ActionScript 2.0 :: Everyone Loves Input Validation
Oct 20, 2003
I have an input field where the user can enter a zip code, or a city/state combo (not to be confused with up, up, down, down, left, right, left, rigth, B, A, select, start) to search some things.The action on my "go" button is as follows, where searchItem is the variable name of the input box:[code]But alas... all the validation fails. It displays searchItem, but not the results of the split, nor does it recognize the variable as a number type when a zip code is entered.

I have tried to make validation code for an input box (flash 8) however I cant seem to get it to work, heres the code i have
allow = new Array(" ","a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l", "m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y ","z"," ","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L", "M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y ","Z");
function validate(user_name){
[code]....
The basic gist is that it runs throught the input box and checks if the letters are in the array,and if they are it adds 1 to temp2 then at the end it checks how many characters are in the input box, and if they equal == temp2 then it goes to the next scene, else it says "Please....etc" The PROBLEM is that if the user types in a letter twice, such as " HELLO" then the code only counts 1 L instead of 2 L's. so then it throws out the sum because it wont be correct.

I have text input boxes. There is validation for each of the boxes using numberValidator. Now, the thing is that am using alert box to show if any error occurs.
Flowchart ::
1> Insert value in textBox.
2> NumberValidator validates the input on "trigger=change".
3> If error, alert message is displayed. The user clicks OK to go back to form.
4> Focus set back to the TextBox.
5> But, alert box makes the text input value blank / null. i.e. Both the previous error value entered by user and the default correct value will not be displayed now.
Display the most recent correct value that was entered in the text box. Not the default of any other, but the most recent correct value entered by the user.

I have a form with a horizontal layout and with this TextInput:
<s:TextInput id="platformNameTI" showErrorSkin="true" showErrorTip="true"/>
I have a simple validator that just checks if there is something entered (required field). My problem is as the layout is horizontal, when an error occurred (required file missing), all form items are shifted because of the error icon. Is there a way to delete that annoying icon or force the component to not display it?

I've created a custom textInput componenet that handles it's own validation using a private validator. The validation is enabled depending on the state of the component i.e. validation is enable when the components state is "edit".However, when the state changes from edit the internal validator is set to not enabled but the validation errors on the textbox do not clear - the textInput still has the red border and on mouseover the validation errors come up. What I want to happen is that when a validator is disabled the error formatting and error messages clear from the text input control.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this I tried setting the internal validator instance to enabled = false and dispatching a new focusOutEvent as below but the validation error formatting is still applied to the textInput contrl.
_validatorInstance.enabled = false;
//clear the validation errors if any
dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT));

I've created a form based flex app that populates some fields on startup. I'd like to validate that several text fields/labels are not null on startup. If any required fields are null I"ll throw and alert and close the app. There are only 4-5 fields that I need to check.

I am doing some forms in Flash Cs4 with AS3. The forms are working well, but i have a code to check if people have enter information in every field. But the verification only works for 2 field. The code is exactly the same for the other but it doesn't work. Can you double check my code and maybe explain me why it doesn't work or maybe how to replace the validation code by another.

I'm making a small memory game that is XML driven (users can upload images into the game). I've come to the point where I need to check if the user has filled out certain nodes or not, and if so; check that the input is valid - int when int is expected and whatnot.
What are the ways to check this, and which is best? So far I've only tried checking if a node is == "" or not, but I imagine there must be better ways. I will include lots of switches for the user which should all be optional. This calls for a neat way to validate it.

On the stage:Textfield called "inputTXT".And a button called "Go". All I am trying to accomplish here is to have the input characters validated to be ONLY numbers and max 5. However, I don't want to use:"inputTXT.restrict = "0123456789".
Instead I would like to check if the characters entered after pressing the "go" btn, are within the defined parameters above (numbers and max5). If yes, then I need to pass a URL, if not then I need to display an error message.

I am working on a page which uses uploadify to upload several images. The requires the user to upload these files. Is there a way to validate these field(s) on the client-side, such as with jQuery or JavaScript, prior to submission? I am comfortable with doing the server-side validation, such as with PHP.

I'm getting the "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." error on my application. Is there a function I can use to detect this before it causes an error... maybe something like:
isValid(variableName);
I know there's one, because i've used it before, but i can't remember what it is right now.

I'm working on a form validation script, and whilst I like (in theory) to build reusable classes, this is one time I'm finding it a bit tricky.
The problem is it's difficult to build something loosely-coupled when the actual components of the form could be textfields, Flash components, or even my own basic custom components.
Interfaces are out the window, as an interface (say IFormElement) I might set up with getters and setters for label, error message and value, won't be relevant to Flash UI components.
At the moment, I'm leaning towards a base Validation class that should be extended in order to cater for different flavours of forms, with getValue() and setError() type messages.
The problem again here is that it is difficult to retain type safety, as when overriding the methods in the subclasses, obviously one can't change the type within the method signature.

I'm in the process of testing this flash email form: [URL]. Enter '27' in the 'Go To page ' text field and click go to be able to view the form. Once you are viewing the form if you click send without entering any text/data into any field it allows you to send a blank submission. It should send you to a failure screen and tell you to start again.
The actionscript is as follows...
stop();
var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// Adds conditional logic for the Submit button that
// validates user input.

a problem I'm having with passing some validation in a form im creating.For the sake of getting to the point, I have two Textfields in my form lets say email_txt and friendsEmail_txt. What I would like to do is validate the two fields to make sure the user does not put the same email address in both fields.Im sure I need to do this via a function but I'm lost as to how to go about it. I googled for about an hour and perhaps im not qeurying it properly as I could not find any answers - Im sure there is one.

Ive been trying to get an email validation working for my form. It works great locally within flash preview, but not locally via its html window, or live. Im not a coder & am self taught to the code will be pretty shabby! (trial & error type gal!)
This is on my send btn,
Code:
on (release) {
if (form.name == null && form.email == null && form.message == null) {
errmsg = "oooh, you didnt write anything";
} else if (form.name == null) {
[code]....
When live it doesnt allow sending if the criteria arent met, but doesnt display the error messages either,

I have a script to verify a zip code. It works fine except when the field is empty. [code]If I enter too few numbers it works and turns the text red. If I enter the correct numbers it works and sends me to the site. But if I leave the field blank and click, it sends me to the site anyway.
