I need to learn how to create a text duplication effect. As the user is typing a question, the text is displayed simultaneously in another dynamic text box on the page.

score +=1;
i have a question that is almost like other questions but with a small but very important difference. how can i restrict file types for user with a popup showed in the browser.
The standard file input of html can limit that with a command but it does not work in all browser so it is not an option. I do not want to validate the file extension after the user has chosen a file but before that, when he is choosing.[URL].. but it uploads the file after the user has chosen it, i do not want to do that, i want to upload it after the user submits the form.
So the problem looks like this that there are some ways of not letting the user send a not valid file but they are not good because, one is that i validate after the user have chosen the file and the other is that i upload the file before the user submits the form.
I just want a simple thing to not letting to "chose" a not valid file, it does not matter if it will be made with java script or flash, just let it work.
I'm creating simple input text field. There's a whole lot of other things going on, but basically the text field is working fine - except for one strange thing: the cursor does not advance as the user types. The result is that as the user types different characters they just stack up on top of each other. The characters don't overwrite one another, but rather just stack up in the space for the first character. Here's the part of my code that defines the text field:
Code: Select allpublic function makeTextField():void{
var myFont:Font = new BankGothicMed();
var myTextFieldFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

I'm working in CS4 but the flash file I'm updating is a few years old - so I'm still working in AS2 for this project.I am working on updating a file that uses combo boxes but am not terribly familiar with how to control them using action script. I have made my combo box editable so that the user can input text. I have several scenes in my flash file that act as different pages. Right now, with the combo Box editable, if the user inputs text and leaves that "page", then comes back to it later, the text they input is gone and the combo box value is blank.Is there a code I can apply to my combo box or scene to tell it to keep the value that the user types in, even if they leave that scene and come back to it later?

I need to have a search box, and when the user types in a term and hits submit, I want it to go to a URL and add "srch=<whatever is typed in the box>" to the URL address. In other words, if you type in "Cattle dog" as your search term, I want the URL to read "http:[url]..... This should be so easy. I have a TextInput box called "search_txt" and a submit button called "submit_txt".

I want to duplicate objects that users have drawn. I set up a pencil class and added those drawings to a container. I tried duplicating the container , which worked, but did not duplicate the drawing. Only the container. I know I'm missing some vital piece of information here.in DOC class:
Code:
public function Seed():void{
grow1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onGrow, false,0,true);
[code]........
Consider the following function:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}
What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}
so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.
The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.
I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.
So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?

I can't for the life of me figure out how this works. I have tried several different methods found in these forums and none work. I am trying to duplicate an MC 11 times - that works fine. But the MC has a dynamic text box centered on it. I would like the first one to say "1900" and each one after to be increased by 10. So the second one says "1910", the third says "1920" and so on. I have this code on an MC called "timeline". The MC I am trying to duplicate is called "bar" and is with "timeline":

I am trying to make an application that will load XML data into a scrolling info bar and then continually scroll the information without a break (so there is no gap in the display). The textField and container movie clips are created dynamically and then animated once the XML has loaded. I am having problems though as when I choose to duplicate the MC that has the text loaded into it I can't see the text. I have tried two methods of duplicating the movie clip:

I create a button(MC) and want to duplicate it and easily change the text inside this button... basically I have an mc that acts as a button so inside the mc I have text that I added that animates on mouse rollover. Now I duplicate this mc in the library go into the mc and want to change the text, and when I do, the text in the original button also changes. This happens because the text is a Tween so it's using the same tween from the library for the new button. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I don't see anyway other than typing in the text again in the new button and animating it again.
View 6 RepliesHow would i go about changing dynamic text (with the var "text") in my mc when duplicating it?Heres my code:
[AS]_root.button._visible = 0;
label = new Array("Home", "Service", "Portfolio", "Contact");
length = label.length;
for(i=0; i < length; i++) {
[code]....
My problem is the 2nd to last line: _root.name.text = label[i]; How could I get this to be dynamic so I could put a variable like "name" in the path of the new mc rather than writing:
_root.b0.text = label[0];
_root.b1.text = label[1];
I've created a form-like input to receive user input in the form of text in a frame. Now, I would like to pass that input into an external text file. I hope to get help to implement this. Let's assume that this app will be only used locally and not over the web.
View 0 RepliesI'm wondering if purepdf has the ability to save formatted text from a user-inputted text field. If so, how is this achieved? From what I understand, purepdf is basically iText, and I believe iText has the ability to parse HTML and save formatted text into a PDF. Does purepdf have that same functionality that I can tap into and plug in 'textfield.htmlText' somewhere?

I have created a simple Flash object that presents some text; it's a rotation of testimonials. The client wants to be able to edit/add to the items. He's going to maintain the site once it's handed off through the use of Dreamweaver; I've used templates to lock down the sensitive areas, and as it's a CSS based design there are many.
Is there a way to get rotation of text without having to create the media to do it? I've tried to explain that when a page loads, it's loaded -- it's the media's job to play the pretty things. He says someone told him this would be a piece of cake in various content management softwares, but I'm convinced they meant he could edit one area of text as often as he wanted to add/change the text; not that when you loaded the page you could sit there and it would display, sequentially, N number of text bits while you sat there and watched. But I'm asking, because I'm not a genius here, and maybe there's some way to fit this bill that I'm not thinking of.
I'm wondering if there is a way I can see if a user is typing into a input field.

I need to create a file that the user inputs text which looks easy enough, but I need to strictly define what they can put in.
It is a right/wrong answer so for example:
I would need them to enter the following sentence exactly: Hello my name is dog.
Is there a way I can prevent users from delete a text or a character? Say I want the textfield to always show the "$" in front of the number they enter. I was successfully able to do it when they click backspace or delete and then started typing any alphabets. BUT no luck when they highlight the entire textfield and typed the number. The "$" will get deleted, which I don't want that.
