ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Won't Update In A Menu?
Jul 3, 2010I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through.I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips .e.'_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.The code in _root is:
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_bu tton_text.text = "home";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_2.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our approach";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_3.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our work";

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Scrollbar - Component Does Not Update Itself To Accommodate Text That Is Larger Than The Text Box
Dec 12, 2003I have an empty textbox with the basic scroll bar component. Nothing is in the text box so the arrows are greyed out on the scrollbar. I have a button that loads text into the textbox, but the component does not update itself to accomodate text that is larger than the text box.
how can I make it so that the scrollbar changes when text is added.....also If I put text in the text box in flash, when I publish it gets the scrollbar fine, but it will not adjust itself when I click on the button that loads different text into the text box. what happens is the scroll bar stays the same regardless on the size of the loaded text.
Update Text In A MovieClip
Jul 1, 2009I am trying to create a text box which I can dynamically update from an XML file and move around in 3D at the same time. Is it possible?
I can create a dynamic text field and update if from an XML file and.I can create a dynamic text field, convert it into a Movie clip allowing me to move it round the screen but I can't do both without losing the text (I have also tried embedding the font).
Is it fundamentally possible in CS4 or CS3 to dynamically update a text field once it has been converted to a MovieClip/Symbol?
IDE :: How To Update Text In Flash
Sep 28, 2009This is basically my second 100% flash website where the client wants to be able to update the schedule section, for the first one I basically created an HTML document for each event and then loaded all documents to my .fla file using Actionscritp 3.0, then to update them my client goes directly to the cpanel and edit the HTML files there, but I was wondering if any of you have been this situation before where the client wants to do the updates (text only).This is not a problem when the page is 50/50 HTML and Flash since I can use a Content Management System such as Cushy CMS this way the updates are easy.
View 6 RepliesFlash :: Professional - Update Via SCUP - The Client Is Not Supposed To Be Interfered With The Update Progress
Nov 17, 2011I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Auto-update Dynamic Text Box With PHP/SQL?
Mar 19, 2010I have a dynamic text box that I'm loading data into from a PHP file using loadVariablesNum("data.php", 0);
The PHP runs a SQL query that fetches data from MySQL. The data in the MySQL database changes frequently, and I want to update the dynamic text box with the latest info.
How do you do that? Or is it possible? I assume you use setInterval.
Currently, it only updates the field if I visit the PHP file and refresh the data. Otherwise, the dynamic text box just displays the data from the last SQL query.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Update Text Area Inside A Button?
Jul 20, 2009I know you can't target movieclips and text inside buttons in AS2, but I'm hoping there's a workaround in AS3. I've been handed a complex world map FLA with about 400 individually stylized buttons (various countries and regions) each with special text boxes in their rollover states. My job is to parse XML and push bits into the respective text area boxes.To simplify as much as possible, I've encapsulated all the buttons in an movieclipcountries_mc) and swapped the individual static text boxes for each country with an 'export for actionscript' classed movieclip (Overlay) containing a text area component (bodyCopy_ta).Kind of like this:-- stage----countries_mc------button (given instance name on stage, listened for MOUSE_OVER event)--------Overlay (shared in library, listened for ENTER_FRAME event)----------bodyCopy_taMy thinking is if I can listen for a button rollover, it seem like I should be able to change the text at Overlay.bodyCopy_ta through an event listener, regardless of where it's been placed on stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Sadistic Textfield Writes Text Over Previous Update Weirdness?
Mar 5, 2011I tried something which was very simple in AS2, attaching dynamic movieclip and then attaching dynamic textfield inside that MC, which should update on progress event for loading an image, displaying percentage of loading done. Surprisingly, I have no problem with displaying accurate percentage info, my problem is this: most of the updates of textfield.text writes itself OVER the old text, instead of replacing it. Hehehehehe, LOL! You get it? It behaves like I create new textfield over the old one each time I update text. And I'm sure the code is not recreating textfield or MC, at least I'm positive thats not what I told it to do. So although I'm a bit new to AS3, and may probably doing something wrong, I'm getting more and more suspicious that this is a bug within flash itself, the thing that should not be.
It will be hard for me to recreate the code here, as I tried many different things in the meantime, so I'll just show bits of latest version which doesn't create totally dynamic MC and textfield, but attaches dynamically MC containing textfield which is inside library. The problem remains the same, and I'm sure I compile/upload latest swf version and clean browser cache everytime...Code://btw, timeline is public static MovieClip, which is like root,//and containerMC is public static MovieClip which is attached separately//Also if you see something without being declared as var, be sure its a static property declared in class
//func called after thumbnail button is clicked to open image
public static function prepareImageOpen(imgObj:Object)
