RE: FLASH: Textfield problems

[Paul Franks]

Hi John,

I may be a little confused here.

These text files that you have, are the contents to be used in text fields

in a movie as descriptions of a picture?

If they are, you don't need to worry about the spaces.

http://www.virtual-fx.net/tutorials/html/loadtextfile.htm

has a tutorial about loading text files and displaying them in a movie.

You only need to add + if it is being passed in a URL.


If I've got it all wrong, let me know.


Paul

Paul, thank you thank you thank you...


 ok, now there is a new problem... The specific use of this, is an offline

"application" of sorts... i built a little "mini-app" so that i could

quickly

and easily create a bunch of txt files that will all have the same vield

names in them... (they will be called as descriptions to pictures)...

Anyway,

is there a way for this "+" thing to be completed automatically, so that i

do

not have to manually type in the + each time i want a space? some thing

like:


Eval "TextField5"

    if "any character" = "<space>"

        set variable "<space>" = "+"


or something like that.... i don't know actionscripting too overly well, so

i

have no idea how to write this, but i am hoping that someone out there knows

this, so i don't have to reach up and hit the + sign every time i want a

space.


P.S. no server, no other scripting environments.... just creating txt files,

for a CD.


Regards,
