ActionScript 2.0 :: Disable All Key Inputs
Feb 18, 2009
I am working on an app where I have 'windows' popping up and sometimes overlapping each other. This poses a particular problem that I have not yet been able to find a sollution for:Let's say I have a window called myOptions (a MC containing a form contructed by other MC's, TextFields, Objects etc.). Upon pressing the submit button, another window pops up. This is a custom built confirm dialogue box - let's call it myConfirm.I don't want the user to be able to interact with the myOptions MC while the myConfirm MC is open. Blocking mouse-presses is no problem - I just make an empty MC that fills the whole screen with an onPress / return false on it.However, while the myConfirm is open, the user can still press tab to toggle through the form in myOptions, type text into the textfields an activate the listeners (like posting the form upon Enter keypress).
Manually deactivating textfields, tabs and listeners every time I call a confirm window is not really an option.I could have any number of forms/key listeners open at any time, and keeping track of what to activate and deactivate would be allmost impossible.What I would like is a simple command that I could call when opening a window like myConfirm a command that simply disables/blocks all key presses while the window is open.

does anyone know how to disable keyboard inputs, such that, for example, the user could not push enter to advance to the next frame? this could be a potential problem for the application i�m developing -- i want to force the users to use mouse clicks to advance the movie.

Im having trouble with the keyboard inputs on a movieclip.is this valid to do? (3 of the same event)
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, move);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, turn);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fire);
what this does is using only one of these events at a time (the one with the last triggered key) and resets the others. this way I won't be able to move and turn simultaneously.

I need to create a file that the user inputs text which looks easy enough, but I need to strictly define what they can put in.
It is a right/wrong answer so for example:
I would need them to enter the following sentence exactly: Hello my name is dog.

am creating a little program with three sprites that rotate as you click on them.url...Right now the code is very long, so I am trying to use functions to make things more modularized.[code]"givenSprite.scaleX" gets "resizeFactor" added to it 90 times, as I intended. But "spriteDegrees" only increments once, instead of 90 times.Now here is the weird part, if I add "maDegrees --;" above "spriteDegrees --;" it works just fine. Can someone tell me why "spriteDegrees" is only incrementing once?

I am looking for a solution in Flex where I can capture a combination of keyboard inputs such as: [CTRL] + A + B
That is, pressing the CTRL key and the user presses two keys (instead of the usual one).
I can capture the event when somebody keys: [CTRL] + A with the following code:
if (event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode == 65)
How would I capture an additional key so that the event is captured when somebody presses CTRL, A and B?

Does it mean only a total of 8 float values can be passed per vertices's set of data? Does this mean you can only have one of the following?
2 inputs of FLOAT_4.
4 inputs of FLOAT_2.
8 inputs of FLOAT_1.
Any mixture that will add up to a total of 8 float values? Is this the case? Because if it is, it's really misleading in their documentation to say 8 inputs can be used. Maybe I'm having trouble because I haven't formatted my data correctly, but I'm trying to use 9 floats per vertices, as in:

i dont know how to validate enabled input field by a checkbox.
I got 4 checkboxes each of them enabling/disabling its own input field when checked/unchecked. This for a little explanation of the user's choice. So i need to validate if the enabled input text has some text in it, if not, restrict the submit of the form (by button).
I tried something like this:
Code:
} else if (checkBox1_txt.enabled = true || checkBox1_txt.text ="") {
status_txt.text = "Please, explain your choice";

I am trying to create a quote estimator on my website. I want to create forms in flash that can take inputs (numbers) from the user and then automatically calculate the values by mutliping certain forms and and then totaling them up.
The total value does not need to be saved. No database is required.
I am assuming I need to use dynamic texts?

I am trying to implement find functionality in my application and for this I am trying to open a find popup based on keyboard inputs like F3 or CTRL + F. But on F3, instead of going to event listener, it opens up the default find toolbar of the Internet Explorer instead. how I could bypass it and use f3 in my application?
Another thing is how do I capture CTRL + F in flex?
private function keyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.F3)

I am trying to create a project where every input (mouse and keyboard) is logged to a text file with a time stamp from a .swf file. The premise is to record this data for usability research. For example, I want to record how long the user waits between clicking on buttons, which order they click on buttons, etc.

I'm trying to make a calculator that takes a number that is input and then runs it through a formula and outputs it.
Elements:
Input1_txt
Input2_txt
RadioButton1
RadioButton2
Output1_txt
Output2_txt
Output3_txt
Output4_txt
Submit_btn
What I am trying to do is:
part 1. Take the input number of Input1_txt and if RadioButton1 is selected then divide Input1_txt by 2.20462262 but if RadioButton2 is selected then just take the number in Input_txt.
part 2. The outcome of part 1 to be multiplied by (100 minus Input2_txt) then divided by 100.
part 3. When Submit_btn is pressed outputs:
Output1_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2, then multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output2_txt = The answer of part 2 multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output3_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output4_txt = The answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)

I have 3 input texts on the stage.
money_input
percent_input
years_input
what I want after pressing the button (calculate_btn)is to get thees values entered from these input texts into 3 vaiables.
var $money
var $percent
var $years
and check if the inputs are numbers only not string not empty. I tried to convert the inputs to numbers to insure that they are numbers without making a function to check the inputs but always I get NaN when I entr value like 444bb;
ActionScript Code:
error_txt.text = "Enter some values to calculate your loan";
//--------Make the button listener----------//[code].........

Okay... I give up. I've tried everything I know on how to do this but with no results. What I'm trying to do is simple: there's a button in the stage and a movie clip. Inside the movie clip is a dynamic textbox. Now, the button is supposed to change what's written in the textbox inside the movie clip. Here's the code I had tried using:

I made all the corrections in my code and got a working one. But what I really want to do is not adding texts into one text field. I need to get the numbers which is written by users into text boxes and then use their inputs to make some calculations. (Like 3+6=9 ). When I assign numbers to variables Ican easily make calculations but what I really want is not that. the numbers should be entered by these text boxes. I think need to change "string" to "number" but when I do this I get error message. I am planning to use the calculation result in some other part of my code. I am wondering if using "return" function useful for me to get the number (the result) of calculation?

I am trying to create a script, where the user inputs a maths equation (something simple like 5 + 2 * 10), I have managed to break down the text into an array and have the numbers in one array and the symbols in another, I wanted the computer to then work it out, however I cant seem to think of how to do this and the methods that I have tried have failed.there is one dynamic box and the value of that is then broken down by an array split(" "), however this leaves the values in an array and it is percieved as a string not a number and so when i try to work it outit just displays 5 * 10, how would i get it to work that out?
