CS4, AS2 or AS3 (haven't decided which on to use) I have text stored in a Sql Server 2005 database, and this text I want displayed inside a textfield in flash movie.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. If you have any clues... The AS I'm using:
[Code]...
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 am loading a <html> text into the textfield. I am wondering how do i give a tab/space. & nbsp ; is not supported I guess
View 2 RepliesI already have the text loading working.The only thing I'm not sure how to do, is that I need the text to have different fields with different fonts.I'm specifically doing a blog. Each entry is comprised of the title, date and content. And I need to format the title and date to one font, and the content to a different one.How can it be done?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to load text into a dynamic text field, and if yes how could I do this? I've searched a few tutorials on dynamic text fields but it concentrates on scrolling. I would like unique text to load in the dynamic text field depending on which navigation button I click on.
(i.e. I click on "button1" and "blabla1" text appears in the text field. I click on "button2" and blabla2" text appears in the same text field.)

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a dashboard with a lot of buttons that will display pieces of text from an XML file. The trouble is, I can't figure out how to clear the text from a field once it is displayed. If I push another button, the new data will replace the old data, but if the new button is display a smaller data set, it will only replace some of the former data set and the rest stays displayed. Does that make sense? I found some code that clears the text fields, but I don't know where to put it:

I'm creating a quiz application using Flash CS3, but it's been such a long time since I've used ActionScript and I'm a little bit stuck.I've created an input text box in the first frame of my quiz program. A person will enter their name into this text box (which I've called "nameInput") and then click the next button to proceed through the quiz.However, when I get to the results page I cannot figure out how to get the input name to be displayed automatically in the dynamic text box (which is called "nameOutput") when the user enters the frame.

My code compiles without error. The text displayed on screen is generated from an external AS file.
I want to display text which can be circled/marked over by the user. Also the user must be able to print/erase and move on to a new swf file once the page has been printed off. I have looked at a few different options but as yet I have been unsuccessful with the functionality.
View 1 RepliesI can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes. I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.[code]I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array.

View 3 RepliesI have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code].....
This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.
