ActionScript Code:
addChild(mc_mc);
addChild(mc_mc);
Are there two objects added to the stage or does the last addChild method overwrite the first?

I have a test field that I've created dynamically. If I add text to it by writing: myField.text = "some text" the text appears, but if I add text using a variable I don't see anything. If I trace the text field's text trace("text = " myField.text) I get the right value.

For some odd reason I'm getting this compiler error whenever I have a MovieClip that contains text in my library. Not really sure how to go about fixing this. It works fine once the MovieClip is removed.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

what "this.stageRef = stageRef" is actually doing. I used it because it was in the KeyObject class description that I have downloaded from Senocular.

I have been looking around for a long time to find a way to create a dynamic text field added to stage using as3 that is arched.I have seen this done in other sites but have had a hard time figuring out. Does anyone know of a component other than Text2Curve that is available? Has anyone already written something that arches a textfield that they would share?Arched text in flash seems to be impossible.

how I'd go about having a text field a user can change the dimensions of by clicking and dragging in Flash?
i.e. the movie would show a text field with transform handles and depending on how wide or high it changes the word wrap..

I m using a dynamic text field in my app. I have added one Event.Change Listener on it. When I type into it with the keyboard, the event triggers. But when i set some text in it when user performs some action, like textfieldName.text = "test" then the event does not triggers. In this type of situation where we are not using keyboard, which listener should be added to text field to trigger the change event?

I have encountered strange problem. I have created simple Flash text field control and I wanted to compare its content with some other string. This comparison in triggered when user is pressing the button.In Action Script 2.0 code I noticed that a caret return character () was added at the end of the string coming from the input text field.It is easy to overcome the problem obviously, however I would like to understand what is going on. I use Flash CS4 with AS 2.0.

So I am making a small course in Flash CS5 that will take the users input from the course using Text Input boxes on the stage and create a PDF document with the information using PurePDF. I have the PDF documents all working the course all set and I can access the Text Input field text from the main timeline and store it in a variable but I can't access that variable from my document class in order to plug it into the PDF document. I did some searching and I found people saying to use MovieClip(root).myVar but it just comes up null when I trace it.

I have read the tutorial called "loading text from external sources"(with 3 buttons loading 3 different texts) . I tried it but when I click right on the button, it says "cannot place actionscript directly on an object" Must the different buttons be on different layers?(In my project, they are on the last page of my site)

this is should be pretty simple but I have had a lot of trouble figuring this out..
I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)
I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.
I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.
I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..

I am trying to bring in multiple RSS feed nodes into one Dynamic Text field in Flash CS3 using AS3. I have made vars for my headline node and my description text node and I am able to have them both display in the same dynamic text field by formatting them with HTML tags. My problem is changing the text size and color for the description node var. Is this possible in the same Text field. Can the default text format be overidden by code?
Here is what I have so far....
ActionScript Code:
//This code loads and Parses the RSS feed
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
[Code].....
I tried adding size = '8' in the <p> tag but it did not override the default size in the Dynamic Text Field (dtfa) properties.

Shouldn't it display the same text across both states?

I am making a Flash movie where a user can change the font of a text field(AS3), and due to the embedded fonts functionality even fonts that ar not on the users computer can be selected.The problem is that I can embed only one font per text field. This should be no issue because they are embedded in the example text and are included in the library. But this does not work!It does not matter whether I use the font name or the name of the font in the library with trailing '*', it simply shows _serifThis problem drives me cray because it disables the main feature of the application.

I am at work right now trying to create a power point for our Christmas party. I know I can do so much more with Flash than I can with any other power point program. Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to load a list of names into one dynamic text field that changes at certain time intervals. I'm using ActionScript 2 right now b/c I haven't learned 3, yet. Is there a way for Flash to access a word document and load a name say, every minute? I know I could add a different variable name in front of each employee name, like content, content1, content2, but I have a list of like 300 names here. That would take up almost as much time as it would creating a slide for each name in Power Point.

I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field. I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.

I have created an organizational chart for the company I work for displaying all current employees. Each contact is shown as a button that displays a 'popup' window on rollover. All of this works perfectly. What I want is to create an option to click on each button and the individuals email address be added to a dynamic text field at the bottom of the page.
Just to clarify, I am able to have text entered into the text field on each click, however, clicking on the next button removes the previous text. I want each click to create a new entry in a list. For example: "contact1; contact2; contact3;" etc etc. The end result would be for the user to copy all text (email addresses) from the dynamic text box and paste it into their Outlook "To" section.

I've added a movie clip dynamically using the following code:
var apie=new cPie()
apie.x=100
apie.y=100
stage.addChild(apie)
I now have a pie on my stage. Yum. Assuming this works like a movie clip placed on the stage by dragging and dropping, I added this in to change an instance in the pie.

I have a bunch of movieclips which were created by "addChild" method. These movieclips are added to "gamecontainer". There was a dynamic textfield in each movieclip. Now the problem is how can I change the text in the dynamic textfield inside each movieclip outside this function.
Here is the code:
private function arrangeClips():void {

i have an array containing 4 mc:
Code:
private var notesDefinition:Array = [Note1, Note2, Note3, Note4];
When faceMc moves (while dragging or as a mouse trail), points are created dinamically every 200px and one of the array�s mclips is added there in a random function. Now i need to remove that mc when it reaches its last frame (just the mc on stage, not remove from the array). I tryed the following but its not working.
Code:
private function drawingAPI(event:Event):void{
var addNewNote:Boolean = false;
//add first point

I have a structure display like this: (brackets shows the depths, within their parent)
my question concerns 'communication' between the highlighted objects - so you don't have to waste time understanding the whole tree! I've just added this to provide some context!
mc_init (0)
___|
___mc_page (0)

Now, its easy to add a mouse event to btn(1), but how do I get this button to set the visible property (say) of 'rectangleBG(0)'
how do I access the paths? of these objects added to the stage?

Code:
function saveAction(evt:MouseEvent):void{
var choice=evt.target.name;
var inputText:String = saveName.text;
}
I have this and I am trying to make a variable from the contents of the input box. Simple ya? The issue is that it is a child of another clip that is being added dynamically, so it doesn't think the input exists. How do I declare the input? How can I target it's contents? Also I have a remove function that is meant to remove this same parent clip.
Code:
function closeSaveWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void{
removeChild(saver);
}
'saver' is a variable created in another function, so I think there is a scope issue there. To try to fix that I declared 'saver' as a movie clip as a global var.
