ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating Dynamically Created TextField?
Mar 4, 2009
The following for loop dynamically creates 4 instances of the same button. Each button is then populated with its own textfield.I have given the textfield(s) an instance name of option0, option1,etc, etc. I want to populate the text in each field with something different (Home, Contact, etc, etc). I am trying to call the textField by its created instance name "option0", but I get an error saying it's not recognized.

We have a for loop creating text fields from arrays.
We have four arrays.
First three arrays create dynamic textfields getting their data values from a xml file.
The last array creates empty input textfields where the user enters the data.
What I'm trying to do is to send the values of these textfields to a PHP file.
The problem here is that I'm not being able to get the updated data of dynamically created input fields,which is the data that the user(visitor) enters.
P.S. : I'm using flash CS4 with action script 2.

i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.
here's a small piece of code i can't get working:
//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input
[Code].....
bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

I have a dynamic textfield on my stage with the instance name trackText.
I have declared public var trackText:TextField;.
When I trace trackText.text it gives me exactly what I expect but the actual text on the stage does not update.
public var trackText:TextField;
trackText.text = audioPlayer.currentSong.title;
trace("trackText = " + trackText.text);
// gives me what i expect "track 1" etc..
but the text on the stage still says "loading..."

I am trying to write a preloader for multiple images of unknown size from an external source. Therefore I am counting the clips as they complete and using this as the progress in a dynamic text field.
The dynamic text field loader_mc.loadText.text = Percent;
Loads only once when the 1st clip has loaded even though the trace within the same if bracket traces out the different percentages as each clip loads
Here's the onLoadComplete function...
mclListener_c.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
onEnterFrame = target._visible=false;
//trace("var container = "+container);
//trace("movie clip "+target+" has loaded");
loader_mc._visible = true;

I want a few variables to be updated when MyTextField is left. I tried this:
Code:
myTextField.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, update_everything)
function update_everything(e:Event):void{
}
But that didnt work. My function should also work if the text field is left with TAB.

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

I have BitmapData (in short 'bmp') which I use to compare pixels between two, same pictures. When I find my thing, then I load next picture into BitmapData and compare again but here is my problem. Loading picture into bmp only works when I click button which lead to function like that:
Quote:
private function dodaj():void{
bmp = new BitmapData(imedz2.width,imedz2.height);
bmp.draw(imedz2)
}
[Code].....
doesn't load image. Only thing that works is to use Spark Image component (with already specified source to file) and get picture from it.

I set up empty movie clip containers to hold my external .swf files when i load them in. I have 9 different external files that all load correctly. My issue is that when people view my website and cache the files after dynamically loading them, my changes that i make and upload dont take effect because their computers just pull the cached files from the last time they viewed it. This is critical for my site to work because of the amount of text updating and news that i do on it.

goal: Have a text box called "myText" update with the name of an instance that is clicked.Right now I have an instance of myText dynamically on the stage as an added childI also have seven instances of a building that all have individual instance names, bldg1,bldg2, bldg3, etc.I have created a variable called buildings: I also have a for each that makes the bldgNames the same as the buildings array.The problem arises when I want to click on the building and have the myText update with the actual building name (as described in my "trace"my code below.I would like, for example, when I click on the box that is entitled "Building 3" for the myText to read "bldg3".the whole code is:

Creating a non-interactive status display: I want to have theflash display reflect data in a server-based XML-file. So far thisis easy. But I want the display to change everytime the XML filechanges-- in order to reflect status changes. I've used anXMLConnector and specified it and the trigger in the first frame.The Flash code catches and shows the XML values initially . Butwhen I edit the XML file, the new values are never picked up byFlash- its almost as though the values are cached. How do I getFlash to regularly be updated from a changing XML file? I've alsotried putting the trigger in a loop- but that doesn't workeither.

I tried to search but 99% of the posts I saw were referring to manually created dynamic text boxes instead of.. algorythmically generated text for lack of better phrasing.
I'm trying to make an AS3 .swf that would display a small array of letters that have been created with TextField's, and not with dynamic text's being dragged onto the stage since there's going to be more than 100 of them. I've tried setting the textfield's .embedded to true, changing the fonts, making sure the text and backgrounds are different colors.. nothing.
In my .fla I have nothing for the document class under properties. In frame 1 there is one keyframe with three lines of code below and I've tried it with stop() and without. The class file is in the same folder and is MyArray.as This should be really easy but it's driving me insane.
MyArray.fla :
Code:
//stop();
import MyArray;
var test:MyArray = new MyArray();

How do I control the dynamic textfield inside the MC, which is inside the custom class object?
