ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Variables In Textfields - Get The Message Outputted Properly
Nov 18, 2008
This may have been asked alot. but all the things i found on google led me nowhere except confusion. the code i have so far is attached, but i can't seem to get the message outputted properly. Also, the x.text needs to be replaced with the textfield, but i'd like if that could be a var too, so i can use different textfields. All my textfields are in the timeline "messageBar" on layer "Text", this timeline lies on(under?) the main timeline. if you need more information, feel free to ask.
how to display the message properly, and I am not sure if it is my for loop that is running into problems or the way I set up my message. Here is the code:
What I try to accomplish here is to have it display the "combination of the options correctly." For example, if I select 1,2 and red, I would like the output to give me
I have a couple of textfields on my stage named "turist_box_inf" and "hotell_box_inf" (a couple more to come). These are located in a mc with the instancename "former". To fill these with text in code, it would be former.turist_box_inf.text = "nice text" and so on. The thing is I want to fill these with info from an XML sheet and therefore do it through a loop. [code]...
This issue is my constant pain, and has set my project back some time. I'm creating a message system for my game, it's supposed to record events that happened during travel, 3 vars per message (topic, in game date, content)All the vars are in an external as file and a public class. The problem is they return blank in the mc's textfields while displaying correctly on the main timeline textfields at the same time. This is the code sitting inside the mc that doesn't work.
Code: import Variables; var variables:Variables = new Variables(); function setMsgSlot (e:Event) {[code]....
on the main timeline, even in the same frame, works perfectly, and i can't figure out why.
I am trying to learn ActionScript 3 and now I am trying to learn about sending actionscript data - PHP. Now to the problem: No data are sent when I use this code. I am sending the variables message and userid, that you can se in the code...
I have 3 input fields, min:sec:frame (mval,sval,fval)
when it is triggered, it works fine the first time. I clear out the variables in the script below but it doesnt work properly. It comes back as not a number (NaN)

I found a script which loads text from a TXT file. Nou the code workd fine on a button, but assoon i putt that code on a MC it doesn't load the variables properly. That meas; i don't any script errors, but the text doesn't appera in the dynamic texterea.[code]

im using PHP with MySQL to send information to my flash file using GETs.Using FlashVars i have managed to get the users 'id' with this i can send my questions/searches to a PHP script which access the database and returns the information to the html page.What i would like to do now is add the information sent back to the html page to a variable inside flash for example:
var usr_name = get_user_name(id) || 'Unknown'; // "Unknown" should just be for offline use.
but this just returns 'Unknown' this is the function used:
public function get_user_name(usr_id){ loadData('search.php',"quest=name",'usr_id='+usr_id); }[code]......
If i just type the URL into a web browser i get the name outputed.
Lets say i want to have a communication console for my game user, to communicate to them what is happeiong in terms of their game, particularly, anything that i have traced in my code? is it possible to have these traces output as dynamic text that opens up in another window, adjacent and smaller to the swf that has the game?
I'm getting the geolocation data of a viewer and creating a textfield to display this data (city,state). After the data is pulled the text is measured to fit in the textbox and if the length of the city is too long, the text is adjusted in size to fill the textfield. When I trace the end result of the final text size, I keep getting the (same) trace result outputted infinitely.
[Code]...
It worked, but I needed the text box to be made according to what data was pulled from the geolocation xml, so I added it in the geolocation script.
i am new to flash (yet i have been using it for years) by that i mean, i struggle with it a lot. i was hoping someone could help me with the "incompatible override" error message and the "duplicate function definition" message.
When I preview my flash file it says that the filesize is 29kb. However when I look at the properties of the outputted swf it's coming in a t 36kb. Which is the correct size? Also what extra information is being added to push it up by 7kb?

I want to create two textfields in flash wich will move the text simultaniously by using one scrollbar. for example. the left textfield contains text and the right textfield contains pictures. and the scrollbar is in the middle.
What I want to happen is..when you click on a button ('Bengkulu' for example), the movie should go to and stop at frame 63 , whilst the textfield (my_text) should display 'This is a delightful place in Sumatra'. However, the <Data> node's text won't display. Why?
I got two textfields on top of each other, with different sizes. When I push button_1 I want text in textfield_1 and when I push button_2 text in textfield_2.
That works but now I got links in both textfields and the the links in textfield_2 are not working because textfield_1 is on top of him. Can I swap the the arrangement ? I tried the swapDepths but this doesn't work for me Maybe I can disable textfield_1 when I pusch button_2 ??
I am working on a data provider application for class and wanted to take it a step further for usability and add tabbing for navigation, but the tabIndex code I have below does nothing. I would like to tab between the buttons and the textfields. Does tabbing work with data providers?
I should note they are all embedding the desired fonts. But when displaying my flash movie in low quality my text fields no longer appear... changing back to high quality the text fields appear fine.Is there a way to ensure the textfields will appear even at low quality? And what is the reason for them no longer rendering at low quality?
I've imported an external XML file that includes both image and text elements into a textfield, and now I want to format the elements with an external CSS.I've had only limited success. Images appear below the text, instead of inline or aligned Left or Right, Flash ignores DIV or SPAN styles, etc.I don't know if I'm overestimating flash's abilities to render styles.I've attached a zip with the fla and all external scripts, as well as an html of what I'd like the end result to look like.
I've recently been trying to rebuild a project we did at work so that we'd have a better and more flexible architecture for future projects. So far all is done, and work great, but I've been wanting to make the text we use (and we use a lot) easier to modify, so I thought having it outside my Flash/ActionScript files would do it. That way, I can change the text and have it working without having to recompile.
Unfortunatly, I've noticed that having the text in a .txt file puts random linebreaks which I really don't like, but XML severely limits what characters we can put in our text (no " < and so on, unless I'm missing something). Not to mention linebreaks would/could be a pain in an XML.
So, I'm wondering if you guys would have any ideas on how to do this, or even tips on how to do it in an XML or txt file that would work.
Basicly I'm adding dynamicaly sprites and textfields, which i populate from xml, in for loop. I'm building sort of table, so for every sprite, I'm adding new data in textfields. I've loaded xml and passed data to 2 xmllists, both traced and doing fine... Later on I add data from xmllist to array which then I'm looping in for loop.
Problem is that from 1st xmllist, 6 out of 7 textfields are visible, 1 can't be found nowhere :/ from the 2nd xmllist only 1 out of 4 are visible...
I've tried everything, tracing them returns that they are visible, on good position, filled with text, contrasted color from background...
Im trying to create loop which will creat 4 new textfields and will put text into each field. The variables are already definned. But i doens't seem to work
I want to link two textfields, so that if the first one is fille the text continues in the second textfield. The text is loaded from a xml file. One option would be to use html tags so the text wraps around the picture, but as you'll see in the attached image, the picture has a border around it, so it will be hard for the client to update it.I know flashloaded has a component, but as far as I can see it only works for columns, in the past I had found another component that did what I want, but I can't seem to find it anymore, not on the net and not in my backups.

PS: here is the part probably causing the problems..
Code: for (var i = 0; i<nTotalPics; i++) { main.createEmptyMovieClip( "container"+i, i ); var container:MovieClip = main["container"+i]; container.createEmptyMovieClip( "pic"+i, i );
[code]....
First, if I add "trace (pic._name);" inside the onLoadInit function it outputs "pic3,pic2,pic1,pic0". Why does it show up in reverse order of the for-loop?
Second, is the "pic:MovieClip" in "mclListener.onLoadInit = function(pic:MovieClip)" pointing to the "pic" in "mcl.loadClip( astrImages[i], pic );"? If not, what is it pointing to? If it is, can I add another variable after "pic" so that I can pass it inside the onLoadInit function? Ultimately what I would like to do is create a textfield under each pic.
I'm having a problem with loading some xml from an external file into my swf. I'm trying to populate various dynamic text fields with the appropriate value. Eventually this will be used to make it possible to change the language used for them, by changing the xml path.Right now, everything seems to be in place, but I am not getting the actual value into my text field.[code]
I want to display a list of purchases with their name and price. I want the price aligned right and the item aligned left. Should I try to do it in two text fields and one scrollbar? Or should I put the two text fields in a movie clip and scroll the movie clip? The text is dynamic and I don't know how long the list will be.
I have a dynamically created MovieClip that contains both graphics-drawn elements and TextFields. When I set this MC's buttonMode to true the mouse will only change over the graphics-part of the MC although I have set the selectable-attribute of the TextField to false. I also tried adding a invisible Rectangle on top, but it didn't work either
