Flash :: Import Dynamic Text With Email Link

Dynamic Text Email Link
hi everyone,

I have a dynamic text box on my stage in _level1, named "textcontent" that scrolls.

I have this code for its content:

_level1.textcontent = "blablalbablalabalbaablablablab

balbalbablablablablablablaaalablabl
AUBREY@AOL.COM ";

on _level3.

I don't know how to make the part of the code that says, "Aubrey@aol.com" actually mailto:Aubrey@aol.com.

Also I would like to make all the text white except "Aubrey@aol.com" which I would like to be blue.

How is this possible? thanks

Email/mailto Link Within Dynamic Text
I have a dynamic text box that populates upon clicking a button. I want to include an e-mail link on a portion of my dynamic text. I’ve found post on using getURL , and that works, only not as a link from my text. Instead it populates the text field with my text and launches the e-mail client from the button. By the way, my textbox is set up to allow HTML and I’ve tried adding a mailto link to no avail. Any pointers?

Email Link In Dynamic Text Or Button Problem
I want to make some text an email link.

I've done this plenty of times in MX and am now using MX 2004 pro. The problem is when you click the link it doesn't work, won't even open the outlook express window!

I've tried making the text box html enabled, selecting the text and then add mailto:blahblah@blahblah - If I put "" around the email address like I've done before it makes the text disappear!

I've tried using a button as well with AS using onrelease getURL etc. Still won't do anything!

Am I just being thick or is it done differently in 2004 pro?!! Really bugging me now so any help appriciated. I've done a search but can't find anything neither.

Thanks in advance...

Can Dynamic Text Have An Embedded Link? Or HTTP Link?
I'm using the Flash scroll bar componet, which uses dynamic text, and I want to link part of my dynamic text to a specific frame in my moive. - Is it possible?
- I've tried and it doesn't allow the 'Go TO' funcion.

so,

I created another HTML page and SWF to display the specific SWF screen that I want to show up - now I'm trying to link my dynamic text to '_self' so that when the link is clicked it will look like it is in the same site.

When I use the dynamic text and create the link, it appears to be ok/workable in the Properites panel, but when published, it doesn't work.

Open Email Client Through Link In Text-file Loaded In Flash?
Hi,

My flash document contain a few buttons which open some movieclips and also a txt-file with an an address and an emailaddress.
The code that triggers the movieclips and the variables looks like this:

Code:

menu.btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.container.unloadMovie();
loadMovie("textField.swf", _root.container);
loadVariables("geschiedenis.txt", "_root.container");
loadMovie("scrollerWat.swf", _root.lijn1.scroll_mc);
this._parent.activateItem (this);
};

Everything works like a charm but the thing is I want users to be able to click on the email address so they can sent me a mail.
Normally this isn't a problem in flash typing in the URL "mailto:" option but since I dynamicaly load a text into flash I don't know how to add this "mailto" function.

My text-file contains the following:

Code:
&content=

A de Busstop
P.O.box 3385
Westvilles

E info@westvilles.com
Does anyone know is this possible how to do this?
thank you for helping me out

Äüö & <-- Can't Import Them In My Dynamic Text Field
hi

so, i'm still trying to get my page "dynamic". I made some .txt documents, loading them into my dynamic textfields with

loadVariablesNum("main.txt", 0);

now since i have a german version, letters like ä ö ü and also & signs get lost and are not displayed.

how can i fix that? maybe your solution goes hand in hand with the following issue, too.

also generally i'm not really convinced of those txt files. one example is my navigation:

i have to make the txt file like this:
home about me contact

meaning, with the spaces in between.. very strange i think. well it works, but i'm sure there's a nicer way to do this. any ideas?

Import File To Dynamic Text AS3
Objective: Import xml/html & css into scrollable dynamic text.
Purpose: To be able to update text through an external file using AS3 and scrollable through coded movie clips.
Problem: I'm absolutely lost. I've found working code, but not for AS3, also the working code is not for dynamic text, as well as the purpose of dynamic text instead of a text area box is the background transparency. I do not want the file to have a typical scroll bar, but instead just arrows, no scroll bar, but scroll arrows, so I could not place them physically to the side of the text area or dynamic text, but above and below it.

Any ideas at all? I want to use this not only in my final project in Flash, which will not add any points because I've covered everything which basically ends at navigation code (simple), but just to have the knowledge as a web designer.

This information would help many people. An updateable external source for clients, etc.

Can Not Get A Dynamic Text Field To Import At Runtime
OK, guys...here are some total assinine questions I am sure, but this is the first site I am trying to develop totally in flash.

I am trying to get it to pull news onto the news page from a txt file, but can not get it to work. I have tried to emulate the way I did it in the tutorial (which worked fine when I did it, of course...story of life), but every time I go to test the file for the news page the text field will not load. I have worked on this for a week to no avail...I really hope someone can help me.

Now, onto another note: I would REALLY like to find a way to import html tables/etc into some of my pages, but can not figure out how. Any suggestions? Please?

Here is the site URL so far:

HTML Formatted Email W/ Flash: Email Link Help
is there a way to put a mailto into a Flash that's embedded in an email without a browser window popping up when the user clicks on it.

The reply email works fine, but a browser window will open with the mailto in the URL and "Action Canceled" in the window. Not too pro looking.

Also, I found the Flash only plays in some email clients, when user views the email. I had to put a 'play' button on the first frame before the loader in case it doesn't play. I tried putting a "gotoAndPlay" but that didn't work either, took the loader out, even put the animation on the main timeline. Funky.

Told the client it's a bad idea, unpredictable, but they never listen to people that know what's up...

Email Link On Swf Doesn't Work In Embeded Email, Why?
I am working on a swf file (sort of an ad) for email distribution purpose, the swf has an email link on it for potential clients to reply to us.

I upload the swf on our server, embed the swf into an email, and send the email off to do a test, the animation is playing fine, but there is a problem, when i click on the email link, I receive the following error message:

"Microsoft Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

And then the Outlook is closed down.

But this problem only happens on NT system, as while i click the same link from my XP, it instantly open up a new reply message fine, anyone has come across this problem and knows how to get around with it, could you help?

Many many thanks

Dynamic Text And ActionScript PHP Email
FlashMX | ActionScript 2.0

I am using Kirupa_flash_php_email.fla as a model.

Is there any way to perform this function:
form.loadVariables("emaill.php", "POST");
using dynamic text vs. input text?

-----

I am preparing a tutorial/test in which the students enter all ID on the first frame.

The vID is stored until the end of the test, where they will then submit their record of completion to an email PHP.

I have not been able to transmit the variables from dynamic text fields. Kirupa_flash_php uses input files. If I use the form.loadVariables("emaill.php", "POST"); on the front-end entry, I will be able to transmit to the ID's, but without any test results.

Resolutions or Work-Arounds are appreciated.

But i want to do it with my email adress
how can i do this...

Thanks in advance....

Loading External Text File Into Flash Using Links From Dynamic Text Field Link?
I am using a dynamic text field to load in .txt files with html tags. I have a couple "click here" type links that I would like to use to load a different .txt document into the same dynamic text field instead of a url link like it does default. Is this possible? I'm sure I could put a button over the text since its not long enough to need a scrollbar but I would like a more dynamic and flexible way to do this if its possible.

Thanks

Dynamic Text Link Problems (text Shifting)
Hello Forum

I'm struggeling with dynamic text fields containing html text from XML data. The data contains <a href="..."> tags that display not correctly. When the user rolls over the link the spaces left and right of the link shift to the left or the right. This appears to be the problem only when I set the antiAliasType property to "advanced". The problem doesn't happen with "normal."

Anyone else experienced this problem? Any workarounds? Am I missing something else when setting all the properties? Perhaps the order of setting the properties?

Any leads or thought much appreciated.

thank you

Stephank

How To Link Dynamic Text
Hi. Very new to Flash - using Flash 8 Pro. I have a meeting this afternoon to throw around some ideas for using Flash on a website, and I'm in a crunch to figure out something that's probably pretty basic.

If you take a look at the .swf, my country map currently serves two functions:
1. rollover button displays some text information in a dynamic text box, when you mouseout it disappears.
2. clicking on the button takes you to the corresponding website.

My idea is to keep the mouseover/out as it is, but when you click on the button, it will keep the text visible in the dynamic text box, and the name of the school (text) will be the link instead. So once you click on the button, you can mouse over the text link and go to the website. (the button will also stay in it's green clicked state until you click on another button.)

My main question is how to make the text I'm sending to the text box in action script a link. I'll keep searching on here (just found out why my HTML pages don't load locally with Player 8), but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
