ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Personalized Flash Children's Book - Text Fields And Variables?
Jun 14, 2011
I'm looking for the best way to be able to have a user input their name, age, etc, and then place that data into a Flash Story book, to make it personalized. For Example:Name:_____Age:_____BOY/GIRL:____and then for example if the user decided to Enter: (Cooper, 7, Boy) the story would add those variables, so it might say:"Once upon a time, there as a 7 year old boy named Cooper, who lived in flying shoe."Ideally, I would want to be able to have the text auto format so that it looks like a seamless paragraph, no odd line breaks or spacing issues no matter how long the name they entered was, so for example if they entered "Cooper" or "Cooper William Johnson III", either way the text would still flow correctly

I wanted to make a book with flash where each page is a frame in the file. I have successfully made the next page and previous page buttons, but I was wondering how to get started on making an input field that lets users put page numbers that go to the specific page / frame.

I'm looking to send variables from text fields in an HTML source and direct them to a SWF object on the same page. The variables would be sent once the user hits a send button.

Say, i have a text field with some text in it, and i want to make it have a backgruond with alpha value (as in partially transparent, not sure how to make it sound good ^^). This text field reacts to mouse events, such as clicks and rolls out/over, and each event changes the background color.
I've done some digging and ran across flash.text.TextField.backgroundColor and flash.text.TextField.background properties of text fields. They're cool, but not enough to solve the problem. And obviously, if I change the text field's alpha value, the text will also become transparent.
I know I can create a movieclip below the text field and alter its properties to acheive my goal, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler way.

I have a form that will require the user to type in some figures (into the input text fields) which will need to be totaled up at the end.
Would it be recommended to execute this function by sending it to php and then back to flash or is there a better way to do it within flash?
Again all I want to do is get the sum of all input text variables (all having number values).

I am designing a roulette wheel type game. I am using a variable, "_global.myMoney = 0; " to keep track of the total money the player has. When I built the prototype, I used a dynamic text field on the stage with an instance name of "myMoney_text" and a variable of "_root.myMoney"
Now, I need to move this text box into a movie clip with an instance name of "winnings_mc"
When I test the movie, it looks like it showing the style sheet (font size, font, etc...) inside the dynamic text box. If I change the variable of the box to "_root.winnings_mc.myMoney" it seems to track initially, but now my updateMoney function in my main script does not work.
The function is called like this:
trace("updated money equals " + updateMoney(myMoney));
This always traces zero now, the initial value.

Is there any way (besides clicking on all the input text fields and checking) to find all variables in the timeline? I cant seem to get all of my variables loaded into php. I'm 100% sure my php script is correct. Only 3 of my variables are being sent and the others are not. I think the problem is that I have duplicate variable names and can't find the duplicate in my timeline.

What is the trick to develop an SWF that reads user input text and then displays it after submissions? Should I have the SWF read the text from an XML that receives the data? Basically, it is a greeting card and people can send a personalized message to a recipient.

I need to have an input text and various dynamic texts but i am trying to make a puzzle using a substitution cipher.
i want the end user to only have to change one of the fields which would automatically fill other matching fields rather than all of them typed manually.

I need to make or buy a template for a simple flash game for a clients website. It has to be legit to buy. It is about 5 pages long. You are asked a question, you select a radio button for the answer to the question, it compiles all your answers and gives you a result.I know flash pretty well but ccording to budget and time.it is best not to have to experiment.

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.

I created a website off of a template, and of course didn't learn the Flash MX 2004 program before I started and just intuitioned through it. Now, the site works great, but I want to edit it and can't get to any of the layers, because I'm sure I've fumbled the organization. Tried onion skinning, and timeline/tween clicking - no go. I'm sure it's the simplest thing in the world, but sometimes the obvious is the hardest thing to see.

I have a linked movieclip that contains two textfields.One of the textfields needs to have regular and bold text, so I thought I would use htmlText however it's only showing the regular font that I embedded?I made the textfield in Flash and called it "details".I also tried to make another textField in the symbol called, "invisi" and I set it not visible:invisi.visible = false;I embedded the BOLD version of the font in the invisi textfield, hoping this would make the "details" text field show the bold font...but no luck.

Could you suggest me any tutorial which teach me how can i make a "coloring book?"
I need to do this for my website and only with one shape. (so not a big book:) )
It doesn't really matter the coding language, but i need something "shading" and not "just pick a color and fill with bucket style coloring book".
So i need something "interactive". Visitor use the mouse, pick the weight of the pencil and than start "shading, coloring".

In flex 3 I have a hierarchical data structure. I would like to display the content of it in a tree. My problem is that I have nodes which data calculated from children nodes. How to structure the hierarchy to make automatic changes to those parent nodes, if their children's data changed? For example:
Every node has a warning flag. If some of the children warning flag changed to true, then the parent warning flag should change automatically set to true. A node integer field is the sum of the children integer fields, and if any of the children changes, the parent integer field "calculates" the sum immediately. Is there an easy solution wit good structuring changes happen automatically, or I have to make some custom functions?
