ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Field Starts An Animation On Stage?
Nov 3, 2011
So what am i trying to do is when text in textfield is lets say 95 it starts an animation that is in library.dont know how to startby the way text in the text field decrases by 1.so when it gets to 95 it starts the animation
I have an 2 animations that I need to syncronize. The first animation is a projector screen entering stage, the second is few text layers and images. I timed the second animation 2.2 sec after the screen animation starts (using timer event) and it worked. When I tested it in other computers and on the internet the screen movment was much slower so the second animation entered the stage too fast.
I want to order the second animation to enter only when the projector screen reach it's destination on stage. The screen animations has 2 parts, in animation and out animation connected by a stop(); commend in the middle.
i have several instances of the same class on stage every time i change the text in the text field of one of the instances, they all change i would like to have different text in each instance?
I have a class called ActivityInfo that will be Instantiated by another class that is not a document class. All I want this class to do is display the value of the _activityDescription variable into the text field I have sitting on the stage, named info_txt.here is my class at is currently sits.
I have a simple form I created in flash and I set it up so you can tab from one field to the next. The problem is when I tab to one of the fields, a multiline textbox, it starts on the second line of that field. If I click on the textfield it goes to the 1st line.
I am loading multiple external swfs in the stage with preloader.So on the stage I have a dynamic text field-(for showing the progress) and some MovieClips which will load different swfs.These MovieClips are attached with a class.But I am unable to reffer the dynamic TextField from that class. how to put text in the dynamic textfield from this class.
I just noticed that when you place a text field on the stage using code:
Code: var texter:TextField = new TextField(); texter.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Impact", 68, 0xffffff); texter.text = "890";
[code]....
It does not look the same as a text field that I placed on the stage in the Flash editer. The text created by code has very harsh edges, but the other text has smooth edges. How can I get my code TextField to look like the editor Text Field?
I've managed to put a text field onto the stage using AS2 but now I'm trying to make it stay in the center of the stage. Here's the code I used;
Code: this.createTextField("dynamic_txt",1,(Stage.width/2),(Stage.height/2),1,1); dynamic_txt.text = "This is just a test to see if this works."; var textstyle:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); textstyle.size = 18;
Basically, I'm designing a site for 800x600 and almost all of my stages are 800x600, but because of an abundance of text, I streched one stage to 800x1365.
I realize I could just put the text in a text field that would fit in the original 600 but I'd rather not to avoid the weird look when viewed on a computer with a bigger screen resolution.
How can I add a regular browser scroll bar to my SWF that will remain on the edge of the screen regardless of resolution and scroll down the entire stage?
I want to have it so that when text is entered into an input text field, the cursor advances automatically to the next text field. The text fields are nameed box1, box2 and so on, and are custom classes called Box. So far I have:
[Code]....
How do I get from a string variable to the stage.focus?
I am trying to duplicate a text field. First I get the text with a mc.getChildAt(0) and then copy all the contents into a new textfield. The problem I am having is that getChildAt removes the textfield from the movieclip it is in. How to I get the properties of the textfield without moving it? Or maybe it is something else and what I am doing is fine
var dupeTField:MovieClip = duplicateTextField($value.sourceImg.getChildAt(0)); private function duplicateTextField($textField):MovieClip {
I was wondering if there is a way to auto resize the swf to fit a dynamic text field. I am doing a site and have text coming in from XML. some of the pages have a couple paragraphs where as some are much longer so when it is published the pages that have more text gets cut off.
I was wondering if anyone knew how I would go about making the following animation (just an example) start after the mouse has been inactive for, say, 20secs.
I have been looking around for a long time to find a way to create a dynamic text field added to stage using as3 that is arched.I have seen this done in other sites but have had a hard time figuring out. Does anyone know of a component other than Text2Curve that is available? Has anyone already written something that arches a textfield that they would share?Arched text in flash seems to be impossible.
How would I code this so that when entering a number 1-10 in the text field the MC on the stage will go to that frame? Ie if I enter a 9 the MC playhead will gotoandstop on frame 9. I have attached a .zip file to illustrate
I am using a gallery written in AS3.0 called SlicedCubeGallery. It used Flex to publish the gallery.I can edit the functions for the SlicedCubeGallery, and the one I am targeting is the one that swaps the images (which I have running on a timer).I am loading the whole gallery SWF onto my stage using this code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("slicedCubeGallery.swf"); cubeGallery_mc.load(request); addChild(cubeGallery_mc);
I'm trying to access a text input that I've already placed on the stage (inside a movie clip) but with no luck.I've defined an instance name for this dynamic text field which is currentUserCount.I've got something like this set up in the document class actionscript file:
I'm creating a thermometer with the mercury animated as donations come in. I haven't touched flash in a long time, so be gentle. How can I change the code below so the animation is faster without increasing the framerate?
ActionScript Code: var maxMercuryHeight = 192; // Mercury height at 100% var currentDonations = 80; // Percentage of donations taken var currentHeight = (currentDonations / 100) * maxMercuryHeight;

How can I make the animation ease out so it starts fast and slows down at the end?
I am using the video component with AS3. I have an external flv which loads nicely...that's fine. Now I am looking for a way to remove a preloader animation once the video starts streaming. The preloader is just an animation without a status (percent) bar. In plain English the code would be: if flv file is streaming, fade preloader animation I am also noticing that the first frame of the video shows while it's loading...is there a way to change it so that nothing is seen until streaming? If worst comes to worst I can always make a mask.
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 installed Adobe Flash CS5.5 a couple of days back...Trying to learn a few basic tricks such as motion tween (messed up things with the bone tool though)..Well the problem is, a friend of mine made a 3D drawing in Solid Works(a modelling software). It is a sort of box, now he wants me to make a flash animation for the box which starts from a sheet of paper and folds into a box and then the camera zooms out.
Now i have no idea how to do that..jpg file can be made and imported to flash...but as it will be an imported file how can it be manipulated to achieve the final task....taking screen shots of the box at various stages of solid works can be done and then played all together in flash baut it would be very tiresome and time consuming... I dont want anyone to make it for me just guide me what tools and tutorials to look at.
I need to set a mouse-controlled scrolling animation to ease when it starts and when it stops in AS2. Here's my current onEnterFrame script. Might be a little crude, but it succeeds in starting and stopping the animation when the mouse rolls off the movie. Moves left on one side and right on the other. I just want the starting and stopping to be eased a bit.
What I'm wanting to do for my web site is do a animation on a button so that when the mouse cursor is over it a drop down list animation starts revealing more buttons. How would I go about doing this using Action script in the noobiest terms possible?
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. 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..
