[F8] Adding Text Field In Scene 2
I have a two scene movie
In the second scene i have
Code:
createTextField("word_txt", 2000, 100, 100, 300, 100);
word_txt.multiline = true;
word_txt.wordWrap = true;
word_txt.border=true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
my_fmt.underline = true;
word_txt.text = "This is my first test field object text.";
word_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
If I export the whole movie this doesn't work
If I export just the second scene it does work.
What do I need to alter to make it work if I export the whole scene
THanks in advance

Adding Text Field Using As
this is a rather basic question.
I've been creating my elements in flash, and then deleting them from the stage and then adding and controlling them with as. (var lala:thumb = new thumb()
so i'd have an item in my library with the class of thumb.. you know.. the regular way. but, you can't have a text field in your library, so I could just put a text field inside a movie clip, or preferably a sprite, and then give it an instance name to get at it to change the text.
or I could create the text field completely in as. but that seems to be more involved, and i guess i just wanted to avoid it because I wanted to design using flash..
so my question is, could anyone give me any tips or point me in the direction of the simplest route of integrating text. should I use AS? is it easy to use fonts besides system fonts? any pointers really.. thanks..
Adding Value Of A Text Field To A URL?
Hi! Total Flash newbie, here.
I'm trying to put together a quick little Google site search box for a Flash site I'm building. I'm not doing something right with the syntax, however - I can't figure out how to add the contents of the "search" box to the URL. This is what I'm trying to do with the submit button:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("google URL part 1"+ Contents of Search Box goes here, which is what I'm having trouble with + "google URL part 2", "_blank");
}
It works fine when I just add the search term to the URL manually. I just need to know how to grab that data from the text field.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Adding To A Dynamic Text Field
Is there a way to add info to a dynamic text field?
For example, if an object on the stage is pressed it's name and color get sent to a text field. When another one gets pressed i want it's name and color to be added below the previous one so a list is created. But, if the shape and color is changed on the first object it will update the text field that previously described it. Is this possible?
Help Needed Adding Listener To Text Field
I have two text fields, one above the other, which will be pulling in text dynamically.
The second text field should position itself depending on how high the first field is. Normally I would use an empty movieclip and som onClipEvent (enterFrame) to control the second text filed, but this time I want to do it right using a listener.
However I am not sure what to put into the code which will trigger the listener. I want something like "onChange" but that doesn't seem to exsists. I've tried with "onLoadComplete" but no luch there either
This is my code. Can anybody push me in the right direction:
PHP Code:
var introListener:Object;
introListener = new Object();
introListener.onLoadComplete = function ():Void{
pagetext_txt._y = intro_txt._y + intro_txt._height+10;
trace("called listener");
}
intro_txt.autoSize = true;
intro_txt.addListener(introListener);
intro_txt.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit., dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Praesent nisl felis, semper sit amet, mollis condimentum";
pagetext_txt.text="second text";
Adding An Event Listener To A Text Field
I need to add an event listener to a text field. Essentially, I want to execute some function every time new text is added to the field. Input to the text field happens through a virtual keyboard, not a real keyboard. So, is it possible to add an event listener that will accomplish this to a text field? Something like...
textFieldOne.addEventListener(SomeKindofEvent.Some thingHappensHere,SomeFunction)
muchas gracias,

Adding A Text Field To A Number Of FLA Files
I have a number of SWF and now I need to add an entry text field to all of
them.
I do not want to find myself creating a text field in every single FLA
I wonder if I can create in, say, in an .AS file using something like
createEmptyMovieClip and then include it into relevant FLA?
Or what other solutions are available?

URGENT Adding Scrollbars To A Dynamic Text Field
I have put a Dynamic text field in my flash. To load in a HTML text (news.txt).
But the file is to long and i want to add a scroll bar to scoll up and down the text field.
I know this can be done but i dont know the script to do this.
I have been to tutorials and there all in flash 4 and the script is different according to my debugger.
If you could do a small example of how to do this in flash and then send it me to, so i can rip it to pieces and see how it works it would be MOST welcome!

Adding Html Formatting To External Text Field
Hi, apologies if you read this post in my previous entry, i should have started it as a new topic..
I've got a dynamic textfield calling an external text file from the server OK, but I want to add a bit of formatting e.g. bolding the titles. I've read a few posts on this, but am getting a headache working out what I change in my code! Or do I change something in the external file itself?
The textfield is called load_txt (the var: my_lv)
The action applies to the layer is:
my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.load("http://www.europahost.net/nrg/load_txt.txt");
my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
load_txt.htmlText = this.load_txt;
trace("loaded");
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};
Thanks in adv

Adding Text To Input Field At The Click Of A Button
The www.bbc.co.uk/raw has a flash move at http://www.bbc.co.uk/raw/gamesandquizzes/storytelling/ choose "story writing" (left selection).
It has a simple way of adding text by clicking the button and adding it to the input field where the curser is left.
I have tried to repeat it with external .txt files but all i seem to be able to do is replace all the text when I click the button.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction or even give me an idea what this function is called so I can add it to my project.:confused:
Thanks

i need to add a text field/box/area to an existing scene whereby a text file or html file can be reference for the content. the 'cleint' needs to update the site content themselves but has no knowledge of flash and wants something quick and easy (like editing a simple text docuiment).

loadVariablesNum ("content.txt", 0);
stop ();
i am using flash 5.0. only moderate knowledge level.

Trying To Pass Text From Form Text Field To A Flash Dynamic Text Field
Hi, I was hoping someone might enlighten me as to how/if I can do this...
Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
Your help/advice would be greatly appreciated,

Adding A Link To Scene
Hi,
I am a total beginner in Flash and wanted to know, how to add a link that opens in a new window to a scene?
I found out that on AS2 it was done in a manner similar to:
ActionScript Code:
on (release)
{
getURL("http://www.google.com",_new)
}
or something like that.
Right now I got to this:
ActionScript Code:
Scene.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goTo);
function goTo(e:MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/");
navigateToURL(request);
}
But I get an error 1061
Basically I need to add a link to another web page on my banner.
Help please?!

Adding A Scene Distorts Images

So..anyone with the solution?
Thnx in advance.

Adding 2 Sound Fx To A Scene But It Interupts The First Loop
Hi, i am working through one of the tutorials in swish and i have come accross a problem. IN THE TUTORIAL "THIS IS MY MESSAGE" i have added the vector graphics and the initial sound. However i wanted to added a sound effect when the first picture loaded in. When i did this my first sound loop cuts of then startes again when the sound fx is meant to cut in. So i look at sound/actions panel. I loop 88amp3 15 times and then at my first jpeg i loop a sound fx once. But when i play the whole scene my sound fx cuts in through the whole thing. When i go back to the sound panel i find that the setting have changed and the soundfx wants to play 15 times now overiding my initial 88amp3 sound loop. Its just that in future i want to put key sounds along side pics loading in and what not, and im not sure how to co-ordinate this. Anyone know what im doing wrong? Im pretty sure im close but i cant find the solution. Any takers?
Regards,
Gibbo.
Images Look Crappy When Adding Preload-scene
I have an imagesequence that should be exported with the swf in highest quality. Works great on it self and all, no problem whatsoever, UNTIL....
I added a preloader in a scene

Can someone help me with this problem?
Much appreciated,

Adding Scene Makes Images Fuzzy
I have a flash movie (flash 5) with imported PNGs for buttons. When I add a new scene (either by duplicating or adding new), the quality of these images plummets, even though I have the publish settings set to 100% jpg quality. As soon as I delete the new scene(s), the quality is restored. Obviously I can't publish a movie with poor quality images (it's like they've been enlarged and then over-sharpened in paintshop pro or similar, except they haven't). Does anyone know if/how I can remedy this? TIA

Please help me out! Thanks.

Getting A Text String Value From A Text Field And Duplicating It In Another Text Field
I'm trying to take the text from one text field and duplicate it in another.
I want to display the text that is in the text field _root.MC_Control.tab_title in another text field called _root,video_title.
I have tried this:
_root.video_title.text = _root.MC_Control.tab_title.text;
and this:
_root.video_title.text == _root.MC_Control.tab_title.text;
neither one seems work....am I missing something?
[FMX04] AS - Showing Text Field As HTML Field With XML/CDATA.
Hey all -
Trying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.
The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:
this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()
I know I need to do more than just change it to ".html" instead of ".text" and have tried a couple things, but nothing seems to work.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Code:
//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML ();
myXML.load(newXml);
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
//Load XML file
myXML.load("PBintro.xml");
//Make a reference to current timeline
myXML.ref = this
// Parse XML and fetch
myXML.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
var root = this.firstChild ;
nodes = root.childNodes
for(var i=0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
this.ref["Title_txt"+i].text = nodes[i].attributes.name
subnodes = nodes[i].childNodes
this.ref["Comments_txt"+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["Link_txt"+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["Link_txt"+i] = subnodes[1].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].loadMovie(subnodes[2].firstChild.toString())
this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["textField"+i] = subnodes[4].firstChild.toString()
}
} else trace("Error loading XML document")
}
Input Text Field To Dynamic Text Field
Ok, I have an input text field with a variable name of "enter", and a dynamic text field with a variable name of "display". I also have a button on the stage. I want it so that when you press the button, it checks what the user has put into the input text field, and if it is valid it will display a certain message in the dynamic text field.
For example:
If the user types in "hydrogen" and then clicks the button, I want the dynamic text field to display the letter H. Likewise, if the user types in "oxygen" and then clicks the button, I want the dynamic text field to display the letter O. And finally, if the user types in something that is not specified in the code, it will just display "Not Valid".
I tried doing this with an on(release) action and then some if statements, but nomatter what I typed in it would always display H. I'm probably overlooking something simple, but nonetheless, I need help. Thanks

XML And MC Text Field Propigation (text Field Appear At Frame 2)
I am using xml and actionscript to propicate two fields in a mc.
The problem I am having is that both fields dont show up until the second frame of the mc. since they are not on the first frame the xml doesnt propicate the fields.
Is there any way to refence a field on the second from of a MC
I am using the following code:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.attractions = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.description = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.theaterinfo.header.text = _root.attractions;
_root.theaterinfo.description.text = _root.description;
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("attractions.xml");
stop();
The text boxs header and description dont appear until the second frame of the MC theaterinfo
If i move these text field to the first frame they propigate with their text just fine. once they are moved to the second frame they no longer work.
edit: I also would like to mention that the movie clip theaterinfo has frame one blank with a stop(); command and then on frame 2 the dynamic text fields are referenced.
all help is much apreaciated
Thanks
