with the English text but If I put some other languages then the display is something horrible. I tried by embedding the dynamic text field for all.
I have tried by saving the xml file as �UTF-8�, �Unicode� but the result is the same.
When I put in the XML � This is only for test� the text displayed properly. But if I put �Revela��o� in place of �This is only for test� then the result is horrible and it does not display the text properly.

I have an input field with a variable that needs to be displayed within a dynamic text field. I have noticed that when I publish in Flash 8, there is a line break after the variable and I need to sentence to be continuous. This displays without the line break when I set the dynamic text field to "single line;" however, there is about a paragraph of text to be displayed so I need the text to be set to "multiline." For some odd reason, multiline displays a line break after the variable, whereas "single line" does not.
Here are my variable names -------------->>
Input Field variable name is "userName".
Dynamic text field variable name is "outputText".
The sentence to be displayed:
outputText = ""+userName+", and the sentence continues here for a paragraph and so on..."
How can I have the dynamic text field display continuously, without a line break?
Go into the 3D Studio Max link and in there you'll see my problem.....How can I get the text to format to the width of the dynamic text field? What I have are variables set up to load text from an uploaded .txt file, into the dynamic text field... it seems to run each line way over to the right...
View 3 RepliesThis should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<
I'm trying to get a slider to display a number in a Dynamic text field as it is dragged. I think this is the only time I can say it would be easier in AS3!
Sooo, I made the slider and the code to move it, but I cant get the number to pass into it. My trace command fires but I get some static numbers in the text box. I'm just so confused, is it my var, or the math operator, or just syntax?
code as I screwed it up ....
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, 0, 0, 200, 0);
var xmin : Number = min(0);

I am trying to grab a string that is loaded into my dynamic text field and use it as a variable.
The text field is populated when another button is pressed first which says input_txt.text = "myInput"
...I gave my dynamic text field the instance name input_txt
So I wrote out (on a separate button):
on (release) {
var input:String = input_txt;
trace(input);
}
I get "undefined" as my output

I have a preloader. On one frame of the preloader is the code:
i++
loadtext = i;
emptyMC = "holder"+i
allimages._visible = false;
allimages.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+i, i);
allimages[emptyMC].loadMovie("weddingsintro"+i+".jpg");
Everything works fine, but the dynamic textfield with the var name loadtext is blank. If i set loadtext = i+"loaded" then it just displays "loaded". I know the variable "i" has a value since the rest of the preloader works.
I have a variable that changes according to the position of a slider. I would like to display the numerical value of this variable inside a dynamic text field (created on the stage during authoring).I tried many approaches, but the one I was sure would work didn't. I referenced the "text" value of the dynamic text field from the frame in which the variable was instantiated and used. This did not work, so I am not sure what to do.[code]
View 4 RepliesI know you can read the contents of a text file into a dynamic text field at runtime. Can you also insert the string contents of a variable into a dynamic text field at runtime? I simply want a dynamic text field that says "Welcome back, <username>" I am doing it right now with a static text field and a dynamic one, but if the username is really short, the whole thing is not centered and looks weird. Optimally, it should all be part of one element on the stage.

I 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.
Is there a way to easily get data from mySQL database and display it in a dynamic text field?
