View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip (named "checklist")with a great number of input text boxes in it. This clip is used early in the my movie (frame 1) and again at frames 20 and 30. The problem is that in the later frames the information the user typed in the first frame is no longer there. Now I could use the var parameter and set it to _root for all of the boxes, but I've been told that the var parameter is a bad way to go. Rather, I should use the name option instead, i.e. "myText_txt". I tried experimenting with objects, but I am not a programmer and so I am probably doing this wrong.

So, I am looking for a best practice. Should I just use the var parameter? That way all of the text fields update when the movie hits frames 20 and 30.
I need to have an outline for the text typed in my input text boxes. How do I achieve this?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to pass text from an input text in frame 1 to a dynamic text field in frame 10. Thus when the user enters text and clicks the submit button it takes them to frame 10 and shows them what they typed. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors. Here's the link:

I need to advance a movie clip onto the stage (that will look like a strip of paper) as the user types in a message from my text input window.Right now I am using this code to display the typed text on the paper, but I need it to look like a printer is pushing it out as the user types in the message and limit it to 50 characters.

View 6 RepliesI'm using AS 2.0 and experimenting. I've got one main movie, with buttons at the top, each button loading a movie into a common movie clip...there are nine buttons/movies in all.Here's my problem. The nine movies have some common elements which seem perfect to put in a shared library. The sharing works, but when I plug the shared elements (either backgrounds or buttons) into the movies:1. Any text typed in Flash disappears (the text is Classic and Static), and;2. The buttons lose their "button" properties. Hyperlinks/AS coding will not work on them. I've made sure the buttons have an instance name. I even tried creating invisible buttons on a layer above the library-linked buttons (having the latter just for show), but strangely, the invisible button, when placed directly above the library-linked button, doesn't work either.

If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1.

How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?

I am trying to make a text link within a scroll box jump to another frame within the same Flash file. Is this possible without having to make a button or movie clip? For some reason if I insert an object like a movie clip or button in the scroll box, it appears in a different area when I publish the file so I can't use that option for links.
I need to be able to highlight the text and then program it to jump to another frame label.
I am trying to simulate adjusting an LCD screen's contrast using two buttons.
The LCD is one graphic on ONE key frame that runs the entire length of the timeline.
Not sure how to start with the action scripting for this... i would like to use hex values if possible, but had no luck so far with my AS2.
The hard part is that i have a text box on top of the LCD on many different keyframes and the color / brightness of the this will have to change accordingly with the LCD screen.
I am making flash segments for one of my professors for online teaching and the way he has his server set up, whenever there are interactive segments, the segments are done on one frame. Right now I am trying to make an interactive segment where you click on input variables to an AND gate (in circuitry) to change the input from 0 and 1, and then based on these inputs it will show the output.
Basically I want to start out by having them all display ?'s, and then if you click on the ? it turns into a 1 and then clicking again goes to a 0 and 1 and 0 etc. How can I either change what these buttons look like or how can I change the buttons to go from the ? button to the 1 button while all staying on one frame? I am very very new to actionscript (I know how to AddEvent Listener, etc, I just need to know what to write for my function)
1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
I'm working on a number of pages that load external text files with buttons.That part works fine and I had the text marked up with basic html but would rather use css....I'm trying to figure out how to apply the css to the text:
here is the css
Code:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
VIDEO, P, STRONG, LENGTH {
[code]...
the text loads but isn't formatted by the CSS
a. is the css code valid?
b. what do I need to do to get it to apply to myTxt?
c. when I load new text does the CSS have to be 'reapplied'?
I want a xml text loaded in a normal textfield. I want to embedd the font to the textfield (so not in the xml file). I also want to add links to the xml text and change the look of the link with css. I just want a text file with links in it in Flash and want it to be possible to change it outside of flash so in a XML or text or html file i dont care. As long as I can make links in the text file without the ugly link stripe under the text (so it should be changeable with CSS).
View 10 Repliesi would like to have a dynamic text that loads text from a *.txt file. This i know how is done, but the problem appears when i want the text-field to roll over the screen, as a motion tween.

I am using Flash Builder 4 to implement embedded text, what I would like to do is apply this embedded text to a text field in an external SWF (.fla file using Flash CS4).
My code is like so:
[Embed(source='//lib//fonts//Tahoma.ttf', fontName='_Tahoma', embedAsCFF="false")]
private var embedString:String; // added for embed font
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code]....
I have set the fontFamily of the dynamic text field inside the .fla to a custom font and have the AnitAlias set for readability. The Custom font is set to 'Tahoma'.
I have a project that is running a lot of classes.
I define the font in the document class and it's working perfectly on textFields inside the document class.
But how do I access and embed this font for textFields in other classes?
i want to apply some animation (like fly from left) to all the character of paragraph text.for this, i have created a movie clip with only one character (suppose "A") and done some animation like first it flies from left then it rotates and gets fade off and on.Now i have a paragraph in another movie clip and of course it contains lots of characters (more than 200) so it is not possible to apply same animation to all the characters individually making layers.
