• Load external text in Adobe animate CC

  Hello!

  I am interested to load external text in a HTML5 Canvas with Adobe animate.

  This text should be bold and italic tags too.

  Any help?

  Concerning

  [Ask in the correct forum allows... Left generic Cloud/Setup forum for forum specific program... MOD]

  Of course, you can load data in the form of XML or JS files. JS (via the injected script tag) has the advantage of working from the local file system, while XML (via XMLHttpRequest) works for a web server.

  However, you won't be able to display any bold/italic formatting by using the native Flash text objects online. To do this, you superimpose native text HTML elements on the stage.

  Here is a simple example of loading an XML file:

  // load XML file
  var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
  req.open("GET", "test.xml", true);
  req.addEventListener("load", transferComplete);
  req.send();
  
  function transferComplete(e) {
      var rawXML = e.target.response;
      console.log(rawXML);
  }
  

• XML - text form loading external text contains special characters

  Hi @ all...

  in my projects, I often use xml files to load external text that I can format it in css and it worked fine until now...

  I have a site that I am prograaming in Italian and German and in both languages, there are amount of text that contains special characters like ' to' 'o'' 'e' 'u' 'a' 'u' and so on... the problem is that when I write a text with characters in xml file when the text is loaded into this flash of special characters are not recognized , and instead of them appears a small square...

  I tried to load the text from a html instead of an XML file (because in HTML, I know how to write these special characters and let them display right in my pages html... for example = & agrave; but not way... the flash now loades the text & agrave; instead of to...)

  How can I solve this problem?

  a big thanks to everyone!

  Hello

  You should probably incorporate the fonts that you use in your FLA file before you publish the SWF file. Just go through the steps in the video @ http://blip.tv/file/2357619 if that helps.

  Thank you!

• Active layer reference as the index when loading external text file

  I have a series of text animations, and I want to be able to load the content of the text for the layer of an eternal file.

  It is referenced in many places (I saw him here external text of Pro video Coalition - Expression Shorts - read the Document by David Torno), and the script is usually as follows:

  try {}

  myPath = "~ / Desktop/source.txt ';

  $.evalFile (myPath);

  eval (thisComp.Name) [0];

  } catch (err) {}

  "MISSING."

  }

  In this case, the layer is always array index-, so I would be able to replace the specific reference to the array index by a reference to the current number of layer. This allows a simple duplication of the expression rather than having to change each term individually for each layer. I think that the property that I need index - but it does not work! Or not the way I use it anyway.

  It is (a) of the terms I've tried

  eval (thisComp.Name) [thisComp.index];

  On layer 9 the error indicates the property! or method named 9 in the Array class is missing etc - so index 9 is interpreted correctly, but I use it wrong.

  Resolved, with the help of this post Re: disorder of the eval expression

  Solution - without the try catch block is as follows (including some debugging... stuff):

  myPath = "~ / Desktop/source.txt ';

  $.evalFile (myPath);

  myLayer = index;

  "result:" + myLayer;

  typeof (myLayer);

  myArray = eval (thisComp.name);

  myArray [myLayer];

• CSS to dynamically loaded external text

  I'm outwardly loading text from a .txt file. I need to format this file using CSS. I have the CSS file, set up and everything. I tried every tutorial I can find to try to load the CSS, but nothing works.

  Here is the script to load text:

  var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("content_files/commissions.txt");

  textLoader.load (textReq);
  textLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, textLoadComplete);

  function textLoadComplete(event:Event):void
  {
  commissionscontent.htmlText = textLoader.data;
  commissionscontent.htmlText = textLoader.data.split("\r\n").join("\n");
  If (commissionscontent.maxScrollV < = 1) {}
  scrollBox_mc.visible = false;
  scrollLine.visible = false;
  }
  else {scrollBox_mc.visible = true;
  scrollLine.visible = true ;}
  }

  Can someone help me load the CSS for it? I am really new Flash and have just been teaching myself, with the exception of now I hit a wall and I am so incredibly frustrated that it's not even funny.

  var css_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  var my_css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
  var my_txt:TextField = new TextField();

  css_loader. Load (new URLRequest ("style.css"));
  css_loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onCSSComplete);
  function onCSSComplete(e:Event):void {}
  my_css.parseCSS (e.Target.Data);
  textLoader.load (new URLRequest ("commissions.txt"));
  }

  textLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, textLoadComplete);
  function textLoadComplete(e:Event):void {}
  my_txt. StyleSheet = my_css;
  my_txt.htmlText = e.Target.Data;
  addChild (my_txt);
  my_txt. Width = 300;
  my_txt. AutoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.Left;
  my_txt.WordWrap = true;

• loading external text

  I am trying to write a function which take the url of the file in the swf file and return its contents into a string, here is my code.

  private function loadExternalText(fileName:String): String {}

  var done: Boolean = false;

  var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, isdone);

  int isdone(event:Event): void {}

  = true;

       }

  var request: URLRequest = new URLRequest (fileName);

  loader.load (requested);

  While (! result) {} / / wait for the charger to

  return loader.data;

  }

  But when I test flash allows it to operate for 15 seconds before end because it takes too much time. She must be infinite loop since the file in that I'm testing has only 3 words. The error is not that the placement/file naming is not going, I checked for it already. Any ideas?

  The return must be inside the function handler instead of your variable on true definition.  In this way it will treat after loading is complete.  In addition, not recommended not to nest a function called within functions. You might want to rethink your approach to return a value and just, regardless of the assigned return target data in the COMPLETE handler function.

• How to load additional external texts?

  It's my texts external loading:

  //Loading external texts
  var slideXTween:Tween;
  var txtAlphaTween:Tween;
  var txtNextText:Tween;
  var txtContainer:Sprite;
  var txtField:TextField = new TextField();
  var textRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("happyHoliday.txt");
  var textLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  //end of loading external texts

  How to use this same code to load a second file .txt after that one is responsible and the motion tween is complete? I don't want to rewrite the whole code to other files to load.

  Thanks for any help.

  use:

  TweenLite.to(txtField, 30, {x:-stage.stageWidth*2.25, ease:None.easeInOut, delay:0.5, onComplete:myFunction});function myFunction():void {    textLoad.load(new URLRequest("inspiration.txt"));    TweenLite.to(txtField, 30, {x:-stage.stageWidth, ease:None.easeInOut, delay:0.5, onComplete:nextText});    trace("tween finished");}function nextText():void{    trace("tween done");}
  

• External text does not load

  Hi all
  I'm sorry if this is posted twice. I tried to improve my original description of the problem, and
  
  I have two sovereign wealth funds, a master and a file connection. As sovereign wealth funds, the words of a file is loaded into the master swf through a movie clip loader. In the file, I want to load external text in a text box. The problem is when the text box is inside a clip, it does not work. And I need it to work, because I want the text to load at some point during the clip. To load the text, I use this code in frame 1 of the master.swf:
  
  -load vars >-------.
  var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
  
  myLV.onLoad = function (success: Boolean) {}
  If (success) {}
  _level5.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
  } else {}
  _level5.loadedInfo.text = "It has been a loading error the requested information.";
  }
  }
  -< / load vars >-------.
  
  And in frame 1 of about.swf:
  
  _level0.myLV.load("VARs/about.txt");
  
  You can download my FLAs and the text file to goldinroute.com/macgregor/help.zip
  
  Click on 'About' in the menu. See how this text area appears (which is irrelevant) but nothing appears? The "dummy" working text box has the same instance as the other name, but the other is inside the clip 'boxmovie', while the dummy box is mounted on the stage of the remarks. Ideas? Help would be VERY appreciated. I was banging my head against a wall for about 2 days now.

• How to import the external text file lines?

  Hello

  I was faced with files external text for quite a long time now. I have a lot of text, and that's why I think I should consider from an external file for easier mounting and of course cleaner code.

  For example:

  week.txt

  Monday is a good day.

  Tuesday's too.

  Wednesday is also.

  Thursday is not.

  Friday is maybe.

  Saturday is maybe not.

  Sunday is without doubt.

  I should have a code that will somehow take advantage of these lines, independently of each other and show them a (first of all the first line, second to the second, the third time to the third line...) whenever I call for a function. I know I can probably use \n for line ends where term but I don't know how to do it. Processor is not something I do often.

  Also I'm not sure if it's a good way to handle this situation, but again, I would like to know how to do this.

  I'm not asking for the code on the right (although of course I also would appreciate) but a few tips that will help me get closer to how to proceed.

  The simplest method is to use URLLoader. Something like this should help you get started:

  var l:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  l.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loaded);

  l.Load (new URLRequest ("week.txt"));

  function loaded(e:Event):void

  {

  ("var a: Array = String(l.data).split("\n ");

  trace (a.Length);

  trace (a [0]);

  }

• 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.

• Ampersand in external text file question

  I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external text file that updates a customer themselves (from a web site that generates the file). There was a problem when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way to get around this? I have not seen a way to escape from what works.

  Neve

  Oops.  My apologies.  Ampersand is 26% not % 36.

• Loading external video Clips

  Here's what I do. My main timeline includes 3 "pages/mc. One is called index, which is just the basic design. The other is called ssfp_mc. Ssfp_mc has a loader_mc that loads external SWF in the 'content' section.
  
  Here's the problem:
  
  In the external swf that is loaded into the loader_mc, there is an another content_mc which contains 3 things:
  1 us.
  2. dynamic text (scrolling)
  3 buttons to control the scrolling
  
  When the external swf file is loaded to the dynamic text does not appear. The border comes and buttons appear, but the text is empty.
  
  I have therefore two .fla files ssfp.fla and ssfphome.fla (external swf). When I saw the ssfphome.fla the movie plays correctly and my text is there. It is only when I saw the ssfp.fla and load ssfphome.swf as the text disappears.
  
  Can someone help me please?
  
  Thank you

• Loading external data to a table syntax error

  I'm trying to load some data from an external text file in a table. I created a table and can't seem to load the data into a table, if I explicitly say something like
  
  
  ActionScript code:
  Array [0] = event.target.data.uid1_name;
  
  I can then do a trace statement on array [0] and it will display the correct name of the file. My problem is that I try to browse the variable names in the text file in the file by using an index variable. This is the code I use after all the URLloader, URLRequest and so on things:
  
  
  ActionScript code:
  for (var i = 0; i < 20; i ++) {}
  fArray _name = event.target.data.uid;
  }
  
  It produces a syntax error. I tried several other variations of syntax but have not been able to understand.
  
  I also tried the following:
  
  = event.target.data fArray ["uid" + i + "_name"];
  fArray = event.target.data. ["uid" + i + "_name"];
  = event.target.data fArray. "" uid "+ i +"_name ";
  
  All three of those who also give me errors. For the first, education outputs trace "undefinded" instead of "Doug." For the second, I get 'syntax error. Expecting identifier before left hook. " And for the third, I get "syntax error, expecting to identify before uid.":
  
  Any thoughts on the syntax to iterate the number after uid (uid1_name, uid2_name, uid3_name, etc.)?

  This one:
  fArray [i] = event.target.data ["uid" + i + "_name"];

  is probably the one you want.

  But I suspect that your uid # _Nom variable start at 1, because it works:
  Array [0] = event.target.data.uid1_name;

  so, try:
  fArray [i] = event.target.data ["uid" +(i+1) + "_name"];

• Problem with loading external swf files

  Hello

  I am currently working on a project which is an interactive and dynamic elemtry school presentation to the Denmark. I finished my project and it works perfectly, but only locally on my computer.

  The final draft should be implemented on the site and public work. I tried to implement the project on the site and unfortunately, it does not work as expected.

  When all the files where transferred to the ftp server, only a single files are responding and appear correctly.

  Interactivity of the project is based on a structure of Action script, which is based on the smooth transition between swf files (load another swf file after the action is triggered by clicking on a button) do any work.

  After days of trying to figure out the solution, I'm totally lost. One thing is to publish the project so that all action script will work and answer between swf files, and the other thing is to make it user-friendly for the Android and apple products.

  The presentation is quite heavy because of its loading external swf content files, which are images and movies.

  I really hope you can help me with my problem. I will gladly share the files and codes if it would help solve the problem.

  Best regards

  Agata

  It could be a problem of location of file from loading.  When you place a swf file in an HTML base for targeting anything that the SWF load becomes the folder of the html page.  You may need to adjust the target so that the target of swf files, load it as if it were in the same folder as the html page.
