[RESOLVED] Duplicating Movie Clips Holding Dynamic Text Boxes
Hello :)
So, I've been working on a way to make a circular text effect like this...

...except with text that changes.
So, I've made a flash where you enter your name into a text box, and it takes your name and puts it into a circle like the above image. (I've done this by duplicating movie clips around a circle, each with one letter of the title.) So far, everything is working, except the duplicated movieclip-textboxes show no text. They are duplicating into a circle fine, but, for each box which should have one letter, nothing appears. Here's my code to show you how I did it.
First frame:
PHP Code:
i = 0;
cardname = " "+namey+" Didn't Playtest This At All •";//this is what will,
//overall be the circular text. "namey" is the name
//of the textbox with your name.
Second frame, which loops until "i" == the length of "cardname"
PHP Code:
er = i+1;
duplicateMovieClip(backletter, "backletter"+er, er);
i += 1;
The movieclip, "backletter", which holds "letterinside", a textbox, does this, on load (and everytime each duplicate loads).
PHP Code:
this.letterinside = substring(_root.cardname, _root.i, 1);
this._rotation += _root.i*360/(_root.cardname.length);
I have embedded the font into flash, so that can't be the problem.
Sorry if this is the most confusing explanation you've heard in your life, but I hope somebody can help? Thanks!
