View 1 RepliesLoad And Retrieve Multiple Data Fields From Text File
Aug 25, 2010I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.

May 25, 2010I have got a dynamic text field that has had number placed into it by a using voting. What I'm trying to do is get actionscript to check the number (which I have assigned a variable to) and then based on if its less then 2, equal to 2 or more than 2 to get it to load a frame of another movieclip at a certain frame. Sorry not explaining it very well but heres the code:

votesForBatman is the variable I assigned to the final number in the Dynamic text field, with finalvoteresults being the movieclip that I want to load based on the votesForBatman dynamic text field variable. All are in the same movieclip so should not be an issue with_root or anything like that... Is it even possible to get a variable to load a movieclip?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Multiple External HTML Text Fields With Style Sheets?
May 7, 2010Site loads two flash files at the same time with multiple dynamic text fields that load .html files with external css style sheets. The site works almost perfectly when viewed offline, but when you upload it the text boxes sometimes load and sometimes do not. I'm a graphic designer so I really don't know actionscript 3.0 (or any version) very well... so I'm attaching the footer .fla file which by itself suffers from the same problem, and the other files are too big to upload so here is the link to the other .fla file used on the homepage

Mar 24, 2010I'm working on a project with a flex component that I designed in flash and exported as a swc. The moment I changed two of the text fields in the flex component to from static to dynamic text fields, my app started throwing an error when I create a new instance of the flex component. I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@1dddb179 to flash.display.MovieClip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Dynamic Data Into Text Fields Within Flash (.swf)
May 2, 2011I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).
My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:
Computer 1 would have winner 1
Computer 2 would have winner 2
and so one........
Steps the code should do..
1. call function and load the "unique (name)." of the computer by going to ("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 1
2.then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
when i publish the file out there is no errors-
When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")
so my guess it is not seeing the path for new URLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");
or
new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields?
Jun 7, 2006I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;
[code]....
Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Dynamic Text On Not Yet Visible Text Fields?
Nov 4, 2009Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:
this["text_1"].text = "Hello";
The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.
Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.
Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Control Multiple Text Fields?
Feb 23, 2010I am working on a program that has several text fields and I need to control them all very simply by using actionscript. I have an idea how to do it, I just don't know if it is possible. Here is the basic idea:
I have 20 sets of text fields with 3 text field each. The first set are named "firstNumber1", "secondNumber1", and "total1"; the second set are named "firstNumber2", "secondNumber2", and "total2"; and so on an so forth. What I want them to do is add the first number and second number to reach the total. Rather than writing this formula 20 times
PHP Code:
total1.text=firstNumber1.text+secondNumber1.text;
I would like to do them in the following manner:
PHP Code:
for(i=1;i<=20;i++){
"total"+i+".text"="firstNumber"+i+".text"+"secondNumber"+i+".text";
//if i=6, formula should be total6.text=firstNumber6.text+secondNumber6.text;
}
The problem I face is that Flash doesn't recognize what I am trying to do. I have tried several variations, but I haven't figured out how to write the command so that it will do them all with one group of code.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Add The Values From Multiple Text Fields?
Apr 8, 2011What I have is two buttons that when clicked they add an input text field and a third button that puts a text field and gives you the total value of the two input fields after the user inputs some numbers, the problem is that the buttons adding the input fields can be clicked multiple times and of course adding a new input field each time they are clicked and as you can imagine when I try to add the values I only get the result of the last two fields added.
How can I tweak my code so it adds-up the total value of all input fields on the stage?
I didnt test my code it may have some errors, I just put it together to show the concept.
ActionScript Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addTotal);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Populate A Set Of Dynamic Text Fields With Text
Aug 15, 2007I'm trying to populate a set of dynamic text fields with text using a for() loop and cant seem to get it to work.I have 9 seperate dynamic text boxes each labled picNum0 - picNum8. I want to read a number of pictures from an external file then have those numbers populate 1 through 9 into the text fields.I get the variables loaded in with the correct values but the text fields wont populate.[code]When I trace(curPic) inside the for(){} it outputs: picNum0 - picNum8, so I know that the variables are allocating ok, but dynamic text fields arent populating with the correct numbers.

View 2 RepliesCan't Get Dynamic Text Fields To Work
Sep 29, 2009I'm trying to make this guessing game where you have to guess how many times a penguin will bounce off the water surface before it sinks The way I'm planning to do it is kind of like this:
1.[Script telling textbox to add +1] >>
2.[Bounce animation] >>
3.[Script that randomly sends you to point 1, or 4] >>
4.[Ending animation]
Yeah, and right now I'm desperately trying to get that dynamic text field to work ...I've made a button with this code:
(The textbox is called "test")
on (release) {
test ++;
}
And on the first frame of the timeline I've added this:
stop();
point = 0;
I've tried changing names, tried adding "_root." (_root.test ...) nothing works!
IDE :: Kerning Dynamic Text-fields?
Jun 11, 2007What I'm doing is that I want to create textfields using flash and insert them into my HTML portfolio site.The reason I'm doing this is to be able to use special fonts, kern the text properly and customize the anti-aliasing. I tried with CSS but I don't have enough control using that (regarding kerning and anti-aliasing).I have created a Flash file that can load specific .txt files into the textfield of the SWF (so that the text becomes formatted), using FlashVars. I discovered that kerning in Flash doesn't apply to dynamic textfields unless you set it using actionscript. So I've tried to use the following code on my textfield:
---
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.letterSpacing = 3;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Fields From XML?
Mar 6, 2009I'm populating dynamic text fields within (timeline) animated movieclips. For some reason, this only works with the first movieclip even though the rest are formatted identically. I'm getting no errors.I can load other nodes into this MC so I think the XML and the code targeting the nodes seems fine (tracing the node values works as well).
The problem seems to be with the target movieclips, however I cannot find any differences in their settings compared to the one that is working. AS and XML below:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = -4;

I have attached the FLA and XML for reference, version CS4.

Professional :: Using HTML In Dynamic Text Fields - CS4?
Mar 4, 2010Is there a way to type HTML directly into a TextField in Flash CS4? I've created a TextField on the stage, set it to dynamic, set "Render text as HTML" and thought that I could then type HTML directly into the TextField and that it would be rendered as such. Instead it displays whatever HTML I type as regular text.
I assume then that the only way to get HTML into one of these fields is to dynamically load it into the TextField through the htmlText property. Is this right? And if so, what exactly is the purpose of having a "Render text as HTML" button in the first place? Couldn't I just load the HTML into the TextField through the htmlText property anyways?
Well, at any rate, I was really hoping to use as much of the flash interface for the project I'm working on, such that anyone who didn't know AS3 could easily update it themselves. Now it's looking like not only will they have to know AS3 and HTML, but also have to deal with the hassle of formatting what will potentially be a complex system of images, textfields, and videos all in AS3 with no visual interface.
Is it too much to ask to be able to just highlight some text and make it bold or italic? That's really all I need, sadly.
