Variable won't attach correctly to dynamic text string

mcWinScreen.songNameTxt.text = songName;
var accuracyPercent:Number = Math.floor(((numberHit / songTotal) * 100));
var missedMath:Number = (songTotal - numberHit);
trace(accuracyPercent);
trace(missedMath);
mcWinScreen.missedTxt.text = 'Missed: ' + missedMath;
mcWinScreen.accTxt.text = 'Accuracy: ' + accuracyPercent + '%';
mcWinScreen.hitTxt.text = 'Hit: ' + numberHit;
The numberHit var displays fine without any problems.
accuracyPercent & missedMath trace fine but don't display in the dynamic text field.
Any ideas?
John

While assigning to the text field try casting the Number typed variables to String or use toString() method of Number class.
I.e.
mcWinScreen.missedTxt.text = 'Missed: ' + String(missedMath);
or
mcWinScreen.missedTxt.text = 'Missed: ' + missedMath.toString();

How do I make dynamic text look static while the HMTL tagging is enabled?

Hi all,
I am using flash 8 with AS 2.0.
I have a dynamic text field where I am setting it's text value through a variable. Now, I need this dynamic text field content to look like static font on runtime. I tried embedding the text field but that makes my file so heavy and most importantly, it disables the HTML tagging on the text field.
Please suggest me on how to make a dynamic text field content look static on runtime while the HTML tagging is enabled and working fine.
Thanks.

I am sorry. But the attachment was not intended for what you
thought my friend.
It was there so that there are no confusions for what I mean by look of dynamic and static text fields.

Refresh dynamic text of decision step in UWL

Hi Experts,
I have a custom decision task with a dynamic title that is send to the approvers (could be multiple) for processing from UWL.
The text ís : "User &1 raised a leave request for the date &2. Approval needed."
Where &1 is the user initiating the workflow and &2 is the date for which the leave request is raised.
The decision step is shown correctly for all the approvers in the UWL.
Problem:
The user has an option to change the date on which he wants to apply the leave, before the decision step is acted upon by any of the approvers.
in such scenarios, though the workflow containers are updating correctly, the dynamic text shown in the UWL still shows the old date.
Can you please let me know if there is any way of 'refreshing' the text of the decision step that is already displayed in UWL so that it always shows the correct date.
Thanks,
Cay.

Hi,
There are two thing you need to do.
First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
Thanks and ragards,

Dynamic text box and minus variable?

I have a text box with dynamic text set to display p variable but when the variable goes < 0 it only displays a '-'.
im using:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
p = my_object._x;
How can I correct this? Also another question with 'my_object._x' it returns the x coord relative to the movie clip it is in. How do I get the position relative to the 0,0 (top left corner)?
I've been learning Flash for 2 days so sorry if the questions sound simple. I have tried googling these.

for the textfield question....
I'm not too sure about that... it could be related to the width of the textfield, or maybe a maxChars setting on the textfield....not really sure sorry. Someone else may have an answer....
for the other question...
getRect() gives you the bounding box (without stroke width, use getBounds() if you want bounds outside the stroke width)
try
var geometricBounds = my_object.getRect();
trace(geometricBounds.xMin+","+geometricBounds.yMin)

Dynamic text won't display

I don't know if this is a bug. I have a movie that contains a
dynamic text. When I run it, the text displays fine. But when the
said movie is run through another movie clip (using loadMovie), the
dynamic text won't display. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Than again, it's a bug on your end :)
Dynamic text is a text container, it's to be use with
dynamically given data, from
source file or variable string on timeline. It's not meant to
be for regular text
display. You need to use Static text. The fact that you can
see it it's just flash
being tolerant but it only lasts for as long as the movie is
getting more complex.
You can get away with somethings even tho you should not be
using them, does not
mean they will work all the way. Dynamic text, as said above
is for text that comes
to flash from outside source and this is when it works best.

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.

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

Create a Link using Dynamic Text and Capture Variable

I am building a dynamic website using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion 9
Currently I have created a dynamic text table. The table is created by querying the Invoice table and displays the all the customers Invoices. The columns Include Invoice #, Date, Amount Paid, BalanceRemaining, Due Date. So basically lists all the invoices I have applied to the unique customer. It is pulled up using a session variable I created from the login page.
My question is this I want to make the "Invoice #" linked so when you click on it it goes to a new page and performs a new query which retrieves infro related to that specific invoice such as Services Rendered, Service Description, Date, Price, Total. I was able to create a link to the Invoice # but I am stuck trying to figure out how to capture the Unique Invoice # and apply it to the new query. Is this possible if so how?
Thanks for your help!

Now keep in mind I am speaking strictly from a web and SQL standpoint as I have no experience with coldfusion.
If you are able to create the link to the Invoice, I am perceiving this as the following:
Invoice
Links to
#123
page.php?invoice=123
#345
page.php?invoice=345
If your page is setup like that then you already have the data stored in the browser request with the GET method. In PHP the equivalent is the $_GET array. I am assuming ColdFusion has a similar array to work with forms. Then on your following page you obviously need to check that the visitor came from the prior page with the proper permissions to ensure that someone doesn't get the address page.php?invoice=### and just guesses through and views all invoices if they are not supposed to. Then your query would look something like the following:
SELECT * FROM invoice_table WHERE invoice_number = $_GET['invoice']
Remember this in written in PHP so yours should be a similar equivalent.
Hopefully this helps a little to get you going in the right direction.

Dynamic Text Box Variables

Hi,
At the moment im using the variable option of a dynamic text
box to load text. The variable is loaded into the swf via an
external htm file that has multiple variables in it (i dunno if
that makes sense but you know how you can load in a set of
variables from an html like eg. down below):
Anyway, now i want to have 10 different movie clips that act
as buttons, so that when they are clicked, they change the variable
of the dynamic text box soo it loads a different section of text
from the html file. I have tried the .variable property of the text
box but still no luck. I looked at another thread else where but i
dont understand exactly how they are changing it there. I'll copy
in the link anyway just incase it helps or someone can explain what
they are doing. Can anyone help me with this??
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers

Using alerts with variables-"dynamic text" not working

Hello all,
I'm triggering an alert from a BPM, and have set the flag "dynamic text" on for the alert category associated with it. I'm doing it in a similar way to the blog 1382 by Michal:
[/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated|/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated]
The only difference is that I'm just assigning a fixed text instead of a payload element to the container element, which I've defined as simple type - string.
However, the text of the alert doesn't show anything. I'm getting an email with just "Process <id>" as the subject and "Alert ID: <number>" in the body of the email (the same in the Alert Inbox).
I'm starting to think that there could be something wrong in PI 7.1 which I'm using, as I've configured other alerts in scenarios without BPM without problem.
Thanks for your suggestions!

I've solved it using an alert from the Enterprise Services Builder (Integration Repository). It's a new feature in PI 7.1. It seems the tab "Container" in the alert category didn't exist before (that's why you don't find it in the weblogs of Michal and others) and now you have to use it.

Added dynamic text; How do I stop variable name from showing?

I am creating a simple game for kids. On the first page, I added an "input text" field for their first name. I called the variable firstname.
When they move to the next page, I used a "dyanamic text" field so I can call them by name on this page. It works. However, When I test the game, on the first page, where the firstname is input, it shows _level0.firstname instead of just a blank space for them to input their name.
I know I fixed this in the past and it was something simple, but I can't remember how to do it. I'd appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Beginning with Flash MX (version 6), you assign the text field an instance name using the Property inspector. Although you can use the variable name method with dynamic text fields for backwards compatibility to Flash 5 and earlier versions, Macromedia doesn't recommend this, because you can't control other text field properties, or apply style sheet settings

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.

HTML links won't display in Dynamic Text Field

I am loading external text files in dynamic text fields on my
webage. These texts contain html links (<a href="page.html"
target="_blank">Click Here</a> and I have "render as HTML"
on and "selectable" off in my dynamic text field. Also, I am
loading a CSS file. Not only do I not have a hand cursor, but I do
not even have any of the text from that piece of html code down.
What is going on with this? Please respond asap, as I have been
struggling with this for a day now. Here is the Actionscript for
loading the CSS:
var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("styles.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
} else {
trace("Error loading CSS file.");
var zloc_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
zloc_lv.load("zloc.txt");
zloc_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
} else {
trace("unable to load text file.");
zloc_txt.html = true;
zloc_txt.editable = false;
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("backgroundColor" ,
"transparent");
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("border styles" , "solid");
Here is a sample of the text file code:
&content=<span class="headline">Northwest Arkansas
Locations</span>
121 Main St.
Russellville, AK 77801
(626) 111-1111<br />
<html><a href="
http://www.mapquest.com"
target="_blank">Click Here for Driving
Directions</a></html><br />
Thanks for the help,
Chuck

The error is here:
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
Even if you rendered the textfield as HTML, you still need to
tell flash that the variable you are inserting is HTML. Therefore
you need to use the htmlText property.
zloc_txt.htmlText = this.content;

Iterate through all dynamic text variables

Hello,
I'd like to be able to iterate through all of the dynamic
text variables in my flash movie, and I'd like it so that if I add
new text to this movie, it will show up in the iteration.
Essentially, I want to do something like this:
for (i in _root) {
trace(i);
While this seems to print out all the variables in root, it
prints more than just the dynamic text variables, and also doesn't
iterate down through various objects to find the dynamic text
variable.
Is there any way I can accomplish this in action script?
Thanks!

Great! That code helps me a lot.
There are still two weird issues.
1) the test for tl[obj].text seems to always turn out to be
false. However, if I trace the value of text, I'll see the text.
Example:
trace(tl[obj].text); // This will display the value in the
text field
if (tl[obj].text) // This is always returning false.
Any ideas?
The 2nd issue might be more difficult - some of my text
objects don't appear until later in the movie (i.e. frame 10). It
sort of looks like this looping doesn't see objects that appear in
the future. Do I need to advance the frame 1 by 1 and repeat this
looping process until the text appears? Maybe instead I can always
have the text in the first frame, but have it be invisible or
something?

Dynamic Text won't Print - Ahhhh! Help!!!

I'm importing a png file using an xml file and a text file
for importing text. The image and text show up fine, but when I
PRINT, both don't show up. I"VE GOT TO GO LIVE WITH THIS TODAY. It
has to Print! PLEASE HELP!

I found my own answer and thought I should share it with all
of you. Since I was so surprised that you had to use ActionScript
to tell the movie to allow dynamic text or a dynamic png files to
print. You basically add the following lines for each instance of
dyanmica text or for a movie clip. I was alos using a prebuilt
component, so I had to give this component an instance name.
function printpic(){
print(this.pic, "bframe");
I called the function printpic just to stay in alignment with
the instance name of the movie clip on the stage which was pic.
Then everything printed like it was suppose to.
