Actionscript 3.0 :: External HTML File Into Dynamic Text Field?
Jun 7, 2009
I'm trying to load an external html file into a dynamic text field. The dynamic text field has html display enabled. The html file contains a list of links in <a> tags, and nothing more. The dynamic text field is called 'dynamictext', and I've tried:
Code: Select allvar externaltextload:URLLoader = new URLLoader( );
externaltextload.load(new URLRequest("text/Links.html"));
externaltext.text=externaltextload.data;
[Code].....

I have a very basic flash document, with a dynamic text field called myText, and a script to load an external html-file into that field. The script is from a tutorial somewhere, so I'm not 100% sure it's optimal, but it works. What I want to do is modify this code so that a clicking a button in this document will switch the input file from demo.html to another HTML-file, say demo2.html.
var url:String = "demo.html";
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

I've had a Flash website up and running for about a year which includes an external text file linked to a dynamic text field.
Everything worked well until I recently added content to the external text file.
Suddenly, the file won't load in flash.
If I play around and cut a line here or there, it sometimes loads. Sometimes not. Sometimes it looks like there might be a character limit. Sometimes it looks like flash might be having a problem with certain characters.
So my questions are:
1.) Does Flash have a limit on the amount of characters that can be displayed in a dynamic field.
2.) If so, can this be changed with as3?

I have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.

I'm trying to use a dynamic text field to pull in html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But the bullets dont take on the color assigned to the field. I've tried putting it in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and neither work. Can someone help me. This should be a simple fix, but I can't find it... I just want my text and bullets to both be white.
Simple code below. Using html text inside the flash document and having a dynamic field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and bullets green, but it doesn't work, only text turns green
this.txt.html = true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.color = 0x00FF00; // hex value for green
this.txt.htmlText = "<P> This is the first paragraph</P><BR><UL><LI>Bullet 1</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 2</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 3</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 4</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 5</LI></UL>";this.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);

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.

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

I currently have a dynamic text box that pulls from an external text file, but I want to spiff it up a little bit: I want the text box to include a series of links that go to another frame, and with another dynamic text box that pulls up the corresponding story.Basically, I want the main "news" page to be an updateable archive of links to the "news story" pages. This all, however, has to be in Flash, as the website I'm working on it one .swf movie. I am very inexperienced in working with CS4/Actionscript and even less experienced in HTML

I cannot seem to get a horizontal rule to appear in either html or css.Here is my as3 code. I am briniging in a RSS feed and displaying nodes in a Dynamic Text field. It is working very well but I cannot get the Horizontal Rule to work...
ActionScript Code:
var myText:String = "<p>"+firstheadtext+"</p>"
+"<span class='myTextStyle1'>"+firstbodytext+"</span><br/>"
[code]....
This is not the whole code. I have omitted the RSS loader and the CSS loader and the Text field.

Issue: dynamic textfield created at runtime with html text doesn't display bold and italics.
Having the Font symbol in my library with the linkage name "Avenir" :
[Code]...
The textfield totally ignores the bold html tag. The right font is displayed but the html tags are ignored. So if I want one text field to be able to dynamically display bold and italics (html text) using a Font Face in my library...how do I do it? What am I missing?

I have the following code:
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myText_txt.html = true;
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.htmlText = this.myVariable;
};
myData.load("events.php");
I have a text box on my page that has an instance name of myText_txt so it should load the data from the events.php into the text field. I've enabled HTML on the text box and made it dynamic and multiline. When I output the PHP file the text box is blank. Here is the PHP file:
PHP Code:
<?php
echo "&myVariable=This is some text. Here is a link: <a href="http://espn.com">ESPN</a><br><br><br> Here is <img src="arrow2_as2" id="arrow2_as2">";
?>
why it won't output any of the HTML text?

I've created a dynamic text field where I've insert into a lot of HTML code. Since it's too much long I've used a default scrollbar and simply dropped it onto the field so that It's linked to that. When I try it the bar is there but I can just see the upper arrow and the bottom one; the middle part isn't visible and I can't scroll down the HTML content.

I made a scrollbar, but now I have a problem, need to read the number of lines of Dynamic text field and if it is greater than x show the scrollbar and hide if is less. Like this:
if(text.instance>7){
scrollbar._visible = true;
}
else{
scrollbar._visible = false;
}
My problem is how do I count the total lines of dynamic text field after load a external text.

I'm trying to load an XML file and place the content into a dynamic text field. The XML nodes contain content within CDATA sections that have basic <b> and <i> tags. Once I have the content loaded into a variable and trace it, I can see all my tags within.
I then place the content into a dynamic text field with html set to true but for some reason it doesn't show any formatting, the tags appear to have been rendered because they don't show up inline. I thought maybe this was due to embedded fonts but i have all of my bold, bold italic, italic and regular font's within a text field embedded so I wouldn't think thats an issue. Is there something I'm overlooking?

If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";

I have an external text and i want to make some hotspots in this text preferably with actionsscript in flash so the next functions can be added in flash:
when somebody goes over it with the mouse it displays the position and some hover text and when the mouse goes over it or selects/clicks it, thats has to be registert. I think some of these functions can easily be made in flash so thats why flash has to identify the specific word in the text file.
So i have the text: "this is an example text" and i want flash to identify "example" as an hotspot or clickable word, when the mouse goes over it, it should display position and something should remember that the word has been clicked.
Is there any way to set up a variable for this? Or another method to do it?

I have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

I'm working with my .fla file and an external .as file. I've got things working the way I want and now I'm trying to add a dynamic text field to my .fla file. I've added the dynamic text field to the stage manually (not via action script code) and when I go to publish my file I get the following error message. 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TextField. Do I need to add an "import" to the front of my .as file? I currently have these import statements... import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Bitmap; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*;

dynamic text field, which displays a txt file.
If I hardcode the file name in the code, then it works fine. This is on the first frame of my movie, which holds the dynamic text field.
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(success)
{
[Code]....
Is there a trick to defining url's for dynamic text fields? Because if I hardcode the path from the server, it works locally, but again not on the server...
Could it be a problem of permisson (since the url of the txt is from a different page than the one the swf is on)?
