Dynamic text won't display

I don't know if this is a bug. I have a movie that contains a
dynamic text. When I run it, the text displays fine. But when the
said movie is run through another movie clip (using loadMovie), the
dynamic text won't display. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Than again, it's a bug on your end :)
Dynamic text is a text container, it's to be use with
dynamically given data, from
source file or variable string on timeline. It's not meant to
be for regular text
display. You need to use Static text. The fact that you can
see it it's just flash
being tolerant but it only lasts for as long as the movie is
getting more complex.
You can get away with somethings even tho you should not be
using them, does not
mean they will work all the way. Dynamic text, as said above
is for text that comes
to flash from outside source and this is when it works best.

Text won't display

my text won't display properly (size and position) in premeire elements 7

dannyellis1
What computer operating system are you running the Premiere Elements 7 program?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" type of issue or "it never worked before"?
Where is the text not displaying correctly...in the opened Titler, in the disc menu window in the Create Menus section of the program, other, or everywhere?
Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
You mention size and position. What about font type?
Also, please include:
a. computer resources description
b. properties of your source media
c. project preset
d. description of Timeline content and duration
Let us start here and then decide what next.

Dynamic Text to be displayed as Image in Adobe Forms

Hi ,
I have a requirment to display dynamic text in the image format in the Adobe Form.
I have tried using the Image field instead of text field.But could not solve the problem.
kindly help me.
Thanks.

Hello,
if you send a text into a text field to the print form, it looks like a paper print, you cannot tell where there is a picture and where is the text. So you don´t care about the image/ text problem. If you need to make difference between two for the user, you can put the text (your image) into a rectangle, use a background or anything like this.
Why would the image make any difference?

Dynamic gallery won`t display once uploaded on FTP

Hi, I builded this dynamic gallery page that display the
pictures using an UI Loader component.
When I test the movie in Flash the gallery loads and displays
the external picture with no problems. However, once the html and
SWF file are upoladed on line you can see everything correctly but
the clickable thumbnails won`t open any picture.
In the FTP I`m keeping the same exact path as my directory.
The code says
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ldr1)
function ldr1 (e:Event) {
my_ldr.source = "PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.jpg";
So, I have a PICTURES folder in the same directory as the SWF
and HTML document and inside of it I have the FASHION folder
containing the pictures called "fashion1", "fashion2", and so
forth...
I can send more code if necessary. It seems a pretty
straightforward process and it should work, but I can gigure out
why is not working.
Anybody have any idea why?
Here` s the website in progress
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/home.html

I see in the directory tree of your web host that all of your
jpg's have all caps for their extensions (fashion1.JPG not
fashion1.jpg). If you change the path in the Flash or change the
filenames this will work. Often, your local computer OS doesn't
care about caps vs no-caps, whereas web servers often do care, and
in this instance your web server does.
To test this, if you put "
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.jpg"
into the browser path you get a "404 Not Found" error. If you
change it to "
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.JPG"
you get the image.

Japanese text won't display in SWF

Hi. I have a Flash file that reads text from an XML document
and displays it in dynamic text boxes. Some of these boxes are
animated and/or rotated, so I have embedded the fonts. Everything
works great with English characters, but I need it to work on
International systems also. When the XML file contains any Japanese
characters (or any 2-byte characters), little squares appear in the
text boxes instead of the correct characters.
I can make it work if I use _sans as the font for the dynamic
text, but this can't be embedded so the text disappears if it is
rotated. I have also gotten it to work with the font Arial MS
Unicode, but this bloats the SWF from ~400k to ~7mb!
Does anyone know of any other fonts that support the high
ascii/2-byte characters? Or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!!

Not that I know of. Your problem is that you're loading the
content
dynamically, so you have no idea what it will contain.
There's normally
no need to embed Japanese fonts for a Japanese audience,
because they
already have the main fonts, such as Mincho, Gothic, or Osaka
on their
machine. Perhaps you'll just have to give up the idea of
rotation.

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.

I have checked with the properties and subform and table is set to:-
1. visible
2. Flowed
I have gone through every possbile thread relevant in forum, but the problem still remains unresolved. Please suggest me any possible solution.

Hi,
The problem was in the Form properties - Default, as the default XDP review Form was set Acrobat 7 ( Dynamic ) XML Form and my ADLC version was 8.0. It took a while for to understand this as I was under the impression that I am working on ADLC 7.0. When the changed the version the problem was resolved.

Flash text won't display from web

I cannot for the life of me get my "flash text" to work in
Dreamweaver. It shows up just fine in the "preview in browser"
mode, but once I put on the web, it fails to show up in any
computer I have tried--including the one I made it in where the
preview worked.
Any ideas

Post a link to the page, please.

When I go to site, text won't display

Put up a new site, http://ghialternate.businesscatalyst.com/. When the site loads, it is just the graphics. If I mouse over some of the areas text will appear, but some never shows unless I refresh the page.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using Chrome? You have possibly encountered the bug in the most recent version of Chrome with rendering web fonts. Take a look at the following thread for more details - http://forums.adobe.com/message/6157419.

How to display Dynamic text after adding flash file to html

Please help - I have a dynamic text field in a movieclip
inside a main movieclip - Within flash the dynamic text display
properly but once I load the file to an html page the dynamic text
no longer display - It loads undefined in text box. However when I
remove the movieclip from main movieclip text display no
problem.

that's as2 code, not as3. please post in the correct forum
next time.
either about.txt is not in the same directory as the html
file that loads or embeds your swf or there's a case issue with
about.txt really being About.txt, for example.

Dynamic Text in Child SWF

I created a tool tip symbol and corresponding class that
follows the mouse cursor. The tool tip works fine when the swf that
it lives in is run by itself. When I load that swf as a child, the
dynamic text won't work. The tool tip clip appears and follows the
mouse but the text doesn't show. The tool tip class extends movie
clip and accesses the dynamic text as follows.
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class tooltip extends MovieClip{
public var dynTextInstance:TextField;
public function setTipText(textPassedToFunction:String):void
this.dynTextInstance.htmlText = textPassedToFunction;
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

Could you please post entire class or, at least, the full
code for how you create the textfield instance and set its
parameters?

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 box and minus variable?

I have a text box with dynamic text set to display p variable but when the variable goes < 0 it only displays a '-'.
im using:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
p = my_object._x;
How can I correct this? Also another question with 'my_object._x' it returns the x coord relative to the movie clip it is in. How do I get the position relative to the 0,0 (top left corner)?
I've been learning Flash for 2 days so sorry if the questions sound simple. I have tried googling these.

for the textfield question....
I'm not too sure about that... it could be related to the width of the textfield, or maybe a maxChars setting on the textfield....not really sure sorry. Someone else may have an answer....
for the other question...
getRect() gives you the bounding box (without stroke width, use getBounds() if you want bounds outside the stroke width)
try
var geometricBounds = my_object.getRect();
trace(geometricBounds.xMin+","+geometricBounds.yMin)

Dynamic text not loading properly in web browser

Please help - I have a dynamic text field in a movieclip
inside a main movieclip - Loading works well within Flash and
GoLive but once I load the file to the web browser the dynamic text
no longer display - It loads undefined in the text box. However
when I remove the movieclip from main movieclip text display no
problem in browser.

make sure to 'embed' the font, into the textField instance.
select the instance on the Stage, look in the properties panel, and
click the 'embed' button, skipping 'all' select the next four
listings, and hit enter.

If else conditional statements for dynamic text fields (as 2.0)

This is about a self assesment quiz.There will be four options and each one has a scale from1-5 ie "option a" has 1mark, "option b" has 2marks,"option c" has 3 marks, "option d" has 4marks and "option e" has 5 marks and we count the answerd and we display the scor for example if there are 20 question in it if they answered "option e" 5 times the score will be
25 and option d 5 times the score will be 20,anf if "option c" for 5 times the score will be 15,and "option b" for 3 times the score will be 6 and "option a" two times the score will be 2, and we add up all the score and display in a dynamic text field called "scor" and the total score is 68.And i have another dynamic text field called "tsc" where i have to display the tags like excellent , good, better ......ect.
Till now every thing is fine but i am unable to compare them it is displaying excellent even if i get 10 marks, i am unable to configure where i am going wrong.
If the score is greater than 55 "tsc" should display Excellent, if the score is greater than 41 or less than 55 "tsc" should display Best, if the score is greater than 26 or less than 40 "tsc" should display Better,if the score is none of the above "tsc" should display Poor.
This is my code on the submit button:
on (release) {
    gotoAndStop("sQ");
    if (scor>=55) {
        tsc = "Excellent";
    } else if (scor == 41 && scor<=55) {
        tsc = "Best";
    } else if (scor == 26 && scor<=40) {
        tsc = "Better";
    } else if (scor == 10 && scor<=25) {
        tsc = "Good";
    } else {
        tsc = "Poor";
where:
"sQ" is the frame name where i am displaying the score details
"scor" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying total score
"tsc" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying the tags llike good, Excellent, better, poor.....etc
Plese help.......

Use trace commands to make sure that what you think you are processing is what is actually hapenning.
Your middle conditionals are not written as you described them... any "==" should be ">="
It is recommended you get away from using the textfield var option... it can be troublesome to work with. Just assign an instance name to the textfield and assign the values to its text property... for instance, say you name it tscField, then you would use tscField.text = "Excellent";
Also, realize that the gotoAndStop command will not happen until after all the code executes in case that matters
on (release) {
    gotoAndStop("sQ");
    trace(scor);
    if (scor>=55) {
        tsc = "Excellent";
    } else if (scor >= 41 && scor<=55) {
        tsc = "Best";
    } else if (scor >= 26 && scor<=40) {
        tsc = "Better";
    } else if (scor >= 10 && scor<=25) {
        tsc = "Good";
    } else {
        tsc = "Poor";
