Tween changes dynamic text

I have a dynamic text which is subject of a motion tween. Before the tween starts I assign it a new text value. Now I noticed that at both the first and last keyframe of the tween the text value is reset to its design time value. Is there a way to avoid this, so that it retains the newly assigned value?
TIA
Steven

If you are tweening the textfield itself, you should find that it is now living inside a symbol (graphic) in your tween keyframes such that whatever code you assigned to the textfield before the tween doesn't affect the one that is involved with the tween.  Place the textfield inside a movielcip and tween the movieclip to get around this.

  • How to change dynamic text on mouse click of an object

    Here is my Project File.
    I'm wanting to change dynamic text when an object is clicked.
    I created 3 dynamic text boxes under "Selected Colors" and gave them instance names of selected_roof_color, selected_trim_color and selected_wall_color.
    When the user clicks a color (ie Arctic White) and then clicks say the roof, I want the "Selected Color" to display "Arctic White" to the right of "Roof:". 
    The colorable areas on the building have been given instances of roof, walls and trim.
    I used this tutorial to change in the textbox underneath the colors when you mouse over a color.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    My first button color is Arctic White and it has an instance of arcticwhite.
    The actionscript for the Arctic White Button is:
    on (release) {
        _root.fillColor = 0xf3f5f4;
        _root.brush.gotoAndStop(1);
    The roof button has an instance of selected_roof_color and my dynamic text field where I want "Arctic White" to appear is given an instance of selected_roof_text.
    Using your suggestion, my main Actionscript now has the following
    roof.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,roof);
    function roof(e:MouseEvent):void{
    selected_roof_text.text="roof";
    Looks like I've still got something incorrect as the selected_roof_text isn't changing when I click a color onto the roof.
    Can you explain what the F in "roofF" is?  Is that a typo?

  • Changing dynamic text colors ??

    In Flash 8, the dynamic text field instance name is
    energyLevel, as is the variable name associated with it. This
    field's text color was originally set to gold (outside of
    ActionScript). In the code, I'm trying to change it to red (without
    a condition at this point, just to see if it will work).
    In the code prior to the init function:
    energyLevel = 10;
    I've tried Option 1: >>>>>>>>>>
    newTextStyle = new TextFormat();
    newTextStyle.color = "0xFF0000";
    actor.onEnterFrame = function() {
    energyLevel.setTextFormat(newTextStyle);
    I've tried Option 2:
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    actor.onEnterFrame = function() {
    energyLevel.textColor = 0xFF0000;
    And, I've tried Option 3:
    >>>>>>>>>>>>
    actor.onEnterFrame = function() {
    _root.energyLevel.textColor = 0xFF0000;
    BUT, none work. This should be easy to do. Can anyone tell me
    what is wrong??
    Thanks!

    not exactly, read:
    HERE
    What if you are tracking a value that you don't want to
    display at the time, or want use it in other calculations. Also
    there are a few other ways to enter what you've got there, as in:
    amountLeftField.text -= AmountFraction*.332;
    amountLeftField.text *=.332;
    amountLeftField.text /=1.332;
    OR how about ...
    a_txt.text -= f*.332;
    Flash recognizes operations on a numerical value entry,
    performs the calc, and still displays as a String.
    Additionally, if you use the underscore with an extention
    name for instance naming as in 'my_txt', Flash will recognize the
    extention and bring up a list of methods, properties and event
    handlers related to the data type when you type 'dot' after, if you
    have the 'code hints' preference turned on. Same with _mc, _btn,
    _ldr, _ti, _cb, ... etc. good for learning, and as you type the
    next few characters of the prop, the list will highlight the prop,
    and you can hit 'enter' to complete the rest, handy.
    I'm not certain, but I believe that the TextField Var
    property has been eliminated entirely in AS3. (?)

  • Changing dynamic text

    Flash 8 actionscript 2.
    In scene 1. I have a layer containing and movie-clip
    (myannimation). Within this movie clip movie-clip (myannimation) I
    have a layer for actionscript where I want to change some dynamic
    text (myText) in a layer in scene 1.
    The text is dynamic and is called myText, I thought I would
    write in scene1-myanimation time line
    _root.mytext = "Some text". But this does not work. I am just
    learning AS and Flash.

    Thanks - I should have tried that if it had been VB... guess
    because I am working in ActionScript which is new my brain got
    turned off!
    I will try this. Thanks again.

  • Font dropdown to change dynamic text box?

    Hello, pretty new to Flex... well very! First Day! The MXML
    seems pretty simple enough but having some trouble i guess on the
    actionscript side! I want to create a very cut down version of a
    text editor. Very cut down! 2 textboxes one input the other
    dynamic... type some text in one it outputs to the other. Easy! but
    now i want to add a drop down with embeded fonts... ive embeded my
    fonts and there working fine. But i want to apply each font style
    to my options in the drop down (bit like the system fonts drop down
    examples you see) im making my combobox from an ArrayCollection
    with aload of Strings. i also want a function to change the font
    type on my dynamic textbox from a dropdown option click="" if that
    makes sense. Bit confused think i might b looking into it to
    deeply. Its just simple for a customized car license plate
    builder... i want them to have the ability to enter there
    registration and change the font and color etc. Can anyone point me
    or show me something im a bit flexed out... sure im being silly
    about this!
    Regards

    Check out your Text Frame Options - select the frame and go to Object>Text Frame Options
    Then go to the Baseline Tab
    Then check out the First Baseline Option - and turn on the preview to view your changes.
    That will give you the option to have X height, Cap Height, accent etc.
    If you want to get right out the edge of a frame on the left side then check out the Window>Types and Tables>Story and turn on optical alignment, that will allow punctuation to hang out side the text frame, not only that but the arms of "T" and letters like that will also extend past the frame edge, with a negative value.

  • How to dynamically change the text of a TextObject with embedded DataField?

    Hi
    I'm trying to dynamically change the text of a TextObject at runtime, by using the .NET library. My problem is that if one or more DatabaseFieldDefinition is embedded inside my text, I'm unable to change the "static text" only, by keeping the field, e.g. I have :
    Text1 => "Contact Name: {Contact.Name}"
    and I'd like to change it to anything else like:
    Text1 => "Nom du Contact: {Contact.Name}"
    Half of my TextObject is static text while second part comes from the dataset.
    (of course the translation is dynamic - it is called at run-time and the new value to be set depends on the calling application language)
    If I simply modify the Text property of my TextObject, the {Contact.Name} embedded field is not evaluated anymore by the Crystal Engine, but considered as a single text.
    Using formulas or parameters looks quite difficult, because it means having many ones just for translation needs - I cannot control the way my users will create their reports and "force them" to use complex methods just in order to put a text and a value together...
    Anyone knows how to deal with that ?

    Only way I can think of doing this:
    1) Create a formula (call it lang) and enter the string "Contact Name" in it
    2) Place the  {Contact.Name} field next to the string
    3) So now you have:
    ContactName:  {Contact.Name}
    4) Check what localization you are after. If you need "Nom du Contact", change the lang formula so it shows "Nom du Contact" using the code below:
    Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
    Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
    Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Dim Report As New CrystalReport1()
    Dim FormulaFields As FormulaFieldDefinitions
    Dim FormulaField As FormulaFieldDefinition
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    FormulaFields = Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields
    FormulaField = FormulaFields.Item(0)
    FormulaField.Text = "[formula text]"
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
    End Sub
    I realize this may not give you consistent spacing as the translations may have strings of differnt length. Perhaps someone has other idea(s)...

  • How to change the text of a user defined field in dynamic selections?

    Logical Database PSJ is used by t code CJI3 - we added a couple of user fields into the dynamic selections of CJI3.
    Now - how to change the text of this user filed (USR01 of structure PRSP_R in logical database PSJ)?
    Found an OSS note - 86980 - that tells that this is not possible.
    But when we read the documentation on the user field (CJI3 - dynamic selections  - double click on user field - F1), it shows the following text:
    User-defined field in which you can enter general information with a length of up to 20 characters.
    Dependencies
    The names (key words) for  user-defined fields depend on the field key.
    Now the question is where to change the field key..
    Thanks,

    Madhu - you did not get the question I think.
    Anyways - I found an OSS note 1266643 - this code change should take care of the issue - it will then reflect the details maintained in custoizng at transaction code OPS1..

  • How to change the text of label dynamically

    Hi all,
    I have done a dynpro program.It requires to implement the dynamically display the label text, for example: there is a label, sometimes, we want to display "Purchase Order" and sometimes we want to display "Sales Order". Can anyone tell me how to change the text of label according to my requirements? thanks in advance!

    Hi Wei,
    AS of now you will not be able to change the Text Field ( Label ) dynamically or at runtime. This is a limitation.Refer to this link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/2adbef449911d1949c0000e8353423/frameset.htm
    But, there is a way around.
    You can make a text field Visible / Invisible based on your program logic. So, based on what you want, you can process a module which will take care of that.
    Have a look at these DEMO Code. You can have a good idea to implement the logic.

  • How to change the text for the tabs of a tabstrip control dynamically

    Hi Guys,
        I am having two screens in a transaction.
    1. 1st screen has material number as an input and submit push button
    2. 2nd screen has two tabs in a tabstrip control.
        I want to display material description and plant number as heading for the two tabs based on the material number entered by the user in the 1st screen. Means i want to change the text dynamically. Is there any possible way? If it is there please help me. Very urgent...
    Thanks in advance
    James.

    Hi,
    If you set the "Output field" attribute for a pushbutton/tab, you can also set its text dynamically in the ABAP program. To do this, you must create a field in the ABAP program with the same name as the pushbutton/tab. You must then assign the required text to the field before the screen is displayed.
    For example define a global field in your program called MATNUM(20) and use this as the name for the material number tab on the tabstrip. Then you can assign a text MATNUM = 'Material Number' and this will appear as the tab title. Don;t forget to set the "Output field" attribute on the tab.
    Hope it helps

  • Dynamic text link hover color change.

    Disable the "Show border around text" option of your dynamic

    Draw a rectangle with the color you want, & locate it
    behind your dynamic text field.

  • Dynamic Text and changing Text in AS3

    I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library.  I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin'.  I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER.  I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want.  I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.  How can I :
    1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text
    2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
    function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void
    Mouse.cursor="button";
    //Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'
    //I want to change the color of Administartion on Mouse_Over
    //but to test if I can get to anything, I'm just trying to change the text.
    mcAdmin.text="Hello";
    trace(mcAdmin.text);
    mcPPMB.alpha=.5;
    mcASB.alpha=.5;
    mcISO.alpha=.5;
    mcEA.alpha=.5;
    mcAdmin.alpha=1;
    mcAdmin.scaleX=1.25;
    mcAdmin.scaleY=1.25;
    Thanks.

    1st
    give the textfield a name, if it hasn't already (sounds like you put it in a movieclip).
    to change the text set the text property of your text field
    like this
    myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text";
    or if it is inside a movieclip
    myClip_mc.myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text";
    To change the color you would need to put a TextFormat on it. To keep the same fontsize, font etc. you could first get the TextFormat from your existing Textfield, change the color of the TextFormat and set it on the TextField.
    // get the Textformat of the first character
                var TF:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat(0,1)
    // set the font color
                TF.color = 0xff0000;
    // put it on the whole text
                myTextField.setTextFormat(TF)

  • Dynamic text shifts when style changes

    I have some dynamic text fields that are set up so that when
    you rollover them (actually a button behind them), their formatting
    changes. This is done with some basic actionscripting, setting up 2
    different text format variables and attaching one or the other to
    the text field when a button is rolled over. The only thing that
    changes is color. When the text first appears all is well. But when
    you rollover the text and the color changes, on certain browsers an
    extra space can get inserted at the beginning of a new line, sort
    of like the old bug where text wrapping messes up and moves a space
    down to the beginning of a line. This happens on IE 6 and 7 and
    Safari, not Firefox. The player is 9. THanks.

    Did not, I was happier with the browser's display than with
    the embedded font version. May try it just to see if problem
    remains. Seems like something I should be able to avoid without
    having to embed though.

  • Dynamic Text and color changes......

    In some cheap website creating software I have you can turn
    text into rich text and change the color of individual words inside
    the same text box full of text. Is there anyway to do that in flash
    CS3?

    Thanks clbeech I actually found an easy way to do it. For
    your dynamic text box you can click the "html" box in the
    properties window for that text box. (Its a little square box with
    this <> inside it and its just to the right of the singleline
    and multiline box drop down.) You can then select the text you want
    to edit inside the text box and change its font/size/color as well
    as turn it into a dynamic link and it will do so without affecting
    the rest of the text in your text box.
