View 7 RepliesI am trying to write some code which allows the user to add an object to an array each time they click on the stage. However, when they click on an object, I want that object to be removed from the array. My code so far is below but it does not work. It seems to crash when I try to add more than one object to the array.

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse_down);

How do I make some text inside my scrollable text field linked.

(Scrollable using the UI scrollbar)
Test1
Test2
Test3
I want to link Test1 to frame 1, Test2 to frame 2, etc.
Im creating a website for a client who wants to be able to update it themselves and so i'm using AS3 to create a textfield which calls text from a txt file to display and uses the UIScrollbar to scroll the area. What i'm wondering is, is it possible to load images into this same textfield so they are easily added and updated (like the text is) and so they scroll with the text as if it were all one part?

View 4 RepliesI'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.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to enter a student name into a textfield (student1_txt). I just can't seem to work out the correct syntax. The student numbers and names are in an array. I have the fields working fine outside of the movie clip but not inside.
I wonder if anyone can see what is wrong in the statement below:
_root.desk1_mc["student"+heidedata[0]+"_txt"].text = myStudents[0];
I'm really new to AS3 and could use some help. I have a movieClip with a drag and drop functionality that's working fine but then inside this movieClip is a dynamic text field and it won't let me click over the text field to start dragging and if I click off to the side I can drag but the movieClip is automatically centered and then I can't drop because now the text field is under the mouse and it keeps saying:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property stopDrag not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value. at MethodInfo-10()

This is probably easy stuff for most of you guys but have tried to have this working for the past hour and it's not working.I basicly have made my own button which is a movieclip. Inside the movieclip on the normal/roll off state i've put a dynamic textfieldwith instance name "textbtn" my button is supposed to span 2 frames on my mainstage, thought is need to say something different in each frame.
Sofar I have this inside the movieclip on Frame 1:
textbtn.text = MovieClip(parent).buttonText;
on my mainstage in frame1 I have:
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);[code].....
I've got a dynamic text field in my button object. I have named the text field "myText". How can I modify the text within it? myButton.myText.text = "test"; won't work, because it can't access myText.

View 4 RepliesI have a problem with a button.It has 4 keyframe and a text field with the same instance name "myText".I use this button in a MC, and its instance name is "myBtn".I'm trying to change myText with actionscript in the MC without any results.Debugging it I find a text field insiede this button named "instance6", so i think there is some problem with instance name.
I trying with:

and it says "undefined"!
How can i correctly give instance name to this text field?Is there any way to find out the name of the instance of an object (the text field) knowing the instance name of its parent (the button)?
You've seen those Input Text Fields on web sites that have titles on them, i.e. Name, Email, Message, in the Text field itself. Then, when you click on the the text field to type something in, the "title" disappears and you can type your info in. Perfect example: [URL] (Under "contact")

I have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.
Using php to declare a few Flashvars. No problems - they all arrive and behave. One of these populates a dynamic text field inside an MC. Simple enough stuff right? But.... when I try to test equality on that text field I get nothing. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of. The MC is called "fake2". The text field inside it has a variable name of "choice_dyna" and an instance name of "fd2".

View 5 RepliesI 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;

When I click on a field to edit, the | symbol that allows you to type new text (for example, a timeline folder's name) disappears as quickly as it appears, therefore no way to edit anything.
