Actionscript 2.0 :: Putting Effects On Dyamic Text Loading From Xml?
Jun 4, 2009
i am a beginner user of flash & i think i have mentioned this in my earlier post here few days back , i have just made a little dynamic text field and loading some html text and images into it via xml CDATA node. everything is working fine i just wanted to put some animation effects on my text field while loading it through xml ...i added some motion tween in the beginning which actually moves whole text field from out side of canvas to inside at its original place with ease out . its looking fine to me but i noticed that dynamic text loads a bit late and during tweening i just see empty text field .so i was wondering how to put some simple effects on loading dynamic text
if you scroll down and then click on another entry on the calendar, the text box scrollbar stays at the position it was in, instead of scrolling up to the top whenever a new external file is loaded.
ok..i'm in the midst of extending/modifying this tutorial.... i understand the transition mc is the loading animation.... however i want to put a progress bar.

What I wanna do i s to load external pic 1 on start, after clicking on pic 1, pic 2 is loading with alpha form 0 to 100. Then after clicking pic 2 going back to pic1 also with alpha, and so back and forward.I tried 2 do as follows:
But now I need to know how to do the same thing for any dynamic value that is entered.Say I have a text box tt1 and a button b1. When I enter any value (say 6) this number of text boxes are created (6 new text boxes with names t0,t1....t5)I have another text box tt2 and a button b2. When i enter a set of values in it (say 10,66,33,45,2,4) I need these values to get displayed in those text boxes t0,t1,t2..
Over the course of four nights in April and May of 1941, Belfast was attacked by the German Luftwaffe bombers. Their aim was to destroy strategic targets in the city which were aiding the British War Effort.What I want is for users to be able to select the word 'German Luftwaffe' and then they will be brought to another frame with information on that topic.
I need to create a function with takes a text field and does two things with it.The first is to split text up into individual letters with each being a separate symbol. Basically the equivalent to breaking apart the text field, then converting each letter to symbols, then giving each letter its own unique name This is the way I'm doing it now and its very time consuming and not at all easy to update to text.The second part is to create an array containing all the instant names.For example if the text was "hello world", the function would create symbols with called n1 (containing h) , n2 (containing e) , n3 (containing l), n4 (containing l), n5 (containing o), and then the array would be [n1,n2,n3,n4,n5]
I have made a simple button using static text. On the over state I have changed the colour of the text and in the properties inspector typed in the email commanAnyway the text becomes underlined and when I test the movie and mouseover the text jumps up a little and is not smooth. Is there anyway to get rid of this underline. VERY ANNOYING.
I'm trying to build a variety of text generators that I can repurpose for different projects similar to the ones used on this site: [URL] I can get the external text into flash (via xml) but how do I go about breaking those characters apart and animating each letter in? I don't mind doing the work, I just need a few pointers in the right direction.
I got a web banner made from a person in india and I was trying to examine the fla file. In the library there are four .swf movie files and I don't think they were made in the adobe flash software as they would have taken all day to do. Is there a program out there that can quickly make cool text effects with a transparent background and then be able to import the finished txt effect into adobe flash and use in the fla file?
The banner I am relating to can be downloaded here [URL] and the text effects that I am talking about are Movie1.swf Movie2.swf Movie3.swf Movie4.swf
I'm having trouble getting any of my adobe software to produce a drop shadow without pixelating the image. I'm working with FL but I've tried PS and IL and everytime it ends up looking like an 8 bit graphic. It happens with all the preset effects. The laptop I'm using has a 4 gigs of RAM and a core duo with a 512 MB graphics card How can I set my software to produce the highest quality effects?
I am using Flash CS5 to generate an array of the notes in a midi file. Basically I store data such as time of the note, note duration, pitch, scale, volume, etc.I have 2 questions:How can I export all these data in order to use it in after effects (as a txt file? other formats?);How do I use the exported file in After Effects later on: How do I tell After Effects when to start playing a note in a specific time? how do I associate note height with a specific feature (lets say - square width) - and so on.I DO know some basic coding in after effect (how to associate elements inside After - such as volume and opacity) but I need to understand how to deal with an exported file (and in which format to generate it).
my sister asked me to do smth for her that let me scratch my head: she wants to make a signature text in a forum and wants to add sound to this signature so when her post is shown the sound will play in background together with her text signature.
I'm not sure this could be done in flash? is there a way to have some jpeg image with sound effect? or should it be a video? maybe forums restrict adding a flash doc as a signature?
Is there any way to create text effects like arc in, arc out, blend, bridge over etc as in th powerpoint, photoshop text effects in actionscript.I created arc and circle text.I need for blend and waving text effects.
I'm just starting to delve into AS, so this should be easy. I'm applying a simple alpha fade to the onEnterFrame event of a movie clip using AS, and inside that movie clip there is a dynamic text box that gets its content from an XML file. The fade works fine on everything except the text - the whole movie clip fades in, but the text just instantly "jumps into existence".
i need to write AS 2.0 code for creating text effects like those we have in ms word clipart.. i dont need it to be all that complex though. what i need is to make the text pinched.. so that if there's a word, the ends of the word are more in height but in the middle, its slim then i need to make the text seem bloated.. which is exactly the opposite of pinched. then i also need the word to appear wavy.. as if the word is riding on a wave ya know.. then, i need the word to slant backwards and forwards i also need it to have a dropshadow but i found stuff by senocular on it. so i guess i'll manage that by the filters and all.
Anyone tried TextAnim? It's brilliant for making your own text effects.I am making something real simple but cannot get it to work. I am sure just pure AS3 thinkers could probably solve this without even knowing the class.I store some lines of text in an array, and each time I click the stage - the text anim kicks into do its magic on the new line of text pushed at it.here's the code - i have an instance of myTextField already on the stage
Code: var t1:String = "This is my first line to write";var t2:String = "This is the black hole I was talking about"; var t3:String = "And now TO END WITH CAPITALS"; var txt_ary:Array = new Array(t1,t2,t3);[code].....
Just actionscript? [URL] i use tweener to animate blocks of text created dynamically but like that, on Browse effect database, take a look on Scatterbounce. just so cool! just actionscript???
I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.
in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..
I need help dynamically loading text from a server into a dynamic text box in my movie. If i use the loadVariables it works, with the Html rendering.. if i use it with loadVars it works but now the html doesn't render. What i want is to load some text from my server into the text box and have the html to render. Also, is there a way to display the progress as the text loads, for people with slower connections?
So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;
