ActionScript 3 :: Cannot Get Dynamic Text To Show Update In Flash?

Sep 16, 2011

I'm using text that is set to "dynamic text". In actionscript 3 I tried:
instancename.text = "abc";
trace(instancename.text);
Trace returns "abc" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.

In action script 2 I tried:
var1 = "abc";
instance1._text = "def";
trace(var1 + instance1._text);
Trace returns "abcdef" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Auto-update Dynamic Text Box With PHP/SQL?

Mar 19, 2010

I have a dynamic text box that I'm loading data into from a PHP file using loadVariablesNum("data.php", 0);

The PHP runs a SQL query that fetches data from MySQL. The data in the MySQL database changes frequently, and I want to update the dynamic text box with the latest info.

How do you do that? Or is it possible? I assume you use setInterval.

Currently, it only updates the field if I visit the PHP file and refresh the data. Otherwise, the dynamic text box just displays the data from the last SQL query.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Won't Update In A Menu?

Jul 3, 2010

I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through.I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips .e.'_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.The code in _root is:

_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_bu tton_text.text = "home";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_2.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our approach";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_3.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our work";

ActionScript 2.0 :: Telling Dynamic Text To Update?

Nov 3, 2009

From my main timeline actions, how can I tell a dynamic text box inside a movieclip to update? I have a movie clip with the dynamic text box called catalog. The instance name for the text box is catalogtext. On the main time line, I am using a loop to repeatedly attach the catalog movie clip. I want the dynamic text to show the value of i, and each time the movie clip is reproduced, increase by 1 each time.

Here is my current attempt:

for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {
container.attachMovie("catalog","catalog"+i+"_mc", i+200);
mycatalog_mc = container["catalog"+i+"_mc"];

[code]....

Everything works fine, but the text box won't show the value of i. I must not be calling it correctly?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Update Dynamic Text Inside Button?

Nov 13, 2003

How can I update the dynamic text content which is inside a button ?

In other words, how can you address a dynamic text inside a button ?

I want to change the text label of a button, on the fly.

Isn't there any other way to achieve this than "making" a button with movie clip instead od a "real" button ? Does that mean Buttons were not expected to have dynamic text in them ?

IDE :: Using A Dynamic Text Field To Show Html Formatted Text From .txt Files

Apr 8, 2009

I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

IDE :: Dynamic Text Doesn't Show?

Sep 7, 2009

I'm trying to make text disappear and appear letter by letter, so i'm using dynamic text. I've made this code which should do this, the only problem is that the text won't show up. I used trace to check what does the dynamic text box contains after the code has done it's job and it contains what it should. So I don't really understand where the problem is. I've embeded all the lowercase letters since I'm only using those... I don't know what else to add here... except the code offcourse:

Code:
if (_root.butonselectat<>"")
{
stop();

[Code]....

Ignore all the "ifs" they just make the code do it's job when it should. And it seems that they work correctly. The first "for" cycle removes the text letter by letter and it only works if there is some text in the dynamic textbox while the second "for" adds the text letter by letter. I have the same code on two keyframes in the first layer and the the dynamic textbox on the second layer with only one keyframe.
