Give Dynamic Text value problem

Hello again,
Currently I'm having another problem with AS3. I have 1
Scene, 2 Movie Clips. 1 Movie Clip is placed on the main Timeline,
whereas the other is placed within that Movie Clip. I create a
TextField with the instance name "question" in the 2nd Movie Clip.
I have Actionscript on the first frame of the main Timeline; in the
code, I add a value to the above mentioned TextField with this line
: 'mc1.mc2.question.text = "1" '. I test the movie but it doesn't
work, the TextField is still blank.
However, if I add the value to the TextField within Movie
Clip 2, it works.
There's no error or warning from debugger. Please help me.
Thank you!

um...thanks for your advice.
Btw, Alpha doesn't work with Graphic Symbol that contains
Textfield?
Let me explain my problem again.
What I want to do is I want to add a value to two Textfields
(same instance name) with actionscript. I have a Movie Clip, and
inside that Movie Clip, I add a blank textfield. The MC is on the
main Timeline's first frame, the textfield is on the first frame of
the MC's timeline. the second textfield is on the 30th frame of
that MC. MC stops at the beginning. So, on the main Timeline, I add
value to two textfields with the same instance name (
mc.textfield.text = "1"). The first Textfield is "1" but the second
is blank. I had done this before and it worked, but now...
I hope it's a bit clearer. Thank you!

Dynamic text box problems

I have created a dynamic text box and an input text box.
I have produced code that replicates whatever is typed in the
input box to display in the dynamic box along with a date and time
stamp once a button is clicked.
This all works fine, except for the sizes of the fonts. for
both boxes, i selected font size 10 . The input box is fine,
however the dynamic box text is huge.
When i make the dynamic text font smaller, it fits in fine,
but the input text that is inserted into the dynamic text box comes
in too big. If i make the input text box font smaller it is
unreadable when typing it in.
any soultion to how to make my font consistent. I am assumin
the problem is because both the text boxes are different sizes,
however i don't know how to resolve the issue.
Any help is much appreciated.

hi laura
i think the problem it's in the targetPath "
mainClip.newspaper_mc.newinstructions.text =
lu.welcome[langIdx];".
chech if you have mistype the instance names of your
movieClip and rewrite it or in the Actions panel select the path "
mainClip.newspaper_mc.newinstructions" and click the button
"Insert Target Path" this will open a popup with a tree of your
MC's on the stage, so you can browse and find the textfield. i hope
i helped you if not let me know!

Newb needs help with dynamic text

Hi Everyone,
I don't like being a newb - but that's how it is...
I'm trying to create a multipage registration form that
allows uses to register products.
The first page asks for name etc, and on the second page I
want it to say "Welcome "+username "!" - that sort of thing...
The problem is I can't get it to keep the dynamic text values
accross the pages.
I can get it to repeat the input on the first page with this
code:
_root.firstname_txt.onChanged = function() {
_root.firstname_repeat.text="Hello
"+_root.firstname_txt.text;
However when I call it on the second page it is undefined:
second_repeat.text="hello "+_root.firstnamt_txt.text;
trace (_root.second_repeat.text);
I'm sure this is something simple and I'm just a programming
dunce...
Any help is appreciated.
ta

if your textfield (_root.firstname_repeat) doesn't exist on
the 2nd frame, its text property will be undefined.
to remedy, either extend your textfield's existance into the
frames needed or use a variable to store its text property (in your
onChanged handler) and use that variable to retrieve the value you
need.

Issue passing values to text symbols in Dynamic text PDF forms

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a problem related to Dynamic texts in Adobe PDF forms (Text node of type include text). I am able to pass the dynamic values to the Text node properties but i am not able to pass the values to Text symbols inside the Text node. When tested it says the field not found. I have the same structure and field in the CONTEXT as that of the text symbol. The problem i see is because in PDF the field names have $record.(fieldname) ?
Please share your thoughts if anyone has faced similar problem or know how to handle it.
Thanks a million in advance,
Chandu

Open the report up in the Designer and Click on Edit, Subreport Links. Likely what you can do is use Shared Variables to pass values from the main report to the subreport.
You need to do this in the report first. If you are using RAS then you can at runtime. If RAS is not available to you then no way in code.
See these samples:

Problem with editable combo box and creating dynamic table values using js

Hai
I have used jquery.jec.js to make my dropdown list as editable... I need to create dynamic table values on the onChange event of dropdown using javascript.
Now am facing the problem in it...
I am getting duplicate rows in the table... think(assumption) this jquery.jec.js is calling the dropdown again creating duplicate values...
Please help me out.... Any help is appreciable... Thanks in advance

Thanks elOpalo, for your valuable response....
I have found the correct way of doing.
Before i had my code like this,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.jec.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#list').jec();
function giveAlert(){
alert('hello');
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
Combo Box:
<select id="list" name="list" onChange="giveAlert();">
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now i have changed as the following,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.jec.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('select.combo').jec();
$('select.combo')
.change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
}).change();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Combo Box:</td>
<td><select class="combo"><option value="b">banana</option><option value="a">apple</option></select></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The problem is with the function i have called on the onChange Event.. Now i have defined it inside the jquery function of dropdown to make it as editable...

Problems sending text from JavaScript to dynamic text box

For reasons which I won't bore you with, I'm trying to send
text from a JavaScript to a dynamic text box in Flash. I've just
spent all day wondering why I can't get it to work, despite
following web guides to the letter. Finally I discovered that I'm
not actually doing anything wrong and everything works perfectly -
as long as it's online. It won't work at all locally or from the
network.
The problem is that this is for learning material which will
be deployed both online and on CD, so it won't always be running
from a webserver. Has anybody got any ideas a) why this is
happening, and b) what I can do about it?
Cheers
Marc

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/JSPBeans.html
This is a good tutorial on using JSP pages with JavaBeans.
Your JSP page can have all the standard HTML tags and a bean can be set to retrieve any values from form fields upon a submit.
At that point your bean properties are set and your Java application can use that data for whatever processes you wish.
It's really quite simple once you get the hang of it! ^_^

Map var value in dynamic text box

I written public function in public class ,my problem is that I will like to map the trace value in dynamic text box which is on the stage of fla fil, It shows trace value properly but If I pass the var value like msg1.text = (processCode);
it doesn’t work It shows an error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: text.
public function Code:
public function processResponse(rcvParametersArray:Array):void {
            var processCode:int=rcvParametersArray[0];
            var homeTypeID:int=rcvParametersArray[1];
            var homeTypeID:int=rcvParametersArray[2];
            var numhome:int=rcvParametersArray[3];
            var homeInfo:Array=new Array(numHomes);
            var i:int=4;
            for (i = 4; i < (numhomes+4); i++) {
                homeInfo.push(rcvParametersArray[i]);
            var msg1:text;
            var numOnlinePlayers:int=rcvParametersArray[i];
            var serverTime:String = rcvParametersArray[(i+1)];
             msg1.text = (processCode);
            trace("Action Code " + process);
            trace("Game Type " + gameTypeID);
            trace("Home Type " + tableTypeID);
            trace("Number of Homes " + numHomes);
           msg1.text=actionCode;

Following is not the correct way to create a text box dynamically.
var msg1:text;
You should use the following to create the text box
First drag one text box to stage and delete it. It will add required graphics to your library then import the classes using
import flash.text.TextField
Now create the text box
var msg1:TextField = new TextField();

How can i set the dynamic text box to show variable value?

In AS2, I can make a dynamic text box set a var name, when i
use button set/change the var value, this textbox can show the
value also.
but In AS3, dynamic text box can't add var name. than how can
i do it now?

Set an instance name for the dynamic textfield. Then, to
populate the textfield with the value of a variable, use:
textFieldInstanceName.text = variableName

ScrollPane + Dynamic text problem.

Hi,
I use the ScrollPane component to display a movieclip which contains some text. Until now I have entered just a few paragraphs, with the text field set to "Static text"...but as I have wrote some more I noticed that the text field displays only half of my text. So I have switched to "Dynamic text", which solves the display issue and I get 100% of my text but now I have it always on the scene displayed, even if it is only available in the library...strange!
Could somone help me out please??
Regards,
vedtam

Ok, I try to make my self clear.
I have to display a really long text on this website. By default when I am typing anything the Text tool is set to "Static text" in that little drop down in the Text Properties window. So I have moved on whit this, but after more then 50-60 paragraph typed in I get only 30 displayed. Than I went to that little drop down and selected "Dynamic text" to see if this helps, and when I have tested the movie again the text was displayed with all its 60 paragraph, but it was overlapping all my other content without pressing its button (without calling it).
The movieclip which contains the text, sits in the library, and the ScrollPane component (which loads it externally) is in the scene on the 1st frame. Again, as I test the movie I get the text showing up in the background, so as I click any menu item it is overlapping any other content.
What I would like to achieve is to have the text displayed without an issue (not only a half of it). But this task is failed by the "Static text" option and setting it to "dynamic text" solves the first problem while rises a second (the sudden appearance of the text on the scene without calling it).
I hope this second explanation helps,
Vedtam

Dynamic text and animated masking problem?

Hi
Can anyone suggest to me what might be happening here. I will
try and explain step by step... I am using flash MX
I have dynamically created a movieclip which I want to mask -
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovie", 1);
I dynamically add a movieclip into it which I then load a jpg
into -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("image1", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.createEmptyMovieClip("newFile", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.newFile.loadMovie("http:...");
I dynamically create another movieclip called myNormalText1
insde the first movie -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("myNormalText1", 2);
this holds a dynamically created text box called mytext -
_root.myMovie.myNormalText1.createTextField("mytext",1,0,0,0,10);
// the text box formating is dynamic, uses devise fonts,
arial and is red ect.
I have then attach a movieclip and use it as a mask to create
a transition effect over _root.myMovie (which holds the image and
text)
_root.attachMovie("mask","mask",5);
_root.myMovie.setMask("mask");
the mask movieclip is what is causing me the problem!!!
method one
when the mask movieclip contains this -
a phisically drawn box that fills the whole page
I use a shape tween to make the box transform into a thin
rectangle down the left hand side of the screen
I get a transition effect which makes _root.mymovie disapear
to the left which is what I want!
The image and text are masked correctly!
*** Please note I am aware that dynamic text boxes using
devise fonts are not displayed correctly under a mask layor when
they are not embeded, in flash MX. I am able to view my movie in a
browser window which uses flash player 8 that now allows dynamic
devise fonts to be masked!
method two
I then wanted to create a different transition effect like
venitian blinds,
so, in my mask movieclip I created several rectangles that
fill the page
again I used a shape tween so they get thinner,
when I tested my movie the same way in the browser,
the mask did not work correctly over my text in
_root.mymovie???
yet the image in _root.mymovie was masked correctly???
the only differance between the two methods is the shape
tween in method one uses one box shape, and the shape tween in
method two uses several rectangler box shapes.
I was wondering if anyone knows why the text is correctly
masked in case one and is not correctly masked in case 2
I want to do other transition effects using masks in this way
and I am having no luck :-(
Thanks for any advice
Claire Wall

Hi
I have been researching this ALOT and found some info that
basically tells me when I use setMask() over dynamic device fonts,
the mask uses its bounding box (the rectangular outside edge of the
whole mask movieclip) as the mask.
In case 1 the mask moviclips bounding box shrinks when the
shape tween plays because there is one rectangular box being
tweened. It appears to mask the text correctly.
In case 2 I have variouse different shape tweens going on
inside the mask movieclip so the bounding box stays the same size
across the whole screen and it wont appear to mask my text
correctly.
I think I have answered my own question, but this still
leaves me stuck! I want to create this venitian blind effect using
masks over devise fonts.
I came up with the idea of using for example 4 different
masks over the one movieclip but again flash doesnt like this and I
guess I can only use one setMask() per movieclip?
Can anyone suggest a way I can use multiple dynamically
created masks on one movieclip or cant it be done?
Thanks

Limit total value for dynamic text

Hi,
I've got two buttons: one which increases the value of a
dynamic text box by 1, and one which decreases the same text by 1.
I need to set a limit on the value of the dynamic text box, to -35
to +35.
The code I've got so far:
//set inital value of text box
trial1_txt.text = 0;
//control the increase button
this.Increase_btn.onPress = function(){
trial1_txt.text++;
//control the decrease button
this.Decrease_btn.onPress = function(){
trial1_txt,text--;
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm SOOOOO stuck on
this one!
Thanks!

Thank you! That works perfectly:-)

Dynamic text problem

Hi,
I have some dynamic text within a scrolbar controlled box. I
need to link certain words of the text but, whenever I attempt to
do this, the entire text block becomes 'linked'. Does anyone know
how I can solve this?
Many thanks.

Then you'll need to use html links for the words. So when you
assign the text to the textfield, you'll need to assign it as...
tField.htmlText = "text.... <a href='...>link
text</a>"... text;
where tField is whatever instance name you assigned to the
textfield

Dynamic text problem in flash cs5

Hi guys,
im building a flash website and the first page has dynamic text fields that load text via xml, that all works fine. But when i create a dynamic text field further up the time line for the second page ( i use the same code all at the fist frame of the timeline) and nothing loads. if i have an instance of the text on the first page at the start of the time line it will load on the next page (further up the time line). Ii have stop and click to go and play in the code to break up the pages.
I am a little lost, as i normally use static text.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Ah found out myself the hard way that i need to put the text feild inside its own symbol!
only took me all morning

Load Multiple Dynamic Text Files in Different frames on Maintimeline

Hello!
I have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.
Can anyone help me with this code? Thanks in advance
I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking about. Also you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away. That's another problem...ugh.
Here is link:
http://www.sandraschmitt.com/coclico/index100.html
Here is code on maintimeline:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function startLoad() {
    var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var swfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("endlessCoclico3.swf");
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
    swfLoader.load(swfRequest);
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event) {
    addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
function onProgressHandler(swfProgress:ProgressEvent) {
    var percent:Number = swfProgress.bytesLoaded/swfProgress.bytesTotal;
    trace(percent);
startLoad();
//handle events for buttons...
collections.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
raison.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
stores.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
news.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent) {
    //trace shows what's happening... in the output window
    trace("The "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!");
    //go to the section clicked on...
    gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
Here is code on actual frame where the dynamic text is working:
//Loaded exteranl text fields
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text_philosophy.txt");
function textLoaded(event:Event):void {
    philosophy_txt.text = textLoader.data;
textLoader.load(textReq);
textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded);

Textfields: What I like to do, mainly for peace of mind, is to have a layer that I dedicate to actionscript that only has code in frame 1 but it extends the full length of the timeline so that this code is available to every frame on any other layer. In this frame I put variables and functions that can get used/shared wherever they happen to be needed. I usually create another separate layer for actions types of actionscript... stuff that happens at the local frame level, like stop();, or like assigning a variable a new value, etc... things local to being at that frame/location. So with that in mind
In frame 1 on my shared-by-everyone layer, I'd probably declare the variable....
var textReq:URLRequest;
And when I get to a particular frame where I want to load a new textfield with data, I assign that var its value on the local actions layer...
textReq = new URLRequest("text_philosophy.txt");
along with the rest of the local execution regarding loading the file, etc...
SWF's:
Yeah, pretty much, and it becomes an object that has a home on the timeline, so if you move away from that frame the swf doesn't follow.
