ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Different Areas Of Text File
Dec 10, 2009
I've been looking for a tutorial that loads different variables in a text file to different textfield/textbox in flash using AS3. So my text file would look like this:
myVariable1=<p class='header'>Headline1</p><br>Subtext content 1
myVariable2=<p class='header'>Headline2</p><br>Subtext content 2
myVariable3=<p class='header'>Headline2</p><br>Subtext content 3
And "myVariable1" would load in textbox "myText_txt_1" in flash and "myVariable2" would load in textbox "myText_txt_2" and so on...
I think this is possible in AS2 but is this even possible in AS3?

I want to know of if it possible to target different areas of 1 text file. So I would have one file that could populate multiple text fields with different info. I know this is what XML does, but I wanted to know if I could do the same with a .txt doc as well.

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).

I'm currently trying to work out a method to highlight specific areas of text within a dynamic text field at runtime. The method I've been toying with so far has been the use of CSS highlighting, but have not seemed to have any luck thusfar. What I'm attempting to do is to illustrate, to students, sections within a passage of text pertaining to correct methods of source referencing (source in terms of bibilographical references), and so am essentially trying to change the background colour of sections of text specified at runtime.Here's some code I've thrown together to test the CSS theory:
PHP Code:
var highlightstyle = 'span.highlight { background-color:yellow }';var txt = '<p><span class="highlight">highlighted text</span> no highlighted text<span class="highl

Im trying to make a game, but want to use specific text input to get points, this is probably simple but it doesnt seem to work for me. Essentially I have a text input area on the screen and if the user enters the right value and then clicks continue they get points. I have a text input area named numgame and have attached this code to the continue button:
on (release) {
if (numgame = "343"){
_root.score = _root.score + 100;
gotoAndPlay(536);
}
}
Currently it seems like the if statement isnt even doing anything, the score is added once continue is pressed no matter what is entered. Is there a better/ correct way of doing this.

I wanted to put on the stage a png file with some transparent areas, unfortunately it weight too much.So instead I thought I'll create a shape object and use jpeg image as it's mask...
This is my code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Shape;
[code]....
And it doesn't work, can I use jpeg images to mask the shape at all?

I'm creating a Flash game...blackjack, actually. It uses a back-end made from Java.Anyway, there's a basic chat in the game, where new messages are added to the bottom...pretty much your standard chat window.This is how I do it now:txtArea.verticalScrollPosition = txtArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition;However, that does not always work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't (oddly enough). I'm looking for a permanent solution. txtArea is the component TextArea (d'uh), and I'm using ActionScript 2.0.

I am wanting to create several dynamic text areas and have different paragraphs to be loaded from a txt file. I am using;
loadVariables("message.txt", "");
stop();
to load the text. The problem I am having is that I want to use only one txt file to house all of my different paragraphs. I can only get the first message box to display the text. How can I can the others to display the text? I've included sample files.

If you have two textareas, one has a rotation value besides 0 and the other has no rotation value or a value of 0 and you 'tab' focus from the one w/rotation to the one w/out. The border around the textArea w/out rotation will be rotated. If you set the rotation value of the non-rotated text field to a non-zero number, even 0.01, it fixes the problem, this causes tons of other problems in text rendering though so its not a solution.
I found setting the focusThickness style to 0 removes the border, which is a good solution but not a great one, anybody got a better one? Here is some sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TextArea id="source" width="100%" fontWeight="bold" fontSize="20" height="50" rotation="5" />
<mx:TextArea id="dest" width="100%" height="50" />
</mx:VBox>

I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.
I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.
1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.
Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
[Code].....
What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.
What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?

am setting up a webpage with Flash MX. On the homepage I have a dynamic text box with links to the left (currently the links are just typed words). We want it to setup so that when a user clicks a link (such as "HOME") it will access text from a .txt file and load it into the dynamic text box. We want all of the links ("HOME", "PERSONNEL", "RECRUITS", "CONTACT US") to load their text from a seperate .txt file into that same dynamic text box.

I have an ASP.Net handler which returns to me all the file name of the images present in a folder in the server. Note that I'm an ASP programmer, not a Flash developper. It'll return something like that:
1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg|4.jpg
It's the same as if it was written in a .txt file, there's only text in the "webpage" source. The | is the separator in which I'll use a method to return a [] of string. However, the problem is how do I access it.

I'm trying to load a text file and I've run into a wall. So far, I've loaded swf files, image files and XML files without problems. But the text files just don't seem to load. It's not a tough situation. The files are in the same directory as the application. When I run it, I see no sign that the file has loaded, but haven't found the error trapping to tell me what is (not) going on.
The code below was culled from examples on the web, they seem fairly consistent, and they are copied pretty much exactly. and I put them both into a single action to test them. Any clues as to what is not happening? I need to read an old txt data file that was used with AS2, with pairs of names and variables. The first example just reads a couple of variables. The second just reads some random text. I'm just trying to see what
works here, so I can incorporate working code into the real program.
