Flash :: Linking In Dynamic Field Question.

No Right-click, And Dynamic Text-field Linking.
Hi! I'm new here, and need a smidge of help.

I've made my site, ready for upload, but I don't want that crazy right-click menu-thing to appear. I hate it! So, is there a way to get it to not appear?

Secondly, I've made a dynamic text-field, and a .txt file. The text-field loads the .txt as it should, except for links. How do I get these links to appear?

One more thing! I have this nifty custom-cursor icon. But, when I move it over dynamically-loaded text, I see the I shape thing as well. Can I change the "I" shape-thing?

Thanks!

Input Field Multiline> When Dynamic Multil Field Shows That Data From Mysql But No Wr
Hi,

A form with an input field that is multiline and called "description" send data to a MySql database (PHP).
Another Flash page contains a dynamic field that is also multiline and that displays the content entered in the form.
This dynamic field has a vertical scrollbar.
The problem is that the content displayed in the dynamic field DOESN'T wrap at all (the dynamic field is but on MULTILINE) and so you miss all the text that is larger than the dynamic field.
How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

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?

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

Dynamic Field Vs Input Field
whats the question?

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!

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

Dynamic XML URL Linking
hey all,

h'm having a few problems with getting URLs form an XML file to attach to the images that are fed into flash through XML. one part if the problem is taht i can't seem to convert the images into a button, the next would be linking the URLs that each one has those buttons.
XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<links>
<link image = "3dbuzz.jpg" URL = "www.3dbuzz.com"/>
<link image = "hotlinks.jpg" URL = "www.hotlinks.com"/>

<link image = "cgtalk.jpg" URL = "www.cgtalk.com"/>
<link image = "3dtotal.jpg" URL = "www.3dtotal.com"/>
</links>

A.S. 2.0 code:

xmlLinks = new XML();
xmlLinks.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlLinks.onLoad = function(success) {
link = this.firstChild;
linklength = link.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<linklength; i++) {
linkImage = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.image;
linkURL = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.URL;
newPiece = sliderholder_mc.attachMovie("template", "piece"+i, i);
newPiece._y = i*25;
newPiece.holder_mc.loadMovie("images/links/"+linkImage);
}
};
xmlLinks.load("links.xml");

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

Dynamic Text Box, LINKING
I have a dynamic text box in which text is loaded into it from a txt file. Is it possible to have, say, three separate text boxes, linked together somehow, so that the document(txt) flows through them all?

Linking Dynamic Text
We're working with Flash 5 (yeah, I know MX can do this, but for a variety of reasons, we've chosen to implement using 5) and are seeking to link dynamic text to a mailto: link.

Essentially, someone comes to the site, when they login their email address is passed to the final flash file, fill in some other text to create dynamic text within the flash animation and 'voila' a dynamic flash-based movie is created (similar to Blue Mountain Arts).

What we're trying to do is lik the email address (passed during login) as a mailto: link so that when the receiver 'clicks' on the link, their email program opens and they can send an email.

Thoughts, suggestions, ideas?

Thanks.

Linking Dynamic Buttons
I have buttons that are made dynamically, that is, the number of buttons displayed is decided upon a global variable that is changed when you select a certain button from the main navigation. now my problem is, how do make it so when you click on this sub navigation i made dynamically, have it choose from an array I've made earlier...

for(y = 0; y < yMax; ++y){
for(x = 0; x < xMax; ++x){
clip = attachMovie('boxMC', 'box' + x, x);
clip._y = yCenter;
clip._x = (x -(xMax - 1)/2) * dist + xCenter;
clip._xscale = clip._yscale = 50;
clip._alpha = 0;
clip.onEnterFrame = move;
}

}

that makes my sub nav. eace of the 'boxMC' movie clips have a 'button' button inside them. I though I would just be able to say...

clip.button.onRelease = function(){
trace(partsArray[x];
}

but that only gives me x being the last number (xMax).

does this make any sense?

Okay, I don't think you can do this, but I hope I'm wrong. I have a dynamic html text box that is loading in text from an XML string. I can get a link to a website to work using an <a href=...> tag. However, I also need to be able to link to another location in my site.

Basically, I need a dynamic text link to call some actionscript. Anybody know how to do that or if it is even possible? Thanks!

Linking In Dynamic Text Box
Hi,
I am currently working on a piece which has numerous links inside scrolling dynamic text boxes and need help urgently.

Some of these links are to external webpages, and for those I have rendered the text as html and linked them that way. However, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to link internally to another frame within the flash file in this same manner.

Because they are in a scrolling text box and (please correct if i'm wrong) i cannot group buttons so that they move with the scrolling text, I need away to do this similar to the external links.

If anyone can help....I will be eternally grateful!!!!

how do i make the deployed buttons hold a link...?

Dynamic Linking Between Servers
I've had a search around the forum but I can't find exactly what I'm looking or and am unsure of the terminology to narrow my search.

Basically, my client has a master server with some flash files on it with three access points to that master server:

•The local Intranet for staff ( http://localhost )
•The Internet ( http:// )
•Secure Internet for transactions etc ( https:// )

What I need is some code that will find which access point they are in, get that url and then insert it in front of a loadMovie command on a button or movieclip.

An example of what I mean:
Staff on the Local Intranet click on a button, the code reads they are on the http://localhost access point and then directs them to a file in a folder http://localhost/content/images/ .

I only have a basic understanding of actionscripting so any help/ information would be greatly appreciated as this is quite an urgent project.
