I wrote a flash game a while back (CS3) and it used to work but when trying to compile the same FLA file in CS5 does not work.
I've got a dynamic text field called tScore
tScore.text = Score;
Used to apply the current integer value of the user's score to the text box. It no longer does that. (It appear empty)
By way of simple debugging:
tScore.text = Score.toString; // no value shown
tScore.text = String(Score); // no value shown
tScore.text = "A"; // sets the field to the value A
[Code]....
I know it's been a long time for weird stuff to happen in flash
Has anyone experienced a text field that doesn't accept digits?
I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them.I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with a starting number of 3.75 and I was this number to increase to 6.00 and then stop. I know this should be pretty simple to do with a little actionscript.
View 3 RepliesI have created a dynamic text box (named "numberString") inside a movieclip "circle" which is on the stage. Anyways, I have 24 frames in movieclip "circle", with numbers from 1-24 on different frames. These numbers are in "numberString".Since the animation allows the numbers to continually play over and over again, and thus the numbers are always changing, I was wondering: how can I 'read' the number that is playing when I, say, roll over it? I know the script for the roll over, but I can't figure out an efficient way to find out what number is playing when I put my mouse over it.
View 6 RepliesI have a counting movie which displays numbers from 1 to 1000 (action scripts) in a dynamic text box. First 1 and then 2 and so on. It works very well. I convert this movie to a movie clip and drag this new movie clip to the main stage on frame 1, but anything happens now.
View 14 Repliesim trying to do a simple calculation and display it in a dynamic text box however when I use small numbers the dynamic text box displays NaN.
PHP Code:
lambdas = rk / lp;
lambdas.toString();
test_txt.text = String(lambdas);
lambdas is is the variable i am trying to display in the dynamic text box (instance name is test_txt). rk and lp are input text numbers. I am trying to use rk = 0.05 and lp = 0.2. 0.25 should be displayed in the box
I have a .fla file with a movieclip that has a dynamic text box in it. In my .as class file I'm setting the dynamic text's text with _clip.Score.text = "Points: " + _score.toString(). This seems like it would work but for some reason the following results happen:[code]
View 1 RepliesI am an animator who does a little actionscript from time to time (enough to get me in trouble) but am at a newbie lite experience stage. I have flash 8 (actionscript 2). I have formulated a calculator for my boss (not in animation, unfortunately) that has some very simple flash maths. I have previously loaded text into a swf from an external text file into a dynamic text box � easy enough. But in my simple calculator I�d like to add a pricing schedule which I can edit externally (without Flash, simply edit the text file) to change the prices on some stuff. Can this be done? Every time I try using the loadVariablesNum or LoadVars approach my calculations come up with a NaN error. I suspect you can�t load characters that are recognised as numbers from an external text file. Can I do it with XML (I have some very basic understanding) or do I need to use php and mySQL?

I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)
I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.
I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.
I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..
I have a movie where a variable named daysleft will be loaded from an external text file into a dynamic text box, this bit works fine. But I then need the movieclip "numbers" to gotoAndStop to the frame number imported via the variable daysleft. Although daysleft displays on the screen a trace(daysleft); says the variable is undefined.
View 4 RepliesUsing Flash in CS3, actionscript v 2.0 What I want to do:User can open a text file, and answer 5 yes or no questions, then save the file.Those yes/no answers are loaded as dynamic text onto the stage inside a movieclip Depending on the answers, the navigation buttons will only go to the sections, (in this case, keyframes on the main timeline) that have a "yes" answer. Esentially, this would allow multiple navigation options, that are input dynamically from the text file.
Here is the actionscript that I have on one of the buttons. I realize that each button will have to be scripted indivudually, but I can't even get this one to work. It reads the "if" and the "else", but ignores the "else if" parts.Note that my dynamic text fields are named 1, 2, 3, and are inside the movie clipe "test_text" which is on the main timeline.
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.test_text.1 == "yes") {
gotoAndStop(25);

and am getting a syntax error message for the first line, the myData=new LoadVars bit... i have tried multiple ways of doing the myData method and only errors. seems like others have had success with this.. any help? i've looked all over and have not found a solution...part 2, for brave souls. so, from the txt file i want to load into separate frames (either 2 iframes or an iframe and a dynamic text field).. nothing i've tried with this has been working either. i think this is more of an html formatting issue. tried to add a line of javascript, but flash wasn't having it.
URL...Go to Category Recent News and Press -> Store Design and Visual Merchandising etc..In that page, you will see that the text content are divided evenly to multiple column.
View 2 RepliesAfter quite a bit of hair-pulling elsewhere on the web, I finally found "Loading Text from External Sources," which talks about loading multiple text files into a dynamic scrolling field.Url...Ok, got that to work great; now the problem I'm having is that my text is longer than the example.So when I click on my second text file, it loads scrolled to the same position as I scrolled to on the first text file.In other words, my text files aren't loading to the top of the dynamic text field...they're loading into the middle after the first button is clicked.
View 5 RepliesI have a result screen that shows bonus points and such. I want each text field to increment one after another and also have it increment by a certain amount each frame. Result Screen pops up. First is the player score check the player score, is it more than the score we want to display if the player score is greater than the player display score by 100 increase the player display score by 100 if the player score is greater than the player display score by 10 increase the player display score by 10 else increase the player display score by 1 when finished move to the next score...and so on. I have thought of using timers to move from one score to the next, but not being in an Event.ENTER_FRAME it only does one if then moves to the next one.
Also the if statement for incrementing the score looks ridiculous and I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do it. I was thinking of making it a separate function but then I wouldn't know what to return, or how to return it so it looks like its increasing and not just showing the total number instantly. I'll try to expand on it a little more.

View 1 RepliesI have a button (movieclip) that I want to make multiple instances of with different labels.I have a dynamic text field in the movieclip, and a second frame for the rollover state.I also created a dynamic text field for the rollover state and gave it the same instance name as the first one. Shouldn't it display the same text across both states?
View 10 RepliesMy game is rather dependant on dynamic text fields, for giving players in game hints, signalling to them how far they've progressed (round/wave), how many points they've scored for destroying an enemy ect.
It's come to my attention that, the game lags whenever I update these dynamic text boxes. This happens particularly with the in game messages, (black glow filter) that fade in and out. Without any dynamic text messages at all, the game seems to run fine even on battery saving mode/slow computers.
Is there anyway to keep the dynamic text and get rid of the lag? I think I've tried all the different options for the textfields (I'm using CS4):Character Embedding Bitmap/Antialiazed text (Bitmap works slightly better) Multiline/single line Non selectable [URL]..
Is there a way for when you set the dynamic text to have multiple colors inside of it?
Like have a sub string for the first word, and make the blue... Then the rest of it is red?
I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?
View 4 RepliesI'd like to create a Hangman game, only instead of having the player enter a letter, I'd like to have 26 clickable buttons on the screen. Now, I could make 26 symbols, but that seems ridiculous when I could create a letter_button.as class and just create 26 instances of letter_button, where I can just do something like letter_button.letter_id to get the value.[code]...
