Last Character Of Loaded Text Not Completely Visible
I load text into a dynamic text field, I set embedFonts property to true, set autoSize, apply a text format and set antiAlias to advanced (the text format uses a exported font from the library). When I test my movie, a part of the last character of my text is not visible. What is the cause of that and how can I fix it ?

Can't Get Â„¢ Character Loaded In Dynamic Text Field
I need the use of the chars â„¢ and Â® but only the latter appears. I'm using a loadVars object and an external .txt file which is loading with success, but where I need the phrase "Soo Bahk Doâ„¢ Moo Duk KwanÂ®," I only get "Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk KwanÂ®"

Why doesn't "â„¢" load?

Edit:
I'd like to add that I have chosen to embed all uppercase, lowercase, and punctuation marks, and I additionally added â„¢ and Â® to ensure they'd appear, but, the trademark logo still does not appear.

Dynamically Loaded Text File Doesn't Display In Text Box?
Hello People,
This is the scenario, hope you can help
I have a main mc, that loads into it an mc with a dynamically loaded external text file(" text mc")inside a text box(normal stuff). When the main mc load the text mc the external text file doesn't appear in the text box? When I execute the text mc by itself, it works sweet, text displays. I just need some help of getting the text to appear when it's loaded inside the main mc?

I've attached the text mc file so you can find the problem(note it will work fine, it's just when it's loaded inside the main mc the text doesn't display?)

thanks people

CreateTextField, Dynamically Loaded Text, And Setting Text Format..
I'm trying to format some text that i'm loading into a text box, that's inside a movie clip, that's created at load time. It seems that I have everything but the snippet of code that will apply the text formatting. I just don't know where to get it from, or rather, what to point it at.

my code is

Code:
//creates empty movie clip
this.createEmptyMovieClip("enter_mc", 10);
//creates text field inside movie clip
this.enter_mc.createTextField("welcome_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 300);
//sets text formatting
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.bold = true;
my_fmt.size = 20;
//

LV = new LoadVars();
// declare a new LoadVars object
LV.load("enterTxt.txt");
// load content in it
LV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// when the file is loaded...
_root.enter_mc.welcome_txt.text = this.enterTxt;
// load the value of the variable "enterTxt" in the
// file into the text field "named" welcome_txt
}
};
and that works to create the movie clip, the text box, and load the text.

this

Code:
_root.enter_mc.welcome_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
would make sense for formatting the text but it doesn't format the loaded text. there's nothing special about the text that's being loaded.

I'm at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dynamically Loaded Text?
I've done this before, a very LONG time ago - and i'm kind of fuzzy of how to do this...

On my dynamic text box, called myText with a variable of newsText - I am trying to load in this url: gg_news.txt

The text file looks like this:

Code:
&newsText=news this is the news etc etc etc etc.
(am I supposed to use quotes and semi colons to end it?)

and this is my script:

Code:
_root.loadVariables ("../gg_news.txt",0);
What do you think is the problem?
I've done this in Flash 5, and now i'm with MX and i'm doing quite well, but my client wants to use a dynamic update system - and I can't for the life of me figure out what i'm doing wrong...

Thanks if you can help!

Dynamically Loaded Text
Hello.

I am trying to load some text dynamically into my movie from a .txt files saved within the same folder (news.txt).

So far, I have created my dynamic text box, given it a variable name (news). I then go to the frame where I want my text to load, and I have added the following action: loadVariablesNum("news.txt", 0);

Finally, on the first line of my news.txt file, I have added: news=

Now, this all works fine when my text box is on frame number one of the timeline, and the text displays correctly, however, I now want to do the same thing but with a text box that is held within frame number 15 of a movie clip.

I have tried doing this a couple of times and it doesn't work for me, so am I doing something wrong and do I have do something else in order to have the text display correctly?

Thanks for you time

Dynamically Loaded Text
Hi there,

Quick question re loading text from an external text file into a dynamic text box .

On the main timeline I've used the following code and it works fine.

myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
news_txt.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
}
myLoadVars.load("news_1.txt");

news_txt is my text box and news_1.txt is the external text file.

Now I want to incorporate this text box into a movieclip. I've tried it and the text isn't loading. I think I need to adjust the code to reference the path to the text file. Not sure. Any help very gratefully received.

Many thanks

Dynamically Loaded Text
Hey guys I'm populating a dynamic text field from a text file.. but having troubles with line spacing...

http://www.actionscript.org/forums/a...3/t-36615.html

The above post describes the problems flash/windows/mac has interpreting line spacing..

What I'm trying to accomplish is just a little 'latest news' section, so the client can go into the text file, type in the date and a message under the date.

Would anyone have a suggested work around for this or maybe a different way completely.. as the line spacing isnt working properly.. and using constantly wouldn't really be user friendly.

EDIT: Might as well ask this while I have this post; would there be any reason why the UIScrollBar component is making my loaded text dissapear?.. Without it the multi-line text is there.. as soon as I drag the scrollbar to the text field the text dissapears when testing movie.

Dynamically Loaded Text
Hello once again kirupians, thus far you have been very helpful in my experience of learning flash and I hope that this time will proove sucessful as well.

** My dynamically loaded text will not scroll when loaded into my main movie **

For several reasons I've resorted to first getting the text to load into 'textwelcome.swf' and then 'textwelcome.swf' loads when the welcome button is released.
I am basing my external movie on kirupa's dynamic text loader and the buttons on my main movie are actually movieclips as i want them to be more attractive on rollover (mentioned in case it matters at all). The a/s on the buttons are as follows

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("textbox", 4);
    textbox.loadMovie("textwelcome.swf");
    textbox._x = 110;
    textbox._y = -50;
}

Which loads the external movie with the dynamically loaded text which by the way does work apart from the main movie.

Seeing as i had no need to specify a level in the external movie's a/s i can't understand why it would be something to do with levels and that leaves me completely and utterly useless as to what to fix or change.....

(Please do not get discouraged by all this text, any help or direction would be helpful and I am sorry if I have overlooked an obvious solution but i am not fluent with flash yet and it doesn't 'come to me' just yet as to the possibilites.)

Thank you.

Draggable Mc With Dynamically Loaded Text
I'm using Flash MX and have a basic understanding of Actionscript.

I have a mc. The mc is supposed to resemble a small window with a title bar. The 'window' can be minimized, maximized, and closed. The mc ('window') is draggable. Inside that mc are a number of buttons (one of which is the buttn that makes the mc draggable).There is also another movieclip into which I want to place a text box that dynamically loads a text file. The code =

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("news.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.newstext;
};

The text file loads fine. The problems now are:
1 The main mc - 'window' - drags erratically. It's jumpy and hesitates.
2 The other problem is that when I minimize my window (using : on (release) {setProperty("_root.win.bottombar", _yscale, "0");} )the lowerpart of the window disappears, but the text stays visible!!!!!

The same thing happens when I close the window (using:
on (Release) {setProperty("_root.win", _alpha, "0");} ).
The dynamically loaded text stays visible!!!

I certainly hope someone has an answer that will solve this issue for me.

Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text - How?
I'm using a custom scroller, which scrolls text inside a MC called textinfo - the text is just static text - this works perfectly, I can format and add as much text as I like and it scrolls nicely.

However, one one page, I need to do the same thing but the text needs to come from an external txt file. When I do this, I have to set the text box properties to 'Dynamic' - when I do this and play the movie - the text is invisible.

Basically, how can I scroll dynamic text with my custom scroller?

thanks

code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
showsList.htmlText = this.showsold;
}
};
loadText.load("Data2.txt");

Dynamically Loaded Text & Navigation
Hello all,

I'm new to this forum as well as Flash. So any help from here out is truly appreciated.

I'm currently working on a website for my bio which requires navigation. If anyone is familiar with gurusnetwork.com's "Display External Text" tut, that's where I'm at right now. I finally got the scrollbar to work with the loaded text but now I can't press on a button to go to another external text file. I've placed the stop action for each frame label and tried:

on (press){
gotoAndPlay("bio");
}

for the button but nothing happens. All text files start with the same variable as set for the dynamic text box. Also for the layer my text box is on I have placed this code in the frame:

loadVariablesNum("myBio.txt", 0);

I'm all out of ideas and I know there's probably something I'm overlooking. So to all of guru's out there please shed some light on this for me. To get an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish here's my first flash site http://fade.to/topgun

Hope I've explained enough and thanks for the help.
