ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Counter With Timer And Dynamic Text Field?
Jul 30, 2010
I'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments 3 times a second, starting from a specified value (so viewer would see 3.1, then 3.2...etc.)
Here's the code so far:
var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0
counterText.text=(String(counter));
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
[Code]....
What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.
I've been asked to make a flash countdown timer. I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them. I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. The idea is that the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.
I have a input text field and I want to create a mc of the text that is typed in and birth said mc inside of a mc_container which is on the stage.can this be done in as 2
I have been looking around for a long time to find a way to create a dynamic text field added to stage using as3 that is arched.I have seen this done in other sites but have had a hard time figuring out. Does anyone know of a component other than Text2Curve that is available? Has anyone already written something that arches a textfield that they would share?Arched text in flash seems to be impossible.
I'm using a hit counter according to this tutorial (http:url...)I'd like to have a text field with htmlText = "blablabla" + count; but honestyl i can't get it done.
I have created an organizational chart for the company I work for displaying all current employees. Each contact is shown as a button that displays a 'popup' window on rollover. All of this works perfectly. What I want is to create an option to click on each button and the individuals email address be added to a dynamic text field at the bottom of the page.
Just to clarify, I am able to have text entered into the text field on each click, however, clicking on the next button removes the previous text. I want each click to create a new entry in a list. For example: "contact1; contact2; contact3;" etc etc. The end result would be for the user to copy all text (email addresses) from the dynamic text box and paste it into their Outlook "To" section.
I have a dynamic text on the stage which gets updated (shows numbers) when some buttons are pressed.I just need to know if it is possible to show the first dynamic textfield in another dynamic textfield.Lets say the first dynamic textfield called "price" and the second one called "price2". when a button is pressed, the first dynamic textfield "price" will show a number. is it possible to show whatever is shown in the "price" in "price2" ?
I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags private function evaluateTags():void{ for (s=0; s
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

I am just learning how to use Flash AS3. I have made a very basic animation that is a circle with a slice in it that grows larger over a couple of seconds until it is about a quarter of the size of the circle. It is designed for my research subjects to watch and follow for range of motion and speed as they complete a leg exercise task. I used a basic for loop in the animation to repeat it 10 times, then a frame appears that says "Set Complete." I would like to add a repetition counter to the screen so that subjects know which rep they are on throughout the animation. I know that I have to use a dynamic text box to do this, but I don't know where to put the script so that the new counter number will appear on the screen after each loop. Here is what I have so far for script:
Action Layer first frame of loop:
var count: Number=0;
Action Layer last frame of loop: count++; if(count<=9){
I want to make a search button on my site. I have a bunch of pdf files in a specific location on my site. I want to create a search field where the end user inputs text into a field and flash locates and opens the corresponding pdf file.
What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.
I'm trying to create a dynamic textfield for a custom timer created by me. This is how:
var tid:int = 0; tid = tid+1/30;
[Code]....
The problem is, I can't get the TextFormat to work. Would a timerclass solve the problem?If so, how do I create this? I've only learned to create timers the way I showed above.
I have been trying to do a scroll counter for the past 2 hours and i had no luck. Im new to actionscript 3 flash .. anyways. I am trying to create a text field that is incremented according to time elapsed, any ideas how to do this? Also does flash actionscript 3 update? is there a function that i need to put code under? (im experienced with c# -xna).
i need to make a timer or counter?it is going to be for a project were people donate money to help kids in need, so i need to make something that looks like it is real time adding up the amount so far donated. there is no way for me to give the real amount because it would be changing so fast so we just want something that say starts out at a number and goes up by 5 cents an hour.
I've looked all over the web and everyone can teach you how to make a timer for your game or a countdown, but I can't seem to find out how to add time to an already counting timer. So here is my counter class:
That works without any issues or problems and just keeps counting upwards at a speed of 100ms, what I want to know is how to add say 30 seconds if something happens in my game, say you kill an enemy for example.
i am trying to create a timer that when it reaches to the number 10 it changes the text in a dynamic text box, i have got the timer counting but when it gets to 10 it doesnt do anything.here is my code:
Code: stop() cooltimer.text = "0"; var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,0);[code]....
I 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?
Problem: I am trying to get a very simple text resize going, for my main content area in a flash website. My aim is to get a button, that on click, increases the text size of a dynamic text field.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
I'm trying to input a dynamic text field into many dynamic movies. I use a for loop to successfully create 18 movies. I can't seem to get the text to be input dynamically however. The dynamic text field in the dynamic movies is named eventText. This code in the for loop successfully creates 18 movies:
