Hi,

I'm trying to load text into a dynamic text box from a button.

on (release) {
_root.container2.galleryBox.loadMovie("gallery/pic1.swf", galleryBox, 2);
_level0.titlebmcc.text("Home For The holidays");
}

I thought all it was to find the path and then add .text("The text you want inside");

Thanks in advance

try assigning .text to a string instead

on (release) {
_root.container2.galleryBox.loadMovie("gallery/pic1.swf", galleryBox, 2);
_level0.titlebmcc.text = "Home For The holidays";
}

theRemix is correct. text is a property of the TextField class, rather than a function.

Thanks Guys,

Do you also know a way to do wordwrap. So that If I load a bunch of text it just doesn't continue off the screen forever?

I tried multiline but it didn't seem to work. Am I mising something.

Thanks

When creating your textfield, rather than simply clicking, click and drag a box around the area you want text. You will then be able to drag it to whatever size you want. .. If you've already created the fields, then you can convert them by clicking on the shape (square or circle) in the top-right corner of it (when the text is selected). It's been a while since I've converted any fields, so I don't recall if any hotkeys need to be held while clicking.

Once you've got a resizeable field, you will also be able to control it's size numerically from within the Properties pane.
