Resolume Forum

I have a question about the text function in 1.1 beta 2. when a swf is loaded in resolume there is a possibility to add text in realtime,
i can type in the text but it doesn't appear in the output window. what's my problem, i didn't find a topic on this in the manual.

thanx

you have to make a dynamic text field in your flash file named 'text'

there are example .FLA files in your install of Resolume. I don't remember the name of the folder and I'm not at my video machine, but they are there...

Thanx i'll try that

Thanx Bsom it works, but i think the problem was that i first was using flash 5 and it didn't seem to work. With the flash 4 player installed it works fine. Do you use flash 5?

i currently have installed flash 6 and i make my files in flash mx, it seems to work fine.

Also on the same topic but when typing text into the text entry window.....

Unless i am pressing shift+[whaterver] pressing anykey results in the output having the invert effect applied to it ??????


is this a known bug - or am i just lucky to be able to access this special feature


ps - top software bart & eddy

I am using Flash MX and have the latest patch level of the Flash plugin installed, version 6.0.47.0 I believe...

I've never had any problems typing into the Text field of a channel with a Flash file loaded into it. Make sure you are in the field before you start typing...

whenever i try to load a flashtext in a layer i get a error msg from resolume "unbekannter fehler" (unknown errror)

is there more to do than load it in a channel and than into a layer or special layer (example only 3rd layer)
what i have to do else

thx andy

did you create the dynamic text field in your Flash content named 'text'?
