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

Nov 29, 2009

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 :: Loading External Text That's Not A Variable

Dec 23, 2004

I'm working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Undefined Variable Loading External Text

Feb 8, 2005

Trying to augment the Kirupa tutorial "ActionScript Text Animation" [URL] to take an external text file. When I switch out the line:
text = "There is only one..."
with:
myLoadVar = new LoadVars ();
myLoadVar.load("davetextdoc.txt")
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){
if (success == true) {
output.variable = "text"
output.text=myLoadVar.text;
}}
I get the word "undefined" repeatedly loading itself. The text file is properly formatted (text=dave's text here...) I've tried untold permutations to self-solve.

Flash :: Display Traditional Chinese Text In A SWF With The Text Populated From XML

Feb 24, 2011

I know this is similar to an already asked question, but I would love to get some more detailed help on how the outcome was achieved. I have a website with SWF animations of automotive systems. Each animation has labels naming the parts, action buttons to show failures, and links to other animations. The text for each label is dynamic, with the label being pulled from an XML file. We allow the user the option of changing the language, and currently have successfully used English/French/Spanish (all left to right) and Hebrew (right to left).

We are trying to add Traditional Chinese for a user in Taiwan, and are having difficulty getting the characters to display. We can make it work if we embed the font file into the SWF, but the file size increases to a point that it is not practical to do. I want to use the "Device Font" option, so that we can enter the Chinese text into our XML file, and then the SWF will use the font file from the end users computer to display the characters, but if I change the text property to "Device Font" it makes all the label text in the boxes disappear, no matter what language I select. If I leave the box set to "Anti-alias", the other languages display correctly.

The XML file contains this for the Chinese language label:

and this for the English Language label: The encoding of the XML file is UTF-8.

Is there something I am forgetting to do?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load New Text Into A Dynamic Text Box Already Populated By A Xml File?

Jan 13, 2010

I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.

I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.

1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.

Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];

[Code].....

What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.

What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text - Text Gets Cut Off?

Apr 29, 2009

I'm loading some external text dynamically. Before I've always added the text to a textbox which is already on the stage. Now I'm adding the textbox with actionscript too but it's cutting off the exterally loading text at the height of the textbox (I know this because I am scrolling the text). There must be some property of the textbox which I haven't setwhat it is?Btw, I don't want to just change the height of the textbox as I am loading in many different texts of different lengths and this is affecting the scrolling.

Just as the title says. Specifically Im trying to make good use of some error messages by populating them to a TextField.What I've done is to collect all the error messages in an array. I've been working on this for the better part of a day but I can't seem to get it to post as I'd like it. Im seeing the results but each result is in its own TextField.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Text Into Externally Loaded Swf?

Jan 15, 2009

when I press a button, the text loads into the still visible imageArea_mc text area.When a button is clicked, I have external swfs which contain 2 dynamic text boxes, named heading_txt and content_txt, loading into my main movie. They are receiving their data dynamically from an XML file. The problem I am having is that as soon as the button is clicked, the new data loads into the still visible text boxes. What I want to do (I think) is somehow tell the main movie to assign the appropriate text for each individual movie.

ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
myXML.onLoad=function(ok){

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Text Inside A Loaded SWF?

Jan 25, 2004

I have my MAIN FLASH WEBSITE that loads a PROFILE section which is a separate SWF file.Inside the profile.swf, I have the sub nav button 'experience' dynamically pulling a text file into my text box.If you view the 'profile.swf' file alone, the text is being pulled fine.However, If you view the MAIN FLASH WEBSITE, choose 'Profile' link, then 'Experience' Link. The text box DOES load the text, but you can't SEE it. You can tell it is loading the text files because the scroll bar becomes active, and I can cut and paste the invisible text into my notepad program.Why is my text invisible?Here is my Sub navigation code for the 'experience' button located on 'profile.swf':
