ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External Text In A User Friendly Way?
Dec 19, 2009
I know how to load external text files in AS3 but I want the user to be able to do it from within my excited swf file. The obvious way to do this is to load the text file using a string from a dynamic text field (e.g: "myfile/myTextFeild.txt") but i want it to be more user friendly.If you click file open in Microsoft word, for example, you get the user friendly open box where you can find the file you want to load by browsing through your hard-drive.

I have a project that I'm working on where I want to allow a user to control some text formatting for a Flash interactive via external XML. They want to create links and bold text in paragraphs and such.Create dynamic text field on the stageGo to library, create font symbol for HelveticaNeue fontSet dynamic text field on stage to font symbol for Helvetica Neue Turn on embedding for dynamic text fieldSet HTML formatting to true on dynamic text fieldWrite out ActionScript for filling dynamic text field e.g. <b>THIS FIELD:</b> + someVariableFromXMLPublish movieBold text disappears.What am I doing wrong here? I need to make sure font symbols are present and dynamic text fields are set to embedded fonts to ensure PC/Mac font display for dynamic content for oddball non-standard fonts.Why doesn't this work? When I create the font symbol and set it to bold, STILL doesn't work.

how to allow the user to upload some image of his/her choice from his/her local computer, plus adding some control on size and dimension limit.
I've seen this performed for instance in webs where they sell sunglasses. The movie allows you to upload your own picture of yourself so that you can virtually try them on.

I'd like to know how to allow the user to upload some image of his/her choice from his/her local computer, plus adding some control on size and dimension limits, and to check that the file to be uploaded is actually a JPG/PNG/GIF and not another else.

A user, who is not familiar with html, wants to do very simple text formatting (font color, size, decoration) in external txt files that are to be loaded into Flash CS4 dynamic text fields. I know, some html tags can be used in txt files but the text becomes quite unclear. How is this issue usually coped with? Must the user learn a bit of html and use it or is there any other option?

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

I know how to load external text, but I am trying to have it load into a masked movie clip so then I can use a custom scroller to scroll the text up and down. The problem is that I can't get the scrollbar to scroll the text at all. If I just put in type in text into the movie clip, it scrolls fine. I have checked my paths and everything is correct...

I'm creating a site for someone who wants to update their news section, however they want the whole site done in flash. I've seen some stuff out there for xml & using .txt files, however i dont think they will fully understand this concept and instead bug the hell out of me for ever and a day.
Is there any way i can load text from say an html file (with them using a wysiwyg editor) or Word (and saving as html) and have that displayed in the window?The other option i guess may be php based, having them use a blog and that goes directly into the space but i have no idea how to do that or which blogs to use (that have been tried, tested and are child proof).
