Saving Data from input text boxes

  • February 19, 2018

Hi People,

I've been reading a lot about saving data but I can't seem to execute it. This little app allows a user to input 32 names, then click a button that removes unwanted objects from the stage and allows other objects to appear that are required. The user then clicks a button, the program associates a random number with a name and displays it. I got this working quite easy. All i want to do now is at least allow for the user to reopen a file and all the names that were input are still there. I'm assuming three is a quick easy way to achieve this?

Thanks

Source Code:

finitialise (null);

stop();

function fStartApp (evt:MouseEvent):void{

        TXT_S1.visible = false;

        TXT_S2.visible = false;

        TXT_S3.visible = false;

        TXT_S4.visible = false;

        TXT_S5.visible = false;

Thanks I really appreciate your help. It does not look a simple as I thought it would be. I'm hoping I can bring myself to understand how you went about that. Unfortunately I get an error in my output:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

    at RandomStudents_fla::MainTimeline/getTexts()

    at RandomStudents_fla::MainTimeline/save()

    at RandomStudents_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

As I don't understand the way the code functions yet, can you please point me in the right direction to go next?

Thanks

Great!

The error is saying that the getTexts() function cannot access an object, a property or method. Probably it has something to do with the shared object.

Would you mind sharing your FLA?

Thanks,
