Date & Dynamic Text

I have a news systems and I am having trouble displaying both
the date from the database and the text.
Here is how my page is layed out:
HEADLINE (DATE (date/time in sql server)
Story (text) in sql server.
If I remove DATE then the Story Shows up.
Please advise.
Using 8.0.2 Update

Hi,
When creating the recordset, you need to specify, by name,
each field in the
SELECT statement and make sure that any (text) fields are
last to be
specified.
SELECT date, story FROM table...etc as opposed to SELECT *
FROM
table....etc.
When you remove date, only one field exists so story would
display, I think!
:o)
Again, just a guess, but it sounds like it might be this.
Hope this is
useful.
Regards
Nath.

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...

Dynamic Text for data series ?

Hi, is posible setting dynamic text in data series when use dynamic value ?
We need show Actual Year value and Last Year value in Label for Series.
Thank you.

This is not possible unless you have enhancement pack 1 for visual composer which I think is still in rampup...
Here is the enhancement noted in the article below.
Taken from blog:
Option to dynamically define element titles
For chart views, form views, table views, HTML views, nested iViews and popup iViews (popup signal), you can now define dynamic titles using the Expression Editor. A new (ellipsis) button to the right of the field in the Configure Element task panel displays the Title Editor dialog box, in which you enter either or define a custom expression.

Dynamic text in Data elements

Hi all,
          Can we populate the data element text dynamically.
         For eg: we have field TXT whose data element is ZTEXT and the short text that appears in the table is TEXT.
        Now we want to create two other fields TXT1 and TXT2 and the text that needs to appear should be other than TEXT (could be TEXT1 & TEXT2) is it possible to do such kind of modifications..
      To boil down, we want to use one data element across different fields but that text needs to be diffferent.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Kishore Yerra.

The text is inherited from the data element. While creating tables you have 2 options 'Data Elements'   OR 'BUILT-IN / PREDEFINED' see the button next to SEARCH HELP button in the table - toolbar.
In such case why you want to use the Text element, you can use th BUILT-IN / PREDEFINED Types, You can direcly give the field name and type along with required texts.
Hope it will help.
Regards,
Vishal

Displaying XML data in dynamic text box

I'm attempting to display external XML data in a dynamic text box. When I test preview my code, the information that I want to display shows up in the Output window, so I know that its linked and works. My trouble is creating the code that will link to my (txtBox) and displaying when previewed. Please take a look at the files below if you have any time to offer suggestions.
Thank you!
Andy

That's not an error, it's just a warning and flash is suggesting that if you use appendText vs. +=, that your results may display faster
if you don't want to see the warning, you can take the suggestion and use:
txtBox.appendText(bldg.S11[i].SF.text());
txtBox.appendText(bldg.S11[i].Tenant.text());
txtBox.appendText(bldg.S11[i].Status.text());

Today's date dynamically entered into text field that user enters additional text into same field.

Trying to have today's date dynamically entered into a repeating table row textfield when the button is clicked to create each repeating row. The user can then enter addtional text into the same text field next to the date.
Example:
[4/25/2012] This is the text the user entered.
Today's date is populated in each update row created when the "Update Row" button is clicked.
The following script works but only for the first instance, not the second, third, forth, etc...
Click event: (JavaScript, client)
this.resolveNode('Table2._RowB').addInstance(1);
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.RowB.#subform.Update").rawValue
Thank you,

I am spooling output data into text file using command
select 'select t.mxname,bo.lxtype,t.mxrev'||chr(10)||'from mx_1234567'||chr(10)||
'where <condition>';
here mxname varchar(128),lxtype(128),mxrev(128) all are of varchar type.I want the output in format
e.g Part|1211121313|A
but due to column width the output,I am getting is with spaces.
"Part then blank spaces |1211121313 then blank spaces |A"
how can I remove these spaces between columns.I used set space 0 but not working.
Thanks in advance.
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi Frank,
I have seen your reply for SET LINE SIZE function. But, I could not be able to understand it.
I am facing similar kind of issue in my present project.
I am trying spool more than 50 columns from a table into flat file. Because of more column lengths in few columns, i am getting space. There are so many columns with the same issue. I want to remove that space.so that, data can fit perfectly in one line in .txt file without any wrap text.

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.

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??

Issue with visibiliy of dynamic text and hyperlinks

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've build a Flash site and a I'm finding a out a lot has changed.
I'm building a simple site with some pictures, text and the 5 last posts from Twitter.
This last one is not working out that well.
First of all:
The outputed data from Twitter is displayed into a dynamic text field which is working fine when I test the movie in Flash, but as soon as I upload it to my server the text is not visible.
Flash already told me that I need to enclose my font in the movie (that's new for me) and I did that using the button in the properties windows.
But it still won't work.
I recreated the Twitter reader in a empty document to isolate it from my website during the troubleshooting.
Here's the AS I'm using:
var loadXML:XML = new XML();
 loadXML.ignoreWhite = true;
 loadXML.onLoad = processXML;
 loadXML.load("twitter.php"); //used when swf in placed on server
 loadXML.load("");
 function processXML(loaded:Boolean)
 if(loaded)
 var node = this.firstChild;
 tweet_1.text = node.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
 tweet_2.text = node.childNodes[1].childNodes[2].firstChild;
 tweet_3.text = node.childNodes[2].childNodes[2].firstChild;
 tweet_4.text = node.childNodes[3].childNodes[2].firstChild;
 var follower_count = node.childNodes[9].childNodes[11].childNodes[9].firstChild;// Creates variable
 trace(follower_count); //loads variable into output
 follower_count_txt.text = follower_count;// show follower count in text box
 else
 error_txt.text = "Error loading XML file";
 for (i=0; i<follower_count; i++)
 _root.attachMovie("tweep_mc", "tweep"+i+"_mc", i);
 _root["tweep"+i+"_mc"]._x = 150 + random(500);
 _root["tweep"+i+"_mc"]._y = 150 + random(500);
 trace(i);
 trace(i);
 follow_btn.onRelease = function()
 getURL("");
facebook_btn.onRelease = function()
 getURL("");
stop();
Right here you can see the output of it on the server.
The second issue:
The items posted to Twitter will simply always contain pictures which Twitter posts as hyperlinks.
Is there a way to make those hyperlinks function in my dynamic text field?
Hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks in advance!!
Karim

Ok.. After some resarch I find out the guy who created this made use of the Twitter API.. Since I don't know how to do that and
can't find straight answers that's not an option for me...
Althought...
What I forgot to mention in the first post:
This is what the beginning of actionscript is actually looking like right now and why it is working offline:
var loadXML:XML = new XML();
 loadXML.ignoreWhite = true;
 loadXML.onLoad = processXML;
 loadXML.load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=karimbizid2");
I'm getting the data direct from the Twitter server.
This procedure does'nt neceserly need a PHP file to store the XML, right?
I'm guessing it's just a visual issue why the text isn't showing.
Karim

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}() {

Help with delivering dynamic text through an external file, through XML?

I'm struggling to find the best way to deliver dynamic text
from an external file, through XML, to a Flash file.
I use small Flash pieces to deliver multiple sets of content
through a single .swf file. An example is here:
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/government/federal.asp
In the .swf file at the bottom, I'm using a three-scene .fla
file. I'm putting the actionScript in the Actions layer atop each
frame. Example:
stop ();
loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
loadVarsText.load("fedNews.txt");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("done loading");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller" equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.html=true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
} else {
trace("not loaded");
In that .txt file, I'm putting the information like this:
var1=<a href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>DAU
Grants ESI Course CON353
Equivalency</a> Advanced Business Solution
in Contracting (CON 353) is an equivalency for DAU's CON 3535
course, Advanced Business Solutions for Mission Support. <a
href='
http://www.esi-intl.com/public/classroomtraining/dau.asp'>Continue</a>
So much of this is pick-ups from what I've researched in
Google. I'm looking for a way I can feel more confident in my code,
and also have that code follow CSS.
Lastly, I recognize the problems in XML with using single
quotes / double quotes, and the & symbol. This is one of my
largest time sucks, and I'd like to find a better way to do this.
Thank you

Hi,
Did you ever find a resolution to this? I'm having a similar
issue that I can't seem to get multiline dynamic text working in
CS3.
The font is embedded but it just displays the first line, and
then a blank. I'm sure this worked fine in Flash MX.
Cheers, Ant

Using loadVariables() to populate a Dynamic Text in a MovieClip

Hello everyone,
I am trying to populate a Dynamic Text with data from a
remote database. I have no problem populating the Dynamic Text with
the data from the remote database if the Dynamic Text is placed in
the main timeline using the following code.
loadVariables ("php/attorney.php", "");
Once I move the Dynamic Text into a Movie Clip with instance
name of “MC_But_1” I am only able to populate the
Dynamic Text if I place the above code in the movie clip. Since it
is going to take sometimes for the data to be transferred from the
remote database I rather to do this on the main timeline before the
MC_But_1 is shown. I have used the following code but for some
reason it is not working.
loadVariables ("php/attorney.php", _root.MC_But_1);
Can someone be kind enough to tell me where I am going wrong?
Thank you very much and have a great day.
Khoramdin

> Since it is going to take sometimes for the data to be
> transferred from the remote database
That is one of the best arguments for abandoning
loadVariables() in
favor of LoadVars(). Check that out in the manual. It's
better because
there are events that get triggered when a data transfer has
completed
and you can write an event handler script to deal with server
responses.

Dynamic Text in Form Results

Anyone know how do I include the dynamic text box data in a
form? The user clicks on a picture when then populates a dynamic
text field box with the text using external txt files. I then want
the user to be able to email the form with some input fields filled
out (which is working fine), but I cannot get the text from the
dynamic fields to come through in the email. Thanks

Acually this seems to be just fine. All the underlined words
are variables,
sent from Flash to PHP.
Your variable loadText seems to be shaken a little. Is this
variable the one
you`re looking for?

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.
