Got a huge issue with a website , and the problem is that I am not able to load in external text files into a dynamic text field..
[Code]...
I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field. I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.
View 1 Repliesi have created plain text field and managed to load it from external file using the AS3 code below. Now i want to load multiple text field but this time in a button, how can i do that?
this is my button code: proposal_btn
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded);
[code].....
The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............
i have a small flash file with a dynamic text field with instance name: load_txt i have a server... [URL] what i would like to be able to do is when embedding my flash file with the empty text field, put a "?" after the .swf and then put something like "url" with that, in the actionscript i would have it set to go to: [URL] so if i did myserver.com/test.swf?url=ben the flash file would load, and whatever would be in: [URL]would load into the text field in the flash i would already have the url labeled, just need to place the name of the txt file in the .swf? and then it would load properly

View 3 RepliesI have read the tutorial called "loading text from external sources"(with 3 buttons loading 3 different texts) . I tried it but when I click right on the button, it says "cannot place actionscript directly on an object" Must the different buttons be on different layers?(In my project, they are on the last page of my site)
View 10 RepliesWhen a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.
I'm thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

View 3 RepliesI'm reading text from a text file and displaying it into a text field. The problem is when i read it doesn't display the text as it is in a text file. For ex - See below imageNow , as you can see, second line in the text file starts right where first line ends.But flash doesn't display it like that. I have hundreds of lines and in most cases flash spaces consumes less space then a text file. The font in both text field in Flash and notpad is to Arial so the font shouldn't be a problem.
View 8 Repliesloading xml into flash. I made a flash test for work, but I loaded the text the hard way by doing this: loadVariables("text/testQ/36/question36.txt", this); loadVariables("text/testQ/36/answer36.txt", this); Each Question and each answer are in its on folder which makes a total of 40 folders. Is it way to load the text in each field by using xml? I was think of doing like this File names is test.xml

I've got an input box within a movie clip that will store several paragraphs of text. I'd like to store the text entered into this box into a MySQL Database using PHP (which I've found several helpful tutorials for) but I'd also like to load this same text into the input box to avoid the text from being lost if the browser gets closed.
So is it possible to dynamically load text into an input field from, say, a Flash variable? If so, can anyone give me a short code example or at least some tips as to where I can find out how to do something like this?
how do I load one word into a text field using actionscript. I don't want to load it from a xml file, or an external file, just from a frame on the time line.

I am trying to load xml data into a dynamic text field. I am able to load, and trace the data but cannot display it into a dynamic field. Here is what i have:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("directory.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
[code]....
What I am trying to achieve, is to produce what I've traced into the dynamic field. Also if there is a way to do that when a button has been clicked. I tried making the function showXML a mouse event, but it didn't work.
