ActionScript 3.0 :: Input Textfield Focus - Get The Dredded Error 1009 When The Code Invokes TypeNames?

Jan 15, 2012

I'm developing a series of learning aids and the final screen requires the user to input some text.I have it working correctly but now need to make it a little more user friendly.At the moment the only way for the user to input the text is to click in each box. There are a total of 6 input text boxes.I would like to direct the user to a particular input text and then have them be able to use the tab key or the enter key or mouse clicks to proceed.As the first step I added the stage.focus = inputStarName1. See code below. As soon as I added the stage.focus = inputStarName1 line I get the dredded error 1009 when the code invokes TypeNames.What do I need to do to get rid of this error?

Actionscript 3 :: Capture Keypress Regardless Of The Current Focus?

May 15, 2011

When I add a keypress event listener to the stage, it does not fire when the focus is on another object. How can I listen for any keypress event regardless of the focus?

Just setting the useCapture parameter to true does not work . I think it's because no event is bubbled up if I do not add a listener to every object on the stage.

Do I really have to add an eventlistener to every object to capture a keypress event regardless of the current focused object?

ActionScript 2.0 :: KeyPress Not Working But Code Works On Button

Jan 28, 2009

[code]It works fine when I press the button but not when I press the enter key.Just to set the context I want users to be able to use enter to enter an answer into a grid before moving on to the next cell. My cells are all labelled A1, A2 etc so that I didn't get confused. As I am and will always be a newbie I couldn't figure out a function to do what I wanted so came up with what is probably a long winded way around: store the textfield instance name in an array and then call the item in the array in conjunction with setFocus - like I say it works when I click the button (which I intend to hide off screen).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Focus On Input Text?

Feb 12, 2011

I'm trying to give focus to a text input with instance name "input" so that when I run the movie, there is a blinking cursor where the input is so that the user has some visual cues. I also changed the background and made it only accept numbers. This code is in an init() method, which is run from the constructor

input.backgroundColor = 0xFFCCCCCC;
input.restrict = "0-9";
stage.focus = input;

The first two lines of this work fine, the background is grey and it only accepts numbers as expected, however the third line doesn't work. The input text is not given the focus. Once I click on the input text then I can see the blinking cursor. I also tried this.stage.focus=input;, but that didn't work either.

Actionscript 3 :: Set The Focus Of A Input-TextField Without Having A Stagereference?

May 9, 2011

I got a text-InputField:

var textfield:TextField = new TextField();
textfield.text = "";
textfield.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
addChild(textfield);

because this textfield don't reside in the main-class, I don't have a stage-reference for doing:

textfield.stage.focus = textfield;
or
stage.focus = textfield

How can I force the textfield to display the blinking line at position zero?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Focus Back For Keyboard Input?

Sep 22, 2009

found only one thing that seemed to be on the lines of what I am having issues with:

stage.focus = this;

My problem: The the flash app I am working on, some of the controls are done with the keyboard. At certain points, you need to click on an on screen button to continue. When I do this, it seems the focus is lost from where it was, and I can no long use keyboard actions (such as the spacebar KeyboardEvent that works prior to clicking the mouse)

I will admit that I am a newcomer to Flash (only played with it for about a month now), and I don't know much about the focus stuff. Basically, I want to know how to set the focus back to where it was after the buttons are clicked.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keeping Focus On Textfield Type Input

Feb 24, 2009

On my stage I have an MC with a textfield of type input. I have another MC on stage with the control for the input like bold, and italic. When my textfield has focus and I click on one of the control MC buttons it loses focus. I know I can reset focus with stage.focus but wanted to know if there is a better way. Like disable the control MC from taking the focus off the input text. I thought this was not the behavior. I thought that only another input type control can steal focus until now.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Focus From An Input Text Field?

Dec 5, 2009

I have a textfield and a button component.The problem is when the textfield is focused and i click anywhere on the stage it remains focused and no focusout event occurs. I know that it's because component classes implement IFocusManager(Component) interface and the TextField class does not .I do not want to create a new instance of FocusManager class or implement the IFocusManager interface in a custom class. Is there any way to disable the focusmanager ? The deactivate method does not seem to work in as3!

Code:
import fl.managers.FocusManager
var fm:FocusManager=new FocusManager(this)
fm.deactivate()

Tried this code and it does not work:[code]Right now when i click on it, the text prompt text remains and the cursor shows one line below the prompt text.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Taking Off Focus Or Disabling Keyboard Input For Combo Box?

May 25, 2007

So i have a combo box that a user can go a select different UI's with. In another pane i have a map that the user can press the arrow keys the move up, down, left right etc.

Only problem is that once i have selected a map from the combo box, the combo box stays in focus so that when i press an arrow key, the map moves but it also scrolls through my combo box.

Any way i can disable keyboard input to the combo box or remove the focus on the combo box?

I've tried creating a dummy button on the stage called "dummy" and when the change event happens on the combo box i switch the focus using

Selection.setFocus("dummy");

but then i get a recursion error and it stops my scripts.
