  ' is the HTML for an apostrophe ('), so the text appears to be encoded as html. You can use this cipher text easily in an active html textfield, this shows the actual letters instead html codes. I think you need to set the text property to "htmlText" TextField, rather than the "text" property

• 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";

• Creating a hyperlink in AS2 using xml and dynamic text

  Hello
  
  I want to insert two hyperlinks to my site flash AS2 - one for my e-mail address and one for my domain name. I use an xml file to import the e-mail address and url.
  
  As in my code, you can see that I'm storing xml data in _root.email and _root.website, and I actually got their display on the Web page (in dynamic text boxes email_txt.text and website_txt.text, respectfully), but how do I actually turn the latter into links?

  getURL (_root.website) works for the url link. You can run whenever you want.

  If you want to make a link in your textfield, html-enable website_txt and use a standard hyperlink: 'link'.

  How you want to send it work depends on the two choices that I mentioned above.

• Dynamic text not working not not in CS5

  Hello world

  I wonder if anyone knows anything that I'm not on this subject:

  I have a percentage counter in my preloader that still works perfectly fine in CS3. Now I downloaded CS5 preloader displays static text "LOADING" but not the dynamic text with the charge percentage.  I have re-embedded fonts, don't get no error when I publish, and the preloader doesn't actually seem to work. Why dynamic text would not show upward? I use classic text fields.

  Any help, greatly appreciated.

  Debbie

  When you move the slider to the frame that contains your preloader code, do you think that any text in myTextField?  If so, remove it.

  in particular, "LOADING" should not be seen in myTextField.

  If this doesn't solve your problem, you probably haven't a textfield named myTextField.  Use the trace() function to confirm.

• 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:

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

  function loadXML99(e:Event):void
  {
  XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
  var tree: XML = new XML (e.target.data);
  var i: Number;
  for (i = 0; i < fir.mylist.length (); i ++)
  {
  mybuton1. Box1.dyntext1.AppendText (FIR.memberz [i] .mname. Text());
  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.

• 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];
  

• View of dynamic text in an xml file

  I'm looking to display dynamic text in an external xml file. When I trace for the variable, all is well in the output window. But the text does not appear in the published movie.

  Here is my current code:

  var myXML:XML;
  var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  myLoader.load (new URLRequest ("AskAnExpert.xml"));
  myLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
  function processXML(e:Event):void {}
  myXML = new XML (e.target.data);

  var topic1:String = myXML.TOPIC [0]. FIELD_NAME;

  trace (topic1)

  };

  On the screen, I have a dynamic text field with an instance name of the Topic1. When I play the movie, the text does not appear. I tried various options of incorporation of text and using _without, but this does not seem to do the trick either. Help!

  You say you have a textfield with an instance name of the topic1, but in your code, you also declare a variable Topic1 you cast as a string.  The two cannot coexist.  If you really have a textfield named topic1then assign the xml value using textfield...

  Topic1. Text = myXML.TOPIC [0]. FIELD_NAME;

  But do not use a varioable with the same name as the TextField

  OK, I'm at the last part of my project. He worked all the wells and the reading of the file as seen on all fields of text in a text:

  OK by adding '&' in the beginning was not a good idea, it seems that the best way is really to change your PHP so that it includes no extra blank characters at the beginning, but if you want to manage this side Flash you can do the following:

  1. restore your PHP to how it was before the return data do not begin by '& '.

  2. Remove myLoader.dataFormat = pouvez; so that the loader loads the data as string

  3. in your onDataLoad function follow these steps:

  function onDataLoad(evt:Event):void {
       var data:String = e.target.data;
       data = data.replace(/\s/g, ""); // remove extra white spaces from the data received
       var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(data); // create URLVariables object from the data string
       trace(vars.tcname_1); // traces "CherokeeSweetGum"
       ...

• 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.

• Problem of passing a variable to a field of dynamic text in php (Flash 8)

  I am currently working on a flash file, where a person enters
  their score in a box of text entry with an instance name of score, then it
  It converts a percentage and ranks.
  The swf file displays the rank and the percentage in two dynamic text boxes
  with the name of the instances of percent and score.
  This part is for me no problem.
  The main goal is to pass the percent and the partition to a php file called
  grade.php and save the two variables in MySQL.

  After you download the files to a server, I run the swf file and
  It seems that everything works.  But when
  I check the MySQL file, I noticed that a row has been inserted, but no score or
  grade entered.   I can't know
  What is the problem.  If anyone can help
  me with that?

  Here the Actionscript 2.0 code and the php file:

  function findPercent() {}

  percent. Text = (score.text * 100) / 100;

  If (percent.text > = 90) {}

  rank. Text = "A";

  } ElseIf (percent.text < 90 & & percent.text > = 80) {}

  rank. Text = "B";

  other
  If (percent.text < 80 & & percent.text > = 70) {}

  grade.text = 'C ';

  } ElseIf (percent.text < 70 & & percent.text > = 60) {}

  rank. Text = "D";

  } ElseIf (percent.text < 60) {}

  rank. Text = 'F';

  }

  }

  submit_button.onRelease = function() {}

  submitURL = "grade.php";

  Create an instance of the LoadVars object and fill it.

  send_lv = new LoadVars();

  send_lv.score = "percent.text";    (Note: when I used the text of entry as. score.text box, it displays in MySQL)

  send_lv.grade = "grade.text";

  send_lv. Send (submitURL, "POST");

  };

  (grade.php)

  < html >

  < head >

  < title > Grades: add your rank and Score < /title >

  < / head >

  < body >

  Grade display < h2 > < / h2 >

  <? PHP

  require_once ('connectvars.php');

  Connect to the database

  $dbc = mysqli_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

  Enter the data in the partition of the POST

  $score = $_POST ['mark'];

  $grade = $_POST ['category'];

  Write the data to the database

  $query = "INSERT INTO transcription (score, rank) VALUES ('$score', '$grade');

  mysqli_query ($DBC, $Query);

  mysqli_close ($DBC);

  ? >

  < hr / >

  < / body >

  < / html >

  If you use such track suggested in the message 4 instructions and the instructions of tracing corresponding to your expectations, the problem will be in your php file.

  I have a problem with your php code, but there is no way (in this forum) to check if your db columns are score and rank and that they have the correct data type.

  p.s. I don't download and fix the files unless I'm hired.  free help I offer only via the adobe forums.

• shipment value of the PHP variable to Flash to load an xml file

  I would like to load an XML file to the local location or on the server to ignore the name of the file. I use PHP to send the name of the Flash file.

  Here it is the PHP code:

  <? PHP

  filesInDir ('C:\Documents and Settings\457305\My Documents\shrikant\Flash Tutorials\webassist');

  function filesInDir ($tdir)

  {

  $dirs = rewinddir(3) ($tdir);

  foreach ($dirs as $file)

  {

  If (($file == '.') |) ($file == '..'))

  {

  }

  else if (is_dir ($tdir. » /'. $file))

  {

  filesInDir ($tdir. » /'. $file);

  }

  on the other

  {

  echo "fileName = $file";

  }

  }

  }

  ? >

  And here is the Actionscript code loading:

  import flash.net.URLLoader;

  import flash.net.URLRequest;

  import flash.events.Event;

  to import flash.net.URLVariables;

  Stop();

  Set the PHP file to load

  var phpFile:String = " " http://localhost/WebAssist/test.php ";

  var cons_xml:XML;

  var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  Specify the property dataFormat of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLE".

  This ensures the variables loaded into Flash with the same variable names

  xmlLoader.dataFormat = pouvez;

  xmlLoader.load (new URLRequest (phpFile));

  xmlLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

  function processXML(evt:Event):void

  {

  trace (evt. Target.Data.FileName);

  cons_xml = new XML (evt.target.data.fileName);

  gotoAndPlay (2);

  }

  When I trace evt.target.data it displays "fileName = mainOpenEndedXML % 2Exml" and when I trace evt.target.data.fileName the file name is correctly displayed as 'mainOpenEndedXML.xml'.

  But in the two next lines where the loading is done that it does not load the file IE does not play the SWF to an xml file.

  I've searched the Internet to find answers, but not able to find solutions.

  Loading works fine if I insert the xml file directly in the code and the SWF in the XML file plays correctly. Here it is the code for the same thing:

  import flash.net.URLLoader;

  import flash.net.URLRequest;

  import flash.events.Event;

  to import flash.net.URLVariables;

  Stop();

  var cons_xml:XML;

  var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  xmlLoader.load (new URLRequest ("mainOpenEndedXML.xml"));

  xmlLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

  function processXML(evt:Event):void

  {

  cons_xml = new XML (evt.target.data);

  gotoAndPlay (2);

  }

  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

  
  

  You said you use PHP to send the name of the Flash file.  If the php file you provide only the name of the xml file that you need to load, then you will have to load the xml file in the same way that you show in your last set of code where you say that load you it directly.

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

  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...

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

  Sovereign funds:

  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

  You must wait until you are on the frame where the textfield must try to assign the text - you can't assign text if it is not present.  You can probably load all the text and saved it as a variable in frame 1, but this variable must be available on the framework where you assign the textfield text charge.
