I have been using flash AS2 for about 12 months but I'm totally at a loss with something that seems totally straightforwards...How can I input only numeric data so that AS recognises it as numbers not text?in the test below the input field in _root.myNumand I'm using a button (_root.in2) to test. I've tried:
Code:
this.in2.onRelease=function(){
var numVar:Number = parseInt(_root.myNum);

I used to use flash years ago, and have only recently come back to it in my course in university so im very rusty.
What i am looking to do is in flash create two sliders where the user can slide along to their shoe size, and their weight, so that as they do that, the numbers in two other boxes will periodically change to help indicate what size snowboard they need to get.
eg. as user makes shoe size slider go along to larger sizes, at certain points the number in a box labelled board width will increase.
also as an added touch I would like a character to actually increase in size as the slider is used, I'd imagine for this I would need to have a movieclip of the character getting bigger and allow the slider to progress through the frames of this movieclip.

how do I sort the list component by numerical values? At the moment, the sort sorts as follows 1 10 100 2 20 200 3 30 300...i want it to be 1 2 3 10 20 30 100 200 300...I am using the following code to accomplish this.[code].Is there a way I can reuse my listeners because basically the actions of the lists are the same...when you mouse over the elements I want the booths to highlight.when you click it zooms to a booth and highlights it something else...I am accomplishing this by duplicating the listeners [code]
View 2 RepliesThis ActionScript is creating reading an XML file, and laying out thumbnail images. I'm stuck though! Each thumbnail is given a value of thumbnail[x], going from 0-5. I wrote some mouse actions and need to access each thumbnail's number, not entire name (where I have it in red below).

I'm currently underway in designing the UI for my game's level editor, I'm not using Flash's build in UI components instead I'm doing it from scratch using OOP.I want to have buttons, drop down menus, panels/windows that contain text fields and buttons.
At the moment I have the buttons down whenever one is created it is added to a static class's static array, and given a unique id number dependent on how many buttons have been created and added to the array so far.I figured this would be good as whenever a button is created I could apply an Event Listener looking for a MouseEvent.CLICK. Then just using the event.currentTarget.getID(), to find out what button has been pressed.
I'm about to start making panels/windows so the user can enter numerical values then submit them via a button, which will also close the window. I was thinking about doing more of the same and having static classes for each input type which lists all instances of that type of object.

View 2 RepliesI would like to know if theirs a way where you can type in a text field something like "5*5".
And then on enter, the document would take the database and be able to return 25.
I am quite confused due to the fact that content that you input into a textfield must be a String and when you use the Number() converter the system gets confused.

View 3 RepliesI have an input textfield and some keys listeners on the stage. When typing in the input textfield the key listeners of the stage and loaded swfs get triggered. I've tried different things with focus and stopPropagation but nothing's been working, at least the ways I've been implementing it.So my question is, "How can I make it so that when I am typing into the input textfield, none of the keylisteners get triggered?"

The gallery is working well, It can load the thumbnails smoothly without returning any error. However, the thumbnails doesn't load as expected, I think because the smallest file size gets to load first. So if thumbnail[3] is the smallest, it'll attach itself to thumbnail_container[0] which it should always be thumbnail[0] to thumbnail_container[0] and so on.

View 6 RepliesHow to make vertical slider which will generate the number from the numerical range?
View 5 RepliesI defined an array construct and assigned two variables to part of the array so I can simple sort it:
number1 = array[i]
number2 = array[i+1]
if(number1 > number2){
...swap etc
Problem is, when I try the comparason if the one of the numbers has a higher digit value, it ignores the statement entirely. Eg If 16 > 8 it skips it. So I tried adding '16' and '08' into the array and that worked perfectly with the statement.
