• Assign the XML content to dynamic text fields

  Hey there,

  After the search in the forums, I found that I can load files XML and content to animate CC using the XMLHttpRequest, but how do I load content in a specific dynamic text field?

  I found a few answers that confirm that we should use XMLHttpRequest and some users who made it work, but not how. Any help would be much appreciated.

  Below is how I added the request and how the dynamic field has been implemented.

  This.frame_0 = function() {}

  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {}

  If (xhttp.readyState == 4 & & xhttp.status == 200) {}

  myFunction (xhttp);

  }

  };

  xhttp. Open ("GET","profil.xml", true);

  xhttp. Send();

  Function myFunction (xml) {}

  var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;

  document.getElementsByTagName("nameTextField").innerHTML = / * this part is not correct, but so far I have found no better solution * /.

  xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName ("title") [0] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [0] .nodeValue;

  }

  }

  And for the text field (created by animate CC):

  	this.nameTextField is new syc. Text ("", "53px 'Arial'");
  	this.nameTextField.name = "nameTextField";
  	this.nameTextField.textAlign = 'center ';
  	this.nameTextField.lineHeight = 61;
  	this.nameTextField.lineWidth = 388;
  	this.nameTextField.setTransform (265,124.4);

  this.timeline.addTween (syc. Tween.get (this.nameTextField). Wait (2));

  I really hope someone can help, I spent hours looking and trying solutions.

  See you soon,.

  As already said:

  this.mydynamictextfield.text = "hello I am text in a dynamic text field";
  

  If you need really, really specific, it would be in this case:

  this.mydynamictextfield.text = animals[0];
  

• Flash CS5 glitch with setChildIndex and dynamic text fields?

  Since the upgrade to CS5 to have two distinct problems.

  I have a clip with 5 images.  When I'm on frame 3 (main game) and I use the command setChildIndex on one on-screen element existing on the framework itself, the item in question will now be added to permenantly stage and will persist through the management remaining (end and end the game).  This behavior was not present in the project until I converted it to CS5.  If I remove the setChildIndex command, the on-screen elements stop their depth of sorting (as your would expect) and they bleed is more in the next section, which is at the end of the level.

  I also have problems with a dynamic text field.  It is currently set to don't not selectable, but when you hover over the field it shows the symbol for the pointer of your mouse cursor, and when you click it, a highlight of small block appears to the left or to the right of the field.  You cannot change the contents of the field, or even select them, but if you try a small black mark selection appears at the end of the field.  I destroyed and recreated this field, and the bahavior seems to remain the same.

  Any other experience of these questions, or something similar with CS5?

  using any actionscript code that adds a DisplayObject instance to the list of display (including the definition of its index) has always caused this behavior.  which is expected.

  to remove this item use removeChild() or removeChildAt().

  to disable the cursor changes during a textfield, assign the property mouseChildren of the parent of the textfield property to false.

• Selector of colors and dynamic text fields

  Hello
  
  Good so I have two problems here, and I don't know how to solve one of them!
  
  Problem 1.
  Change the font of a dynamic text field. I know how to do this with the properties of text etc format using action script, but I don't know how if you create a text field in the action script.
  
  I need to change the font of the text in a dynamic text field that is created and remains on the scene. I have a clip, and inside that movie clip is the text field, with all the content properly shaped. If I had to add the text field using action script I loose all the formatting. So is that nothing at all that I can change the text field properties by using script of action of a dynamic text field created on the stage?
  
  Problem 2.
  The color picker component! I want to use the color selector component to change the color of the text in the above dynamic text box. No doubt, I have the same problem as above, but this side, I can't work out how to draw the color from the color picker value when the user selects. I tried to use the ColorPickerEvent ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE knowledge... and so on. However, I am coding on the frame instead of an external action script file. and when I export the movie, the following error message appears: 1046: Type was not found or is not a constant of compilation: ColorPickerEvent.
  
  Someone at - it ideas how can I remedy this?
  
  Your help will be greatly appreciated, it is part of my studies and have been fighting for a time: S
  
  Many thanks for you help in advance
  
  Jude :D

  I don't know if I understand the problem of text format that you are experiencing. Looks like you want to have text that is already formatted to change to another format.

  If this is the case, simply set the new text format whenever the time comes to do so.

  If you have...

  var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  Format1.font = "arial";
  Format1. Size = 14;

  var format2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  format2.font = "papyrus."
  format2.size = 28;

  Then you can switch between the two formats according to the needs...

  tField.setTextFormat (format1);

  tField.setTextFormat (format2);

  as long as these formats are in the scope of their guest.

• Variables and dynamic text fields

• Try to retrieve the contents of a text field and use it in a conditional statement

  Hello world

  I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo" and the button is called "genOrder".

  Initially, the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text with an appropriate order number field.

  I have need to check the text field for the data (content) before you write the order number, in this way, if an order number is already present in the text field, it will be over written.

  My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the tests, but I do not know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if the content is present!).

  If anyone can suggest how I can go about extracting the contents of a text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  DAVO

  currentOrderNo = this.getField("orderNo").value;

  If ("currentOrderNo == null | currentOrderNo ==" ") {}

  the field is empty, fill it with a new value

  } else {}

  the field is not empty, something else

• Dynamic text field

  I created a dynamic text field where I have put in a lot of HTML code.

  Because it is too long, I used a scrollbar by default and simply abandoned on the ground so that it is linked to the.

  When I try the bar is here but I see just the arrow from the top and the bottom; the central part is not visible and I can't scroll down the HTML content.

  Any idea?

• dynamic text field WordWrap is different on screen/print

  I have a strange problem - I put the contents of a dynamic text field (arial font) and he wordwraps somehow on the screen, and then when I print the same text field it encapsulates a little differently.
  
  which means on a textfield can be a line over long print flash think it is is (using textHeight), changing my layout code...
  
  any ideas?

  Stop press! I think I found the cause of problem/solution and that's to do with the smoothing option that I had selected. According to livedocs impression is not supported with advanced and custom anti-aliasing features. but as the anti-alias for animation is the smoothing option 'simple' (IE available prior to flash 8 and advanced anti-aliasing) should hopefully out more systematically (or at least that's what I see in practice).

  so the solution to ensure that the text field has been constantly printed with what was shown on the screen was to change "anti-alias for readability" to "anti-alias for animation".

• Get the value of the drop-down list (selectedIndex) and the text field - does not

  The problem is, it does not take the value that the user selects in the drop-down list and the text field. It takes the default value as "January" and the year is '2013' as these two values are given as selectedIndex:0 and editContents: "2013". I compared the coding with a few other scripts work as well, but it does not work. I added several alert boxes to check the value we get.

  In addition, search for it and change also does not work. Please help me on this. Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Change the order of dialogresults:

  ...

• Dynamic text field not updated to actionscript in the 2nd Frame

  I have a clip with two frames. In the 2nd frame there is a clip that has a text field.

  My goal is to some events that I will be proposing to the frame that has the clip with the text field.

  I'm trying to update the text field with a code something like: -.

  public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

  {

  My goal is to certain events show the clip with the text field

  questBG.gotoAndStop ("glow");

  arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field

  }

  After some time I again back to the framework that has no movie clip masking so the clip

  public void masquer()

  {

  questBG.gotoAndStop ("idle");

  }

  The text field not updated since the actionscript code even if trace (arrowText.text) shows the updated value.

  Now, if I remove the clip of frames & change the updateTxtFld() as

  public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

  {

  (questBG.getChildByName ('arrowBG') as Sprite) .visible = true;

  arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field

  }

  Then it works very well with the updated text in the text field. It seems that there seems to be a problem in dynamic text field update in frames.

  I also checked that the incorporation of text is fine in both cases

  I created the FLAS using CS Professional 5.5 & I am trying to change the text field using actionscript running in Flex Builder 4.7.   Let me know if I need to send the fla (working and non-working version).

  you are the assignment of text to arrowText before the timeline then moves to "shine".

  Use the render event to assign the text:

  public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

  {

  My goal is to certain events show the clip with the text field

  questBG.gotoAndStop ("glow");

  internship. Invalidate();

  this.addEventListener (Event.RENDER, assignTextF);

  }

  function assignTextF(e:Event):void {}
  arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field
  }

• External text of county line dynamic text field

  Hello friends,

  I've done a scroll bar, , but now I have a problem, need to read the number of lines dynamic text field and If it is greater than x show the scrollbar and hide if is less.

  Like this:

  if(Text.instance>7) {}

  ScrollBar._visible = true;

  }

  else {}

  ScrollBar._visible = false;

  }

  My problem is How do I count the total of lines of dynamic text field after load an external text.

  then either:

  1. what you see is not aplicationScroll or

  2. you have more than 1 scrollbar named aplicationScroll or

  3. you have the code runs also change the aplicationScroll to true _visible property.

  Use the movie Explorer to track down your error.

• Dynamic text field will not wrap text

  I have a dynamic text field in my clip. This text field has built-in fonts and behavior is set to Multiline.  When I add text to it, it will not display text that wraps past the first line.

  var textField:TextField = tip_txt; text inside my video field

  trace() "before textField.numLines =" ( + textField.numLines); "."

  textField.text = "test a verrrrry looooooooong striiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggg";

  trace () "after textField.numLines =" ( + textField.numLines); "."

  Track orders show that the number of lines is increasing, but Flash does not display the text beyond the first line.  Anyone have any idea whats going on?

  Thank you!

  textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

  This fixes the issue :))

• Create a script of the class dynamic text field

  Hi all

  I came across a few subjects that relate to t my question but after reading, try different approaches and internet research, I'm still confused. How to create Visual elements, for example a text field, dynamically from Actionscript in a class file?

  Basically, I created a class file that loads an external XML file and now I want to create fields of dynamic text for the items in the XML file. I did some debugging and I know that the XML is properly loaded. I can also get it to create dynamic text fields when I place the code inside the fla. The problem is when the code is in the class file. I read that you must pass the display for the class object, but I'm still not clear on how to do it.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

  My fla has the following code on the first frame:

  Import classes.estimatesheet;

  var sheet1:estimatesheet = new estimatesheet("xml/estimationSheetFields.xml");

  Here's my class file:

  {classes package

  flash.xml import. *;
  import flash.display. *;
  import flash.events. *;
  flash.net import. *;
  import flash.utils. *;
  import flash.text. *;

  public class estimatesheet extends Sprite {}
  
  public var textFields:Array = new Array();
  
  public void estimatesheet (file:String) {}
  
  xmlLoader (file);
  
  }
  
  public void xmlLoader (file:String) {}
  var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
  loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
  Loader.Load (new URLRequest (file));
  }
  
  public void handleComplete(event:Event) {}
  try {}
  var allXml = new XML (event.target.data);
  
  {for each var item: XML (in {allXml.elements ())}
  createSheet (element);
  }
  
  } catch {(e:TypeError)}
  trace ("cannot parse for XML");
  trace (e.message);
  }
  }
  
  public void createSheet(data:XML) {}
  
  var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("Verdana", 11);

  {for each var item: XML (in {data.elements ())}

  var textField:TextField = new TextField();
  textField.setTextFormat (textFormat);
  textField.text = element.@label;
  textField.x = 150 * i;
  textField.y = 150 * I
  stage.addChild (textField);
  i ++ ;
  }

  }
  }

  Each feature display MovieClip, Sprite, TextField, etc. should be added to the display list/stack. The addChild in your class only adds TextFields to the estimatesheet class by using addChild (textField) and adds them to the scene of the film using stage.addChild (textField). Note that the latest works if estimatesheet is added to the movie because if estimatesheet is not added to the film the stage property is zero and you can't add items to something that is null, does not exist. AddChild (estimatesheet) prepares the ground for reference the main movie.

  As for making your class of the document class, you need to rearrange some things in your class and add a way to load the XML file. Things aren't sure how flexible can be.

• Dynamic text field changes color but the bullets are not html text.

  I am tarea to use a dynamic text field to shoot in the html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But don't take the balls on the color assigned to the field. I tried to put in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and no work. Someone can help me. This should be a simple solution, but I'm not... I want my text and bullets to both be white.

  Simple code below. Using html text inside the document flash and presence of a PivotTable field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and green balls, but it does not work, only the text goes green

  This.txt.html = true;

  var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  my_fmt. Color = 0x00FF00; hexadecimal value corresponding to green

  this.txt.htmlText = "< P > This is the first paragraph < /P > < BR > < UL > < LI > Bullet 1 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 2 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 3 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 4 < /LI > < LI > < BR > Bullet 5 < /LI > < /UL >";
  this.txt.setTextFormat (my_fmt);

  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  works for me:

  

  create a new fla and add a textfield, the name of your instance and copy/paste the code that I have proposed.  any problem?
