Is it that nothing appears in your textfield or that the html code is displayed instead of the link?

Nonsense. Of course gotoAndPlay() works. :)

I'm going to ask the obvious: Are you sure there isn't any stop actions on your car movieclip's timeline that are getting in the way?

Try tracing the...

If anyone else is interested here is a PHP website that will automatically convert your text to unicode (and about 5 other codes). It adds about 70% to the txt file size when you copy it back over,...

Alright, thanks for the links.

Tah, man.

You wouldn't have any idea as to why it's doing this, would you? I don't really want to have to substitute all the instances of these characters for their code. I think it may have...

Awesome, Silentweed.

I've not tested your suggestion yet, but I've been looking around all day for a list of those alternative ways of writing symbols. You wouldn't happen to have a link or a...

No problem, I knew we'd get there in the end. ;)

*groan* It's clearly not my day, today. Remove the period and run the script again, it'll fix that error, at least. We'll work from there. :P

Edit: Make sure you do it for the trace action as well.

No problem. www.actionscript.org and www.kirupa.com are both great resources. You should always check there and run a google search for tutorials on what you want before hitting the forums. I can...

Right, I think I understand what you're trying to do now.

my_lv.TB[ i] actually creates an array. What you want is my_lv.["TB"+i]. Try this:

var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

for(i=0; i...

Half the battle here is finding a server that supports php and offers you a MySQL database, or installing it all on your own machine to test it. If, however, you've managed to do this alright here...

The best way to create any slideshow in flash is to do so with XML or php. I would recommend XML because it is much quicker to get the hang of than learning php and doesn't php to be enabled on your...

:) I don't know what I was thinking when I typed the above. I guess I'm a little pre-occupied with my own project. The square brackets are not even required in this case. Try this:

var...

Try this:



var my_lv = new LoadVars();

for(i=0; i < 10; i++){
my_lv.TB[i] = ["TextBox." +i].text;
}

Bump, again.

Bump ;)

Thanks for the reply, clamchess.

It seems escaping the character hasn't helped. It just diplays the backslash instead.

I've also done some playing around since I posted this thread and no...

I'm loading text into a textfield from an external .txt file and it works nicely. Only, a box displays instead of the '-' character. Whenever I try to embed the textfield, the text dissappears...

Oh, of course. :)

Thanks a lot, silentweed.

A quick question; why do the help files place some parameters in square brackets?

For example:


Although it's not vital to my understanding of Actionscript, I've always wondered and never been...

Does the text work locally using Internet Explorer to view the swf?

Here's a link to the fix I was talking about, or here is another method

How are you loading your text? From an external file?

Yeah, I managed to find the code and edited my previous post; obviously not in time. Thanks again, this will definately come in handy.

Viewing your site with IE 7.0.57, you have to click on the...

Ta for the .fla file. I can't find the appropriate code - all I can find is the movieclip you duplicate, not the code you used. But it works correctly when I compile it to a swf, so it must be there...

Hey, man.

I took a look at your site using FireFox 1.5.0.9 and it seems to be working fine.

Nice affect with the cursor spewing out letters. I've spent the better part of the day trying to...
