ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] MC Control By Cursor Position?
Jan 27, 2009
Basically I want an MC to appear or disappear depending on the mouse proximity to it. Say for example I have a nav which only becomes visible as the mouse moves to the right hand side and then disappears as it moves away.
Previously I have used the old invisible button trick that triggers the MC as the mouse moves over it. Yes im well aware that is frowned upon and is not 100% effective but as of yet thats the only method I know.

Is there a method to set the caret position within a RichEditableText control? The control's contents can contain errors that the user must fix which are navigated though via Next/Previous buttons, and during the navigation I would like to set the caret cursor to the end of each error within the text.

I need to handle diagraphs and then convert them on the fly to the proper unicoderepresentation. For example when the user types in:SxMy app needs to replace it with:ow, I've been able to do the replacement no problem. The issue though is that once I've done the replacement, the cursor goes to the beginning of the textbox rather than the end.As I'm trying to update the user's text on the fly, this obvious doesn't work.

Can I have a control of cursor position in the landing email program when I use mailto? I think it looks more professional when the cursor goes into Subject field rather than falling right behind my email address in To field. The following snippet that I tried didn't make any difference. [code]...

I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.

Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).

Is it possibile to set the position of the mouse cursor? This is what I would like to do: when the user presses the mouse button over a movieclip, the movieclip starts dragging and on enterframe the cursor is positioned in the middle of the movieclip (don't tell me about lockcenter because I can't use it this way since my movieclip registration point is set at its top left corner). Basically, I would like to be able to force the cursor to reach the center of the movieclip when the user clicks it. Is this possible?

I will be creating an animation with a jpeg image as the background. The animation will consist of moving lines.
When I place my curser over the animation box, and have the lines animate. When I place my curser off the aniamtion box, I would like the animation to stop playing.
The curser placement would be the trigger for the animation.

I have a combobox implementation as follows - Based on user input (min 2 chars) in the editable combobox, the data provider is refreshed and drop-down opened, showing different data sets as user input varies.Problem is that after drop-down opens, the cursor moves back to the beginning. So for instance, the user types in "ab", and wants to type in "c" to form the search string "abc". Due to the cursor re-setting its position to 0, the search string instead ends up as "cab".Here's what I tried already (doesn't work) : textInput.mx_internal::getTextField().setSelection(index, index);
where index = length of user input. This selects text from index to index (which effectively un-selects text) and is supposed to place the cursor at the end.

I am making something in Actionscript 3, where people can modify a piece of text, within a TextArea.Now, it's easy to get the typed character, but using event.getChar.
But, I would also like to know where the character was typed: the (text)cursor position.I've read about that it's easy to do with a TextField, however, I want to use a TextArea for a few reasons:
I've read about it being possible with a TextField, but I'm not sure how I would make that into an input field.
How can I make a TextField behave like a TextArea?

Does anyone know of a way to return the position of the cursor in a input textfield? Can it be done at all? More specifically I need to know the y-value of the cursor somehow.
Have looked through the AS3 documentation, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

In my app, the user clicks on an object, which centers the object on the screen. The user's cursor stays where he/she clicked. I find that it is kind of disorienting to have the object move without the cursor. For the user's convenience, I would like to move the cursor to the center of the stage as well.

I have a project where you click on a movieclip and it creates a new movie on the stage and I do a startdrag on that movie.Rather I would like to, just to test if I could get it to work I figured out the x and y position roughly on one of the movies and was able to get the startdrag to work(YaY!!), however I would like the created movieclip if possible to be created centered(center x and y position of the created movie) on the cursor point.

I'm trying to make a movie clip move left or right depending if you move the cursor to the right or left on th screen. The clip is long and it have a lot of thumbnails and when it reaches the end of the stage has to stop. I have achieved this, but when the mc comes to the side of the stage it is getting slower and slower and I need it to move with a constant speed.

I'm building part of an UI that suggests certain words based on to the user's input. (Quit like Google's suggestions) It works quite well but one detail bothers me: When I have a list of suggestions I highlight the list-items by listening to the arrow up and down keys. When the fist element is highlighted, and the user presses the up arrow, I want the cursor to be in the Text(Input)Field again, but at the last position.
(I removed the focus from the InputField not to move the cursor in my singel line field to the first position when the up-arrow is pressed)
I set the cursor to the last Position using setSelection() but as it is the field receives the key-press after my event callback is executed and the pressing of the up-arrow in a single line field does what it always does, it places the cursor at the first position.
I considered using the CHANGE event, but as the arrow key does not actually change the content of the TextField, that is not working. Still I think that the solution might be along that way, as the CHANGE event is/would be at the end of the event-chain, where I need to do the repositioning of the cursor.

I need certain walking loops that are used by the script when the cursor is either North, Diagnal positions etc. Also I need the same when its idle.

This was harder than I thought (or could it be my lack of knowledge in AS ) Anyhow, problem: I want my cursor to swap with a costum cursor, go to an defined x and y position from its original position (maby wait a sec.. if possible) an then go back to where ever my original cursor position may be. Did I get that right haha. A sample is in the begining of this [URL] I posted a fla with cursor and position. (screaming from th bottom of a swedih well, and they're deep)
