Default Photo textbox updates automatically

Snib,

I was wondering if you could maybe help me out on this. BTW, I did see your newest FAQ addition and I think it looks great. This part of your FAQ topic gave me a good idea about using dynamic text fields for each photo in a frame based on the photo.

Quote:
quote:So if you called your variable title your path would be something like this:

../flashmovies/banner.swf?title=Welcome

The value of the textfield would then be 'Welcome'.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this technique applies primarily to Flash MX 2004. This technique or similar techniques may work for other versions.
Now, my question is this: Can I use dynamic text fields whose value is based on the photo that is used from the Flash library? For example, if I have a photo named "Tornado Watch" in the library and I use that photo in a frame, how can I program the dynamic text field so that it displays the name of THAT photo?

GRRRRRRR!:D

I'm starting to wish you had a copy of AOL Instant Messenger. That program is absolutely free and you do not have to be an AOL member to use the AIM service
