Actionscript :: Turning A String With A Url Into A HTML Link?
Apr 2, 2010
I'm retrieving an unformatted String from a twitter feed. I want to be able to turn a text URL (http://blah.com/qwerty/) into a link but don't know how...is there a handy regular expression for this?
I have a scenario that I get an string with html data, this is not just html data it's an email (outlook) saved as an html file and dropped in the string.Now this string needs to be formatted to an html document and should be a clickable link in a datagrid. So when I click on the link, the HTML document should pop-up and should gave me a nice HTML page that is readable for the normal users. I hope it's a bit clear what I want o_0. don't know where to start.
I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners. I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:
[Code]...
I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)
I've got some dynamic text where certain lines will select (via setSelection) upon clicking.how to turn this selected text into a stored string I can then parse into usable sections.What methods could I use to get a selected text into a string?
I found this code to turn strings into a movieClipInstanceName that exists within a known movieclip. Code: // CREATE THE STRING var newString:String = "movieClipInstanceName"; //CHANGE THE ALPHA OF THE MOVIECLIP TO 0 this[newString].alpha = 0;
However, when using this code for a movieclip within a known movieclip... Code: mc1.this[newString].alpha = 0; ...or... Code: this["mc1"].this[newString].alpha = 0; I get this error... 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
Code: this["mc1." + newString].alpha = 0; ...throws this error... Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I have some html code that is for a button in html that when pressed sends you to a certain url but also somehow adds an 'id value' and a 'website value'.
How can I convert this code and or put it into a flash button?
Disregard the gif info...that's just for the html graphic that goes for the button.
a flash/flex application for turning wiki Google like mark up into html. In actionscript and mxml. Is there anything like that?When do you need such thing? - you need it when you create an app for some multiple editors at the same time to work on one document, probably on same line and share ideas while live wideo charting. Such app can be done using as3 and Red5 for exalmple...
I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

I've build a simple twitter feed flash application that uses php script to read the latest tweet from xml and returns the string to flash to be displayed in a text box. However, I was wondering if there is some easy way to make the url in the tweet an active link? [URL]
Trying to recognize urls from an xml text (as1) I have not access to edit the xml.The url is loaded as string, ex: "lorem ipsum dolor sThe url is not always at the end of the stringI'm loading it and showing as htmlText, but the url is not likeable (coz have no tags T.T )using split and join i got:

I've got a few areas where I'm displaying XML driven content in Flash. I'd like then to be able to have links shown as well so the user can continue to navigate the page. How do I add an HTML link in the XML so that it displays properly in Flash? Does something need to be added to the ActionScript or is it all done in the XML?
HTML Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {
as we are using in html<a href="#one> abc </a>ref. to<a name=one></a>xyzso that when click on abc, goes to text - xyz.in flash (as2)if we have a button (linked with a html file)and on click - we want to open html and go to directly on text - xyzin which way we have to give link on that button.(whats the idea for this)
I have a box and is assigned as a button. In AS2 would be something like this: getURL("urltoload", "target"); But I am doing it in AS3, so I can learn more. I just want to add a HTML link, so when someone clicks on the box, a different page will load in the same browser, no pop-ups.
I'm working on the drop down menu with xml (from this site - [URL]), and I need to link to specific frames in my flash file, but it seems to be in html, is this possible to do?Or if not, I am building this drop down menu by hand and my actionscript looks like this:
//when you initialize your buttons set them to invisible like this stars._visible = false; starsa._visible = false; stars1._visible = false;
[code]....
and this is only from 3 buttons,I have 2 choices but I would like to know the better, more easier route.
what do I need to do if I'm using web_txt.text to load in xml.

I'll have an swf that I'd like to open up as a popup from an html link. I've been searching the forum, but most similar questions are to go from flash to html.
Is it possible to make a link with a .swf flash file, using swfObject? I would like the entire video to be a clickable link... I'm out of ideas on how to make it happen., on the left thumbnails, do you see how they got a swf object to be a link?Anyone know the principle behind this? How would I do it? It seems like however I lay a div over the flash, my browser will not respond to the click.dit: I cannot make a link directly in the flash file, because 1. I dont have the project file 2. I need to echo PHP code in the link
I have my files organized in various directories on the server. If I'm in Directory A, how do I link to a file in Directory B? I know how to drill down into a directory using forward slashes, but I can't recall how to drill back up (or however you say it).
How do I rewrite this so that my button links to the PDF in a separate directory?
on (release) { getURL("DirectoryA/bio.pdf","blank"); }
