Hidden Text When Editing Flash File?
Sep 8, 2009
This is a custom flash template I downloaded, when you watch/use the template you can see about me, and all the text in it, however when I attempt to edit it to my specs, I see the frame where it is located, but I cannot edit any text, because I can't SEE any text!!So basically, in editing mode, I don't see any text to edit, but when using the template, I see a lot of info... I have no idea what to do, and please keep in mind I am in no means a professional, or even intermediately good with Flash...

I have a flash file and I have the dynamic text with the variable name 'Text1' I want to be able to edit this piece of text by linking the flash file to a php file - but I know nothing about php and therefore I don't know what coding to use in flash to link to php. All I need is a basic bit of coding which would be able to put in php so that one bit can be edited so that it will be edited in the swf.

I'm edit a flash file that uses about 11 different fonts. When I toss it into the editor and publish it some characters are missing from the product, such as W's and M's. I've installed the fonts that were included with the flash file into windows7.

What's the best way to enable a client to edit text in a Flash-only site? I'm not talking about throughout the site, just selected text blocks. I could easily fill them from XML files and provide a file upload facility, but most clients will want something more friendly. I could copy the text to a TextArea for editing within the site and update the text from that but I think I'd end up writing my own wordprocessing software to make it look friendly. What do others do? I don't want to re-invent the wheel!

I'm working on a stand-alone application and NOT a web-based application, so I'm trying to do this strictly with AS3, if possible. For example, if I have an XML file that looks like this:
Code:
<profile>
<username>Joe</username>
<password>Smith</password>
</profile>
How do I change the value of the USERNAME attribute via AS3?
I've tried something like this already:
var xmlData:XML();
...
xmlData = XML(event.target.data);
xmlData.profile.username = "Mary";
but when I open the XML file, it's not writing "Mary" in place of "Joe."

I am currently using flash for the first time to create a digital version of a board game for a project. This is the first time I have used actionscript and flash for that matter. I have learned a lot from this website but have finally hit a roadblock.In my game I have trivial pursuit like "pies" that the player gets pieces of as they progress. Once they get all 8 pieces, they win. I have each piece of the pie for all 4 players set as an instance of a movie clip and have their alpha set to 0 at the beginning. So i have 4 instances of each piece of the pie labeled pie0player1, pie1player1, ... , pie7player1, pie0player2, ... , pie7player2, etc.I have tried just running a method from my external Game class actionscript file that would change the alpha of these respective pie piece as the player earns them so that they are visible.My first question is: Is it possible to change the alpha of these movieclips from my external Game class file? Or do I need to make all of these changes within the timeline?followup questions being: If I can edit these values from my class file, what would be the best way to do this? I would like to access the movieclips using something like the following code if possible: [code]Do i need to store these movieclips in a 2d array to access them dynamically like this?

I'm creating a Flash presentation, and the user wants to be able to change the text on any screen from Flash itself. This was my original my idea (I don't have much experience in AS):
1 - Put all the text in a text file (XML or plain).
2 - Make AS read the text and fill in the text fields in the Flash presentation.
3 - When it's needed to change the text content, execute the Flash presentation with a parameter that will tell AS to show all the fields as INPUT.
4 - Save the new text in the text file via PHP.
But I have been asked if it would be possible to avoid the use of a text file (and the server connection with PHP) and change the swf text content directly with AS. Is this possible? I have been googling it but with no success. I have the idea that this wouldn't be possible but i don't know all the possibilites in the Flash environment.

I'm attempting to unravel a Flash template and there are two Flash movies, Main and Magazine, the second being embedded into the first. The Magazine Flash file contains a menu of links to various pages in the Magazine movie. There are 5 of these links - About, Services, Contact, etc.I've been trying to find the text elements so I can assign new colors, but the only thing that I can find is the first element. Tere is a scene called menutxt which has an area with text for each of the five links but they all have the text "About" in the buttons. I would have expected each button to contain the different link names.o I was assuming that this was a standard

Am I blindly missing a method for creating a hidden file or directory in an AIR / AS3 desktop app? Re-combing the docs, all I see is the File.isHidden read-only property. I know I could do this via NativeProcess and native code, but I'm hoping to avoid creating native code.

How would I do this? Is there a font I could use?

I bought an Easy Flash Template from web-flash-template.com. The template consists of a flash file (fully flash based site), PSD files, image files and a .txt file for all the text. There's no problem editing all the files, except for the .fla file. I am trying to edit it to add a new page, embed a youtube video, etc and I see no layers for each screen. When I look in the ActionScript I see some details there which mentions screen 50 or 95, etc, but I can't edit any of those screens. Either I'm missing the boat thoroughly (which could be ) or this is a poorly designed template.So, my question is, would anyone here who is a little more experienced with flash be willing to let me email them the file to take a quick look at it to give me any pointers?

I am currently creating an online portfolio using Slideshowpro [URL]. For some of my pictures I am using (external) captions from a XML file, inserted into a dynamic textfield. As some of the captions contain a lot of text I decided to add a UIScrollBar. However, when there is no text (no caption) available, I want the scrollbar to be hidden. Also if there is not enough text to warrant a scrollbar it would be great if it could be hidden!
Code below, note that "t_txt" is the instance name of my dynamic textfield:
import flash.text.TextField;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
//remove scrollbar from stage, scrollbar component must be in library
var sbContent:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();
[Code] .....

I'm using a program called SWFText, which basically helps you create a flash animation to a text without knowing a "thing" about flash.And it outputs a .swf file without a .fla file. I want to use this .swf in my website, but I also want to edit the text in it according to my guests name.For instance, I created a .swf from swftext with the string "Docent" and embed it to my html code. but i don't want to display docent when josh enters to the site. I want basically delete "Docent" out and write "josh" instead.

The server hosting our FMS does not have space to adequately store the media files over time. I have since connected a 500GB external drive to the server. This drive is mapped as the Z drive. I am not exactly sure how I need to edit my application.xml for all http requests to point to this external drive. Below is a small sample of the file. How would I correctly edit this file? Would I just add a line that says <Streams>/;${Z:VOD_DIR}</Streams> ? Do I need to delete either of the below lines?
- <Application>- <StreamManager>- <VirtualDirectory>- <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams. --> <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> </VirtualDirectory> </StreamManager>

I have an input text box that outputs a message to an ecard within the same flash file. I would like the user to be able to preview the card containing their message and then have the option to edit their message if they wish. Sounds as simple as going back to the frame containing the input text box and editing the message, but when I go back the input box is empty.
I have tried continuing the input box frames and action script throughout to see if the text is retained (hidden behind the actual card). It is until I try to go back and edit. Again the text box is empty.

Without getting too complicated, imagine just a simple Static textField you created in flash and you filled it in with a paragraph of text.
Code:
simpleText.text = "here is my paragraph and this is fun and the dog ran far but it did not eat the paper with the paragraph and run-on sentences are nice! What if I did not want the word "paragraph" to show up within the textField? What is the easiest way to search for the word "paragraph" and to simply remove it? Would it be to change it to a String, and then search the string, and then remove it, and then convert it back to a textField?

I'm trying to create a 7x7 grid of textfields. I'm storing the textfield properties in an array. Here is the code I have for that -
var instances:Array = [];
for (var k:int = 1; k < 50; k++) {
var inst.TextField = new TextField();
addChild(inst.[k]);
[Code]......
For some reason this doesn't do anything. I don't know why not. Am I storing or accessing the textfield properties incorrectly in the array?
