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 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 make links in dynamic text?

Hi All,
I need to know how to make links in dynamic text. I have
created a
table to hold the dynamic copy, and the copy is added through
a CMS page
that I created. This Admin page is accessed through a
browser, and I
don't know how to attach a link to selected text within a
browser. Can
anyone point the way? It's probably so easy I'll feel dumb.
Thanks,
Brett

The only other thing might be to use something like FCK (or
one of the many
others... ContentSeed, I think is one Murray mentions often)
for the CMS,
that would give an easier option for the end user. WebAssist
has an
FCK-based plug-in called iRite that can give a more
wordprocessing-like feel
to the field (i.e., they could just highlight the text and
then click a
button to add the link).

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...

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

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".

I would like to inquire how to use air 2.7 sdk in flash cs5.5.
I have searched some solutions online and tried to copy air2.7 content in air2.6 folder(replaced the old one). I then did some efficiency tests but I don't see any improvements at all. Did I miss anything?
Besides that, There's a display ratio problem if I publish the ipa in landscape mode. I can't interact with the program either. But it is not a problem if the ipa is published in portrait mode.

You can post this on Flash's forum. You should get a good answer from there.
As I understand, there should be an update in MAX. Not sure how the update will get released.

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

How do I create dynamic scrolling text in Flash CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.
I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
Remember, I'm a complete newbie.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks again Kglad,
I really have no preference of Action Script since I don't have any significant experience with either one.
I'll keep doing searches to see if I can get the information I need.
Have a great holiday.

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}() {

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 in Flash: a href="mailto:... tag?

I am using an Access DB to feed text dynamically to Flash.
Although some simple html tags work in the text, I tried putting in
<a href="mailto:[email protected]"> link tag in and it
didn't work. Does flash not support mailto links in dynamic text?
Is there a workaround to get a link into the dynamic text that will
open an email?

Nevermind! It works - the link didn't change color so I
hadn't realized the link actually worked... I'm a dummy. Flash is
smart.
