Flash :: Loading Dynamic Text Breaks Formmail Forms [renamed]

Loading Dynamic Text Breaks Formmail Forms [renamed]
This matter is something I haven't been able to solve for long and now I'm really desperate to find out an answer.
Here's a link to a very simple zip file (as example) containing the conflictive fla and other files, for those of you who may want to have a look at it.

TO SIMPLIFY THINGS:
It seems that whenever I use a couple of AS instructions to load some Dynamic text from a text file, Forms which are based in formmail, stop working (no matter if these forms are made of dynamic or static text). Why??

INTO MORE DETAILS:
In the attached fla example file here, I've simplified things very much by just leaving 2 Forms (one made with Dynamic text and another one without any dynamic text on it).
Very peculiar, if in frame 1 I call the variables from the text file:

ActionScript Code:
webcontent= "File.txt"loadVariablesNum (webcontent, 0);

the 2 Forms stop working properly: The static one doesn't even seem to submit data and the dynamic one, it seems data has been sent but data is never received.
As soon as I delete these 2 lines of AS, they work properly again (although of course, no words can be seen in the Form made with dynamic text).

Both submit buttons contain the following AS:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) { subject = "Customer Form from your Web"; recipient = "info@mydomain.com"; loadVariables ("http://www.mydomain/cgi-bin/formmail.pl", "", "POST"); _root.Form.gotoAndStop ("Thanks");}

So...I don't have the least idea of what's going on with this all.
Perhaps any of you could explain what's wrong with such a simple thing like this and how to avoid this strange behaviour.

Thank you very much!

Formmail Forms & Dynamic Text (I'm Puzzled?)
Hi experienced users!
Well, I'm creating a website for a friend which it's being made using Dynamic Texts (he wants different switchable languages).
Problems come when submitting the Form... I've used the same Form model (formmail) for other websites which did not use any Dynamic Text and they worked without problems.
The exact problem is that the submitted Form is not received (don't think it's even sent) to the specified email address. However, if the same website does not contain any dynamic text, then the form works properly and the query is received at my mailbox.
Has anybody experienced a similar situation?? I'm completely lost because I can't understand the reason for this behaviour, the only thing I know for sure is that the problem is variable related.
Any idea will be welcome and highly appreciated.
Cheers!
Manare

Adding Line Breaks And Paragraph Breaks In Dynamic Text - Best Method
I'm using dynamic text and wondering what is the best way (heck, any way) to mark line breaks or paragraph breaks. I'm curious about what Flash MX AS 1.0 is capable of/ supports. I have read a little about HTML enabbling and then using HTML tags, which is probably a good solution. Just wondering if there is something else, or if that is supported by AS 1.0 at all.

I have read a few threads on special characters (SC), including Moock's site, but line breaking doesn't seem to be part of SC.

And, I've read this, but it looks like it is for Action Script 2.0:
http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...ght=line+break

Does anyone know off hand if AS1 supports CSS, or was that new in AS2.

-Thanks,
AB.

I hope everyone is not on holiday.

Sending Forms In Flash With FormMail
Hey guys, i have a question. i'm trying to make a feature for my website where a visitor can sign up for a mailing list. i have a form on my site else where (done in HTML) and it uses the server-side script FormMail to process and deliver the form. I was wondering if there was any 'easy' way for me to use this same script from flash for this feature.

if you'd like to take a look at the feature itsself, the URL is www.thegreenlightgroup.com/mailinglist.swf (if it comes up the size of the screen, just know it's not actually that large on the page).

thanks for the help.

Flash Formmail Forms Work Remotely...but Not On The Server?
Hey guys...

Have a very odd problem.
I have flash forms that call a formmail script that work fine while testing my movie and just opening the .swf off my hard drive...it accesses the script and sends me the email.

But when I upload the .swf to the server and view them live, they do not send me the email. The files are identical, same path and recipient, so I have no idea why they work remotely but not on the server.

My hosting service has not idea?
Anyone have a suggestion...any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

Line Breaks In Dynamic Text
I'm using a dynamic text box to give information about items that the user selects. Is there a way to insert a line break (carriage return) in Actionscript.

Example:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.imgText1.text="This is where I put the descriptive text for image 1. Some desciptions are rather lengthy and maybe I would like to insert a line break in this area of code... like maybe right here. The only problem is I don't know if such a thing can be done, or if it can, how to do it."

Strange Breaks In Dynamic Text
I've loaded my external text into my mC, and can access it with no problem. However, I'm getting very strange line breaks that aren't indicated anywhere in my original text file. It's a single and continuous sentence all on one line. Sometimes the break is at the end of the dynamic text field, like it's supposed to be, but other times it breaks in the middle of a line without any sort of apparent regard for punctuation or anything, so I don't THINK that's it (though it could be, I suppose).

I thought that my Word Wrap option in Notepad might POSSIBLY be messing it up, so I turned that off, but it didn't change anything.

Any ideas?

Line Breaks / Carriage Returns In Forms
I am using a php based mail form script and I am having a problem:
Everything works great, accept that when you hit the enter key to move to a new line, the output that is sent is only the first line of text and nothing after.
If I let my typing run to the end of the box and let it move down to the next line on its own it works fine..
Im a little new at forms in flash, but isnt there a way to get this to work?

Thanks in advance for any help with my lil problem.

[CS3] Prevent Word Breaks In Dynamic Text Box
I am working with arabic text that is being pulled in from xml into dynamically created text boxes, the only issue is:

when the text is wrapped to the next line, words are being "split" or "broken" in two, making no sense to the reader. is there a way to test if a word is being broken and then force the whole word to the next line?

I have messed with searching for spaces and amount of characters on a line, but the results have been multiple breaks happening : ie text looking like this:

hello how are
you
doing?

any thoughts on this?

AS2 .. Adding Line Breaks In Dynamic Text
Hey there.

I've been poking around for an answer and I found some help here and on other forums, but the answers I found are not helping.

I have an app that loads random quotes from an external text file. The file liiks like this:

quote1=blah blah blah
&quote2= blah blah blah
&quote3= blah blah blah

All the way to 25 quotes total. I want to add line breaks in the text. Some answeres said insert
or
in the text like so:

&quote4=This is a quote
from some dude (or
)

Also, I read that if you turn "render text as HTML" on, you could use for line breaks.

I have tried all three options and all just display the extrea characters in my dynamic text when it pulls a quote.

Is there something I am missing? Is there an easier way to go about this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Line Breaks In Dynamic Text Objects
All,

Forgive me this trivial question, but is there an easy way to insert a line break in a dynamic text field without using the HTML property?

I know you can set the text field's HTML property to true, which would allow you to use tags, but that requires that you use a device font, and I would rather use an embedded, anti-aliased font.

In vb, you can put a "vbcrlf" in the middle of a text string to create the effect I'm looking for. Is there a similar trick in Actionscript?

Of course, you could also use two text fields, but my problem is that sometimes the field should include a line break or two, and sometimes it should not.

Many, many thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Cheers

Dynamic Text Not Showing Up [renamed]
I have a deadline and am relatively new to flash - I've used a tutorial to load dynamic text into a text field using buttons. The code on each button is

on (release) {
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
newsBox.html = true;
newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
};
}

Obviously button 2 loads "TEXT2.txt" and so on

But I need to scroll it using a dragger rather than up and down buttons provided in the components (whch don't look great). Can anyone help!!!!!

Creating Line Breaks With Dynamic Text Boxes Using HTML?
I have an array with a series of informational text lines. I would like to place them in a status dynamic text box listing which ones have been processed. To do this I need to make a dynamic text box with line breaks after each item in an array. Here is my script so far:

imageClips = new Array();
imageClips = ["WindowsInit.jpg","CTRLA.jpg"];

I then have a dynamic text box with html enabled called:
Status

In my action script I have entered the following code:

Status.text = " " + 1imageClips[0] + "" + " " + imageClips[1] + "";

I want the first line to read "WindowsInit.jpg" in the list, and then break to the next line reading "CTRLA.jpg"

Whenever I run the script it does not work. Can someone tell me how to properly insert line breaks into dynamic text boxes using arrays of text with a line break?

Thanks,
Sam

Dynamic Text In Flash Forms (within Coldfusion)
I'm using Flash forms within Coldfusion. Is it possible to have text within a form dynamically change based on a radio button selection after the Flash form has already compiled? Specifically, in the code below where the label is "How strongly do you feel that abortion #VA_S1_Q1# be an option available to Vanessa?" I want #VA_S1_Q1# to automatically display the label value of the selected radio button in the VA_S1_Q1 group (i.e., "should" or "should not").

Thanks,
Jason

Code:

<CFFORMGROUP TYPE="page" LABEL="Should" HEIGHT="225">
<CFFORMGROUP TYPE="PANEL" LABEL="Do you think that abortion should or should not be an option available to Vanessa?">
<CFINPUT type="radio" name="VA_S1_Q1" label="Should" value="1" onCLick="V#VignetteNumber#_S1_Nav.selectedIndex=V#VignetteNumber#_S1_Nav.selectedIndex+1">

Dynamic Textbox _y Per Dynamic Line Breaks
I would like to feed variable character lengthed text data to text boxes in my dynamically placed buttons (touch screen kiosk). In my movies i am reading from either xml or db via FSP. I want the text in the text boxes (which label the buttons) to aways be centered in the button graphic, no matter how many lines. I imagine i would set up a conditional and set the _y of the text field per the amount of new line breaks that were dymically created by means of which are still a mystery to me..

Is there a way to achive this without manually adding "
" or whatever your prefered linebreaker is? I've done very similar things, but i've aways had to manually build and associate an array in flash to assure appropriate line breaking. Now i'm dealing with many hundreds of buttons and existing data (such as the strings i would like to label the buttons with)

this is one of, if not the last hurtle for me as far as how dynamic i want my projects to be...! please help!

btw, im using FlashMX

The css formating is still there but when you click on them it freakishly selects all the text on that line to the left of where you click.

Has anyone else had this problem or have an idea what might be causing it?

Loading External Swf Breaks CSS?
Ok I've gone through the tutorials on "Using CSS Styles" and "Applying CSS to Externally Loaded Text"

I've gotten everything working fine as far as that goes the fla's work perfectly until I load the swf's into my main movie? I get the "Error...." and the variable "format" stays undefined.

When I test the sfw's by themselves they work but trying the main swf it just displays the error???

Basically if I have confused anyone its like this... I'm trying to use Externally loaded text with CSS then load that swf into another swf, that being my main website and the first being various contents for different sections.

Thanks in advance... also if anyone wants to see my fla's email me @ nagmier _.@._ followthebeat.com and I'll zip up a stripped down version without all the graphics etc
Any help would be greatly apppreciated as I'm desperate I spent about 5 hours trying to figure this out yesterday and it drove me nuts I'm sure its something simple but I'm a flash noob and I've been outta the coding game for a while now

Text Loaded From Text File Doesn't Have Breaks
I am loading text into a dynamic textbox from an extrenal plain-text file. I was wondering how I would go about putting breaks into my text. HTML is enabled in this dynamic textbox, and I've tried using the tag for breaks, but to no avail. Before hand I could just press enter twice at the end of a line to get a line break, but somehow this doesn't seem to work anymore.

Does anybody have any suggestions? If you aren't quite sure what I am trying to say, please look at the links section on this website ( http://www.alienmelon.com ). There you will see that there are no line breaks inbetween lines of text (no whitespace between lines).

Thanks,

Loading An Image Into A MovieClip, Then Into BitmapData [renamed]
Hello,

I am trying to load an image into a movieclip and then draw the contents of the movieclip to a bitmapData object. Below is some sample code.

Code:
target.jpg_mc.loadMovie(url);
target.createEmptyMovieClip("loader_mc", 100);
target.loader_mc.bmc = target.jpg_mc; // movieclip where to load original image
target.loader_mc.tmc = target.bmp_mc; // movieclip with smoothed image
target.loader_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){

bl = this.bmc.getBytesLoaded();
bt = this.bmc.getBytesTotal();
if (bl >= bt && bt > 4 && this.bmc._width > 0 && this.bmc._height > 0){
//target._parent._visible = true;

this.bmc._visible = false;

var bitmap = new BitmapData(this.bmc._width, this.bmc._height, true);
this.tmc.attachBitmap(bitmap, 100,"auto", true);
bitmap.draw(this.bmc);

Stage.addListener(target);

target.gotoAndPlay("in");
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
For some reason it always draws a white box rather than the image. Has anyone ever seen this happen with the bitmapData class?

Thanks for any help!
