ActionScript 3.0 :: Dyamically Create Textfields?

Feb 4, 2010

I have a list of names in a database and I want to pull these names and put them in text fields that will change colors on rollover states.

I get the names all pulled from the database and put into text fields dynamically. One thing I ran into is trying to do the rollover states.

Do I need to create different TextField names for each name and also the same for the TextFormat?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Various MovieClips With TextFields?

Oct 18, 2004

I create various movieClips with TextFields in them using the following function.

function AddLabel(Label,L) // create a MovieClip with a Text Field.
{
obj = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc" + L,L);[code].....

Lets say that I use the above function with the following statement:

JimMC = AddLabel("JimVision",1);

Then I try to assign a string to the above movieClip with some embedded html like so:

JimMC.txt.htmlText = "This is my test < a href='http://bogus.com'>link</ a>.";

When I try to run the above the results come out blank. When I list my variables I do see that my TextField is being assign the text and html code. What I also notice is that the textWidth and textHeight value become zero.why my results are blank? Why do the textWidth and textHeight values become zero?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create An Array Of Textfields?

Sep 13, 2005

i'm using this code

Code:
txts = new Array(title,title2);

txts[i].text=raiz.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.childNodes[0];

But that does not work...Title and title 2 are two dynamic textfield that i've created in my scene! The problem seems to be the declaration...Does flash allow casting? cuz i tried to cast the "TextField" option and that didn't work as well.

Actionscript 2 :: Create Dynamic Textfields In A Loop?

Aug 12, 2010

I want to populate the stage with a list of dynamic text fields with individual names, something like pg4_txt1, pg4_txt2, pg4_txt3. I'm a novice at flash, I tried creating variables with a while loop, but I just haven't got the grasp of it.

Here's some kind of weird pseudo code to explain what I want to do:

Actionscript 3.0 :: Custom Class To Create Textfields?

May 13, 2009

I want to create a custom class that will create textfields and return them to other classes, but it seems i cant get it working.First i created this custom class named "FormatText" extending Sprite class.Through constructor parameters i pass all the things i need to create a textfield and at the end i put it on the display list using addChild.If i do by this way and i create an istance of FormatText adding it to the display list, my textfield appears, but the problem is that i don't have full control of it, because this new textfield created is still considerated as FormatText's child, so if i try to change some textfield parameters, nothing happens.

Just an example:
var txt:FormatText = new FormatText(param1, param2, param3, etc.).
addChild(txt).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Create TextFields And Still Access Them?

Mar 18, 2009

in AS3, How can I dynamically create TextFields and still be able to access them individually?for example, a for/next loop creates 3 textFields:

for (var num:Number = 0; num<3; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField;
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}

now say later on, I want to change the text of one of the textfields:

txtFld.text = 'This is the new Text';

The problem is, in the variable list, there is only one txtFld, the last one created. How can I access the other textFields?

Actionscript 3 :: Dynamically Create Multiple TextFields Based On Array.length

May 4, 2011

What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.

I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.

//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A New Movieclip For Each Top-level XML Node And Include In The Movieclip Two Separate Textfields?

Jun 4, 2009

My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

I've imported an external XML file that includes both image and text elements into a textfield, and now I want to format the elements with an external CSS.I've had only limited success. Images appear below the text, instead of inline or aligned Left or Right, Flash ignores DIV or SPAN styles, etc.I don't know if I'm overestimating flash's abilities to render styles.I've attached a zip with the fla and all external scripts, as well as an html of what I'd like the end result to look like.

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextFields Filled From A XML?

Nov 11, 2010

I've recently been trying to rebuild a project we did at work so that we'd have a better and more flexible architecture for future projects. So far all is done, and work great, but I've been wanting to make the text we use (and we use a lot) easier to modify, so I thought having it outside my Flash/ActionScript files would do it. That way, I can change the text and have it working without having to recompile.

Unfortunatly, I've noticed that having the text in a .txt file puts random linebreaks which I really don't like, but XML severely limits what characters we can put in our text (no " < and so on, unless I'm missing something). Not to mention linebreaks would/could be a pain in an XML.

So, I'm wondering if you guys would have any ideas on how to do this, or even tips on how to do it in an XML or txt file that would work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Some TextFields Not Showing?

May 9, 2011

Basicly I'm adding dynamicaly sprites and textfields, which i populate from xml, in for loop. I'm building sort of table, so for every sprite, I'm adding new data in textfields. I've loaded xml and passed data to 2 xmllists, both traced and doing fine... Later on I add data from xmllist to array which then I'm looping in for loop.

Problem is that from 1st xmllist, 6 out of 7 textfields are visible, 1 can't be found nowhere :/ from the 2nd xmllist only 1 out of 4 are visible...

I've tried everything, tracing them returns that they are visible, on good position, filled with text, contrasted color from background...

Code:
for(mojbroj=0;mojbroj < dohvatiosamih2;mojbroj++){
if(mojbroj%2){
lista.graphics.beginFill(0xdddddd);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Link 2 Textfields To Each Other?

Apr 4, 2006

I want to link two textfields, so that if the first one is fille the text continues in the second textfield. The text is loaded from a xml file. One option would be to use html tags so the text wraps around the picture, but as you'll see in the attached image, the picture has a border around it, so it will be hard for the client to update it.I know flashloaded has a component, but as far as I can see it only works for columns, in the past I had found another component that did what I want, but I can't seem to find it anymore, not on the net and not in my backups.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Positioning MCs And Textfields?

May 1, 2007

Here's my code:

Code:
for (var i = 0; i<nTotalPics; i++) {
main.createEmptyMovieClip( "container"+i, i );
var container:MovieClip = main["container"+i];
container.createEmptyMovieClip( "pic"+i, i );

[code]....

First, if I add "trace (pic._name);" inside the onLoadInit function it outputs "pic3,pic2,pic1,pic0". Why does it show up in reverse order of the for-loop?

Second, is the "pic:MovieClip" in "mclListener.onLoadInit = function(pic:MovieClip)" pointing to the "pic" in "mcl.loadClip( astrImages[i], pic );"? If not, what is it pointing to? If it is, can I add another variable after "pic" so that I can pass it inside the onLoadInit function? Ultimately what I would like to do is create a textfield under each pic.
