ActionScript 3.0 :: Variable Displayed By A Textfield?
Jul 12, 2009
I simply want to do is display a variable via a Textfield. This was easily done in AS2 by making a var; "var1", then making a textfield with a var; "var2", and having code that var2 = var1...
But of course this can't be done now.. =(
I have a found a tutorial where you create a textfield version fot he variable.. this being the coding..
ActionScript Code:
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.text = "Hello!";
myText.x = 200
myText.y = 200
addChild(myText);
But from my experience of AS in the past (AS2) Any Textfield which utilises "text here" is not possible to show coding such as
ActionScript Code:
myText = myText+=1;
Which is all I want to do. I want a variable. Editable with easy, simple coding such as the one just above. Which is displayed in a textfield. Which will constantly update it's display of the variable as the variable changes.
Just like what was easily done in AS2...
I have tried to find out tutorials etc, after finding out about the one above, I foudn one which was meant to be able to update the textfield. But ti utilised event lsiteners, of which I know nothign about, and the tutorials I've found didn't ..tutorial very well.. didn't even say what was with all the "package" stuff..

I'm currently having a fair amount of trouble doing something that in it's concept is quite simple but appears to be hard to make happen.I am hoping to check a textfield, whatever is in that text field is then used as a variable to set another textfield, for example:
ActionScript Code:
var Na = 23
var C = 12

I've seen many times the following procedure to assign a variable name to a text field:
- We create a generic movieclip which contains a dynamic text field called "tittle" (for example)
- We add 4 instances of this movieclip to frame 1 in our main time line.
- We give them a different name (testMC1, testMC2, testMC3 and testMC4)
- We also add this little AS into frame 1:
testMC1.tittle = "Hello";
testMC2.tittle = "How";
testMC3.tittle = "are";
testMC4.tittle = "you";
If we run the fla we'll have the 4 movieclips on screen "Hello How are you". So far, it's ok, no problem and everything's understood. However I'm trying to implement a variation for this method which I need to use, but I'm not succeeding. I'd like to assign the variable values from a plain text file instead.
Hence, I create a plain text file called "Exampletext.txt". Inside this file I put the following variable values:
&variable1=Hello
&variable2=How
&variable3=are
&variable4=you
I add this piece of AS lo load the variables from the text file:
this.loadVariables ("Exampletext.txt");
And finally, I modify this bit too:
testMC1.tittle = variable1;
testMC2.tittle = variable2;
testMC3.tittle = variable3;
testMC4.tittle = variable4;
And well, it does not work at all!

I'm trying to get a variable that I get from a PHP-script to be a link in a textfield.
Right now I'm using an html tag to make a link to the information I want to display...
This works but I think its not good enough... I want to get a "rollOver" function on the Headline instead of a new line that says click me.
The following code displays in the textfield "content":
News
Headline <--Headline from the database
Teaser <-- Text from the database
Click me <-- Html link that displays the full text in a textfeild called "info"

I am having a bit of a headache with regards to this problem
Code:
class A {
private var tf:TextField;
private var canvas:MovieClip
[code]....
Why is it that the above code does not work? I need reference to the textfield so i can apply different TextFormats depending on the state of target_mc.Why does flash complain that Void is found where textField is expected?

Comparison of number or string is understandable. But how come when in flash AS3.0, we do :
var a:TextField = new TextField();
var b:TextField = new TextField() ;
[Code]....
Is their some Application-wide ID, that flash gives to each component instance. Or is it compairson of the strings ( comparing the whole path of each component )

I'm keeping score in a game. I have a text field with an instance name "finalScore". The score is a Number.
Code:
trace ("score = "+score);
finalScore.text = String(score);
trace ("finalScore = "+finalScore);
The output looks like this:
score = 10
finalScore = [object TextField]
The text field comes up with "1" not 10.

I am building a project where I got XML text displayed on a textfield. How can I change a specific word's color through actionscript 3 instead of doing it on XML? I though of creating a String variable for my word and then using that variable in my textfield.text, it works but is it possible to set a color for that variable?

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 have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)

I have a variable called AICC_Student_ID, which is talking to an LMS to pull in a student's unique ID (usually the same as their NTID). I need to take that JS variable value, and slap it into a String for treatment.I looked at the work it would take to use SWFObject, and since this little swf is going onto literally thousands of pages, manually hacking each and every one is just not worth it.

I am working on a FLASH website that loads 3 flash movies (header, content and menu). The menu movie is displayed at the bottom. I am looking for a way to display the menu always at the bottom of the browser window (the visible bottom). This way, if the screen resolution of the user is too small, the user won't have to scroll to see the menu. I know it can be done. On this page, you can see that the copyright character is always displayed the bottom right of the browser window.[URL]

I have a container symbol called BoxContainer. This can contain an unknown number of Radio Button components. To add these, I have an array of Radio Buttons called boxes.This is part of the CheckBoxes class.Here's my problem: When I add the radio buttons as children to the stage, from the frame itself, it works just fine. However, I need to add it to the BoxContainer movie clip. I have tried:
On the frame:
for(var i in Checkbox.boxes)
{[code]..........
However, both of these do not work. When I run the flash, the radio buttons are not visible. How can I fix this?

I'm attempting to get a variable to be displayed on a screen by the use of dynamic text thats been linked to a variable via the properties menu. The variable however is attached to a move clip and is within an onClipEvent.For some reason I can only get the varible to be displayed by putting it on a frame. So is there anyway i can get a varible to be displayed that is within a MC or can I use a command in that MC to change a varible thats stored in a frame?
