ActionScript 3.0 :: Read Numbers For A Dynamic Text Box?

Mar 16, 2009

I have created a dynamic text box (named "numberString") inside a movieclip "circle" which is on the stage. Anyways, I have 24 frames in movieclip "circle", with numbers from 1-24 on different frames. These numbers are in "numberString".Since the animation allows the numbers to continually play over and over again, and thus the numbers are always changing, I was wondering: how can I 'read' the number that is playing when I, say, roll over it? I know the script for the roll over, but I can't figure out an efficient way to find out what number is playing when I put my mouse over it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Spam Read Text Inside A Dynamic Textbox

Oct 9, 2009

i think i read an article before about google or some SE teaming up with the Adobe Flash Developers in an effort to include flash pages into search results by allowing the text inside SWFs to be read by the SEs... not really sure about the details, but its something to that extent..

that's good news but what i would like to know is if spam bots can do the same and read text inside an SWF file?for example, if i have an SWF file with a dynamic textbox that has some text that contains an email address, will spam bots be able to read it?if this is the case, then i will just make the email address an image..but the benefits of having the email address inside a dynamic textbox is that it's selectable; making it easier for visitors to just copy the address as opposed to having to look at the image and type it manually...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Basic Preloader - Dynamic Text Box Which Should Read The Variable "_root.loadText"

Jun 22, 2010

I admit I'm fairly new to flash, but I've almost finished an entire RPG battle system complete with music [etc. etc.] - but my problem is trying to add a preloader.. I have a basic page which says "Loading" and has a Dynamic text box below which should read the Variable "_root.loadText". In the first frame I have this code:

[Code]...

and in the second just "_root.gotoAndPlay(1);" for the updating process. I'm sure that's all okay. But when I export it, then upload the swf file to somewhere like SwfCabin to show people for testing purposes, they have to wait on just a blank white screen for 1~3 minutes.. -note: I use both Adobe flash CS3 [at home] and Macromedia Flash 8 [at school] - I can stick to just CS3 if needed.

Professional :: Dynamic Text Not Working In CS5

Apr 4, 2011

I have a percentage counter in my preloader which always worked  perfectly well in CS3. Now that I've uploaded to CS5 the preloader shows  the static text "LOADING" but not the dynamic text with the percentage loaded.  I have re-embedded the fonts, get no errors when I publish, and the  preloader actually does seem to be working. Why would the dynamic text  not show up? I am using Classic Text fields.

HTML Tags Not Working In Dynamic Text Box?

Oct 30, 2009

My HTML tags are not working in a dynamic text box. Im guessing it is cause of the scrolling and maybe it dosn't see <br> so it dosn't allow them. This is the code i am using below.

TextField.prototype.maxviewable = function(){
if(this.maxscroll>1) return this.bottomScroll;
var b = (this.html) ? this.bottomScroll-1 : this.bottomScroll;
if (!this.length) this.text = ">>";

TextField Dynamic Text Stopped Working

Oct 7, 2009

Some of the dynamic text fields in my application stopped working. This is part of a major application which I have been working on for a few months. It worked fine until today. 3 different dynamic text fields suddenly do not show text when I set the text from actionscript This is what I tried:

1) Tried with and without text embedding

2) Turned on and off html

3) Tried with .text and .htmlText

4) Removed the TextField and added a new one

5) Added static text into the dynamic TextField and did not add the dynamic text with actionscript --> the initial text appeared I am working with CS3 and recently updated. I am considering deleting Flash and not running the update.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Swapdepths With New Mc From Dynamic Text Still Not Working

Feb 21, 2011

difference but Im using Flas cs5 with AS2. but my clock timer is still behind. Ned, I used your suggestion of putting my dynamic text into a new mc (create sybol method, the only one I know) then I made a new movieclilp named time_mc. I then pasted the actionscript with the 30 minute countdown timer on it. It is still behind. The clouds have to stay on the last depth and the timer has to stay on the top. The rest can go whereever. Not sure what i am doing wrong. I bet Im doing something incorrect but cant figure it out. I kept playing around with codes, but nothing worked. Here is the final non-working code. Working on this issue three days. The timer works if I remove all other layers but it stays hidden once I put them back,

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Working With Globals?

Mar 9, 2012

I'm just starting working with AS but I'm a pretty experienced programmer. AS syntax and Adobe Flash are often driving me crazy but usually after hours of days of struggling I get what I want. Not this time though. In the game I'm making I have a global variable that counts your steps. I made a dynamic text field and as its variable I typed: _global.mile And now the fun part. It's not refreshing. When I leave the frame and get back to it, it's updated, but it's not being updated all the time. To test this, I put this code in onEnterFrame function:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Centering Dynamic Text Not Working?

Mar 16, 2010

I have an AS3 project I'm working on. All the text is coming in dynamically via XML file.I'm also using an external CSS to control the look of the text. Everything seems to be coming in fine. I can dynamically create a new TextField and put my text into it. The problem is that I want it centered on the stage and I've been trying with NO success.If I set the width of the TextField to be the width of the stage, that works, but I cannot get the text to center in it if multiline is true

Code:
var serverNameTxt:TextField = new TextField();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Dynamic Text Not Working

Jun 3, 2010

This is a problem I often come across but have never found an answer through extensive searching of the net.

I have a simple line

_root.txt_progressbar.text = "Parsing CSV file to grid.";

Yet this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work. Seems to have issues if I put it in a function. It is like it doesn't have enough time to action this line. Is there some kind of delay I can use to wait for it to be done?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Alpha Property On Dynamic Text Not Working?

Sep 25, 2008

I have generated several TextFields dynamically through a for loop. I would like all the text fields to have their alpha set to 0 so that each field can eventually fade in.

When I apply the alpha property by setting it to 0, or even .5 the text appears to still be at an alpha of 1. Does anyone know how to make the text appear with a low to 0 alpha?

I have attached the code from the function which runs the for loop to generate the text fields. Please not that the value of the text fields are stored in a global array, and the text format objects are also global and are declared in the main body of the class.

Professional :: Dynamic Text Fields Not Working Properly In CS5?

May 27, 2010

In an attempt to use a dynamic text field on my page, and passing text to it such as..

question.text = "Sample text here"

..where the instance name of the dynamic text field is "question" ..I found that if I add another text box to the page as static text, but using the same font as the dynamic field, the dynamic field populates incorrectly.If I compile using CS4 it works fine, and if I break apart the static text in CS5 it works fine.I also found if I change the font of the static field to something other than that of the dynamic.. it works fine.However in further testing..if I place a second static text field on the page,the dynamic again breaks even if I use the different font as before.

All of these scenarios work fine in CS4, but in CS5 is causing my dynamic field to change to the same as my static text, or simply mixing letters and otherwise not displaying my dynamic text...I've tested on three systems here all with CS5 ...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Field AutoSize Not Working?

Mar 23, 2010

I have a dynamic text field populated by xml which doesn't seem to like the autoSize property. The field populates correctly but doesn't auto size at all. The purpose of this text field is to inform the user of the url for an ad they can click on as they roll over it.

ActionScript Code:
popUpmc.popUpTxt.autoSize = true;

Setting autoSize while inside the XML onLoad() function and outside it made no difference. Please help, I'm sure I must be forgetting something? Does this have to be applied with a new text format or something?
