ActionScript 2.0 :: CS4, As2, _root.attachMovie Doesn't Work With Input Text?
Oct 16, 2010
what i need to do is create an instance of an input text box when a button or key is pressed. However as of yet i've been unable to no matter what i try, for some reasons i guess it's properties don't carry over the same way a static object does.

on my website I have a contact form where you should be able to type into an input text box. For some reason, my website won't allow me to click and edit the input text box. Could the problem be that it is within a movieclip?

I made a contact form in my flash website, but for some reason, you can't type in the input text boxes I made. I already have embedded the text, so that isn't the problem. I think maybe it's related to the code I have, or maybe I need a code to target the text box. One more key detail: The text box is within a movieclip. If I don't put it in the movieclip, it works fine, but I need it inside of the movieclip.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm unable to add a textfield to any movieclip that I've attached to _root. Here's a generic example:
_root.attachMovie("generic_mc", "clip1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
rect1._x = 200;
rect1._y = 200;

This is a situation: i have a index.swf in which i have holder movieclip in which i load gallery.swf (where i load pictures in it's holder mc). The thing is i used _root in gallery.swf so when i publish it separately it works, but it doesn't work within index.swf. I suppose there is a scope problem where _root adresses _root timeline of index.swf instead of gallery.swf when index.swf is published and gallery.swf loaded inside. I tried to solve this by putting: Code: this._lockroot=true; inside of gallery.swf but now my Flash 8 player just freezes when index.swf is published and gallery.swf loaded into it but i have no idea why? What would be other solution for this problem?

I am trying to attach the scrollBar component that ships with F7/+. I can use this
ActionScript Code: this.attachMovie("UIScrollBar","scrollBar",this.getNextHighestDepth());
and that works fine. However, if I do the below script it doesn't work. Why?
ActionScript Code:
function initializeElements(g) {
if (loaded == filesize) {[code].....
Everything works fine, except the attaching of the scrollBar.Like I said, it works if i just do the this but when i use target_mc it doesn't work.

I have a problem with an input text created dynamicly into a MC that is into a MC that is into a MC (...) So it's, let's say:_root.myclipA.myclipB.myclipC.myinputtext now as my input text isn't on _root, i can't get focus on it (i can never add any text). How can i do to be able to input some text in that textfield? It cannot be moved elsewhere because i drag myclipC when i press myclipB...

been away from Flash too long and am probably making a stupid error in spotting it! (ActionScript 2.0, Flash CS3.)I have only a single scene, with a looping frame and movie clips displayed via attachMovie.Within each movie clip instance is a looping script that does the following in a certain circumstance:
Code:
trace (GAME OVER TEST);
_root.gotoAndStop("gameover");

I've seen similar threads but couldn't find one with the exact same issue. I've a PDF / Word document with arabic copy when I try pasting that text in flash all the joined letters start appearing as individual letters.I've tried the dynamic text box solution in which you create a dynamic text box and assign the text to its variable that doesn't work. But strangely when you write arabic in dynamic text box (with out assigning the text to the variable) and double click to select the text box and its content the text starts appearing fine .. but when published its again all individual letter.

I'm working on a flash file that is a video clip and beneath the video, there's an input text field where a user can get the code to embed the video in their page (youtube code). The problem is that when I have plain text in the text field it works, but when I try to use html code, I get an actionscript error and it doesn't show up. This is my actionscript (leaving out the full url):

just downloaded the flash cs4 trail, very nice some of the irritating IDE bugs are gone that i had on my mac, and didn't had on windows. but enough of that
The first project i checked out, a bug jumps up.when you create a texfield on stage, make it html text. set it to verdana or arial regular, emded the basic symbols.give the textfield a name and try to make some bold text using actionscript.
Code:
my_textfield.htmlText = "regular text, <b>bold text</b>"
preview it and every thing stays regular.the only way to get right is to embed the font styles in your library. but for some of the more special symbols, that's not good enough.that's the only reason i re-installed flash cs3, after thinking maybe that was the problem.

I have a simple text fade movie clip that will "play" but won't work when I "Test Movie." What am I missing? I don't regularly use Flash as of yet, and have been successful before, but this is ridiculous - and I know I'm probably missing something very simple.

I have a MC with a text form with several input and combo boxes (flash <=> php) it as a scroll and it works fine, except when I put the MC under a mask. It still scroll's but nothing shows inside the input boxes when I type on it. Is this "normal" procedure for flash or It's a bug of some kind?

i've a problem with a 3D animation of a dynamic textF (a textfiled nested in a MC). Everything goes fine, but the quality of the text, at the end of the animation, slow really down. It's like the AAliasing doesn't work fine (it's setted on "Antialising for animation", but if i use anyone else, the result doesn't change).
