Flash :: Dynamic Text Disappears When Using LoadMovie

Dynamic Text Disappears
hi everyone,

i'm using a scrollbar component and have been having quite a bit of trouble.

my file consists of a dynamic text box (that is connected to the scrollbar component) that is linked to an external .txt document. everything works fine when i test it on my computer, but when i upload it to the web, the text disappears.

you can see what is happening at the URL below. the area under the white rectangle on the right is supposed to contain text.

i think it has something to do with the paths, but i've tried everything i know (including changing all the _root.'s to this.'s) and i'm in desperate need of some help.

thanks in advance!

Dynamic Text Disappears
Here's my scenario. I have an .swf that has dynamic text within it. The text shows fine on preview. The problem arises when I load that .swf into a base movie. The text disappears. I have scoured through my code and checked the location of external files and can't understand why this is happening. Can someone help me?

Dynamic Text Disappears
Using this technique:
var textVar:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
textVar.load("about.txt");
textVar.onLoad = function() {
_global.dyn1 = (textVar.headline);
_global.dyn2 = (textVar.details);
my_mc.dyntxt.html = false;
my_mc.dyntxt.htmlText = dyn1+" "+dyn2;

};

The dynamic text populates just fine. But when I click on the text field an embed the fonts, this stops working???
Anyone know why embedding fonts makes dynamic text disappear? Any way to avoid this...
I want to skew dynamic text, which is why it needs to be embedded.

When I Rotate A Dynamic Text Object, The Text Disappears At Runtime
Can someone explain why the text of a dynamic text object disappears at runtime when rotated?

It happened when I rotated a MovieClip object via actionscript that contained a dynamic text object. So, to test whether this happens all the time, I created a movie clip again with a dynamic text object in it, populated the dynamic text object with a single letter, and rotated it by hand and ran the movie - the letter disappeared.

LOL in a happy, rare accident, I discovered the answer myself. Page 432 of the Flash 8 Actionscript Bible says, "Aside from just allowing text to look the way you want it to look, embedded fonts actually enable your Textfield objects to do some things they wouldn't otherwise do. For example ... a TextField object that uses device fonts (nonembedded fonts) cannot be rotated nor can you change the alpha. But once you embed the font, you can do both of these things."

Alright - now to embed that sucker...

How: (for dynamic or input text objects) clicking the Embed button in the Property inspector.

Note, this will increase the size of your swf. Just embedding the lowercase and uppercase letters from a-z of one font increased the swf filesize from 3-9KB.

Dynamic Text Field Disappears
i have a button that triggers all the stuff below.

for some reason when i mouse over my dynamically created textField all the text except for the first line disappears.

anyone know why?

on (release) {
if (Math.floor(_root.bgClip._x) == 1604 && _root.bdudeContent._alpha>=100) {
_root.bdudeContent._visible = false;
_root.tinyMC.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.attachMovie("bdudeStage", "bdudeStage1", 1);
_root.bdudestage1._yScale = 1;
_root.bdudeStage1._x = 400;
_root.bdudeStage1._y = 190;
_root.bdudeStage1._alpha = 80;
_root.bdudestage1.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.bdudestage1._yScale<100) {
_root.bdudestage1._yScale += 5;
}
if(_root.bdudeStage1._yScale == 101 && (Math.floor(_root.bgClip._x)==1604)) {
_root.bdudeStage1.createTextField("myText", 1, -40, -140, 350, 400);
_root.bdudeStage1.myText.text = "This is my dynamic text. But, for some reason when i mouseover the text area the all the text except for the first line disappears. WTF is wrong with it?This is my dynamic text. But, for some reason when i mouseover the text area the all the text except for the first line disappears. WTF is wrong with it?";
_root.bdudeStage1.myText.autoSize = "left"
_root.bdudeStage1.myText.textColor = 0xFFFFFF
_root.bdudeStage1.myText.wordWrap = true;
_root.bdudeStage1.myText.selectable = true;
_root.bdudeStage1.myText.swapDepths(1);
}else{
_root.myText.removeTextField();
}
}
}

Embedded Dynamic Text Disappears
I have spent hours searching the forums for a solution, and I haven't found this exact problem.
I have some text in a dynamically loaded movieclip. The text is also dynamic, it has to be because I make changes to it as the program runs. If I try to embed the font no text shows up when I run the movie. If I choose "None" in the character embedding options the text shows up, but is jagged and ugly. I would really like to be able to embed the font, because I am not sure that everyone has this font and I am using Chinese characters. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I saw an earlier post about this, but no solution was posted.

I am using Flash MX, and the fonts I have tried are MS Song, MS PMincho and various others. Even good old Arial doesn't work when I try to embed it.

Dynamic Text In Movie Disappears
hi everyone,

i'm using dynamic text in a site i'm working on. it works fine, save when i try to nest it in a movie, and the text disappears. it's happening in a couple of places, but a good example is when you try and nest the text box in the scrolling area of the scrollpane component.

any thoughts would be much appreciated.

thanks!

[F8] Dynamic Text Disappears On Rollover
I'm attaching a 2 frame MC to my main movie, using basic button code to jump to the states on rollover.

// menu items
this.attachMovie("subMenu", "subMenu1a", 5,{_x:0, _y:100, _alpha:100});

// button code
subMenu1a.onRollOver= function ()
{
this.gotoAndStop(2);
};

subMenu1a.onRollOut = function ()
{
this.gotoAndStop(1);
};

my problem is that the dynamic textfield in the attached MC is fed by XML data, it loads in on the inital load of the page, but if i roll over the button using the above code the text data disappears??

//my XML that loads the menu item text
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

image = [];
description = [];
mainTitle = [];
menuTitle = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;

for (i=0; i<total; i++) {

image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
mainTitle[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
menuTitle[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}

function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {

var imgUrl:String = image[p];
myMCL.loadClip(imgUrl, img_mc);

txtLayer.desc_txt.text = description[0];
txtLayer.title_txt.text = mainTitle[0];
subMenu1a.menu_txt.text = menuTitle[0];
mg_mc_num();
}
}

Dynamic Text Disappears When I Add A Keyframe
I have to assume I am doing something horribly wrong here, but I am new at this and was having problems with dynamic text disappearing so to create a simple example I have two layers (actions, text). In the actions layer I have:

Code:
myText_txt.text = "This is a String";
...and on the text layer I have a dynamic text box with an instance name "myText_txt".

I set the timeline to 40 frames and placed a keyframe at frame 20. How come when the movie hits frame 20 the dynamic text disappears? The text field doesn't change, why does the variable get reset?

Thanks

Dynamic Text Disappears On SetNewTextFormat()
I have a dynamic text box and I need to re-format it. But it just won work. I can do it fine with all the oether text boxes in my movie - just not this particular one. The only difference is that the ones that work are created dynamically at run-time, whereas the one that doesn't work is inside another .SWF that is loaded in. I can sometimes change the colour but that's it.

Anyone know what might cause this?

Here is the code that is NOT working...

actionscript Code:

Original
- actionscript Code

_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.embedFonts = true;

_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.html = false;

_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.border = true;
_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.borderColor = 0xFF0000;

var t_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

t_fmt.bold = true;

t_fmt.color = _root.ConfigObj.configs.pages.page[current_page].title_colour.data;

t_fmt.font = "Arial-20";

t_fmt.size = 20;

_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.setNewTextFormat(t_fmt);

_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.embedFonts = true; _root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.html = false; _root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.border = true;_root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.borderColor = 0xFF0000; var t_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); t_fmt.bold = true; t_fmt.color = _root.ConfigObj.configs.pages.page[current_page].title_colour.data; t_fmt.font = "Arial-20"; t_fmt.size = 20; _root.header_mc.title_anim.titleTextClip.title_text.setNewTextFormat(t_fmt);

... and this code DOES work:

actionscript Code:

Original
- actionscript Code

var pageTextBox:TextField = textClip.createTextField("text"+textNum, textClip.getNextHighestDepth(), xpos, ypos, text_width, 100);

textClip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

When I Rotate My Dynamic Text Field, The Text Disappears Please Help
Hi,

Thanks for reading this.

I have created a dynamic text field with custom scrollbars and it all works but when I rotate the text field to fit into the background I have, the text disappears when I test the movie.

Does anyone know how this can be prevented or know if I'm doing anything wrong?

I've uploaded my .fla here.

Please can someone have a look and tell me where I'm going wrong!?

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Dynamic Textbox Just Disappears When Text Is Changed
I'm having a huge problem, I got the actionscipted dynamic textbox to display the text I want, but you could only see it when using trace();. When the text changes, the box just disappears and the depths don't change. Its very odd how it just disappears. It shouldn't be doing that, it should just display the text.

The mx 2004 and mx versions of the file are attached.

Thanks in advance.

Embedded Dynamic Text Magically Disappears
I'm running into a problem with embedding fonts for dynamic text fields:
Everything is in the same typeface at the same size, but some text fields are bold and others are not.

When I only had the bold fields embedded, they showed up correctly in Flash Player. Now that all fields are embedded, some of the bold fields just don't appear.

I'm baffled. Is it only possible to embed one?

[CS3] Dynamic Text Disappears When Moved With Code
Hi
Got an annoying problem. I'm using dynamic text and I want to keep it centered no matter how much text is there, so want to add some code to move it on the y axis after the text gets changed. everything's working fine except when i change the y value (or the x for that matter), the text vanishes completely. I'm not masking it at all, have embedded my font, it's working fine as long as I don't try and move it with code. Can anyone help as this is not making sense to me! Here's my code:

Code:
toolTip.toolTipText.tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
toolTip.toolTipText.tf.text = toolTipArray[section];
toolTip.toolTipText.y = toolTip.toolTipText.y +1;

Thanks!! Emma.

Dynamic Text Disappears When Changed By Actionscript?
He I have a simply little dynamic text box inside a movie clip. Any when I use actionscript to change the text it disappears, yet when I trace the text it displays the correct text as if it did change.

my movie clip is mainBar with a textbox called titleTxt.

Keep in mind that the trace at the top works correctly when I call the function with different variables (click on about button and it returns the about string. Then click on the services and it returns the services string.

Code:
switch (subsection) {
case "intro" :
_root.mainBar.titleTxt.text = "INTRODUCING US";
_global.curHeader = subsection;
break;
case "about" :
_root.mainBar.titleTxt.text = "ABOUT US";
_global.curHeader = subsection;
break;
case "services" :
mainBar.titleTxt.text = "SERVICES WE OFFER";
_global.curHeader = subsection;
break;
case "clients" :
mainBar.titleTxt.text = "OUR CLIENTELE";
_global.curHeader = subsection;
break;
case "careers" :
mainBar.titleTxt.text = "CAREERS WITH US";
_global.curHeader = subsection;
break;
case "contacts" :
mainBar.titleTxt.text = "CONTACT US";
_global.curHeader = subsection;
break;
default :
trace("**switchHeaderBar can't find: " + subsection);
}
trace(_root.mainBar.titleTxt.text);

The text shows up fine the first time through. Any further passes show the text's original non-dynamic content. ( text I have in it on the stage). It seems to lose the dynamic content when the timeline loops. Anyone able to help me?

Dynamic Text Under Mask Disappears When Tweening
Hi all,

I'm sure this has been asked in some way or another a couple of times before, and usually the first response seems to be..."are your fonts embedded?"
Yes, they are. I am using a couple of different tweening classes (it happens with all of them). Basically what I'm doing is a simple sliding in and sliding out animation via the x and y properties of a movieclip. It only happens to a few movieclips, but some (not all) of my dynamic textfields disappear when doing this. When I click in the area that they are supposed to be, it magically appears. I have even tried creating the masks dynamically to stop the bug with no luck. It is very sporadic, but does anyone know/have experience with how to solve this problem?

Any help would be appreciated...

Dynamic Text Disappears In External Movies

Could anyone explain why this is and how to fix it?

hi there,

To load the B.swf into a position like '2' is useless, because once the A.fla itself is published, it will loaded into another C.fla file (the carrier)

Since I do not want to recreate all the moves in tweens - what shall I do?

Button Sound Disappears With LoadMovie
howdy!

i am not too good at actionscripting, just getting started and i run into this problem.

i have a button that has a rollover effect. it gets larger and smaller with the mouse moving over it. it does not have true button states. i added a real button within this pseudo button to add sound when in the "over" state. and this works fine, until i add actions to the main pseudo button to load a movie.

>>>>here is the rollover effect action script within the pseudo button

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
}

>>>>here is where the problem starts.....

on (release) {
unloadMovie("books.swf");
unloadMovie("comics.swf");
unloadMovie("design.swf");
unloadMovie("web.swf");
unloadMovie("contact.swf");
unloadMovie("home.swf");
loadMovie("home.swf", "_root.boo");
}

with this amount of code added, the button sound disappears.
on the other two buttons, the "books and "comics" the sound works fine, because it doesn't yet have the load or unloadMovie commands, which i guess is the problem since it works fine before thay are added.

here is the address of the problem:

any ideas?

i have a tooltip that pops up in a container (which works fine) but the dynamic text box which displays the "tip" is not showing up even with the fonts embedded and correct variables , etc... it was working fine before but for some reason it has now disappeared... i changed the textbox to static text just to see if i can see it and it works... so other than embedding the font, any ideas for me to try out before posting fla? thanks in advance...

LoadMovie + Dynamic Text
Ok,

This is on Flash MX

I am working on an online TV show that displays my sports simulations. My Main SWF is a TV that has a basic menu. We will call this moviea. When a channel is selected, that channel is loaded as a separate swf file we wil call movieb.

MovieB is loaded into a movieclip with instancename "screen";.

Now in movie b, i start to give the weather forcast and want to display some random variables for temperature, wind etc. So I have dynamic text boxes. Because i want to fade them in and out, that is saved in a local movie clip in Movie B. I have given this movieclip instance name weatheroverlay.

Now i have tried accessing the variable by every name and its mother and i cnat seem to get the blasted text boxes to display. According to the debugger the values have been saved(see below), but they just arent showing up. Among the names ive tried are:

_root.screen.weatheroverlay.temp=
_root.screen.weatheroverlay.temp.text=
_root.screen.weatheroverlay.temp.value=
_level0.screen.weatheroverlay.temp=
_level0.screen.weatheroverlay.temp.text=
_level0.screen.weatheroverlay.temp.value=
_level0.weatheroverlay.temp=
_level0.weatheroverlay.temp.text=
_level0.weatheroverlay.temp.value=
_level1.weatheroverlay.temp=
_level1.weatheroverlay.temp.text=
_level1.weatheroverlay.temp.value=

Ive checked all the obv stuff like my text color being the right color etc... The text box has the variable name temp.

When i set them to the following, the show up in the debugger:

var temp = random(40)+40;
_level0.screen.weatheroverlay.temp=_root.screen.te mp+" F";

This is what the debugger shows:

Variable _level0.screen.weatheroverlay.temp = "70 F"
Variable _level0.screen.weatheroverlay.precip = "60%"
Edit Text: Target="_level0.screen.weatheroverlay.temp"
variable = "temp",
text = "70 F",
htmlText = "70 F",
html = false, textWidth = 93, textHeight = 27, maxChars = null,
borderColor = 0x000000, backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF, textColor = 0xFFFFFF, border = false,
background = false, wordWrap = false, password = false, multiline = false,
selectable = true, scroll = 1, hscroll = 0, maxscroll = 1,
maxhscroll = 0, bottomScroll = 1,
type = "dynamic",
embedFonts = false, restrict = null, length = 4, tabIndex = undefined,
autoSize = "none",
condenseWhite = false

But alas no text, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will note i have the SWFs in different directories, ive heard rumors that could be a no no, but im not going to jarble them all up until i hear otherwise, and everything but the dynamic text works great.

On the Stage of my main movie, I have a button called "News" whose action is to load a movie called "news.swf" to a loadTarget. This part is working fine.

The movie "news.swf" consists of a single frame. On the Stage of this movie is a dynamic text box, which calls a .txt file.

When I test "news.swf" on its own, it works fine. It calls the .txt file, and all the HTML formatting works. But when I test my main movie, and click the news button, it load "news.swf" (I can see the text field appear) but the text itself doesn't appear.

What am I doing wrong?

LoadMovie With Dynamic Text Field
Ok, this may be a little difficult to explain. I have a movie ('main.swf') that when you click a button in there, it calls a loadMovie('secondary.swf'). In secondary.swf, there is a dynamic text field that displays fine on its own, but when I load the secondary.swf into the main.swf, the dynamic text does not load with it! Any thoughts?

Target Dynamic Text Box From LoadMovie SWF?
I have a template that loads SWFs from the main timeline. When you click a nav button or next and back buttons, each loads a SWF into level 2 and automatically updates the dynamic text box assigned var pageNumber.

I need to use a button on a loaded SWF to update the dynamic text box on the main timeline. My code unloads the SWF and loads a new SWF -is working. My pageNumber will not update. I have tried adding _parent to everything. I'm missing something . . . somewhere . . .

Here's what I have on the SWF button.

on (release) {
_parent.unloadMovieNum(2);
if (_parent.obj2strt<>0) {
movieNumber = 2;
loadMovieNum("page_"+movieNumber+".swf", 2);
pageNumber = "";
pageNumber = movieNumber+" of "+pageNumberOf;
trace(pageNumber);
}
}

"obj2strt" is identified as 2 on main timeline, which = 2.
I tried just telling it movieNumber = 2, which works.

If you need my .fla, I will attach.

Much Thanks!

Ed

LoadMovie Swf With Dynamic Text Into MC Not Working
Here's the layout:
The main screen has 2 buttons that are supposed to target a single empty movieclip (instance name "content") and load a specified swf.
actions for the main screen:

PHP Code:

loadMovie("welcome.swf","_root.content");

actions for the Events button:

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    loadMovie("events.swf","_root.content");
}

actions for the Welcome button:

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    loadMovie("welcome.swf","_root.content");
}

both welcome.swf and events.swf are just a dynamic text box w/ scrolling functionality. For some reason, no matter what button you press it keeps the movieclip w/ the same welcome.swf, though it does blink, as though it's loading. When welcome.swf was a static textbox and welcome.swf was a dynamic textbox, the switch worked fine. Now it doesn't want to. I've also tried telling it to unloadMovie("_root.content"); and it clears it. Anyone know WHY it's not loading!?

Loadmovie/dynamic Text Problem
I know there have been several posts about this problem, but I still haven't been able to figure it out. I've spent hours on this, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Basically, I'm working with an active search list that I found in the tutorials on this site, and the dynamic text won't show up when I use the loadmovie command to load it into an empty container clip on the main stage.

Every post I've seen about this mentions embedding the fonts, but for whatever reason that hasn't worked for me (I'm probably not doing it correctly).

I'm attaching a simplified version of what I'm actually working on called "load.fla" and the active search list "search.fla".

I'm so frustrated. Please help me if you can.

Thanks.

LoadMovie & Dynamic Text Problem
I did a search in the forums to find a solution to my problem but didn't have any luck. I found one thread that was kind of related, but not exactly:

http://www.flashkit.com/board/showth... ext+loadmovie

OK, here's the situation...

I have my main flash movie, let's call it "main.swf", and it is broken up into sections. Each section is an individual swf that is loaded into a Movie Clip place holder in main.swf using the loadMovie command.

One of the sections, let's call it "section1.swf", has Dynamic Text boxes with scroll bars into which external text files are loaded.

When I publish section1.swf, the external text appears just fine and it scrolls perfectly. When I publish main.swf, section1.swf loads up but the Dynamic Text is no longer visible. The other static text, the background, and the scroll bars are there but the text is not. The scroll bars even indicate that there is content within the text box (you can scroll up and down) yet nothing is visible or selectable (cannot highlight the invisible text—as if it were a color issue).

Does anyone recognize this or know of problems when loading an external text file into a swf and then loading that swf into another swf? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.

Dynamic Text Does Not Load Using LoadMovie
I am having a very frustrating problem and I am praying someone can help me out...I am using loadMovie() to load a swf file named about.swf that contains some dynamic text that imports text from a file called about.txt. The about.swf file contains the following actionscript to import the text:

loadVariablesNum("about.txt", 0);

By itself about.swf works perfectly, however, when I load it into another file called DADC.swf using the actionscript:

loadMovie("about.swf","clip2");

You can check out the web site to get a better idea of what I'm trying to do:
http://www.dadcstudentcouncil.com and click on Members and About us

These are the individual swf files i am loading into the main:

"Members" http://dadcstudentcouncil.com/about.swf
"About Us" http://dadcstudentcouncil.com/xml_pg_final.swf

Click on the "members" and "about us" both of which have the dynamic text that isnt showing up.

Thank you for your help. I really need it!!

Here is all the relevant actionsript I used:

/* Loading the images in their appropriate Movie Clips */

loadMovie("main.swf","clip1");
loadMovie("about.swf","clip2");
loadMovie("xml_pg_final.swf","clip3");
loadMovie("","clip4");
loadMovie("","clip5");
loadMovie("","clip6");

/* Setting the x and y position of Movie Clips in which images are loaded */

setProperty("clip1",_x,_root.imagewidth*1);
setProperty("clip1",_y,0);

setProperty("clip2",_x,_root.imagewidth*2);
setProperty("clip2",_y,0);

setProperty("clip3",_x,_root.imagewidth*3);
setProperty("clip3",_y,0);

setProperty("clip4",_x,_root.imagewidth*4);
setProperty("clip4",_y,0);

setProperty("clip5",_x,_root.imagewidth*5);
setProperty("clip5",_y,0);

// _root.imagewidth defines the width of the image//
_root.imagewidth = -680;

// _root.speed defines the speed of the sliding images//
_root.speed = 3;

/* _root.trig.xposnew defines the x position of the
sliding images */
_root.trig.xposnew = -(_root.imagewidth);

// About us Button
but1.onPress = function() {
_root.trig.xposnew = -(_root.imagewidth);
};

// Products Button
but2.onPress = function() {
_root.trig.xposnew = -((_root.imagewidth)*2);
};

// Services Button
but3.onPress = function() {
_root.trig.xposnew = -((_root.imagewidth)*3);
};

// Clients Button
but4.onPress = function() {
_root.trig.xposnew = -((_root.imagewidth)*4);
};

// Contact Us Button
but5.onPress = function() {
_root.trig.xposnew = -((_root.imagewidth)*5);
};

but6.onPress = function() {
_root.trig.xposnew = -((_root.imagewidth)*6);
};
stop();
