ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing TextField - Unable To Enter Data
May 28, 2010
I've created several textFields, writing:
ActionScript Code:
for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
this.createTextField("texto"+i,i+1,100,100,100,100);
};
That's O.K. But I can't put a text in them... when I write
ActionScript Code:
for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
["texto"+i].text = 15;
};
It simply doesn't work!
I have some problems using dynamic textfields, spent hours to get it fixed but nothing works. Here's the problem. I've created dynamic textfields where visitors can enter their data, like name, address, comment and so on. My website appears on fullscreen when the web address' typed in. When it's in this fullscreenmode, I'm not able to type in any data in this textfield. When I leave the fullscreenmode I am able to type in my data. Also I've created a dynamic textfield, which loads this sent data from an external database. Now I want to add a scrollbar to this textfield, so all the messages that doesn't fit in the field will be visible. I've tried to create my own, without success, even the simple one in the componentspanel doesn't work.
I have a simple microsoft access database (table with a handful of fields).I want to make a flash form that operators can use on mac and pc to enter information into the database.I know little about databases and although I've worked as a designer with flash for years, i know little about the latest scripting too.
i've a problem with my setFocus. i will use [n] to identfy the line in the code. this is a MouseEvent.CLICK - function from an other dynamic,non-selectable textfield. the textfield in work is one with an embeded font and some text in it.if i use line [3], i'll get the no blinking courser and no possibility to enter some words. also if i mark some other and click after that in the input-textfield directly there will no courser anymore.but this only happens in the first time using the swf. if i first click into the input-textfield, then set the focus to something else and trying the steps i wrote over here, everything works fine.
I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.
So i want a simpel textfield where a user write their name and hit the enter key. After hit of the enterkey, the textfield removes and another one is set, with the word Hi + the name. My code:
[Code]...
I know my if sentece is not in a function, and it will be outputtet incorrect in the output panel. But its just to give a feeling on what i was triyng to do.
This code work in flash, but when i try run using adobe air 2, the enter key is not detected, but instead ctrl+enter work. how to get this work? txtTLF is TLF TEXT EDITABLE
import flash.events.TextEvent; txtTLF.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, teclado); function teclado(e:TextEvent):void{
If I press ENTER while editing textfield a newline is inserted. How can I change ENTER on something else, for example CONTROL+ENTER or SHIFT+ENTER(i.e. SHIFT+ENTER inserts new line into textfield)
I have a search input textfield on stage that searches my list component...there is no search button, instead the search is performed 1 second after the user stops typing...(this is done with a key listener)...however the input focus gets stuck in the textfield if you type something (anything) and hit the enter key multiple times...I hit it like 5-10 real quick....then I tried to click my address bar in the browser, and I am unable to type a new URL...it just continues to type in the input text field on screen..
we have an internal webservice developed in our company and i have connected that web service using flex and am able to get all the methods/operations from that service. but wen i try to get data from methods i get the following error msg while running the applicationSecurity error accessing urlUnable to load WSDL. If currently online, verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://ispl30:8080/MGEMWS/MGEMWS?wsdl)am not able to figure out what the problem is?
I just spent three hours on trying to understand basic positioning of TextFields and SimpleButtons...
I have a movieclip with a dynamic TextField and a SimpleButton inside. The TextField is NOT inside the SimpleButton (because then I can't change the text dynamically).
I want the TextField centered in the SimpleButton but when I set the Textfield.x it is displayed somewhere completely different than when I set the SimpleButton.x to the same value. Regardless of if I do i programmatically or not.
We got a call today from a customer saying she was unable to input colon ":" in a textfield, instead it would turn into a ">". My first thought, since she's on a PC, was that she probably had switched her keyboard layout from swedish to english which would indeed make the colon turn into a "greater than". But after some investigation this happened on every pc I tested this on, and outside flash the inputs were correct. I am able to copy-paste a colon into the textfield.I also tried this on a pc with Windows 7 with a strange outcome. The first input became a ">", but after that the colons appeared correctly. After reloading the flash it worked from the first input.
What must be done to allow a user to input information into a flash form, have it permanently saved to a .txt file and then have the data returned to another location within the same flash document?

I've been trying to change the text within a SimpleButton instance using this:
var drawButton:SimpleButton = main.drawButton; var upButton:DisplayObjectContainer = drawButton.upState as DisplayObjectContainer; var upButtonText:TextField = upButton.getChildAt(1) as TextField;
I have a video gallery that generates a menu from xml.I first create a container then add textfields as menu items to the container I have listeners for mouse OVER on OFF for each menu item as welll as a function to change the text color ON CLICK.What I need to do is figure out how to switch a previously clicked menu item's text color back to "OFF" color when a new menu item is clicked But I Can not figure out how to traverse the display heiracrhy to get to the textField's color in all the other menu items.
heres the function:
ActionScript Code: //create Moviclip to hold menu function createMenuContainer():void {
[code]....
so the video menu item's heirachy is some thing like
but of course this does not work. I think my logic is reasonably sound I just not sure of the correct syntax to get at the textField.textColor of all the other menu items that ARE NOT clicked on the Mouse Click Event of a menu item that is clicked.
I'm trying to create a class that acts just as an normal textfield, same properties and all, but that also draws a background filled with a gradient behind the text. I'm not focusing on the gradient yet , just trying to figure out how to assemble the code... Is this the right approach?
I have a movie clip which animates out and then places an input textfield on the last frame for the user to type in to. The main movie clip is controlled from external ActionScript. Once the last frame hits and the input field shows I want to focus the users cursor with focus(); but I can't figure out how to call to that TextInput from the time line. mytext.focus(); ???
I made a textfield, and applied a textformat to it, but whenever i try to change its text to something else outside of "addChild(myText)" it just removes the text completely.
I'm new to AS3 and I'm trying to load a data from a XML file ("AppData") and set the data (text) in a dynamic text field("Label") on the stage. For accessing and manipulating the XML file ,I have an external as file with a class called "DataClass". And I running scripts in project frame to access the data from XML in the class "DataClass" to set it in the text field.
I have a dynamic textfield in a libraried movieclip.
I referred to the movieclip from an external class and have the linkage setup for it.
However, no matter what I try to do to instanciate the text field inside it, I keep getting:
Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
Now I really want to have this dynamic textfield inside the movieclip because it's part of a preloader so I don't just want to addChild to the stage. So Now I think I can't just build it.
I've been working on this all afternoon long and can't seem to shake this error.
I'm trying to create a background for a textfield like this: When I access the textWidth property it always seems to be the total width. Which is fine for all the lines expect the last. So it possible to access the width of the last line text?
How can I have an input textfield and when you type something and then press "ENTER" on the keyboard something happens? Just need to know how to make an enter listener!
