ActionScript 3.0 :: Textfields To Display Xml Data
May 22, 2011
I am using textfields to display xml data. I am creating a mp3 player and the textfields display the song's name, artist and album. As the code is now, the textfields display the correct information. But when another song is played. The new textfields just appear on top of the older ones. i have been unable to remove the older texfields. no matter what i try.[code]
Been butting my head against the wall on this one. Im making a news app that loads xml data and diplays the data onto 3 seperate textfields. The 3rd textfield has auto size set to true, so that the height of each instance of the attached movie is always going to be different from each other. I need to figure out how to get the height from each instance of the attached movie and use those numbers for the verticle tiling so that they dont run into each other.
heres what I got so far. Its the "duke news" box. If you scroll down in the news box, you will see that the text starts running into each other.
I have been using TextFields like this to render text for a game. I've been developing in FlashDevelop, so the SWF is compiled using the Flex compiler.
My problem is that this text is not displayed with the appropriate formatting when I view it inside the browser as opposed to a flashplayer (which looks fine). Different screen resolutions tend to vary in how they distort text in the browser.
var welcomeText:TextField = new TextField(); //formatText creates a TextFormat object, sets those values into TextFormat //then returns after doing TextField.defaultTextFormat = TextFormatObj;
I make a dynamic textfield, specify it's instance, then assign it a string or variable with AC, but often the dynamic text will not display all the text or variables. For example, I say warning.text = "Please do not enter more info than necessary."; Yet what appears onscreen, is: "lease do not enter more ino tan neesary." This happens no matter how big I make the text area, or how small I make the text, so I don't get why it's not all viewed. (Btw When I copy from the textfield I do get all the text)
I cannot get dynamic text fields to display when using a mask. Here is what I have done: Created a new Font object in Flash - Linkage: Export for Actionscript , class: Euro
Im attempting to display xml generated text in 2(or more) dynamic textfields. One textfield under the thumbnail and 2 or more textfields next to the large image that loads.Ive posted an example where I put text in the dynamic text fields just to show location and how it should work:[URL]
I keep getting undefined errors. I've made minor adjustments from the original source: [URL]I think the error might be a typo. Ive pasted the AS and you can click the link for the zip if any want to take a crack at this issue: [URL]

I'm trying to implement some dynamic classic TextFields, but I am seeing errors when the text tries to render. What I am doing is trying to implement a system that shows tolkens and a cash eguivent, I'm using the code
[Code]....
I'm thinking there is something in the TextField that is not set correctly, I tryed to set the autoSize to CENTER but that didn't fix much...
I'm learning AS3 with Flex Builder 2, and have run into all sorts of difficulties when trying to embed a font so that a group of textfields will display correctly when they are tweened. There are a number of examples posted across the web which apparently work fine for other people, but I've tried them unsuccessfully. Perhaps this is because other people are using the Flash 9 alpha and it works differently in Flex, though I don't know why that should be. For example, with this code I receive an error that says "Unable to resolve "C:WindowsFontsARIAL.TTF for transcoding" even though the file exists in that location.
This is the edit to my question. There is quite a bit of code here, but the problem area is below the second set of three line comments. I stuck the rest in just in case I'm completely wrong about where the problem is. With the "if" statement I can display fine in a run, but not in debug. If I get rid of the conditional it runs fine in debug, but not in a regular run. These errors only occur on the first run of the quiz. In either mode it runs fine fi I take a second quiz.

I have a movie in which I created several boxes with textFields inside (they are filled with some xml data). The thing is, I have to set them in place within the box, but I don't how to get rid of the space up and down the text (with a autosize true textfield). Here is an image [URL]. I would like to have the same margin top and bottom, as the the margin right and left...

I am a complete rookie in ActionScript2.0/Flash.I just started learning regarding a project. My problem is I want to display data from MySQL in a DropDown Menu in Flash. the SendAndRecieve functionality only aids us to receive any responses,right?(Please correct me If I am Wrong.
I have to make menu that will be used by cms. The problem is that the dynamic created textfields does not dosplay the cyrillic font. Now the menu is something like this: [URL] This is the menu with all the classes and some comments. If you don't want to download it... [URL] this is the class for creating textfield. In the library I got font named bab_font . The font has cyrillic gyphs in it (use Tahoma for example)
[URL] this is the class for the buttons , it is commented (it was in late night, sorry for the bad english) Everything works in english, just doesn't display letters in cyrllic (example) First friend of my suggested to make text on the stage, containg cyrillic letters, but this doesn't work.
I want to separate the data from the PHP call to Different CollectionArrays So that I can use the data for a bar-graph;
I created a static version of the bar-graph and separated the Collection array manually I don't want this done manually I need to do it dynamically. So what I am trying to understand is where to put the event-listener how to add to a collectionArray then once the collection array(s) are built. use that information to build the bar graphs...
I want to get image data from php and also display in flash. I want to know... how to read and display imagejpeg( $imgData ); from php. I am able to get php data in flash through below method...
I'm trying to deploy flash e-learning with dynamic content on a content management server. The xml will not display, no matter how many different approaches I take. So I need a method of encapsulating lots of text within Flash and referencing it from say, an actionscript window.
I seems that referecing any outside content, be it an external actionscript file or text file is out, so I'm left with the option of encapsulation.
i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:
I'm having a slight problem getting XML data to read out in dynamic text files. I'm doing a pretty small experiment here. The XML file loads fine. I just must be making some small error in how I assign the value of the text fields to the values in the XML file. Can anyone please tell me my error? I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.
In my application, I am using a BarChart to display data. However, the text in the category axis can be too long to display on the chart, so flex adjusts the font size automatically to the point that the data is either unreadable, or the text is partially visible.The length of the text varies every time new data comes in, so I can't set the gutterLeft attribute to a static value at runtime.Two things that come to my mind are:Change the gutter dynamically according to new data/Have a scroll bar on the categoryaxis so that if any text won't fit in the space, the user can scroll to see it.[code]
datagrid won't display data. Evidentally it captures the correct no. rows because the scrollbar appears. I've got an amfphp returning a resultset from a db which contains too much info and doesn't correspond with my datagrid so I'm trying to copy out whats needed to a ResultCollection (if it all looks a bit mad then it's because I'm new to this and still finding my way around).
Debug tells me there actually is data in the ResultCollection but I'm really struggling to find out why it wont display and will be really. I've searched the web for AS 3 examples of coding a datagrid - all pointers welcomed.
how do i display data dynamically? I already refered to the tutorial for displaying XML data in flash from Kirupa.com and the amound of data that i want to display varies and i want to display all of them at any given time. Currently what i am doing is adding the set amounts of text areas statically but if the amount of data exceeds that maximum amount, then i wont be able to display the rest?
Ok, so I've read up on the TextArea class in Livedocs, and i've been looking at XML explanations and their implementation into Flash for about a week. I've tried this EXACT code on another Flash document, except on the main stage instead of embedded inside of a separate movie clip, and it worked perfectly. Can anyone explain why the text won't display in the TextArea? Does it have something to do with it being inside of a movieclip and that being placed on the Main Stage? (By the way, proxy.xml is just a copy of the xml produced by my CFM proxy for easier usage, in case you were wondering.
I am using an xml file to display text in a flash file. It works fine when it?s horizontal but I need to display the text vertical, the screens that will be playing the flash will be rotated 90 degrees so that they are in portrait view. When I do this the text does not display at all.
I'm designing a website aiming to provide visual coverage of surfing locations across the UK through the use of webcam images. Each of the images themselves will be retrieved externally,with permission, from various hotels over-looking these locations.I have spoken to someone who has completed a similar project,a widget which retrieves and displays webcam images, which can be viewed here:
Is there a tutorial somewhere that tells/shows how to display an image from a db. I have my image paths in a mysql db and I am using php to display my other text fields. I just haven't been able to get my images to show. Below is the code that I am using so far. Here is my actual goal, I am trying to have a flash document the has a list in the datagrid that is connected to a mysql db. I have successfully done this. When a user clicks on a product in the datagrid it populates the details below the grid and I have done so successfully. What I now need is to show a picture of the product in the details section. I would also like to see how to show different images for different vendors, each vendor has its own image size, so if I put just one image placeholder then some of the images will be scewed. I need something that shows image in placeholder 1 if company=1, show image in placeholder 2 if company=2, etc.
I've been building an XML feed reader, here's the code I'm using:
var myXML:XML;var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myLoader.load(new [code]....
It works fine and loads the XML inside the flash authoring environment (ie when i preview with crtl+enter), or when I make an executable projector, but when I try to run the SWF by double-clicking, or when the SWF is on the webserver, the text box doesn't display the data...
I have a php file which includes an array in it.I can trace the data of the php array correctly, but how do you grab any specific child of the array? For example on xml it would be:
xml.child("child1").child("child2")[i];
And here is the php array's data.I want to display the data: info, name, number, address
I would like to create a small Adobe Air application which would extract XML data from my site and display it in my Adobe air application.I have the xml part setup, when i run the xml file, it displays the results in the browser. Now what i need is to display the same results in my adobe air application.For e.g. I have a simple form
When i submit the form, i get all the order id's from 2009-01-01 till date and it get displayed in the browser.Is there a way to run that HTML form in an adobe air application such that I enter the XML element values it should go through the admin_xml.php file and get the results.I dont want to enter the XML Skeleton again and again. I only want to able to enter the values for those elements.
