flash actionscript:
At the moment I know how to enter data from a text file into a flash file, for
example this is my 'monday.txt' file (a cut down version)
"AK2~Hairdressing Level 2 Year 2 Of 2","HDRN2AK2-2B1FA","12:30","14:30"," 10/
9/2007","M316"
"AK2~Hairdressing NVQ L2 (Grp A)","HDRN2AK2-1B1FA","12:30","14:30"," 10/
9/2007","M316"
"AK2~Hairdressing NVQ L2 (Grp B)","HDRN2AK2-1B1FB","12:30","14:30"," 10/
9/2007","M308"
"Beauty Therapy Level 1 Grp D","BTHN1-1B1FD","9:00","10:30"," 10/

"Beauty Therapy NVQ Level 2 Grp A","BTHN2-1B1FA","9:00","12:00"," 10/

"Beauty Therapy NVQ Level 2 Grp A","BTHN2-1B1FA","12:30","14:00"," 10/

Using this coding, I now know how to get it into columns in a tabbed layout
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = func;
lv.load("Monday.txt");
function func(ok) {
if (!ok) {
trace("file not loaded.");
return;
}
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.tabStops = [220, 340, 390, 440, 490, 520];
tf.font = "Verdana";
tf.size = 9;
var nextD:Number = _root.getNextHighestDepth();
var w:Number = Stage.width - 20;
var h:Number = Stage.height - 20;
var txt:TextField = _root.createTextField("schedule", nextD, 10, 10, w, h);
txt.wordWrap = txt.multiline = /*txt.border =*/ true;
txt.autoSize = true;
txt.setNewTextFormat(tf);
var temp1:Array = unescape(this).split("=&onLoad")[0].split("\n");
for (var i:Number = 0; i < temp1.length; i++) {
var temp2:String = temp1[i].split(",").join("\t").split("\"").join("");
txt.text = (txt.text.length > 0 ? txt.text : "") + temp2 + (i ==
temp1.length-1 ? " " : " \n");
}
}
The problem I have now is, in the text file I am going to have upto 120-130 of
these records, now the maximum I can fit onto the screen is 20, is there a way
I can split this text file up so I can show Page 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7
and 7/7, where it switches over automatically via a timer of some sort, say
after 20 seconds.
