ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Dynamic Textbox Once Masked
Aug 23, 2009
I'm having trouble displaying a dynamic textbox once I apply a masking layer over it.Basically, i'm running the following code on the textbox:txt1. text = "" + myXML.quote[MovieClip(this.root).counter]This is stored in a layer on the timeline called "txt". It runs fine, displays the text without an issue.What I want to do is mask this layer though, and for some reason, once I mask it partially, nothing at all will display in the text box.Can I refer to the textbox differently than txt1.text, so that the code will still find it and fill it fine?

What I'm after is either loading an asp page with variables or connecting to an SQL database in order to pull out some values to display in a flash movie. When we have is a daily food menu, which I want to display in flash using a dynamic text box. Looking around on the internet, I believe that I can either pull it from the SQL database, or load an ASP page and pull the variables from there.

I have a basic flash file with a button, when you hover over it, an object with dynamic text appears. Now I want text from an XML file to be pulled from it into my dynamic text box. This is what my code in my actionScript looks like so far...
Code:
function DisplayInfo(){
var title = items[i].firstChild;
var items = channel_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
box.text1.text = title.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
menu_md._visible = false;
box._visible = true;
[Code] .....

I made a movie clip to show instructions for a study people will participate in. I wanted to make it look nice so it has a lot of movement and fades and stuff. This required the use of more nested movie clips than i probably need. However, now when I want to attach a string var to a text box in the movie clip, it doesn't show whencompiled.Code:instructions_mc_m.large_instuctions_mc.large_instructions_tb_container.large_instructions_tb.text=matchedInstrThere are no errors, so I'm assuming the path is correct (and i dbl checked it anyway)

I followed this tutorial (url...) in order to load text from an external file and apply css styles to it. BUT my problem is that the text is under a mask. Embedding the font results in an empty text box, not embedding a font results in the same thing.

I've been working with Flash for over 3 years, but I can't figure this one out. I've got a body of text, half of which are bulleted points designated by <li></li>. It's loaded into a html-ised dynamic textbox.
[Code]....
It displays fine as is. However, if I make the box selectable, and select any part of the bulleted list, the ENTIRE body of text turns into a giant bulleted list, including the non-bulleted portion at the beginning. I've managed to replicate this bug with Flash 8 and CS3, using a variety of flas made from scratch.

I have a sort of login, where you enter four digits, if correct you go to another frame. If incorrect you'll have an mc displayed. Easy stuff. Now I have a keypad where you punch the numbers in, and they display inside a dynamic textbox. I have a clearkey mc that I'd like to have operational. My initial thoughts were to use atm.textfield.text == "" that way it'd clear it. Nope, no luck. Any ideas on how to reset a dynamic textbox to blank?

For my problem, i using 5 random generated number and display it in a dynamic textbox, then i computed the 5 number using a formula and put the result in another dynamic textbox (name it as text_string). Then i create a button that function as to read the value in the text_string text box, for example, if the number is 5 then gotosomewhere, else terminated. Therefore, no matter what the result is the flash still terminated, it seems that the button unable to read the value in the text_string text box.
This is my code:
var newNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2);
var newNumber2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2);

I am trying to load data from an XML file to a dynamic textbox but only on a certain condition. I have tried both switch cases and if statements but they do not seem to work. When I play my SWF file WITHOUT using an if statement or switch case and just use:
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("filmTimes.xml");
my_xml.onLoad = my_function;
[code]....
everything works fine. But when I place an if statement around it (if (day.text == "Sunday") ) then nothing happens at all and no syntax errors occurr either.

OK, I have my php and MySQL working fine. I'm pulling the data. I found how to format the data that is returned in the php as XML. My problem is I can't get my Flash textbox to load the variable from the php file. Like most things, this is probably very easy if you know how.My flash dynamic textbox is given the variable name topTeacher. From what I understand, I don't need to worry about an instance name.My php file looks like this:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die('Could not connect to server');

Right now I'm us Flash CS4 and creating a flash program in AS3. After a certain frame the dynamic text boxes that I have set up refuse to display text when required. I've gone over every line of code and every possible set up and I can't understand why it will not work. I've made sure all the dynamic text boxes have the instance names properly in place naming them all "talkBox". I've made sure all the code is written properly talkBox.text = "Insert Text Here!" There should be absolutely no reason in the world why the dynamic text boxes shouldn't be working.

My goal is making a navigation section that is a scrollable box. I thought the easiest solution was to make a dynamic text box and put a scroll bar on it. Worked until it came time to make the links. It is only letting me make one link for all the text. Also I think I want more control for the mouseover look.

I'm using Flash CS5, and dcepending on what the user does, I'm changing the font in a dynamic text box using
gFormula = "Na<font face='GG Superscript Sans'>+</font>"
txt_Names.htmlText = gFormula
The correct font appears on the computer where the font is installed but not on other computers, so I assume that it is a font embedding problem. I have embedded the font.

I have four input text boxes that I want a user to enter numbers. I have their instance names provided on the textbox itself, but nothing declared in the AS. I have one total box as a dynamic, with the name totalbox. If i wanted to have the total box display the sum of all numbers from the input boxes, how would one go about this. I've seem formulas around, just not sure how to get the numbers to actually show up in the dynamic total box.

ok in theory this sounds brutally easy. Just can't make it fire. On my stage I have an atm movieclip called "atm". In it I have 8 buttons l1-l4 and r1-r4. I add and remove functions based upon what is on the screen. So on the third screen I want when I hit l1 for a dynamic text box to display "20". So my thought is, place the dynamic textbox where I need it, create the instance name, and where it needs to come up use this line of code:
cashdispense.text == "20";
well the box remains blank. I've posted all my code if it makes things easier to understand.

This should be really simple, but for some reason Flash just isn't operating as I expected.I'm trying to make a keypad for a game, whereby the player must type in the correct number sequence to progress. The player will click the number buttons with the mouse and the numbers will be put into an array, which will then be checked with a confirm button.I have set up the array as follows on the main timeline (it needs to be empty until user presses a number button):
ActionScript Code:
keypadnumbers = [];
Each number button then contains a variant of the following code (numbers differ):

I am trying to load an external swf from a dynamic scrolling textbox?I manage to only to get it to work by loading it as an .html page, but I want it to load in the main page. I tried _parent, _self, and _top I see no difference in using any of them. All of them are making the swf load into a blank html page.
I am using the render as html option. Any ideas on how to make a pop-up window from a dynamic scrolling textbox?

I am trying to use a dynamic text box with HTML tags (<b><i><u>). I've tried loads of methods without success:
1. 3 dynamic textboxes placed on the stage with each font variant (bold,italic,regular), with embedding enabled for each. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
2. 3 font symbols with linkage enabled in the library. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
The font is not a system font btw. I have tried point 1 with Verdana and it worked. So is it an issue with a non system font with HTMl tags?

I'm inserting text in a dynamic textbox by using variables. BUT I need a centered link. I know how to use the <p align="center"> and the <a href="asfunction:link"> stuff (I am using asfunction.)
The problem is that the link mouse cursor starts from the beginning of the text line even though there is no text from left to right (because it is centered).
