I'm almost too embarrased to ask about how to import a text (.txt or .doc) into Flash but how?I've been working on the computer too long since 8:30 this morning or maybe I've worked in Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop for 20+ years and know them inside and out but am still learning the different ways that Flash handles things.

! I just did the Kirupa XML tutorial (for Flash MX) and ... I actually understand! But now I need to change a few things.. and I haven't got a clue. Right now, I know how to import text from an XML file into different text boxes. But, what I need to do, is be able to import text regardless of how many text boxes my FLA file has.

View 1 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. To be more specific it must be used for an infoboard, and people shold be able to change the "guests_today.txt" and then the guest list should roll over the display, over and over again.

View 1 RepliesI have a text file that holds names. I want to import the variables from the text file.I can do that, but I also want to create a loop that will iterate through the text file and create the variables.

Here is the Code that i use for the time countdown:

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 am using Flash CS5 to generate an array of the notes in a midi file. Basically I store data such as time of the note, note duration, pitch, scale, volume, etc.I have 2 questions:How can I export all these data in order to use it in after effects (as a txt file? other formats?);How do I use the exported file in After Effects later on: How do I tell After Effects when to start playing a note in a specific time? how do I associate note height with a specific feature (lets say - square width) - and so on.I DO know some basic coding in after effect (how to associate elements inside After - such as volume and opacity) but I need to understand how to deal with an exported file (and in which format to generate it).
View 1 RepliesYou can import Text Files into Flex. It's a web application [SWF] that runs in Flash player. And the source may be any text file [.txt, .xml, .as, .js or any other] with content viewable in Notepad. You can as well point to your source file using \ notation. For complete code, see

This is my first experience with PHP, so bare with me. I've made an Ecard using Flash and Dreamweaver. On the Ecard is a form to fill out, your name, your email, a comment, and the name and email to the person you are sending the ecard to.[URL].. When you push the "Submit"-button it sends an email to the receiver, and it creates a .txt file on my server with the info.
The .txt-file has a unique name generated by:
$mailCount = $_POST['me_count'];
$senderName = $_POST['me_name'];
$senderEmail= $_POST['me_email'];

I couldn't find a good, clear question and answer for this in StackExchange, so I'll pose this as clearly as I can and hopefully get a clear, concise answer.Suppose I have a .txt* file with variables for a bunch of objects of one type that I was to load into an ActionScript 3 program. I can use an import statement such as:
[Embed(source="test.txt",mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var testFile:Class;
for some of the places where I need to do this, but I also need to know how it's different for files chosen by the user from their local hard drive.n code, how can I convert this file, testFile:Class into an array, result:Array, of strings?*: If you have a solution using .xml or another format, please also include a sample of what the file's contents would look like and how you would get them into variables within AS3Edit: Below is a quick example file I threw together, test.txt:

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?

i am trying this:
open google docs, new document, and type in: hello world (world bolded)
then download it as html(zipped)
i unzip the html file, and save it to the assets folder in src folder of my Flex app
i have a Spark:TextArea instance and i want to do:
var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
myTextArea.textFlow = importer.importToFlow(htmlSource);
where htmlSource should point to the saved html file somehow
how do i do this? i tryed embedding, converting to ByteArrayAsset and to String, but i always get the source of the html file and not it's rendered rich text (ie "hello world).

I have 5 text files that contain a list of 50 items in each file.
I want to bring that information into a datagrid; 1 column per text file. I'd also like to extend the code to add more columns when new files are created.
I was able to bring in one column, but maybe an approach with xml, an xml connector and dataset would be better.
Here is the code so far:
Code:
var PATH:String = "10-12-09.txt";
var extIndex:Number = PATH.lastIndexOf( '.' );
var extless:String = PATH.substr( 0, extIndex );
