I need some input text to read the same in both a dynamic and input text field, but I need the input text field to be left-aligned with a smaller font size than the dynamic text field. I tried left-aligining the input text field in Flash, and it just converted it back when I tested the movie. I have given both fields the same variable. How can I accomplish this?

I've had a site running for a few months that takes fourinput text boxes (name, e-mail, subject and message) and posts thevalues to an ASP page which composes an e-mail with a CDO.Messagecommand. For some reason (nothing has been changed in the files or onthe server), it stopped working and I've traced it down to Flashpassing Input Text Box Formatting information along WITH theariable.Can anyone explain what's happened and how to correct it?For example, in my form I've set all the name, e-mail andmessage to static text and let the Subject variable be passed andin the e-mail subject line, I get this:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P
ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><FONT FACE="American Typewriter" SIZE="12"
COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0"

I have 4 dynamic text boxes which duplicates the text from a main input text box. How do I write a code to make visible only the dynamic text box I want when clicked it's check box.What is the CODE to make each "DYNAMIC TEXTBOX" visible when clicked on it's checkbox?
View 6 RepliesI have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
my_Input_Txt.onChanged = function() {
my_Dyn_Txt1.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt2.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt3.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
};
I need to have an outline for the text typed in my input text boxes. How do I achieve this?
View 5 RepliesI have a text input field. When I press on it I'd like something to happen. But it doesn't seem like I can target the input field like this.
myTextInputFieldName.onPress = function {
do something
}
I tried putting it inside another movieclip (which I can target), but then the text input cursor goes away and I can no longer access the input text box. I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't figure it out.
I have: Input text box Dynamic text box What's the code and where do i put it, so when entering a value to the input text, the dynamic will show the amount multiplied by 20?
View 1 RepliesI am creating an interactive word prosessor. I would like to be able to format my text (font, size, style, aligning, etc) but I am unsure of the syntax envolved. my code is:
[Code]...
format partial parts of an input text box at runtime. I have seen a few "text editors" around which are built in flash so i am assuming it is posible but i would like to know the extent of developement on this. My idea is much more simple than the text editor.
Basically i just need to be able to change the format of a specific word or two in a string, which the user has entered in the user input box, on specific words..
for example. image writing some text in MS word, and the last word written is wrong "spelled incorectly" it is then immidiately underlined.. this is the effect i'm after. i have the code working producing errors in a seperate output box. but i need it to change the input text dynamically at run time.
The first questions was a calculation with the correct answer 5 or five. I have created an input text box with a variable ans1. Instance for the input text is Q1Input. I made a button with the following button script:
on (release, keypress "<Enter>") {
if (ans1 eq "5" or ans1 eq "five") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
[Code].....
Typing a correct answer gets me to a wrong message (frame 3) not correct (frame 2). When I trace(ans1) it seems that the input text box is passing teh formatting data with the value thus giveing me WRONG.
I have a problem with Input Text boxes within an exported swf. The font (Arial Narrow) has been embedded via Text > Font Embedding (Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals, and Puncuation checked); but, upon export, certain characters do not register (specifically j, q. u, z, 8, and 9) or automatically take one case or the other (B, M, W, and X are always Uppercase; while k always appears as Lowercase).

View 4 RepliesI have a TextInput for a user to enter their Date of Birth. Right now they just enter a string of numbers and I parse it for the correct values but this can be very inefficient. What I am looking to do is have the TextInput automatically formatted to look --/--/---- so the user can click in it and fill in the '-' fields while leaving the '/' for formatting purposes. Does anyone know of a good way to do this?

View 3 Repliesi was hoping that someone might have an answer to my question. is there ANY way to dynamically change the kerning of an input box? i'd like to give users the ability to modify the kerning of my .swf file. i know flash allows you to change properties like font size, colour, alignment, etc., but i can't find a way to change the kerning property. i don't even think one exists for them. so is there any kind of work around to this?also, is there any reason why i can't use negative values for leading for the input box? it only allows me to use positive numbers when i try to change it dynamically.

View 2 RepliesI am willing to use Macromedia Flash this year to make my physics project. Well, its going to be force resultant calculator. for ones dont know how it gets counted.
Well, I'll make 4 input text boxes, and a button in the middle. 1 text boxin the north, (power effect the body from the north) one on the south, one on the east and one on the west.(I've done that part).
Then, ill need it to subtract the north - south and east - west on(release), and display that on a dynamic box called Fx (east - west) and another called FY (north - south) Finally, I'll need it fethagorth the Fx and FY to give me the final force resultant. I've done the 4 input boxes and a button, I'll still need someone gimme the action script for subtraction and fethagorth (or atleast teach me how to do it).
I want to be able to add the sum of 3 input text boxes and have the total be displayed in another text box. figure I set a variable and do something along the lines of: Number = "_root.input1 + _root.input2 + _root.input3";Or do I have to do this another way?Also where should I put the code? In a button? Or can I stick it in the frame to save complications of users clicking on a button.
View 5 RepliesI have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

InputText1.text += 1
}

I can't seem to get the buttons to fill in the second text field.
I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?
