Change text to show on interval

[capdetrons]

Hi,

I need some help trying to solve my problem creating different texts with a setInterval method:

this is my code:

can it possibly be applied to createTextField somehow?

var idioms:Array = ["cas_txt", "eng_txt", "fr_txt", "it_txt", "ger_txt"];

cas_txt = "Mi tierra, Catalunya \n mi parla, el catalán \n mi bandera, la Senyera \n y mi deseo, la libertad";
eng_txt = "Catalonia is my land \n catalan is my language \n the Senyera is my flag \n and freedom is my will";
fr_txt = "Mon pays, la Catalogne \n mon langue, le catalan \n mon drapeau, la Senyera \n et mon désir, la liberté";
it_txt = "Il mio paese, la Catalogna \n la mia lingua, il catalano \n la Senyera, la mia bandera\n e il mio desiderio, la libertÃ*";
ger_txt = "Mein Land, Katalonien \n mein sprache, katalonische \n meine Flagge, die Senyera \n und mein wunsch, die Freiheit";

var intervalID:Number;

var cat_txt:TextField = this.createTextField("cat_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 100, 800, 500);
cat_txt.text = "La meva terra, Catalunya\n la meva parla, el catalÃ* \n la meva bandera, la senyera \n el meu desig, la llibertat";
cat_txt.antiAliasType = "advanced";
cat_txt.embedFonts = true;
cat_txt.selectable = false;
cat_txt.multiline = true;
cat_txt.wordWrap = true;
cat_txt._rotation = -11;

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "Andalus";
// my_fmt.bold = true;
my_fmt.size = 8;
my_fmt.color = 0x000033;
// my_fmt.italic = true;
cat_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);

intervalId = setInterval(createTextField, 3000);

Hi there Cap,

do you mean different text inside the one textfield or different textfields

[capdetrons]

yes. Different texts from the var

Hi,

This should get you on the way Cap,

var idioms:Array = new Array();

idioms[0] = "La meva terra, Catalunya\n la meva parla, el catalÃ* \n la meva bandera, la senyera \n el meu desig, la llibertat";
idioms[1] = "Mi tierra, Catalunya \n mi parla, el catalán \n mi bandera, la Senyera \n y mi deseo, la libertad";
idioms[2] = "Catalonia is my land \n catalan is my language \n the Senyera is my flag \n and freedom is my will";
idioms[3] = "Mon pays, la Catalogne \n mon langue, le catalan \n mon drapeau, la Senyera \n et mon désir, la liberté";
idioms[4] = "Il mio paese, la Catalogna \n la mia lingua, il catalano \n la Senyera, la mia bandera\n e il mio desiderio, la libertÃ*";
idioms[5] = "Mein Land, Katalonien \n mein sprache, katalonische \n meine Flagge, die Senyera \n und mein wunsch, die Freiheit";

var intervalID:Number;
var i:Number = 0;

var cat_txt:TextField = this.createTextField("cat_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 100, 500, 10);
cat_txt.text = idioms[0];
cat_txt.antiAliasType = "advanced";
//cat_txt.embedFonts = true;
cat_txt.selectable = false;
cat_txt.multiline = true;
cat_txt.wordWrap = true;
cat_txt.autoSize = true;
//cat_txt._rotation = -11;

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
//my_fmt.font = "Andalus";
//my_fmt.bold = true;
my_fmt.size = 24;
my_fmt.color = 0x000033;
my_fmt.align = "left";
//my_fmt.italic = true;
cat_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);

intervalId = setInterval(swapText, 3000);

function swapText():Void
{
    i++;
    if (i >= idioms.length)
    {
        i = 0;
    }
    cat_txt.text = idioms[i];
    cat_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
}
