Simple question: loading files .txt in dynamic text boxes

• Simple question: How do resize you a text box? (CS4)

  Don't know why it is so difficult... but... all I'm doing is that once I put a text box on the document and to put a text in it, I am unable to resize the margins (i.e. If the box was too broad, I dunno how to make the box in a narrower column). In all other adobe applications, you simply click on one of the boxes-anchor at corner of the outline of the box and drag. In Illustrator, all is to move all of the textbox control.

  You might have inadvertently disabled inclusive.

  CTRL + SHIFT + B (Win)

  Command + SHIFT + B (Mac)

  You can also resize a text box by using the free transform tool, but do so only when you want the text to scale (rather than redistribution).

• How can I load a. In a dynamic text box TXT file?

  I'm sure that many people know how to load a .txt file in a dynamic text box. But I did not. I want to be able to reference a txt from the server file in the text box. So that when I change the text file it changes in the flash animation without even modifying the file flash itself. Thank you.

  If you want to follow this tutorial, you should go with the LoadVars class. not loadVariablesNum()

• using URLloader to place text in an external .txt file to an EXISTING text box

  Hello

  I am a web developer who works primarily using PHP, HTML and CSS. However, I am currently having to renovate a site for the customer that has been created in flash. I have a lot of first experiences of flash using action script base 1.5 to make animations and basic user interface. What I basically need doing replaces the text boxes that exist in files SWF with dynamic text is generated by reading a file external.txt. Right now I can access the external .txt file and use it to generate the copy in a test film. The big problem remains: having to be put in the existing text field so that I can format it appropriate to the existing sequence.

  Here are my actionscript:

  var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();

  myTextField_txt.wordWrap = true;

  myTextField_txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

  myTextLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

  function onLoaded(e:Event):void {}

  myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;

  addChild (myTextField_txt);

  }

  myTextLoader.load (new URLRequest ("mytext.txt"));

  This makes the text appear. I tried to name an instance of a myTextField text field to see if he goes there will trigger.

  I'm so lost.

  Otherwise, I'd settle for create a new text field that I could format.

  Help?

  You probably want to use:

  :

  var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

  /*

  var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();

  myTextField_txt.wordWrap = true;

  myTextField_txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

  */

  myTextLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

  function onLoaded(e:Event):void {}

  your_existing_textfields_instance_name. Text = e.target.data;

  addChild (myTextField_txt);

  }

  myTextLoader.load (new URLRequest ("mytext.txt"));

  to find your_existing_textfields_instance_name, you should search (use the movie Explorer) as textfield.

• 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.

• 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

• External SWF dynamic text box.  How to target the area of text in AS3?

  Hello... I am loading an external file in a master file. Load the external file into an empty clip that is located on the stage of the main file. This external file that is loaded has a dynamic text box that I am trying to target using AS3.
  
  
  The way he did in AS2 has emptyMovieClipName.textBoxName.text = "whatever" "
  
  
  I tried to focus my text box using this same code, but it does not work in AS3 environment.
  
  Clues how proceed in AS3 would be appreciated!
  
  Thank you...

  you load not in a vacuum. you are attaching a child magazine empty and property content loader is the main timeline of your external swf.

  Here's how you need to reference your textfield in your external swf file:

• Automatically change the size and have a fluid for dynamic text boxes

  I am seized of text from a thread xmle in the dynamic text boxes. I have boxes of static text that titles each.

  I need help to make the dynamic text boxes if the xml text is larger & move the static text boxes, so that they don't start writing more.

  The code that I used to make the text in the dynamic areas is very simple:

  var xmlData:XML = new XML ();
  var theURL_ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("xml.xml");
  var loader_ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader (theURL_ur);
  loader_ul.addEventListener ("complete", fileLoaded);

  function fileLoaded(e:Event):void
  {
  xmlData = XML (loader_ul.data);

  Dummy_txt. Text = xmlData.record1.Dummy;
  Dummy_txt2. Text = xmlData.record1.Dummy2;
  }

  For example

   

  You must set your dynamic text boxes autoSize property, while they will increase if necessary:

  myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

  Then, you can use the textHeight field property to get the height of the text in pixels and move the other fields accordingly:

  staticTitle2.y = dynamicText1.y + dynamicText1.textHeight + 10;

• How to get the name of the instance of button to display in the dynamic text box

  first of all, thank God for you people. Laughing out loud.
  
  Here is my scenario, I am the designer of consumate and learning coding by leaps and bounds, today its been a lot of stumbling blocks however.
  
  I have a site I designed that contains buttons that navigate the user at various points on the timeline using image tags. When they arrive at the appropriate image tag, they are presented with a movieclip containing two layers. The bottom layer is a card, and the top layer is a collection of buttons printer having a component tooltip on them showing you the information on detailed mouse printer on and takes you to the Remote UI printer on release. each button has a name of unique queue for the printer appropriate under its name of the instance (e.g. itm100_btn). Here's the jist... I want to be able to place a dynamic text box near the printer and using action script button it display printer queue name automatically simply based on the button, targeting, or even place the dynamic txt area inside the printer button mc. See, on some pages, there are like 24 printers... I'm AFRAID to have to put all these names in manually because there are total 150 printers! OUCH...

  Oh it is AS2.0 with Flash cs4
  
  In short... God bless you people... for the love of God someone help me? Laughing out loud.
  
  Thank you so much peoples!
  
  "I make things look purdy, but do not know why the sky is blue".

  to create a movieclip button:

  create a (insert/new symbol/movieclip) movieclip and attach a stop() to its first image and etiquette 'up '.  create any graphic you want for the up state button movieclip.  create a 'more' and, if necessary, a "low" setting

  When you place this button movieclip on stage give an instance name (for example, printer1) and use:

  {Printer1.onRollOver = Function ()}

  this.gotoAndStop ("over");

  }

  {Printer1.onRollOut = Printer1.onDragOut = Function ()}

  this.gotoAndStop ("up");

  }

  {Printer1.onPress = Function ()}

  this.gotoAndStop ("down");

  }

  and add your onRelease to do all that.

  If you also wanted to add a textfield that displays the instance name of the button when the button is postponed, place a textfield on the framework of the "over" and give it a name instance (say tf) and associated to the MovieClip "over" frame that uses:

  TF. Text = This._name;

• Roll on the dynamic text boxes

  When I have a dynamic text box in a movie, and I want the movie she buttonMode. The hand symbol is converted to an arrow, even if the text is not selectable. Is there a way to get around this? It is not to do with a simple button... so I can put the text into a single button, but I expected something a little more forward.

  I do not see this behavior, but you can use the mouseChildren property to disable the children of your movieclip to respond to the mouse.

• 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:

• Formatting dynamic text (box) [AS2]

  Hello

  I have a button called B and a dynamic text box called T

  How can I make the text box

  (1) fill color change?

  (2) change font of a text?

  (3) to change the font style of the text to "BOLD" or regular?

  (4) to a line of color around the frame?

  To place the text in the frame to click the button I would use

  B.onRelease = function() {T.text = "foo"};

  Also is it possible to change the color of a button by clicking or by moving over it?

  I need to do this in AS2

  Thanks in advance

  Trevor

  To manipulate the font of the text in the textfield, you must use the TextFormat class and the setTextFormatmethod of the TextField.  The help documentation should have examples if you linger, and you should be able to find useful information by using Google.  Here is a link to the TextFormat class we have on the web: http://docs.brajeshwar.com/as2/TextFormat.html

  To change the characteristics of the textfield also far than go to background and border colors, the TextField class has properties to those that you can set.  Here is a link to the same site linked above, but for the information of class TextField.

• 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;

• Can not do a numeric value displayed in a dynamic text box

  I'm attached to some appear in a dynamic text box. I have a dynamic textfield on the stage with an instance name called count_txt. The code I use is shown below. The two States of tace indicate a value of 100, but nothing appears in the window of dynamic text. What I am doing wrong?

  var count_txt:Number;

  var n: Number;

  n = 100;

  trace (n);

  count_txt = n;

  trace (count_txt);

  Stop();

  Text fields have a text property that you use to define the text in the field. And when you want to paste a number into the field, you first need to convert it to a string:

  count_txt. Text = string(n);

  trace (count_txt. (Text);
