I ran in to a problem I could not solve for a very long time While I was using Actionscript 3 in order to change the text of a classic text object in my .fla flash file, I did not see any change in my text field, and noticed that it doesn't display any numbers and some other characters (just some specific letters DID work).

This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
I'm trying to implement some dynamic classic TextFields, but I am seeing errors when the text tries to render. What I am doing is trying to implement a system that shows tolkens and a cash eguivent, I'm using the code
[Code]....
I'm thinking there is something in the TextField that is not set correctly, I tryed to set the autoSize to CENTER but that didn't fix much...
The fonts are not embedded, right? text is substitute by numbers and characters?
View 7 RepliesI am working on a maths game which involves generating some large numbers in AS3. When I pass these numbers into a textbox they appear as e.g. 300000, I would like them to appear as 300,000.Is it possible to format a text box to do this?
View 1 RepliesI 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 RepliesDoes anyone know what I need to do to get a flex text control to display cyrillic characters for example. [wvxvw? hebrew?] In addtion to the main .swf (.mxml) file there are font libraries loaded that are also in a seperate .swf The text control is subclassed from Flex.Text and in a seperated .AS file. Then to top it, the actual text in cyrillic is coming from an .xml file.I've tried "<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' " in the main .mxml file and the xml file. I believe I've put Byte Order Marks (BOM's) for utf-8 in the .AS file and maybe some of the other files. I've compiled everything with specifying the utf-8 encoding as well. I get nothing where the characters are supposed to be.
View 0 RepliesI have a application that works by calling text from XML into flash. The only problem I seem to have now is that some of the text is in french so some of the characters don't get displayed. When I go to the embed option and select all glyphs it makes the font go bold and fuzzy.Is there anyway to display the characters though code or without effecting the actual look of the text?
View 2 RepliesI just need to display Numbers as well as in Words also in the Text field.
For example
99999 - NINETY NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE
for this i plan to use Array
like seperate the given numbers to array ([9][9][9][9][9])
then convert these number in words
The preloader works perfect but I would like it to display text instead of numbers as it loads. So it would be like "one, two, three, four,...." What do I need to do?Code is below
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()+_root.holder_mc.g etBytesTotal())/1024;
loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()+_root.holder_mc. getBytesLoaded())/1024;[code]......
I've been asked to make a flash countdown timer. I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them.

View 3 RepliesIm attempting to create a class which cleans all the mess it's done by itself. If i make some instances of this class in an external class, i want the base class remove itself, or in other words, if i linkage this class to any movieclip, i want to remove this movieclip not in the file I created it in, but rather would like it to automatically remove itself if i want it to. I don't know if it's even possible. A simple removeChild(this) isnt working.
View 3 RepliesI upgraded from an old version to CS5.5 and AS 3.0 and none of my AS works. I can't even do something simple, like display text in a dynamic box. What I'm trying to do:[code]This displays NOTHING. A trace shows the current frame, but I can't get it to display in the box.I also notice that the trace never shows frame 1. I have gotoAndPlay(1); on my last frame.
View 9 RepliesI have done this quite a bit and have had no problem. Then all of a sudden one of my .swf file is not displaying on the index page.
I have a simple image transition .swf file and have added it to the index page:
<script type="text/javascript">AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve rsion=9,0,28,0','width','588','height','300','title','image_slide','sr c','/flash
[Code]....
I actually have another .swf file that also isn't working but I figured I would tackle one first.
I made a swf file and embed it in my website.It displays properly in the mozilla firefox but not in my google chrome.Is this problem related to the browser or the way that I embeded my swf file.
View 1 RepliesI have a text file that contains variables that get pulled into my flash file dynamically. It leaves out random letters throughout the text when it is displayed in the SWF.I'm at my breaking point and I know I am probably missing something simple at this point.
View 2 RepliesI've got a project that currently uses classic dynamic text fields that pull in information from an XML file. The text contains a 'keyword' that's referenced in the XML, that can be situated anywhere in the complete sentence. This keyword needs to be a different colour and font size... but as I said, it can appear anywhere.
Currently this works by getting the keyword from the XML, finding its length, finding the index of where it starts, splicing the main string, and then setting TextFormat to the number of chars in keyword, which changes the font size and colour for just that keyword in the sentence.
This works great for the classic dynamic text boxes. It doesn't however work with TLF text, it just applies the new format to the entire text field. I don't have any experience with TLF text as I've just upgraded to CS5 and now need to make this work in Hebrew.The code snippet for the keyword colour change looks like this:Where screen01Norm & screen01Key are things pulled from XML & screen_01.txt_box_combined is the text field.
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newFormat.color = 0x319aca;
newFormat.size = 50;
[code]....
On the stage I have:
Textfield called "inputTXT".
And a button called "Go".
All I am trying to accomplish here is to have the input characters validated to be ONLY numbers and max 5. However, I don't want to use:"inputTXT.restrict = "0123456789". Instead I would like to check if the characters entered after pressing the "go" btn, are within the defined parameters above (numbers and max5). If yes, then I need to pass a URL, if not then I need to display an error message.
I've been working on a project for a while but got stuck where I have a text file that contains a set of numbers in this format[code]...
So I must read the numbers from the file and put them in an array according to the column so at the end I have[code]...
What I'm trying to do now is have 6 characters on stage (these characters are stored in an array) and 2 characters from this 6 will hold a number each and the other 4 will hold an alphabet each. What I want to do is to run this file many times and each time the each alphabets and numbers will be randomly displayed within these 6 characters there will always be 2 numbers and 4 alphabets but I shouldn't know which character will be holding an alphabet and which will be holding a number. I have only two functions now one function is to generate two random numbers to indicate which index of characters to pick to hold a number and then another for loop that run 6 times to addChild on stage.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know how to make a random character (preferably easily defined as alpha or numeric or both) "code" effect in AS3? Here's some examples of what I'm looking for. roughly... [URL] (both of these examples are AS 1.0) I'm making a sort of "futuristic terminal interface" and want some random numbers / characters generated on the edges. I used to know how to do this before I switched to AS3.
View 2 Replieswhat's the difference between classic text and TLF text
View 1 RepliesWhat is the difference between them and under what conditions is it better to use TLF text?
View 2 RepliesI got Flash CS5 a few days ago and tried to compile some of my applications - got strange textfield representation, parts of words were missing. Very simple example to demonstrate something's not working right here:
-C-reate a textfield (classic; static) type "Test". Choose Arial Regular as Font.
-Create an input textfield (classic), choose Arial Bold as Font, embed the font with all glyphs (or subgroup).
-Compile it: Try to type into the input textfield - no cursor (for me at least), nothing shows up.
If you embed the Arial Regular also (which should not be necessary for a static text), the input field does respond but shows Arial Regular instead of Bold.So it seems you cannot use two weights of the same font in one Flash movie?Using TLF it works fine - but I can't switch over yet, some of my customers do still use Player 9.
I have a text field (for names) wich must allow all characters, except latin numbers, is this possible? I can't think of a regex for this
View 2 RepliesI'm found the site with the monkey on the the flash thing and all it shows is a name, email and something else and I used it and it works by including a txt file and displaying text from that file as putting down this information
name.text = this.name;
and I can't find the site anymore to get help.I want to know how to include a PHP script that shows this information like this
text=something I need&username=My Name&email=something@website.com
I want to show this stuff on the flash but every time I execute by using it as localhost/test.php, it will show a syntax error.
Is it possible in Flash CS5 to import text from a PSD as Classic Text. Since TLF Text doesn't support older postscript fonts, I'd like to be able to import as classic text instead of doing a find and replace and hope for the best.
View 1 RepliesI have created 4 classic text objects and called them Butt1 thru Butt4.This is so I can change the text in code from time to time.I want to create an event listener to pick up when the user;
a) mouses over Butt1, etc.
b) mouses out of Butt1, etc.
c) clicks on Butt1, etc.
In each case I will define a function to perform actions when the button is moused over, moused out or clicked.AddEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler); does not seem to have parameters(as far as I can tell)to point to Butt1, etc.
Is there any way to set the the TLF or the classic text box registration point by some actionscript code or by any other way?
