Total disclosure, this was an assignment for my class. However, this has already been turned in and graded. I really just want to know why it is not working.
I followed the steps in the book for the TLFTextField and external file. It works. I then needed to add 2 more TLFTextFields with 2 more external text files. When I now run it, the window pops up but is blank. Not even the original TLFTextField or text file display, which I know worked before. I did not even touch that code. There are no errors. I cannot figure out where I went wrong. My classmate had the same issue too.
My code is below:
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var t:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
t.width = 500;
t.height = 600;
t.background = true;
t.paddingTop = 20;
t.paddingLeft = 20;
t.paddingRight = 20;
addChild(t);
var textLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
textLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded);
textLoad.load(new URLRequest("sample.txt"));
function textLoaded(e:Event):void
{
var txt:String = URLLoader(e.target).data as String;
t.text = txt;
tf.color = 0x003300;
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.size = 14;
t.setTextFormat(tf);
}
var cat:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
var cf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
cat.width = 500;
cat.height = 600;
cat.background = true;

cat.paddingLeft = 20;
cat.paddingRight = 20;
addChild(cat);

i am not at home atm. As far as i can see, the code looks solid, but i think i know, what happens there. Try to load the files in a row, that means, you load 1 file first, remove the listener, and after that, you load file 2, etc... I think that should work. It could be possible, that the event EVENT.Complete, trigger all the other listeners.
