Aligning dynamic text

Hi,
I've got a dynamic text box that retrieves text using Action
script from an external PHP file. It works well except when I set
the dynamic text in Flash to be centrally aligned it still aligns
the text to the left when I play the movie. I'm guessing it's to do
with the script I'm using to retrieve the PHP file but as I didn't
write it myself I don't know what bit needs to be altered.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Leo (using Flash 8)

Sorry, I misunderstood your question – the code was
created in the authoring environment but despite assigned center
alignment in the properties panel it didn't come out that way in
the movie. Anyway I resolved the problem with the following piece
of code...
Cheers – Leo

Linking a class to a dynamic text field to load XML data.

Hi,
I'm quite new to ActionScript and would be grateful for any help here.
I want to load text into a dynamic text field (called 'about_tab') using a class depending on the language selected (by clicking on a flag icon) by the user.
I managed to get this to work when the ActionScript was written directly in the timeline, but am having problems with doing the same thing via a class.
This is my class file:
package
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
public class ChangeLang extends SimpleButton
public function ChangeLang()
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, switchLang);
trace("ChangeLang class working");
public function switchLang(event:MouseEvent):void
var lang = event.target.name;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("languages/"+lang+".xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var substance:XML;
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
trace("function xmlLoaded is running");
substance = new XML(loader.data);
about_tab.text = substance.about_lbl;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
loader.load(req);
Here's one of my XML files (the other is the same except "About" is written in German):
<substance>
<about_lbl>About</about_lbl>
</substance>
When I run it, it returns my trace statements that the class ChangeLang and the function xmlLoaded are running, but no text appears in the dynamic text field (I should/want to see the word 'About'). I get this error message:
1120: Access of undefined property about_tab
The problem, I'm guessing, is in the part in red in my code. I think I need to target the text field in the display list by creating a reference to it. If so, could someonw point out how I do this, or perhaps a tutorial that would help. I've tried adding the word stage (i.e.,stage.about_tab.text = substance.about_lbl; ) but it still doesn't connect. I guess there's something really simple I'm missing, so I apologize if this comes across as a stupid question
Thanks for any help.

Hello flashrocket!
I'm also new to AS3 and I've just started using external classes and I think I know what you should do to put your code to work.
Instead of using the text field you created inside your flash file, why don't you use the "TextField" class to create an instance of this object? It's the exact same thing as when you create and instantiate a new text field inside Flash.
First, import flash.text.*; (includes classes like TextField, TextFieldAutoSize, TextFormat, TextFormatAlign, etc)
Than you just have to create a var like
public var about_tab : TextField;
or
public var about_tab : TextField = new TextField();
then, to adjust the properties of this tab you use dotsyntax as if it where on your stage like:
about_tab.x = 50; about_tab.alpha = .5; etc...
you can even create a function to "config your textField"
          private function createAndConfigTextField() : void {
               about_tab = new TextField(); //you only need this line if you
          // only typed something like "public var about_tab:TextField;
          // if instead you used "public var about_tab:TextField = new TextField(); outside
          // this function, just skip this first line because you already have an instance of
          // text field named "about_tab"...
                        about_tab.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
               about_tab.background = true;
               about_tab.border = true;
               var aboutTextFormat : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
               format.font = "Arial";
               format.color = 0x000000;
               format.size = 11;
               format.bold = true;
               format.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
               about_tab.defaultTextFormat = aboutTextFormat;
               addChild(about_tab);
This is just an example of what you can do... I hope you get it... let me know if you have any doubt...

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

Dynamic Text won't Print - Ahhhh! Help!!!

I'm importing a png file using an xml file and a text file
for importing text. The image and text show up fine, but when I
PRINT, both don't show up. I"VE GOT TO GO LIVE WITH THIS TODAY. It
has to Print! PLEASE HELP!

I found my own answer and thought I should share it with all
of you. Since I was so surprised that you had to use ActionScript
to tell the movie to allow dynamic text or a dynamic png files to
print. You basically add the following lines for each instance of
dyanmica text or for a movie clip. I was alos using a prebuilt
component, so I had to give this component an instance name.
function printpic(){
print(this.pic, "bframe");
I called the function printpic just to stay in alignment with
the instance name of the movie clip on the stage which was pic.
Then everything printed like it was suppose to.

Dynamic Text Field Height (k)

I have generated a dynamic Text Field through ActionScript
(actually it
generates a bunch)
this["char"+ii].createTextField("true_txt", 997+ii, 0, 0, 1,
1);
Everything is working well, with one exception. I have the
font, size,
color done through ActionScript. The particular font I am
using,
ElanBook is getting cut off in the Text Field slightly.
I've tried a number of methods to get the text field taller,
but no
dice. Is there a way to specify that the text align within a
Text Field
to the center, bottom, baseline, etc. using ActionScript?
-Kirk

no, but you can size your textfield using any number of
textfield properties. in particular, you should check the autoSize
property.

Dynamic Text in Paragraph Form as in Database

it to a page as dynamic text, it all jumbles together in 1
paragraph. can someone help me.
Thanks

Connecting a CSS doc to an XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash

Hi all,
I am trying to connect a CSS file such that it applies it
self to the content of an XML file, viewed inside a dynamic text
field. So far I have managed to gather the code that "calls" the
contents of the XML file and also the code that calls the CSS file.
However, when I test the flash movie I get "undefined" instead of
the actual copy.
Attached then is the the AS code, XML file, and CSS file. I
hope you could help me connect everything together.
And of course, THANKS!!

Problm in dynamic text field when i view it in IE

Hi
i have used dynamic text field for UI Lebels, text is comming
from xml file.i have TextFormat as well .
when i publish and see out put in swf file it is looking good
and all the text in the same place where i have placed it. but if i
see it in IE browser.
all text is moved littile bit as well as its not taking
formating of the text .. means if i have used Arial bold 10 .. but
is not showing bold ...
can any body help on this issue

It is a very simple to solve issue:
There is a line break in your CSS code on the main page in the background image url.
Current Firefox versions do not like that.
<code>body {
background:#000000 url("http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fKjKe5YUrXg/SjKITFBNaxI/AAAAAAAADWI/u5ohtFDhVc0/black-%20lighter.jpg
background-position: down-left;
background-attachment: fixed;

font: x-small "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, Sans-serif;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
</code>
This should fix it:
<code>body {
background:#000000 url("http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fKjKe5YUrXg/SjKITFBNaxI/AAAAAAAADWI/u5ohtFDhVc0/black-%20lighter.jpg");

Dynamic text doesnt load in container

hey,
like the headline says i have a problem wit a dynamic text which i load from a .php file
Just in a container, if I load it on its own it works correctly
example: www.borgball.at.tc (Gästebuch)
www.borgball.at.tc/gaestebuch.swf
its the same file both times.
Structure: Main(root)-->container
code:
count = new LoadVars();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(main.maxscroll > 1){
        main_balken._visible = true;
    }else{
        main_balken._visible = false;
count.load("count_guestbook.txt?nocache="+new Date().getTime(), 0);
count.onLoad = function(ok_1) {
    if (ok_1) {
        counter.text = this.zahlguestbook;
    } else {
        counter.text = "0";
read = new LoadVars();
//read.load("guestbook.txt?nocache="+new Date().getTime(), 0);
read.load("auslesen.php?nocache="+new Date().getTime(), 0, "POST");
read.onLoad = function(ok_2) {
    if (ok_2) {
        mainframe.htmlText = this.main;
    } else {
        mainframe.htmlText = "<b><br>Keine Einträge vorhanden!</b><br>Text konnte nicht geladen werden!";
signal = 0;
stop();

this is the index.html page that i'm loading and it's not correct:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Vertically Centering Dynamic Text

I am trying to get the text I am loading into a dynamic text
box vertically aligned. There are from 3 to 8 lines of text that
load into the dynamic text box via an array. I haven't found
anything to do this. Can I get a coordinate that tells me the
height of the loaded in text? Thanks for any help...

I have the answer to my own question....
placeText = function(){
//this first line just creates a variable with the button
number pushed
var currentButton = _parent._parent.buttNo;
//oBox_txt is my dynamic text box
oBox_txt.autoSize = "center";
//this line populates the text box with text from an array
using the predefined
//variable "currentButton"
oBox_txt.text = textual[currentButton];
oBox_txt._y = ((100 - oBox_txt._height) / 2);
This assumes that the box is at the _y coordinate 0, and that
the box is 100 pixels high.

Displaying the result of a calculation in a dynamic text box

Hi folks,
I'm having a very minor issue here (operator error, I'm sure ). With the help of some folks here, I've created a series of calculations, and I've got that part down. Now, I just need it to show up in the movie.
I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:
stop();
var startDate:Date = new Date(2010,0,12); // use your startyear, startmonth, startdate in the new Date() parameters.
var currentDate:Date = new Date(); // assuming user's clock is correct and in your timezone. else use server date/time.
var numberOfSeconds:Number = (currentDate.getTime()-startDate.getTime())/1000;
var interest:Number = (numberOfSeconds*0.74356);
var totalmoney:Number = (interest+15,000,000);
function displaytotal(evt:TextEvent):void {
total.text = "totalmoney";
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Napo

You didn't have to bury any of the calculations in the function--leaving it as you had it is better. They could remain where they a=werew, and you'll probably find you want them outside it if you have other plans for using them. If left inside, they only have scope inside. In the programming world, it's good to think of functions as things that do one thing and one thing only (though it isn't often practiced that way)--it's called modular design.
When you place an event as an argument for a function, it typically means that there is an event listener that initiates the call to the function. If you work with buttons you'll see what I mean. But if the plan is to create your own call to a function when you desire it as such, not have it driven by an event listener, then you don't need to pass any event to it, though you may pass some other type of variable to it if need be.
For instance, what you have now will call the function without an argument because the function has the value built into its code....
displaytotal();
But you could also make the function a little more generic and set it up to recieve the value instead as an argument...
function displaytotal(amt:Number):void {
total.text = String(amt); // an earlier error of mine
displaytotal(totalmoney);
That would make your function a little more useful. Now it could be used to display other Number variables as well.
// my earlier error was that a textfield displays text, so you need to convert the Number value to s String.
Hope I'm not confusing you.

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??
Joel

The code is in composition ready. Click the filled {}
