ActionScript 3.0 :: Image In Dynamic TextField Not Linking
Jun 22, 2010
Yesterday I spotted what seemed to be a minor issue with having a linked image in a dynamic textField. Basically, this doesn't work as expected:
HTML Code:
myField.htmlText = "<a href="[URL]"><img src="image1.jpg" /></a>";
You get the hand cursor when you mouse over the image, but clicking does nothing, unless you inadvertantly click an invisible 1px border around the image.
I've tried:
Loading an external image (<img src="images/image.jpg" />)
Loading a bitmap in the library (img src="myImage" />)
Loading a movieclip from the library (img src="myMC" />)Using textField.getImageReference:
myField.htmlText = "<a href="[URL]"><img src="image1.jpg" id="myImage" /></a>";
var imageButton:DisplayObject = myField.getImageReference("myImage");
imageButton.buttonMode = true;
But absolutely nothing works. All of the data being loaded is from a database, and I've got a couple of lengthy methods in mind that I could use to dynamically attach movieclips with link references, but it involves edits to MySQL, the XML output and a couple of PHP files, as well as the AS.
After a creating a new test file from scratch, it seems that the real culprit is when you embed a font into the textfield. I initially tested a new textfield with absolutely no formatting and the linked image worked perfectly. As soon as I added a font to the library and embedded that into my textfield, the link stopped working.

I have a dynamic textfield which i fill with HTML-text from an XML-file. This exceeds one page, and I would like to print it on several pages. How can I do this, when I use printjob.start it only prints one page...? And is it possible to track a word that is clicked? (to use as a link to other pages..)

I have a dynamic text field called a_txt on stage. And following code
Code:
a_txt.html=true;
a_txt.htmlText="<p>Currently there exists a temporary <p><img src='ico.jpg' height='25px' width='25px'></p>setup to compile the documents in to a self running CD (flash presentation).
So basically I'm embedding an image in the dynamic textfield, which is html enabled using img tag.
However the img sticks either to the left or right border of the textfield (by using align attribute of img).
But if I want to place the image anywhere between the text, tht's not possible.

I want to find a relatively easy solution for deep dynamic linking within flash. There are plenty of tutorials out there, so please don't jump to the conclusion that I haven't done a search. What I am looking for is a tutorial that should theoretically be easy to follow for someone who is a non-coder.

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 have a Flex app I built. It uses the BrowserManager class to listen for changes in the # part of the URL. When a change is made to the hash my application updates accordingly so you can link directly to a state of the application. Also inside my programming when a user clicks something, all I do is use the BrowserManager to update the # and then my listener will apply the correct changes once its finished. I believe this is the best practice way to doing this in Flex.
I have some issues though. When using the Back button in FF or IE, it gets "stuck". for example if the hash is like #state4 clicking the back button will take you to #state3 then #state2 but sometimes get stuck where you can be on #state3 click the back button, see it flicker to #state2 real quick then change back to #state3 preventing you from going back any further in your history.

If you compile a Flash project into a .swf file and that project refers to another .swf file, is it linked statically or dynamically? That is, is the second .swf file contained physically in the first .swf file or does the first .swf file refer to the second at run-time?

I do have a mc with a dynamic text box in it, this dynamic text box is linked to an texternal text file where I have the text I wanted to be shown in my mc when I publish the movie.
When you see the text in the movie I want to be able to use part of the text as a button to redirect the timeline to another scene and exact frame. For the moment I try everything I could but no luck.
This is the script I have in the text file for the monent and is redirecting to frame 11 in the same mc.
myHTMLdata=<p><font color="#999999">.................................. .................................................. .............................................</font></p><p><i><a href='asfunction:gotoAndPlay,11'>Tower Ultramort</a>
My question is what is missing in my script if a want to link the text Tower Ultramort to and scene call spultramort frame 11.
This is very important because I do have the website with dynamic text boxes all over it and I need to link them to different scenes.
Here is the link for the website: [URL]

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

I've made an image map in Flash using AS3, however it does not seem to be working properly. The links only work in a strange succession. In order to click all the links you must first click the last link followed by the first link, then the second link. After that the image map behaves as it is supposed to. I'm not sure why this is happening. It complies without error and aside from the little quirk mentioned above, it works beautifully. I've checked and double checked the AS, even copied and pasted some code from one button to another to see if it would make a difference, but to no avail. I am using the code listed below:
[quote] button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink1); function callLink1 (event: MouseEvent) :void { var url:String = ("http://www.google.com"); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url); try { navigateToURL (request, "_parent"); } catch (e:Error) { trace ("Error occurred!"); } [/quote]

building a dynamic gallery using PHP and mySQL. So far I am able to load the thumbnails from my database, and create an onPress event for each thumbnail. I can get a static .jpg to load, but I can't get the thumbnial to link with the corresponding fullsize image dynamically.
Basically I have loaded the filenames from the database into two arrays: thumbnails[] and fullsize[]. I know the database is working perfectly, I can load the fullsize images or the thumbnails into the thumbnail placeholders.

For the music player that I've designed and am making come to life in actionscript 2.0, I'd like to have a custom made image be shown for the entirety of the song that it corresponds to. I've already made the images for each of the three songs, but now I just need to figure out how to make them show inside the player every time it's matching song plays. I should add, that I've made a default image for the player as well, that I'd like to be shown, whenever a song is not playing.
Additionally, there is a "Play All Songs" button that is already operational on the player and plays 3 songs in succession. How would I go about adding the 3 images to be shown consecutively, as each song plays? The way the button is set up, I joined all 3 of the songs together with a 3 second space in between, as a single music file. So the button contains only one file that plays all 3 songs, not a separate one for each of the them.

I'm creating a playlist for a music player, and I've got the song names displaying correctly in my songTitle holder MC, but there's limited space for the song names to be shown in, and I'm going to eventually have it inside a scrolling movieclip. Problem is, the text inside the textfields disappear when I try to add a mask to the movieclip they're being loaded into. I've tried adding all combos of embedFonts, antialias, and blendModes I ran into, to no avail.how to mask dynamically created textfields with a non-dynamic (Flash IDE-made) mask.
Code:
for (var i:int = 1; i <= _size; i++) {
var pl_artist:TextField = new TextField;
//all embedFont = true and antiAlias commands no workie
}

I am busy converting my online digital portfolio from AS2 to AS3. I have made a new .fla and placed within it only the elements that relate to my question, to greatly simplify things so it is easy to see what I want to do.Lets say I have 3 movieclip buttons, which do three things when hovered over :
1. play a shine animation
2. move slightly
3. cause a tooltip description to appear / fade in, somewhere else on screen.
When mouse moves off, the above 3 things revert to normal and the description fades out.These buttons serve to show a description of the relevant project in my projects folder (project1.html, peoject2.html and project3.html, for demonstration purposes), and to link to them when clicked. The point is that I am trying to do this dynamically, so I have one movieclip(called descriptions) that contains all the descriptions each on its own frame, and use something like
//pseudocode
when button 1 is hovered over, descriptions.goToAndStop(1);
It is difficult for me to explain - but if you just run my swf and also take a quick look at my code (its not a lot) you will know exactly what I am trying to do.
In summary: Basically if you run my swf, you will see 3 buttons. When you hover over each, they are all saying Description 1, but I want button 1 to show description 1 and button 2 to show description 2 etc.Key items / code to look at inside the .fla are :
1. the first frame on the main timeline, actionscript layer - the code
2. the descriptionsHolder movieclip on the descriptions layer
3. the projectDescriptions movieclip inside the descriptionsHolder movieclip
4. the dynamic button (double click any of the buttons) - this is the idea I want for the descriptions too, its a reusable button that has the label 'button1' on all 3 buttons but with some code - the labels change at runtime to button1, button2 and button3.
5. the code inside the dynamic button movieclip on frame 1, actionscript layer.
6. note the buttonLabel movieclip inside the button movieclip, same thing I want done for the descriptions.
6. Also to please note, my code for linking each button to a project (not working)- that I also want to be a reusable function, for assigning a variable to contain the link for the dynamic button, depending on which instance of it is clicked -> go to either project1.html, project2,html or project3.html. I am trying to 'think like a programmer' and use modular, dynamic stuff, but it seems I am having trouble assigning variables or individual frames at runtime to multiple instances of the same dynamic movieclip.
