ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text From External Source?

Nov 5, 2005

I'm using this example [URL] at the moment, using buttons to feed text into a dynamic text box. What I've done is changed it to 'on (rollOver)' when the text pops up, and what I'd like to do is have a on (rollOut) and have it load a blank.txt so the text dissapears when you move your mouse away.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text In External Swf Invisible When Loaded Into Parent?

Apr 18, 2010

My website is coming along nicely, just starting to add some content and to make it nice and easy for my client to edit their own content i thought I'd make all the text external.

Works fine in the external swf, when I publish that file alone the text shows up perfectly. But when I load this same swf into the parent movieclip (the main website) the text is invisible. I've put in a trace function and the parent MC can output what is in the dynamic box, but it's invisible in the player.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Xml Loaded Text To External Swfs Dynamic Textfield

Feb 21, 2007

i'm pulling my hair over this. i have sucessfully (verified) loaded an xml file and can trace the data i'd like to pass. i am loading the external swf into an empty mc called X. in the external swf i am loading is a mc and in there is a dynamic textfield. i give the content of the xml to the path to the dynamic textfield and nothing happens. trying to pass the variable with: target.text = content;

i listed the variables and objects in the test movie debug option (command+enter) and i can see the dynamic text box variable. then i took copied the path from the output window to my actionscript, replaced _level0 with _root but still to no avail. what am i doing wrong? do i have to publish the swf being loaded in a certain way? why am i able to look at the variables in the debug list variables and objects option, but not in the actionscript?

IDE :: Display Dynamic Text When The Instance Name Of The Text Box To Do The Displaying Is Dynamically Stored Within A Variable?

Nov 6, 2009

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Is Loaded From External Text Files And Styled With An External Css File?

It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text / Variable Used Before Populated With Loaded Text

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Rotate A Dynamic Text Box With External Text?

Feb 25, 2006

I went to a tutorial at Kirupa that featured how to update your text from outside Flash, by using a regular text file, and a dynamic text box. The actionscript code allows the dynamic text box to display anything from the text file. The code is:

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

[Code]....

I wanted to see if I could experiment with the dynamic text box by rotating it so that the text could be flush with the diagonal side of a triangle. When I rotated the dynamic text box, the text dissappeared! Also, no actions were applied directly to the dynamic text file itself.

Flash :: AS3 Embedded Font In Linked SWC / Source Blanks Out When Setting Dynamic Text Field

Jul 15, 2010

I've got a number of related projects set up in Flash Builder. Each project gets its graphical assets from an exported SWC file (or multiple SWC files.) This works fine, but I wanted to create a shared project that contains stuff used across all projects. The first item in there is a screen with a number of clips containing dynamic text fields on them. This screen (and associated assets) are exported to a SWC and then I have written code in the shared project to add functionality to the screen and buttons. I'm using 2 fonts, both are embedded.

Both show up just fine in my test harness, but when I link the shared SWC and src folder (which is required in order to use this code/assets in the other projects) the textfields blank out if I try to set their text properties. If I leave the default text (set in the FLA) it shows up, and the static text fields in the FLA also show up, it's only when I set the text property.

I've tried a number of combinations, including removing embedding, exporting for ActionScript, setting all textfields in the shared project to dynamic, all with no luck. The main project does have the same font embedded, and I've checked that the same glyphs are selected in both the main and shared projects. I realize this is a rather complicated setup, but I have yet to find a workflow to allow a designer and developer to work on large projects that is better (but I'd love to hear one!)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Classes And Dynamic Text Fields

I'm making a program so that you can plug in your birth year and get some basic information on what Chinese year you were born in (Year of the Dragon etc).I created a class, linked it to an MC and looks like it is creating everything okay but the input text is definitely buggy.I can input text at the top of the stage but not in the actual text field.I have spent a lot of time on this and am completely clueless as to what is bugging this thing out.I guess I am not declaring something properly but I've had my TA take a look at it as well and she cannot figure it out.

AS3 :: CS3 - Change Dynamic Text In Correspondence To Instance Name

Jul 14, 2009

I'm making an activity where you drag and drop text (in mc's) into a specific column. There are two columns, the left is for workplace responsibility the right side is for personal responsibility. I've made the actionscript so that I can drop multiple targets into any of the correct spaces they're supposed to go to and I want the text to appear in that particular spot.

At the moment I have dynamic text, and when the text/mc is dropped into the box I have the code (textOne.text=event.target.name) - and so the instance name shows, but since you cant have whitespace in the instance names its not formatted the way I want it.

I tried using:

Code:
if(event.target.name==teamPlayer_mc){
textOne.text = "Team Player";}

But that doesn't work..
