Data Integration :: Filtering Displaying Dynamic Information

I want to create a Flash file so a user can check boxes to filter what images are displayed--the (unfiltered) images would come from an XML file. Or, a MySQL database if that's easier. Is this possible? If so, how?

IDE :: Display Dynamic Text When The Instance Name Of The Text Box To Do The Displaying Is Dynamically Stored Within A Variable?

Nov 6, 2009

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:

[Code]....

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

Professional :: Dynamic Text Field Not Displaying Text Even When Font Is Embedded?

Jan 16, 2011

So, I have some basic actionscript code.  It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2.  The line of code simply does this:
 
myField.text = "some text"
 
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded.  All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed.  Instead, the textfield is blank!  What happened?!  Where did the text go?
 
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime.  If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?

Actionscript :: Flash Displaying Weird Text In A Dynamic Text Field?

Mar 2, 2011

I am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:

var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";

What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?

PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Variable As Text In Dynamic Text Field?

May 24, 2010

This 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 >_<

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Displaying?

Jul 19, 2009

I have a dynamic text block (with text in it), which is on a button. This button is within a movie clip. This has created a "slide-in" / "slide-out" illusion when clicked on it.

My problem : The dynamic text does not display at all. If I change the text to Static, it displays.

Am I missing something, or why is this not displaying??

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 : Displaying Value From Array In Dynamic Text Box?

Jul 16, 2009

i defined a global array in the first frame.When the user clicks on a button a value is inputted into the array, and they can click on several so all the different values are stored in an array.I want to display the last value of the array, so the last button they clicked on, on a separate frame.so i define my array like:

_global.purchases = new Array();

and the code on my button is:

on (release){
_global.purchases="awhite";
_root.gotoAndPlay("checkout_page");
}

and the code on the frame with the text box is:

var arrayCount = purchases.length;
var latestValue = arrayCount-1;
if (purchases[latestValue]=="awhite"){
imagename_txt = "A White";
}

However, the text doesnt display at all. If I trace my array then I get "awhite". If i trace arrayCount I get "6" and "5" for latestValue. But if i try and trace purchases[0] then I get "undefined".

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text From Xml Displaying On New Line?

Jun 17, 2010

I am trying to create a dynamic text field that loads data from an XML file. the XML file cannot contain html formatting, and the idea is that each word should be able to be on its own line. like:

Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.

Now, I've been told that the way they used to do this is that in the XML is formatted where they put all the words on their own lines. like:

<data name ="input">Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.</data>

when i try this, it seems to be double spacing everything.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Dynamic Text Without The Stage

I have a DynamicText movie clip call mcShotsText. In my .as file I'm creating an instance via:

private var _mcShotsText:MovieClip;

_mcShotsText.x = 300;
_mcShotsText.y = 300;
addChild(_mcShotsText);

If I make the symbol so that it starts with text, it displays that fine. I want to alter it in code throughout the course of the game. I was hoping this would work:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Variables In Dynamic Text Box?

Apr 29, 2011

I have read a few tutorials about adding variables to the text within a dynamic text box. However none of them work for me. I would like the box to display the Score of a game (called Score in my code, var Score:Number = 0). I can calculate the score fine, but it is not displaying in the Box. I need to load my Level Complete screen, with the text box inside. Could i do this by creating it using AS3 every time (by defining its properties in the code), or can i add it to my library (and define its properites there) and then declare an instance of it?

Inside that function is a MovieClip.createTextField() function that takes the values and creates a textfield with the "instanceName" provided and assigns a value to the .text property of the textfield through "txtValue".

The code compiles. But it just doesnt want to show the textfield.

I know the variable is getting passed because I am displaying the value in as dynamic text but the parent movie will not play. This is what I have:

I know there is a way to tell the parent movie to play from the embedded movie by using TellTarget but I would like to find out why this doesn't work.

After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Number In Dynamic Text Box Without Rounding?

Apr 8, 2011

I'm using AS3 and trying to place the number value read from an SO into 2 dynamic text boxes. I'm using a couple of test numbers (2.25 and 1.25). Oddly when I run the following script, I am having difficulty getting my test numbers to appear in the 2 text boxes (T1, T2). (Before the numbers stopped displaying altogether, they were rounding up and seemed to be 10x greater than they actually are, without my doing anything like this.) Note: The script also displays text boxes (T3, T4, T5 and T6) with messages like "above average" based on the scores-not sure if these displays are correct, since I can't view the 2 numbers that the displays are based on.Here's the code. I must be doing something wrong:

Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {  var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("G1", "/"); // using "/" as a local path should work to pick up the

I have a SWF file that is loading text from an xml file. The text loads and animates fine when viewing it embedded in an html page zoomed to 100%. It even looks fine when loading at 100% and then zooming in. My problem is that the text field will not display when the page reloads while zoomed at anything other than 100%. It gets even weirder because everything is fine if I set the text of the dynamic field via a static string, the same string as in the xml file.
