when I add button1.addChild(prodName); prodName being my textField, I can't see the text when I add stage.addChild(prodName); I see the text in the upper left corner of the stage. Do I need to do anything specific to get my textField to show up in the movieClip "button1"?
View 14 RepliesI have a problem with loading text from a *.txt file into a dynamic textfield which is located in a movieclip in another movieclip. It seems it can't find the textfield because it is in movieclips. I know I shouldn't work with the '_root' command but in my project it doesn't matter. Also tried making '_root' globalmain to 'this'. But that still doesn't do the trick.
Code:
tdata = new LoadVars();
tdata.onLoad = function(success) {

I'm adding text to a movieclip as you can see below. The text is alomost not visible because it's so small. If I don't scale the movieclip then the text becomes clipped. I basically want the movieclip to be a tight container (the same size as the textfield) for the Textfield. The below does not work. How can I do this?

I'm dynamically creating a navigational menu using a movieclip I've created that contains a textField. I want to change the text color of the TextField in the movieclip when a mouseover is performed. (The movieclip is in the library.)I've added "menuItem.menuText.textColor = 0x333333;" to the mouseover event, and that works, but only on the textField of the last movieclip placed on the stage.I somewhat understand why that's happening, I just don't know how to fix it (I'm still new to AS3).[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield in a libraried movieclip.
I referred to the movieclip from an external class and have the linkage setup for it.
However, no matter what I try to do to instanciate the text field inside it, I keep getting:
Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
Now I really want to have this dynamic textfield inside the movieclip because it's part of a preloader so I don't just want to addChild to the stage. So Now I think I can't just build it.
I've been working on this all afternoon long and can't seem to shake this error.
I can't seem to make this clip disappear. I've tried calling it from it's parent object and also tried putting this.removeMovieClip(); inside the clip itself, but it just won't go. I don't have the same problem with other clips in the movie. This is the only one that has a dynamic text field, but I don't see why that would make a dif.
View 3 RepliesI have a flash-file with a movieclip holder (export for actionscript as : holder)In that movieclip I have two textfields, instance names "title" and "content".So when I call the function useHolder(), this should put the movieclip on stage and display "titelinhoud" in the title-field, no ?
function useHolder() {
_root.attachMovie("holder","holder", 725);
_root.holder._x = holder._y = 100;
_root.holder.title.text = "titelinhoud";
}
Now it shows just the background of the movieclip (so that gets loaded on stage), the title-field stays empty (although I embedded the font), only the content-field is showing the dummy content I put in in flash.
I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:
//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;

i have a movieclip containing a dynamic text-field in it. When movieclip is stretched using transform manager, the text stretches. i am developing a component. Moreover,Event.Resize can not be used as Event.Resize is the Stage event. it does not work for movie-clips and sprite.Putting it in Event. Enter Frame works but that hangs the whole CMS when this technique is used.
View 1 RepliesI am a newbie in Flash CS3. How to resize the width of of a movie clip according to the size the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.
I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;
On doing this I find the clickable area changes according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all.
I need to load some swfs inside a movieclip with preloader.So on the stage I have some movieclips (linked to "product1" class) which will act as buttons to load particular swf, a holder mc and a dynamic textfield(named-"percent") for preloading stuff.My problem is how to reffer "percent" text field from the "product1" class? my code is like this.

I parse an xml file that his content is:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<operators>
<operator><name>OPerator1 </name></operator>
[Code].....
I display the name of operator in a TextField after parsing the xml file my problem is to loop through this different TextField with a fade effect.
I've completed my XML-driven image gallery, however upon live testing I'd realized I made a rookie mistake and not put some kind of placeholder "loading" movie clip loop while the thumbnails and subsequent full-size images are being loaded. The images will randomly appear when loaded and I would like to be able to insert a placeholder movie clip while they load, and swap them up with the thumbnails/images after it has been loaded. The placeholder movie clip is in my library (loadingLoop), but I'm having problems getting it to work correctly.
Below is the original function that processes the XML and adds the thumbnail images; this is where I'm trying to insert the placeholder movie clip per XML child node (every attempt I've made just keeps throwing more errors, so I've omitted my attempts to avoid confusion), and I've attached the XML file for testing.

View 3 RepliesI have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?

View 2 RepliesHow to add a dynamic text field to display the time elapsed and time remaining to play. I have been checking out the Adobe Live Doc but cannot search for what I need. Below is the code I have already that just shows the video and its controls.
Actionscript Code:
//the below script it on a button on click actionvideoholder.vidPlayer.source = "videos/Introducing our team.flv"//this code is in the same frame as my FLV holder called 'vidPlayer'import fl.video.*;// vidPlayer is the FLV holder//CustomVideoControls is the mc where the play, pause, mute buttons arevidPlayer.playPauseButton = customVideoControls.playpause;vidPlayer.seekBar = customVideoControls.seekvideo;vidPlayer.muteButton = customVideoControls.mutevideo;vidPlayer.fullScreenButton = customVideoControls.fullScreenButton;
I've been trying for hours to add the elapsed time to a dynamic text field using a video player.
The Flash website has code similar to this:
Select all//Get playhead time
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace(ns.state + ": playhead time is: " + eventObject.playheadTime);
controls.elapsed = Math.round(eventObject.playheadTime);
};
ns.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", listenerObject);
But that was designed for an FLVPlayback component and therefore does not work.
I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?
