Okay, I have seriously psychologically abused my computer for the last 4 hours, I have cursed the creators of all software everywhere, I have begged for the world to end rather than leave me in this infuriating mess. Nothing made any difference so I am coming to you good people at kirupa.com
I am loading external variables into a textbox in flash.
First things first, I know my general method is fine as I can view the text without embeding it, but only if I dispense with the masks I want to use.
Without masks and without embedding the text shows up. Without masks and withembedding the text does not show. If I click and drag over the apparently empty text box, copy and paste into notepad, the text does show up in notepad, so it must be there, just not readable.
at the moment, the text it is having to load is simply ‘blob’. I have tried different embedding options from just embedding lowercase to embedding all and nothing makes any difference.
Can anyone help me the code I am using is below.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.load(file);
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
txtbx.text = my_lv.forflash;
};
where file is a variable set in the frame and forflash is the variable fed to flash and txtbx is the text box
I can’t really see it being an issue with my code cos the text does load, it just doesn’t show when embedded.
Oh 1 more piece of information is that when embedded the scrollbar doesn’t -update - no up/down buttons and no draggable scroller. When not embedded the scrollbar does update.
If anyone can suggest anything that I might have missed I would be **beyond **grateful.
Many thanks in advance
