Professional :: Dynamic Text Fields Not Working Properly In CS5?

May 27, 2010

In an attempt to use a dynamic text field on my page, and passing text to it such as..

question.text = "Sample text here"

..where the instance name of the dynamic text field is "question" ..I found that if I add another text box to the page as static text, but using the same font as the dynamic field, the dynamic field populates incorrectly.If I compile using CS4 it works fine, and if I break apart the static text in CS5 it works fine.I also found if I change the font of the static field to something other than that of the dynamic.. it works fine.However in further testing..if I place a second static text field on the page,the dynamic again breaks even if I use the different font as before.

All of these scenarios work fine in CS4, but in CS5 is causing my dynamic field to change to the same as my static text, or simply mixing letters and otherwise not displaying my dynamic text...I've tested on three systems here all with CS5 ...

I am pulling my hair out trying to find out why this isn't working. Is there anyone out there that can help me out? I'm trying to get the dynamic text fields to display the numbers I have set in variables but the dynamic text field will not display anything, even if I put numbers in there, I have checked my syntax and it is correct, I have made sure that bold is not checked and I have made sure that my fonts are embedded but this thing still will not display.

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML - Dynamic Text Fields Not Working

Jul 9, 2008

I've got a bit of a problem with dynamically created text fields. I want to have the required effect :

The flash file loads the xml file (this works fine) and is able to read all nodes and attributes (yup, works too) and then create a certain amount of dynamic text fields populated with data from an attribute(not working so well....) Heres my code :

Code:
var news = new XML();
news.ignoreWhite = true;
news.load("newsdata.xml");

Professional :: Using HTML In Dynamic Text Fields - CS4?

Mar 4, 2010

Is there a way to type HTML directly into a TextField in Flash CS4?  I've created a TextField on the stage, set it to dynamic, set "Render text as HTML" and thought that I could then type HTML directly into the TextField and that it would be rendered as such.  Instead it displays whatever HTML I type as regular text.

I assume then that the only way to get HTML into one of these fields is to dynamically load it into the TextField through the htmlText property.  Is this right?  And if so, what exactly is the purpose of having a "Render text as HTML" button in the first place?  Couldn't I just load the HTML into the TextField through the htmlText property anyways?

Well, at any rate, I was really hoping to use as much of the flash interface for the project I'm working on, such that anyone who didn't know AS3 could easily update it themselves.  Now it's looking like not only will they have to know AS3 and HTML, but also have to deal with the hassle of formatting what will potentially be a complex system of images, textfields, and videos all in AS3 with no visual interface.
 
Is it too much to ask to be able to just highlight some text and make it bold or italic?  That's really all I need, sadly.

Professional :: Dynamic Text Fields And Symbols

Aug 7, 2010

I'm having trouble with dynamic text. I have a symbol with dynamic text fields in it. In the action script file I want to change the text of these text fields like this:
textFieldName.text = "new text";
But nothing happens. I cannot see any text when I play the movie. Also I tried adding a dynamic text field directly to stage and change the text with
textFieldName.text = "new text";
I can see the new text when I play the movie. Then I added my symbol that has the dynamic texts in it, and the text of the text field that is directly on stage disappears. When I delete my symbol, the text is back there. I'm using Flash CS5 and ActionScript 3.0.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Text Fields - Laying Them Out So That Tab Cycles Properly?

like this

then a submit button. on the right hand side of all of these fields.It seems that when I press tab, instead of cycling from one input text field to the next, and then ending with the highlight on the submit button, it keeps tabing up to the "Address" line of my browser.I'd rather it tabed through each of the text fields.

Professional :: Dynamic Text Not Working In CS5

Apr 4, 2011

I have a percentage counter in my preloader which always worked  perfectly well in CS3. Now that I've uploaded to CS5 the preloader shows  the static text "LOADING" but not the dynamic text with the percentage loaded.  I have re-embedded the fonts, get no errors when I publish, and the  preloader actually does seem to be working. Why would the dynamic text  not show up? I am using Classic Text fields.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Alpha Transition Not Working With Dynamic Fields?

Oct 23, 2008

I understand from reading various forums that if you do not embed the font in to the movie the dynamic field
won't fade with alpha. But when I try to enbed the font or setting embedFonts = true the text just disappears.

I have the text now with a tween just to show that the tween is working while the alpha is not.

This is the link to the SWF:

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields?

Jun 7, 2006

I 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;

[code]....

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).

Professional :: Link Not Working Properly In Flash Banner

We have a Flash banner on the home page and each slide has a link to some other page. Everything works fine, exept in IE.
 
Basically what happens is that if you click on the banner the first time, the link will work fine and bring you to the new page. However, if you go back to the home page again, then the banner does not even present a link anymore (it will still work fine as far as the banner rotation is concerned - just no more links)..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Dynamic Text On Not Yet Visible Text Fields?

Nov 4, 2009

Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:

this["text_1"].text = "Hello";

The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.

Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.

Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.

Can't Get Dynamic Text Fields To Work

Sep 29, 2009

I'm trying to make this guessing game where you have to guess how many times a penguin will bounce off the water surface before it sinks The way I'm planning to do it is kind of like this:

1.[Script telling textbox to add +1] >>
2.[Bounce animation] >>
3.[Script that randomly sends you to point 1, or 4] >>
4.[Ending animation]

Yeah, and right now I'm desperately trying to get that dynamic text field to work ...I've made a button with this code:

(The textbox is called "test")
on (release) {
test ++;
}

And on the first frame of the timeline I've added this:

stop();
point = 0;

I've tried changing names, tried adding "_root." (_root.test ...) nothing works!

IDE :: Kerning Dynamic Text-fields?

Jun 11, 2007

What I'm doing is that I want to create textfields using flash and insert them into my HTML portfolio site.The reason I'm doing this is to be able to use special fonts, kern the text properly and customize the anti-aliasing. I tried with CSS but I don't have enough control using that (regarding kerning and anti-aliasing).I have created a Flash file that can load specific .txt files into the textfield of the SWF (so that the text becomes formatted), using FlashVars. I discovered that kerning in Flash doesn't apply to dynamic textfields unless you set it using actionscript. So I've tried to use the following code on my textfield:

---
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.letterSpacing = 3;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Fields From XML?

Mar 6, 2009

I'm populating dynamic text fields within (timeline) animated movieclips. For some reason, this only works with the first movieclip even though the rest are formatted identically. I'm getting no errors.I can load other nodes into this MC so I think the XML and the code targeting the nodes seems fine (tracing the node values works as well).

The problem seems to be with the target movieclips, however I cannot find any differences in their settings compared to the one that is working. AS and XML below:

Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = -4;

[code]....

I have attached the FLA and XML for reference, version CS4.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Format Some Dynamic Text Fields

Feb 20, 2009

trying to format some dynamic text fields (i.e.) Im trying to specify the font style, the font size and colour, but my code below doesnt seem to be working, no errors being returned.

ActionScript Code:
private var fontStyle:TextFormat;
fontStyle = new TextFormat("Arial",18,0x006666,false,true);

2. Also trying to specify the physical size of the dynamic text field via code, so that long sentences for example can be fully seen without being cut off, see image below.But Im unsure on how to work out the code for doing this tried the regular googling tatic but no results. my dynamic text fields are added to the stage via addChild(); so just physically changing the size of them on the stage .FLA isnt an option as they arent actually on the stage.
