I have a Runtime Input Textfield nested in a Dynamic draggable/scalable Movie Clip
How can I make the text input affect the resizing of the movie clip?
I got this... that puts trace on the textfield after the movie has been exported.[code]...
I want to make a draggable movie clip with an input text box in it. It's going to be a "Make your own comic" game, where you can type in the speach bubbles what you want the characters to say.
View 7 RepliesI really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

Imagine I have a movie clip on the main timeline that has text in it. If I use the free transform tool on this clip, it resizes the movie and the text within.
However, if I resize the clip using AS2 e.g. clip._height = x; then the clip is resized but the text isn't.
Is there an easy way of achieving the effect that the transform tool has using AScript or do I have to set all the text params separately when I resize the movie
I am trying to load text that someone enters on the main timeline into a dynamic text field embedded in a movie clip.
variable name of the input text is "EmailName"
instance name of the dynamic text within the movie clip is named "txtEmailName" it's variable name is "EmailName"
I've been trying to contol a movie clip by inputting certain text. I've tried different bits that I've found online, but I can't seem to get it right.I want it so that it only if the text is (for the purpose of this) "Test" and you press enter does it call the function "doSomething" else it doesn't allow you to enter it, or it calls a different function.This is the code I have:Quote:
myText.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,han dler);
function handler(event:KeyboardEvent){
if(event.charCode == 13)

why the height has become 100 instead of 22, like the textInput. Right now I just have to store the height before adding stuff to it since components seem to "corrupt" it.
Tearing my hair out on this, and it seems like it shouldn't be that difficult.I've got an input text box (opAnswerTxt) that I've added to a movie clip (questAns) using AS3:That's fine -- I'm able to type text into the text field. Now I need to trace this text. (Ultimately, I will want to capture the text in a variable and then reuse the text in a dynamic text field, but just tracing to make sure I can get the text first.)I added a button (opSaveBtn) - also to the MC - and added an event listener to the button:[code]My output is the original default text I have in the text box, rather than the text I just typed in.When I add the input text box to the stage, rather than to the MC, it works fine.[code]

I'm trying to do something that seems simple, but I've been looking all over for the right information and I can't seem to find it.I've got an input text field and various movieclips. On the click of a button or hitting "enter", i am able to trace what is typed into the input text field.I want certain inputted numbers to trigger movie clip events (gotoAndStop, etc).

and there is no default value. i was search from internet and have solution to set mousechildren to false,but if i do it,i could use my input field second question is how i acces my input text if i use movieclipname.inputtextname.text it got error., i can use getChildByName because i add many of this movieclip from library.
I'm updating a game in a Flash, using Actionscript 2 (what it was originally built in). It's a quiz game with different categories. At the end of each test is a results page showing their score for each of all the categories; each score being saved and displayed each time it's brought up. I need to have a print button added to this page, which I was able to do with
Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
print(drawingArea, "bframe")
}
And labeling the frame of what I want to print #p. This works, but the drawback is, I can do that on each results page frame for each category; the error that results from multiple frames labeled the same thing, 'causes the dynamic text fields displaying the score to go blank when the print button is clicked. Even if it didn't, it would still print all of the frames with that label, printing multiple copies of the same results screen. Initially I planned to tie all the quizzes to a single results page; one results page, one results frame, only one frame with the #p label, and is the only thing printed.
The problem there is, I need to be able to have a back button that goes back to a point in the category the user just finished; so they can take the test again if they want, or take another part of the test in that category. So my idea was to put all of the dynamic text fields and the print button, inside a movie clip. All the text boxes have maintained their names and have embedding enabled. All of the actionscript, on any level of that frame, has been placed accordingly into the movie clip - and yet the dynamic text boxes will not populate with the score like they do outside the movie clip.
Worst still, the print button wont work at all inside the movie clip. Clearly I'm missing something, but I can't be that far off base in thinking this would work, am I? If I can make the movie clip show the results and work the print button, then I can use instances of the movie clip in as many frames as I need, but the only place the script or label for the print button will exist, is inside the movie clip. This is the script for the button putting the data into the text fields.
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("resultsGK"){
warningMsg2 = clear ();
if (saveRecordName_var == "" | saveRecordName_var == undefined){
warningMsg2 = "Name doesn't exist,

im just working on my new project. All what i need is, i want to check input text using button, if the value on the input text box is equals 1, trace("true"), else trace ("false").
here's the example link [URL]
the problem is, when im trying to input text to 1, it's always goes to else, which means false. also all number. sorry for my bad english. here's what i did
var check:Boolean = false;
var input1:String;
var answer:String = "1";

I would think this would be pretty simple, but I don't really know anything about actionscript 3.0. Please put this into terms I can understand. Basically, I want to be able to input text in a text box and have the movie jump to another frame based on what is typed into the box after the "enter" key is pressed. For example, If you type "Frame 2" and press enter, It could go to frame 2 and stop.
Additionally, I want to beable to have it control movie clips within the frame. For example, if you type "MovieClip1 Frame 3" it could seemingly transform an individual element in the frame by making the movie clip go to and stop at it's third frame.Finally, in the case that something is typed that doesn't match up (that the movie "doesn't understand,") I would like a movie clip to switch from being invisible (frame 1 of the movie clip) to showing an error message (frame 2 of the movie clip).The idea is, I want to make a visual text-based adventure game. Like, you could type "go north" and it would go to frame 3 where there's the northern part of the village.
I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I have been importing illustrator .ai artwork into my project, and along the way, something wierd has happened with resizing stuff. If I am putting font iside a movieclip that is being used for a button, I can put the same size font into two different moviclips and they are different sizes. I somehow zero them out so they are 100% at the size I want or do I have to resize in another porgram and then reimport into Flash?Am I missing a magic button here?

I am trying to import a jpeg image into an empty movie clip and then resize the image.I can scale it, and position it but I can't resize it. Somebody suggested creating a movieclip in Flash first and giving it an instance name. Then use loadMovie to place the jpeg into that movieclip. This did work and allowed me to resize it but only the movieclip would be resized which in turn resized the image proportionally.I still couldn't specify exact dimensions of the image - only the movieclip.
