This seems so simple and easy, yet I can't manage to do it, even after several hours of searching!
All I want to do is:
Have a text box field that a user can enter a string into and then display this string on other frames.
I'm using Actionscript 3.0 and Flash CS5.
I have this so far on the frame for the string entry [code]...
I have a database all set up and working between flash and SQL .The set up allows me to add entries and receive data.. all this works great..The only problem I'm having is that when I want to update the score when clicking on a button..I can only send or receive data, and what I actually want to do is overwrite the current entry with a new entry to update the score..

View 2 Replieshaving a really frustrating problem. I have a file, originally penned by anoother developer in CS3 and resaved as CS4. It uses datagrids extensively. When clicking on a cell in a data grid it now fails to render the font (or a blinking carat for that matter). When you click off and finish the edit the text you enter is there, of course that isn't much use because you can't see what you're typing.I haven't changed how these grids work in anyway, and it was working in CS4 before *mysteriously* stopping.Have tried setting the font to one that is embedded in the setStyle of the custom renderer the cell is using but it makes no difference - everything renders fine when not editing but disappears when editing.
View 2 Repliesi use FBML for the FB application.I have a flash and the flash suppose to call a javascript on the page. I read so many websites trying to figure it out but still having problem.Here is the Webpage with the javascript:
<fb:fbjs_bridge/>
<div id="swfContainer"></div>
<script>[code]....
when i test, the flash loaded. The code goes through everything and show "SENT" in the flash text box. However, it doesn't seem like it is calling the javascript and change the text in the HTML page.is there something wrong I did? i try the ExternalInteface.call method but doesn't work neither. ALSO, when i run it in FireFox, not error popup.however, when i run it in IE, I got this:
VerifyError: Error #1033: Cpool entry 36 is wrong type.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FBJS is not defined.
I've created a full flash site for a band. I need it to be easy for them to add news and press entries.
I know that I can do this with a database, but I want to do something with the entry text - like, when they have a link specified in the text (how can I do that, btw), when they submit the entry, flash/PHP/whatever should change it to the appropriate HTML code, and also change the color of the link (again with HTML). Only then will the information be displayable on the main flash site.
Know what I mean? Is this possible?
I'm trying to pass text from an input text in frame 1 to a dynamic text field in frame 10. Thus when the user enters text and clicks the submit button it takes them to frame 10 and shows them what they typed. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors. Here's the link:

If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?

View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if purepdf has the ability to save formatted text from a user-inputted text field. If so, how is this achieved? From what I understand, purepdf is basically iText, and I believe iText has the ability to parse HTML and save formatted text into a PDF. Does purepdf have that same functionality that I can tap into and plug in 'textfield.htmlText' somewhere?

View 16 RepliesI need to find the new item in a new set that is not in an existing set. here is an example:
// current set
{file, file, file, file, file}
// new set
{file, file, file, file, file, file}
- The current set contains a list of file objects (for example)
- The new set contains another set of file objects, however it contains most of the same files in the current set, but now includes a brand new file.The new file in the new set needs to be pushed onto the current set.
Restrictions:
- The new set cannot replace the current set, only the new file can be appended.
- The files cannot be directly compared because each file in the new set that references the same file as a reference in the current set is not the same instance. Therefore they need to be compared by property, in this case, teh file name.I have the general work out of the algorithm:
actionscript Code:
for each(var currentFile:FileInfo in currentSet) { for each(var newFile:LocalFileInfo in newSet) { if(newFile.name == currentFile.name) { }}
But i just cant work out how to extract the new file. I will get it eventually, but im kinda hoping that someone will find a better solution entirely. one that might not even require so many loops.

i have a movie clip with a dynamic text field being animated...i have a text file with this in it
&textline1=time
&textline2=place
&textline3=year
&textline4=month
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
a_modified_dog suggested, and was kind enough to provide working code in the thread, Assign text to dynamic text fields on different frames, using the "onChanged" event placing code in the main time line of both frames 1 and 2 of a Flash Actionscript 2 movie. The "onChanged" event has been designed apparently for input style text fields only - requiring the user to input text. The code example provided works well for that sequence. But my intended sequence of user events does not permit the user to input a text value. The "onChanged" event does not work with the following intended sequence of user actions:
(1) the user makes a selection from a scrolling list of items that appear within a movie clip (MC1) on frame 1. The list is comprised of a number of selectable buttons.
(2) When the user clicks a button (BTN1) contained in MC1, the onRelease event assigns a string value to a text box (TXT1) within a separate movie clip (MC2) on frame 1. (this is working well)
(3) the user then clicks a stand alone button (separateBtn) on frame 1 that invokes a "gotoAndStop" at frame 2. (no problem)
(4) The text (TXT1) from within the movie clip (MC2) on frame 1 needs to be assigned to a text box (TXT2) on the stage of frame 2. (BIG PROBLEM)
I've played with both dynamic text fields and input text fields. Using the "onChanged" event works well with input text fields IF the user actually enters text into the input text box. Using the intended sequence, a text value is being assigned to TXT1 in MC2 by a button "onRelease" event from within MC1. This same text value (TXT1) should also appear in the text box TXT2 on frame 2. I've tried both input and dynamic style text boxes for TXT1. Both work well for showing the assigned text string on frame 1. Both styles also, when advancing to frame 2, show "undefined" in the corresponding text box (TXT2) on frame 2. Neither input or dynamic style of text box seem to recognize the "onChange" event - from having no text when starting up to having text within TXT1 dynamically appear after the user makes their selection from the button (BTN1)event (onRelease) in MC1.I tried assigning the text in TXT1 on frame 1 to a variable (var_txt1) - in the main time line - and having TXT2 on frame 2 read and assign the variable to TXT2 (TXT2.text = var_txt1), scripting also on the main timeline of frame 2.. Again, all attempts result in "undefined" appearing in TXT2 instead of the variable value (var_txt1). Using 'trace" on frame 1 shows the correct value for the variable (var_txt1). When advancing to frame 2, "trace" shows "undefined".
I have frame label name "game" when game is finish, I want to display in frame named "gameover". I cannot pass dynamic text of score to gameover frame. I got the initial value of dynamic text of score, instend.

I have a very simple line of code that i'm trying to modify to display a specific entry in a xml file:
AS3 Code:
// The first step is to activate the XML object
AmbientSettingsXML = new XML();
With the XML Object now active you must now load an XML foramtted document.
Any DTD or XLS formatting will be ignored.
AmbientSettingsXML.onLoad = myLoad;
[Code] .....
So the question is, how do I display the "event_title" entry only? (String)
can anyone see why i'm getting an "undefined" at the the end of this xml list using this code:
PHP Code:
var vetXML:XML;
var vetLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I need to limit form data entry to once a day. I have created a login and a PHP script that writes variables to a txt file. However, I want to limit the users ability to enter data to the server date, so that they can only enter in data once per day. For example, a poll that allows a user base to vote once per day. I need to do it using Actionscript, PHP, CGI, or javascript.
