Can I have a control of cursor position in the landing email program when I use mailto? I think it looks more professional when the cursor goes into Subject field rather than falling right behind my email address in To field. The following snippet that I tried didn't make any difference. [code]...
View 3 RepliesBasically I want an MC to appear or disappear depending on the mouse proximity to it. Say for example I have a nav which only becomes visible as the mouse moves to the right hand side and then disappears as it moves away.
Previously I have used the old invisible button trick that triggers the MC as the mouse moves over it. Yes im well aware that is frowned upon and is not 100% effective but as of yet thats the only method I know.
Is there a method to set the caret position within a RichEditableText control? The control's contents can contain errors that the user must fix which are navigated though via Next/Previous buttons, and during the navigation I would like to set the caret cursor to the end of each error within the text.
View 1 RepliesI need to handle diagraphs and then convert them on the fly to the proper unicoderepresentation. For example when the user types in:SxMy app needs to replace it with:ow, I've been able to do the replacement no problem. The issue though is that once I've done the replacement, the cursor goes to the beginning of the textbox rather than the end.As I'm trying to update the user's text on the fly, this obvious doesn't work.

How I can get this html formatted text to display correctly in the body of an email, when I am using mailto:? I am trying to avoid using a PHP aggregate, so I can use the mailto: and have it open the users email program directly. Here is what my code looks like, with the style of string that my client would like to use to populate the body of the email .
Code:
public function handleEmailClick(e) { ......
var emailVar = "mailto:"+""+"?subject="+emailSubject+"&body="+big String;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(emailVar);
navigateToURL(request);
}
I would like to know if there's a way you can take a screenshot of a flash object embedded in a page, and then email the PNG or JPG using the mailto: form submission to a specific address. So far I have investigated various javascript methods, but none of them have worked.
View 3 Repliesthere are many tutorials out there on how to use this function, what I am trying to do and can't seem to find a tutorial on is using navigateToURL with the "mailto" email address being populated from an XML list.
For example you have a list of offices and each office has a lead. I want to populate a List component with the office name, and when clicked I want it to open the email client and populate the To: and Subject line from the xml file.
What I have so far populates the Office name into the list and when clicked the mail client will open but doesnt populate the To because I can't figure it out. I believe I need to specify a var to pull the email address from the xml list, I just cant seem to get it right.

I am using AS3 on a website. Part of the AS has been setup by an external source and I ma now updating and adapting it. My knowledge of AS is limited but slowly expanding.
Currently the site is a main flash file with all the content delivered via a main.as file and then populated via images and videos held in folders on the web.
In one section we have an email link.
I was using Email[url]... and it worked fine. It launched the email program and put the email address in ready to go.
When I added the subject element as below[url]...
it now does what it should with the email program but it also opens a blank webpage.
What can I do to get rid of the blank web page opening?
I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.
View 8 RepliesI am using the following code to open my client email program and I want the address, subject field and body text completed.
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMessage);
var subject="My Subject"var body="This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. "var to="me@address.net"
function sendMessage(event:MouseEvent):void {var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:"+to+"?subject=" +subject+ "&body="+body);navigateToURL(email, "_self");}
The problem is no matter what I have tried I cannot get the subject and body text to show any text. The email client open and the correct address is shown. Is this a problem with trying to run it locally and not from server or is there a problem with the code?
Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).
View 2 RepliesIs it possibile to set the position of the mouse cursor? This is what I would like to do: when the user presses the mouse button over a movieclip, the movieclip starts dragging and on enterframe the cursor is positioned in the middle of the movieclip (don't tell me about lockcenter because I can't use it this way since my movieclip registration point is set at its top left corner). Basically, I would like to be able to force the cursor to reach the center of the movieclip when the user clicks it. Is this possible?
View 4 RepliesI will be creating an animation with a jpeg image as the background. The animation will consist of moving lines.
When I place my curser over the animation box, and have the lines animate. When I place my curser off the aniamtion box, I would like the animation to stop playing.
The curser placement would be the trigger for the animation.
I have a combobox implementation as follows - Based on user input (min 2 chars) in the editable combobox, the data provider is refreshed and drop-down opened, showing different data sets as user input varies.Problem is that after drop-down opens, the cursor moves back to the beginning. So for instance, the user types in "ab", and wants to type in "c" to form the search string "abc". Due to the cursor re-setting its position to 0, the search string instead ends up as "cab".Here's what I tried already (doesn't work) : textInput.mx_internal::getTextField().setSelection(index, index);
where index = length of user input. This selects text from index to index (which effectively un-selects text) and is supposed to place the cursor at the end.
I am making something in Actionscript 3, where people can modify a piece of text, within a TextArea.Now, it's easy to get the typed character, but using event.getChar.
But, I would also like to know where the character was typed: the (text)cursor position.I've read about that it's easy to do with a TextField, however, I want to use a TextArea for a few reasons:
I've read about it being possible with a TextField, but I'm not sure how I would make that into an input field.
How can I make a TextField behave like a TextArea?
Does anyone know of a way to return the position of the cursor in a input textfield? Can it be done at all? More specifically I need to know the y-value of the cursor somehow.
Have looked through the AS3 documentation, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

View 4 RepliesIn my app, the user clicks on an object, which centers the object on the screen. The user's cursor stays where he/she clicked. I find that it is kind of disorienting to have the object move without the cursor. For the user's convenience, I would like to move the cursor to the center of the stage as well.
View 14 RepliesI have a project where you click on a movieclip and it creates a new movie on the stage and I do a startdrag on that movie.Rather I would like to, just to test if I could get it to work I figured out the x and y position roughly on one of the movies and was able to get the startdrag to work(YaY!!), however I would like the created movieclip if possible to be created centered(center x and y position of the created movie) on the cursor point.

The clip is long and it have a lot of thumbnails and when it reaches the end of the stage has to stop.

View 4 RepliesI'm building part of an UI that suggests certain words based on to the user's input. (Quit like Google's suggestions) It works quite well but one detail bothers me: When I have a list of suggestions I highlight the list-items by listening to the arrow up and down keys. When the fist element is highlighted, and the user presses the up arrow, I want the cursor to be in the Text(Input)Field again, but at the last position.
(I removed the focus from the InputField not to move the cursor in my singel line field to the first position when the up-arrow is pressed)
I set the cursor to the last Position using setSelection() but as it is the field receives the key-press after my event callback is executed and the pressing of the up-arrow in a single line field does what it always does, it places the cursor at the first position.
I considered using the CHANGE event, but as the arrow key does not actually change the content of the TextField, that is not working. Still I think that the solution might be along that way, as the CHANGE event is/would be at the end of the event-chain, where I need to do the repositioning of the cursor.
I'd to insert date on a richtexteditor when the user click on a button.This part is easy, more difficult, how to insert this on cursor position. Cursor position may be on the beginning, middle or end of the text.
