Dynamic Text Inside Nested Movie Clip
hi everyone.please help me!!

basically i am trying to load text from a .txt file into a dynamic text box that is placed in a movie clip that is nested on the main root timeline. I have been trying to adapt this original code but without any luck:

stop();

loadVariables("mytext.txt", this);

i changed this to this:

stop();

loadVariables("mytext.txt","_root.note3_mc");

where mytext.txt is the name of the text file and note3_mc is the name of the movie clip.
the variable is called textField and my txt file reads as:

textField= testing!testing! lawrence your text goes here!!

when i test the movie i just get a blank text box.

any ideas people. thanks in advance.

Nested Movie Clip-dynamic Text Problem. Flash MX
Hi all,

Flash MX - problem with dynamic text fields/nested _MC's

Essentially, I have created a text scroller movie clip which is embedded into a 'master movie'. The clip contains two dynamic text fields (variables text1 and text2) that scroll & loop. At runtime the master movie calls a .txt file that loads a bunch of variables and sends them to the text scroller movie clip. I've done this to make the scroller easily updateable- just by changing the .txt file. Simple stuff.

Using the debug facility I can see the the variables loaded into the movie clip instance. The scroller works outside the main movie (if I call the variables from within it).

It seems as if by importing the movie clip into another movie, that all dynamic text fields are somehow hidden/deleted or otherwise.

I've tried to place a static dynamic field with a border in the document to see if the border is displayed - to no avail. No dynamic fields are displayed.

Any ideas??

Sorry to burden yourselves with what will probably be, trivia.

Faithfully (& rather frustrated)

Dynamic Text Doesn't Show Up In Movie Clip?
I have a site going and the dynamic text thats right on the main scene works..
but I have parts that move so like.. I had an image as a BG for this one part and its a movie clip..

And I double clicked it to get into it, and then put stuff in that.

So its like

Scene 1 -> Dynamic Text

works fine

Scene 1 -> midGfx_mc -> Dynamic Text

does not work..

The field is there because i can double click and copy and get the value out of it. Its visible and its alpha is 100.. but you can't see the text.. its there.. the cursor changes over it and you can copy whats in it.. You just cant see it!

Why?

-Thank you

Text Field Nested In Movie Clip
in this code here, i create a movie clip, which will be used as a button, and then a text field inside of it. everything works when i don't specify width and height properties to menu.home. but when i do put width and height, as is shown in the code below, the text doesnt show up.

i need to have a button, and then be able to move the text inside the button wherever i want without actually moving the position of the button.

Code:

menu_buttons();
function menu_buttons() {
var textformat1=new TextFormat();
textformat1.font="arial";
textformat1.size=16;
textformat1.color=0x000000;
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("home",201);
menu.home._height=50;
menu.home._width=150;
menu.home.createTextField("menuText",202,20,60,100,40);
menu.home.menuText.setNewTextFormat(textformat1);
menu.home.menuText.text="Home";
var inX=menu.home.menuText._x;
var outX=inX+50;
menu.home.onRollOver=function() {
menu.home.onEnterFrame=function() {
this.menuText._x+=(outX-this.menuText._x)*.15;
}
position*=-1;
}
menu.home.onRollOut=function() {
menu.home.onEnterFrame=function() {
this.menuText._x+=(inX-this.menuText._x)*.15;
}
}
}

Nested Movie Clips, Dynamic Text, Help
I am developing a little site, and I have a menu on the root level of the movie, when you roll over a button, there is an action script to start up a movie clip called "menu_clips" , menu clips has a text box that tweens into place and a dynamic text box that changes for each menu item. the root level is all in frame 1 and I have menu_clips in its own layer with instance name "menu_clips" , it works fine with a dynamic text box in the clip "menu_clips" however I want to place the dynamic text box into a container movie clip called "text_box" or something like that, so I can move it around within "menu_clips" more easily. I am having some trouble getting this to work. With "menu clips" I placed an intance of "text_box" (which contains my dynamic text box, variable "menuTextBox") and named the instance "text_box", on the root level, I originally had an actionscript like this:

on (rollOver) {
if (menu_clips.menuTextBox==_root.about) {
stop ();
}else {
setProperty ("menu_clips", _visible, 1);
setProperty ("about_matt", _visible, 1);
about_matt.gotoAndPlay(1);
menu_clips.gotoAndPlay(12);
menu_clips.menuTextBox = _root.about;
}
}
this worked fine, however I can't really do much with a dynamic text box on its own, the new script which does not work looks like this:

on (rollOver) {
if (menu_clips.text_box.menuTextBox==_root.about) {
stop ();
}else {

setProperty ("menu_clips", _visible, 1);
setProperty ("about_matt", _visible, 1);
about_matt.gotoAndPlay(1);
menu_clips.text_box.menuTextBox = _root.about;
menu_clips.gotoAndPlay(12);
}
}

I have also tried just
"text_box.menuTextBox = _root.about;"

but I am having no luck with this one

Please help if you can, any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

If you'd like to see the movie, you can check it out here
http://www.roznet.com/ and click on the new roznet preview link, keep in mind it's just a preview and will eventually be full of nice effects and content, but for now it's very basic

Dynamic Text Not Working In Nested Movie Clips
Hello,

I am trying to load text dynamically in a movie clip and I'm stumped as to why it won't work. I can get it to work just fine on the root level but not in my movie clip, where I need it to be. I've creatd a video player and I have a movie clip that holds a scrollable row of thumbnails, so I need the text fields in this movie clip so they'll scroll with the thumbnails. I've tried every tutorial, every example of code online. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

How To Add Text To A Dynamic Text Feidl In A Movie Clip Added Through Actionscript?
ok I've never been able to get this to work so I've always just found a way around it. But I really need to get this to work in this project.

I need to get dynamic text to change in a movie clip Where you are adding the movie clip through actionscript (its not on the stage, you are adding to trhough createEmptyMovieClip). I can change dnamic text in a movieclip that is already onthe stage and thats usually how I get around this, but I really need to add it through createEmptyMovieClip this time.

The follow doesn't seem to work and I've searched everywhere all they all say this is how you do it but I can't get it to work...

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//create an Empty movie clip
var CountLayer:MovieClip = home.createEmptyMovieClip('CountLayer', 5);

//add the movie clip to the empty movie clip just created
CountLayer.attachMovie('ScoreCount_mc', 'ScoreCount_mc', 0, {_x:400, _y:400});

//test variable
var test:Number;
test = 0;

//Add text to the dynamic text in the movie clip
ScoreCount_mc.Score_txt.text = test.toString();

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The above never seems to add anything to the dynamic text feild. So if anyone know whats going on here or the right way to do it please help.

Thanks.

Problem Distorting Dynamic Text In Movie... Animation Doesn't Show
Hi,

I have a problem trying to make an animation with a dynamic text input. This is what i want to do...

Sort one of several (text) entries in an Array (randomly) and display each of it's letters with an animation.
I have created a movie object in which there's a dynamic text input that will hold the letter (This is done). Then i created a second movie object in which i take the first object and gave it several animations (Done).

In the end, i duplicate the second object for each letter of the frase, insert the letter in it a tell it to go to a specific effect (Done).

I found one problem with this. If i don't distort (size, rotation, screw, etc) the letter in the animation it will work like it should. If i distort the letter, the animation won't show.

Here is an example of something similiar i found in which the letters appear to be deformed in the animation (the ones that fly away).

http://www.anim-fx.com/samples/bang.htm

Is there any way to fix this?????

Thankz...

Dynamic Text In A Movie Clip
I can successfully pull in an external text file's contents as long as the dynamic text field and the loadVariablesNum action are in the root timeline. How can I get it to work within a movie clip within the main timeline? The scenario is - a text bubble appears with dynamic text in it.

Dynamic Text Within Movie Clip
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to reference a text variable that's within a movieclip (I want to reuse the movie clip numerous times, while changing some of the text within it).

I can't seem to address text variables inside movie clips (I've tried _root _parent _global, most everything I can think of). Seems like it should be straightforward but once I try to reference it in a movie clip, no go.

I've seen other people with the same problem, but haven't found a thread with an answer yet.

Thanks,

Dynamic Text In Movie Clip
Hello:
I have playing with flash mx for some time now and have created a somewhat amateur site with it. My ? is, can I put an external a dynamic text field using the scrollbar feature in a movie clip? I did the tutorials that came with flash and took a beginners course in flash in a local college, but didn't cover this.
One of my pages has too much text to fit in one of the pages, so the scroll feature would be great, if I could only figure it out.
Thanks

Dynamic Text Box In Movie Clip
Hello,

I have this movie in flash that graphs tide data. At every point, I attach a copy of a dot-button movie clip. When the user mouses over the dot, it should show the time and height of the tide in a tooltip-like window. This tooltip is just a box in the over state of the button with two dynamic text boxes in it - using variables timeTxt and heightTxt. When I run the script, it does everything right, except that there is no text in the tooltips. I've verified that the variable is there using the debugger, but its not on the text.

[code]for(var j = 0;j < points.length;j++){
this.attachMovie("point_dot","point"+j,1000+j);
this["point" + j].timeTxt = times[j];
this["point" + j].heightTxt = heights[j];
this["point" + j]._x = points[j][0];
this["point" + j]._y = points[j][1];
}CODE]

Also, its online here: http://my.boatus.com/tides/tideChart.html

Dynamic Text In A Movie Clip? Help
I'm trying to put a site together in which the owners can update their text. I've done this before on other sites without any problems but I cant get it to work this time. I'm assuming this is because this time the text field is within a movie clip rather than in the _root directly (i'm also having problems with input text. presumably for the same reason). This is the code I'm using to call up the .txt file:

loadVariables("beginners.txt","_root");

I've tried putting the name of the movie clip and instance name of the movie clip in which the text field is embedded in there except "_root" but I'm still having no joy.

Dynamic Text In A Movie Clip
I'm using Flash MX 2004 Professional, and I was making a heading for an online journal. On the heading, I have a dynamic text box which changes (to be redundant) dynamically onmousover on various buttons. This all worked fine.

Then I decided I wanted to be able to move the entire flash document (i.e., on the click of a button, the whole thing would scroll up). So I converted it all to a movie clip. When you are viewing the movie clip symbol and do Test Scene, it still works perfectly. But when you view the entire movie, none of the dynamic text boxes work. Even if I do something as simple as "textbox1.text = 'HELLO WORLD' " it works in the scene, but not in the overall movie.

Why is this?

Dynamic Text Within Dynamic Movie Clip Loops
Ok my predicament. I am trying to create thumbnails, but instead of using pictures as the thumbnails I would like to have text, formatted blah blah for people to select. Now the code I am trying to adapt is fine and dandy to get working with pictures, so I know the part of this code that creates the movie clip is fine. However I cannot seem to dynamically create the text boxes within the movie clips. I need to have them within the movie clips so the opacity will change when they are hovered over.

Code:

currentName = "t"+k
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(currentName, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
thumbnail_mc.currentName.createTextField("text"+cu rrentName, thumbnail_mc.currentName.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 244, 28)
thumbnail_mc.currentName.text="test"

k will be changing anyway for each time through taht a movie clip is made hence why they will need different names.

Any help...hope this can be understood.

Dynamic Text Field In Movie Clip
Hey, I searched all across the forums for something like this... I found a few things similar, but nothing ended up working. I have a Dynamic Text box named "About" inside of a movie clip (not in the main scene). Most will probably say something about "_root.whatever.About" but I'm not entirely sure that I understand that whole concept. Anyway, I have the action of loading the Var inside of this movie clip, in the same clip as the dynamic text. When I test the .swf file, instead of displaying the .txt file I tell it to load, it displays something like "_level0.instance98.instance99.About" and the numbers change every time. If anybody could please help me out, I'd really appreciate it... I've spent hours trying to figure this out already, heheh. Thanks!

Yes ANOTHER Dynamic Text Question, In A Movie Clip?
I have found so many threads and tutorials for scrolling dynamic text boxes. I could not find any that state the slight change in code if you are putting a dynamic text box in a movie clip.

I am gussing that you alter the path to the text.txt document to recive the info (text)...?
Do I need to enter the instance name of the movie clip in here:
loadVarsText.load("test.txt");

Am I on the right path?
Thanks for the input.
