• creation of an area of dynamic text inside a movieclip using a loop for

  I'm having issues creating several areas of dynamic text inside a movieclip using a loop for.  I use 2 ACEs.  Here is the code I've created so far

  var leading: Number = 0;

  function drawClip (): Void

  {

  this.createEmptyMovieClip ("mc", 10);

  for (i = 0; i < 5; i ++)

  {

  mc.createTextField ('text areas' + i, this.getNextHighestDepth (), 0, leading, 200, 200)

  MC ["text boxes" + i] .text = i;

  leader + a = 20;

  }

  }

  drawClip();

  Create a mc but she only display the number 5

  Any thoughts?

  You are cionstantly, crushing the textfield created previously due to the use of the wrong depth define.  You point to 'this' to get a depth value, but he planted inside 'mc', so it's always at the same depth since "this" index of depth does not change.  Use...

  mc.createTextField ('text areas' + i, mc.getNextHighestDepth (), 0, leading, 200, 200)

• Show dynamic text inside the title for several images on mouseover

  I have 25 animated Clips dragged on the stage and they have for instance similar names for easier manipulation purposes within programming using loops. The instance names look like this: image0, image1, image2 and so on.

  Whenever I'm mouseover on one of these unique images, I want to show the unique title of this image using all securities as a dynamic text named imageTitle container.

  I managed to do this job image by image, but that would require me to copy paste and modify the following code for each image.

  image0.onRollOver = function() { 
      imageTitle.text = "First image title";
      imageTitle.textColor = 0x000000; // setting the text color here
    }; 
  
  
  
  image0.onRollOut = function() {  
      imageTitle.text = "Choose an image";
      imageTitle.textColor = 0x000000;
  };  

  Question: The above code wouldn't work, but seems redundant to me. Since I was the name of similar instances (image0, image1,..., image24), how can I put this code inside a loop or something to work for all the images without repeating this code 25 times.

  Update: I've added a table for the project that contains all titles:

  var imagesTitles = new Array("First image title", "Second image title", .... );  

  :

  imageTitle.textColor = 0 x 000000;

  for (var i: Number = 0; i<>

  This ["image" + i] .ivar = i;  key stage

  {This ["image" + i] .onRollOver = Function ()}

  imageTitle.text = imagesTitles [this.ivar];  milestone used here

  }

  {This ["image" + i] .onRollOut = Function ()}

  imageTitle.text = "" Choose image ";"

  }
  }

• Display number in the area of dynamic text without rounding

  Hello

  I use AS3 and try to place the extracted value of an OC in 2 dynamic text boxes. I use a couple of numbers of test (2.25 and 1.25). Strangely when I run the following script, I have trouble getting my test numbers in areas of 2 text (T1, T2). (Before the numbers stopped show altogether, they have been rounded up and that he seemed to be 10 x greater than they actually are, without my something like that.) Note: The script also displays the text (T3, T4, T5, and T6) boxes with messages like "above average" based on the scores don't know if these screens are correct, since I can't show 2 numbers inspired by the poster.

  Here's the code. I have to do something wrong:

  Btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
  function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  var so: SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal ("G1", "/"); using ' / ' as a local path should work to pick up the SO created by the SWF quiz
  var read1:Number = so.data.value1
  var read2:Number = so.data.value2
  var read3:Number = so.data.value3
  var read4:Number = so.data.value4
  T1. Text = String (read1);
  T2. Text = String Read (2);
  T3. Visible = false
  T4. Visible = false
  T5. Visible = false
  T6. Visible = false
  male
  If ((read1 > = 1,95) & &(read1<2.65))
  {
  T3. Visible = true
  T4. Visible = false
  T5. Visible = false
  T6. Visible = false
  }
  ElseIf (read1 > = 2.65)
  {
  T5. Visible = true
  }
  otherwise if ((read1 < 1.95) & & (read1 > = 1.25))
  {
  T4. Visible = true
  }
  ElseIf (read1 < 1.25)
  {
  T6. Visible = true
  }
  }

  Any help appreciated.

  Try just the text assignment clear ole to the textfields.

  T1. Text = "ole plain text."

  If you're not yet see anything, my inclination is first ask you to check if the font for the textfield color could match the background.  If this isn't the case, then are hide you, rotation, or animate these textfields - in which case you should join the police for them.

• Text entry to the area of dynamic text with answers

  I need to create a demo of an application of "Technical Support".
  
  I have a text entry box, a dynamic text box and "submit" button.
  
  When a user types in the text entry box, then press the submit button that their "issue" appears in the dynamic text box.
  
  It all works as should be outside of a thing. I need to be able to have the user enter several questions. Now if they first enter press and "chicken fried" submit, then enters the 'pizza' and presses to resubmit the text displayed in the dynamic text box should show two lines:
  
  fried chicken
  Pizza
  
  but instead, whenever a user presses on submit text is replaced (i.e. 'fried chicken' is replaced by 'pizza' on the same line).
  
  Here is the code so far:
  code block
  questionTxt.text = "enter your support tech here request.';
  questionTxt.onSetFocus = function()
  {
  This.Text = "";
  };
  
  displayTxt.text = "Support: Hello.» How can I help you? « ;
  displayTxt.onSetFocus = function() {}
  This.Text = "";
  };
  
  
  var i = 1
  var responseTxt = "Thank you, one moment please."
  
  this.submitBtn.onRelease = function() {}
  output = ' Dr. Smith: "+ input +"\n"+ responseTxt + '\n'; '.
  questionTxt.text = "";
  }
  end code block
  
  So the end result should be:
  
  The user enters "I have a question", press submit
  dynamic text box shows "Dr. Smith: I have a question" and below of this "Thank you, one moment please.
  -> It's currently the case
  
  The user enters into ANOTHER question "I also need info on...» "and submit presses
  Dynamic text box says:
  
  Mr. Smith: I have a question
  Thanks, one moment please.
  
  Mr. Smith: I also need information on...
  Thanks, one moment please.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  My guess is that I need to use the variable "input" of the box of text for each line, but not too sure how.
  
  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  may want to rather like:

  var x 1: String = "Dr. Smith: "; "
  var responseTxt:String = ' Thank you, one moment please. "
  displayTxt.html = true;

  this.submitBtn.onRelease = function() {}
  displayTxt.htmlText += "\n" + x 1 + questionTxt.text + "\n" + responseTxt;
  questionTxt.text = "";
  }

• 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!

  Hey clBeech - I GOT it! YAHOOO!

  Man - I've been racking my brain and took off a few days of this problem - it turns out that your second post was the answer - he just took clearing me my head to look at once again - I solved all of this as an hour ago - is the code - set 4 main Timeline frame that has worked:

  [
  Stop();
  var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

  myLV.onLoad = function (success: Boolean) {}
  If (success) {}
  _level0.mainfaqs.loadedInfo.text = myLV.info;
  } else {}
  _level0.mainfaqs.loadedInfo.text = 'there was an error loading the requested information. Please contact the site administrator. « ;
  }
  }

  myLV.load("vars/faqs.txt");

  ]

  I can't thank you enough - although this was not a BIG problem of programming, I couldn't proceed without him, and it was big for me. Thank you for taking the time to following up with me - seriously!

  now, I continue with my project - the scroll for my dynamic text buttons - everything seems to work.

  have a great weekend my friend!

• How to fill an area of dynamic text with text via OOP coding

  Hello

  I want to add a note to my game.

  I have a clip called ScoreText with instance of dynamic text called myScore box (the text is built). I exported this MC to its own class file.

  I would like to accept the partition of draw function values to add to the text. For now, how code myScore = 0 and later if the player x - click on give 10 points.

  Thank you

  Images of recommended

  Here is the class file so long:

  package

  {

  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  SerializableAttribute public class ScoreText extends MovieClip

  {

  public void ScoreText()

  {

  x = 1157;

  y = 606;

  }

  private function drawScore (): void //I'll call this function in my gameloop in my class constructor.

  {

  trace ("Score box can accept input");

  }

  }

  }

  Here is what is in the game:

  

  It's probably not what you want.

  My guess is you'll be incrementing this score from another class.  If this is the case, drawScore must be public, not private.  In addition, if you are incrementing and affects only not the partition, you should take a more appropriate function name.  then, use:

  package

  {

  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  SerializableAttribute public class ScoreText extends MovieClip

  {

  private var _score: int = 0;

  public void ScoreText()

  {

  x = 1157;

  y = 606;

  }

  public void incrementScore (score: int = 0)

  {

  trace ("Score box can accept information");

  _score += score;

  myScore.text = _score.toString ();

  }

  }

  }

  and spend the amount you want to increase your score by.  for example, what class where you have instantiated your instance of ScoreText:

  var scoreText:ScoreText = new ScoreText();

  .

  .

  .

  (if this is the correct letter) {}

  scoreText.incrementScore (10);

  } else {}

  If there is penalty for choosing the wrong letter:

  scoreText.incrementScore(-5);

  }

• characters available in the area of dynamic text through XML

• How do I get a field of dynamic text inside a movieclip

  It's the stuff probably easy for most of you guys tried to have this work for the last hour, and it does not work.

  Basically, I made my own button which is a movieclip. Inside the movieclip on the normal/roll off the coast of the State, I put an instance name Dynamics «textbtn» textfieldwith

  my button is supposed to expand on 2 images on my mainstage, thought is to say something different in each picture.

  Insofar as I have this inside the movieclip on frame 1:

  textbtn. Text = MovieClip (parent) .buttonText;

  I have my mainstage in frame1:

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);

  back_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

  function buttonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("OFF");

  }

  function buttonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("Over");

  }

  function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {}

  back_btn.gotoAndStop ("Click");

  gotoAndStop ("frontpage2");

  }

  buttonText = "this is frame1 '; var

  I have my mainstage in frame2:

  buttonText = "this is frame2."

  
  

  I think that you are unnecessarily complex things.

  A good practice is not not to litter the timeline inside movieclips with code. When you want to go find a code to fix something, you may need to browse movieclips several levels deep to get the code in a frame. Soon, it become unweildly.

  If you want to use the chronology, I record the event listeners and also to set the text for the button of the timeline root. I also don't use "image tags" because they are very archaic, although can be used.

  To make your buttons I make a movieclip (affecting flash.display.Sprite for optimization of the base class of the clamp) and includes 3 layers. bottom of layer 1, layer 2 roll, layer text 3. I don't see any State 'on' mentioned in your code, so I left out that. Roll or "selected" and "textfield" layers should have instance names so that you can access. For example I would appoint the State selected for selected_mc and TextField in text_txt graph.

  If your button has been appointed as you say back_btn then the code would look like this, remembering that the event passes a target property:

  back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonRollOver);back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonRollOut);back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);Sprite(back_btn.getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = false; // make sure the initial selected state is invisible
  
   function buttonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = false;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'roll off'; // change to the roll off text}
  
  function buttonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = true;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'roll on'; // change to the roll on text}
  
  function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    Sprite(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('selected_mc')).visible = true;     TextField(Sprite(event.currentTarget).getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'selected text'; // change to the selected text   gotoAndStop("frontpage2");  }
  
  TextField(back_btn.getChildByName('text_txt')).text = 'start text'; // change to the starting text of the button
  

  The display list returns DisplayObjectContainer and DisplayObject must always conclude with the 'type' they want to access it properly. That's why I Sprite() and TextField() wrapped around specific things. This gives you access to their settings.

• Load a movieClip in the library, then changing the text inside

  I have a movieClip in the library with the name of binding as "LinkClass" class  I can do appear on the scene, but there is an area of dynamic text inside called "linkText" that I can't seem to make it work.  Ideas?  Here is the code:

  myLink = new LinkClass();

  myLink.name = "linkButton";

  box.boxMC.linksMC.addChild (myLink);

  myLink.linkText.htmlText = 'hi. '

  so, you don't have a child object named linkText in your object with the LinkClass class.

  If you think that you do not have such an object, make sure that it is not part of a timeline Tween and there on frame 1 of your LinkClass object.   If linkText is created on the stage with the tool text, click it to select it in the properties panel, paste linkText.  If you think you've done everything right, paste a screenshot here that shows your textfield on selected scene, the calendar, and the properties panel.

• 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.

• 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

• Cannot target the main stage of dynamically loaded swf...

  A part of the Flash application. I'm working on right now is the following-

  Main stage load an external swf using the following function:

  function loadAsset(evt:String):void{
   var assetName:String = evt;
   if (assetName != null){
    var assetLdr:Loader = new Loader();  
    var assetURL:String = assetName;  
    var assetURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(assetURL);  
    assetLdr.load(assetURLReq);  
    assetLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.INIT , loaded)  
    assetLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, displayAssetLoaderProgress);   
    function loaded(event:Event):void {  
     var targetLoader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader);  
     assetWindow.addChild(targetLoader);
    }
   }
  }
  

  The external swf file loaded, load another external swf to itself using the following function:

  function loadQuiz(evt:String):void{    
   var quizName:String = evt; 
   if (quizName != null){ 
    var quizLdr:Loader = new Loader(); 
    var quizURL:String = quizName; 
    var quizURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(quizURL); 
    quizLdr.load(quizURLReq); 
    quizLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.INIT , loaded)        
    quizLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, displayQuizLoaderProgress);  
    function loaded(event:Event):void { 
     var targetLoader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader); 
     quizWindow.assetLoader.addChild(targetLoader);      
    }
   }
  }

  
  Everything loads fine, but at the level of quizWindow.assetLoader.addChild (targetLoader), I want to send a message/fill in an area of dynamic text on the main stage. I've been 'parenting' my brain and I'm not sure of how to communicate with that level.

  can anyone show me the correct path or the method based on the above, or have a suggestion?

  
  See you soon,.

• Can I put Chinese and English characters in the same dynamic text box?

  I translate a game in several languages, which is Chinese. I noticed that in an area of dynamic text where English characters are included, they are not displayed when the .swf is exported. The police is embedded in the document with the selected characters. It seems that any character language is initially displayed in the text box, the other language is impossible. For example, if there are Chinese characters first, then English, the English will not display and vice versa. No matter what work around on this? I use Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0. Thank you!

  Use two different textfields, one above the other.  assign to the visible property of the textfield useless were false.
