ActionScript 2.0 :: Find And Select Text From Textfield
Dec 12, 2011
I want to find a text in the particular text field when we enter a word in the find text field and click find button. I have the following objects on the stage.One big input text box (input_txt), one small text box (find_txt) and one button (find_btn) on the stage. I have written following code in action.[code]But it finds and selects only one word and stops. It is not finding another word if there is one more similar word.For example, if there are two words "story", it finds last entered word "story" in the input_txt and stops. I want to find and select all similar words one after another in the full text field as in the normal text program like notepad and word.
I'm creating a text editor and I want users to be able to select only part of a textfield and change the color.The problem I'm running into is the ColorPicker gains focus (I'm guessing) and the textfield loses it's "selection."All examples of text editing show the entire textfield changing color.

I want to select a textField using a button. For example: when I click the button, the text field content is erased and automatically selected so I just have to typ the text.

I have a project that needs to take dynamic text and arc it. Similar to this: http:[url]...In this example, select a font then click create text item.At this point you can slide the meter to change the arc of the text. This is exactly what I need to do.My understanding of what needs to be done is I need to first break the letters of the text field into separate text fields, loop thru them then position and rotate each char to the desired arc. The problem is my trigonometry really bites. I have tried many tutorials and I have gotten similar results, mainly arcing text into a complete circle at different radiuses. But all I need to do is whats in the example, which is allowing the user to gradually arch the text.
I need to select the text copy and paste the text in to clipboard.. i am able to select the text and on right click i have provided the menu for copying the text... after selecting the text, i am clicking the copy text option in the menu.. but it is not pasting the text..
I want users to be able to right click on a certain line in the text field, and I don't want to go through the hassle and extra memory and coding involved in breaking up the field.If the user has not selected the textField yet, right clicking will set the "caretIndex" to the correct value, however, if the field is in focus when they right click, the carrotIndex will not display the correct value, but will display the selection value.How can I detect which line/character was right clicked? Is it even possible to get the coordinates of the right click without needing to resort to detecting MOUSE_MOVE and updating some sort of global value each time?
When you select text in a Text or Label or TextArea (or other) control in a Flex application, the selection is shown in white text on a black background. Always.
I have a request to change that — and it seems to be a simple enough thing to want — but I can't find a style (or property) anywhere that permits that. Any ideas out there about how to do this, or reasons why it definitively can't be done?
I'm stuck on this tutorial trying to learn how arrays functions. My task is to declare a variable, write an array, loop through the array and output the match in a textfield already created on stage. This code does that, but it gives me the match in number, instead of writing the name I get the number from the array, 2. How can I get the textfield to display the name Stian?
var bestevenn:String = 'Stian' var mineVenner:Array= new Array();mineVenner[0]='Janne';mineVenner[1]='Liv';mineVenner[2]='Stian';mineVenner[3]='Henri
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?
Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. If you have any clues... The AS I'm using:
I have a comboBox and values like basic and advanced. And viewstack container conatains 2 grids.When i select the base option in Combobox, the first grid has to be selected. select the advanced value in comboBox, the second grid has to be selected.
Flex 4 Combobox is extended with a Text Input that helps in getting to the item that is searched for.I have created a Check Box as an itemrenderer for this Flex 4 Combobox. I would like to Add a Select All and Select None options in the drop down of the Combobox. I know that i could accomplish by editing the dropdownfactory in case of a Flex 3 Combobox. But in Flex 4 the dropdownfactory doesnt exist.
how to select all the text in the textarea on a single click? For example, if I click on the textarea, I would like to select all the text in it or if I click on a button, I would like to select all the text in the textarea.
I want to make a dynamic text field so that when a user clicks on it all the contents of the text box are selected to avoid users having to click and drag to select the contents. Is there some actionscript to get make the textbox select all when focused?
I'm working on a page where the user enters their password, then confirms it, so of course their are two dynamic text boxes.
For the first text box, they enter keys on a keyboard and of course the text goes into the text field, like so.
myTextField_txt.appendText(myKeyPressedString);
Works fine.
However, I can't seem to figure out when they are done with the first password how to switch them to the second text field. Clicking on the area where the second dynamic text field is doesn't highlight it or give me a cursor.
We really want to do this on one page, not two. Is there some way to make the second field selectable to change the target for the keyboard?
This is the most frustrating program ever. No where can I find an answer. I've tried everything I've read on how to change text but I can never get the selection tool to select the text. Some say use the T tool but all that does is create a new white box over top of it to type new text in
The layer isn't locked and the closest I can get is a blue box around the button. Well it's not a button and in the library the icon is a movie clip. Its also in my "bitmaps" folder as and image? (tree icon) Does that matter? I'm begining to think this is a whole image?
I have used a tool to convert a pdf to a swf but i need to be able to select and hightlight the pdf's contents. How would I do this using flex/action script?
For example, say I have 3 RichEditableText objects and I want to be able to highlight them all together:
<s:RichEditableText id="obj_one" width="100%" text="Click and start dragging the highlight here..." selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" /> <s:RichEditableText id="obj_two" width="100%" text="Continue dragging the highlight through this one" selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" /> <s:RichEditableText id="obj_three" width="100%" text="and keep going and finish highlighting them all right here" selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />
Is it even possible to make it so all three could be highlighted that way someone could Copy all three at once then past all the text somewhere? I should clarify, The reason they would be like this is because there they are in an itemRenderer so they would each be their own object in each line on the list. It would be nice though if the text could be highlighted and copied like it was all together though. Just imagine the way an end user would expect to be able to drag an highlight any other text in a standard html document to paste elsewhere.
