Hi,
I am working on a Flash chat application and have been asked to include
hyperlinks in the scroll pane and am a little buggered at the moment. I
have looked at this tutorial example and done exactly what it says but it
does not seem to work:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/scrolling_text_mx.htm
For example, I have this textfile named kirupa.txt with the following
content:
kirupatext=
Hello There!
I am an <font color=red >example </font > of text that has been loaded from a
separate location on
I am an <a href=http://www.google.com target=_blank >example </a > of text that
has been loaded from a separate location on kirupa 's server.
The scroll pane has an instance name of 'scroller ', is set to multiline, and
has the following actionscript:
//Create a new instance of the loadVars object and assign it to a variable
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load( "kirupa.txt ");
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:
loadVarsText.onLoad = function (success){
if (success){
trace ( "done loading ");
//Now that we know the data is loaded,
//set the text content of the Text Field
//with the instance name "scroller " equal to the
//contents of the variable
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.kirupatext;
}else{
trace ( "not loaded ");
}
}
When I execute the FLA I get this in the scroll window:
Hello There!
I am an
Would appreciate any ideas why this is not working? The main objective is
to get users in the chat to have clickable hyperlinks.
Oh, and if anybody is wondering, I am using Flash MX.
Thanks in advance,
