Dec 7, 2010
I have problem with loading data from xml into a three text fields using "for" loop.I don't know how to create dynamic instance names for txt fields.There are 3 different txt fields on the stage with instance names: text1, text2, text3 and i want to load three nods from xml into these.I wrote some code for do that but it don't work properly.here's the AS code:
PHP Code:
var xml:XML;var xmlList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();xmlLoader.load(newURLRequest("data/data.xml"));xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

the code above outputs exactly what i need it to do to the specific dynamic text fields i've assigned, but i was hoping that there is a way to put this in a FOR loop? this code below works in the output panel
Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<sC.length(); i++) {
trace(sF.text()[i]);
trace(sC.text()[i]);
}
but i can't get it to work with multiple text fields,

i have a loop calling in the length from a xml file, how can i duplicate the text field, since this function does not exist?
for (var j:Number = 0; j<=section[0].nTitle.length; j++) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mNav",this.getNextHighe stDepth());
mNav.createTextField("tSub",this.getNextHighestDep th(),100,100,100,20);//places it at x:0 y:0 size 100x20 pixels

I've got an xml file that is providing text to the swf. The flash file is supposed to go through the xml file and each time it reads a node it is supposed to create a text field on the stage with the text from the XML file. Then it is supposed to animate along the y axis for a short time, pause for a few seconds, and then continue animating along the y axis. (like a news ticker on a News Channel). Anyways, I've got the FLA reading the XML file fine and it even creates a text field populated with the text. But I can't get the text fields to animate inside the loop.[code]I can get the first text to animate. But I don't understand why the "i and j" version doesn't.

this is should be pretty simple but I have had a lot of trouble figuring this out..
I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)
I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.
I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.
I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..

When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.

just trace out the data within the "item tag" below. I can trace out the three at the top but can't get into the items. Having it nested like this is giving me problems. I would really like it to loop through the items and display each in a single text field.

I have an xml feed generated from our CMS. It sends lot availability to a flash map. The map has some buttons that will change color based on availability. There is also a tooltip that I would like to display 2 more fields that the xml is sending....price and model number. I am not sure how to get this to work when one rolls over each individual lot button.This is the actionscript in each of the 4 neighborhood frames:var _xml:XML = new XML(); _xml.ignoreWhite = true;_xml.onLoad = myLoad;var child = _xml;
function myLoad(ok){if (ok == true) {// for each node in the xml filevar index =0;
while (index < _xml.firstChild.childNodes.length){//var objecttitle = _xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[index].childNodes[0].childnodes[0].node Value;var objecttitle = [code]....
What do I have to do to get the price and model name into the dynamic text fields in the tooltip whenever one rolls over that unique button.

I have an external text file I use to load captions for my slideshow I'm using to present images in my portfolio I'm making for my senior seminar class. I want it to open up a url to show an expanded image of the thumbnail I added. In my external text field I have three things: &caption1=Problem: Create a photo with things that typically don't go together &credit1=Solution: Taking photos and using Photoshop to create a unique photo &software1=Software: Photoshop CS3 I thought if I added a 4th dynamic text field (url_txt) and used &url1= for each cite it would load. I even made the field render text as HTML but it doesn't work

So I'm working with flash CS3 and AS2. I added a Loader component and a
var imagetext:String = "http://www.digitaldesktopwallpaper.com/wallpapers/unknown/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024.jpg";
And a button that
on(press) {
_root.imgloader.contentPath = _root.imagetext;
}
It all works well and stuff, but when I turned "imagetext" into an input text field, it gives me an error message
Error opening URL 'http://www.digitaldesktopwallpaper.com/wallpapers/unknown/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024.jpg<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="DokChampa" SIZE="21" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">a</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>'
how do I define that input text as a string text on the press of the button and replace the original content with the new one?

Its a simple matter of loading text from a text file named "data" into a dynamic field. The code in the frame itself is
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
name.text = this.name;
};
The thing is that the SWF file I load the text into (called "RASHI.swf"). I loaded into another SWF file called "index.swf". My site is based on this tutorial [URL]. When I run "RASHI.swf" on my PC everything is fine and the text is loaded but when I run "index.swf" (again, on my PC, not the web) it says "Undefined".

I have a variable that changes according to the position of a slider. I would like to display the numerical value of this variable inside a dynamic text field (created on the stage during authoring).I tried many approaches, but the one I was sure would work didn't. I referenced the "text" value of the dynamic text field from the frame in which the variable was instantiated and used. This did not work, so I am not sure what to do.[code]

I have tried and had success loading an img into a dynamic textField at run time. But sometimes it takes littile long to load img and gives me an impression that image is not getting loaded.
My textFields html, multiline, autoSize, wordWrap properties are set to TRUE. But still sometimes i dont get my image loaded in to the textField.
Is there anyway i can handle this? Or Is there any way i can trace this issue? My images are also having size of max 7kb.

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
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.

I want to load text into a dynamic text field (called 'about_tab') using a class depending on the language selected (by clicking on a flag icon) by the user.
I managed to get this to work when the ActionScript was written directly in the timeline, but am having problems with doing the same thing via a class.
This is my class file:
*******
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
When I run it, it returns my trace statements that the class ChangeLang and the function xmlLoaded are running, but no text appears in the dynamic text field (I should/want to see the word 'About'). I get this error message:
1120: Access of undefined property about_tab

I'm creating a searchable database in Flash where all the content loads dynamically from external sources. the main interface is columns of buttons where clicking in the first column sends the user to a named frame with a second column of buttons, then onto the third column then the final content is loaded into a new movie clip. The interface uses just one button(a movie clip) and the columns of buttons are created with a duplicateMovieClip function. that part works fine. However I can't get the button labels to load from an external text file even though I'm using the explicit button names, and I can't get the buttons to react to clicks even though they're "hot", i.e., the cursor changes when I mouse over them. the button behaviors use the dynamic button names.
Here's my code:
//creates a load Variables object
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("text/patent01NumbersText.txt");
//this makes a column of duplicate button movie clips
for (i=0;i<13;i++){

Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how?

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'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

I have a simple Google Maps API with external data loaded from XML file (location, lat, long, info etc.). I also have a custom marker as a MovieClip (marker_mc), which works fine, but I want to add a Dynamic Text Field (label_txt) to this MovieClip and load a simple data (<label>) to it from same XML file (distribubtion.xml), so as a result every location would have it's own label on the marker.I know how flash loads XML data, but what I don't know is how to include that in Google Maps API (if it's even possible).
Here's the code:
Code:
// Import
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.LatLngBounds;
import com.google.maps.Map;

I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
