Is there a way to detect if a user has clicked on a textbox or if a certain textbox is active? IM NOT USING MX 2004 COMPONENTS. Im using just MX components.
is there anyway way possible to apply actions to a button something like this...on(right click);Gotoandstop(1)so that when you rightclick the button, it will go somewhere? Ive been looking with no avail.
I'm making the simplest swf for a friend who has real problems remembering the actions of a Left and Right click with the mouse. So I would like to show text when "Right" click is detected and the same for a Left click. This at first seemed an easy project but the right mouse detection has got me baffled.
Is it possible to detect when a user is clicking while simultaneously pressing a button on the keyboard? For instance, if a user presses "a" on the keyboard and then clicks on a specific movie clip, I'd like to trigger an animation.
I'm working with a MovieClip ("mainMenuItem") that is linked to a Class ("GenericMenuItem.as") that uses attachMovie to add another movieclip ("Arrow") to mainMenuItem as follows:mcArrow = this.attachMovie(prefix+"Arrow", "_Arrow_symbol", this.getNextHighestDepth());I'm able to use on(release) within the Class definition to capture clicks on the mainMenuItem component, but haven't been able to find a way to detect a click on the "Arrow" library item that gets attached to that component.
Is there a way where in if I click outside the textbox the blinking cursor will go away? so users have to click on the box before typing. then click away to and the blinking will be gone.
I know that datagrid can detect changes of single mouse click with
//add listener myDataGridList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, myDataGridListChange); public function myDataGridListChange(e:Event):void{ trace(myDataGridList.selectedItem.id); }
but can they detect double mouse click?My purpose of doing this is that, if the user double click on a datagrid row, I need it to return me value of myDataGridList.selectedItem.id, so that I'm able to continue to proceed to the next stage of my game.
I am making the board game Shogi in actionscript 2 and I have a question on how to detect a particular imput.I have a movie clip on the stage, I want it so that if I hold down the keyboard button "p" and then click on the movie clip, it will go to the movie clip's frame 2 (not the entire flash project's frame 2, just the particular icon's frame 2. I need this because I am using movie clips as game pieces and in Shogi, certain game pieces can be promoted. I also was wondering how to detect what frame it is on.
I'm attempting to put together a 'French Accents' keypad (basically a few buttons that insert a French character into a textfield when pressed). At the moment im having the following issues with it:
The french characters always appear at the end of the string despite where the cursor is focused.
I can't get the cursor/caret to focus after any letter generated by a press of a button rather than a keyboard input.
Here is my current button code:
ActionScript Code: on(release){ //The getCaretIndex method returns the index of the blinking insertion point (caret) position.
I'm currently working on my first real software app. in flash. I'm currently still struggling with the checkboxes a bit. The problem is the math does not add up correctly I really don't know where I'm going wrong. Attached is the .fla. yes when you click on the different checkboxes it's supposed to add the total of each checkbox to the dynamic textbox.
I have a series of buttons that when clicked will enter a character into a dynamic textfield. Here is my code:
on (release) { //if the focus is on the answer text box if (_root.answerFocus) {
[code]...
This works but I dont know how to get round the following issues: Once a button is pressed the cursor moves out of the textbox once the character is placed inside, each character always goes to the end of my text line (as += implies but I can't find a workaround).
I am very new to flash and this site, and I have a problem in my flash movie. I have a textbox where you can enter a levelcode(the textbox is a input text called levelcode) and I have a button. When you hit the button you'll be redirected according to what the textbox says. But I can't figure out how. Here is what I currently have, I might be far off, but like I said, new to flash
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I have a button labeled 'blueButton' and I'd like to use an anonymous function to handle the click, like so:
blueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:MouseEvent):void { trace( "-----click detected-----" ); // now do other stuff });
Problem is, the click handler is called multiple times per click. The number of times called seems to be random (sometimes 2, sometimes 4, sometimes 3 etc). could I be missing something in my code, or maybe I set up the button wrong?
also I noticed that it seems to always get called once on the first click. After the first click is when it starts getting called additional times, maybe that has something to do with it?
I have read all threads and can not find a solution but i am not somebody with a lots of knowledge about actionscript so here is my problem i am using this script .

I created a movieclip animation that only activates when i rollover the movieclip button. I further extended the frames and created another frame animation that i active only when user clicks the button. So i have a roll over/out animation and click animation in the same movieclip in the same layer. Now the problem is that when i click on the button, its supposed to take me to another page, and it does, unfortunately without the click animation. That means after i click on the button its supposed to first finish the click animation and then go to another page. But when i click, it takes me to another page without showing the click animation
SO I tried the If function, but i seem to make a mistake somewhere and i dont know what to do. Now there is no error in script, but onw there is a problem in link, the button finishes the click animation but it does not go to the tarrgeted"about" frame. here's the code
I just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?
I want to listen both click and double click events for advanced data grid in flex. I have given double click enabled true and written the function in itemdoubleclick but only click is working but not itemdoubleclick
