View 3 RepliesI've got an input text and I want to add an event listener when up(or down) arrow is pressed. How can I make this work? input text has it's own -by default- listeners on up and down arrows.
What I want to do is when pressing up arrows focused in the input text to get previous messages and vice versa.
I'm trying to use the following code to add a listener to a text field which clears the field, but I'm getting the error: "Parameter Listener Must be Non-Null" This is the code I'm using:

I should add that this text fields starts out on stage as a dynamic text field. In the code above I am changing its type to input, so that might affect things. I am trying to set up the field so that when a user clicks in the text field, a cursor movie clip appears, and the text that was in the field is erased, and that when they leave the text field and click elsewhere, the text is accepted, the textfield converts back to a dynamic field, essentially "locking" the entered text into the field.
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

Is there any way to handle it, or it can be only controlled by Flash Player?
I have an input text box (txtInput) and a dynamic text box (dynTxt). I want the dynamic text to stay black but highlight a segment of that text in yellow depending on certain characters.

I m using a dynamic text field in my app. I have added one Event.Change Listener on it. When I type into it with the keyboard, the event triggers. But when i set some text in it when user performs some action, like textfieldName.text = "test" then the event does not triggers. In this type of situation where we are not using keyboard, which listener should be added to text field to trigger the change event?

I have a cart system I designed, in the check out process the user fills out their billing info and are given the option to check a box if the shipping info is the same.
I would like to have an event listener which looks for the box being checked and at which point changes the var's on the input texts for shipping to the ones used in billing info. So in essence checking the box will populate the shipping info fields.

View 2 RepliesUsing the text tool, I have made a Input Textbox with the instance name of voca2_pg and the other one is voca3_pg. It has a text inside: 1 and 11, respectively.Now I made a button that should send info to the input text that when I click the back button, text will change to a lower number, or when I click the next button it will change to a higher number. Example: (they are inside the textbox)
View 21 RepliesI am build an Flash program to drill elementary math students.My problem.I am having the students enter in a Input Text box the answer to a Mathematical equation, i.e. 1+1= Input Text Variable. My issue is when I check the answer to see if it is correct Actionscript 2.0 sees the entered Input as text not a numeric value so I cannot compare it against the calculated value. How do I change the input text into a numeric value. I have tried declaring the var as Number but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a search angine for an application I am developing. I need my list to update itself every time there is a change in the Input Text box (backspace or additional character). I have no errors but the function does not work the way I want it to.
The function compares letters in a specific position within my 2 strings (charAt(j)) and disregards the previous letters, plus it deos not "update" but only adding new strings to my list.

I have a text box which I want to display a certain text on it when it loads, say, "demotext", for example. However, I want it to clear that text when the user clicks on it and then only displays stars when they type (as if it has turned into a password box when they clicked on it). So far I only have this:
ActionScript Code:
cancelcount.onSetFocus = function() {
cancelcount.text = "";

how do you change the TAB order of text input boxes i want to tell it what box to go to next depending on which one it is on now making a login form ..
View 2 RepliesFor example. I have a particle system with a set number of particles active on the screen at any time "numOfParticles". I am trying to be able to change "numOfParticles" to define itself based on whatever number you input in the input_txt field. So far I am able to display the number of particles into the input text box:
Code:
input_txt.text = numOfParticles.toString();
Now I want to be able to change that value based on user preference.
So far I have:
Code:
function changeNumber(event:Event):void{
numOfParticles = input_txt;
}
change_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeNumber);
But it's not working. I don't think I have the proper identifiers, because I know I'm supposed to attribute the input text field as a ":Number" somehow...
I have 10 text input. (txtin1, txtin2, txtin3,.....) I going to change the maxChars for every text input but I going to do that dynamic in a loop. I have tried
ActionScript Code:
txtin[nr].maxChars=maxnr;
But nothing happened. I know that the variable "nr" and "maxnr" have a number.
I've got a form that the user enters numeric values in to a series of text Input fields. I want to allow the user to use the arrow keys in addition to the tab keys to control the active focus of the fields.
I set up a 2D array with the names of the input fields as values. I'm trying to call the name of the input field from the array and then assigning the focus, but I'm getting Error 1067 implicit coercion errors.
stage.focus=nextCellName;
stage.focus=prevCellName;
Code:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I 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:

I'm trying to extend the text input that comes in flex to support an icon, just like mac os x search text input has a grey circle aligned to the right, the text input has a addChild method, but it didn't work for me.
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 {

I want to monitor each charachter in a text box when a user inputs, eg. there name. If they type John, I want an image to dislplay J . o . h. n under the text box. I cannot seem to figure out how to monitor each letter individually. I could only get it working if i use seperate input boxes, so a input box for j, o, h & n as an example.Could someone point me in the right direrection. Here is the code Im trying to use at the moment.

This code works when I click in the text field and try to enter letters. ActionScript Code:
_root.InputTxt.text.restrict = "0-9"; However when I add this code to allow keyboard input, I can type other characters beside digits. Why is restrict not working?

I got an input function in witch i set all the variable i want to display. To make it clean i would like to input any number of vars without having to change my input function to avoid the "Expecting more/less arguments". Then i would like to get any type of var (bool num int ....) in the input and then check their type, instead of declaring the first input var being exclusively a number for example. Is that possible and how, don't know if i was clear,
View 5 RepliesI have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
View 3 Repliesi created an input text box that puts the users input into a global variable, but when i test it it gives me not only what i have typed in but all the html formatting for the font that my input text box has on it.I only want the text that i have typed in to go into the variable but the wackload of html is going in there too. ive tried a few different things, rewriting my code, recreating the text box, changing settings, dont know what im missing.
