ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A TextField Like An Array?
Nov 14, 2009
I want to load many data form xml file so I want to create TextField and put my xml data to that TextField in other hand I have to create many TextField and Control them, how can i create a TextField like an array?
I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
I am working on an interactive quiz type game using arrays and multidimensional arrays.
I am trying to make a dynamic textfield say "the current question" + "Sorry, the correct answer is..." + "the second answer in the first string of answers in the array".
I think I am pretty close, but there is an error in the syntax.
Here is the line of code where I try to do this:
questionHolder.question.text=(String (cat4Questions[0]) + "Sorry, the correct answer is "+ String (cat4Answers[0,2]));
I am getting this error:
VerifyError: Error #1030: Stack depth is unbalanced. 1 != 0.
Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?
I am working on a flash game based on an AS3 project using FlashDevelop. I need a textbox with scroll bar. I was able to create an editable TextField, but I can't find a way to add a vertical scroll bar.
Converting AS2 to AS3 , In my project I have an array that refers to a set of movieClips and textFields. I want to cycle trough the array and find out wether the string represents an movieClip or array.
PHP Code:
var changeFocusItems:Array = new Array();changeFocusItems.push("myMovieClip");changeFocusItems.push("myTextFieldOnStage");for each (var myItem:String in changeFocusItems) {if (myItem is
[Code].....
How do I recognise myItem string as a textField / movieClip?
I'm creating an array of thumbnails. The images are being read via an xml file. This works fine. What doesn't work is the TextField I put underneath the thumbnail image.
Code: Select all var thumbContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); thumbContainer.addChild(loadedThumb); var sl = new slNum_mc; //This is being referenced as a class from the library. sl.slideNumber.text = "abc"; //slideNumber is a dynamic textfield in the movie clip class sl, the initial sl.slideNumber.y = 90; // text "abc" does apply at runtime thumbContainer.addChild(sl); addChild(thumbContainer); searchSlideArray.push(thumbContainer); //Adds it to an array I already set up
This much does work. But when I try to trace it like this: Code: Select alltrace(searchSlideArray[0].sl.slideNumber.text); I get an error. How can I correctly reference the text in a text field that is housed in a movie clip class?
It outputs the array just fine, but what I want to do is add in a line break here and there to make it more beautiful. In the dynamic text field properties there is an option for "Render text as HTML". With the option checked I tried adding in <br> and/or <p> HTML tags but all it does is prints out the "<br>" instead of making a new line. (I also have the text field set to Multiline.) Is there anyway to get it to have a line break?
Is it possible to create a input textfield that's always active? Normally you need to click it but id like it to be already 'clicked' when the movie loads.
I have no problem dynamically loading text if I place a textField on the stage but I can't seem to get the following to work using the createTextField. I shortened my code to make it easier to read and still show what I am trying to do. Also I can I place the text within the BlueMenu or only on top of it? Is so how?
I can't figure out how they create clickable buttons around the text that has associated changes. The button even shifts with the text so that it remains in the correct spot as I type in front of it.
Howz the day? Well im new to Flash scripting. Can you guide me for the following problem.I generated the xml file through that data in it, i would like to get the output in flash file (.fla).
[Code]...
Where in this xml file number of object type of content and image are not same for every page.For every content like to create <TextField> as well as every image like to create <Movieclip> automatically based on every page.After generating the objects in the xml file into the flash scripting.If its more than one page.User can able to view in the format of <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> button.So this is the scenario.if anyone come across this problem just tell your way of suggestion,snippets or sample peice of code to move ahead further.
i am using the createtextfield method to create textfields in my swf, but i can't see them i can copy paste the content of them, and the things related to them work properly, but they won't appear in my swf. i thought they were underneath some image, but when i switch off (_alpha=0) the image, there is nothing. i also have an attachmovie in the same movieclip i create textfileds in, but the clip attached is visible.here's the code i am using:
I am trying to output my cart array into a dynamic text field and format it. After the user clicks 'add' I am using...
ActionScript Code: //insert product data into cart array details.push([ItemCode,ItemColor,SecondColor,Price,Description]); //reset text box var textoutput:String = ""; //loop through contents [Code] .....
How can I format each value? Ineed some sort of neat table style output but how to do this in flash.
Given an array of strings, how would i get an array of different textfield Objects, labeled with that string? WITHOUT explicitly defining every single Object. My idea was to create an array with textfield objects, and then assign the strings in a loop. But how do I create such an array?
I'm trying to get values of an array to display into a single text field but I'm also trying to bold the first few letters dynamically using the setTextFormat() method.Basically trying to achieve what the google search function does when it comes up with auto suggestions and each keyword gets un-bolded.
SlideTitles.text is an input field. I want the user to enter the titles in in this format
slide one;;slide two;;slide three
Calling the slides whatever they want, and they can have as many as they want.
I need to able to split them values up and put them into a string array. (after they submit them)
so it would end up being myStringArray = ("slide one", "slide two", "slide three")
so far i'm failing. I did do a bit of searching around but couldn't find anyone doing this same thing.
I've tried myStringArray = (textfieldsxx)
and then setting the value of textfieldsxx to equal the slideTitles.text... but then it just ends up as 1 value in the array, no matter what format i write it in... i'm still a learner with arrays
This sounds so simple, but its to save me doing things like this:
Code: var Lol:Array = new Array(); Lol["Rofl"] = 0;
_root.Lol_Rofl = Lol["Rofl"]; Just to get the array value to display in a dynamic textfield, is there any other more efficient way so that I do not need to declare a seperate variable with the value of the array data to get it to display?
I've created a custom format for a TextField text as below:
Code: var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); var _font:Font = new VerdanaPlain(); _format.font = _font.fontName; _format.size = 12;
and then I've applied it to a TextField like so:
Code: var _text:TextField = new TextField(); _text.setTextFormat(_format); _text.text = "Here is some text";
and for some strange reason, the format does not seem to have any effect on the text in the text field. It still shows using default settings. And yes I have exported the font for linkage.
