I have a dynamic text field, multi-line. I have attached ascrollbar component to it via drag and drop.It is empty but gets text dumped into it via AS'sappendText() method when the user clicks a button.It works, but if there are more lines than what fits into thetext field, the scroll bar does not "activate", and allow the usero scroll to see all of it.
View 4 RepliesI am using a scrollbar as demonstrated in OO scrollbar part 1 and have it working great, except that when you scroll the text, it seem to add a bunch of space at the end of the text field and then does not scroll back up to the top of the text field, but rather ends up in the middle.
Seems like it is somehow measuring the height of the text field at the wrong time? I would guess that it has the right height dimensions (due to the extra space at the bottom) but that it somehow is getting the wrong y coordinate. [code]...
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" ?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.
View 11 RepliesI'm using Flash MX to create a website. The user navigates between different scenes/frames using buttons, just like moving to different pages in html (except the "pages" are different parts of the main movie's timeline).The problem I'm having is that on two embedded movie clips there are text boxes which dynamically load html-formatted text files (news updates for different topics). When I run the movie, both of these "pages"/"frames" work beautifully, but after the first time, when I come back to either of them, the dynamic text boxes' scrollbars have disappeared and the up/down scroll buttons don't work. By clicking on the loaded text and dragging I can force it to scroll, so all the content is there, but the controls are gone.
I've been searching forums for a couple of hours on this now and the only thing I found was someone found a similar issue on CS3 which required giving scrollbars instance names (which I did) and then inserting Actionscript telling them to update--and that is a bit beyond me. Is there something I have to type in when the text loads to get it to do that?The script I'm using to load the text into the fields is as basic as it gets (and obviously cut and pasted from somewhere else):
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("history.txt");

I am trying to adopt Lee Bremelow's OOP Scrollbar 2 to load external text. So far without luck. This tutorial uses three classes.

I've got a mask on it that's 314px tall.The scroll bar will scroll all the way down to the bottom of the content, but it will not scroll all the way back up.

I'm currently using a scrollbar that I got here at Kirupa. I have my site set up with with 6 different navigation buttons, each button should load a new text file. To do this, I have a movie-clip with 6 frames in it. Each frame has this scrollbar on it and will load the correct text file depending on which button you click in the navigation. Everything works fine, except the scrollbar won't refresh itself for each different text file that loads. The scrollbar loads when the site loads, and then stays the same every time a new text file is loaded.
how to make the scrollbar refresh each time a new text file is loaded? I've attached my FLA in a zip file. Here is the scrollbar I used from Kirupa: [URL] Also, here is a test version of the site: http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose2/index2.html And here is the actionscript used for the scrollbars:

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

I have a file where I am importing dynamic text with buttons and a scrollbar. Everything pulls in and is working fine except... I have one document where the dynamic text that is pulled in is short and really doesn't need to scroll. It appears fine but say you click one of the buttons or scrollbar by accident or curiosity. The movie just starts vibrating... it doesn't like thst the text is short. I don't want to take the stuff out because the info will always change and some days it may need buttons soma days not.
View 8 RepliesI have created a custom scrollbar for some dynamic text ("services_txt") under a movieclip ("servicestext_mc" with the instance name services_mc). The name for the scroller is scroller_mc.
The scrollbar works fine, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the text box. I keep getting error message 1120: Access of undefined property services_txt.
I've tried scrolling my text several ways and seem to keep getting this error - I have a feeling it's because I've inputted the text manually and forgot to do something, instead of using an external text loader. Here is the code I've inputted:
var scrollPercent:Number = 0;
var minScroll:Number;
var maxScroll:Number;

But when the swf file is embedded in an html file the scrollbar does not activate and only the text within the window is seen.Here is the script:

I am using buttons with a dynamic textfield and a function to set the label for various different buttons:

I have a dynamic textfield ... myText ... which I would like to use as a page title ... so once the button has been clicked, the dynamic textfield should update with the label of the button clicked.
