View 1 RepliesI have created three input textfields for the first, middle and last names in a form and then to pass the input to 3 dynamic texboxes, the middle name is optional so someone might not fill it out and the dynamic textbox would show "undefined", how to make the unfilled input textfield result in a blank/empty dynamic textbox?
View 10 RepliesI open up Flash CS5 and make a simple INPUT TEXTFIELD. I run the program, and I can't even use all the characters. It is under ARIAL font. This is literally destroying my soul. Look, if I want to embed fonts, I will embed fonts like in CS4. What is the crazy idea that now we have to embed every font we want to use? Is that how this is going? If I want to use ARIAL, I literally have to embed it? Did APPLE get their hands on Adobe developers and do something seriously this sick to the CS5 world?
I want to make simple input textFields like in the past, without having to embed fonts.
drawPanel is a movieclip which contains 23 textfields which I've created in the lib. 23 textfields has their instance name.. var1, var2.. etc... I need to ref dynamically to the textfields to input the characters. I see people using getDefinitionByName however can't get that to work.

I have the following problem. I created a very simple log in with two input textfields and a submission button. The problem is that people would type in their log in informations and then hit enter, which results in a page break for the password input textfield. I tried a few things like setting the input textfield to single line which did not make a difference. Then I tried to apply to on enter key action but had to realise that you can only apply this action to a buuton and not a textfield. Any help would be apreciated. I am working with flash 8 on a mac with osx...
on (release) {
if (name.text == "student" && password.text == "student") {
gotoAndStop("workPlacements");
} else if (name.text == "admin" && password.text == "admin") {
gotoAndStop("workPlacements");
} else
false_txt.text = "invalid password or username"
}
I have a problem with input textfield. The problem is, I have 2 input textfields, and a button. When the button is released, it will check if the 2 input textfields is filled. If they are filled, the AS will clean the input textfields, but next time the button is released, it don't check if the input fields are filled How can I restart, refresh the input textfields? So they are like "new ones".
View 4 RepliesI added this to my document class:
Code:
private var title_txt:TextField;
private var artist_txt:TextField;
private var myFormat:TextFormat;
myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.align = "center";
[Code] .....
The problem now is that changes of myFormat (in size or color) don't have any effect on the text in the text fields. Why is this and how can I improve this? Did I forget to import a certain class again?
Is it possible to somehow include smileys in dynamic or input textfields in flash?
View 4 RepliesThose movieclips are linked to a simple custom class I wrote which extends movieclip.They were created in the IDE, not created with code. The border is applied in the property inspector and is visible in in the IDE before publishing.The textfields *are* there, I can type in them, but I need the white box and border to be visible.The white box and and border appear fine in player 9+ when published for 9+, but when published any lower the borders and box disappear
View 1 RepliesIm having an odd problem--I have 5 input textfields on the stage, but for some reason when run in order to input text within the first two fields I have to click within those fields from around its middle all the way to the right.Otherwise, no caret shows up and no typing displays.The other fields all work fine--ie, I can click at their leftmost point and get a caret and start typing..I even used the same textfield(#3) to create fields 1 and 2 and still I have to click about midway or to the right to get the caret.
View 3 RepliesI have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

View 2 Repliesthe last of many problems, is that at the very end of the test, you're shown your score, and you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever. The problem is, the input text box will not let you type in it. If you mouse over it, the mouse stays a pointer, you don't get the text tool. If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:
Code:
//
function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {

This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?
I'm working on an interactive poetry project. I have 49 textfields displayed in a 7x7 grid. The properties are stored in an array. Here is the code for that. For the purposes of demonstration I place the character "S" as text in each field. This code works as intended.
var instances:Array = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < 49; i++) {
var j_inst:TextField = new TextField();
j_inst.text = "S";
[code]....
The problem occurs when I want to change the text. When it's triggered the text simply disappears. I have no idea why and I'm running out of ideas. I've tried without the embedded font but to no avail. Changing other text properties like instances[j].x works but whenever I change the text I lose it.
function ChangeText(e:TimerEvent):void {
for (var j:int = 0; j < 49; j++) {
instances[j].text = "X";
}
}

View 3 RepliesThis happends in a *quite heavy* flashproject at work. And what's even more interesting is that it doesn't happend every time. It seem's to be at random. What happends is that text in textfields would move ~1px in X or Y. Have anyone else encountered this?
I thought that it was the layout code that sometimes was updated but no luck with that. And it is not that the text is getting reset either. But it seem's to happend on mouse-input ( press / onRelease ).
This has been tested on different computers and it moved on all, nut in different ways.
