ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloader Almost Works But Dynamic Text Won't Show?
Feb 23, 2011
If anyone has a minute, can you look at this script and spot the flaw. I got it fron[URL].. It MOSTLY works, the bar travels across as it is loading, but the dynamic elements (percent loaded, # of bytes loaded vs. # bytes total) are blank areas. Haven't a clue. I can e-mail you the Flash file, I saw no provision to upload it to this Forum.
In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:
I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

suppose i have one input text filed,and one dynamic text field,i want,when i enter value in input text filed then these value show on dynamic text filed [input text box] =[dynamic text box].how show value in dynamic text from input text filed
I have a dynamic text on the stage which gets updated (shows numbers) when some buttons are pressed.I just need to know if it is possible to show the first dynamic textfield in another dynamic textfield.Lets say the first dynamic textfield called "price" and the second one called "price2". when a button is pressed, the first dynamic textfield "price" will show a number. is it possible to show whatever is shown in the "price" in "price2" ?
I'm trying to make text disappear and appear letter by letter, so i'm using dynamic text. I've made this code which should do this, the only problem is that the text won't show up. I used trace to check what does the dynamic text box contains after the code has done it's job and it contains what it should. So I don't really understand where the problem is. I've embeded all the lowercase letters since I'm only using those... I don't know what else to add here... except the code offcourse:
Code: if (_root.butonselectat<>"") { stop();
[Code]....
Ignore all the "ifs" they just make the code do it's job when it should. And it seems that they work correctly. The first "for" cycle removes the text letter by letter and it only works if there is some text in the dynamic textbox while the second "for" adds the text letter by letter. I have the same code on two keyframes in the first layer and the the dynamic textbox on the second layer with only one keyframe.
I just want to know why a dynamic text doesn't show in the swf movie.Let me explain a little more: I have a mc within a main time line in wich is another mc,this mc have photos and a dynamic text who must be scrolled to view all of it,but the text doesn't appears! Below you will see a snapshot of the mc where you can see the level of it also.I've checked the actions script but there's no problem with it. here is the AS:
I'm attaching several movieclips onto the stage inside a for-loop and populating a dynamic textfield within the moviclip inside the same loop.Tracing the texfield.text shows the proper value in the Output console. However, the text value is not visible on the stage. I've drew a shape next to the dynamic textfield just to make sure the movieclip is being properly attached. I can see the shape but there is no text next to it.
Code: var xPos=200; for(var i=0; i<image_list.length; i++){[code].....
how to add dynamic text as the tutorial didn't work for me(that worked). but how to preload the text as it appears later than the movie which had already preloaded(i made a simple preloader for now) the address [URL]
basically i have dynamic text fields that i have been trying to parse to an xml file. when i test the movie it does not work, all the fields are blank. but the info DOES show up in the output tab, so i know that it is making the connection.... it just doesnt show up in the movie. weird.here is my actionscript:
var xml:XML=new XML();xml.ignoreWhite=true;xml.onLoad=parseXML;xml.load("popup.xml"); function parseXML(){trace(this);{ if (success) var diagramNode=this.firstChild; var
I'm using text that is set to "dynamic text". In actionscript 3 I tried: instancename.text = "abc"; trace(instancename.text); Trace returns "abc" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
In action script 2 I tried: var1 = "abc"; instance1._text = "def"; trace(var1 + instance1._text); Trace returns "abcdef" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
Our friend IE is destroying my life again. I've made this thing that loads the text from a .txt file. This works fine in every browser but IE. Here's the thing:[url]....click the green thing on the right and the green lightbox that pops up should contain som text and does so in every browser but IE.and here's a snippet of the sourcecode for one of the fields:
Code: var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("kampanj_text.txt") ); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); function completeHandler(event:Event):void { [code]........
I'm having trouble getting an external.swf to show dynamic text in the parent swf. When I run the external swf by itself the text shows up fine, but when I try to load it into another swf using the MovieClipLoader the dynamic text doesn't show up.
having a prob with my code. I'm trying to show a hidden dynamic text field with at button, but no luck I can make it work, if the field is'nt hidden, but not the idea. It should first show when you hit the button, if you know what I mean I'm working in Flash CS5Layerscript:_root.eventtext._visible = false (hide my textfield)
After thinking over this for sometime It's a tad more advanced than i think I'm at, at the moment.So this idea for the preloader, its a single lined textbox 44 characters long. The idea is that once you click on the object a .length determines the length of the text then subtracts it from 44, then while the preloader.onLoadprogess is doing its thing i'd like to add a "."+preloaderStatus to the textfield (the preloaderStatus is the 10% etc to 100%)
So it'd start as : 1) Yaiks 2 while loading) Yaiks.....................20 3 finished) Yaiks.......... .......................100
But at the end the 100 will stop at 44 with the right amount of "..." in the middle determined by the length of the original text in the field.
I've watched Lee's video on the Flash CS4 preloader a few times now but have not been able to figure out how to switch a movieclip for the dynamic text field.
Here's what I'm trying to do. My logo is a handwritten font. I've used the eraser tool over 100 frames to simulate the handwriting taking place, during the preloading process. Hopefully this will start at Frame 1 and go up to Frame 100 based on the percent of the external file loaded.
I just don't get how to change the AS from the video tutorial to have it work for my application. I don't have the 'percent_text' dynamic field obviously so the two lines which pertain are wrong, but that still doesn't get the movieclip [called logoLoader] to engage the script.
I need to show the amount of times the counter has been moved along the board, ie how many turns the player has.
the dynamic text box is called 'moves' and the counter is a button which is pressed for each move. Therefore, it would need to be added to the onRelease function.
How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when people go to a new section of my website.
for a school project i just have to create some product etc on adobe flash... I got a video, dynamic text that doesnt seem to show up when i click on the exe file after publishing..
I got my dynamic loaded text files into my flash files down...but the problem is it does not show characters such as the % sign.I thought I just had to add a slash before it like /% but it still doesnt work. All it shows is the slash.
