[MX04] Required Fields Before Sending App?
Hello all,

I have a flash-to-php user application that is already functioning correctly but the only problem I have is required fields for it.

I have about 12 fields in my application and I need about 3 of them to be required fields (name, phone, email) without this, the application will not send and also put up a popup message saying to fill it out (which I am not sure how to do either)

If anyone can help me on this, it would be much appreciated.

[MX04] HELP Need Information N Editable Fields Using External .txt?
Hello everyone!

I'm in a bit of a pickle, which is not a good place to be.

I'm creating a presentation for a client and in this presentation I need a lead up page which has a series of editable text fields, and I'm not quite sure where to start.

1. There is to be a field where the client can punch in thier number and it will bring up information which is stored in an external database (Excel?), if they don't know thier number however, they then have the option of filling it out manually. I then need this to immediately create a new .txt file which will become this customers reference (provided one doesn't already exist).

2. Any information that is edited during the session needs to be able to be SAVED to an external .txt file (as above), which can then be called upon if the same client (number) is typed into the field mentioned above.

3. The presentation then moves on to a customisable shopfit, where the client decides how they want thier shop to look (this part is already complete and tested and works fine). However, at present I have a print button which the customer can select and it will print out thier options, but it has been requested (as I think the reps like to leave thier printers in thier other suit jackets) that I have an email option, this needs to email the picture (which normally gets printed) AND the information which was entered into the customer reference page.

My brain hurts, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful.

XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields...
My last thread kind of died, I guess, so here's another one that I hope will get me some help; it has an updated FLA attached and what I think to be some better descriptions of my problems... I know I'm totally indebted to whomever will help, but this is an emergency and I need some timely advice.

so here's the FLA, XML, and some sample images: kirupaTest2.zip

1. I pretty much have the enlarged pictures loading I guess, which was my major problem before, but it doesn't matter because I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:

ActionScript Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>var: testString:String = this; //storing how many characters are in the string above...var: stringNumb:Number = testString.length;//using that value to take off the last string (hopefully the number)var: finalString = testString.charAt(stringNumb);


And that didn't work. (The code above was entered around line 71 in the layer "actions"; it's gone now)


2. An even bigger problem is I have some containers being drawn dynamically from height and width values pulled from an XML file. When I test the code that creates the objects using hard-coded values, it works fine; say if I put 481 in for the width and 375 for the height. But if I try to do it (sort of) dynamically like:


ActionScript Code:
var picHeight:Number = projects[5].bigPics[0].picHeightvar picWidth:Number = projects[5].bigPics[0].picWidth


it gets all screwed up; please try it for yourself in the supplied FLA. It's hard to describe what goes wrong; some things are drawn, and others aren't. I think it's because the objects are trying to draw before they have the data to draw with. This can be seen at lines 129 and 130.


3. Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

If I can clarify, please let me know.

Hello there.

I want to generate a dynamic text field in action scrip, but I want the length to dynamically adjust to suite the load of the external txt file. So when I change the text I won't have to adjust my text fields or action script.

Can this be done and if so, how would I go about doing it?

Help With Dynamic Text Fields
1) First the easy part. I want to make a text field where I can enter some information like my name for example, and then have it later appear in my flash movie - how do I go about doing this?

2) Down the road, I want to be able to create a text field which allows for formatting (bold, font size, etc), which can then be imported directly into a flash movie from a website. Additionally, I want to be able to attach files as well - is this the sort of thing coldfusion is for?

Thanks for the help.

Dynamic Text Fields
Hello there!

wow it's been a while since i've been here, so i'd like to start things off with a question! ^_^

i'm working on this code for dynamic text fields... i got it working just fine, however i'm trying to make a loop and then build a new text field for the number of entities but i just can't get it to work...


Code:
_global.num_entities_ = 5;
if (_global.num_entities_ != 0) {
for (i=0; i<_global.num_entities_; i++) {
_Ypos = i*16;
_i = "_" + i;
_root.createTextField(_i, i, 0, _Ypos, 150, 16);
_i.border = true;
_i.borderColor = "0xFF0000";
_i.text = "Watson, i need you!";
trace(_i);
trace(_Ypos);}
} else {
trace("There are no Entity values.");
}
stop();
the problem seems to be with the "_i" as a name for the text field.. it just dosn't want to work...

anyone have any clues how to get around this or fix my poor code. ^_^

thanks a lot!

Dynamic Text Fields
Want to create textfields dynamicaly. They will be used as url links. These change quite often so I want to read them from text file. The following code reads the variable then parses them into what is viewed and the links. When I debug this all the variables are correct but all I get is a blank screen. Been at this for 4 hours. I am out of ideas. Please Help TIA


loadlinks = new LoadVars();
loadlinks.load("links.txt");

loadlinks.onLoad = function(success){
textdepth = 1;
textx= 50
linkarray = loadlinks.link.split(",");

for(i = 0;i < linkarray.length ;i++){
currentlink = "link_"+i;
seperator = linkarray[i].indexOf("|");
viewpart = linkarray[i].substr(0,seperator -1);
linkpart = linkarray[i].substr(seperator + 1);
_root.createTextField(currentlink,textdepth,50,50, 300,100);
currentlink.html = true;
currentlink.htmlText = viewpart;
//-----------------------------------------------------
//apply style with TextFormat
linkstyle = new TextFormat();
linkstyle.url =linkpart;
linkstyle.target = "_blank";
link.text = viewpart;
link.setTextFormat(linkstyle);

textx = textx + 50;
textdepth = textdepth + 1;

Dynamic Text Fields
Im currently working with a document that contains dynamic text fields. When a button is clicked it fills in the correct information using variables. The problem that i am experiencing is that the font specified in the field looks to lose all anti aliasing when it is filled. This is impotant cause the dynamic field appears right after static text so they need to look similar.

Does anybody know why the text appears jagged in the dynamic field?

Html In Dynamic Fields
Hi,

I've got a movie with a dynamic text field, loading data from a php file in html format. Problem is that normal text loads fine, but when I try to format into bold with html tags at the php end, no text is displayed within the field.

I've tried to embed both a normal and bold version of the font within the movie, but still the same. One work around I've found is to set the dynamic text field not bold, and then have another dynamic text field on the stage set to bold and the same font, but this is a bit clumsy.

If anyone can shed some light, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Dynamic Text Fields
Hi,

I'm using dynamic text fields that are loading the text from external .txt files. The problem is that, in some cases, the amount of text is bigger than text field area. I want to add a button that, when the user clicks it, he'll see the missing parts of the text. I know I can do that by breaking the text into different variables, but I would prefer to do that dynamically. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joao Afonso

Getting XML To Populate Dynamic Fields
I've done some looking around and most of the tutorials I find on the net have to do with using the XML components to create lists of data or dropdowns or etc.

All I want to do with the current XML that I'm working with is to have it display text, populate links, and show images. Almost no interactivity (excepting three links).

Could someone direct me where to go from here?

Here's the code I've got:


Code:
// The first step is to activate the XML object
kpxml = new XML();
/*
With the XML Object now active you must now load an XML foramtted document.
Any DTD or XLS formatting will be ignored.
*/
kpxml.onLoad = myLoad;
kpxml.load("kpts.xml");
// Before proceeding to far into the program, make sure the XML document has loaded
// Extract information from the XML file
function myLoad(ok) {
if (ok == true) {
Publish(this.firstChild);
}
}

function Publish(kpXMLNode) {

if (kpXMLNode.nodeName == "datapacket") {
datapacket = kpXMLNode.firstChild;

if (datapacket.firstChild == "features") {
features = datapacket.firstChild;

Is this even close to right? Is there an easier way of doing this?

The flash I'm working on is located here. All the images, the 'continued...' links and the latin text is going to be brought through the XML doc.

Dynamic Text Fields
Some Background: so I took over this project from a previous company. I was given flash ad files to reference for new ad files I am creating. The files are semi-complicated in that they have 2 text input boxes working independently of each other. One does one search and the other does another search. So the first task I had to do was to make the search buttons use the clickTAG format so they were trackable (the old versions I was given were not using this - all hardcoded URLs).

So in making this adjustment somehow I have broken the input field's (dynamic text) ability to make the initial text disappear. Basically these fields are set up so that the field label is in the text box and when the user clicks in the text box the label is supposed to disappear. It does this in the original SWF file that was created in an oler version of FLASH without the clickTAG included. I am stumped as I have adjusted for the movie level etc. and for some reason it still will not change the text in the input field from the title to being a blank input field when the user click on it. Is there an easy solution for this? I am reasearching this now but have not found anything yet that addresses this. thanks in advance for your help.

Dynamic Text Fields
Help please, someone!!!
On frame 1, I did a collision test on my clips with the hitTest function (there's about 10 clips which can be dragged and dropped onto a "target" clip) . When 1 clip hits another target one, the name of the clip is displayed in a dynamic text field.
Later on, ie some few frames later, I want to display again what was displayed on frame 1 without any action from the user. Moreover, the user can again drag and drop more clips, which should (I hope) add their names on the field.
So please how do I do both these things (ie: 1. display previous field content on another field in later frame and 2. make sure that the names of the clips are added to the text field ) ???
Many thanks. This is a new adventure for me and I've got THE Bug (and this is for an important Masters degree project I'm doing so I would be so so pleased if you could help!!)

Dynamic Text Fields
Hi All and Happy New Year,
I am having trouble constructing dynamic text fields that need to be updated for a real estate site.
First of all it will not read or render html when it reads the txt. file.
Second i need to update 10 seperate fields at the same time and I am not sure how to go about it especially putting a preloader into it.
Any help would be great

myData.onLoad = function() {
if(selectedindex == 0){
_root.displayArea.text = this.code1;
}
if(selectedindex == 1){
_root.displayArea.text = this.code2;
}
if(selectedindex == 2){
_root.displayArea.text = this.code3;
}
if(selectedindex == 3){
_root.displayArea.text = this.code4;
}
if(selectedindex == 4){
_root.displayArea.text = this.code5;
}
if(selectedindex == 5){
_root.displayArea.text = this.code6;

<img Src> Tag In Dynamic Text Fields
Okay so I've set up a dynamic text filed to read from an external text file, and to except html tags, so I can get links and text formatting tags to be recognised, but I don't seem to be able to use the <img src> tag to display images

for example I have this at the top of the txt file:

<img src='http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif'>

(it was an easy image just for reference... )

But it is not displayed..

Any ideas?

Dynamic Search Fields
Hey Guys

Here is the situation. I have a table populated with xml data using the data connector component and data binding.

What I want to do though is have a search field that as soon as the user starts to type in the search field the table automatically starts to match what they are typing with titles in it's list and removes the rest?

Like on the PS2 site they have a 'gamefinder' search field on the 'Games' Page and as you type in a game title the list beneath of all the games refines until you get to the title you are searching for?

Is there already a component for this? If not how would I go about building this function?

Thanks in advance

Dynamic Text Fields
Morning all,

I have a simple question.

If I have an dynamic textfield in side a movie clip. Why doesn't it get the variables.
I load and html-file where my variables is held. Like this: loadVariablesNum("textfield.html", 0);.
But the dynamic textfield refuses to show them. Even thou I have set the textfield to get the variable "textfield" from the html file. It works if the textfield is out side the MC, but not when it's inside.

Does anyone knows why, or what to do?

Cheers,
Fredrik

Detection Of Changes In The Dynamic Fields
Hi,

my problem is simply. I need do a detection any changes in the dynamic fields.

I know do it for input fields, but not for dynamic. Text in dynamic field I change external or with buttons.

Example for input fields:
-----------------------------
this.createTextField("myInputText_txt", 99, 10, 10, 300, 20);
myInputText_txt.border = true;
myInputText_txt.type = "input";

myInputText_txt.onChanged = function(textfield_txt:TextField) {
trace("the value of "+textfield_txt._name+" was changed.);
};
-----------------------------

Did this somebody?

Dynamic Text Fields...
Here's the deal. I have a dynamic text field that I am loading in an HTML file. No problems there. I also have a scroll slider that I made to scroll the text. Still no problems.

The problem is that I want to hide the scroll bar when the text doesn't need to scroll. Is there a way to find out the length of the imported text or something like that.

I have tried things like this:

trace(_root.subNav.textArea.length);
and evaluating that in an if statement and nothing seems to be working.

but it always returns 1?? wether I add to the HTML file or not? Any help would be appreciated.

-brad
