ActionScript 1/2 :: Input TextField With Specific Embedded Characters?

Feb 21, 2010

I have an input textfield nested inside a movieclip, i embedded a set of characters but when i run the movie i can still input characters that were not part of the embedding list. The input text field has both an instance name and variable name. If i copy that text field into an empty fla file, it works correctly by not allowing character inputs that were not embedded.

Actionscript 3 :: Cannot Type In An Input TextField With An Embedded Pixel Font

Sep 24, 2011

In order to use a pixel font in my textfields, I have created a font class in the Flash IDE. Then, I created a TextField instance with the font embedded with the anti aliasing set to bitmap. I export an SWC with all those things.I created a class with a nice API to be able to deal with this stuff easily.In FDT, I use class and this all works properly.

The issue here is that I now want to use one of these textfields as an input. I tried setting the textfield type to TextFieldType.INPUT, however the only thing that this does is allow me to select the text, I cannot type. I also created another asset with the type already set to input, does not work either.I tried with just the asset, not with my class, and then I can type ok.Is there something that prevents a textfield from being editable once it is part of a sprite? Here is the code of my class with the API:

package net.jansensan.as3fflikeui.text
{
// + ----------------------------------------
// [ IMPORTS ]

Flash :: Textfield Embedded Font Only Adjusts According To Textfield Height?

Jun 14, 2011

i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?

I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false

ActionScript 3.0 :: Input Fields Won't Allow Certain Characters

Apr 20, 2011

I have a form for signing up for a email newsletter, requesting name, phone number, email, etc. However, for some reason, it won't allow me to enter "3" "4" or the "@" symbol in any of the textfields. You can see how that could be a problem.I'm working with a preexisting site, build by someone else. The SWF on the site doesn't have this problem, (it works fine) but when I create a new SWF from the FLA they got from the previous designer, I have these problems, even before I made any changes.

The site was built with something newer than Flash 8 (I couldn't open it with Flash 8), but older than CS5 (when I save a new version of the FLA, it tells me it will no longer be compatible with older versions of Flash) Could this be caused by that?

the code from the form:

Code:

stop ();
this.tabEnabled;
name.tabIndex = 1;
street.tabIndex = 2;

Actionscript 3 :: Possible To Use A Non-embedded Fallback Font When Using An Embedded Font With TextField?

Sep 10, 2010

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting Input Text To Unique Characters?

Apr 20, 2011

I already know how to limit my input text to a number of characters, but how would I go about (if possible) making sure characters do not repeat? In other words, I have a ten character input text box and I want you to be able to type pretty much any character but only one of each.

Example:

AFKEIOPCNK

What I'm trying to eliminate is this:

AANHDKDDJI

If that isn't possible, I'd like to instead detect if there are repeated characters so I can just say "that's invalid".

Professional :: Store A String Of Characters From An Input Text Box?

Jul 26, 2010

I basically need to store a string of characters from an input text box and have them displayed at the last frame of the quiz.  I declared the variable holding the input text as _global.player in the first frame, and upon clicking the start button the code is:
 
on (release) {    _global.player=player.text;    gotoAndStop (2);    }
 
These variables are not referenced again until the last frame of the quiz, which reads thus:
 
stop();playerdisplay.text=_global.player;score.text=_global.correct;'Endng Comments Generator'if (_global.correct<=3) {    phrase="Try a little harder next time";}if (_global.correct>3 + _global.correct<7) {    }comment.text=phrase;
 
Yes, I know the global.correct coments are not yet complete, but i dont think that should be causing any issue with the playerdisplay.text (the dynamic text box to display the player name).  If anyone could give me a hand that would be great.  Nothing appears in the dynamic text box when the final frame of the movie loads.
