View 5 RepliesI have a SWF file that is loading text from an xml file. The text loads and animates fine when viewing it embedded in an html page zoomed to 100%. It even looks fine when loading at 100% and then zooming in. My problem is that the text field will not display when the page reloads while zoomed at anything other than 100%. It gets even weirder because everything is fine if I set the text of the dynamic field via a static string, the same string as in the xml file.
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of digital 3d models (in whatever format, I can probably accommodate the conversion) and all I'm trying to do is to find a flash 3d viewer that dynamically gets a 3d model and then allows the user to do things like pan, zoom, and move around in the model. These are specifically models of units and properties, so presentation and smoothness is certainly required. The models are NOT going to be very detailed and heavy
View 1 RepliesI am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.
Just started working in CS5 (missed a few versions) and getting very frustrated. Don't do much flash work so still a beginner. However what is frustrating me is that I have started to create my web flash animation, I have my company logo which is animated and music playing but for some reason whenever I put any text into the document and then test play (or export to swf) the text does not appear.
I have no idea what is happening. I have uploaded the project to [URL] would some be able to take a look for me and tell me what I am doing wrong. All I have done is used the text tool to insert some plain static text. I have never had this problem in the past. Frame 170 is where the text begins.
how to display a large amount of text inside of Flash CS4. I have a 46 page pdf I would like to display but I would really like to keep it internal to Flash...I don't want to link it out to a separate html page if I don't have to (i.e. through a URLRequest). I would like to have one self-contained swf file.

View 8 RepliesI am modifying a English language Flash movie to display in Russian. In English everyhing works correctly however not when I use the Russian xml files.

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
I use XML which has HTML text embedded in it. When i m displaying this text in Flash it gets displayed with spaces I m using AS 3.0,I have also used

but still not working
I have been asked to add support to a xml based website. I have been looking into it and have realised that it is not going to be very straight forward. The text does have english phrases in when describing products being used.
After doing some research I have found that CS3 does not 'support' rtl text. I also read that CS4 has added support, is this worth looking into? I read that it was buggy.
I found FlarabySWF which does what I think I am after, but not for all the languages I need, and only at design time rather than runtime.
I also found Gchats TextBox 3.0.0 but this didn't seem to work.
I also found some solutions using CSS, but these didn't seem to work with multiline text. See this example. It also didn't work as the text I am trying to display is bi-directional ..
Actualy, importing Arabic text is not a problem, but dealing with bidirectional text of Arabic and English within the same line is a big one.
I've a couple of website on thefwa.com in which you can avigate by using the back and forward buttons on the browser.[URL].. Look at the URL String. It's done through that.

View 1 RepliesI've come across a strange error with a contact details form developed with Flash CS5 Prof. My keyboard layout is set up as English (UK) and pressing shift-2 gives me an ", shift-' gives me a @ in Chrome, Notepad, Word etc. In a text field on the flash form, entering shift-2 gives me @ but shift-' gives me ".

How can I change the text field so that it works correctly for my keyboard layout?

Im a bit of a novice with flash and have become stuck while trying to achieve what should be a simple task. I am trying to read in XML data and display the lables in a combo box and then display the corresponding data in a text field below. So that when for example "Vintage Red Wine" is selected in the combo box, the description for that wine will then be shown in the textfield below.Most of the code is functional. The combo box displays the information i want. The only thing that doesnt want to work is the text field which should show the wine decriptions.
Here is my XML data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wines>

how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.
View 1 Repliesis it possible to display the output window's contents into a textField so it can be seen in the SWF?
Has anyone tried this?
I have been wondering how other people handle displaying different buttons at different times. For instance, let's say that a user clicks on a button and once they do that you don't want them to see that button again until they do sonething else. in the past I have handled this by simply changing the button's 'x' or 'y' so that they are moved off the screen. One potential problem with this is that the button is still active in the tab order

I have a project I am working on and I am stuck on this. I have an array that holds songs. I want to somehow print these items out and make them buttons so that when I click on it, it will call a function. For proof of concept, i will just make my own code here and you guys can give me insight:
Code: Select all
var a:Array = new Array("song1.mp3", "song2.mp3", "song3.mp3", "song4.mp3");
Now i want this to firstly display:
song1.mp3
song2.mp3
song3.mp3
song4.mp3
I tried a for loop and a dynamic text field but that just overwrites itself. Next, it would be nice if it could add an event listener or call a function loadSong(curentSong[1]) ===with whatever position it is in the array between the brackets==
There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:
[Code]....
However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:
[Code]....
So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?
This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<
I'm reading text from a text file and displaying it into a text field. The problem is when i read it doesn't display the text as it is in a text file. For ex - See below imageNow , as you can see, second line in the text file starts right where first line ends.But flash doesn't display it like that. I have hundreds of lines and in most cases flash spaces consumes less space then a text file. The font in both text field in Flash and notpad is to Arial so the font shouldn't be a problem.

I've made several flash buttons for use in my navigation bars. They work great but the "back" arrows on the browser are always grayed out. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of browser I use. The site was made in Dreamweaver and the Flash buttons are imbedded within the pages. I posted the same question on the Dreamweaver forum and got some vague answers.
Is there some code I can put into my Flash buttons?
The site is [URL] or just type "Fire on McGinnis" into a search engine.
I came across this simple flash site,[url]...
in the Profile (first button) you are able to copy and paste the text. I was wondering how this was done.[url]...
