I have a .fla file with a movieclip that has a dynamic text box in it. In my .as class file I'm setting the dynamic text's text with _clip.Score.text = "Points: " + _score.toString(). This seems like it would work but for some reason the following results happen:[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load some jpeg's into my movieclips. They are loading, but my height is displaying wrong. The image is 64x100px. I'm changing my movieclip to show the same size, but the display of the image is stretched.Doing a Debug of the movie, the movieclips show the correct dimensions, but the images are still stretched vertically somehow. My _xscale and _yscale are both at 100.
This is in actionscript 2.0. I've ran this file on both MX2004 and CS3, with the same result. The images aren't progressive,
Code:
numImages = 30;
spacing = 10;
x_pos = 0;
y_pos = 0;[code]..........
I recently purchased a flash template and after a lot of configuration and tailoring to my own requirements, I have the website look and feel exactly how I want it. I then proceeded to upload the site into cPanel and more specifically Apache, and unfortunately the display within the flash has now gone completely wrong. There are extra spaces in sentences where there were previously none and numerous images and text titles do not display any longer.his occurs in all browsers when viewed live but when viewed from my local computer via my hard drive all browsers display the content as normal??I am more of a Cisco/Network consultant therefore my knowledge in this area stretches a very small amount. I have added the Apache Handlers for .swf, .xml and the image formats but that's about as much as I know
View 9 RepliesThere'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?
I 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.
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 >_<
how to add numbers to a dynamic text box but wat i really wannt know is how to make it do something if it hits a certain number..
if (_root.total = _root.total 10) (
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
the total is the text box and i would like it to go to frame 2 wen the numbers hit 10.
i followed the turtorial on how to add numbers to a dynamic text box but wat i really wannt know is how to make it do something if it hits a certain number...I tryed on my own... as i didntwanna bother people here but for some reeason it wont go

I wrote a flash game a while back (CS3) and it used to work but when trying to compile the same FLA file in CS5 does not work.
I've got a dynamic text field called tScore
tScore.text = Score;
Used to apply the current integer value of the user's score to the text box. It no longer does that. (It appear empty)
By way of simple debugging:
tScore.text = Score.toString; // no value shown
tScore.text = String(Score); // no value shown
tScore.text = "A"; // sets the field to the value A
[Code]....
I know it's been a long time for weird stuff to happen in flash
Has anyone experienced a text field that doesn't accept digits?
Im trying to display 16 random numbers in the dynamic text field, but Im only one number is being displayed.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:uint = 0; i < 16; i++){
var randomNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 9);
trace(randomNumber);
}
output_txt.text = String(randomNumber);
I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them.I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with a starting number of 3.75 and I was this number to increase to 6.00 and then stop. I know this should be pretty simple to do with a little actionscript.
View 3 RepliesI have created a dynamic text box (named "numberString") inside a movieclip "circle" which is on the stage. Anyways, I have 24 frames in movieclip "circle", with numbers from 1-24 on different frames. These numbers are in "numberString".Since the animation allows the numbers to continually play over and over again, and thus the numbers are always changing, I was wondering: how can I 'read' the number that is playing when I, say, roll over it? I know the script for the roll over, but I can't figure out an efficient way to find out what number is playing when I put my mouse over it.
View 6 RepliesI have a counting movie which displays numbers from 1 to 1000 (action scripts) in a dynamic text box. First 1 and then 2 and so on. It works very well. I convert this movie to a movie clip and drag this new movie clip to the main stage on frame 1, but anything happens now.
View 14 RepliesI have a dynamic text block (with text in it), which is on a button. This button is within a movie clip. This has created a "slide-in" / "slide-out" illusion when clicked on it.
My problem : The dynamic text does not display at all. If I change the text to Static, it displays.
Am I missing something, or why is this not displaying??
when i run movie i can not see text in my dynamic text box though i am able to select it and if "ctrl + A" it and paste it in my actions panel i can see it contains the text i intend.....
also if i just comment the line from my code -- preloader_txt.text = int(pcent)+" || 1mb"; then the dynamic text box is showing the default text i put there which means there is no formatting problem...
I have an odd problem in CS4/AS3 with one of my flash files where text is incorrectly rendered if the movieclip containing the text has a 3d matrix transform and quality is set to medium or low. It is easy to reproduce:

im trying to do a simple calculation and display it in a dynamic text box however when I use small numbers the dynamic text box displays NaN.
PHP Code:
lambdas = rk / lp;
lambdas.toString();
test_txt.text = String(lambdas);
lambdas is is the variable i am trying to display in the dynamic text box (instance name is test_txt). rk and lp are input text numbers. I am trying to use rk = 0.05 and lp = 0.2. 0.25 should be displayed in the box
I am an animator who does a little actionscript from time to time (enough to get me in trouble) but am at a newbie lite experience stage. I have flash 8 (actionscript 2). I have formulated a calculator for my boss (not in animation, unfortunately) that has some very simple flash maths. I have previously loaded text into a swf from an external text file into a dynamic text box � easy enough. But in my simple calculator I�d like to add a pricing schedule which I can edit externally (without Flash, simply edit the text file) to change the prices on some stuff. Can this be done? Every time I try using the loadVariablesNum or LoadVars approach my calculations come up with a NaN error. I suspect you can�t load characters that are recognised as numbers from an external text file. Can I do it with XML (I have some very basic understanding) or do I need to use php and mySQL?
View 2 Repliesi defined a global array in the first frame.When the user clicks on a button a value is inputted into the array, and they can click on several so all the different values are stored in an array.I want to display the last value of the array, so the last button they clicked on, on a separate frame.so i define my array like:
_global.purchases = new Array();
and the code on my button is:
on (release){
_global.purchases="awhite";
_root.gotoAndPlay("checkout_page");
}
and the code on the frame with the text box is:
var arrayCount = purchases.length;
var latestValue = arrayCount-1;
if (purchases[latestValue]=="awhite"){
imagename_txt = "A White";

However, the text doesnt display at all. If I trace my array then I get "awhite". If i trace arrayCount I get "6" and "5" for latestValue. But if i try and trace purchases[0] then I get "undefined".

To display their name in a tester dynamic text field with just their name in it and no static text
Underneith the images of the characters and bg's is a sentence that gets filled out after you make your choices, ie "One day, [character name] went to the [lbackground name]."
I also need to have the character name and background name different colours from the rest of the text, is there a way to hook up a css file to give just those words different properties from the rest of the text?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a dynamic text field that loads data from an XML file. the XML file cannot contain html formatting, and the idea is that each word should be able to be on its own line. like:
Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.
Now, I've been told that the way they used to do this is that in the XML is formatted where they put all the words on their own lines. like:
<data name ="input">Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.</data>
when i try this, it seems to be double spacing everything.
I have a DynamicText movie clip call mcShotsText. In my .as file I'm creating an instance via:
private var _mcShotsText:MovieClip;
_mcShotsText = new mcShotsText();
_mcShotsText.x = 300;
_mcShotsText.y = 300;
addChild(_mcShotsText);
If I make the symbol so that it starts with text, it displays that fine. I want to alter it in code throughout the course of the game. I was hoping this would work:
_mcShotsText.text = "I am a cample";
