Using dynamic text in Flash Builder

Hi,
I'm trying to get some dynamic text to my web page. The text is readed from .txt file
I use AS script which i was using in a project I made with Flash Pro and now i try to implement it in Flash Builder project
The script look like this:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("design_1.txt");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function textLoaded(event:Event):void
design.text = loader.data;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded);
loader.load(req);
So first I made a project with Flash Catalyst and in there I created an area text element. Then I imported the project to Flash Builder and put the AS script in the <Script> section and gave the <RichText> an id="design".  The text is just simple text and formatting happens in richtext element.
So, when i try to compile the FB project it give me and parse error "undefined property error req", "undefined property error loader" etc.
So should i alter the AS script for FB or is there something else wrong? I tried to google how to use dynamic text in FB but couldn't find any easytyutorials. I'm mostly a desginer so coding isn't my speciality. But thanks for help!

Hi Amy,
You can customize 'New class' generation under Preferences->Editors->Flash
Builder->FileTemplates->Action Script->New ActionScript class.
Currently there are no template variables available constructors. But you
can customize it as following,
$
${import_declaration}
$ {
  public function ${class_name}() {

  • How to use an dynamic text from Flash in FlashBuilder with swf ?

    Hello,
    i'm trying to develop a game in flex builder and i got a problem with the dymanic text i've imported from flash. I want to insert a scoreboard in my application and for doing that i should use dynamic text in flash. I create a dynamic text in flash and then a import it to Flash Builder in a movie clip, and i called the dynamic text "Score". Now i've tried to use the "Score" variable to change the value of the dynamic text box un my flash builder application, but it doesn't change anything.
    I read somewhere that i've got to use the score.text value to change the number of my score but that doesn't works because Flash Builder tells me that this sort of variable don't contain the .text value.
    Thank you for trying to help me.
    bye.

    Thanks Ned,
    I always welcome learning something new.
    I did not know creating a new keyframe,
    creates a new instance.
    Yes, I had used the same dynamic text field instance name in
    numerous, new layers (great observation).
    With the objective to display the User's name throughout
    the timeline (on and off)...
    I'll attempt to paraphrase your solution;
    Use a single layer to display the dynamic text field.
    Extend this layer's timeline throughout the movie, or end use of the dynamic text field.
    Help with this one ??
    Set the visible properties to true or false as need through out the timeline.
    ( Does require an AS3 ? )
    I'll give that a try.....
    ~~
    Side of effect of using the above solution;
    The SWF in it's attempted state, uses the dynamic text field instance, in
    different places, different text sizes, on the stage, throughout the Movie.
    (i.e. the User's first name appears in different sentences...)
    Per the solution above,
    I believe I will be limited to One location, one format setting.
    Is this assumption correct?
    I can make this work from a display / Movie point of view.
    However, your first VAR concept, noted above, might be
    worth exploring should more flexibility be required.
    Thanks for making the time to coach...

  • Can't get dynamic text in Flash 8 pro to work

    Hi,
    This is driving me nuts. I am using SWObject to send a
    variable to my Flash 8 swf. The swf is basically a header that
    plays a video and I want to put the name of the web page
    dynamically on top of it. Sounds simple right. Well I can not get
    it to work. In the past I have done dynamic text boxes without any
    problem.
    I have uploaded all the files to my clients server (
    including the fla and the HTML page that accesses the swobject code
    I have also tried other more conventional means to load the
    Variables ( in the URL address and using Flashvars with a normal
    object and embed tag ) Nothing seems to work.
    Is there a problem with dynamic text and Flash 8?
    I'm pulling my hair out any help would greatly be
    appreciated, Thanks in advance.
    Zip file on the
    server with all the files

    Hi jimWPX, I have no problems with dynamic text in Flash 8,
    and I see no problems in your file.
    Could it be that the js doesn't parse for Flash 8 correctly?
    A quick check for version seems to suggest that it's embedding with
    tags for v 6 Flash. Might be problematic.
    An alternative is FlashTag.js,
    http://www.macromedia.com/go/flashjavascript/
    which works fine for me also. Hope it helps

  • Alert using Dynamic text in BPM.

    Hi,
    I am using dynamic text function in alrtcatdef transaction for raising an alert using BPM.
    But in the alert inbox I am not getting the an alert error message which is passed to alert catagory in control step of BPM. Can anyone please let me know what may be the possible solution of it.
    I have done the below configuration:

    Please let me know the solution soon.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sandeep.

    HI Bhavesh,
    I have referred the michal weblog and I have done the same step except the container operation step.
    My requirement was to send the hard coded error message to the alert catagory so I didnt used the container operation step.
    In the Control step I have hard coded my error message.
    But still it is not showing in my alert inbox.
    Can you please let me know is there any other settings needs to be done.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Using Dynamic Text In iOS Applications

    Hey everyone,
    I'm trying to create a simple iOS app.  I want to add a Dynamic Text box into the stage that will show the score, but every time I do so, the application encounters serious lag trouble.  I'm using _sans font.
    Does anyone have a method for using Dynamic Text that works well in iOS?

    I had lots of lag when I used a TLF textfield... but decent performance when I used a "classic" TextField.

  • Using Dynamic Text to tell a Hyperlink where to go.

    So I am having a little trouble on my site, and this community seems like a good place to go for help, and I am sure someone out here can help me.
    I have a webpage that uses dynamic text and images, and it serves as my user profile page. I know the database and all of that stuff is set up correctly because all of the dynamic text shows up as it should.
    Here is the problem I am having. I have an area where a user will be able to view files he has uploaded, and click on the name of a file to view it.
    The way I have it set up, is the clickable text is dynamic text from the server, called uploadname1. I want to make this text into a link, that sends them to the file stored as fileupload1.
    Here is my code that I thought should do it.
    "<a href="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['fileupload1']; ?>"/><?php echo $row_Recordset1['uploadname1']; ?></a>" (minus the quotes of course)
    The text underlines and changes the color as it should, but it is not clickable. Can someone out there help me?

  • How to display dynamic text in flash CS5....

    i am using flash cs5...i created a game but when i m running it...it is  showing a message saying "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts""
    and i am not getting my dynamic text output.......please hwlp me out!!!!!!

    As the error message says, you need to embed the font(s) that you use in any input or dynamic text object so that Flash will have that font to use when displaying the dynamic text. There are several different ways to accomplish this. Are you using textField objects on the stage, or are you creating instances of textFields using Actionscript?

  • Dynamic Text in Flash/Image

    Hi All,
    I cant find any simple tutorials, can anyone help me and
    explain how to very simply, display one variable of text from a
    database as flash format (or a type of dynamic image)?
    Using CS3, and ColdFusion. I'm playing games with it and
    think i'm just name the variable wrong either in a flash file or cf
    page. But anyway, any simple method to dynamically display text as
    an image will work.... please help.
    Thx,
    Mike

    probably the simplest way will be passing your text to your
    flash movie
    as the movie url's query string variable (in the
    [object]/[embed] html
    tags). inside the flash movie set a dynamic text box to
    display the
    passed variable:
    if you google "pass variable to flash" you will see a lot of
    examples of
    code involved. just make sure your flash movie is large
    enough to
    display all passed text, and the passed text is url-encoded.

  • Dynamic text in Flash: a href="mailto:... tag?

    I am using an Access DB to feed text dynamically to Flash.
    Although some simple html tags work in the text, I tried putting in
    <a href="mailto:[email protected]"> link tag in and it
    didn't work. Does flash not support mailto links in dynamic text?
    Is there a workaround to get a link into the dynamic text that will
    open an email?

    Nevermind! It works - the link didn't change color so I
    hadn't realized the link actually worked... I'm a dummy. Flash is
    smart.

  • Create a Link using Dynamic Text and Capture Variable

    I am building a dynamic website using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion 9
    Currently I have created a dynamic text table. The table is created by querying the Invoice table and displays the all the customers Invoices. The columns Include Invoice #, Date, Amount Paid, BalanceRemaining, Due Date. So basically lists all the invoices I have applied to the unique customer. It is pulled up using a session variable I created from the login page.
    My question is this I want to make the "Invoice #" linked so when you click on it it goes to a new page and performs a new query which retrieves infro related to that specific invoice such as Services Rendered, Service Description, Date, Price, Total. I was able to create a link to the Invoice # but I am stuck trying to figure out how to capture the Unique Invoice # and apply it to the new query. Is this possible if so how?
    Thanks for your help!

    Now keep in mind I am speaking strictly from a web and SQL standpoint as I have no experience with coldfusion.
    If you are able to create the link to the Invoice, I am perceiving this as the following:
    Invoice
    Links to
    #123
    page.php?invoice=123
    #345
    page.php?invoice=345
    If your page is setup like that then you already have the data stored in the browser request with the GET method.  In PHP the equivalent is the $_GET array.  I am assuming ColdFusion has a similar array to work with forms.  Then on your following page you obviously need to check that the visitor came from the prior page with the proper permissions to ensure that someone doesn't get the address page.php?invoice=### and just guesses through and views all invoices if they are not supposed to.  Then your query would look something like the following:
    SELECT * FROM invoice_table WHERE invoice_number = $_GET['invoice']
    Remember this in written in PHP so yours should be a similar equivalent.
    Hopefully this helps a little to get you going in the right direction.

  • Increasing/decreasing a var using dynamic text

    Hello and thanks for clicking
    Now while I am not a complete newbie I am far from an expert in this, so instead of using terms I hardly understand myself I'll just give a rough outline of what I need for this project to work
    I am currently working on a turn-based point-and-click strategy game in flash. Now like most strategy games gathering resources is important, and in this game there are currently four resource bases, a forest, a gold mine, a lake and a stone mine.
    What I need is for the player to be able to click on, for example, the forest, in which case a dynamic text will become visible. Now I need the player to be able to insert an ammount of soldiers. That ammount will be sent to claim the resources of the base. So basically I need the ammount that is typed in the dynamic text to be retracted from the "soldiers" var and added to the var representing the soldiers in the forest.
    Any help on how to achieve this would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    A textfield has a "text" property.  So if you have a variable that you want to assign the textfield's entry to, then you assign it using...
        yourVariable = textfieldName.text;
    If you want that variable to be a Number, then you cast the textfield text as a Number when you assign it to the variable...
        yourVariable = Number(textfieldName.text);

  • Can you use html text in flash cc html5 project type?

    I'm attempting to dynamically change font color of various words inside a dynamic text field.
    I have tried both these lines of code below. have you dont this can you correct my code please?
    I'm using flash cc and html5 project type. This was possible in previous versions of flash.
    this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText = "<font color='#000000' size='-1'>"+MyGreatNumber+" "+"</font><BR>"+this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText;
    this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText = "<p style="color:#ff0000">"+MyGreatNumber+"</p><br>"+this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText;

    from the easeljs docs: Please note that Text does not support HTML text, and can only display one font style at a time. To use multiple font styles, you will need to create multiple text instances, and position them manually.
    to resolve, edit text in the js file where it's relatively easy to even use rtl text.

  • Compiler errors when using dynamic text in a class

    I have created a MovieClip with a custom class that has a dynamic text field (called "textArea"), which I want to modify by the Component Inspector, as well as via a custom method using:
    textArea.text = newText;
    It works fine in all cases and there are no problems, but the compiler still wants to give me the error:
    1120: Access of undefined property textArea.
    The error doesn't appear when I remove the component parameters (so that it's just a normal MovieClip). It still works, even with the error, so I'm not sure why it wants to complain. Am I doing something wrong or is it just being bitchy?

    By defining them in the class and using the class name under component definition:
    [Inspectable(name="Text", type=String, defaultValue="")]
    public function set text(setText:String)
         textArea.text = setText;
    public function get text():String
         return textArea.text;
    A problem I run into is that the compiler errors prevent the parameters from being defined so I comment out every line that has to do with textArea, define the component, then uncomment them so that it'll work when it runs.
