Dynamic Text Box / Xml Content - Text Is Too Close To Border Of Text Box

Select Text File From Dropdown List, Content To Show In Swf Dynamic Text Field
I have a php page where there is a form with a dropdown list of all text files in my site. The name of the dropdown is $filename.

The action script in my swf is this:
loadVariablesNum("<?PHP echo $filename; ?>", 0);

but I get nothing. It displays correctly when I replace
<?PHP echo $filename; ?> with the actual value of $filename, for example:
loadVariablesNum("ui_websites.txt", 0);

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Border Around Dynamic Text Box
Is there a way to change the size of a border around a dynamically created text box, the only actionscript I can find is textbox.border=true or false, which draws a border width 1, as far as I can see. Is there any way of making the border bigger width?
Thanks

Dynamic Text Box Border
I am just starting to learn Flash and found script to add a date to a dynamic text box. This worked fine but there is a black border around the box that I can't remove. I tried removing the Stroke color but that doesn't do anything to the box. I also changed the font to be Arial, bold, italic and it's just Arial. It didn't make any of my changes. How do I remove the border and get the dynamic text box properties to work correctly?

Thanks for the help.

Dynamic Text In TextField, Extending Beyond Border?
Code:
createTextField("CaseBody", 101, 365, 80, 394, 394);
//
CaseBody.html = true;
CaseBody.multiline = true;
CaseBody.wordWrap = true;
CaseBody.autoSize = true;
CaseBody.border = false;
CaseBody.selectable = false;
//
CaseBody.embedFonts = true;
//
//
headFormat = new TextFormat();
headFormat.font = "DIN";
headFormat.color = 0x000000;
headFormat.bullet = false;
headFormat.underline = false;
headFormat.size = 21;
headFormat.leading = 1;
//
contentFormat = new TextFormat();
contentFormat.font = "FUT";
contentFormat.color = 0x000000;
contentFormat.bullet = false;
contentFormat.underline = false;
contentFormat.size = 16;
contentFormat.leading = 2;
//
introCopy = new LoadVars();introCopy.load("THFC.txt");
//
introCopy.onLoad = function(ok) {
if (ok) {
CaseBody.htmlText =introCopy.heading+newline+newline+introCopy.contents;
CaseBody.setTextFormat(contentFormat);
CaseBody.setTextFormat(0, introCopy.heading.length, headFormat);
} else {
trace("Problem loading the text file...");
}
//
Now what's happening is that it seems to be okay, except the end of the text (it is a long string) does some very weird things, it either doesn't completely load, or it just puts the final bit out as one long line that extends outside the border of the box and just goes on?

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be, is it not completely loading or something :-(

Dynamic Text Border / Printing Problem
When I create a dynamic text field and toggle on the 'Show border around text' option. The text field looks and prints correctly.

If I embed the font in the text field, the border still shows up when the SWF is viewed, but if I print the SWF, the border does not print.

I've even tried setting the border to true in actionscript with no success when printing. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Showing Border Around Text Field Is Bigger Than The Text Itself
How can I justify the border around a text field such that it exactly overlap the text - not 'super' overlaping the field itself.

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.

The text that is in the text file is as follows, and as far as I can see there is no reason why all this text shouldnt show in the dynamic text field; by the way all my targets are correct, I know that for fact.

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?

Trasfering Text From One Dynamic Text Box To A Input Text Box On A Differnt Page?
Ok so I have a text box set up which receives the date on a callendar which you click on. On another page (a seperate html file) I have an input text box for receiveing this text.

I've been trying to do this using various methods using getURL, but, I can't get it to work. This is becoming tedious especially as I'm not able to test it without having to reupload the files.

If someone could please inform me on how I should do this I'd be vary greatful.

If you need any further information I'll reply as soon as possible.

Load Text From A Text File Into A Dynamic Text Field
I'm trying to load text from a text file into a dynamic text field. The text field is on the "blog" page of the website. 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!

Reloading Dynamic Text Content
I've got 2 dynamic text boxes in my swf on _level7. Everything loads in fine the first go, however when a new section is clicked, one of the button actions is unloadMovie in _level7, resets the variable for the text file to be loaded, and then does loadMovie in _level7.

The problem is, when the new content is loaded, the one of the text boxes still shows the top half of the previous text which cuts into the top half of the new text. Only the new text is selectable and I can't figure out why the old text doesn't dissapear when unloadMovie is performed...does it have something to do with the height of my text box?

Dynamic Text Content Does Not Show Up
Hi, I'm attaching several movieclips onto the stage inside a for-loop and populating a dynamic textfield within the moviclip inside the same loop.

Tracing the texfield.text shows the proper value in the Output console. However, the text value is not visible on the stage.

I've drew a shape next to the dynamic textfield just to make sure the movieclip is being properly attached. I can see the shape but there is no text next to it.

Anyone got idea why it is so? THanks!


Code:
var xPos=200;
for(var i=0; i<image_list.length; i++){
xPos += 70;
trace(image_list[i].firstChild);
_parent.attachMovie("imagenumber_mc", "imagenumber"+i, i+21, {_x:xPos, _y:420});
_parent["imagenumber"+i].imagenumber_txt.text = i;
trace(_parent["imagenumber"+i].imagenumber_txt.text);

Setting A Dynamic Text Fields Content
I have am creating text fields dynamically using:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("shape", 2);
shape.createTextField("textField", 1, 0, 0, 100, 200);
with (shape.textField) {
selectable = true;
type = "input";
html = true;
border = true;
background = false;
multiline = true;
text = "enter lable here";
autoSize = true;
}

path to each of these is on a count as follows

_root.MC1.shape.textField.text
_root.MC2.shape.textField.text

What I want to do is have a path like:

"_root."+target+".shape.textField.text" = TextVar;

But for some reason it will not work - guess it is something to to with the path to text being text not a var called text?!?

Can anyone help?

Cheers in advance

Dynamic Text Boxes With Linked Content - HELP
Hi there,

I am trying to find out how to do the following:

I have 2 text boxes "A" and "B" laid out on the stage. The content for them is pulled in from a text file... however the content needs to fill the first text box ("A") and then the overflow text needs to fill the second text box ("B".

The reason the textboxes are split is because there is an image (which will change) between them.

Please please HELP!!!

Dynamic Content: Use A Text File Or MySQL?
I am planning out a site that will have dynamic content inside Flash. One of these dynamic elements is going to be a list of high scores from a flash game. The other dynamic element is going to be a news headline and link that can be updated from an admin.

So, knowing that the high score display will need to be MySQL, how should the headline/link and admin be handled? Should the admin PHP simply write to a text file, or should it write to a MySQL database?

Also, is there a rule for when to use a DB and when to use a text file? What variables need to be considered in making this decision?

Duplicate Content In Dynamic Text Boxes?
what's the best way to get one dynamic text box to load the same text from another dynamic text box, so the content is duplicated?

i have two variables txt_msg and txt_msg2, each in a movie clip with a different instance name.

also, the text is loaded from an XML file, so i don't want to load it in twice, just copy the contents already loaded.

Adjust Dynamic Text Width To Its Content
Hi,

in my multi language flash animation, i allow users to select the interface language.
in order to remind them what language they chose, i display it into a dynamic text field.

However, as this text field is overlapped with a buttonclip, i would like to auto adjust the dynamic text field with its content.... and on the same time to do it also for the overlapping button. (this button allow end user to display the dialog box to choose another language)

to understand it, let's take an example. Application has the following languages : English, French, Spanish and Slovak.

each time that user select a language, the dynamic text field should display : the word "language" in the selected language + " : " + "language" word in the selected language.

so something like :

Language : English
Langue : Francais
Idioma : Espanol
Jazyk : Slovak

now, you can easily understand that the auto adjustment is a good choice to avoid a too large or too smal button and also text field (to display the whole words)

How can i do that ?
is there something under AS3, which count pixels or width of a sentence ?

thanks a lot,

A.

Display Content Of TextInput In Dynamic Text Box?
I got the script below from the forum here and it works great, but I need to display the numbers typed into the TextInput boxes in a dynamic text box and I can't seem to get that part to work. Here's what I've got.
On frame 1 are the TextInput boxes and the ActionScript below. On frame 2 are 3 dynamic text boxes that are supposed to display the content of the TextInput boxes from frame 1. I used the instance names "one", "two" and "three" for the TextInput boxes. I used resultBox1, 2 and 3 as instance names for the dynamic text boxes in frame 2. I set up 3 variables called "areaCode", "prefix" and "phone" and put the following code at the bottom of the code you see below:
var areaCode = one.text;
var prefix = two.text;
var phone = three.text;

I then set up ActionScript in frame 2 that reads:
resultBox1.text = areaCode;
resultBox2.text = prefix;
resultBox3.text = phone;
to display the content of the TextInput boxes. I get nothin'.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it? I guess I should mention that I'm using Flash MX 2004.
Thanks

Here's the code I got from the forum:
put three text inputs (components) on your stage, call them "one" "two" and "three". Then put this code on the first frame (the frame they are on


import mx.controls.TextInput;
var one:TextInput;
var two:TextInput;
var three:TextInput;
var oneMaxLength = 3;
var twoMaxLength = 3;
var threeMaxLength = 4;

var oneListener = new Object();
oneListener.change = function(event) {
if (one.text.length > oneMaxLength) {
one.text = one.text.substr(0,oneMaxLength);
}
else if (one.text.length >= oneMaxLength) {
two.setFocus();
}
}
one.addEventListener("change",oneListener);

var twoListener = new Object();
twoListener.change = function(event) {
if (two.text.length > twoMaxLength) {
two.text = two.text.substr(0,twoMaxLength);

Dynamic Text Field: Can I Preload Content?
So, I thought it would be a great idea to use a dynamic text box to load html formatted text and images. The box works, but the response time is really slow. I'm having multiple text fields load over each other and images take for ever to load ( a 14kb PNG takes upwards of 5 seconds).


Is there a way to preload the .txt files and images that are not embedded in the SWF?

Dynamic Text Field Content Does Not Display In .swf
I am very new to Flash. I'm trying to update a dynamic text content in a .fla that someone else created. It seemed a pretty trivial task but I can't figure out why I do not see the current text displayed (before I made any changes) when I preview or build the .swf?
I've debugged the actionScript code and I see the dynamic text variable being set but like I said, it's as if this code is not executed when the movie plays.

Dynamic Text Field, Content And Alpha
Hi.

I have a MovieClip (mcContainer) that contains a dynamic text field (txt1), that was created directly on the Stage. Then I added text to the text field with:

this.mcContainer.txt1.text = "my wonderful text";

When I change the mcContainer's alpha, the text's alpha doesn't change. So, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Dynamic Content Imgs/Text Followup
In an earlier discussion I asked about how I could get my external imgs and text to load in an HTML that did not reside with the SWF file.

The link below is an example of how the imgs can get loaded:

http://imagehost.vendio.com/my/zoom/...img2=20577.jpg

I do understand how the ?svr section is calling the data. Is ther a script in the SWF that refers to these same URLs or does this allow you to put the code in on the HTML page that does not reside with the SWF?

[Help] Resize Dynamic Text Field To Fit The Content.
Dear all,

I'm now trying to add a dynamic text field in FLASH.
And, the question is:

Can the TEXTFIELD resize to fit the content using ActionScript?

I mean, if the content only contain 2 words, then the textfield resize and fit only 2 words.
(assume 10px for a word, then the text field will be 20px)

Dynamic Text : Dynamic Height (depending On Content)
Hi people.

Im working on a website, and in some part there is a dynamic text space that sets its width depending on the resolution.

But well, I want the text to be sitting downside of my webpage. For this (I guess) I need to set the height of the space to its contents, so that I can use the textspace height as a unit, for putting it to the ground
(myTextSpace.y=stage.StageHeight - myTestSpace.height)

But well, I do not know, if there is any way to set the textspace height to its contents.

I hope I'm clear, thank you.

How To Load Content In Text File Into Dynamic Textfield?
I try to use the loadVariable() method to know the data into the dynamic textfield, but I fail. I put the text file in the same directory as the movie. In fact I am not quite sure what the exact format of the data in the text file should be. In my text file I write:

myText.htmlText = "hello <b>world</b>!"

And my code is:

loadVariables("text.txt", "myText.htmlText");

Can anyone tell me what is the correct method of using the loadVariables() method?

Thanks a lot.

Force Dynamic Textbox To Display New Text Content
Hey y'all

I have a menu, which is dynamic text using the asfunction.

The buttons in the text simply change a variable, and an onClipEvent is supposed to load and overwrite the text in the same textbox (which originally had the menu text).

Problem is, the new text is not replacing the old text automatically, but it is possible to see the new text if you move the scroll bar or you can see it for a short moment when you reset (reload) the menu text.

So the text is there, it's just not replacing the old text.

Any ideas how I can force it to show the new text?

Dynamic Text Field Content Stops Half Way
I've created a flash file which reads an external text file. The text file is constantly updated as its a log of visitors to my website. The dynamic box reads it so far till it meets an '&.' It then stops. Is there a way with actionscript or php to cut out all these &'s?
