View 3 RepliesHow do you mix static and dynamic text in one sentence?I want to display This audio is ::totaltime:: minutes long.Where ::totaltime:: is a variable determined in the ActionScript 2 codeCan I do this in a text box on the stage or does it need to be done in ActionScript 2? (I'm not using AS3, even though I'm in CS3.)If it's in AS2, I'm not used to outputting text from there, so how do I specify that the text be embedded Helvetica, 12pt, black, and starting at x:0, y:65 ?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to display a score in CS4 using AS2.0. The score is out of 14, so the display should read "1/14", "2/14" etc. I've got some code that scores correctly, but would like the text box to incorporate the "/14" which is static text. If I sit a static text box next to the dynamic text box, it doesn't align properly. I've anti-aliased the text (Bitstream Vera Sans Bold), but the alignment is still not reliable, even checking type spacing, correct Y position on page etc. The code I have currently is:
var score:Number = 0;
function addScore() {
score++;
scoreBoard.variable = score;
}
I thought by altering the last line to
scoreBoard.variable = score + "/14";
but this doesn't work, the "/14" does not display.I've also tried scoreBoard.text = score + "/14"; In this instance, the "/14" is not displayed when the score is zero, then displays "1/14" when the score is 1, but then displays "a/14" when the score increases.
Recently whenever I tested my swf it did not show any text (static or dynamic) but if I preview the html version then it showed all the text.

View 3 RepliesTry this experiment. Select Text, Static Text, Times New Roman [or any font], set size to 280. Remember how it looks. Now set to Dynamic Text. Suddenly the font size changes even when it still shows 280! How can I make the visual size stay the same?

I have a dynamic text filed where I am setting the text value through a variable. Now, I need that text to look static on run time and HTML tagging on the field enabled.
I have a dynamic text field where I am setting it's text value through a variable. Now, I need this dynamic text field content to look like static font on runtime. I tried embedding the text field but that makes my file so heavy and most importantly, it disables the HTML tagging on the text field.
View 8 RepliesIf you compile a Flash project into a .swf file and that project refers to another .swf file, is it linked statically or dynamically? That is, is the second .swf file contained physically in the first .swf file or does the first .swf file refer to the second at run-time?

View 0 RepliesI have created a Flash Map that functions properly with a static XML file but when I try to load a dynamic XML generated my ColdFusion I get no results. The example can be found at: http:[url]...The one that does not work is at http:[url]....
This map should load the different states that are in the XML file but instead it does not load any of them. The two different XML files can be found at: http:[url]....and http:[url].....An interesting note: Firefox does not recognize the cfm file as a XML file but IE does. This may be based on the file extension.
The Action Script is exactly the same except that it references adifferent file. The Flash works when published for Flash Player 6 but when I try to publish for Player 8 even the
static XML does not work.
Would like to receive the flashvar "filepath=.$name" which contains a string which is the dynamically generated file path to xml file. I would like the flashvar to replace the "xmlfile.php", which is the file playlist.load opens. E.g.
playlist.load("xmlfile.php"); works with this
playlist.load(flashvar); would like this if possible or the equivalent
The file loads the xmlfile.php correctly and will read and play files, I would just like to make this
"playlist.load("xmlfile.php");
" load the flashvar.filepath (contains file path).
var myflashvars:Object = this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;
for(var s:String in myflashvars) {
playlist.load = (myflashvars[s]);
}
//Passing the flashvars;
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="flashvars" value="<?php echo "filepath=".$listxml; ?>" /></object>
Anyone ever notice that Flash renders the same font totally differently depending on whether its a static or a dynamic textfield? It's really frustrating when you're trying to make everything look consistent, and it looks like you are using two different weights of the same font.

I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.
