ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Load External Text On Click?
Mar 3, 2011
Alright, so may be I'm an idiot but after playing with this code for hours I'm unsuccessful in getting this to work.All I want to do is load external text into a text box when I click on a button. I'm trying to execute this in AS3. I know how to do this in AS2 but I need to start working in AS3. Here is the code I've been using and keep getting errors.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("testText.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadIt);
[code]......

I am loading swfs into a movie clip. However, the contact button is not a loaded swf any longer. It's in the main flash page. This is what I want to do. All the buttons load the external swfs except when I click on the contact button that is in the main flash page. I need to get the other buttons to load after I click the contact flash button. Below is the code for the contact button and the one under for one of the other buttons.

I'm creating a site for someone who wants to update their news section, however they want the whole site done in flash. I've seen some stuff out there for xml & using .txt files, however i dont think they will fully understand this concept and instead bug the hell out of me for ever and a day.
Is there any way i can load text from say an html file (with them using a wysiwyg editor) or Word (and saving as html) and have that displayed in the window?The other option i guess may be php based, having them use a blog and that goes directly into the space but i have no idea how to do that or which blogs to use (that have been tried, tested and are child proof).

I want to constantly reload data from a text file on a website, and make that data the .x property of a movieclip. Like this: movieclip.x = int(externallyLoadedData);I know how to do this, but I want it so I can ftp rewrite the text file with a different number, and the flash movie updates live without having to refresh/restart. How would I do this?

How do I wait for an external .txt file to load in ActionScript 3? If I use URLLoader, I have no guarantee that the file has loaded, since it dispatches an event when it's complete. I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.

I was getting in to transitioning from AS2 to AS3 a while back and had designed a page that had menu buttons that when clicked, loaded an external swf in to a container. Pretty simple accept for the fact that it was a while ago and my computer crashed so I'm having to redo this and learn it all over again. I have read in to flash on the subject but I am not to sure on the best way to go about this. I know there are a lot of people on here who make thing a lot more simple and structured than I do. I'm so used to putting the actionscript on the button and I'm a little stuck on the best way to combine the actionscript for the button and loading the swf. I would need to make a button load an external swf in to a container when clicked? I figure I just need one and then I can copy it to all the other menu buttons.

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

if you open up the TEST.swf you can see how I want my transition to look like.. everything works perfectly.. then if you open the Load.swf and click one of those red buttons.. it loads up the external swf.. but if you click another button it loads up the same external thing.the difference between Load.swf and TEST.swf is that in Load.swf is container in which the TEST.swf is loaded..

I am making a site where each page has a 'mini menu' and when you click on each item you get different text, problem is, I am having real trouble loading my text in, I have tried loads of different tutorials and there always seems to be errors.
I also know for a fact that as soon as i actually get this working, some other error will come up when I want to make the text change (or another text box to become visible) when you click the menu item.
I have attached an image of a page from my site, hopefully someone will be able to work out what i mean from this description, there is more info as comments in my actions window.

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

I know how to load external text, but I am trying to have it load into a masked movie clip so then I can use a custom scroller to scroll the text up and down. The problem is that I can't get the scrollbar to scroll the text at all. If I just put in type in text into the movie clip, it scrolls fine. I have checked my paths and everything is correct...
