ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Timeline From Dates To Text?
Feb 10, 2011
The template has a timeline at the bottom of the page. The dates are dynamic based on the data in the boxes above it. If you have 3 boxes, one dated 2011, one 2010, one 2009 it will fill the timeline from 2009 to 2011. I want to change the timeline from numbers to text. For example, if I were to put Baseball in one box, Football in the next, and Soccer in the other I want the timeline to show:-----|----------|------------| Baseball----Football-----SoccerHere is the AS code below.M me and we can discuss them there.
ActionScript Code:
//---------------------------------------------------------TimeLine
function _yrOvrF(param1:MouseEvent) {

I have some input text fields (by the text tool, not the component) in my form that I was wondering if they could be auto-formatted. I was looking specifically for dates & numbers. For example when the user inputs 082606 and then tabs away it would immediately update to 08/26/06, or when the user inputs 50000 it would immediately update to 50,000.

I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.

I have an animation that loops and has different images come up with certain elements on the screen that remain the same throughout the movie. Depending on the image that is being displayed, the url of the link assigned to one of the constant elements changes with the code that I posted below.
The problem occurs when the movie loops because the URL of the constant is supposed to go back to the first link (just like everything else loops and starts at the beginning) but it remains as the last url that was declared.
Here are the three blocks of code I am using for the links, truth is the instance name of the button. These code snippets are arranged in their own "actions" layer on my timeline
First URL
truth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:../pages/calculate.html");

When I close the file (making sure to save) and reopen it. All the frame #'s attributed to the hand symbol revert back to frame 1.Meaning I have to redo every hand pose again and again and again. More importantly when the animation is approved and I send it off, when the client opens it the animation is incomplete.

I have been shown how to do a very specific task in Flash Pro CS5. I have five slides in my timeline, with buttons that include links to product pages on our website. These five slides comprise a movie, with each slide being displayed for a few seconds and it repeatedly cycles through the five slides in a banner at the top of our home page. In addition there is a navigation bar below my slide images with a play and pause option, plus the five slide numbers so the viewer can navigate from slide to slide manually. I have been asked to change the order of the slides so that slide #5 now becomes slide #1 and slide #1 becomes slide #2, and so on.
I can easily switch the images and links so that the slides are in a different order in my file, but now the navigation bar below does not work. In the Actions panel, the #1 button in the navigation bar still appears to be linked to slide 1, which now has the new images, yet the nav bar does not respond to clicks anymore. How was my nav bar disabled when I switched the images and links around between the slides? and how can I correct this? I know nothing else about Flash except how to replace the images and change the button links in each slide, which I do monthly, as this is the top banner on our website.

I can get the videos to play using the flvplauer component, but im having a little trouble figuring out if and how to dynamically change the path of the flvplayer while running through a timeline. If I can do something like mc.changeFLVPath that would be awesome!

I've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?

I'm trying to get the time from the server (php) and then display a different flash movie (via either a different swf or frame on timeline) accordingly.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything that relates to this using as3.

I am creating a very basic menu. My project consists of a main file that then calls other swf's to fill in the rest of the content. My main timeline is this. There is an preloader which hasn't been built yet, a intro section that is two movie clips (one loads the layout, one fades in my buttons). Then when all this loads, I load the first swf. My difficulty is that I am trying to get my buttons, which are held in mc_buttons, to change the variable myLoader on the main timeline. So when you click on a button, it swaps in a different swf for the current loaded one. I have tried calling the following code attached below.
My error is:
"1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer."
Now, if I define the myLoader variable in the mc_buttons and do an addchild() there, I get the correct content, it just is on top of the old content which isn't what I want...

I want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

Is it possible to change the text property of a text field that is contained within a sprite? I've been trying but can't come up with the right syntax. Here is what I'm doing:
I've created a sprite named "lessonSprite" and added a text field to it in one function. Now, in another function, I'd like to change the text in the field.
I've tried to use this:
lessonSprite.titleField.text = xmlLsnContent.attribute("title");
where "titleField" is the name of the field added to the sprite "lessonSprite" in an earlier function.

I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library. I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin' I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want. I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.How can I :1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void{ Mouse.cursor="button";
//Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'
//I want to change the color of Administartion on Mouse_Over

Consider I have the text
A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Now, this text is in a dynamic text field. I do not want to change the color of the whole field. just made fox red and dog blue.
How, can I do that in AS3. Have been looking around without no luck.

I have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.
the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:
Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"
then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.
I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.

I'm trying to put a text in a dynamic text box. The text element, however, is placed dynamically:
var topText:myDynamicText = new myDynamicText();
topText.name = "NameTextTop";
topText.text = String("Text 1");
addChild(topText);
topText.text = String("Text 2");
Placing the text element isn't the problem, but I cannot seem to change the text in the element. As you can see, I tried placing the text before and after putting the text element on the stage. Both didn't work. The text element is creating from scratch by adding text with the Text Tool. It's single line dynamic text, Arial regular and the text characters have been embedded. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem, because I'm completely stuck.

I have this piece of code which basically takes some text from an XML file and displays it into a dynamic textbox called "a1" then the same text into another dynamic textbox called "a1h":
Code:
var a1Node=findNode(rootNode, "a1");
a1=getValue(a1Node);
var a1box:String = a1;
a1h = a1
Say if "a1" is "England" is there a way to make "a1h" say a shorthand version...something like "ENG"I could use a simple if else function but I have lots of dynamic textboxes and lots of different countries.

for my latest task at work, oh what joy, i have to create a small banner thing which reads data from a text file... BUT... it only reads from the text file IF there is a text file present which i labeled TODAYS date!
Get todays date IF there is a file present in a certain directory which is called todays date.txt (ie. 02042006) then it reads the info in that text file and prints it into a certain area in the flash file. If there is nothing present it just displays the default stuff!!
