ActionScript 2.0 :: Check If Text Is Entered In To A Textinput Box?
Sep 23, 2009
I'd like to make a login page with a user name and pwd field. And each time a user enters a character in to the user name text input box a small logo at the bottom of the page rotates in a direction for each character entered. how to detect when a character is entered in to the input box.
How can I check if the value entered in the textbox is number or not. Dont want to restrict the user to enter number by putting restrict etc. just want to validate at the end How?
I have an .swf file that is going to serve as a login for a new website being built. The .swf will contain a movie symbol and two text fields underneath it. The idea is for the movie symbol to play at different points on its timeline based on what is being typed in the text fields below. For instance, when someone is typing in their user name, the movie file will start at a certain point on the timeline and when they type in their password, it will jump to another point in the timeline. I figure thats the easy part and I would settle for just that.
The complicated part is this: Ultimately, I want the movie symbol to jump to those points on its timeline based on how many characters have been typed into the text fields. For example, if someones user name is "christoper", I need the file to play the movie once someone has typed in "chri" and then jump to the next section of its timeline after they've typed in "stopher", and so on down through the password.
I understand how to load external variables from a .doc file, but is it possible to save any info that has been entered in a field (ie. input text variables "saved" to an external file) or is Flash the way to go at all? It's basically a mini personal calendar component that is part of a bigger service.
I am making a piece of software that requires me to write a single number or letter in an input text box and then this text affects some other things on the screen. Does anyone know how to make flash realise that I have entered a number into the box?
using actionscript 2, and perhaps some XML or whatever, is there a simple way to save selections or text entered by a client? I would hate to have to learn 2000 pages of another language or default to a "megaman" encryption technique example: [URL]
Well i have basically 2 input boxes, one is small and one is very big which has a scrollbar next to it. But for some reason, when you type text into the big input box, the text typed is size 20 around there; even though i have set the text size to be only 10.Its also on multiline so everything should be fine but i don't know why its not working?! Is there something i have to change?is will the scrollbar automatically be scrollable if too much text is entered? or do i have to put in some actionscript to make it do that.
I have a dataGrid with a custom itemRenderer. Everytime I tab at least two times on the dataGrid, the cell below the one I taped gets selected. This doesn't happen if I uncomment the code in the method saveBackDataGridContent().The second problem is that if the Line is shorter than the entered text, a horizontalScrollBar will get active, although I set setStyle("horizontalScrollPolicy", "off");...
I'm trying to isolate words entered by the user into an "Input Text" (command). In a function that executes every time a key is pressed, I set a string, "newTxt", to the text entered.[code]This works fine; I'm able to check the string "newTxt". However, this checks the entire command rather than one word. When I replace line 2 with:[code]it freezes. In theory, it should add every letter until it reaches a space or ends, right? Could anyone find my mistake? Also, how would I go about checking for the second word (after a space)?
Iam Jennifer, Iam having a doubt in Flash, I hope that you are going to solve my problem, Iam taking 3 Static text fields as Name, Age and Country and besides each and every static text fields i have taken 3 input text fields with different instance names, when i enter my Name, Age and Country details in the input text fields and after entering those details if user clicks the submit button the data should be send to some mail address, is it possible?

I have a textInput component on stage. There is also push button component. the user types his name in the textInput box, and when he presse the button it goes to the next frame, transferring the value of the textInput box to a dynamic text box on frame 2. The dynamic text box just gives me "undefined". here's the code:
I have a problem with writing arabic text in the TextInput Dynamically. when i run the swf file i can write arabic in the search textinput, but when i try it online it write symbols and mad characters just like these " E - E H / E - E / "
So the real problem is the lack of an onReleaseOutside function. I found some examples of how to bypass this during a drag function but it was not applicable for a text input.The problem is that when a user selects some text in textinput and mouses off the application area and then mouses up, I'm getting a problem that the textinput keeps thinking that the mouse down is actively selecting text in the textinput and continually overwrites the characters being entered in the textinput. in the search bar of the live store on the page, type some text, then highlight it all and don't let up on the mouse until you are outside the store.I finally hacked some junk together so I can tell if the mouse goes off the stage using some code like.
var x = stage.mouseX;var y = stage.mouseY;if(x < 0 || y <0 || x >stage.stageWidth || y > stage.stageHeight)I'd like to just make the textinput stop thinking it should be highlighting text so that even if the user scrolls out of the applet and mouses up that the text input still overwrites what is in the search bar and functions as normal.
I extended a mx.controls.TextInput to create a custom component with a different behavior.I'm trying to set the text property on the keyDownHandler(), and for some reason it doesn't work as I expected. The text on the component just kinda ignore the change.I'm using Flex 3.6.Down here is a simple example code that explains what's going on:

How can I color words in spark:TextInput with two or more colors? I did it with mx:TextInput with htmlText property but i can not find it in spark component.
I'm trying to convert an MXML component to an ActionScript Class. The component consists of a Form with a TextInput, TextArea, and two buttons - Save and Cancel, and a Validator for the TextInput, and other logic to handle events that occur. This component is currently extended by several other components. Now, in the MXML component binding the TextInput text property to a property in an Object was very easy: <mx:TextInput text="{_itemToEdit.name}" />
But in ActionScript, I'm creating the TextInput and setting the text property before the Object is set, and the TextInput is not being updated: public var itemToEdit:Object = {}; private var nameInput:TextInput = new TextInput(); public function MyClass() { nameInput.text = itemToEdit.name; }
How can I make sure that the TextInput text property is bound to the specified property in the Object?
I'm using Flashbuilder 4. I have a Spark TextInput control, and I'm implementing a "Copy" button that will copy the selected text only from within this control to the clipboard (pretty much like the RMB Copy does).
