ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields?
Jun 7, 2006I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:
Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

Mar 21, 2009I am using buttons with a dynamic textfield and a function to set the label for various different buttons:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons With Dynamic Text?
Jul 10, 2007I have been in the habit of making buttons with a dynamic text field. This way assigning a value to the var property of the text field would allow me to reuse the button symbol and assign different text to each. In AS3 it looks like the text field Var property does not exist any longer. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work around? I would like to avoid having to make a new symbol for each button.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Dynamic Text Links As Buttons
Feb 21, 2008I'm building an app where pretty much all the text is pulled in from XML, including the nav. It's linked to a MySQL database which throws XML into the app via PHP...I want the nav to be a dynamic menu made via the number of nodes in the XML file, and it'll end up looking like the 'related videos' menu on you tube. I've got this working by making a movie clip with a text field in it... the app loops through the XML, gets the number of nodes, then dynamically creates the nav via instances of my movie clip with a text field in it...
So say I've got 3 nodes, all of which are going to be nav items... The app then dynamically creates 3 movie clips, positions them onstage, populates the text field inside each movie clip with the name of the link (taken from the XML), and adds an onRelease action to each movieclip. The problem is, because of the nature of the app, the nav could grow to about 50 items over time, so I was gonna make it sit in a box with a scroll bar, like the side menu of related video clips on you tube.
I want to know if I can ditch the movieclips and just use a dynamic text field, and then make use of the scroll bar component so that, when the nav is generated, a scroll bar appears if there are too many items for the nav box to hold. In order to do this I need to know if I can launch action script via a link assigned to some dynamically created text... If not I guess I'll just have to make my own little scroll bar that affects the dynamically created movieclips but I thought I'd ask anyway!

XML Data Parsed To Dynamic Text Field Within Buttons?
Sep 2, 2010I've got my XML file loaded and parsing correctly with a trace statement.
I want to have each text identified as marketLocation1, marketLocation2, etc up to 150 and I wanted to use a 'for loop' to place the value of that XML node into each labeled text field, and each individual text field is buried inside a button so that the button displays on mouseover an associated XML fields data. Each button would also be corresponding labeled market_1, market_2, etc.
Meaning, I mouse over a dot on a map (button) and it pulls up a statistics balloon about that location specific to our companies needs. I'm a total AS3 noob, so I'm not sure if I can preload the data for that button into it's specific text fields.
Specifics are for the xml/flash file
Code:
<market MarketID=1>
<marketLocation>Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC</marketLocation>
<marketPopulation>2,600,000</marketPopulation>
<marketArea>100 sq. miles</marketArea>
</market>
I have markets divided up into regions. I have the base map, which when you click each region goes to a new labeled scene on the root timeline. The scene shows a closeup version of the region. On that region are the dots for the markets. Each dot would have an up state and over state (displaying the pop-up balloon with data) etc.
I'm working on the first 'button' as the initial test and what I want to do is make is that i can use a For loop to cut down on the code, using the variable i in place of the "1,2,3..."
The first button, market_1 is in a labeled scene SERegion on the main timeline. While the code I'm using to parse all the fields is in frame 1.
When I try to place the value of marketLocation located inside the button market_1, I am trying to do this when I parse the data
Code:
function parseData (marketInput:XML):void {
market_1.marketLocation1.text = marketInput.market.(@MarketID == 1).MarketLocation.text();
}
When i compile, i get the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property marketLocation through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton
MarketLocation is also in just the Over state of the button.

View 8 RepliesProfessional :: Dynamic Building Text Box With Push Of Buttons?
Jun 18, 2010I need it with Flash CS4, AS2...
I want to make a little app, .swf, that has a bunch of buttons on them - each button corresponds to a string of text...
So let's say, the buttons are marked as "Rd" "St" "Ln" etc...
When they click on the button, I want it to add that listing to the dynamic field box so it will look something like this
*User clicks on Rd button and "ROAD" pops up in the dynamic text box - User then clicks the "Ln" buttons, and then the dynamic text box changes to "ROAD/LANE"
User decides they don't want to use road, so they click on "Rd" button again, and the dynamic box reads "LANE" - user then wants to add "st" so they click on the corresponding button and now the text field reads "LANE//ROAD"

ActionScript 2.0 :: Draggable Buttons - Moving Dynamic Text
Dec 7, 2002Basically I have button contained in a movie clip (scroller), I want to be able to drag the button up and down and get this to move some dynamic text. If you want to have a look at the fla: [URL].
Code:
on(press){
_root.nFlag = true
}on(release){
_root.nFlag = false
}
And this code for the mc:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.nFlag){
if(_root._ymouse <= 400 && _root._ymouse >= 0){
this._y = _root._ymouse
}}}
My problem is that this only moves the button up and down, and doesn't move the dynamic text. Plus when the mc is named scroller it seems to conflict with code and moving the button doesn't work.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Building Menu Of Buttons With Dynamic Text On Top

So now, how can I build a menu of buttons such that I can display according to the database return on the number of buttons? I have already create a movieclip which is the image of a single button. With dynamic text on top of the button in the movieclip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML - Creating 4 Transparent Buttons Over Four Dynamic Text Fields
Sep 28, 2010I've got a project that loads video clips and text via XML. I'm trying to add buttons but I am not sure how to code them. The problem is, I'm creating 4 transparent buttons over four dynamic text fields. In the XML doc I have 11 different sections or groups of content. Those text fields with the transparent buttons change when each video finishes and a new section is loaded.
What I want to do is get the changing value of any of those 4 buttons that I click while one of the sections is playing and load that new section. At first I thought I'd just check to see what the current section is that's playing and then if I click on the button that represents the next section I would increase the value+1. If I click on the button that's supposed to represent the third section from the current one then I would code the button, current section+3 and so on.
That would work fine but If I'm on section 9 in the XML and there's only 11 sections, I can't add "current section+3" because that would go to section 12 and there isn't a section 12. I would want it to go and load section 0.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Font Of Text In Dynamic Fields Using Buttons?
Dec 10, 2010I have a user text input field and a preview button, when they press preview the inputed text appears in a dynamic text field in another part of the window. I need to be able to change the font of the text in the dynamic field using buttons (so the user can see their text displayed in various different fonts which will be embedded into the swf). After watching various different tutorials I hashed together this code for my first button to change the font to Times New Roman which I embedded with the class name timesNew.
ActionScript Code:
times_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showTim);
function showTim(e:MouseEvent):void{
var oneFont = new timesNew();
var timForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
timForm.font = oneFont;
[Code] .....
When I run the movie everything works fine and the console shows no errors but when I press the button to change the font the text in the dynamic field simply disappears.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Buttons To Enter Digits Into A Dynamic Text Field?
May 5, 2006using buttons to enter digits into a dynamic text field. An example would be an atm machine, where you select digits 0 - 9, you can hit OK or Cancel to clear the field. I can use...
on (release) {
AddDigit("1");
}
...to enter the individual digits.Things that I am unclear about:
(1) How do I link the various buttons to the specific text field.
(2) How do I create the OK button to initiate another action, such as playing a movieclip etc.
(3) How do I cancel the items currently in the field.
I have looked over various tutorials on making calculators, but it is very complex for my skill level.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Buttons Create List In Dynamic Text Field
Nov 4, 2010I have created an organizational chart for the company I work for displaying all current employees. Each contact is shown as a button that displays a 'popup' window on rollover. All of this works perfectly. What I want is to create an option to click on each button and the individuals email address be added to a dynamic text field at the bottom of the page.
Just to clarify, I am able to have text entered into the text field on each click, however, clicking on the next button removes the previous text. I want each click to create a new entry in a list. For example: "contact1; contact2; contact3;" etc etc. The end result would be for the user to copy all text (email addresses) from the dynamic text box and paste it into their Outlook "To" section.
