View 1 RepliesI am trying to get a dynamic text box to add text to it when I press a button, How do I get it to add multiple lines? I tried <br>, but how do I get line breaks? Is there a better code that what I am using?

I am playing around with the Lisa Larson tutorial on creating a flash video player with dynamic playlist (XML). I want to add another text field, but am running into trouble with the TileList.How can I create two different labels with TileList and call to them?I want "Title" and "Desc". I can work around it by putting it all into one label, but then I cannot style the title seperate from the description.
Code:
tileList.addItem({label:item.attribute("title").toXMLString() + "
" + item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(),

View 3 RepliesI start to learn actionscript and I wonder how to enter mc position to dynamic text...
so, what I need to write instead of "mouse" in this code:
xval = _root._xmouse;
for get the ball position? (I give the ball the name "ball")
I would like to see a line of a text file on the frame that I want (and view it in a dynamic text). This is my text file:
Foo
Candy
Bar
Dog
This is my code in the first frame:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
firstLine.wordWrap=true;
firstLine.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
With this I can see "Foo" in the first frame. How could I see "Candy"? a second frame. Is it repeated all this code again? Is there any way to just invoke the Lines array:
Array = e.target.data.split (/ n /)
And obtain the desired Item?
I need to know if there is a simple way to count the number of lines in a Dynamic Textbox?
View 0 RepliesSo today I got an question: Is there anyway to count lines from an textbox?
View 0 RepliesI have a project I am trying to put together that includes closed captioning with a scrollbar (standard flash component). In my navigation file I have a text box with a dynamic text box with _level10.ccText as the Var
I have a series of pages that get called into a level below the navigation file. On each of them I have code in an actions frame _level10.ccText = "text text text text";
The text displays fine in the text box but when I scroll down the scrollbar scrolls down too far. The text gets to the end and the scrollbar is only about halfway down the bar. If I keep pushing the down button or drag the slider it will go all the way down but my text doesn't move. Its almost like there are extra lines somewhere that it is trying to scroll to.
is it possible to count the number of lines in a dynamic textfield?

using buttons to enter digits into a dynamic text field. An example would be an atm machine, where you select digits 0 - 9, you can hit OK or Cancel to clear the field. I can use...
on (release) {
AddDigit("1");
}
...to enter the individual digits.Things that I am unclear about:
(1) How do I link the various buttons to the specific text field.
(2) How do I create the OK button to initiate another action, such as playing a movieclip etc.
(3) How do I cancel the items currently in the field.

View 4 RepliesIs there a way to hide partially shown text lines on a dynamic textfield that has more text than its size can hold? I want to avoid the situation found on the picture below by simply not showing the areas in red (the text comes from lots of sources, so I don't have control over it).
View 2 RepliesI have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.

I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)
I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.
I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.
I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..
Using Flash in CS3, actionscript v 2.0 What I want to do:User can open a text file, and answer 5 yes or no questions, then save the file.Those yes/no answers are loaded as dynamic text onto the stage inside a movieclip Depending on the answers, the navigation buttons will only go to the sections, (in this case, keyframes on the main timeline) that have a "yes" answer. Esentially, this would allow multiple navigation options, that are input dynamically from the text file.
Here is the actionscript that I have on one of the buttons. I realize that each button will have to be scripted indivudually, but I can't even get this one to work. It reads the "if" and the "else", but ignores the "else if" parts.Note that my dynamic text fields are named 1, 2, 3, and are inside the movie clipe "test_text" which is on the main timeline.
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.test_text.1 == "yes") {
gotoAndStop(25);

and am getting a syntax error message for the first line, the myData=new LoadVars bit... i have tried multiple ways of doing the myData method and only errors. seems like others have had success with this.. any help? i've looked all over and have not found a solution...part 2, for brave souls. so, from the txt file i want to load into separate frames (either 2 iframes or an iframe and a dynamic text field).. nothing i've tried with this has been working either. i think this is more of an html formatting issue. tried to add a line of javascript, but flash wasn't having it.
URL...Go to Category Recent News and Press -> Store Design and Visual Merchandising etc..In that page, you will see that the text content are divided evenly to multiple column.
View 2 RepliesAfter quite a bit of hair-pulling elsewhere on the web, I finally found "Loading Text from External Sources," which talks about loading multiple text files into a dynamic scrolling field.Url...Ok, got that to work great; now the problem I'm having is that my text is longer than the example.So when I click on my second text file, it loads scrolled to the same position as I scrolled to on the first text file.In other words, my text files aren't loading to the top of the dynamic text field...they're loading into the middle after the first button is clicked.
View 5 RepliesI 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.
I have a button (movieclip) that I want to make multiple instances of with different labels.I have a dynamic text field in the movieclip, and a second frame for the rollover state.I also created a dynamic text field for the rollover state and gave it the same instance name as the first one. Shouldn't it display the same text across both states?
View 10 RepliesMy game is rather dependant on dynamic text fields, for giving players in game hints, signalling to them how far they've progressed (round/wave), how many points they've scored for destroying an enemy ect.
It's come to my attention that, the game lags whenever I update these dynamic text boxes. This happens particularly with the in game messages, (black glow filter) that fade in and out. Without any dynamic text messages at all, the game seems to run fine even on battery saving mode/slow computers.
Is there anyway to keep the dynamic text and get rid of the lag? I think I've tried all the different options for the textfields (I'm using CS4):Character Embedding Bitmap/Antialiazed text (Bitmap works slightly better) Multiline/single line Non selectable [URL]..
Is there a way for when you set the dynamic text to have multiple colors inside of it?
Like have a sub string for the first word, and make the blue... Then the rest of it is red?
I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?
