Feb 17, 2010I'm trying to make a login. How do I check to see if anything at all is typed in the string.

View 1 Repliesi'm having a bit of an issue with a multilanguage little flash chatprogram. It has a input textfield, the right fontdata and characters are embedded, but slovenian users can't input some chars Although it works when they copy/paste text into the inputfield, then the characters show and all seems well. But actually typing them seems to fail. So i know it's not the infamous wmode bug.
View 2 RepliesI want to check if an input text field is empty. I only managed to do it this way;
mytext = textfield.text;
if(mytext != "") .....
The problem with this approach is that I also want to exclude variables with whitespaces.
I tried; if(!isEmpty(mytext) )..... but that didnt work.
We got some complaints from users not being able to type in certain chars like '@' and '.' in an input field (textfield). The Textfield is an input field type:
Font embedding seems fine (all needed chars are selected + '@' and '.')
Textfield restrict property is set: "a-zA-Z0-9@.\_\-"
Still some users complain not being able to type a '@' or '.' I've googled and searched the forum and the only thing I've found that could cause this was the wmode = 'opaque' property. We need to set this property to show up Facebook Connect windows. Otherwise these windows would get behind the Flash object in the HTML page. Another reason could be related to the regional settings of the keyboard, which might be faulty interpreted by Flash. Or could it simply be related to a faulty restrict (regex) property?
my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
Where do I look that would effect the keyboards input like this? It worked fine before and I haven't been playing with the text at all. I recently added external interface then commented it out and still doesn't work. The font is _sans which usually displays every language fine.
i'm facing a weird problem with the following flex application (something very simple, couldn't be more):
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:TextInput/>
[Code].....
I tried these browsers on Mac: Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera. And it works like a charm for them. The bug is only on Google Chrome Mac.
I also tried on Windows with IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome. No bug either for them on Windows.
I've read on the Internet other people on Linux have the same bug sometimes (again, it's just for a couple of browsers and never all the browsers on their platform). I hope I don't have to tell my users to trick with their OS configuration. It's our job to make our apps to fit the visitor, not theirs!
A special configuration to do (compatibility mode with older Flash version 8, 9, something like that?)...
i have an one input text box, first i type text into it and press space bar at this it will become empty and ready to accept next input from starting position, i make the text box empty by
textbox.text = "";
but the cursor not set to initial position in text box it consider "" as "space" and cursor will display after one space only, i need that cursor again move to starting position..
Is there a static property in Action similar to that in the String object in .net to check if a string is empty, that is String.Empty.

[CODE]....
I have a multiple choice quiz designed for a client. I have an array that works thruout the questions, that if the user answers incorrectly, it stores the question number in the array. When the user reaches the end of the quiz, I dont want this array to always display at the end, since the user could have all the asnwers correct (which means the array should be empty). I am trying to make an if else statement that will display a different message if the array is empty.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI want to check in my function if a passed argument of type object is empty or not. Sometimes it is empty but still not null thus I can not rely on null condition. Is there some property like 'length'/'size' for flex objects which I can use here.
View 6 RepliesIf I have an XMLList object in Flex, what is the proper way to check to see if the list is empty? Should I just compare the result of myList.length() > 0, myList.toString() != "" or try another method altogether?

if (erasableBitmapData = empty){
trace("empty")

How to check if a string is empty?
View 3 Replieschecking an XML file for a specific node.
Example:
<vid
flv="videoName"
thumb="thumbnail.jpg"
title="Video Title"
[code]....
The first vid node contains a path to a logo graphic, I then need to check in my ActionScript if there is a logo there or not, and to do something if there is(display the logo) I can trace out the logo path so I thought I could run a simple if/else to check if there is anything in that node and if so to do something:
private function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent = null):void
{
trace("
");
[code]....
Now I've tried everything, but it will always trace out "Does have a logo" no matter what I do. I tried:
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == "")
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == null)
However I get the same results?
I installed said program but whenever I add users, it says they were added successfully and exist in CMD.However when I check the users.dat file it is empty. When I try Live Encoder it says the user does not exist.
View 10 RepliesIs there a simple way to check if an associative array has anything in it whatsoever? Not looking for a specific key/value, but rather if there's *anything* in it, similar to checking if a normal array is empty by checking it's 'length'.
View 12 RepliesI have a button on stage which has a child menu movieclip and that movieclip has three submenu button children.On each of these 3rd level buttons an event listener draws a new container on the stage and adds a new movieClip holding various info.This all works nicely, but I cannot work out a way to get an eventListener on the menu buttons to check if the container already exists so I can then stop the button repeating the add container function. So, at the moment you can repeatedly hit any of these menu buttons and they will just continue to add info movieClip children.I've tried some nice Boolean commands that should work, but I think it's the nesting of the children/relationships that are not allowing me to get this to work.So, basically for arguments sake, let's say I only have one of each item... here's the nesting of children:[code]
View 14 RepliesI have 3 input texts on the stage.
money_input
percent_input
years_input
what I want after pressing the button (calculate_btn)is to get thees values entered from these input texts into 3 vaiables.
var $money
var $percent
var $years
and check if the inputs are numbers only not string not empty. I tried to convert the inputs to numbers to insure that they are numbers without making a function to check the inputs but always I get NaN when I entr value like 444bb;
ActionScript Code:
error_txt.text = "Enter some values to calculate your loan";
//--------Make the button listener----------//[code].........
how could i detect empty input in a textfield?[code]not working..
View 4 RepliesI'm creating a simple quiz which has 3 questions. Each question has an input text field next to it for the user to type their answer. There is also one submit button underneath the 3 questions.
What I'm needing is some actionscript so they can only progress to the next frame by clicking the submit button once ALL 3 text fields have text in it. It doesn't have to detect any specific text, just that there is something put into each one. If there hasn't been, then it'll pop up with text asking them to complete all the questions first.

I have a text input box that needs to validate for a number between 0 and 11.75 (inches). At the same time, it needs to validate for no input.
I'm using:if (Number(inches) > 11.75 || int(inches) == 0)This does fine checking for no input at all, but it doesn't validate 0 inches.
Anyone know how to do both: check for no input and allow for 0 (zero)?
Wondering how I can check an input box to make sure it contains a specific email address
I need it placed on my submit button that has an instance name of submitMC
How would I check for example if the input box contained @gmail.com
If @gmail.com is true something A happens. If it's not found something B happens.

I have created a simple game which asks young children to spell in a text input box the image they see - typically banana, apple etc. I have a text input box into which they spell the word. A button they click to check their answer and a dynamic text box which displays either Wrong or Well done. The code I have applied to the button is pasted below:
on (press) {
if (answer1.text.indexOf("banana") != -1) {
show.text="well done";
} else {show.text="wrong";
}}
The problem I am having is that if they have a variant of the answer in the input text box it displays correct. For example, with the code above, the following answer would receive a correct response - "bananananananan". Is there any way to slightly tweek the code so that they need to spell the exact word? I have noticed that this works the same for simple maths questions. 5 + 5 with an answer of 1000 will give a correct response because somewhere in the answer is 10.
