I'm beginner in flash. I created a text from the text_tool in flash. I set the instance name 'mytext' and text type to dynamic. Now I want to change the text on run time. For example: current text is 'hello world' now when I run the flash file I want to change the text to 'any random text'. So I used following code for this. mytext.text = 'any random text'; but on the run time I could see any text. Please help me how to change its text?
Thank you

There could be multiple reasons for that, Please check for the following:

  • If there are multiple frames on your timeline and your TextField is extended all over those frames then make sure you have provided the instance name to your TextField on all the KeyFrames on the timeline.

  • If you are using some fancy Fonts, try embedding the fonts, at times non-embedded Fonts create this problem.

for addition, you can use

your textfield.appendText();

good luck for your work :)
