I have a movie clip which has 3 different text boxes inside it. I want to make each text box clickable similar to a hyperlink in HTML (clicking on text box 1 takes you to one website, clicking on text box 2 takes you to another website, etc.). Right now my code is as follows:
ActionScript Code: MyMovieClip.gotoAndStop(2); MyMovieClip.TextField1 = "Click Here For Example 1";
[Code]...
So, you will see that I have 3 different text fields (labelled TextField1, TextField2, TextField3. Something is obviously wrong with my onRelease function, so my question is how can I make TextField1 clickable and send you to [URL] when you click on it? Am I using the right approach in the first place?
I am willing to use Macromedia Flash this year to make my physics project. Well, its going to be force resultant calculator. for ones dont know how it gets counted.
Well, I'll make 4 input text boxes, and a button in the middle. 1 text boxin the north, (power effect the body from the north) one on the south, one on the east and one on the west.(I've done that part).
Then, ill need it to subtract the north - south and east - west on(release), and display that on a dynamic box called Fx (east - west) and another called FY (north - south) Finally, I'll need it fethagorth the Fx and FY to give me the final force resultant. I've done the 4 input boxes and a button, I'll still need someone gimme the action script for subtraction and fethagorth (or atleast teach me how to do it).
I made all the corrections in my code and got a working one. But what I really want to do is not adding texts into one text field. I need to get the numbers which is written by users into text boxes and then use their inputs to make some calculations. (Like 3+6=9 ). When I assign numbers to variables Ican easily make calculations but what I really want is not that. the numbers should be entered by these text boxes. I think need to change "string" to "number" but when I do this I get error message. I am planning to use the calculation result in some other part of my code. I am wondering if using "return" function useful for me to get the number (the result) of calculation?
becase it replaces the user's inputed text. I want to just insert text where there "flashingType-dealy" is located (my apologies I don't know what it is called).
I have 4 dynamic text boxes which duplicates the text from a main input text box. How do I write a code to make visible only the dynamic text box I want when clicked it's check box.What is the CODE to make each "DYNAMIC TEXTBOX" visible when clicked on it's checkbox?
I am somewhat of a beginner and have been attempting to create an entire website using Flash CS4 Everything is going quite well and the body of all of the pages are built The navigation buttons to each page are working perfectly. Now I am simply filling in the content for each individual page. Most of the pages were large enough to contain the content without requiring more room One of my pages will have a large area of text and several pictures.I became aware of the Components menu last evening and the selection of the scrollbar.I added the component to my page and sized it accordingly. It allows me to add text but not JPEG images. I was wanting to know how to utilize the scroll feature and still have text and images on the page
I know you can read the contents of a text file into a dynamic text field at runtime. Can you also insert the string contents of a variable into a dynamic text field at runtime? I simply want a dynamic text field that says "Welcome back, <username>" I am doing it right now with a static text field and a dynamic one, but if the username is really short, the whole thing is not centered and looks weird. Optimally, it should all be part of one element on the stage.
I was wondering if it's possible to have a dynamic text box that can change sizes, without distorting the text displayed in it... I would also like to set it up dynamically.
I use .txt files a lot with flash to load external news and updates. Although you can use the loadVariablesNum() command to load the .txt files is there anyway to edit and save the external files in flash? e.g. say I have a text box and a submit button in flash is there some way where I can add the text boxes content to a .txt file?
I'm trying to take a variable from the parent movieclip and use it in the child movieclip inside of a dynamic text field.
The variable has a value that is taken from a php file.
I'm completely lost at the moment and know that my code is probably completely wrong.
here it is:
parent movieclip: var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded); loader.load(new URLRequest("../SC/FLA_cont-btn.php"));
! I just did the Kirupa XML tutorial (for Flash MX) and ... I actually understand! But now I need to change a few things.. and I haven't got a clue. Right now, I know how to import text from an XML file into different text boxes. But, what I need to do, is be able to import text regardless of how many text boxes my FLA file has.
The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?
Basically all I am trying to do, is place a simple text animation on a separate layer and animate it. Every time I insert the first keyframe on the first character of the text I am animating, it turns the whole document white. When I preview it like this, the white "layer" pulses at the set frame rate I have applied. I have played around with moving the layers and what not and I cant get this problem to go away.
Is it possible to tell a text box to auto fit to its text? What I mean is that when i change the size of a font to something smaller the text box remains its old large self. This is a problem because when I want to align this text with several other text boxes that have gone through similar treatment, the alignment will take into account the full box size rather than just the text.
So basically I have to go and manually shorten each text box. Which is a pain when you have to deal with a lot of text. Is there a script or button/option I'm not aware of that will auto fit the box constantly?
I want to parse the data from an XML file into an array and then put each of the values in the array into a dynamic text box on the stage. The text boxes are name "number1_txt", "number2_txt" &c.I have managed to set up a loop to parse the XML into my array and also to generate the names of the text boxes dynamically but I can't get the values from the array to display in the text boxes!
function parseXMLNumbers(doc:XML):Void { temp = new Array(); for (a=0; a<doc.firstChild.childNodes.length; a++) {
I have: Input text box Dynamic text box What's the code and where do i put it, so when entering a value to the input text, the dynamic will show the amount multiplied by 20?
I have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
its strange but one time this code works in a few minutes suddenly i get error #2032. I am just start to learn AC3 and obviously doing something wrong.and explain me?
i have five arrow mc's. when each arrow mc is clicked, it makes a box mc visible with content in it next to it, like a tool tip.the behavior i'm looking for is this:when any given arrow mc's box is visible, clicking on any other arrow mc will make the presently visible box mc disappear and the new box mc appear.
I am new to Flash and use Flash MX.I saw a site online that I really enjoyed and would like to make a similar one to it, though I'm not sure what is the best way to do it.The site is http:[url]......html I like how the lines and boxes appear and then the buttons. My question is, what is the best way to do this? I've seen lines and boxes appear and move around on a variety of flash sites, so HOW IS IT DONE? Is it better to create the entire document and have certain sections reveal with a mask or is it better to use tweening to make it look like the lines/boxes are getting longer/bigger? Should action script be used in this sort of thing?
I'm making a program that draws a grid of boxes and the color of the box must be different to those adjacent to the box. My code compares the current box's color to those to the left and top. If any of them matches, it picks another random number (as the color). For the tiles on the first row/column, I make my grid's array indexes with negative numbers -1 so that it will not match.
What I have:
private function fillArray():void { grid = new Array(); grid[-1] = new Array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1); //paddles the grid[-1][0 to 4] with -1 for (var i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {
