• How could I add together the numerical values in the dynamic text boxes?

  I do an application and I currently have sections such as travel, rent, etc., where you can press one of two buttons to increase or decrease the total number (fresh) for this article. All totals are displayed in the dynamic text boxes - here is an example of the code for a section-

  var FoodAndDrink:Number = 0;

  button1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Add);

  function Add(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  Repasetboissons += 1;

  trace (FoodAndDrink);

  FoodAndDrink_txt.text = "£" + FoodAndDrink;

  }

  button2_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, subtraction);

  function Subtract(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  Repasetboissons-= 1;

  If (repasetboissons < 0) {}

  Repasetboissons = 0;

  }

  trace (FoodAndDrink);

  FoodAndDrink_txt.text = "£" + FoodAndDrink;

  Does anyone know how I would go all add up all the sections so that the total is in a box and changes based on the total entered in each section?

  Thank you

  then use:

  import flash.events.MouseEvent;

  var FoodAndDrink:Number = 0;

  button1_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Add);

  function Add(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  Repasetboissons += 1;

• Load the Image of the URL entered in the dynamic text box

  I have an area of dynamic text (image_in) to receive a URL entry of an image to be loaded into a clip (peak) when you press a button (b_load).

  I can't make it work, the code seems pretty simple:

  var image_url:String = image_in.text;

  b_load.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, Load_URL);

  function Load_URL(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  var i = new Loader();

  i.Load (new URLRequest (image_url));

  pic.addChild (i)

  }

  This code gives me: #2044 Error: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. Text = Error #2035: URL not found.

  This code works when I declare the var as a URL:

  var image_url:String = " " http://website.com/image.jpg ";

  
  

  What is the difference if I go http://website.com/image.jpg in the dynamic text field? What's wrong?

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  
  

  You declare the image_url variable after the dynamic text? If this isn't the case, then the value of this variable will be an empty string. Set the variable inside the function declaration, and it should work as expected.

• Value display trace in the dynamic text box

  Hey just work on an exercise and I can't understand the code to display the value of the trace in a dynamic text box.

  The following code generates exactly where I am at this time.

  Import 12345678910111213import;

  import flash.text.TextField;

  Basic color picker (based pixel)

  var myColourBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData (500 400, false, 0xFFFFFF * Math.random ());

  var myColourBitmapImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap (myColourBitmapData);

  Add to list

  addChild (myColourBitmapImage); Add to the scene

  Get colors

  var pixelValue:uint = myColourBitmapData.getPixel (85,62); color of the pixel at X, Y

  displayed in the output window

  trace (pixelValue.toString (16)); toString (16) converts uint in a number of Hexadecimel format

  Here are a few screens, I want the values of trace output to appear next to the text in the dynamic text box

  

  

  I'm not sure of how to call the pixelValue to my text box, any help would be appreciated!

  Before or after the line that begins with «trace...» ' set dynamicTextFieldInstanceName.text = pixelValue.toString (16); Replace dynamicTextFieldInstanceName with the actual name that you gave to the dynamic textfield.

  There is an error in your output window. It seems that you have not integrated a font in the dynamic textField.

• Add background color to the dynamic text boxes

  Is this possible?  Basically, I want to make the bottom of the dynamic text box have a color.  How can I do this using AS3?

  If your textfield reference name tf, use:

  TF. Background = true;

  tf.backgroundColor = 0xrrggbb;

• Problems with the formatting of the dynamic text box

  I'm under the questions with the help of HTML formatting for a dynamic text field. I know these are weird and I can't understand how to get the formatting right.

  I have on my scene a dynamic text called «content_txt' inside a movie clip instance «content_mc» box When he enters the frame, I just broke down the "content_mc" of the alpha of 0 to 100 with a scenario animation. So that this works, I have to incorporate the police in my text field 'content_txt '. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed fonts.

  The dynamic text field is configured to render as HTML. In my layer actions, I put the text:

  this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."

  In summary:

  1. If I do not embed fonts, the alpha fade does not work but HTML formatting doesn't.

  2. If I incorporate police, the alpha fade works but HTML formatting does not work.

  How to solve this? It's driving me crazy!

  then you're not g-d instructions.

  You should have two textfields.  the one on the boards that you started with and that incorporates your normal font (not bold).  and a slide that takes the same family of fonts with license "BOLD".  Repeat the test.

• Static text is much better than the dynamic text with the same font settings

  Hello

  I have exactly the same parameters for static and dynamic text, but the static text seems much sharper. Someone knows why?

  Police: Trebuchet MS

  Size: 30 pt

  Anti-alias for readability

  There is a slight difference, but I would not say much better. Incorporate you the dynamic text characters.

• Align the text in the dynamic text using HTML box

  Hello
  
  I'm importing text to mysql through php, for an area of dynamic text in flash. I can't text from column 2 to align to the left. It comes out like this:
  Column 1 column 2
  James Kearns
  Mary Peterson
  Thomas Clark
  
  The php code I have is:
  print ("& dbpages =");
  While ($row = {mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))}
  Print "< table >. $row ["FirstName"]. "". "< tr > < td align = left > '." $row ['name']. "< table > < /tr > < / table >". " » \n » ;
  }
  
  The AS code is:
  
  Where database_txt is the dynamic text box.
  How can I align column 2?
  
  Thank you
  Paul
  

  Thanks for your comments.
  I used the tag to format text and solved the problem. In the PHP code I used the tab stops \t. It aligns data in Flash.
  PHP code should now be:
  Print ("& dbpages =");
  While ($row = {mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))}
  Print "\t".$row['first_name"]. '\t'.» $row ['name']. » \n » ;
  }

  The Flash code is now:

  var resultPages_LV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
  resultPages_LV.onLoad = function (success: Boolean) {}
  If (success) {}
  var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  myformat.tabStops = [20 140];
  database_txt.htmlText = true;
  database_txt.htmlText = resultPages_LV.dbpages;
  database_txt.setTextFormat (myFormat);
  }

• Get the width of the dynamic text boxes containing different letters

  I have boxes of dynamic text next to each other, each showing a letter and the creation of a Word, any letter English ABC. Given that some letters are wider, how could I get the width of each letter to figure out spacing between them?

  Thank you!!

  You can use the textWidth of textfield property to get the width of the text inside.

• Definition of the size of the image in the dynamic text box

  I have a dynamic text box in which I'm embedding an image.  The following code fills the text box

  infoBox.informationText.htmlText=
       "<font size='16' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerIndex+
       "\n<font size='14' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerDate+
       "<img src='http://jacobull.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/ween.jpg'/>"+
       "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<font size='12' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerDescription;
  

  How set the size of the image in the code above.  I tried to insert the width and height parameters after the path of the image, but an error is generated.  I would like for the width of the image to be as wide as the text of infoBox.informationText Dynamics

  Any suggestions?

  Also the path to each image corresponds to a variable called calledMarkerContent how could put the img src is equal to the variable called calledMarkerContent?

  Hello J,

  If you use a component to scroll, you can eventually use the ScrollPane for movieclips instead.

  The Adobe AS2 components reference:

  " The ScrollPane component to view video clips, the JPEGs and SWFs in a scrollable area. Using a scroll pane, you can limit the amount of space occupied by these types of media screen. The scroll pane can display the content loaded from a local drive or on the Internet. You can set this content during programming and execution with ActionScript. "page 1093 "

  This way you could integrate the area of dynamic text (for your text) both the movieclip (which has the text for your image inside box) that you can then scale them both in an another movieclip (parent), you use the ScrollPane component on.

  This way your text in dynamic text field dimensionnera not, the image can be scaleed to the size of what ever you like (dynamically) and if the two are sitting in a parent movieclip, this parent movieclip may have a ScrollPane component on it.

  How does that sound?

  Best regards

  Chris

• The call of the dynamic text file javascript function

  This is probably a fairly easy problem, but it seems to be confusing me. I have a JavaScript function just opens a new window, wrote a little html and captures an image to place in the window. The javascript is on the page my .swf into flash. It looks like this:
  
  < script type = "text/JavaScript" >
  <!--
  function newWindowLand (picWinLand) {}
  bigpicWindowLand = window.open (", ' picWinLand ',' height = 500, width is 660, scrollbars = no, status = yes, resizable = no" ")
  bigpicWindowLand.document.write ("image window test < html > < head > < title > < /titre > < body bgcolor = #FFFFFF leftmargin = 0 topmargin = 0 marginWidth = 0 marginheight = 0 > < Center > < img src =" + picWinLand + "height = 480 width = 640 border = 0 > < / html >" "")
  bigpicWindowLand.document.close)
  bigpicWindowLand.focus)
  }
  ->
  < /script >
  
  I got this link in my html page:
  
  (< a href="javascript:;newWindowLand('static_images/news/test_image.jpg')" > link < /a > test "
  
  and it works very well. I then pasted this link in my dynamic text file that loads into my .swf, and nothing happens. I see the text "test" and it seems to be clickable, but if we click on it I get nothing. Am I missing something really obvious here? TIA...

  I got mine to work. The problem was the ":;" in my anchor tag original-just need to be a colon by itself. I got it in fact that at the beginning, but my test showed that it works because of the new security with Flash 8 gibberish. As soon as I downloaded everything and lived test everything has worked well...

• 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.

• Get the content of the dynamic text

  I have a dynamic text 'Home_btn' with the 'Home', 'Preview_btn' content 'Preview' content and so on...

  I have another dynamic text 'title_txt' and I need to get content txt of the buttons to change the "Title_txt' when the button was clicked.

  my code...

  function clickBtn(evtObj:MouseEvent) {}

  title_txt. Text = evtObj.Target.Name;

  }

  but this, get the name of the event target.

  Can someone help me?

  If you mean you want the text inside the buttons to display in your title_txt, then target the textfield object.  Each button must have the same name for the textfield object so that you can target any of them...

  function clickBtn(evtObj:MouseEvent) {}

  title_txt. Text = MovieClip (evtObj.currentTarget).textfieldName.text;

  }

  where textfieldName is any name assign you to the textfield object

• Tween changes the dynamic text

  I have a dynamic text that is the subject of a motion tween. Before the start of the Tween I assign a new text value. Now, I noticed that in both the first and the last keyframe interpolation the text value is reset to the value of design time. Is there a way to avoid this, so that it keeps the newly assigned value?

  TIA

  Steven

  If you are tweening textfield itself, you should find that he now lives inside a (graphic) symbol in your keyframes interpolation such that the code you assigned to the textfield before interpolation does not affect that is involved with interpolation.  Place the textfield inside a movielcip and tween the movieclip to work around this problem.
