I have an input field where the result is added to a htmlText. The problem is, if the user is goofing around and types a < or a >, they can potentially stop any future additions to the htmlText.
Is there some way I can either:
a) stop the user from typing them into the input field or;
b) delete them upon submission of the entry?
Using AS3 to create a basic number guessing game but for some reason the input text field won't accept text input. I can't figure out which piece of code is causing the problem and it's driving me nuts considering it's from a tutorial.

import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....

View 2 RepliesI'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
View 3 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.

all the rest of the code works if I just type in a number into actionscript on this line:
var theNumber = 8

Jus inncase it's nt really clear, I'm using a javascript contact form whereby users will add in details such as name, etc, and they're also required to input some details in the .swf (the input in the flash is a must). After they're submitted the input in the flash (as seenn in the link above), the detail will be send together with the rest of the details from the contact form.

Trying to help a friend update their website cosmetics. One page has text field inputs that use Javascript, and a Flash output that displays input text. I am far from a flash guru and cannot get the right formula for AS to get the textfield input.

I've got an input box within a movie clip that will store several paragraphs of text. I'd like to store the text entered into this box into a MySQL Database using PHP (which I've found several helpful tutorials for) but I'd also like to load this same text into the input box to avoid the text from being lost if the browser gets closed.
So is it possible to dynamically load text into an input field from, say, a Flash variable? If so, can anyone give me a short code example or at least some tips as to where I can find out how to do something like this?
