ActionScript 3.0 :: Generating And Animating Text Boxes For Dynamic XML Amounts?
May 25, 2009
AS3 to animate dynamic xml text values to -X direction means left side of the screen. The text boxes will be holding dynamic numbers which willl be basically some amounts passed by the user and these amounts will be animated as running towards left. For getting these dynamic text values from an external XML file every n second say every 5 second the xml connection will be refreshed with a timer. Now am working on is like creating text boxes at run time as per the number of amounts coming to the flash while refreshing once. Here the issue what am facing is like first time when the flash loads then there will be some 10 values so 10 text boxes will be generated and the movieclip holding these will be moving to -x direction with a timer, so when the next time the connection refreshes its again creating new text boxes and appending the movieclip and this process repeats in every refresh, if a new value is coming to the flash may be in 6th refreshing time then to see this new values there is a big delay happening because all the old generated set of amounts has to be moved to see the new one. Here we are looking for a instant change on these amounts once the new values gets to flash.

I am trying to make an application that will load XML data into a scrolling info bar and then continually scroll the information without a break (so there is no gap in the display). The textField and container movie clips are created dynamically and then animated once the XML has loaded. I am having problems though as when I choose to duplicate the MC that has the text loaded into it I can't see the text. I have tried two methods of duplicating the movie clip:

I've made a little file with some signpost movie clips that do a little animation on mouseover and mouseout. I then wanted to set the text on each of them via actionscript i.e. sign1.sign_text.text = "Checklist: Before you arrive"; etc. This code puts all the right text on the signs when it loads, however as soon as you mouseover it, the text reverts back to the original placeholder text in the movieclip (when it gets to the second keyframe). How can I keep the reference to the text it has at the beginning of the movie clip?

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 implement a feature like the text boxes in adobe photoshop. I want my user to be able to add a text box to the stage that they can move(drag and drop) and go back and change the text later. I also want to be able to keep track of the text boxes so I can let the user change the color, etc. How can I do this?

I had a form working fine at [URL] and then I edited something that made it screw up. I have been poring over the code but I can't figure out what I did wrong.look at the Contacts page and tell me if you can discern what would cause the lettering in the dynamic text boxes.

This might be straight forward, but I would like to know how could one link dynamic text boxes so that the information would flow? In a way, the information would flow from:
(XML) Input A into BOXA00, BOXA01, BOXA02, BOXA03, etc.
(XML) Input B into BOXB00, BOXB01, BOXB02, BOXB03, etc.
(XML) Input C into BOXC00, BOXC01, BOXC02, , BOXC03, etc.

I'm having trouble with subtracting hp (a number in a dynamic text box). There's a variable on the main timeline for hp, and I'm trying to edit this when the character takes a hit.My character has over 350 hp at the beginning, but after one hit, it goes down to something like 1 or 6, and then after the next couple hits it'll go back to something in the 100s or 200s.
I used this code to that the health off:
_root.hp = _root.hp-random(150);

I am working on a exam program in Flash CS5. There's a page that displays the scores for each test a user has completed; and on that page I'm putting a print button so the users can print the results. So far I've found only one script that will actually work to print anything at all[code]...
The dynamic text boxes are supposed to be placed inside a movie clip called "proforma" and you're supposed to be able to place it anywhere, even off the stage - but where it apparently worked for the person in the thread I found it in, it doesn't work in my program. I don't know if it prints the dynamic text boxes; I can't get that far, because when I click print using this script, it tries to print every single frame in the program and practically kills my computer in the process, trying to spool so many pages.

I have created an array, however, when I go to call up this array within a dynamic text box, for instance, putting 'varname[1]', into the variable field. However, this does not return a result. Is there something I'm doing wrong here, or do I have to feed the array into normal variables for the dynamic text box to be able to read it?

I need some input text to read the same in both a dynamic and input text field, but I need the input text field to be left-aligned with a smaller font size than the dynamic text field. I tried left-aligining the input text field in Flash, and it just converted it back when I tested the movie. I have given both fields the same variable. How can I accomplish this?

I've figured out how to pull text from the database with ASP and populate it in an array that uses looping duplicating movie clips to display.
But.. If the text is longer than the movie clip that is duplicating it gets cut off and the next one in the loop is duplicated below it.

Creating 3 dynamic text fields (caption, caption1 and caption2) on stage loading from XML. First set of data loads fine into respectable fields from XML, however buttons are not changing data on click. Working in Flash 8 using standard XML format. I have traced succesfully. All fields are on main frame (simple test page), but I am still not getting a response from my handlers on prev and next buttons.
