ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Field Variable Names Are Not Supported

Jan 26, 2010

So my website was created in FLash CS4 which is AS3. I did a tutorial online recently to create scrollbar for dynamic text; but sadly I didn't realize the code I had copied was AS2! I tried to import the scrollbar.swf into my website and it gave me this message:Text field variable names are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. The variable 'txt' used for the text field 'txtBox' will not be exported.[code]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Calculator - Clear The Text Field Then Store The New Input In The Same Text Field As A Different Variable

Mar 30, 2006

I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variable Instance Names - Fill Text Fields With Text That Have In An Array

May 21, 2011

Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

ActionScript 2.0 :: ASP And Dynamic Variable Text Box Names

Nov 23, 2005

Having a problem with a Flash/ASP/Database project.I've seen tutorials that pulls address book listings dynamically from the DB. When you hit "next" button it just populates dynamic text fields with variable names like "name" "address" with the appropriate info. Problem I'm having is.. what if you want to display all the entries on the same screen.If the variable names on the dynamic text fields are hard coded named "name" "address" "phone number" etc. , how can the second set of info display underneath the first one properly and not just pull the same text from the first record into the text fields? (name2, address2, etc.)

Is there a way to dynamically change the variable name of a dynamic text field? I'm thinking you should be able to have it note how many records there are, then loop until it reaches the end of the record set. So, can the variable names be dynamic so it will populate the text fields with the appropriate info?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Instance Names And Variable Names: It Goes Deeper

Mar 20, 2011

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.

Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by

trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);

the output window gives me

drawer
instance2

Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:

drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.

But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?

I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Variable As Text In Dynamic Text Field?

May 24, 2010

This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it

var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";

I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying

"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".

Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?

P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<

Professional :: Reference A Text Field With A Variable?

May 7, 2011

I have 10 text fields named "text1", "text2" etc;

I'd like to use a for loop to pulate each one, so that each text filed is populated with whatever i is:

for (var i:Number=1; i<=10;i++)  {
"team"+i.text = i;
}

I keep getting errors with regards to how the text filed name is referenced.

What is the correct way to increment the text filed name and reference it?
 
I've tried:

["team"+i].text = i;
"team"[i].text = i;

but they don't work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Why Can't Set A Dynamic Text Field Equal To A Variable

Jul 26, 2004

I have a preloader. On one frame of the preloader is the code:

i++
loadtext = i;
emptyMC = "holder"+i
allimages._visible = false;
allimages.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+i, i);
allimages[emptyMC].loadMovie("weddingsintro"+i+".jpg");

Everything works fine, but the dynamic textfield with the var name loadtext is blank. If i set loadtext = i+"loaded" then it just displays "loaded". I know the variable "i" has a value since the rest of the preloader works.

I know you can read the contents of a text file into a dynamic text field at runtime. Can you also insert the string contents of a variable into a dynamic text field at runtime? I simply want a dynamic text field that says "Welcome back, <username>" I am doing it right now with a static text field and a dynamic one, but if the username is really short, the whole thing is not centered and looks weird. Optimally, it should all be part of one element on the stage.
