ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Buttons Output On The Same Textfield?
Apr 23, 2011
I'm trying to Have multiple buttons that when clicked on, they display a text unique to each button. I don't want it to simply throw a textfield on top of the old one but rather to hide the other text field and insert a new one.
ActionScript Code:
var fl_TF:TextField;
var fl_TextToDisplay:String = "Text 1";
var fl_TextToDisplay2:String = "Text 2";
[code]....
Clicking on 'button', it displays the proper text.Then when I click on 'hider' button, it displays the right text and takes the text from 'button' away.However, the file crashes when I click on 'hider' first. Also, clicking on 'button' a second time doesn't take away the text that 'hider' symbol produces.
I created a project ih a lot of traces everywhere. Now, is there any way to put the whole output text into a dynamic textfield ? I'm searching for a way to do so with AS3.
It outputs the array just fine, but what I want to do is add in a line break here and there to make it more beautiful. In the dynamic text field properties there is an option for "Render text as HTML". With the option checked I tried adding in <br> and/or <p> HTML tags but all it does is prints out the "<br>" instead of making a new line. (I also have the text field set to Multiline.) Is there anyway to get it to have a line break?
I am building a dynamic multi-line textfield that has a backdrop so I need to know about the height of the TextField. Strangely TextField.height will almost always return the right results. But sometimes (e.g. when the last line only has one word) it will return a wrong value with the last line missing. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this known to happen. And is there a good workaround? Should I use getBounds instead?[code]
I am trying to output my cart array into a dynamic text field and format it. After the user clicks 'add' I am using...
ActionScript Code: //insert product data into cart array details.push([ItemCode,ItemColor,SecondColor,Price,Description]); //reset text box var textoutput:String = ""; //loop through contents [Code] .....
How can I format each value? Ineed some sort of neat table style output but how to do this in flash.
I'm stuck on this tutorial trying to learn how arrays functions. My task is to declare a variable, write an array, loop through the array and output the match in a textfield already created on stage. This code does that, but it gives me the match in number, instead of writing the name I get the number from the array, 2. How can I get the textfield to display the name Stian?
var bestevenn:String = 'Stian' var mineVenner:Array= new Array();mineVenner[0]='Janne';mineVenner[1]='Liv';mineVenner[2]='Stian';mineVenner[3]='Henri
I have this little loop that creates buttons. My aim is to change value of variable 'thevalue' on everytime button is pressed, first button should give value 0, second 1, third 2 and so on.
Code: for (jo=0; jo<xmlData.firstChild.childNodes.length; jo++) { value1= xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[jo].attributes.value; _root.attachMovie("button", jo, (1000-jo), {_x:20, _y:20+(jo*20)});
I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?
I have a flash movie with 3 buttons I am trying to link relativley to pages within my site, I have one working fine but can't get the others to link and when I try it makes the one that is working, work no more..
Below's the code I am using for the one that is working;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;var getIndex:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.html"); //---Enter Button---\
I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code: BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){ if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) { this.nextFrame();[code].......
I am creating a stand alone DVD to be used with Flash player. I am wanting to add different videos that play with different buttons. The following is the code I have for the video to play when the corresponding button is clicked..... My problem is how do I get that video to "leave" and stop playing when another button is pushed to play a different video.
Educators_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickEducators); function clickEducators(evtObj:MouseEvent) { gotoAndStop("OE")
SO, I want to do a very simple program, and I have no clue how to even get started. This is what I need to do. Several Different boxes to put something into. I Have Done That, I can type into them. Their instance names are
Box1 Box2 Box3
Heres what I have no clue on how to do though, completely lost. Box 1 needs to have the value psr.
How can I make a button that, when pressed, changes a textfield (with a scrollbar) to a different textfield (with a scrollbar) in the same place? Essentially (I think), using a button to swap an element and make it fade in or out.
I have been trying to find a way to color the backgrounds of different words in a single textfield with different colors.
For an example, lets imagine the whole text is a story which has nouns and verbs...etc Now I want to show the full text which is my story and highlight the background of nouns in blue, verbs in red.
Then I have dedicated toggle buttons for each types. The use of those buttons is removing or showing those backgrounds. For an example and when user clicks on noun button it will remove or show the background of all the nouns. Same for the button for verbs.
Then you may ask why I can't achieve this by using separate textfield for each word in the story and line them like a paragraph. The problem is user should be able to edit those text. So those are INPUT typed textfields. So all the words should move within the boundaries of paragraph when user keep changing one word. see the second attachment and you may see that I have changed the first word by typing "abcde", so as I type all other words should move like you type inside a textfield. So thats why I think if we can achieve it using single textfield rearranging words as user types is taken care of the textfiled so we don't need to place all the words manually.
When I was trying to think of a way to do it, I found that background is only a property of TextField, but not TextFormat. If it was a property of textformat then I could have set different formats for different words in same textfield. So that option is out.
Also I thought of using CSS with htmlText. But unfortunately text-background is not supported by actionscript stylesheet class.
Having a bit of trouble getting embedded fonts to work. The inconsistency with this is driving me crazy. I've gotten this to work before but not since going to cs5.[code]...
I have multiple mc's that contain input textfields. I want the results of these to appear one after another in the same dynamic textfield. Later they will be sorted alphabetically.
So far, I've been able only to get one item to appear at a time in the dynamic textfield--the next item replaces the first. A for loop didn't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the new text string to be added to the previous text string rather than to replace the first text string?
Anything at all similar I've seen creates a shared object instead of writing multiple strings to one dynamic text field.
How am I supposed to add fonts to a textfield that loads the info dynamically trough XML say I want to be able to have Arial, Verdana and Tahoma in both bold and Italic

I'm making a portfolio using XML and AS3. Loading the XML is all fine, I put images in a loader using a for loop. However, I would like these images to be buttons and set a TextField.alpha at 1 when hovering the image. The problem I'm having here, is whenever I hover an image, all the set textfields will show up. How do I change this? I've been trying to put it into an Array with no result.
Adding 2 numbers having 3 textfields and a button, I can do. The first textfield for input one, the second one for input two and the third one for output (result). The button triggering the operation. [URL]. How can I add 2 numbers only with one textfield( result) and 4 buttons. One button for number 1, another one for number 2, another one for the operator +, and finally another one for the sign =.
I have the code, how to put everything to work: import flash.events.Event; var txt_inp:TextField = new TextField(); txt_inp.type = "input"; txt_inp.x = 168.95; txt_inp.y = 51.10; [Code] .....
