I have a loop which creates several TextFields in different positions[code]..
I have tried removeChild and setting the t.text to nothing, but this only affects the last created textfield
what is the syntax for assigning names to textfields created dynamically using a loop.
Code:
for (var i:uint=0; i<10; i++) {
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;[code]....
As expected, this code gives me a warning "Duplicate variable definition".How can I assign names dynamically (myText1, myText2, myText3...)?
I want to remove an object that is created in a loop, with a timer.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, voegtoe);
In function voegtoe I'm adding an Movieclip Object called man:
man.x=Math.random()*650;
man.y=Math.floor(Math.random()*(70))+350;
addChild(man);
I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.
I want to remove the movieClips created from the "for loop" and "array" from stage when it goes to the next frame. Is this line of code correct?

a quick explanation of what I'm at... I'm working on something at the moment, basically what I have is an external textfile which contains several variables; I am loading these variables into flash using loadVariables().one of these variables invokes the script to create several buttons on the stage using for() and attachMovie(), and add onRelease() actions for each. when each button is clicked, a new textfield for that button is created on the stage.
the other loaded variables contain appropriately named html-formatted strings of text, which are then loaded into their respective, newly created textFields. pretty traightforward, and everything's working perfectly, the tags are being rendered etc. bold text is turning up bold and links are working correctly.but, I know nothing about CSS and flash! here's what I'm wondering... although my text is being rendered properly, I currently have no control over the style of my text, so it is rendering as black, times new roman etc. how can I apply CSS styles in order to control font size, type, colour etc.?does this entail attaching an external stylesheet, or can CSS styles be defined within the movie?here is my code at the moment:
PHP Code:
//
create box for textFieldfor loadingMsg_root.createTextField("loadingMsg", 20, 10,

How can I add textfields created at runtime into flash combobox?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.My problem arrives when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails.

View 1 RepliesI have made some changes to kirupa's thumbnail gallery, so instead of loading thumbnails into the scroller, I'd like it to load TextInput from a Node in the XML.
what I've come up with so far (simplified):
Code:
function numbering_fn(k) {
numbers_mc.createTextField("t"+k, numbers_mc.getNextHighestDepth(),20*k, 0,10,10);
numbers_mc.t[k].text = numbering[k] ;
[Code]....
in my understanding, since the loadXML function is still looping, it should create an empty TextField and then assign a .text Value to it.
Aparently it creates the required number of empty TextFields, but the "numbers_mc.t[k].text = "whatever Text";" -bite doesn't do the trick...
I would like to preface this wall of text by saying, I am very new at this. I may be missing something obvious. I'm working in Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I'm trying to use actionscript to create a textfield, and populate it with text. I've embedded my font in my project using the "Font Embedding" window. However, when the code to create the textfield is run, if "embedFont = true;", the font is invisible. The cursor still changes when hovering over it, so I know it's there. Or at least its text box is, I guess. Dynamic textfields with embedded text which are already on the stage seem to be unaffected.
I've tried changing the embedded fonts outline format, neither work. I've tried directly embedding the font with the "embed" tag via actionscript, but it doesn't seem to work with CS5, or I don't know what I'm doing. As you can see in the code provided, I've tried "registering" the font, with no success. I've tried using:

I have a search, and it returns an xml file (built by php), then I parse the xml to get the data.
That I get to work fine, the part I am having problems with is removing the old search data and adding the new.
Here is what I do:
1. get the xml file
2. remove any TextField currently in my "Library" MovieClip
3. add the new returned searched results
I am having issues with step number 2, removing TextFields from my MovieClip.
If i have ten textfields named field_1 to field_10 and i want to fill them with a for loop, how do i refer to each instance name? Obviously the problem lays in "field_i.text" in the following code:
Code:
for (var i=0; i<10 i++) {
field_i.text= i;
}
I just dont know how to refer to the instance name correctly using the i.
I'm trying to access some textfields that I have loaded in a movieclip in another loop. The code below doesen't work but I'm using it to illustrate what I'm after.

I have a for loop that runs depending on the length of an XML file. What I want to do is create a unique text field for each run through of the loop, and give it it's own position on the stage, and finally assign it the text from an external text file that is specified in the XML file. Everything I know how to do except creating the textfields.

This code creates only one Text Field, but then replaces it's text with new text with each run through.
I want to populate the stage with a list of dynamic text fields with individual names, something like pg4_txt1, pg4_txt2, pg4_txt3. I'm a novice at flash, I tried creating variables with a while loop, but I just haven't got the grasp of it.
Here's some kind of weird pseudo code to explain what I want to do:

i'm a newbie to AS3 and i'm trying to update a website from AS2 to AS3. i can't get a for loop to work properly for me. i create the button movieclips initially, name them properly, and drop their titles into a textfield within the button movieclips.i am able to change the textformat on rollover/out and on click to a third state. i want the on click to change all the other button's text box format's back to the base state.so, when i write a second for loop to run through the other buttons, i keep getting an error.
when i test trying to change the text like this: parent.getChildByName("mbtn" + i + "_mc").getChildByName("title_txt").setTextFormat(T extFormats.mmbase_fmt);
i get this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildByName through a

I'm trying to animate a body of text. I'm trying to have each letter of the paragraphs increase alpha to simulate the typing effect. Also, to have a easing effect towards the end of the text. I got the advice to create a textfield for each letter, so I can animate them independently. With the codes below, I managed the add the text to my project. But unfortunately, the letterspacing is out of place, the text doesn't have multiline, and the tween doesn't appear.

I have to make menu that will be used by cms. The problem is that the dynamic created textfields does not dosplay the cyrillic font. Now the menu is something like this: [URL] This is the menu with all the classes and some comments. If you don't want to download it... [URL] this is the class for creating textfield. In the library I got font named bab_font . The font has cyrillic gyphs in it (use Tahoma for example)
[URL] this is the class for the buttons , it is commented (it was in late night, sorry for the bad english) Everything works in english, just doesn't display letters in cyrllic (example) First friend of my suggested to make text on the stage, containg cyrillic letters, but this doesn't work.

how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
