ActionScript 3.0 :: Pulls An XML Feed From A Site - Display A Number In A Dynamic Text Box
May 19, 2011
I have an AS3 file that pulls an XML feed from a site. All the file does is display a number in a dynamic text box. On my desktop it works fine the feed is parsed in the output window and in the dynamic text box, joy! I upload the file to the CMS we are using and, no joy all I get is 'Loading' in the window. I get Loading because I input that in the tf so it wouldn't be blank.
So the question is, is there a fundamental flaw in my code or is it more likely to be the CMS? Im hoping it is the code, otherwise it is back to the drawing board.

What I got.
[Code]...
I apparently can't pass the score to the textBox.
1. How do I convert the variable to a string?
2. How do I update the textBox? I thought I saw some special method somewhere but I'm not sure where.
3. What is the best way of updating the 'score' variable.

I'm loading a variable from a .txt file into flash (per client request).The variable is as follows &ClientNumberOf=4 so the variable = 4, this works on trace, happy, joy When I try and add the variable to my for loop..[code]I've tried a slew of different options...(for example)var newVariable: Number = ClientNumberOf; Nothing works, again, trace works, but script fails to work when I try and dynamically set the loop?!

I'm trying to get a slider to display a number in a Dynamic text field as it is dragged. I think this is the only time I can say it would be easier in AS3!
Sooo, I made the slider and the code to move it, but I cant get the number to pass into it. My trace command fires but I get some static numbers in the text box. I'm just so confused, is it my var, or the math operator, or just syntax?
code as I screwed it up ....
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, 0, 0, 200, 0);
var xmin : Number = min(0);

I have a result screen that shows bonus points and such. I want each text field to increment one after another and also have it increment by a certain amount each frame. Result Screen pops up. First is the player score check the player score, is it more than the score we want to display if the player score is greater than the player display score by 100 increase the player display score by 100 if the player score is greater than the player display score by 10 increase the player display score by 10 else increase the player display score by 1 when finished move to the next score...and so on. I have thought of using timers to move from one score to the next, but not being in an Event.ENTER_FRAME it only does one if then moves to the next one.
Also the if statement for incrementing the score looks ridiculous and I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do it. I was thinking of making it a separate function but then I wouldn't know what to return, or how to return it so it looks like its increasing and not just showing the total number instantly. I'll try to expand on it a little more.

I am currently trying to pull RSS data into a project for my first time and am trying to get 3 (potentially 4) boxes filled with rss data that will be updated. So far, I am going with Actionscript 3. So far I have the code below, but it puts data in a listbox. What is the easiest way to put the data in three dynamic text boxes inside a movie clip, so I have one for the title, one for description and one for link (shown as 'read more' text but a link using the url from the rss value)?I am really banging my head against the wall on this one and want to get it sorted asap,I have also attached an image to show what I am trying to do:I also want to know if it's possible to show rss values only if they exist. For example, my xml feed currently only has 3 items that change, and i will be assigning these to boxes, but is it possible to display a fourth if it exists, and if it doesn't it just shows the first?[code]

i have a dynamic text field on the stage with the instance name of "inputBox". On the same frame i have the following code...
ActionScript Code:

the above code works perfectly and it does trace back the result. However I'm confused on how i can put the result in the dynamic text field i have on stage. Can i use the instance name to do this...

I'm having trouble passing a number from an input text box to a dynamic text box after a button is clicked.
In timeline I have two frames labeled: 1) inf, which starts with an input text box and a button, and 2) closing, which receives data from inf section.
INF SECTION has an input text box (age_txt) and a button (inf_bt).
var userAge:Number;age_txt.text;
inf_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPg1);
function gotoPg1 (evt:MouseEvent): void{age_txt.text=String(userAge);// user

I have a dynamic text box on the _root level of my movie that loads an external text file. When I test it in Flash (MX2004) locally the text shows up just fine. But when I upload it to the site it doesn't show at all. I'm exporting as Flash 6. I just want to display as html text and not embed font (if possible). Also, there are no masks on the _root level.
Here is the code to load the text:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("/text/about.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

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:

I have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

I have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
my_Input_Txt.onChanged = function() {
my_Dyn_Txt1.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt2.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt3.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
};

I have one input box in which you enter a number. That number must be sum plus 5 and the result should appear in a dynamic text box when you press a button.To change the "number" text string you entered in the input box to a real number that Flash understand as a NUMBER I placed "parseInt" and "Number" before the name of my instance objects. This is the action of the button:
Actionscript Code:
enter_btn.onRelease = function(){number_output= parseInt(Number (number_input)[code]....
The problem is that the only result I get is NaN (Not a Number). I have realize (thru traces) that the input number is read as:
Actionscript Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Myriad Pro" SIZE="18" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">5</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
And that is why Flash tells me that the input number is a NaN in the dynamic text box (As I suppose).

I'm writing a scrolling shooter game and have a dynamic text field that holds the game score. Running inside an ENTER_FRAME event listener, it updates every frame. By tracing the variable "score" I get the correct numbers showing up in the output tab, but on screen, I only see the number 2. It doesn't matter what position in the number it is (ie: 20, or 10372, or 521), only that digit will show up. If there is no number 2 in the score, the field only shows the word "Score: "
The variable is declared as such:
var score:int = 0;
The text field is called scoreCard and is set to "Classic Text" and Dynamic Text" and it is 638 pixles wide (almost the entire width of the stage).
Here is the code for updating the scoreCard:
scoreCard.text = 'Score: ' + score;
trace(score);
The trace was simply put in to see if the score was being tallied up correctly, which it is.
I have also tried eliminating 'Score: ' and simply used:
scoreCard.text = score.toString();
and gotten the same results.

I'm using AS3 and trying to place the number value read from an SO into 2 dynamic text boxes. I'm using a couple of test numbers (2.25 and 1.25). Oddly when I run the following script, I am having difficulty getting my test numbers to appear in the 2 text boxes (T1, T2). (Before the numbers stopped displaying altogether, they were rounding up and seemed to be 10x greater than they actually are, without my doing anything like this.) Note: The script also displays text boxes (T3, T4, T5 and T6) with messages like "above average" based on the scores-not sure if these displays are correct, since I can't view the 2 numbers that the displays are based on.Here's the code. I must be doing something wrong:
Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("G1", "/"); // using "/" as a local path should work to pick up the
