In the submit form I'm having a text field for to enter a username.How do automatically remove any spaces between characters in the username field?
View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
I want to make a text box that will not allow spaces to be entered. Is there some actionscript to do this?
In other words, a user typing 'John Smith' would just display 'JohnSmith'.
Is there a simple inbuilt function in AS3 to remove spaces in a String??
View 3 RepliesI made the following function to fade in and out four clips:
Code:
function fadeSq (clips, fade, speed){
while (clips.length){
clips[0].onEnterFrame = function(){
var fadeOut = fade - this._alpha;
[code]....
and I'm calling the code this way:
Code:
this.fadeSq ([btn_about_us, btn_Products, btn_product_codes, btn_contact_us], 0, 3);
As you al can see am I using underscores in the call back function, which I don't want because I want to display the information in a dynamic textfield. But when I leave open spaces I get all kind of errors. How can I prevend this?

I'm slowly converting my older Director-made tutorials to Flash. The user inputs text, and then I evaluate it. Before this evaluation, I want to remove spaces to avoid the user's input being counted incorrect because of an extra space. How do I do this for Flash CS5?
Here's what I did for Director.

I'm building a word search game using the following AS3 code. My problem is I need to have spaces in my array of words, so that I can have things like states names, but I need the spaces removed before the words go into the puzzle.
The other concern is also that when a person selects a word from the puzzle will it still match the word in the list even though the word in the list still has a space.[code]...
create a function in my program which trims away all the extra heading and trailing spaces in my input text field. I've just begun to learn actionscripting not long ago so I am not really proficient in it yet.

View 5 Repliesi am missing a few characters, once i load text into a dynamic text field. chars are not missing per say; they are being replaced with empty squares.characters like the euro sign and accentuated german a letter.whats is weird is that other accentuated german letters do appear. so only a few selected are missing.How ive set up the fla:
1) i've added 4 text fields to the stage in the font im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic, and in all 4 fields ive embedded all latin characters (to include the german accentuaded characters and im guessing it's in the punctuation group that holds the euro sign, so that one is also embedded), besides lowercase, uppercase, numerical, and all the default groupd to include basic text.
2) i've got a dynamic text field, created with createTextField, and setup the following ActionScript (2):[code]i mean, it seems that the arial font is missing a few accentuated characters! because the code i have setup loads other accentuated characters.
if i have this, for example:<font color="#9378FE" size="28">LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET</font>how do i remove any occurence of html tags?so that i am only left with:LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to strip the name of a movieclip to just the number so that I can use it as a parameter in a function. The name of the movieclip is mcThumb6 and there are 8 different clips that are numbered 1 - 8. I'm trying to use the .split method to remove the mcThumb and just have the "6" remain. The movieclips all have rollover functions. The rollover event strips out the string and then will call a function using the number (based on which movieclip was rolled over). This is working except when I trace out the new value it adds a comma in front of the number -- i.e. the output looks like this: ,6 instead of just 6.Does anyone know where this comma is coming from?
The code:
mcNav.mcThumb6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent):void

I need a regexp to remove all all type of empty characters from a string and just leave numbers so for example: myString = " 1 "; to return "1"
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text field that reads the text from a XML file. And what I want to do is simply count the amount of characters being in that text field.
I've tried:
trace (myTextArea.length);
trace(myTextArea.text.length);
and I get this"Undefined" crap =/.
And I'm using that code in a onEnterFrame function so it's not that the XML is late loaded into flash or something...
So I have a flashobject which I need to pass a formatted DateTime string to.
My code:
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
which outputs as: 2009-09-16 22:26:45
However when it is actually output to HTML and swfobject it renders it as:
so.addVariable("inNowDate","2009-09-16+22%3a25%3a13");
I think this is messing up a calculation that the flash object does based off the current time. Do I need to encode or decode this?
I'm currently searching google whilst I ask this - I just couldn't find anything on my initial searches.Are there any quick ways to remove all non-numeric characters from a string?For example my string would contain:
'code: 1234'
I would wish to remove the 'code: ' part from the string just leaving '1234'.
I have to send a string from flash and I need to format it correctly. I'm going to use the restrict property too. Heres what I'm looking to achieve.
1. Remove and commas
2. If there are more than 2 characters after the period, round it the nearest number. Im guess for a minute you have to turn the string into a number then back to a string when processed.
ActionScript Code:
var badStr1:String = '1,000,000';
var badStr2:String = '1,000.98965';
I am working on an application that allows user to copy and paste content into a text field. The problem I'm running across is that when the user paste something with a tab in it, the tab is not shown in the text field.[code]...
View 1 RepliesThe following code does what I want (i.e. any key I press on the keyboard displays the character in uppercase format in the dynamic field on the stage) except that it does not properly restrict the characters to A-Z and 0-9. I can still press the <,.>?!/ keys and each of these chars shows up in the dynamic text field My dynamic text field is txt_BoxWhat is wrong with the following code?
var varKeyListener:Object = new Object();varKeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){ txt_Box.restrict = "A-Z 0-9"; txt_Box.text = String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii()); txt_Box.text = txt_Box.text.toUpperCase();}

User would type in the input 1000 or 5000000 and the immediately have commas added resulting in 1,000 and 5,000,000
I would think it would also need to ignore / remove any commas the user has put in to prevent any errors. The final number is being processed as part of a calculator.
I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly?
I've come across a strange error with a contact details form developed with Flash CS5 Prof. My keyboard layout is set up as English (UK) and pressing shift-2 gives me an ", shift-' gives me a @ in Chrome, Notepad, Word etc. In a text field on the flash form, entering shift-2 gives me @ but shift-' gives me ". I understand this is how the US keyboard is mapped out but it is confusing to my users.
How can I change the text field so that it works correctly for my keyboard layout?
I have taken over an old project of a registration page after a short quiz and for some reason it is not possible to enter special characters in the text input field. example: @ but it is also not possible to enter a y or a capital W and some others. I have not found any thread or google infos on this problem and am short of reprogramming the whole thing in as3 which is very tedious because the whole site is still running as2 and we do not have time nor money to update.
View 2 RepliesI want to show special characters in flash
I have taken a dynamic text field with HTML property = true;
Some of the characters are working fine. But some of the special characters are not. For example the angle symbol "∠" is not working.
I found out the Decimal code for angle symbol (∠) and used it. It is working fine if I don't embed the font but when we embed the font (even with all the characters that flash support), it is not working.
I am using the following code
Code:
abc_txt.htmlText="∠abc"
i have 3 fields where it's possible to type. What I need to know is, when I am on the 1st field, how do I make the cursor to automatically jump to the 2nd field after I write on the 1st, and so on.

Say I create a new timer:
Code:
var seekTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,5);
seekTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, seekTimerHandler);
seekTimer.start();
Now that will run 5 times. Does it automatically remove its event listener after 5 times?
