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

  • 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.

  • Part 2: Load Image from URL into Dynamic Text Box - goodinson.snapshot

    I have a flash file where a user can add an image url into a Dynamic Text Box (image_in.text) and the image will now appear in the flash file.
    I am using goodinson.snapshot as featured in this article: Saving Flash graphics as image files at runtime | Adobe Developer Connection
    This application works fine (graphic is generated and downloaded) only if a user chooses an included graphic in the flash file (loaded externally) or if I declare a url inside the flash file for the load image variable (var image_url:String = "http://website.com/image.jpg";).
    However, if a user enters an image url into the Dynamic Text Box (image_in.text), which the flash does successfully load, the download image function no longer works!
    Is this a security bug in flash itself? Or am I missing a code tweak somewhere? 
    If an FLA that does this already exists somewhere, let me know.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks for your response!
    The image urls are on the same domain as where the swf is.
    I don't understand how declaring the variable as the url is different from declaring it from the value of a dynamic text box... it's the same url, but only one method works, shouldn't they both work?
    var image_url:String = "http://website.com/image.jpg"; works..
    var image_url:String = image_in.text; does not work, even though the value for image_in.text is identical to the one in the example above.
    Since they are all on the same domain, this should work, right?
    Thanks again.

  • Showing RSS feed in Dynamic Text box (with hyperlink)

    Hi all -
    I am currently trying to pull RSS data into a project for my first time and am trying to get 3 (potentially 4) boxes filled with rss data that will be updated. So far, I am going with Actionscript 3. So far I have the code below, but it puts data in a listbox. What is the easiest way to put the data in three dynamic text boxes inside a movie clip, so I have one for the title, one for description and one for link (shown as 'read more' text but a link using the url from the rss value)?
    I am really banging my head against the wall on this one and want to get it sorted asap, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have also attached an image to show what I am trying to do:
    I also want to know if it's possible to show rss values only if they exist. For example, my xml feed currently only has 3 items that change, and i will be assigning these to boxes, but is it possible to display a fourth if it exists, and if it doesn't it just shows the first?
    My code so far:
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
    var xml:XML;
    function onLoaded(e:Event):void
        xml = new XML(e.target.data);
        var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item.description};
        trace(il[1]);
             lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()
                                label:il.title.text()}):
    loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.rssfeedhere.xml"));

    you would create a movieclip (exported for actionscript and class = rssItem) with 3 textfields and the display shown in your message and use something like:
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
    var xml:XML;
    function onLoaded(e:Event):void
        xml = new XML(e.target.data);
        var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item.description};
        for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++){
            var mc:rssItem = new rssItem();
            addChild(mc);
            mc.x = 300*i%2;
            mc.y = 300*Math.floor(i/2);
            mc.titleTF.text = il[i].title.text();
            mc.descriptionTF.text = il[i].description.text();
            mc.readmoreTF.text = ?
    loader.load(new URLRequest(http://www.rssfeedhere.xml));

  • Dynamic text boxes, font size issues

    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.

  • Dynamic Text box with linking to frames

    I have a problem. I've tried everything I can think of and what I have Googled, but nothing has helped.

  • Text arrays (variables) and Dynamic Text Box

    Hello everyone. I have a text file (let's call it sample.txt)
    that has numerous variables or arrays in this format:
    &info=This is some information
    &stuff=This is more stuff
    &whatever=Even more stuff again....
    Anyway, I need to load a particular variable via individual
    buttons from this same sample.txt file into a dynamic text box
    (let's call it dynText), and I am a bit lost as to how to do it.
    Please provide me a solution thank you.
    Glenn

    Thank you very much, it's greatly appreciated. It worked
    perfectly except that it does not like variables that begin with
    numbers like:
    &401_2b=401_2b
    The above doesn't work, but if I do this...
    &h401_2b=401_2b
    Everything is fine. Problem being, I am generating the
    variables via PHP and therefore cannot "change" them. Can you
    provide me with a way that ActionScript can "see" the variable that
    starts with a numeric value? Thanks for your time.

  • 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?

    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! ^_^

  • Limit total value for dynamic text

    Hi,
    I've got two buttons: one which increases the value of a

  • Is there a way to list all the file names (automatically) in a folder to dynamic text box?

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether FLASH AS3 has some option to get all the files names from a folder specified and show it in a dynamic text box? Whenever some new files added to this folder it should update the list accordingly.
    Thanks for any information in this regard.

    Not particularly experienced in this field myself, but I've found its just easier to implement an XML file which lists the contents of the folder. It just means that when you upload a new file you have to add it to the list in the xml file also. No real hardship once you figure out the mechanics of it

  • How can I load a .TXT file into a dynamic text box?

    I am sure that many people know how to load a .txt file into

  • Accessing the value of a text box input

    how do i access the value of a text box on a jsp page..
    eg:if the page name is Test.jsp and it has a text box named text.....

    You're mixing JSP and JavaScript. If you're staying within the same page, e.g. no get/post to another JSP, and you need to update values of a text field within a form, use pure JavaScript, such as:
    <form name="fred">
    <input type="text" name="USERID" size="15" onBlur="document.fred.PASS.value=document.fred.USERID.value;"><br>
    <input type="text" name="PASS" size="15"><br>
    </form>
    This will change the value of the PASS field to the same as the USERID field, which is what I think you were trying to do.
    Not to be rude, but in the interest of keeping the Java forum pure, I would look towards a JavaScipt forum if you wish to use pure JavaScript (http://freewarejava.com/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=1&SUBMIT=Go)

  • Targeting Dynamic Text Box inside moviecip with variable

    Hi,
    How does one target a dynamic text box to change the border
    color inside of a movie clip? Example below which does not work
    theName = ("answerPrint" + arryCount);
    boxName = ("box" + (arryCount+1));
    _root.pagePrintPartA[theName][boxName].border = true;
    _root.pagePrintPartA[theName][boxName].borderColor =
    0x00cc66;

    Thanks for the reinforcement, but I should of indicated what
    was what:
    theName = ("answerPrint" + arryCount);// Name of Variable
    inside Dynamic Text Box Inside MovieClip
    boxName = ("box" + (arryCount+1));// Instance Name of Actual
    Dynamic Text Box Inside MovieClip
    _root.pagePrintPartA[theName][boxName].border = true;
    _root.pagePrintPartA[theName][boxName].borderColor =
    0xFF0000;
    By certifying this script you showed me wher I went wron (not
    seeing the forest from the trees). The last two lines should be:
    _root.pagePrintPartA[boxName].border = true;
    _root.pagePrintPartA[boxName].borderColor = 0xFF0000;
    I was targeting backwards. Thanks alot DazFaz.
