I apparently can't pass the score to the textBox.
1. How do I convert the variable to a string?
2. How do I update the textBox? I thought I saw some special method somewhere but I'm not sure where.
3. What is the best way of updating the 'score' variable.
I am creating a dynamic text field and "next" button. When the movie is played, the number "1" will be displayed on dynamic text field. When the "next" button is pressed, the dynamic text field will display 2 and so on...
It is like 1...2...3...4...5...
I have an AS3 file that pulls an XML feed from a site. All the file does is display a number in a dynamic text box. On my desktop it works fine the feed is parsed in the output window and in the dynamic text box, joy! I upload the file to the CMS we are using and, no joy all I get is 'Loading' in the window. I get Loading because I input that in the tf so it wouldn't be blank.
So the question is, is there a fundamental flaw in my code or is it more likely to be the CMS? Im hoping it is the code, otherwise it is back to the drawing 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);

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:

I have a loop that cycles through all children of an extremely small XML file, and I need to set the label and the link for each box. I started with a fixed number of dynamic text boxes, and loaded them because I knew the count, but I'd rather loop through them as I read the XML. Here is how it is now:
for (var aNode:XMLNode = rootNode.firstChild; aNode != null; aNode = aNode.nextSibling) {
trace(aNode);
trace(aNode.attributes.text);

Just starting out and really being trying to learn some game making basics etc but seem to be stuck on displaying some text.
If I have a dynamic text box with instance name "instance" and this is placed on stage. I have no problem making this read as my variable using this code:
Code:
function onLoad()
{_root.instance.text = variable};
when I have dynamic text within a movie clip and this movieclip is brought to the stage using attachMovie.
To clarify what I mean, I have a movie clip of an emeny zombie named EnemyZombie, inside this movie clip is a text box to show it's HP (ie, it's health left over), the text box has instance name EnemyZombieHP.
Now, I use this code in the onEnterFrame function to spawn a new zombie ever few seconds:
Code:
//Adds 1 to the timer
enemyTimer = enemyTimer + 1;
//Adds new enemy to the stage every 2 seconds (60 frames)
[Code].....
This spawns the enemies as I wish but i'm stuck on how to make each one spawn with the EnemyZombieHP text reading the variable hp which I definded as 10 earlier.
I'm using this code to show a variable's value in a string, but nothing comes up.

I use a variable to show the percentage loaded number in a dynamic text box. The problem I have is that it only works when there is more than 1 frame in the preloader scene.
My guess is, that when there is only one frame, the code is not being refreshed to update the text box.
ie var percentage; percentage = math.round( getBytesLoaded() / getBytesTotal() * 100);
I have a result screen that shows bonus points and such. I want each text field to increment one after another and also have it increment by a certain amount each frame. Result Screen pops up. First is the player score check the player score, is it more than the score we want to display if the player score is greater than the player display score by 100 increase the player display score by 100 if the player score is greater than the player display score by 10 increase the player display score by 10 else increase the player display score by 1 when finished move to the next score...and so on. I have thought of using timers to move from one score to the next, but not being in an Event.ENTER_FRAME it only does one if then moves to the next one.
Also the if statement for incrementing the score looks ridiculous and I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do it. I was thinking of making it a separate function but then I wouldn't know what to return, or how to return it so it looks like its increasing and not just showing the total number instantly. I'll try to expand on it a little more.
How do you display a variable in a dynamic text field? (OOP)
View 0 RepliesI 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]...
Basically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

I have a movie where a variable named daysleft will be loaded from an external text file into a dynamic text box, this bit works fine. But I then need the movieclip "numbers" to gotoAndStop to the frame number imported via the variable daysleft. Although daysleft displays on the screen a trace(daysleft); says the variable is undefined.
View 4 RepliesAn onLoadProgress listener object is returning a variable I am using to tell the user what percentage of the movie has been loaded. I am happy with the results of
Code:
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(empty10MC:MovieClip, loaded:Number, total:Number):Void{
//setText();
var percent:Number = loaded/total*100;
loadingTxt.text = beginTxt + percent + endTxt;
however the number returned is like 15 digits long! Is there any way I can limit the variable to display only 1 or 2 decimal places?
i have a dynamic text field on the stage with the instance name of "inputBox". On the same frame i have the following code...
ActionScript Code:
var firstNumber:Number = 3;
var secondNumber:Number = 5;

the above code works perfectly and it does trace back the result. However I'm confused on how i can put the result in the dynamic text field i have on stage. Can i use the instance name to do this...

I'm having trouble passing a number from an input text box to a dynamic text box after a button is clicked.
In timeline I have two frames labeled: 1) inf, which starts with an input text box and a button, and 2) closing, which receives data from inf section.
INF SECTION has an input text box (age_txt) and a button (inf_bt).
var userAge:Number;age_txt.text;
inf_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPg1);
function gotoPg1 (evt:MouseEvent): void{age_txt.text=String(userAge);// user

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 have a movie clip and in that movie clip there is a dynamic text box. I want that text box to display a dynamic variable name something like:

I have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
my_Input_Txt.onChanged = function() {
my_Dyn_Txt1.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt2.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt3.text = my_Input_Txt.text;

I'm trying to make something that will show up in a dynac text field something like this:"[variable1] text text text [varibale2] text text text"I've linked the dynamic text field to a variable "resu" and set it to:var resu = variable1 + "text text text text" + variable2 + "text text text"The only problem is that when I make the variables random, they don't change
View 1 RepliesI have one input box in which you enter a number. That number must be sum plus 5 and the result should appear in a dynamic text box when you press a button.To change the "number" text string you entered in the input box to a real number that Flash understand as a NUMBER I placed "parseInt" and "Number" before the name of my instance objects. This is the action of the button:
Actionscript Code:
enter_btn.onRelease = function(){number_output= parseInt(Number (number_input)[code]....
The problem is that the only result I get is NaN (Not a Number). I have realize (thru traces) that the input number is read as:
Actionscript Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Myriad Pro" SIZE="18" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">5</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
And that is why Flash tells me that the input number is a NaN in the dynamic text box (As I suppose).
