IDE :: Display Dynamic Text When The Instance Name Of The Text Box To Do The Displaying Is Dynamically Stored Within A Variable?
Nov 6, 2009There'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:

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:

ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Dynamic Text To Display A Variable
Jan 25, 2009Just 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.

Oct 9, 2010I have a timer that counts up to 60.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Display That Variable's State In A Dynamic Text Box That Is Inside 1 Movie Clip
Jul 16, 2010Basically 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.

Nov 2, 2011I 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.

IDE :: Display Input Text In Dynamic Text Boxes?
Jul 25, 2009I 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;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Box Refuses To Display Given Variable?
Dec 15, 2010So in my game I have a text box that tracks ammo, using this code:
Code:
ammocount.text = String(this.ammo);
called every frame
I have used Trace to determine that String(this.ammo) does produce the correct value every time, however the text box after each shot displays either "1", "11" or is blank at random
no other lines of code address the .text value of the box
Setting ammocount.text to any manually entered value results in a blank text box, ammocount.text must be the property I'm looking for otherwise the 1s and 11s could never get into the text box
We can logically deduce hence that this is a bug in AS3 and since gutting whichever retarded adobe employee is responsible isn't an option I'm wondering if its documented, and if so what workarounds are known, and how best to avoid the issue
ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Dynamic Text Box And Assign Text To Its Variable That Doesn't Work
Nov 23, 2011I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Variable As Text In Dynamic Text Field?
May 24, 2010This 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 >_<
