Loading of dynamic text

Here is the prob...

I created a dynamic text field, and I am loading text from an external file using the following code:
loadVariablesNum("testimonials1a.txt",0);

Works very well...

The problem occurs when I try to place the Flash document in another Flash document, using the following code:
mc_loader.loadMovie ("testimonials.swf");

The loading of the document very well; However, the dynamic text field does not load the text. So, it works as a stand-alone document, but not when it is embedded in another document Flash.

The key is probably in the loadVariablesNum("testimonials1a.txt",0); part of the equation; However, the solution seems to escape me. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, that would be because you target level 0 in the loadVariablesNum method - and when you load the swf file in the 'root' of the doc goes. Although you can always load txt a var at this level - other calls within the testimonials.swf that rely on 'find' this name var - are looking in the wrong place. so in the allocation of text string - remind root to find the var:

my_field. Text = _root.theVar;

  • Load multiple dynamic text files in different settings Maintimeline

    Hello!

    I managed to load an external text in one place a file the maintimeline. I would do the same on other bases.

    TextFields: what I wanted to do, mainly for peace of mind, is to have a layer that I dedicate to actionscript which only has the code frame 1 but it extends along the timeline so that the code is available for each image on any other layer.  In this context, I put the variables and functions that can get used/shared everywhere where they happen be necessary.  I have the habit of creating separate from the other layer for types of actions of actionscript... the stuff that happens at the level of the local framework, like stop(); or as the assignment of a variable a new value, etc... local things to being in this context/location.  So with this in mind

    In frame 1 on my layer shared by all the world, I would probably declare the variable...

    var textReq:URLRequest;

    And when I get to a particular frame where I want to load a new textfield with data, I attribute this value on the layer var local actions...

    textReq = new URLRequest ("text_philosophy.txt");

    with the rest of local implementation concerning the loading of the file, etc...

    ---------------------------------------

    Yes, pretty much, and it becomes an object who owns a House on the timeline, so if you move away from this framework does not follow the swf file.

  • Loading external/dynamic text fields

    I have a recurring problem with my fle flash and it involves add external SWF and dynamic text files.

    Here goes...

    My flash is implemented with 5 sections. Each separate section is composed different maintimeline on frames and labeled. SO, when you click on a section in the navigation bar it tells the movie to access this section labeled on chronology. On each article, there is a space for the external txt file or an external swf. I've done many tutorials on how to load these things and I can actually get them to load when I put the instance of them on the first image with the code of the main action. BUT I still want more in the timeline panel.

    For example... When you click on a section, I put the area of dynamic text on this article which is further down in the timeline panel. When I test the movie I see that the text box there, but there is no text in there. When I put the same text on image 1 box, it works. SO I think it has something to do with the code to find the instance further to the bottom of the timeline.

    I hope this makes sense... I enclose my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I see this as a recurring problem for me in each section.

    Thank you! Sandra

    will work if you apply it to a TextField via the .htmlText property.

    for example:

    var t:TextField = new TextField();

    addChild (t);

    t.htmlText = "this will contain.

    two breaks before this line. "

    If you just want to use .text only you can use the sequence of 2 characters of line endings. I have myself used .text with
    so to wrap the text.

  • Load dynamic text in a swf embeded

    I have my main stage, and in this main stage I am incorporating another .swf (several instances on a map) file. I would like to be able to load a dynamic text in a table on the main stage in the integrated .swf - is it possible?

    Here's what I've tried and failed with:
    (1) creating a text box dynamic on the integrated .swf, giving it an instance name of load_txt and writing that .swf for load_txt.text = array ;
    (2) the creation of a zone of dynamic text on the integrated .swf, giving it an instance name of load_txt, creating a variable on the main stage of the var embed = {url: 'embed.swf'}; and writing AS in the main stage for marks.load_txt.text = array
    .

    Here's the function that place the .swf files included on the map, the list of sites stored in 'table ':

    Hmm... I see what you're saying. I don't know if this helps, but this is the link with the Yahoo! Maps Web Services - Flash® API Reference Manual Link.

  • 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.

  • How to load xml data to dynamic text under a button (AS3)

    Hi all

    I created a button and put some dynamic text in it. But I can not dynamically load text from an xml file.
    See the code below:

    xmlLoader9.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, showXML99);
    xmlLoader9.load (new URLRequest ("mempops.xml"));

    function loadXML99(e:Event):void

    myButton1 = button
    Box1 = movie clip
    dyntext1 = dynamic text box
    }
    };

    and the error message:
    1119: access of property may be undefined box1 through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

    Thanks for the help

    SimpleButtons have very limited property, so you can't really add content in them that code can talk.  Your best bet will be to create the button as a movieclip.  MovieClip objects can have code addressable bjects placed in them and can also have properties assigned dynamically.

  • Simple question: loading files .txt in dynamic text boxes

    Now, I can load the external .txt file into the box without problem. But when the .txt file contains HTML tags, even when I put the dynamic text box to "Make text as HTML", they display correctly.

    Any ideas?

    Hello, the problem is the display of html content?
    Maybe you load the text incorectley.

    If you want to load plain text then use:
    my_box. Text = "Adama";

    If you want to load the html text, you must set the variable called "htmlText" instead of "text" and set html = true before loading html content:

    my_box.html = true;
    my_box.htmlText = "Adama";

  • How to load dynamic text inside a clip?

    Hello all - I have a main scene on the first picture where my 'home' film clip shows. I did it by drag and drop, and then I put a stop action. everything works very well.

    inside this clip of family movie on the main stage, there are links to other video clips. for example, to access my faq page - you click on this button, then it takes you to box 4 on my main stage, where the video clip of my faq (followed by stop action) was dragged/dropped and displays properly.

    in the video clip of the faq, this process is repeated, with buttons taking you different pages (different images to different video clips play - everything works fine).

    so now, I want to add a dynamic text field in the video clip of my faq. I've read many tutorials where I created the text file, but I was not able to view successfully within my video clip of FAQ.

    Here is a code that tells my tutorial dvd place me on the main stage that I practice how it works:

    var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
    var myListener:Object = new Object();

    myMCL.addListener (myListener);


    var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

    myLV.onLoad = function (success: Boolean) {}
    If (success) {}
    _level5.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
    } else {}
    _level5.loadedInfo.text = 'there was an error loading the requested information. Please contact the site administrator. « ;
    }
    }

    and here's some code that I place on the FAQ button in my main video which brings back me to the main stage and plays faq movie clip all passed:

    on (release) {}

    GotoAndPlay MovieClip behavior
    _root.gotoAndPlay("4");
    End behavior

    }

    and finally, here is that some code that I put in my clip from movie FAQ in an attempt to display my dynamic text in the FAQ clip - so far without success:

    _level0.myLV.load("VARs/FAQs.txt");

    NOTE:
    I published this see - does not.
    I have my text FAQ starting as info = file
    I eliminated white spaces in my text file
    I use flash 8 pro

    can anyone offer some suggestions? Thank you!

  • load dynamic text field text, font is not displayed correctly

    I have a flash movie 8, in which there is a dynamic text field, load data from the server. Data loading beautifully and appears in a text field as html.

    This text as html field uses a style sheet and that works fine for everything except the font. With the help of Flash, I've specified a font of DIN-Medium for the dynamic text on my stage box and still the text that appears when I publish to my Web host seems to be Times New Roman. WTF?

    My style sheet specifies no any font family.

    Can anyone tell me how I could get the dynamic text box to display the text using the font DIN? Do I need to export the police in the library of my animation flash or something?

    I have it working now. The question was how I chose to incorporate fonts. I changed some incorporate settings and it seems to work now.

  • Loading dynamic text...

    It's driving me crazy. I am trying to load a file of html text in a dynamic text box "loadedInfo." "loadedInfo" is an instance of movieclip called 'text_field' - but I can't make it work, or even shoot to the top of the error I wrote in the script action (even if I have a similar script on another site I did).

    Here are my actionscript to pull this variable in the dynamic text box (this is in the main timeline):

    myLV.load ("resume.txt");

    Load VARs
    var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    myLV.onLoad = {function (success)}
    If (success) {}
    text_field.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
    } else {}
    text_field.loadedInfo.text = 'there was an error loading the requested information. Please contact the webmaster and report your error. « ;
    }
    }

    If you want to see the swf file, it's here:
    http://www.midnight007.com/pizza/layer_100resume.swf

    And, if you want to see the fla file, it's here:
    http://www.midnight007.com/pizza/layer_100resume.fla

    I'm sorry time for me to miss something - I didn't know that you had already posted a link to your fla - I should have just looked at that!

    Your video clip text_field and, therefore, your loadedInfo text box does not exist on the stage at the moment where you introduce your onLoad event handler. So if your onLoad handler is called before the timeline reached chassis 6 when your video clip of text_field appears, it does what you want it to do. Copy image 6 loadedInfo layer and paste it into frame 1 and the text should appear very well.

  • You can link two dynamic text objects?

    This is a question about dynamic text objects.  Is it possible to link two dynamic text objects so that they flow together into an email or a landing page?

    For example, say you have two dynamic text objects, DTO1 and DTO2.  Also assume that DTO1 can vary in length, for example, two lines of five lines.  Is it possible to establish that DTO2 runs immediately after DTO1 to say, a single line of space empty between them?  I see no way to do it in email or the landing page editor, but perhaps that there's a way to do it with html or another approach.

    Thank you

    Hi Andy,.

    Yes, to do this with html raw. Once you have the code, you can either put in the view of the source of a text box (if you use the Eloqua editor) or just throw in some test-tube html.

    First of all, you need get the HTML for your dynamic elements. It's kind of awkward to get this code but not too difficult.

    • Open a downloaded landing page or sent e-mail. You can not access the landing pages or emails that have been built using the Eloqua editor code.
    • Display dynamic content browser and search for your dynamic elements
    • Drag them into the section code of your destination or by e-mail page
    • Copy the code that gets placed there then the output of the page destination or email without saving changes
    • The code should look like this:

    ) to get the bit of empty space. As I've mentioned above, you can place code in the view of the source of a text box (if you use the Eloqua editor) or just throw in some test-tube html.

    In fact, if your final product should be a page external destination loaded or email you could save yourself the time and code just in a place-holder when you generate your html code. Then when you're done uploading, please drag the dynamic elements in the code of the dynamic browser and add your line breaks.

  • 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];
    
  • Conditional support with dynamic text video. IF... else...

    I have two dynamic texts, both of them will generate numbers. If we have a value that is larger than this, a clip must be loaded, moreover, another video clip needs to be charged.

    If they are dynamic, you change the text of textfield properties, so when you make a change, compare two numbers and use:

    If (Number (Text1.Text)<>

    MC = new MovieClip1();

    } else {}

    MC = new MovieClip2();

    }

    addChild (mc)
