I have a simple dynamic textfield with the variable name total_txt. Why am I getting an error with this code?
Code:
var myNum:Number = 0.00;
total_txt.text = myNum;
I'm assuming it's because the textfield is only wanting to read a string and not a number, but how do I output a number to a dynamic textfield?
I created a project ih a lot of traces everywhere. Now, is there any way to put the whole output text into a dynamic textfield ? I'm searching for a way to do so with AS3.
View 2 RepliesSo an array walks into a dynamic text field and says. I have an array that I am trying to output into a dynamic text field via this function:
Code:
Barcelona = ["Barcelona:", "Apple", "25 - ", "2"];
Output_Array = function(array_name) {
for(i=0; i<array_name.length; i++) {
output_txt.text += array_name[i]
output_txt.text += " "
}}
It outputs the array just fine, but what I want to do is add in a line break here and there to make it more beautiful. In the dynamic text field properties there is an option for "Render text as HTML". With the option checked I tried adding in <br> and/or <p> HTML tags but all it does is prints out the "<br>" instead of making a new line. (I also have the text field set to Multiline.) Is there anyway to get it to have a line break?
I am trying to output my cart array into a dynamic text field and format it. After the user clicks 'add' I am using...
ActionScript Code:
//insert product data into cart array
details.push([ItemCode,ItemColor,SecondColor,Price,Description]);
//reset text box
var textoutput:String = "";
//loop through contents
[Code] .....
How can I format each value? Ineed some sort of neat table style output but how to do this in flash.

This is my code:
onClipEvent(load) {
test = new Date();
}[code]....
But the output is always the same number the whole time. Is there anything wrong with my code?
test.fla has the document class test.as. This is test.as:
Code: Select all// test.as
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class test extends MovieClip

Why is it so? I want to be able to output the value of number through the document class like I showed in the code of test.as above.
i have a set of buttons outputted by using an array/loop (through xml).
when i click on a button i want to get the array number of the specific item i click on.
here's my logic:
Code:
for(i = 0; i < totalList; i++) {
this.container["item_" + i].bg.onRelease = function () {
itemClicked = this[i];
trace(itemClicked);
}
}
so basically i need to know what i would replace this[i] with in order for it to actually output it's array number.
Is possible to display all the information in the Output folder into a textField on the stage ?
I need to debug after publishing and I can't replace each single "trace" functon.
I'm trying to Have multiple buttons that when clicked on, they display a text unique to each button. I don't want it to simply throw a textfield on top of the old one but rather to hide the other text field and insert a new one.
ActionScript Code:
var fl_TF:TextField;
var fl_TextToDisplay:String = "Text 1";
var fl_TextToDisplay2:String = "Text 2";
[code]....
Clicking on 'button', it displays the proper text.Then when I click on 'hider' button, it displays the right text and takes the text from 'button' away.However, the file crashes when I click on 'hider' first. Also, clicking on 'button' a second time doesn't take away the text that 'hider' symbol produces.
i am trying to output the content of an array into a textfield.
For instance this is my array:
var MyArray:Array = ["item 1","item 2","item 3","item 4","item 5"];
And trying to output to textfield via a for loop and a textfield with an instance name "products".
for(var i:Number=0; i<MyArray.length; i++){
products.text = MyArray[i];
}
My problem is that this only outputs the last item in my array into the textfield. But not all of the items..
I am building a dynamic multi-line textfield that has a backdrop so I need to know about the height of the TextField. Strangely TextField.height will almost always return the right results. But sometimes (e.g. when the last line only has one word) it will return a wrong value with the last line missing. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this known to happen. And is there a good workaround? Should I use getBounds instead?[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm stuck on this tutorial trying to learn how arrays functions. My task is to declare a variable, write an array, loop through the array and output the match in a textfield already created on stage. This code does that, but it gives me the match in number, instead of writing the name I get the number from the array, 2. How can I get the textfield to display the name Stian?
var bestevenn:String = 'Stian'
var mineVenner:Array= new Array();mineVenner[0]='Janne';mineVenner[1]='Liv';mineVenner[2]='Stian';mineVenner[3]='Henri

What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.

I have a dynamic textfield on my stage with the instance name trackText.
I have declared public var trackText:TextField;.
When I trace trackText.text it gives me exactly what I expect but the actual text on the stage does not update.
public var trackText:TextField;
trackText.text = audioPlayer.currentSong.title;
trace("trackText = " + trackText.text);
// gives me what i expect "track 1" etc..
but the text on the stage still says "loading..."

View 4 RepliesI have a dynamic text box with the instance name "output" and three buttons (btn_A, btn_B, btn_C). What I want is when you press a button the corresponding letter should appear in the text box. What I have so far is this:

I have an assignment where we have to have part of our ecard accept input such as a user name and in another frame output the value as dynamic text. This was really easy in AS2 which is what we mostly learned in class. However I am almost done and it is all AS3 so far.
How do I take the value typed in an input box Push a submit button which takes me to another frame Output the value of that input?
If it matters my flow is kind of weird. Preloader. frame 1 Then i jump to say frame 100 for a sequence Back to frame 3 for a navigation / interactive area.
My code so far is :
stop();
var textInput:TextField = new TextField();
textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textInput.border = true;
