ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing Text From XML File, " " Not Working?
Mar 24, 2011
I'm currently trying to set up my game so it pulls in all text from an external XML file (to make switching between different languages easier). The problem is that on several occasions I need to use the special code "" to start a new line (for formatting purposes) but when I'm pulling the text in from the XML file this is not starting a new line any more - it is just appearing as normal in the text. (e.g "Here is some example game text") How do I get around this?

How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

I am working in Flash CS4 (AS3).What I have created is basically a simple photo gallery. About 5 thumbs that when rolled over a larger version appears. Both the thumbnail images and larger images are loading dynamically.I've got that working.What it's missing is a headline and a sub headline for each pic that comes up. I need to do this from an external text file.
I was able to do this with AS2.AS3 not so much. How do I control the content of multiple dynamic text boxes on different places throughout the timeline with an external text file in AS3? I just want to name different text boxes different names and have the external text file pass the variables into my swf for each text box.

I would like to import text from a XML file into a dynamic text field. The XML file contains database records. I have found that Flash does not support the DOM command 'getElementsByTagName()' which I was endeavouring to use to find the record in the XML file that I wanted to associate with a particular dynamic text field.
Is there any other way to search through the XML file for the particular record I am looking for?

I created a very complex Illustrator file and imported it into Flash. ALL of the text objects were:
1. invisible!, and
2. moved to the top left corner for the document!

I'm importing a large text file and trying to print it with a footer. My method for all of this is very simple. I'm dynamically creating a sprite container that is fed to the the printjob() class. Inside that I'm creating a dynamic text field and scaling it to the right page height/width (408x574) and adding a footer below that.
Using a loop, I'm scrolling the text field to the top of the next page and adding the page number to the footer and adding the page to the job. Mostly, this works fine, but I'm noticing some lines from the text field are not printing. This happens at the page breaks and is not consistent across different printers I use.

I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file.When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.

I am having an issue where if I import a graphic to the library or directly to the stage, it causes my movie to stop on frame #1, even though the graphic is on frame #40. I have tried a .png, .jpg, and .psd and they all cause this behavior. I have put other graphics in and never had this issue.

I've got a flash movie with a menu that jumps to a particular frame to load a page. On that frame, there is a movie clip (instance name: scrollbox_frame), and in that movie clip there is a four-layer animation. One of the layers is not animated but contains a dynamic text box (instance name: about_frame), with multi-line and HTML turned on, and a variable name of "aboutus". This is the code that is triggered by the menu button on the root of the flash movie:
Code:
myVariables = new LoadVars();
myVariables.load("text1.txt");
myVariables.onLoad = function(success){

Is it possible to import a swf file into a Flash file with a transparent background so you can still see the main movie underneath? Also, I would only want the swf file to play on a certian number of frames. By the way I have the original flash file of the swf I want to import.

I have been searching on this and from what I have read in some posts I found through google it seems that it is possible to import an .mp4 file to flash.... I am unable to do this so far and wondering if it is in fact possible to do this.. if so, does anyone know of any decent .avi to .mp4 conversion software that will allow the mp4 to be imported to flash as the ones I have tried so far are not allowing the mp4 to be imported.

Within Photoshop I added some 17 new image layers, then I copied (from an existing image layer) and pasted the layer style onto the newly added image layers. Everything went fine in Photoshop. All images show up correctly with the correct layer style in place, meaning the shadows showing up correctly.Anyhow, once I import the .PSD into Flash CS4 the new image layers show up with darker shadows (100% instead of 50/75% opacity)

Is there any way I can import symbols from another .fla file ? For my game I have a file named background.fla that has several backgrounds and I want to import from it and change it when needed. Is there any way I can do that ?
Also after what I read if i want to import a .swf file in my main .fla it will loose all it's code, but I want to import a character and use it with gotoAndPlay() and gotoAndStop().
And I have one last question if I may, I have the basic knowledge of OOP and from what I know it's imposible: I want to create a class, create an instance of it in my main .fla and somehow make that class control the code from my main file. I found a way with timers, but it's pretty expensive on memory...

When I tried to import an Illustrator CS5 file into Flash CS5, I got an error from Windows saying that the program "stopped working" and it was searching for solutions to the problem. When it found no solutions, it said that it had to close the program. I've tried three times now and the same thing keeps happening.

ok i have used the code snippets in cs5 that grabs a .swf online and shows it in the flash file. However this is not exactly what i want.
Instead of the command triggering from a click i want the movie to load automatically. How?
Also is there any way of getting a .swf file and importing it into a new flash document? i have tried all the methods out but the .wf does not actually work properly. I cant just copy the timelines over as i dont have access to the one file all i have is tthe .swf -
So either i grab it from my server or if there is a way to import it into the flash that actually works.

I have a PSD file with layers that I am trying to import into Flash. The problem that I am having is that the text effects that I have applied in Photoshop are not transferring into Flash. All I get is the Font, Font size, and color. But I used Drop Shadow on some of the and some other effects as well. None of these are transferring over to Flash. Do I have to save them in a certain way i n Photoshop in order to effect the transfer. I want to be clear. I am not trying to import text effects as separate layers or anything complicated. I just want the text to look like it does in photoshop.

I downloaded a sample flash that contains a class file.When try to run the file get the "1172: Definition be.nascom.flash.graphics:Rippler could not be found." error. Rippler is the name of the file and I think be.nascom.flash.graphics is the authors directory structure. I think the error is because the file is not in the right location that Flash is expecting it to be in to find it.

I can't seem to figure out why only one out of the five text fields show when I export my fla. The title and images work fine but none of the other descriptors are not working. What am I doing wrong? I checked my instance names and they all match. I've tried using .text and .HTMLText in the AS and nothing.
