• Alpha, content and dynamic text field

  Hello.
  
  I have a MovieClip (mcContainer) that contains a dynamic text field (txt1), which was created directly on the stage. Then I added some text to the text box with:
  
  this.mcContainer.txt1.text = 'my wonderful text ";
  
  When I change the mcContainer alpha, alpha of the text does not change. So, what I am doing wrong?
  
  Thank you in advance.

  you need to incorporate your policy to apply a change to the _alpha of a textfield.

• How I set the value of a dynamic text field row

  I have a repeated line form that contains a button and several text fields.  There is a text field (input field) above with some information I want to place in the table and several buttons that I want to read the value of and defined on the table.  Excuse me there are several questions I have and I use pseudocode to describe.

  Top shape resembles

  InputField

  | ButtonX1 | ButtonY1 | DescriptionX1 (read the text only field)

  ...

  | ButtonXn | ButtonY1 | DescriptionXn

  OutputRow looks like

  | ButtonOutput | OutputField1 | OutputField2 | OutputField3 |

  So, I want to do

  ButtonX1.click

  {

  OutputTable.OutputRow.addInstance (true) //this works - everything I have questions on

  OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField1.rawValue = DescriptionX1.rawValue

  /*

  Question 1

  How should I address the location of each table to set a value

  Question 2

  How can I get the value of the description field in the same row as button and table

  I would like to say something to the effect of the OutputTable.OutputRow [?]. OutputField1.rawValue = this.parent.DescriptionX

  */

  OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField2 = InputField.rawValue

  /*

  Same question as above - how can I specify a dynamic line - it's the syntax appropriate for obtaining the value of the input field?

  */

  OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField3 is this. ButtonLabel

  /*

  Question 3

  How can I get the value of the label of the button to set the field

  There should be a lot of these buttons and buttons will be added - I'd rather set the value based on the label of the button to facilitate value - not requiring only not to change the code

  Is it possible to build the first table

  | ButtonX | ButtonY | Description |

  from a XML file.  I've seen examples showing how to build if it's just data, but XML can be pushed into a form with the code to perform the above actions?

  Glad you figured it out... nothing wrong with doing it this way.

  Normally XML contains data and no default legends these xml files are bouond to the rawValue property. You can enable the dynamic linking and other properties of the object will be bindable (they appear as links) in the user interface. If you click on the link to legend an Assistant appears allowing you to bind the node in the XML file.

• Value of the increment of a dynamic text field

  Hi all
  
  I have a question probably very easy (but I am very new to flash and actionscripting). In any case, here's the deal.
  
  Having a text box dynamic (I just created it using the text tool and replace the dynamic type). The instance is called HelpRequestText. What I need to do, is to start at 0 of frame 1. Then repeatedly through the film, have this incremented value of 1 by a schedule I (for example at minute 02:24 it goes up, then again at 04:18, etc..). In addition, there are three buttons, and when the user clicks on one of them, I need this value to increment by 1 in the immediate future.
  
  So I guess that the two questions are - 1) how I put the text file to zero, then update on a schedule of keyframe I laid out?
  
  (2) how can I get the buttons to increment by 1 when they are clicked?
  
  Thanks for your help!

  My problem was that I was getting a NaN value. I think it was because the buttons are on their own time inside a clip online (so I can do stuff with them). I struggled with the global variables, until I realized that you don't declare it like a normal variable. Instead of:
  _global var. $myvariable, that you use:
  _Global. MyVariable. in any case, it works perfectly now.

  What I did this:

  1) REPLACE ASSISTANCE REQUESTED NUMBER WITH a TEXT DYNAMIC BOX TWO FINGERS OFF WITH INSTANCE NAME HelpRequestText
  --> copy in place through keyframes on this layer

  (2) ADD THIS TO EACH HELP BUTTON:
  _Global.testvar = _global.testvar + 1;
  _root. HelpRequestText.text = _global.testvar;

  3) ADD TO THE TIMELINE OF THE HAND AT THE BEGINNING

  _Global.testvar = 0;
  HelpRequestText.text = _global.testvar;

  4) ADD TO THE TIMELINE OF THE HAND ON 'INCREASE IN AID' FRAMES:
  _Global.testvar = _global.testvar + 1;
  HelpRequestText.text = _global.testvar;

  Great! Now I have to go and difficulty 8 movies and recompile them zinc. Ugh. Thanks for your help!

  Among the requirements of the project, I must provide functionality in my application to be able to change the color of the text box selection.

However, it does not work on Mac OS x. I use Flash 8 with ACE 2.0 for development.

• Disable the scroll bar when no overflow in the dynamic text field

  I use the UIScrollBar on a dynamic text field. I would like to make the scroll bar is not visible or turn it off if there are no more rows to display when initially displayed. Are there variables in a pile of data L0 I can check to see if the scroll bar can be disabled; 'lines of total in the text field' and 'lines per page' either, something that accomplishes the same thing?

  You can use the textfields maxscroll property to determine if a textfield can display all its text without scrolling.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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
  }

• 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?

• problem by turning the dynamic text field

  Hi all

  In an application, I created a dynamic text field and then try to shoot with the _rotation method but it became invisible. Please respond if anyone knows something about this.

  If you do not see your text, you're not embed fonts.

  When you use actionscript to embed a font, you must have the fonts in your library with a connection id, create a textformat instance and assign the property and finally give the textformat to your textfield.  for example

  _root.createTextField ("txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth (), 50,50,50, 50);
  _root.txt.embedFonts = true;
  _root.txt.text = "Hello";
  _root.txt._rotation = 20;

  var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

  Tfor.font = "yourfontslinkageid";   // <- linkage="" id="" of="" font="" in="" your="">

  _root.txt.setTextFormat (Tfor);

• Display of the current year in a dynamic text field

  I have a project where I have to click a button and and the current year to display in the form YYYY in a dynamic text field.  My current code was written as:

  var myDate:Date = new Date();

  function whatYear(e:MouseEvent):void {}
  display_txt. Text = myDate.getFullYear ();
  }

  date_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whatYear);

  I get an Error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of number type to a type unrelated to String.

  I also have to create one for the current date.

  Any sugessetions? I have tried everything I can thing of, but I'm new to AS3.

  Thank you!

  Try:

  display_txt. Text = myDate.getFullYear (m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());

  or

  display_txt. Text = String (myDate.getFullYear ());

  or

  display_txt. Text = "" + myDate.getFullYear ();

• Dynamic text field showing only the number 2.

  I am writing a scrolling shooting game and I have a dynamic text field that keeps the score.  Running inside an ENTER_FRAME event listener, it updates all the images.  By tracing the variable "score", I get the good numbers appearing in the output tab, but on the screen, I see only the number 2. It doesn't matter what position in the number, it is (ie: 20, or 10372 or 521), this digit will be displayed.  If there is no number 2 in the partition, the field shows that the word "" Score: "."

  The variable is declared as such:

  var score: int = 0;

  "The text field is called scorecard and is set to"Classic text"and a dynamic text ' and it's 638 pixels wide (almost the entire width of the scene).

  Here's the code to update the scorecard:

  scoreCard.text = "Note:" + score.

  trace (score);

  The track was simply put in to see if the score was being counted until properly, what is.

  I also tried to eliminate "Score:" and simply used:

  scoreCard.text = score.toString ();

  and got the same results.

  Any ideas of what could be the cause?  From everything I've read, this method should work.

• 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

  }
