ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Appear In Last Frame Only Using It
May 17, 2010
This is what I would like to do:
I have a movie clip of a box resizing from small to big in 10 frames.I want text to appear only at the last frame.However, there are many different types of text I want to put in this box depending on user selection.
Therefore the text would be dynamic.
I want to control this in AS3.
I've created an instance of this movie clip and added to the stage via addChild() function.
I've tried adding a label to the movie clip but the text appears from the beginning to the end (frame 1 to frame 10).
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?
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.
By typeing the text in the input box while staying on frame1, DOSEN'T show on the dymanic_text_box2 on frame 5?? How to make the dymanic_text_2 apply it's text when the text is been typed staying on frame 1?
I found this awsome tutorial to create an animated button on this page [URL]. Everything works fine, but now I want to link the button to a frame with text in it called "text" in scene 1. So I tried it instead of
I have designed a movieclip containing dynamically loaded text for ease of updating, however, when I roll over it (it is made to be a button), the text resets to the original text.[code]The reason I want this to work is so I can have the text glowing on rollover, but it doesn't work on frame 2.
I have a file with two frames.In the first frame i have an input textfield (naam_txt) a button (send_btn) and a dynamic text field (output_txt)In the second frame i only have the dynamic text field.So i want someone to type in their name and when the button is pushed, you go to the second frame and there is a welcome text in the dynamic text field.But i get Welkom undefined
how to keep my text unique to each frame...it seems as though all inputted text wants to follow through all my frames. Here's hoping it's something simple that I'm just not seeing
does someone know how to create a similar scrolling text effect like seen within the content sections on [URL]... looks like a mix of a scrolling text effect with some colour and positioning tweening.
I got a mc wich contains a stop(1) and a textfield in frame(10) and stop(10).Outside in the root I got a btn that contains:loadtext to the text frame and play the mc. -->
_root.mc.play()It dont work ! But if I move the textfield to frame(1) it works - STRANGE! Why is that? and what do I do?
I need a button that simply goes to a frame bringing up a set of text, but once that text is on the screen the button does nothing. If i'm being too vague just let me know,
I am working on a sort of photo gallery and I would like to know if the following is possible:I'd like to create an option where you can fill in a name in a input text box and press a button so you automatically go to the photo of that person. The input text box is called namebox, the frames with pictures of the persons have frame names like bob, franca and patrick. The button next to the input box has this script:
on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") { if (namebox == "Bob") { gotoAndStop ("scene2", "bob");
I am trying to have text show up in a text field when the playhead was in a certain frame.My problem is that when the user clicks the next button, the text from the previous frame stays in the text field and I need the new text to show up. Any suggestions on how to clear out the old text and have the new text automatically show up?Here's the code I'm using, where scriptTxt is a TextField component.
PHP Code: var frameLabel:String = (root as MovieClip).currentLabel; switch (frameLabel) {
I have a maths-based movie on which a number of points are allocated depending on the answers given to a series of multiple choice questions.
At the end of it, a person will score somewhere between 1 and 10 points depending on the answers they gave.
I have got to the stage where the system keeps track of the cumulative score, and at the conclusion, I have a text field on stage, which has an instance name of "results". When the person enters the frame, the results field displays the total number of points scored.
That is ok, but what I actually would like to happen is that the movie jumps to a different frame based on that figure, so that if they score 2, it would take them to the frame labelled "two" and if they score 9, it takes them to frame "nine"
Is there a way of effectively saying:
On frame enter if results.text = 1 go to "one"; if results.text = 2 go to "two" etc etc
I have text frame with scrolling bar on right which is set as "Input Text".Is it possible to include images into same text frame.If I run this script:scroller.htmlText = "<img src='portrait.jpg'>";Image shows but my previously entered text disappears.Also is it possible to prevent text entering or deleting while movie is running?Basically I created text with a scroller i need to prevent it from modifying "entering/deleting"text on runtime plus I need to populate it with images!
Yet again, I have another simple problem. I have an input text field and a movie clip that contains a dynamic text field. The dynamic text field updates when the user types. Simple enough. However, when I add a frame to my main timeline and cut/past my mc on it, the dynamic text field doesn't update. Here is my simple .fla file showing what I'm trying to do.
I'm trying to link some text within a textbox. When the user scrolls down all the way to the bottom with the scrollbar and hits the text it opens an popup linking to another frame in the project. Basically Im trying to add some additional information relating to an word a sentence.

I have a frame on my movie that will have two input boxes where you can write in team names, and then have a button that will go to the next frame where the games is. When the movie goes to that frame I would like the text that was written in the input box in the previous frame to be retained and used in a dynamic text box to display the team names/s.
How can I store a text input so that I can use it on another frame? I tried storing it into variables on a frame and using it on another frame but there was an error that the variable was undefined. (Location of error on the second frame)
If I have a word like "casting" and I want to make it fade away in one frame using actionscripting, how do I prevent it from looping when I test it. Because if its a movie clip, how do i control it.
The first problem I have is I have created a scrolling text box - it's a list of items - and I want the user to be able to click on an item and then a specific frame load that relates to that item.
I'm sure this is possible but at the moment I can only work out how to add a normal html link inside the external text file so when clicking on the link it loads an actual webpage.
