Dynamic txt and html

programming flash
1

I want to make a dynamic textbox with html, but the code is just written instead of being translated… Anyone know why?

2

u have to enable html 2 be used. it’s something like this:


lloadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("kirupa.txt");
loadText.html = yes;
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
		scroller.text = this.kirupatext;
};

I’m not really sure on this, but u can try it.

Nope… Nothing works… It just writes

<b>yadayada</b>

There’s a tutorial on the site (I think it’s in the ActionScript section though) for loading HTML files. Check there.

5

You sure?! I can’t find anything on html in a dynamic textbox…

6

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/changing_font.asp <-- this changes the font, but I’m sure it’s easy enough to change around for what you want

7 
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("kirupa.txt");
loadText.html = yes;
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
        scroller.html = true;
        scroller.htmlText = this.kirupatext;
};

You have to HTML enable your text box first.

It still won’t work! I have enabled html rendering! But it just does’nt work!

Well if you are using the code I posted in my last post, html text should be working fine and dandy.

Your font has to be bigger than size 11 on Verdana for the bold to show up I think.

10

Now nothing happens! The text between the tags does’nt even show up!

11

Dude, what tags are you using?

That definitely shouldn’t be happening.

12

Well just

<b>Something</b>

That’s the only html in there!

13

So inside your .txt file you have…


kirupatext= <B>something</B>
14

Yup! And nothing happens when I load the txt file…

15

You sure it is kirupatext= and not kirupatext = , that space makes all the difference.

16

None of them work…

17

Ah crap… I forgot to change something in my script…


loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("kirupa.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
        scroller.html = true;
        scroller.htmlText = this.kirupatext;
};

Now try that code.

18

Still does’nt work…

I tested the code. Works fine for me.

You are making sure that your font size is 11 or higher right?

Check my attachment to see what I did. Works great for me.

Something has to be wrong… Your fla works fine, but ours does not… Go figure…
