Text in my flash ad is editable, how to lock it?

Hey,
I have made a simple flash ad with Adobe Flash CS4. I have placed my animations and my text in it, however I found that when I will move mouse over text in this ad, coursor changes just as it would be some text written in html. Too bad when you will click on this text you can edit it! I was able to delete all my text and insert something different easily. Why is it happening? How can I lock it?
(Yes this takes place in published swf file)
Thanks you for any help, this is driving me crazy as I can't find this by myself.

Change your textfiled property from property panel from input to dynamic textfield and set selection to off

    I don't need to see it to understand what you have done. You have used an input textfield instead of a static textfield, so that will disable to the option to make it selectable (because it is an input textfield it has to be selectable).
    To change the textfield, click it once on the stage to select it, and then in the Properties panel change it from an input textfield to a static textfield.  You should see a drop down for making the selection.

  • Text exported using flash createJS Toolkit - embedding fonts, @fontface?

    Hi,
    A text box in flash contained in a movieclip "MyTxt_mc" exported as per createJS toolkit results in lines in CreateJS script as :
    (lib.MyTxt_mc = function()
    { this.initialize();
    //text
    this.MyTxt_txt = new cjs.Text("The actual text", "30px Arial");
    this.MyTxt_txt.textAlign = "center";
    this.MyTxt_txt.lineHeight = 32;
    this.MyTxt_txt.lineWidth = 205;
    this.MyTxt_txt.setTransform(102.5,0);
    this.addChild(this.MyTxt_txt,this.shape);
    Is there a way to insert getting web fonts from online libraries or from a font file held on the server? As I wish to use other than Arial or default device fonts.
    I've read up about @fontface, but that's a little puzzling as to how to apply it to the flash - html5 output.
    Help for how to / best approach and exact syntax would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Steve

    Tried replacing the Arrial Narrow font with a different one
    from another coworker. Still no dice.
    Tried repairing permissions. Nope
    Tried making a new user and checking it there. Nope.
    Moved the font from my Library to the system wide library.
    Bupkiss. (Is that how it is spelled?)

  • High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP

    I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I  could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I  could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
    //php filewriter
    var myLV = new LoadVars();
    function sendData() {
    //sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
    myLV.hsdata = myText;
    myLV.send("hiscores.php");
    I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
    <?php
    //assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
    $flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
    //file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
    $fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
    //adds data to file
    fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
    //closes file
    fclose ($fh);
    echo 'php file is working';
    ?>
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.

    Thanks for your help.
    I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
    var outLV = new LoadVars();
    var inLV = new LoadVars();
    function sendData() {
    outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
    outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
    inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
      //sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
      statusTxt.text = phpmess;
    } else {
      statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
    This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
    <?php
    $mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
    $myfile = "test23.txt";
    $fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
    //adds data to file
    fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
    //closes file
    fclose ($fh);
    $mess = "hello there from php";
    echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
    ?>
    The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Substituting a graphic for text in a Flash header

    I am using a simple Flash program with 4 lines of text -- the
    final line being a company name -- for the header of a website. The
    program works great. Current the text is dynamic with the text held
    in a flash.txt file linked to the flash.fla file.
    In place of the final line of text in the program, I would
    like to substitute a graphic logo. The graphic I want to use
    instead of text is basically the same size as the text. And I I
    don;t need to change the animation text. I just want to be able to
    use the graphic instead of the simple text. Is there is a simple,
    easy way to substitute the graphic flie (say, a gif, or png file)
    to the text in the flash program? I am assuming that this should be
    easy, but I can't figure out howto do this (yes, I am relatively
    new at this). Can anyone give me any suggestions, clues, or insight
    into how to do this? Thanks very much for you help.
    Thanks.

    Image,
    Instead of entering a 1 for the grade, why not enter the date. Then instead of adding 1's to get the level, use COUNT(E1:I1). Condition your cell fill to "not equal to 0" and leave the text option unchecked. That way the date will show through the background.

  • Loading text file with flash lite 3.0 problem

    Hello,
    I recently ran into a problem with loading a plain text file with Flash Lite 3.0.
    I know there is a way to load name/value pairs using LoadVars class or XML file using XML class. Both methods work great, but these classes parse the data loaded and I need to load just a plain text - no pairs or xml structure. (its because Im loading specific file format, so I can't make any changes to it)
    There is a simple way how to achieve this in Flash using Actionscript 2 by extending the LoadVars class and overriding the onData() method. I used it plenty of times and it works fine.
    There is an example of implementation:
    // the PlainData.as file
    class PlainData extends LoadVars {
        function onData(str) {
            trace(str)
            this.onLoad(true);
    // now in the main file
    var my_data:PlainData = new PlainData();
    my_data.load("my3dmodel.obj");
    This code traces unchanged content of my3dmodel.obj file.
    The problem comes when I try to run this code using Flash Lite 3.0. The code stops working just by changing player version in publish settings to Flash Lite 3.0. It doesnt display any error, but also doesnt trace any content.
    Is there a reason why you cant override onData method in LoadVars class in lite version of flash or am I doing something wrong?
    (also overriding onLoad() method works fine in Flash Lite)

  • Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text field in Flash

    Yes, <sub> & <sup> tags are not supported by
    Flash but you can
    use Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text
    field in Flash:
    Download & install Subscript & Superscript fonts
    from
    http://www.subscriptfont.com
    or
    http://www.superscriptfont.com
    You will need to restart Flash software after installed
    fonts.
    Create a dynamic text field with Arial font embeded. Set the
    HTML property to true.
    Create a dynamic text field with Subscript font embeded.
    Create a dynamic text field with Superscript font embeded.
    Use HTML tag to set text to subscript or superscript like
    below:
    Some text<font face="Superscript">©</font>
    If you are using ActionScript to test the htmlText, use
    script like below:
    my_txt.htmlText = "Some text<font
    face='Superscript'>TM</font>";
    They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline
    and it's real subscript..

    Hi Nirnalatha,
    I have newly joined this forum and while going through the
    posts I came across your post which I thought I could help out. But
    I think I am too late for the reply.
    I am also into Flashlite development couple of months from
    now. Coming to your questions:
    1. Textbox problem: I am surprised to know that E70 mobiles
    (Device central list has E70-1 only) does not show input text box
    when cursor is in input box. Anyways its a good thing that you dont
    get an additonal input box. Like all J2ME applications you will be
    able to type the text inline. Infact we had reverse problem where I
    was told to create inline edit input box instead of flashlite input
    box. I think this is the mobile setting. Check the device features
    in the Adobe Device Central under Flash - Standalone player - Text
    and Fonts features. It will be mentioned whether inline text is
    allowed or not.
    2. Soft keys issues: You need to use
    fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Previous", "Next");
    and use a key listener in order to override the Mobile
    Softkey commands. Check out the flashlite help which clearly
    explains this.
    Hope I have given youa way to solve ur problem.

  • Alt hover text for a Flash animation?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add alt text to a Flash animation so that
    when a user
    hovers over the animation, text appears in the same way it
    does for images?
    Thanks.
    Nath.

    Thanks Fel_911,
    I'm very new to Flash. Is there an easy tutorial on creating
    the dynamic
    text that follows the mouse?
    I already have a Flash animation created which is simply a
    series of 3 fade
    in/fade out images. Do I just add in a background layer,
    under my 3
    fade-in/fade-out images and create a mouse-over effect for
    that background?
    How does the text display? Should the text be part of the
    animation,
    perhaps as a symbol that appears on mouse-over?
    Thanks again for your advice,
    Regards
    Nath.

    i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

    You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone.  That's relatively easy.  Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one.  For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.
