Loading An Image Into A Dynamic Text Field Via .txt File
I am attempting to load an image into a dynamic text box that scrolls. I have the textbox set to render as html and in the .txt file I have the following code:

[html]
scrolltext=<img src='images/bioPhoto.jpg' align='left'/> Rob began playing guitar in t......
[/html]

The above works but only when I view it flash and doesn't work when viewing over the web. I have even put in the absolute path to the image to load so I know it isn't a path issue.

Does anyone know a way to get this to work or a better way around it?

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

Button Function - Load Text File To Dynamic Text Field
Hey again,

okay straight into it. I have a few button named b1 b2 b3 and so on. Now these buttons i want to load a text file into a dynamic text field called myText. Now the text files which will be loaded contain html tags, so i want to have that property set.

Now current I have home.text loading into myText automically on swf loading. But when I click any of the buttons the text file won't change over.

Now my menu is seperate to the body. I have 3 swf files, one called base.swf, nav.swf and body.swf. Base.swf loads nav and body onto it.

here is what i have as the script.

Frame1 - body.swf

_root.onData = function(){
myText.html = true;
myText.htmltext = _root.myInfo;
}

loadVariables("home.txt", _root);
loadMovie("scratchy.swf", logo);

Frame1 - nav.swf - gigsbut (button)
on (release) {
loadVariables("gigs.txt", _root.body);
}

can anyone help point out where I am going wrong. I have a feeling I am not targeting the text field right from the button. If you could help point me in the right direction rather then give me the answer that would be good as I would learn better from that. Thanks

Wolfie

PS - Let me know if you want or need more info. Am happy to post it up.

Multiple Dynamic Text Variables In A Single .txt File?
Hello... I was wondering if it was possible to store multiple variables in a single .txt file?...

e.g. lets say i have a dynamic text field (main_txt) and I want the text to change with the press of either button (A_btn) or (B_btn)... my code on buttons is:
for a:
on(release){
main_txt.variable = "somevariableA"
}
for b:
same with change being "somevariableB"

ok...so on my main frame I want to have just a
loadVariablesNum("somefile.txt", 0);
where somefile.txt looks something like this:
somevariableA=blah blah blah
somevariableB=halb hlab halb

... when I try to do it like this, the whole of somefile.txt loads in my field when I click on A_btn and nothing happens when I click on B_btn... to solve the problem I have been loading two seperate .txt files, each containing a single variable... I can do what I want to do, I just want to know if you can store multiple variables in one .txt file?...thanks.

Loading Info From INI File Into Dynamic Field...
Folks,

I have a Flash Projector application that is a frontend for an electronic Catalog (PDF'S). I have incorporated an install and web updater feature on the CD so the user can install on their system. After installing, I have a web updater feature that goes out and checks for newer versions. This version information is contained in version.ini on the users system and is updated as they update the latest version. IN the ini file their is only one line of text...i.e. 4.1.0 I am wonder if it is possible to create a dynamic text field on my splash page (Flash portion) that would go out and read the INI file and place the version number in teh text field. I have been researching and no luck so far.

Thanks for the help

Using Buttons To Change The Text File A Dynamic Text Field Loads?
I have a text field that loads text from a text document which works great for the news section of my site. However, is there a way I can keep that same text field and change it's content based on what button is pressed? For instance, if someone is viewing the "news" section of my site, and then they click on the "links" button, can I unload news.txt and load links.txt into that text field?

Dynamic Text Field: Swap Text With Diff Variable In Same Ext. File
I'm using the recommended

Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(_global.text_url2);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success){}

etc..
which is working well. I just want to attach an action to buttons which will switch the text for different variables in the same text file, in a single text box named archivetitle.

ie.

Code:
archivetitle.text = this.title1;
when button one is pressed

Code:
archivetitle.text = this.title2;
when button two is pressed.

Basically, how do i access an already loaded text object to refresh to a new variable? Thanks!

Loading A Html-tagged Text File Into A Text Field...it's Just Not Working For Me...
hi,

i'm trying to load news.txt into a textfield using loadvars.

news.txt:

loadnews = new LoadVars();
loadnews.load("flash/news.txt");
loadnews.onLoad = function(success) {
newstext = loadnews.news;
trace(newstext);
gotoAndStop(2);
}

the trace is showing that newstext is the text out of news.txt ... in the frame 2 that the onLoad function refers to is a textfield (multiline, with the html as true) which is supposed to display the newstext variable.

If i set newstext to something else ... eg: newstext = "some text" then it works fine ...

what's going on???

Using Text File For Dynamic Text Field From External Domain
I have a .SWF file on a (we'll say original.com, for reference purposes)... I have a dynamic text file in that .SWF file, which is currently loading a text file using the loadVariables function. I would like the movie to start loading the text file from another server, which we'll call new.com, for reference purposes.

I'm told that Flash will not load files from external domains, but is that it - end of story? Is there any way I can somehow get this to work?

I know some stuff about PHP, so maybe that'll help?

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks.

Long Text Doesn't Fit Inside Single-line Input Text Field
Hi, I've been browsing these forums for a long time but this is my first post.

I'm creating an interface by which a user can design and order their own customized decal. Please see my example (I've added my script at the bottom of this post):
http://www3.sympatico.ca/sin.young/decaldesigner.html

My issues are:

1. I've set the character limit to 21, but if you were to type in 21 "W"s into the input field for whatever reason, or choose a wider font, the text shifts to the left and some of the characters become hidden as they don't all fit. I'd like to make the width of the text to always fit inside of the width of the white area. I can't figure out how to make this work.

Here's an example that does pretty much what I'm trying to describe: www.stickerjunkie.com.

2. I have the Standard Colors combo box working perfectly but can't seem to get the Fonts combo box working.

Any hints or links to actionscript tutorials/help that might be useful to my predicament is extremely appreciated.

// display colors and formatting
decalColor = new Color(decal);
color1 = new Color(decalColor);
//
function changeColor(comp) {
decalColor.setRGB(comp.getSelectedItem().data);
}
//Standard Colors array
standardcolors = [{label:'STANDARD COLORS'},
{label:'White', data:0xffffff},
{label:'Black', data:0x000000},
{label:'Silver', data:0x9c9c9c},
{label:'Gray', data:0x636b73}];

collistStandard.setDataProvider(standardcolors);
collistStandard.setSelectedIndex(0);
collistStandard.setChangeHandler('changeColor');
//
//Fonts array
myfonts = [{label:'FONTS'},
{label:'Arial', data:'Arial'},
{label:'Serpentine', data:'Serpentine'},
{label:'Enviro', data:'Enviro'},
{label:'Forte', data:'Forte'}];

fontlist.setDataProvider(myfonts);
fontlist.setSelectedIndex(0);
fontlist.setChangeHandler('');

Tutorial Fo' Y'all: .txt File Into Dynamic Text Field
Tutorial: .txt/ HTML file into dynamic text field:

My HTML file is working, because the .txt file is loading into my dynamic text field called: content_txt, with in the var field set (of the property inspector): content_var. The .HTML file begins with: &content_var=
After the equal sign, you might use html tags such as:
Welcome
// Welcome appears in bold text
// only some HTML tags work, eg tags that don't work:
// <html><head><title><body>
// also Text doesn't work when i tested just now.

Put in the first frame of your .fla file:
// create a file called: home.txt/ home.html, then target it like so:
loadVariablesNum("home.html", 0);

Test movie, it would seem the text loads into the dynamic text field.

External File Into Dynamic Text Field?
I've got to be short several thousand brain cells. I've been trying for an hour to get an external text file to load into a dynamic text field without any luck at all. I've Googled all over the place and tried several examples, but none of them seem to work.

Here's what I'm working with:

Flash MX 2004
external file = "/aboutus.txt"
stylesheet = "/includes/style.css"

I've tried loading the external file directly into the text field.
I've tried creating a movie clip and loading it into that.

I just can't get the hang of this. I don't know what I'm screwing up. I'd post my AS code, but I've changed it so many times now there's nothing really coherent there.

If someone could give me some help, I'd appreciate it.

Loading Text Into Dynamic Text Field With Full Justify - Can It Be Done
Hi!

Trying to load in text into a dynamic text field that is html formatted and "full" justify the text.

Cant seem to full justfiy the text.
"full justify": spreads text out to fill up a whole line by automatically setting the spacing between words.

1)
I have tried using html formatting to align the text: 
justify isnt accepted by flash

2)
set the text field in flash to full justify
works fine if text inputted into the dynamic text field before compiling
But if text is loaded in, then the formatting is lost.

Anyone got any ideas how to do this?

I'm thinking of using php's GD lib to create a jpg using text retrieved from a database with the text fully formatted in the jpg image and loading in the jpg image, but then I lose my html formatting.

any other solutions? or have I overlooked something here?

cheers

Loading Text Files With Hyperlinks Into Dynamic Text Field

These texts contain html links (<a href="page.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a> and I have "render as HTML" on and "selectable" off in my dynamic text field. Also, I am loading a CSS file.

Problem Loading Text Into Rotated Dynamic Text Field
Hi there

With help from Stratification, I've sorted out my previous problem, but alas it grew into a more insidious and tedious mire. Especially, I am sure, for people who know what theyre doing: I'm still rather daunted by Actionscript.

SO, I'm trying to load a text file, one.txt, into a dynamic text field. Simple enough, but this time I wanted to have the field rotated to a specific angle, and this requirement defeats my meagre knowledge. I've got a rotated dynamic text field, but I can only fill it with text typed into the actionscript (I don't know the term for this) as opposed to loaded from an external text file.

Strat kindly gave me the following code:

stop();
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onData = function(src:String) {
if(src != undefined){
my_txt.text = src;
}
else{
trace("Woops, didn't load");
}
}
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "verd";
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 120);
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
//If this text is what we see then something didn't happen correctly.
my_txt.text = "Not Loaded";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
my_txt._rotation = 45;
//Now that everything is set up, load our text
loadText.load("one.txt");

But when I try it, the "Not Loaded" text appears, so something went wrong, and it's beyond me to see what.

If anybody can offer any help I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers!

Exporting Text From A Dynamic Text Field To A .txt File
Hi

I posted a plea for help about a month ago on how I should go about searching text in another swf file. I solved that, with a little help from the forums, but I still need to do one more thing. Only 1 swf file (or page, since this is a website) is loaded at a time so I cannot search every page for a word or phrase. So what I want to do is somehow export the text in all my dynamic text fields when I export the swf file (only when I export it) which my main frame for the website can read. But I don't have a clue how to do this. I have written some code to read a .txt file so all I need is to somehow put the text from my pages into a .txt file on export. Alternatively I could copy and paste the text from each page into a readme file, but I don't want to have to update 2 sources for my website at once!

Thanks for your help; I wouldn't be able to survive without these forums

I'm creating a site where each page is pretty much text. I want to achieve this by loading text files into dynamic text fields, since it's easier for me to maintain text files that regenerate movie clips etc.

I have figured out how to load a text file into a dynamic text field and how to use the 'read as HTML' option to invoke HTML formatting - but I've hit the (apparently common, judging from Google) problem about whitespace. As soon as I have a carriage return in the text file, all subsequent text is ignored.

I'm detailing what I've done below and would really appreciate any help

1. Create flash document
2. Add a dynamic text field
3. Set the instance name of this text field to be 'Text1'
4. Set the 'var' for this text field to be 'Text1'
5. Created a text file in Notepad named 1.txt and saved in same location as the .fla
5. In frame 1 (which also happens to be where the text field is placed) I have the following code:

Code:
loadVariables("1.txt", this);
I THINK I need to add some code somewhere about whitespace but I'm not sure what it is or where it should go...

Most of the above has been achieved through trial and error, copying things I've found online - not through any detailed understanding of what I'm doing so it is quite likely I've been stupid somewhere along the line!

Many thanks

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!

Single Line Text Field Scrolling Bug...
Whatever I do... It seems like this problem just won't go away. A few of my single line text fields scroll downward when there is text in them, and you click and pull the mouse downward.

It's causing problems for my users.

And, it's only random text fields that do it...

Type in some text, and then pull downward, some of the fields scroll down, some don't. I just re-created every single one... Didn't help!

Content Of A Single Line In A Text Field
I am loading a hundred string values from a text field (each with a after them) into a multiple line Dynamic text field set to display html. When a user clicks on any one of the lines, I want the content of that line only to be set into a variable for further processing.
any ideas on how to do this simply assuming that the loaded in data will be changing quite often?
thanks

Single Line Text Field Scrolling
I've got some single line text fields that are limited in size. When the cursor reaches the limit of the text field the cusor continues and the text scrolls off the left side and dissappears.

How can I stop this happening? I've thought about limiting the number of characters but these text fields sizes change dynamically according to how much space they need to fill. Is there a simple way around this problem?

Thanks

Dynamic Text Field Variable Loading
Okay, so this is driving me up the wall.

I have dynamically-generated instance names and variables, and I need to be able to fill dynamic text files with the content of those variables.

So, what I have right now is very simple:
_root["variable" + _name]

This traces fine, it parses the variable (variable4, for instance) and returns what I want it to return. But THE TEXT FIELD WILL NOT READ IT. Every variation I've tried on it, the text field still returns blank. The text field is running on the same level as the trace I did, not that this should matter anyway.

Oh please help me...

Loading A .swf With A Dynamic Scrolling Text Field
I have been fighting with this thing for the last two weeks, and I am getting no where. I really want to get my site finished before I leave for Japan next Wednesday, so I am in a bit of a hurry, and would appreciate any help you guys could give.

I have a movie that loads a .swf that loads a .txt document. The problem is, no matter what I do, I cannot get the bloody thing to scroll....
