ActionScript 3.0 :: Close The RPG Text Box After The Dialogue Is Completed?
May 20, 2010
I have been using this tutorial to get RPG text boxes in my game. So far, so good. The RPGtext.as I'm using comes from that tutorial, and hasn't been altered, while I'm calling the var arrays containing the character speeches from yet another document class. Something like this:
[Code]....
The dialogue begins and it's all good. Now, here's my dilemma: Is there a way to "shut down" the rpgText movieclip when the Dialogues.d1 has no more text to provide? Each time I press the rpgText movieclip, it refreshes with new text, but when it reaches the final text, I want to be able to press it and make it go away (remove movieclip from scene, something like that).
I tried the "if (Dialogues.d1.length == 0)", but it doesn't work. Is there a way to detect if the Dialogues.d1 has reached its final sentence? Will it be necessary to alter the rpgText.as?

I'm working on an RPG engine where all the dialogue is stored in an XML file. Ideally like to be able to pass the engine a large paragraph of dialogue text and display it bit by bit inside a fixed-width text field without splitting any words.So for example, if I were to pass the following chunk of text:"Good countrymen, let me depart alone, And, for my sake, stay here with Antony. Do grace to Caesar's corpse, and grace his speech. Tending to Caesar's glories; which Mark Antony"The engine would work like this:"Good countrymen, let me depart alone, " - PRESS SPACEBAR"And, for my sake, stay here with Antony. " - PRESS SPACEBAR"Do grace to Caesar's corpse, and grace his speech. " - PRESS SPACEBAR"Tending to Caesar's glories; which Mark Antony" - PRESS SPACEBARDoes anyone have any ideas how I could achieve this?

I've got main.swf witch is preloading another child.swf. It's little bit complecated, because I need to load child.swf from path relative to baseUrl passed to main.swf by flashvars. It works on IDE, FF3.5, safari, IE 8. Unfortunately it gives me " IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed" when running from IE 7 I've got no idea what to do about this. Heres how I load this child:
Code:
_loader = new Loader();
_loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
_loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.VERIFY_ERROR, onVerifyError);
_loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.NETWORK_ERROR, onNetworkError);
_loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.DISK_ERROR, onDiskError);
_loader.load(new URLRequest(SiteManager.baseUrl + "/site.swf"));
How it's possible that there is unhandled IOErrorEvent? Why is this related to browser?

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

I followed a tutorial online to create a photo gallery using an XML file. It works fine when tested in flash via the test movie window and with the bandwidth pro-filer turned on. So, I uploaded the page to my website to test it, and when I load the page in any browser I receive this error message in an adobe flash player pop up box:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Here's the Actionscript I am using:
var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.davidframpton.co.uk/Gallery/galleryData.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader (xmlRequest);
var imgData:XML;

I was working on a project and Error#2044 was driving me crazy, I try to catch all errors, review and over review my movie loaders but nothing, that error does't allow me to use preloader because it fires off from the begining. When I was totally on my knees I decided to start the whole project from scratch, but, just for the sake of it after making a new flash document I try to simulate downloading and the SAME error fire off!, What? there is nothing, not even a line of code, a pure fresh movie and this errors lurks in my movies.What could It be, it is just my Flash?, this has no sense, It is an empty (fresh movie), why does this error fire off?
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Fresh Movie.

As I said once before I'm making a dialogue based flash game.I'm relatively new to flash, so I've been having to scavenge for bits of code for what I want to do...-------Right now my situation is this -When a player "talks" with a character by pressing the "talk" button I want them to be able to pick up at the conversation point they were at last time. Not a save file, but more of a progression,so if they were to explore other parts of the world and come back to the same character, they'd have to click on the same "talk" button, but //still// be advanced in their dialogue tree.
Is there a way to do with with action script code?Something that will tell flash, "Oh, this is where we left off, I'll go to the next frame of dialogue" when players clic on the "talk" button?My only idea to do something like this is quite a hassle -make a variable named "times talked to" and have the button depended on this variable, and make it gain a point every time it is pressed,but I'm under the impression that this effect can be achieved without something like this.

I'm using flash cs4 on a mac and I need to embed some characters to support greek, and probably a lot of other languages. The problem is, my Character embedding dialogue box is empty! There's nothing in it at all... I'm using Tekton Pro as the font for that dynamic text box, I tried using something more basic, Arial and Helvitica didnt work, still nothing to embed. I know the phrase that will be in it, at least the first one, when I put it in the "Include these characters" box and reran, all the dt box would show is an apostrophe. I put the phrase into the dt filed itself and "autofilled" it did the same thing. I also tried doing the same with the % character version ie %B6, it picked up that they were characters but still wasnt displaying right. I'm diverging.

I'm building an RPG game and need help with the dialogue. I have no idea how to go about it. What I want to set up is something that after approaching a character and pressing spacebar (or any key), text displays with an image to the left of the character speaking. I've tried looking up tutorials but they all seem to be for CS3 (I am using Flash 8).
I currently have no code whatsoever to share, since...I don't know where to start =/ . Source codes would be appreciated, but most of all, I'd love a link to a tutorial or past thread that explains in detail (and layman terms...) how to do something like this, since I want to learn as I go.

I'm loading dynamic text from a textfile with some HTML tags in it. When I load it up, everything comes up fine except for the fact that any <a> tags remain active until the next <a> tag comes up. So there will be a whole block of text with a hand cursor that links to the previous <a> tag.

I'm using Macromedia Flash Professional 8 at the moment, and I'm fairly inexperienced with actionscript and most Flash processes. What I'm looking to do is create a game of sorts where characters appear on either side of the screen and a dialogue box appears at the bottom with text scrolling across every time the player clicks "Next" or whatever, and the characters' mouths move and their eyes blink as the text scrolls. We're using voice actors so we'd put an audio clip at the start of each piece of dialogue.

I have a site that has the main path under password protection. I also have a subfolder that have a separate (htaccess/htpasswd) password protection. For some reason, when I access the subfolder, I'm asked to put in my id/password twice. All of the files that are referenced are under the subfolder.
What should I be doing to troubleshoot this? I've tried this on different browsers and it's the same behavior. There is one main html page with a .swf (the only thing on the page)...it loads other assets but they are within the same subfolder.

i'm creating a very linear game which will be dialogue-heavy. In fact, there will be little action involved at all. Think a game storybook. I'm using ActionScript 2 because AS3 is just too complicate for the type of newbie that I am. But all I'm trying to do is set up dialogue between two characters in my game with an image of the speaking character to the left of the textbox. Something very much like this:I considered creating arrays for the dialogue but my problem is that if I create an array for every time two characters exchange three lines of dialogue, I would end up with over 300 arrays. Not my cup of tea.
So, instead, I focused on this. I created a function called speak. Speak pulls two parameters: charNum and charText. CharNum is a number which specifies which frame of the charPic instance should be displayed, showing which character is currently speaking. CharText is simply the dialogue the character will speak, which will be displayed in the dynamic textbox with variable name 'dialogue'.The following code is an example of what I have at home. I'm at work trying to get help, so I don't have the actual coding. Therefore, small errors may be present. I'm looking more at the overall functions guiding my code.
[Code]...
You see, AS2 sees these as I believe what is called synchronous functions, meaning they run at the same time. Therefore, the second speak function overwrites the first one before the user presses the space bar to go to the next one. See the issue?I've tried to seek help on this issue (and other before), and I keep getting told about arrays and setInterval. But my problem is that I've tried it all. I don't see a good array tutorial about this type of thing, and setInterval doesn't function like I'd want as well. Instead, it seems that from what I've read and tried, setInterval is for setting a delay up for a certain amount of time. I don't want that. I want a delay to occur until a button (namely the space bar) is pressed.
Like I said, this seems like a fairly common thing to do (stringing together dialogue in a flash movie/game), but I have seen no tutorial nor other help through all my Google and forum searching. A little push in the right direction would be appreciated. Like I said, I've figured out everything else my game needs from preloaders to game inventory to animation effects.

I have an swf, lets call it 1.swf, that has a button that calls another swf to level one. In that second swf, lets call it whatever.swf, on layer 1 it has an flv file of about 40 seconds. on layer two it has a button that has this action:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(1);
loadMovie("../swf/1.swf", 1);
}
So if that button is pushed, then it unloads whatever.swf as I need it to.
the problem is that if that button is not pressed, then when that 40 second flv finishes, it just sits there with a black stage and the button. What i need it to do is that when that 40 second flv is finished, it automatically unloads whatever.swf on level 1, again showing 1.swf on level 0.
Also, before anyone anwers, the way i did the flv is that in whatever.swf the flv was imported to the stage, i slected the "already deployed" put in the URL and then it created a flash video component which is on the stage.

I've tried giving my loaders names but I can't seem to access the name from the Event.Complete function.

I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
