Flash :: Dynamic Text Field On Angle?

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,

-Scott

Asp Database Field Loaded Into Dynamic Text Field -HELP
Hi all,
after much trial and error and still having troubles i thought i would ask people that maybe know what there doing.
Im using Flash 8 pro, and have placed textarea component on stage and gave it an instantce name, need to pull a single record from a record database using asp.

This is my approach but if there is an even easier way let me know.

I have created the following pages.
webpage.asp (end result web page that shows the text field to user)
script.asp( asp script that sends data back/forth to flash

i used the FlashVars param to pass a variable into the flash movie.
variable is named auto_num. im using this to then pass it back out of flash to filter the recordset.

then on the flash movie.swf. all on root level. i have the following code

var text_value; //(this is the value sent back from asp page string)
//not sure if i needed to declare it but did anyways.

var_sender = new LoadVars();
myData = new LoadVars();

var_sender.auto_number = auto_num //(auto_num is loaded flashvars param)

myData.onLoad = function() {
my_text_1.text = this.text_value
};
myData.sendAndLoad("http://www.********.com/script.asp", myData ,"POST");

on the script page i have a record set that filters for form variable named auto_number. all of code is in asp. I call a response.write to write the text_value back to the flash movie.

here is the heart of the script.asp code. not showing the record set filtering stuff.

<% Dim text_value
text_value = "text_value="&(Recordset1.Fields.Item("long_des"). Value)

response.write(text_value)
%>

but i get undefined and can never get the variables to load into the flash movie. i want to export as flash player 6 or 7. what am i doing wrong here?

So in a nutshell, i have an asp page that shows a record and would like to display the long description field of that record in a flash dynamic text box.

I can make it work by passing the entire long description from record set within the flashvars param but that seems like a real clunky way to do it pasing that much text within the flashvars param.

Does anyone know of simple database connectivity kits that extend flash for the semi-programmer guys?

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

[AS2] Changing Text In Dynamic Text Field With Dynamic Instance Name
I dont know what I am missing here but what I want to do is change the text inside a dynamic text field via actionscript. the code I am using runs in a loop within a function. Trace is outputting the correct values.

PHP Code:

 for(i=0; i<=4; i++) {
 if(_root["order_"+ q][i] == 0) {
 ["order_"+ i]text = "First";
 trace("first");
 } else if (_root["order_"+ q][i] == 1) {
 ["order_"+ i]text = "Second";
 trace("Second");
 } else if (_root["order_"+ q][i] == 2) {
 ["order_"+ i]text = "Third";
 trace("Third");
 } else if (_root["order_"+ q][i] == 3) {
 ["order_"+ i]text = "Fourth";
 trace("Fourth");
 } else if (_root["order_"+ q][i] == 4) {
 ["order_"+ i]text = "Fifth";
 trace("Fifth");
 }
 }

basically I want to do this -

PHP Code:

order_0.text = "First";

So how can I change this line to work as expected?

PHP Code:

["order_"+ i]text = "First";

EDIT- The instance names for the dynamic text fields are set
Thanks

Loaded Text File Wont Show All Of The Text In Dynamic Text Field
When I load an external text file into flash and display the string in a dynamic text box, not all of the text will show in the text box; and using scroll button to scroll the text doesnt help.

Is It Possible To Change A Text Field From Dynamic Text To Static Text At Runtime?
The reason is because the dynamic text appears to be taking up about 90 % of the CPU usuage and I dont know any other way to reduce the CPU usage.

The text areas pull in lots of data from text files which slows down the program.

Any ideas?

Dynamic Text Field Receiving Dynamic Variables...
or something like that . . .

This is my problem: I'm generating _global variables via XML. Each variable represents different types of copy, of varying lengths. For Example:

_global.introduction = xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
_global.body = xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeVa lue;
_global.summary = xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.firstC hild.nodeValue;

I want to create ONE text field, with scrolling, that will act as a template to house all types of content. I've assigned a variable that equals "content" to this text field. . . My problem is, I can't get the text field variable (content) to dynamically swap for the global variable (_global.introduction) in order to display the proper content.

This seems simple, but something's not working for me. Any thoughts? . . . BIG thanks in advance!

Dynamic Text Field And Dynamic Xml Field
Good evening,

After days of debugging, I find myself cornered by identifying the absence of content in a dynamic xml field.

I am trying to build a function that will move the playhead to a new frame "waiting" when the field is undefined. When the field is populated, the playhead will move to an active frame "vote".

I have attempted several variations on the following code and nothing has worked as of yet.

if (_root.mc_xml.b1v.text=="") {
trace("waiting");
} else if {
trace("vote");
}

// never got it to print anything but vote

There are five possible strings that can dynamically populate b1v from the xml: "Aye", "Nay", "Abstain", "Absent", "NP".

When the vote is complete the xml nodes and their children disappear and flash sees the xml text field as undefined.

What is the correct AS to target or check for null or undefined?

is null
=null
!=null
=undefined
is undefined
!=undefined

I just need a boolean answer. Please someone release me from this loop.

Thanks

When I test my movie, the first time I go to the blog page, the text from the external text file (AND the CSS styles) show up fine. But when I click from the blog page to go to the "profit calculator" or "contact" pages and THEN click to go BACK to the blog page, the blog page animates back in, and right as the animation ends, the text on the blog page suddenly disappears and won't come back. PLEASE help me figure this out!

Button Function - Load Text File To Dynamic Text Field
Hey again,

okay straight into it. I have a few button named b1 b2 b3 and so on. Now these buttons i want to load a text file into a dynamic text field called myText. Now the text files which will be loaded contain html tags, so i want to have that property set.

Now current I have home.text loading into myText automically on swf loading. But when I click any of the buttons the text file won't change over.

Now my menu is seperate to the body. I have 3 swf files, one called base.swf, nav.swf and body.swf. Base.swf loads nav and body onto it.

here is what i have as the script.

Frame1 - body.swf

_root.onData = function(){
myText.html = true;
myText.htmltext = _root.myInfo;
}

loadVariables("home.txt", _root);
loadMovie("scratchy.swf", logo);

Frame1 - nav.swf - gigsbut (button)
on (release) {
loadVariables("gigs.txt", _root.body);
}

can anyone help point out where I am going wrong. I have a feeling I am not targeting the text field right from the button. If you could help point me in the right direction rather then give me the answer that would be good as I would learn better from that. Thanks

Wolfie

PS - Let me know if you want or need more info. Am happy to post it up.

Using Buttons To Change The Text File A Dynamic Text Field Loads?
I have a text field that loads text from a text document which works great for the news section of my site. However, is there a way I can keep that same text field and change it's content based on what button is pressed? For instance, if someone is viewing the "news" section of my site, and then they click on the "links" button, can I unload news.txt and load links.txt into that text field?

Dynamic Text Field Loads Text, Font Not Showing Properly
I have a flash 8 movie in which there is a dynamic text field loading data from the server. The data loads beautifully and appears in a text field formatted as html.

This html-formatted text field uses a stylesheet as well which works great for everything except the font. Using Flash, I have specified a font of DIN-Medium for the dynamic text box on my stage and yet the text that appears when I publish to my hosting provider appears to be Times New Roman. WTF?

My stylesheet does not specify any font family.

Can anyone tell me how I might get the dynamic text box to show the text using the DIN font? Do I need to export the font in the library of my flash movie or something?

Here's my actionscript:

PHP Code:

stop();

import TextField.StyleSheet;
var myStyleSheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
myStyleSheet.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
//        trace("Styles loaded:");
    } else {
//        trace("Error loading CSS");
    }
};
myStyleSheet.load("styles.css");
txtFilmNews.html = true;
txtFilmNews.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
txtFilmNews.width = 295;
txtFilmNews.autoSize = true;
txtFilmNews.selectable = false;

var lvFilmNews:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lvFilmNews.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        txtFilmNews.htmlText = lvFilmNews.html;
    } else {
        trace('load failure!');
    }
}
lvFilmNews.load('getHTML.php?q=filmNews');

Here is my stylesheet:

Code:

p {
color: #53301A;
font-size: 12px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border:none;
}

.title {
font-size: 15px;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #D06F1A;
font-weight:bold;
}

a {
color: #D06F1A;

Help With Dynamic Text Field Being Populated From A Button On Same Stage Using Text Files...
I am using the following code:

var ImportsText = "Imports";
Imports.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doClick);
function doClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
List.text = ImportsText;
}

This will generate the word Imports on my List.text dynamic text field.

I have a list of 30 things that need to go in the place of the word imports, one each per line.

Is there a way for me to create a text file and load it instead?

So I have button1 which loads the text from the text file text1.txt and puts it in Last.text
and so button2 loads the text from the text file text2.txt and it is put in last.text

and so on.

Would like the text files to be able to have some formating that is translated to the Last.text

I am very new to AS3.0 so please bar with me. I think I am almost understanding what I need to do but I need a push in the right direction.

Thanks allot in advance.

which is working well. I just want to attach an action to buttons which will switch the text for different variables in the same text file, in a single text box named archivetitle.

ie.

archivetitle.text = this.title1;
when button one is pressed

Code:
archivetitle.text = this.title2;
when button two is pressed.

Basically, how do i access an already loaded text object to refresh to a new variable? Thanks!

Loss Of Text Formatting When Using Dynamic Text Field & Scroller
Hi all,

Using MX...

Another small problemo im having is when i format text in my dynamic text field and attch the scroller component to it, in preview mode i lose all the text format and it goes to the first text format it encounters and uses that for everything else in the dynamic text box.

Im not actually loading any text into the dynamic text box, im just using it with static text, so i can use the scroller component.(as i understand it, you can only attach the scroller component to a dynamic text box ??)

Why am i losing my text format AND is there a better way to have a scrolling text field when i just want to use static text...???

Thanks guys..hope thats not too confusing

Can Text Loaded From Variable Be Scrolled In A Dynamic Text Field ?
Simple problem here.

I put a dynamic text field on the stage. Added a scroll bar component and filled in the values in the parameter box. I typed lots of text directly into the text field, and it scrolled well. So far, so good.

Now I wanted to load that text from an external file, did the necessary action script und assigned the text to a variable, added this variable to the dynamic text field parameters.

Now the text field shows as much of the text as fits in it, but the text can not be scrolled any more. The rest of the text is just cut off.

Why the **** ???

And - can it be made scrollable somehow?

And if not - why the **** not ???

Loading Text Into Dynamic Text Field With Full Justify - Can It Be Done
Hi!

Trying to load in text into a dynamic text field that is html formatted and "full" justify the text.

Cant seem to full justfiy the text.
"full justify": spreads text out to fill up a whole line by automatically setting the spacing between words.

1)
I have tried using html formatting to align the text: 
justify isnt accepted by flash

2)
set the text field in flash to full justify
works fine if text inputted into the dynamic text field before compiling
But if text is loaded in, then the formatting is lost.

Anyone got any ideas how to do this?

I'm thinking of using php's GD lib to create a jpg using text retrieved from a database with the text fully formatted in the jpg image and loading in the jpg image, but then I lose my html formatting.

any other solutions? or have I overlooked something here?

cheers

Determining Number Of Lines Of Text In A Dynamic Text Field
I'm working on a movie that has a large number of dynamic text fields in it, which are being fed data from .xml sources.

The width of the dynamic text fields are set and cannot be changed, and I need is to find a way to determine how many lines tall each text field will need to be to fit it's data. If I were using a monospaced font this could be done pretty easily, but it has to use a non-monospaced font since the look of the piece is critical.

So.. is there any way to determine when Flash uses a linefeed within a dynamic text field? Or any way to find out how many lines have been filled with text after it's been populated with data?

Thank you.

It doesn't make sense to me that i have it working for one text field and not for the other....I don't THINK that I am doing anything differently between them...?

[MX04] Dynamic Text Field Not Displaying Text (NOT EMBEDDED)
Hello,

I am working on a Flash portfolio website for myself. I have several dynamic text boxes that display information about the various pieces in my portfolio. The text content of these boxes is loaded from external .txt files. The text fields are set to use "_sans" font and there is NO font embedding.

Recently, while working, I tested the site and noticed that my text boxes were no long displaying data. Through testing the problem I was able to determine that the data is being loaded from the external .txt files and into the correct variables, however, the text is not "appearing" in the text fields at run time.

I tried placing a new dynamic text box on the _root of the movie and writing the following code on the first frame of the ROOT timeline:

Code:
_root.myTest_text.text = "this is a test"
the dynamic text field (with instance name "myTest_text") again appeared blank at runtime. As before, the font was set to _sans and NO embedding was taking place.

I tried the same text box and the same code in the clean, empty file and it worked fine.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Is it a bug? Will I need to rebuild the file from scratch?

If anyone has any assistance or advice to offer I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

These texts contain html links (<a href="page.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a> and I have "render as HTML" on and "selectable" off in my dynamic text field. Also, I am loading a CSS file. Not only do I not have a hand cursor, but I do not even have any of the text from that piece of html code down. What is going on with this? Please respond asap, as I have been struggling with this for a day now. Here is the Actionscript for loading the CSS:

var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("styles.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
} else {
trace("Error loading CSS file.");
}
};

var zloc_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
zloc_lv.load("zloc.txt");
zloc_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
} else {
trace("unable to load text file.");
}
};
zloc_txt.html = true;
zloc_txt.editable = false;
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("backgroundColor" , "transparent");
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("border styles" , "solid");

Here is a sample of the text file code:

&content=Northwest Arkansas Locations
121 Main St.
Russellville, AK 77801

Apply Typed Text To A Dynamic Text Field Without Selecting It
I'm trying to make a Dos like flash application, although I'm finding the problem where the cursor in DOS is different the the vertical one in regular text fields like on internet browsers. My attempt was to have an invisible movie clip that said...

onClipEvent (enterframe) {
if (Key.isDown(97)) {
_root.dos = _root.dos + "a"; }
if (Key.isDown(98)) {
_root.dos = _root.dos + "b"; } //...

and etc. But this isn't working, I always get capitcal characters. Is there a more appropriate way to confront this problem? If anyone knows how, please help me :)

Can't Access Dynamic Text>properties>var (text Input Field) In AS3
Hello,

I got VB to put text in a dynamic text field I created in actionscript 2 but can't get it to work with as3. The difference being that in as2 I can draw a dynamic text field on the stage name the instance 'testField' in properties and then there is a var: text box also in properties where I can add a variable name 'testVar.' As3 won't let me access that var:text box in properties. Why is this? For some reason VB needs both the instance name 'testField' and also the variable name 'testVar.' How do I set the variable name in as3 for a dynamic text field? Is the var:text box in properties to give the dynamic text field a variable name in as2?

Thank you if you can help me clear this up! If something in my questions does not make sense please ask me!

Problem Loading Text Into Rotated Dynamic Text Field
Hi there

With help from Stratification, I've sorted out my previous problem, but alas it grew into a more insidious and tedious mire. Especially, I am sure, for people who know what theyre doing: I'm still rather daunted by Actionscript.

SO, I'm trying to load a text file, one.txt, into a dynamic text field. Simple enough, but this time I wanted to have the field rotated to a specific angle, and this requirement defeats my meagre knowledge. I've got a rotated dynamic text field, but I can only fill it with text typed into the actionscript (I don't know the term for this) as opposed to loaded from an external text file.

Strat kindly gave me the following code:

stop();
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onData = function(src:String) {
if(src != undefined){
my_txt.text = src;
}
else{
trace("Woops, didn't load");
}
}
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "verd";
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 120);
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
//If this text is what we see then something didn't happen correctly.
my_txt.text = "Not Loaded";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
my_txt._rotation = 45;
//Now that everything is set up, load our text
loadText.load("one.txt");

But when I try it, the "Not Loaded" text appears, so something went wrong, and it's beyond me to see what.

If anybody can offer any help I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers!
