ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Box Refuses To Display Given Variable?
Dec 15, 2010
So in my game I have a text box that tracks ammo, using this code:
Code:
ammocount.text = String(this.ammo);
called every frame
I have used Trace to determine that String(this.ammo) does produce the correct value every time, however the text box after each shot displays either "1", "11" or is blank at random
no other lines of code address the .text value of the box
Setting ammocount.text to any manually entered value results in a blank text box, ammocount.text must be the property I'm looking for otherwise the 1s and 11s could never get into the text box
We can logically deduce hence that this is a bug in AS3 and since gutting whichever retarded adobe employee is responsible isn't an option I'm wondering if its documented, and if so what workarounds are known, and how best to avoid the issue

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

Just starting out and really being trying to learn some game making basics etc but seem to be stuck on displaying some text.
If I have a dynamic text box with instance name "instance" and this is placed on stage. I have no problem making this read as my variable using this code:
Code:
function onLoad()
{_root.instance.text = variable};
when I have dynamic text within a movie clip and this movieclip is brought to the stage using attachMovie.
To clarify what I mean, I have a movie clip of an emeny zombie named EnemyZombie, inside this movie clip is a text box to show it's HP (ie, it's health left over), the text box has instance name EnemyZombieHP.
Now, I use this code in the onEnterFrame function to spawn a new zombie ever few seconds:
Code:
//Adds 1 to the timer
enemyTimer = enemyTimer + 1;
//Adds new enemy to the stage every 2 seconds (60 frames)
[Code].....
This spawns the enemies as I wish but i'm stuck on how to make each one spawn with the EnemyZombieHP text reading the variable hp which I definded as 10 earlier.

I have been creating myself mini-projects to learn and my newest one is to have a variable that counts up.
for (var i = 0; i < 0; i++)
{
trace (i);
}
I have a dynamic text field that I am trying to display the variable i in a dynac text field. How would I do this?

I have a timer that counts up to 60.
Within the timer function I have a variable that increments every second,
i.e second = second +1; I'm tracing that out and it counts up nicely on the trace output.
I want to add what I'm tracing to a text field on my stage so a text box will display the counting from 1 to 60.[code]...

I apparently can't pass the score to the textBox.
1. How do I convert the variable to a string?
2. How do I update the textBox? I thought I saw some special method somewhere but I'm not sure where.
3. What is the best way of updating the 'score' variable.

Basically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

1) I'm on the portfolio page, and I click a button to load a video.
2) Let's say I change my mind and press "back" button BEFORE the video has a chance to load completely.
3) I am back at the portfolio page. Everything looks okay BUT the video eventually loads. I can't get rid of it if I remain on the portfolio page.

Im running Flash CS5 with all current updates. My flash is about 2400 frames long, and is running at 24fps. In the beginning, i had no problem exporting it. Now, when i publish/export/test/preview/ beg to work, the dialogue bar will pop up indicating that its exporting... Only to suddenly stop about 70% of the way through and dissapear. . no preview..no swf. and to make matters worse, it devours the swf i exported originally. Im not using any action script (ive been told that could be where the problem is). I have tried copying my frames into a fresh document, just in case the original is corrupt, but still had the same problem. Ive screwed with the publish settings enough to know the problem isnt there. Ive combed through my entire library, looking for corrupt files..still no success. My dilema is almost identical to this user's: [URL]
this flash is to be used as a background projection during a college theater play

I have an increment timer on a game I have created, but the thing is it refuses to reset at the end of the game.If I do timer.reset(); it is not visible then if I cal timer.start(); immediately after, it will continue from it's former position at the end of the 8th level.It's really annoying me as it's the only thing that won't seem to reset, everything else is fine.
function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) { count++; var whole_value:int = int(count / 100); var tenths:int = int(count / 10) % 10; var hundredths:int = int(count) % 10; gamePage.timer_txt.text = whole_value + "." + tenths + "s"; }

I have written a nested if statement that refuses to work properly. My fla file consists of the main timeline and a movieclip. The problem lies in the pwrbtn function. I need the pwrcomp Boolean to prevent the call to firstpage() from happening more than one time. However when I test it keeps cycling so my traces are frame2, true, frame2, true, so on and so forth. Have I just made some small mistake that Im not seeing?

I have a bar on my website which displays the last 10 SMS messages that have been sent to the website by the users. [click here]The sender's nickname and message are dynamically loaded from a PHP-file. I also want to display the user's picture next to the message. The URL to the picture is sent from the PHP-file, just like the nickname and message, but I don't know how to display that picture in my flash-movie.So, how do I display a picture in flash when I've only got a dynamically loaded URL?

Context: Making a guessing game where up to 20 users guess times. A countdown timer script runs at the game start. As time goes by, flash compares the guess with the real time, moves a movieclip (horse1, horse2 etc) along the x axis and displays an integer (time between the guess and ever changing clock [horse1.displaybox1, horse2.displaybox2, horse3.displaybox3, etc]). This is all working.
How to I display the current closest guesser?
I TRIED to avoid arrays, but doubt I can. JUST learning about arrays and for loops, but found this elegant code to find the max number in an array (or with modification could get the min):
maxValue = function (array) {
mxm = array[0];
for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
if (array[i]>mxm) {
