I’m having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
This works:
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#808080]//set font with TextFormat[/COLOR]
myFormat=[COLOR=#000000]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]TextFormat[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]align[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“left”[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]color[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“0xFF3300”[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]font[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“MyriadProBoldCon”[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]size[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#000080]25[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#808080]//create text field[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]createTextField[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]“timText”[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]10[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]10[/COLOR], [COLOR=#0000FF]Stage[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]width[/COLOR],[COLOR=#000080]40[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“I declare a truce for robot juice”[/COLOR];
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]embedFonts[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#000000]true[/COLOR];
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]setTextFormat[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]
but this doesn’t:
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#808080]//set font with TextFormat[/COLOR]
myFormat = [COLOR=#000000]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]TextFormat[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]align[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#FF0000]“center”[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]color[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#FF0000]“0xFF3300”[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]font[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#FF0000]“MyriadProBoldCon”[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]size[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000080]25[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#808080]//create text field; text shows up right now[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]createTextField[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]“timText”[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]0[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]10[/COLOR], [COLOR=#0000FF]Stage[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]width[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]40[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#FF0000]“I declare a truce for robot juice.”[/COLOR];
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]embedFonts[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]true[/COLOR];
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]setTextFormat[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#808080]//but click a button, and the text disappears and is not replaced!!![/COLOR]
btn1.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“Breakfast is served all day in Hell!”[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR];
btn2.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“We prefer to be called Buccaneer-Americans.”[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR];
btn3.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
timText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#FF0000]“It’s fun to use learning for evil!”[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR];
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]
I’ve tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that’s called on the onRelease handler. I’ve tried dropping the whole frackin’ code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works.
I’ve been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance!
