ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX]text Field, OnSetFocus And OnKillFocus?
Apr 14, 2004
I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
Code:
naam.onSetFocus = function(){
this.background = true;
this.backgroundColor = 0xdddddd;[code]....
but to me it seems that there must be a way to combine all this lines of code into one single function or at least two one for the setFocus and one for the killFocus.

AS2, from an email form for my website:
instance: from_txt, var: from
the onKillFocus part works great, the onSetFocus does not. The input text has "your name here" typed in to begin with.
from_txt.onSetFocus = function() {
if (from == "your name here") {
from = "";
}
};
[code]....

I'm absolutely and completely dumbfounded by this problem...
Code:
target.txtField.onSetFocus = function() {
trace(inputText.getFieldText()); // custom function, outputs a string (ex. "name")
if (this.text == inputText.getFieldText()) {
this IF statement runs through fine
this.text = ""; // won't work, no matter if I set it to empy or anything...
}
}
I'm probably doing something very stupid here... but I can't figure out what. I've done my research, gone over examples online and in books, still not working. The text field goes blank, but I cannot type into it, and it loses focus (if I try using Selection.setFocus(this); it doesn't work).

I have a text box which I want to display a certain text on it when it loads, say, "demotext", for example. However, I want it to clear that text when the user clicks on it and then only displays stars when they type (as if it has turned into a password box when they clicked on it). So far I only have this:
ActionScript Code:
cancelcount.onSetFocus = function() {
cancelcount.text = "";

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

I'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.

I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.

What 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.

I've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field. But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
for (var i:uint = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++){ trace (this.getChildAt(i).name + ' type:' + typeof (this.getChildAt(i))+ ' ' + this.getChildAt(i));}
it returns:
instance370 type:object [object Shape]mediaImportName001 type:object [object TextField]mediaFiletype001 type:object [object TextField]
How do I get Flash to give me the text in mediaImportName001?
It's bizarre - this.getChildAt(i).name
from above gives me...
mediaImportName001 ,
yet
trace (["mediaImportName"+thisNum].name);
returns undefined (thisNum represents an increment I use to name multiple clips and text fields, and in this case trace(thisNum); returns 001)

I have a form with numerous input boxes. I've set tab orders to tab through the fields. In this scenario, I actually LIKE the edge highlight that appears around the textField when tabbing through them. However, this dissappears for any textFiled that I placed an onSetFocus event

I have quite a weird problem..I have an input text field and AS written for it to change it's content with "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions.
The problem is that when I add a "MediaDisplay" component to the scene input text's "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions won't work and as well as some other problems apear..I've seen that for these 2 functions I have to export with flashplayer 8 and so it is.

I've almost finished a website I've been doing, but I still have 2 issues/bugs. - The first is the one that made me start this thread. I've isolated the problem and uploaded the .fla file (MX2004 - 7.2), with a simplified example. You can download it at [URL] (don't worry, this link has nothing to do with the website, LoL)
Description: The combobox instance in the preloader frame is there to avoid the rectborder problem. If you leave things that way, on Form1 you'll notice that you can't kill focus by clicking outside the input text boxes, because it immediately sets focus back (you can only change focus from one input box to another). Let's call this issue bug A.
If you delete the combobox instance located in the first frame (preloader), you will not have the kill focus issue anymore (after setting focus on one of the text boxes, you can now click outside and it will kill focus and stay that way). However, if you go towards the second form (the one with the combobox), you'll now notice a bug that was previously non-existent: the combobox border (I've set its colour to red to highlight the problem better) will remain there after you've selected one of the combobox's available options. Let's call it bug B. I know that second bug is known, and that was why I used that solution with the instance placement on the preloader frame.

Trying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.
The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:
this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()
I know I need to do more than just change it to ".html" instead of ".text" and have tried a couple things, but nothing seems to work.
Code:
//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML ();
myXML.load(newXml);

I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

Is it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?

I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.

I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.

Is there a way to detect if a dynamic text field that has basic english characters embedded can't display some foreign text, japanese for example?
So I can then switch the text to display in an arial device font text field.
Sorry if this has been answered b4, but I can't find it if it has.
