I have created a simple Flash object that presents some text; it's a rotation of testimonials. The client wants to be able to edit/add to the items. He's going to maintain the site once it's handed off through the use of Dreamweaver; I've used templates to lock down the sensitive areas, and as it's a CSS based design there are many.
Is there a way to get rotation of text without having to create the media to do it? I've tried to explain that when a page loads, it's loaded -- it's the media's job to play the pretty things. He says someone told him this would be a piece of cake in various content management softwares, but I'm convinced they meant he could edit one area of text as often as he wanted to add/change the text; not that when you loaded the page you could sit there and it would display, sequentially, N number of text bits while you sat there and watched. But I'm asking, because I'm not a genius here, and maybe there's some way to fit this bill that I'm not thinking of.
I know this is a tutorial on this site but I'm having trouble finding it, and its been a while so I can't remember exactly how to do it. I just need to make a dynamic text field that you can edit via text file.

I'm working on an online editing website. how to receive the image after the user edit it (change colours, add text) in to my email (as a PDF, JPEG, PNG,...??)?
I have some flash banners for an affiliate program. On my own sites I use an ad serving program and just set the destination URL of the flash banners using the program. However, I want users to be able to modify the destination URL when they put the banner on their own websites. How can I accomplish this? There's no implementation restriction but I want something as simply as possible for my affiliates to copy and paste.
I have an input text box with the instance inputnameone. On another page I have a dynamic text box with the instance outputnameone. When I press button with the instance "submit", I want the information in inputnameone to go into output name one. From the basic as3 I've been able to learn I've written this actionscript:
submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, transfernameone); function transfernameone(e:MouseEvent):void { outputnameone.text = inputnameone.text;
When using the NumericStepper I want to force the user to only be able to edit the value using the NumericStepper's up and down arrows. I do not want the user to be able to type in a value directly. How can i do this in flex 4?
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
If the counter reaches 350 and I move my mouse down now it hops on over to 250. I just want it to start counting down. I.e. 349, 348, 347 and so on. What do I need to change?
//Function function countUp(e:TimerEvent):void{ if (mouseY < 180) {
[code]...
EDIT: What do I need to write in AS3 to make a dynamic text field increase in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the upper half of the screen, and decrease in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the lower half of the screen?Purpose, it isn't a game.
What I have right now isn't actually doing any of those things, I've just been mucking about trying to get all the masks working and they finally are.
I've included the code to offer as much information as possible about my specific project. There is also a few more lines that changes the colour of the dial when the user rolls over the specific coloured bars. I can post that as well if it helps.
To clarify the scene, the arrow part of the dial tracks the user's mouse. Always pointing towards it. The bars, when rolled over changes the colour of said dial. The "73M" is static, as well is "POINTS" but the 380 value is dynamic. It is that string I need to affect.
If anything is unclear please feel free to ask, I've been at this all night so there is a chance I'm so into it that I can't see straight.
I have a flash that reads all it's content from an XML file, alot of dynamic texts, it's in AS2 and it uses Dynamic text variables to assign the text from XML to the dynamic text.
Now I'm migrating it to AS3, I can't use Dynamic text variables any more, I know I can assign it manually one by one, but I have more than 200 movies to migrate, and it would take a lot of time to do it.I thought of one solution: If I can read all the dynamic texts in the whole movie at once, I can build a nice loop to read them one by one and assign the text from XML to it's respective texts.
I am wondering the capabilities of the SWF Format. I have some text in a Flash Video, which is an email address (xyz@somewhere.com) which I would like to write a C# application to edit. I have the SWF File Format Spec and was wondering if the following is possible: If I read in the Tag (I am assuming this text is stored as a Static Text Tag, correct me if I am wrong). Once I found the correct tag for my text I then change the value in the tag and save the SWF file.
I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
I am new to flash. I have had this flash header up on my companies website for live for over a year now[url]...
I want to be able to change the text for the different menu options. (ie. swap About Us with Products).
I am fairly computer literate, yet having a hell of time trying to figure it out in the flash editor. All of the button just say Home and they seem to be drawing from some root, but cannot figure out where that is or how to edit.
One day after I wrote a paragraph of text and saved itI am unable to edit it.a misalignment and consequently the left and right arrows are unreponsive.Also when I highlight the line of text I want to work with as soon as I place the text iconover that line and click the software creates another layer instead of remaining in the layerI've specified
I just got this flash intro and everytime I take into CS5, it says could not load,may be damage.The intro isnt damaged at all.How can I get my intro to load,so I can edit text? If I can get it to load how do I go about editing the text?
I have a premade .fla file I purchased from a web development company. I works when I open it with IE or whatever but I just dont know how to change the dummy text with in the pre made flash template and I wonna change th ecolor from green to black. [url]...
I'm trying to edit a .fla file. It's actually a flash game, a dating sim game to be specific. Now, the game has dialogues where you have to press a "next button" so that the next dialogue will appear, but I've noticed that all the dialogues are gone, they're not appearing at all. It's just a blank space. At the same time, the game has dynamic texts like money, energy and name of the player but likewise it's just an empty space. I've noticed that when I exported the game as swf. The text appears but it's distorted. For example the dialogue "Where am I" would appear as "a aa ii". I've also noticed that when I opened the .fla, it says that there are fonts missing.. I dont know if that has something to do with this..
I'm currently about to hand off a simple XML site to my client for them to begin updating.To add images on the site, they'll need to update simple lines in an XML document.I'm on a Mac and I just use Text Edit to update XML files. Is there some easy text editing program on a PC that I can recommend they use?
I often use white text which is nearly impossible to see with the default white background for the text editing box. There must be a way to change it, but i have spent many hours looking for it.
I need to make it so that my client can edit some text files that are displayed in a frilly little font with shades and all that "mainflashpage.swf" accesses to display it. I heard you can do a lot of things like this with php. I know NOTHING about php. So is there any way that I can use flash to edit a text file? I remember about using void at the end of declaring a function if your not returning data.
I'm using an open-source Flash mp3 player. In comes in two swf versions. One plays a list of songs and displays the album cover(s). The other version just plays one song. The problem is that the single-song version loads some default text that I want to change (I was able to do this in the other version via the external playlist file). I'm a Flash newbie, and when I open the fla file the player's author provides, I can't find where this default text is located. (The playlist version works fine; its default text relates to what the user will get when they click on the file titles.) Playlist version that works OK - [URL] Single song version with wrong default text - [URL]
