I have a large quantity of sounds I want to trigger through buttons in Flash. Rather than put text for name of each sound on every button, I was wondering if it's possible to write code on the button with a dynamic text box to inherit the file name of the sound but omit the .mp3 file ending. Is this possible?
P.S. I'm a noob at Actionscript so please bear with me.

if I make a dynamic text on the stage, name it something like "output"
And I write in the enterframe.
output.text = "Something";
It doesn't even show up in the stage, and the text box is blank.
You have to embed the fonts in dynamic textfield. You can find detailed information regarding embedding fonts in here. It's bit old but it will work.
We are using the swiffy converter to convert our math flash programs to HTML5.
Problem is, a lot of our programs have input fields that are not converted by Swiffy. The error message is:
Input text is not supported. (2 occurrences)
Now we try to find a workaround to setup things in Flash so that the conversion works including the input fields.
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks in advance.
One thing you might do is to convert the input text fields to dynamic text fields, then create buttons that fill out these text fields. I tried it and it worked. Considering it is a math app, you might want to create a keypad that sends the numbers to these text fields and a clear button to allow users to delete incorrect entries. It might seem like a lot of work for a simple event, but this is only until Swiffy converts input text
Best wishes
//assuming you have a dynamic text field on stage named 'inputIN_txt' and a button named 'inputBtn'
inputBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onInputData)
function onInputData(e:Event): void{
inputIN_txt.text="Hello, Swiffy"
}
I am trying to build a Flash application which would display data from a external source and scroll it from left to right.
I am new to action script world, i have found an example in which text is scrolling but here there is only one text field. I would like to have multiple text field depending upon my data loaded from external source. How can i achieve it. Do i need to create 10 text fields if my external data returns 10 records.
Any advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks
It depends on your task, if you need 10 lines of text information that moves independently, so you will need 10 text fields. Or you could scroll one text field and change it's content with a new information (next record). For scrolling of the text field you will need Timer or Enter frame handler or Tweening engine, as for changing text you will need some logic, like if text goes offscreen - show another text data.
For me, your question looks very similar to this one, check it, maybe it will be helpful for you.
This is my first post and is probably really dumb.
I have a single-frame actionscript-3 fla file. When my movie clip is clicked, it fills in a dynamic text field with randomly generated text. (Basically, it's an insult button.) It only works the first time, though. How do I make it refresh the text on each click?
If the TextField is generated programmatically you should try re-applying the TextFormat. I find I have to do this for AS generated TextFields when I update the text.
I had a situation like.... I need to save a text area field in the form of .text file automatically when ever the text area is changed/edited. Please some one help me.
Thanks in advance
In a Flex TextInput or TextArea you can use the change event to detect when something has changed. So, you'll probably want to use that to trigger your "save this text" code.
If you want to save things as a file on the server, then you can use that change event to trigger your service.
If you want to save things on the client machine, you may have more difficulty.
If you're dealing with an AIR application, you can save the file locally using the File class.
In a browser based app; you cannot save files without user input. So the location, and filename of the file is beyond your control. Accessing that file at some future point also requires user input.
You may be able to store the value as a shared object, which is in essence the Flex version of a cookie.
