Actionscript 3.0 :: Creating Links From Plain Text?
Jul 30, 2009
I've been playing with an xml feed for a semi-useful class (which I'll post when it's done)....but I've run into a small problem.The XML feed doesn't send me HTML content, it only sends text. So a node that should read.Url...So I need to work out some way of recreating these links from a text only feed. Before I give myself a headache and attempt to create a class that searches each line of text for "http://" and then searches for the next space in the text, does anyone know if this has already been done? Is there a class out there that can look at normal text and convert bits that are web addresses into links? If not, can anyone think of a more efficient way to do it than searching the text for "http://" and then looking for the next space?

is it possible to create a plain text file with AS3 or AIR?
example: i would like to create a plain text file named "MyTextFile.txt", have it contain text that reads "This is my text file." and save it to my desktop.
another option would be to have the file already exist in a directory, so i would only have to rewrite its contents - assuming that would be easier.
all of which should happen as a background process, without any save dialoge panel appearing.

I would like to embed a css file using
[Embed(source = 'mystyle.css', mimeType = 'text/css')]
private var _css:Class;
but 'text/css' is not a supported transcoder. Is there a list of transcoders that someone can point me to? I really just need it to read plain text but 'text/plain' is not available either.

I was wondering what the best practice was for creating text links in flash? I know how to create a button of course, give it an up, over and hit state. What I normally do is copy the text into each frame, and change the colour for each so that the user can tell when they're hovering and hitting the button. For the hit status, I draw a square for the hit.
But this can be time consuming if you have a lot of text links throughout your site. Especially if you want to change the text colour of your over and hit frames.
So I looked into making a better solution using Actionscript, which was having a function for each of the status, where you change the colour of the button.
I was wondering if anyone else had any other thoughts or wanted to share how they do their text links?

I have a flex (flash builder 4) application with a rich text editor control. I am storing this rich text output in a database via zend amf <--> php.
Now I want to display the first part of that text in a data grid. To do so it seems it might be easiest to get the plain text version.
I am hoping I can somehow convert it to plain text in PHP before I pass it back to flex?

I am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.
I have a TextField component that has some text added during the movie. This textfield has html set to true. The text that I am passing to it has html tags.
I want to copy the plain text that is displayed during the movie from the textfield to the clipboard without the html tags.

When I try to load text from XML into a text field any leading line breaks or spaces are ignored. For example:
Code:
<text> some text</text>
The preceding loads into the text field without the leading spaces before "some text". How can I force the spaces to appear?

I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.

I have a very simple flash program code in AS3, inside this program there is a dynamic textfield html capable. Also i have a database were i will put some information.Each element in the database can be linked to other. For example, this database will contain tourist spots, and they can be related with others in the same database.This interesting spot is near <link to="ramdo2">ramdom place2</link>. And so, so so..The information in the database is retrived by the flash application and it shows the text on the dynamic textfield. I need somehow to tell my flash application that have to be a link to other part of the database, so when the user click the link a function in flash call this new data.The database is a simple Mysql server, and the data is not yet in there, waiting for your suggestions of how to format it and develop the solution.Im a php developer too, so i can make a gateway in PHP to read the MySQL and then retrive some format to flash, an XML for example.

I am trying to generate a list of links via xml using as3. I have created a movie linkHolder and a text field called linkText.
I then add link text to linkHolder and add linkHolder to the stage. I have an eventListener attached to linkHOlder which calls a function and when I roll over the links it activates the function correctly.
How do I give a unique id or reference to each button so that I can pull up the correct link associated with it?
Here's some of my code:
Code:
function createVideoLinks():void{
for (var i:int=0; i<externalXML.videoClip.length();i++){
//build the arrays of link text and link destination
vidText[i]=externalXML.videoClip.vTitle[i];

I have to make a list every document linked in a multiple .fla files. I can pull them up doing a find for .pdf but I can't figure out how to copy the links from the results field. Each file links to 1000+ pdfs, so i'd like to avoid doing this one at a time. Is there a way to export the results of the find function to a .xml or .txt file?

and i was just wondering what kind of function would I need to make each one of the images clickable AND go to separate url's. I figured out that I would NEED a function and a separate array that would link up the URL's to the Images but I don't know how to really make the images clickable in the first place.

Using AS3, how can I attach links to outbound websites? I have a button graphic dragged onto the timeline. It is meant to function much like a "hot spot". So, I would like to attach the script to the button so that it will link to another website when clicked upon. But where do I add the script in AS3, and what is that script to be? ~ For example, do I need to go into edit mode where I see the 4 states, or can I simply attach it to the main timeline? - I'm looking to do whatever's the simplest!
Also, the button is called myButton in my library...can I use that same button for everywhere I want to add an outbound link to different websites, or am I going to have to change the name for every different link? For example, myButton02, myButton03? I'm hoping to use the same graphic button, and hoping the timeline will understand and follow the script instead of being confused and all links wind up going to the same site.

I've been given a bunch of .swf (about 100) that I need to link together. Rather than doing it manually, old-school style, I decided to write a document class that will sort the content, animate transitions and create links automatically. The basic idea is that all content on the stage conforms to a naming convention whereby all buttons are prefixed with "btn_" + nameofswf.swf - the code recognises this and adds event listeners. The background image is simply called "background". I might add some further functionality later for rollovers, depending on what I need. As a frame script, the code works perfectly - it's when I converted into a class the fun begins.
The code:
package hair {
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;

I was wondering how do I make a link to a new page from a page that has already been played onto the stage. The pages are made from movie clips, and the buttons are also movieclips. So for example, I click on about us from the menu bar, and the page animates on, and within that page is another link to go to another page. I just cannot get it to work. All the pages that I have are made from movie clips.
