The Dynamic Text can be added when using Premium catalog, which contains dozens of exquisite photo flash templates. As for the Dynamic text, you can add whatever you want to add; it provides abundant font and style for the text, as well as rich dynamic text effects, such as swing, throw, fade in and out, etc. This one covers the creation of dynamic text visuals. I'll go explain how to tap into the 'statement' variable within Flash so you can create your own text based clips. I'll also touch on the 'duration' and 'position' variables, which if used properly, allow playback speed adjustment of code based animations. Create a dynamic text field to cover 90% of the stage (722 X500). Give the text field an instance name of infoText. Now grab the scroll bar comment (WindowComponentUIScrollBar) add this component to the right of the text field, give it a height of 500, and an instance name of scrollingText. To write on a new line, simply use the, for example root.mytext.text = 'Hello World Line 2'. 3) Don't make it selectable. This is a very common mistake in almost all cases you don't need selectable text. The problem is Flash sets a dynamic text to be selectable by default. This is the result I am showing you the issue on a game.

Using Dynamic Text in Flash Professional 8[edit]

Dynamic text fields are updated or changed at runtime via an outside source such as a text file. Instead of ‘text boxes', the dynamic text area is called a ‘field.' The area of the field is defined by the author of the movie. Using ActionScript, text is called from an outside source and is inserted into the field during run time. These outside sources can include databases, server-side applications, other flash movies, or text files. Creating a dynamic text field works the same way as a static text box except that the expanding or fixed width indicator is in the lower right corner instead of the upper right. Dynamic text fields can be set to scroll. When the text field is full and set to scroll, the width handle indicator changes from white to black.

Flash Dynamic Text Tutorial


There are certain limitations on the appearance of dynamic text. Text in a dynamic text box cannot be skewed, kerned, tracked, rotated, or use vertical type at author time. However, because dynamic text fields are allowed to have instance names, ActionScript can be applied to help control its appearance.
