Unable to set a dynamic text in MC via AS

First of all, I am VERY new to Flash and ActionScript, please bear with me if I ask stupid questions.

I have a very simple button - symbol simply contains a form and a dynamic (empty) text (with the name of the instance 'letexte') box. I want to place several instances of the button and use AS (attached to frame 1 of the root scenario) to set the text for each button by targeting the dynamic text box. I placed a single instance of first, but can't even get it to display the text on the button.

The button on the stage instance is called filled. Dynamic text inside the button symbol is named theText.
My AS code is attached to frame 1 and is as follows:

this.theButton.theText.text = 'SOMETHING';

This should, in my view, give the button 'SOMETHING' text when running. But when I test movie button is always empty, without text. What I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much.

Rick

> this.theButton.theText.text = "SOMETHING";

Change the behavior of information to movieclip so that you can refer to the objects inside. Then...

theButton.theText.text = 'SOMETHING';

Lose the game "this", there is no need here.

  • 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);

    }

    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;

  • Adobe animate CC HTML5 - setting length max on a dynamic text box

    Hi guys,.

    I hope someone can help...

    I'm trying to set a maximum length of a dynamic text to only 10 characters box.

    These work perfectly by the way:

    Screen.tab01.txt.text = labelSomeText;

    Screen.tab01.txt.color = "#424242";

    However I can't get this to work:

    Can someone please advice what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you man!

    You do not specify if you speak a native textfield object, or an element of HTML text overlay.

    For HTML text input elements, the property to set is "maxlength", all lowercase.

    For native textfield objects, there is no max length, width property maximum of only. You will need to manually apply any character limit in the code that defines the contents of the textfield object.

  • Setting text in a dynamic text field

    Hello

    I have trouble to set the text in a dynamic text field when you use an if statement.

    I have a gallery and thumbnails, which give each image a picNum, that is to say 1, 2, etc.;

    When I click on the thumbnail, it sets the picNum accordingly.

    What I want to do is set the legend according to my picNum, so I put a function to change the caption according to the picNum that is called when you click on the thumbnail.  That is to say.

    Caption = function() {}

    If (picNum = 1) {_root.caption.text = "image 1 caption"};

    If (picNum = 2) {_root.caption.text = 'image of legend 2'};

    }

    I tried to put on the other if, but I got an error.

    My problem is that it does not change the caption displayed when the picNum meets the criteria.  Something obviously wrong here, but not being is not large in actionscript, I don't know where I am going wrong.  The above code is a basic example of what I'm trying to do.  I have attached the actual file to show you what I'm trying to do. (Help of Flash MX, Flash Player 6 publication)

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    = is used to liken something to something

    == is used to compare something something... if(picNum==1)

  • How to set the default text for a text entry area dynamically?

    I do a simulation and grabbing a my user text entry.  I store in a variable and you want to use as the default text for a text entry later in the simulation box.  It seems like it would need current for a software simulation.  However, I don't see a way to set the default text.  If I put the variable in a legend, I would use the syntax $$variablename$ $.  I tried to fix this in the text by default, but it did not work.  It is not interpreted as a variable.  Does anyone do this?  Please share.  Thank you.

    I had a need to do that as well... put a variable as default text name in a TBE field.

    I have a widget AS3 to do this, which can be found here.  There a Cp 4 demo file that does exactly what you describe.

    I would like to know how it goes...

  • HP Envy 7640: Unable to set the scanning resolution

    Have been unable to set the resolution of scan during the scanning of the glass in a computer file (pdf, jpg). Guide the user to the HP page 47 7640 said: "● If you want to adjust the size of the scan, output type, scan resolution, or file type and so on, start scan from the software of the printer."
    ● To avoid all scanned text wrong or missing, make sure that the brightness is set properly the
    software.
    ● If you want to scan a document with several pages in a single file instead of several files, run it
    Scanner with the software of the printer instead of the sweep of the screen of the printer".

    First of all, where is the "printer software" to start the scan?

    Have tried all this. When I opened the series HP Envy 7640 (network): Assistant of HP printer, I click on "Scan the Document or Photo a" place in the scanning area. No scan dialog box never opens. Actually I tried to reinstall the printer driver. No change. Always impossible to get a scan dialog box. In addition, when I go in the start menu and the title of the series 7600 HP: HP envy, I click on the HP Scan icon. After a long wait, a dialog box appears that says: "Cannot communicate with Scanner", and it offers a few options. The first is to activate the device (printer), and then on; the second, control cables (its wireless operation); the third: try the software "fix." Happy to report that after stopping then on and running assistant printer again, this time by pressing the "scan a Photo Document' results in the appearance of a dialog box to make the changes that I've been looking for.

    Thank you

    you do not see the full text of design, this data dictionary that col stores only the first 1000 characters of the query

    You can Customize this report to get the full text if you wish... just read the column full_text instead, which is a CLOB

    in fact, this is the story in v3.2 - If you upgrade to version 4.0, we wonder SQL_FULLTEXT, and also make it more enjoyable to read code, throwing in a code editor

  • 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.

  • 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 ";"

    }
    }

  • 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.

  • the value of the fontStyle in dynamic text with a combobox

    Hello

    I'm making a combobox control, so the user can change the fontstyle that they entered into a dynamic text field.

    Right now it says that the setStyle and fontStyle properties are undefined o f TextRenderer and Textfield.

    That's what I have so far.

    change the font style

    fontStyleCombo.prompt = "Font Style";

    fontStyleCombo.addItem({label:"Medium"});)

    fontStyleCombo.addItem({label:"Bold"});)

    fontStyleCombo.addItem({label:"Italic"});)

    fontStyleCombo.addItem ({label: "Bold Italic"});

    fontStyleCombo.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, setFontStyle);

    function setFontStyle(evt:Event):void

    {

    var fontStyles:Object = "Bold";

    If (fontStyleCombo.selectedIndex > - 1).

    {

    fontStyles = fontStyleCombo.selectedItem.data;

    }

    var fontStyleFormat:TextRenderer = new TextRenderer();

    fontStyleFormat.fontStyle = fontStyles;

    inputTextRender01.setStyle (fontStyleFormat);

    }

    What class of object is the TextField?  If it is a dynamic TextField then it has properties or methods such as you try to implement.  For the TextField instance you should use the setTextFormat method as after you set the different formats to set.

  • Dynamic text style

    I have an empty text field that will be filled with dynamic text according to what random number is set up. How can I make a single word in one of these phrases in italics? I do not see in all ways obvious to do. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    One way is to assign the text to the textfield object using its htmlText property, where you wrap italic ( ) tags around the part you want in italics.

    Another way would be to use the setTextFormat of the TextField class that allows you to specify the index start and end for text to assign the format.

  • 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

    Picture 4.png

    Picture 6.png

    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.

  • How can I text in a dynamic text field to be a 'button '.

    Hi team,

    I have a project that has a bunch of variables I created for workd definitions.  I made a dynamic text box so that it loads just the exact text of the variable.

    NOW, the question is that I want to use a headset? (A href)? to find out if the user is clicking on a word inside the dynamic text box.

    There are some words in some definitions I have hepatitis also wrote definitions and separate variables for.  for example in the definition of promotion

    W5 Var = "Promotions".

    var def5 = "Promotions are where your company is looking to increase sales of a particular item by offering a good deal, advertising or a special screen. ';

    There is the word advertising, I would like to call a function that will be then set up the variable for pouring and thus alter the text in the dynamic text box

    I see a few examples online but I can't understand them and they use html or xml from a document external (I think?)

    Help, please!

    Here's the important bits of the code (please do not hurt you, laughing)

    W5 Var = "Promotions".

    var def5 = "Promotions are where your company is looking to increase sales of a particular item by offering a good deal, advertising or a special screen. ';

    function showdefinitions() {}

    worddefinitions. Play();

    wordDEF.text = years1;

    Def_word_1.text = ans2;

    wordDEF.visible = true;

    Def_word_1.Visible = true;

    Object (this.parent).defbackup.visible = false;

    }

    Object (this),.promotions_def.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showpromotions);

    function showpromotions(event:MouseEvent):void {}

    years1 = def5;

    years2 = w5;

    showdefinitions();

    }

    Is this possible?

    See you soon

    void

    use:

    function parseTextF(keyword:String,txt:String,dataS:String):String {}

    I think you should consider 3 cases.  1. a keyword is to the beginning, 2. in the Middle, 3. at the end of txt

    for example: If 2

    var a: Array = txt.split (keyword);

    ' return an error [0] + "" + word + ""+ a [1];

    and you can have more than 1 keyword in txt

    }

    p.s. Please check the useful/correct, if there is.
