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?

How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
Thanks-

Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

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.

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...

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}() {

Cannot find text in Flash CS5

I can't search for text in Flash CS5.
I've created a new project, added some actionscript in the first frame ("stop();")
When trying to search for this string (CTRL-F > Find and Replace) I get no results.
Search in: Current Document
For: Text
Text: stop
Replace with (blank)
Checked items:
Text fields contents
Frames/Layers/Parameterss
Strings in ActionScript
ActionSript
Nothing (ever) shows up in the results. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

3 years later... I'm having the same luck with the "Find and Replace" tool.
The only way I had any success using this tool was to drag all the MCs from the library to the stage before using "Find and Replace".
I could not figure out how to find and replace text within a mc that was in the library only and not on the stage.
Note: I also had to specify to search in "Current Document" as it would not work in the "Current Scene".

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

How to display dynamic column added by vo.addDynamicAttribute in jspx?

Hi,
I met problem when programmatically add cloumn and display it on screen. Here are my steps:
0. define a ViewObject using xml. Define a transient column Addtion2. later will add a dynamic column Addtion3, but not defined here.
1. Implement Application Module, adding a method init() and expose it to client.
2. In init() method, get target VO and use vo.addDynamicAttribute("Addition3"). Then iterate it use row.setAttribute("Addition3", Math.random()). Add init() to page binding and invoke it.( it's invoked )
3. In jspx, use dynamic table. But Addition3 never shows up.
This is my last question: Re: How to display dynamic column added by vo.addDynamicAttribute in jspx? People say I should use dynamic table.
please have a look at my code:
Application Module: when it runs, it will print 6 coulmns. vo.getAttributeCount() is <font color="red">6</font>.
<pre>
public void init() {
ViewObject vo = this.getCountryView1();
if (vo.getAttributeIndexOf("Addition3") == -1) {
vo.addDynamicAttribute("Addition3");
vo.executeQuery();
for (AttributeDef deft : vo.getAttributeDefs()) {
System.out.println(deft.getColumnName() + ": " + deft.getName());
RowSetIterator it = vo.createRowSetIterator("i1");
while (it.hasNext()) {
Row r = it.next();
r.setAttribute("Addition2", Math.random());
r.setAttribute("Addition3", Math.random());
it.closeRowSetIterator();
for (AttributeDef deft : vo.getAttributeDefs()) {
System.out.println(deft.getColumnName() + ": " + deft.getName());
System.out.println(vo.getAttributeCount()); //vo.getAttributeCount() is 6
</pre>
jspx: when it runs, only 5 columns are shown. Column Addition2's values are set as expected. but Column Addition3 never shows up. And #{bindings.CountryView1.attributeCount} shows <font color="red">5</font>.
<pre>
<af:table rows="#{bindings.CountryView1.rangeSize}"
fetchSize="#{bindings.CountryView1.rangeSize}"
emptyText="#{bindings.CountryView1.viewable ? 'No data to display.' : 'Access Denied.'}"
var="row" rowBandingInterval="0"
value="#{bindings.CountryView1.collectionModel}"
selectedRowKeys="#{bindings.CountryView1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.CountryView1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
rowSelection="single" id="t1">
<af:forEach items="#{bindings.CountryView1.attributeDefs}" var="def">
<af:column headerText="#{def.name}"
sortable="true" sortProperty="#{def.name}" id="c1">
<af:outputText value="#{row[def.name]}" id="ot1"/>
</af:column>
</af:forEach>
</af:table>
<af:forEach items="#{bindings.CountryView1.attributeDefs}" var="def">
<af:outputText value="#{def.name}" id="ot2"/>
</af:forEach>
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.CountryView1.attributeCount}" id="ot3"/>
</pre>
it's quite weird for me. The vo.getAttributeCount() is 6, but #{bindings.CountryView1.attributeCount} shows 5. And column Addtion3 never shows up.
what's the matter? How can I show the dynamic added column Addtion3?

Hi,
Can you check the tree binding (CountryView1 - in the pagedef) and see it has the 5 attributes hardcoded in it. If yes, try removing everything and then run the page to see if it works fine.

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.

Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4

Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks
Chandrakant

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/AntiAliasType.html
In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

How to load dynamic text inside a movie clip?

hello all - i have a main stage where on the first frame my
"home" movie clip displays. i did this by dragging/dropping, and
then i put a stop action. all works fine.
inside this home movie clip on the main stage, there are
links to other movie clips. for example, to get to my faq's page -
you click that button, then it takes you to frame 4 on my main
stage, where my faq's movie clip (followed by stop action) has been
dragged/dropped and displays properly.
within the faq's movie clip this process is repeated, with
buttons taking to you various pages (different frames where
different movie clips play - all works fine).
so now i want to add a dynamic text field within my faq's
movie clip. i have read numerous tutorials where i have created the
text file but i have not been able to display it with success
within my faqs movie clip.
here is some code that my dvd tutorial instructs me to place
on main stage as i practice getting this to work:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
_level5.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
} else {
_level5.loadedInfo.text = "There has been an error loading
the requested information. Please contact the webmaster.";
and here is some code that i place on the faqs button within
my main movie clip that takes me back to main stage and plays faq
movie clip all successfully:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
_root.gotoAndPlay("4");
//End Behavior
and finally, here is some code that i place within my faqs
movie clip in an attempt to display my dynamic text within the faqs
movie clip - so far unsuccessful:
_level0.myLV.load("vars/faqs.txt");
NOTE:
i have published this to view - not working.
i have my faqs text file starting as info=
i have eliminated white space within my text file
i am using flash 8 pro
can anyone offer some sugestions? thanks!

hmmmmm lemme double check as i seem to be a bit lost now.
// this is my actions layer code on frame 4 of main timeline:
stop();
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
_level5.loadedInfo.htmlText = myLV.info;
} else {
_level5.loadedInfo.text = "There has been an error loading
the requested information. Please contact the webmaster.";
myLV.load("vars/faqs.txt");
1. fyi - at frame 4 on main timeline, one layer beneath the
actions layer where i dragged/dropped my faqs movie clip i gave my
faqs movie clip an instance name of "mainfaqs" - although nowhere
do i refer to this specific mc within my code.
2. where would i replace/insert the following code?
_level0.faq_mc.loadedInfo.text = myLV.info;
3. i didn't know about embedding font but i saw the option
and embedded it - still no results.
4. i'm not sure how to do the following:
_level5.loadedInfo.text ='test'; //although I would still
change the path as above
To see if your getting a return from the load call adn text
file, use a trace statment before the success condition and see
what it returns:
trace(myLV);
sorry to be such a pain - i really have looked around for
answers through previous postings and i googled it and i've been
taking instruction through lynda.com and dvds but i seem to be
stuck here.... as always - thanks for your time
