ActionScript 2.0 :: Form Validation Script - Missing Fields Test Does Not Seem To Work?
Sep 28, 2004
I recently had a client ask me to fix a previously designed Contact form on their Flash site. The form works perfectly, except for the fact that the missing fields test does not seem to work. (In other words, it doesn't recognize when required fields are left blank.) Below is the script that is called when the Submit button is clicked....it should jump to a frame that contains this:

I have a Flash MX Form that sends data to a MySQL DB. I want to be able to validate the field type on input. When someone enters a phone number and trys to use a text chr I want it to display an error.
I am having a problem getting radio button data into php and I can not seem to find any answers. My project is simple I have a group of radio buttons, when one is selected and a submit button is pressed I want the data from the radio button to populate the subject line of an email and send it.I can make a form work with input fields but not with radio button data.
I have just switched to CS4. When I updated some text in a movie on the site (originally built in an older version of Flash from back in the Macromedia days) things went fine until I published the document. The movie file looks fine but random characters have disappeared and some portions that were Italics have become regular. Everything stays good in the movie file, but the published one loses characters. I tried publishing for flash 5 but that made no difference. What should I be trying?
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 need help badly.the validation of the contact form in this tutorial.example: when someone didn't type in their First Name, there will be a pop up message asking them to fill in all the details before they can proceed.[URL]
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. [Code] .....
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 created another site, and when i test it it works fine, but when I try to test the preloader, the preloader works, and then it goes to frame 5 and some of the buttons are missing!?
I'm trying to do a simple form validation from a text file. The text file has the variables loaded like this:
code1=WIL6542&code2=BISH4765&code3=NICH9876
I am loading the variables from the text file just fine.
I have a single variable input field on the form, it is called code
I have a single button with the actionscript below but it's not working. If I leave the input field blank it passes, if I put a correct or incorrect code in the input box it fails.
I run throught these series of checks before submitting the variables to the .jsp script.roblem is that it will ignore the sender name and receipient name as long as there are two email addresses. Why is that?
if (sendername eq "") { nameerrorTXT.text = "PLEASE ENTER YOUR NAME"; } if (emailfrom.indexOf("@")<0 or emailfrom.indexOf(".")<0) { emailfromerror.text= "PLEASE USE VALID EMAIL ADDRESS"; emailfromTXT.text =
I am putting together a Flash Form. I had it all finished and posted it on a testing site, then I realized there was a problem.I have form validation that works like this. If a user hits the submit button but has not entered information in all of the required fields, the user will get an error message telling them to input all required information. However, there is a workaround. It seems that Flash sees the value of the "spacebar" as a positive value and lets users get past my validation.I need to assign the "spacebar" a value, make it a variable, or something along those lines. Then tell it to be equal to "0", which is not an acceptable number to pass my form validation.
been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to install a validation component to this bit of as code. Currently I have it work with an email.php file specifically set up for my client's godaddy site. This part works so I don't want to mess with it too much. But how should I validate the fields then? anyone?
I'm looking to build a banner advert for a client that allows users to input their details in order to receive a free guide sent through to their email address / have the option to enter their phone number for a call about the promotion. I've cracked the email validation (i think), however I'm having a few problems validating phone numbers before they are approved and sent for data collection. I have found the following tutorial online (url.../) which provides you with the following code;However, this is for US phone numbers I think and I'm looking to either have it UK based or preferably allow all telephone numbers to be validated (is this possible?). Currently the form on the tutorial page does not allow for standard UK landline and mobile phone numbers.[code]
I'm about to build an OOP signup form in AS2 with realtime data validation. There are 3 fields 'Username', 'Password' and 'Email' and two of those will check with the server to see if the the username or email is taken. This is almost identical to the signup form on [URL] The way I've experimented with so far is to begin an onEnterFrame event on the textField as it receives focus. This onEnterFrame function checks for spelling, character count etc When the textField loses focus it then sends the data to the server and checks if it already exists. If it doesn't, it will validate. What I've written works rather well (up until the submitting - haven't worked that out yet) but the code is rather unwieldy and seems too long.
What is the best way to go about building this? Are onEnterFrame checkers the best way to go? Should the data send to the server onKillFocus? Should the submit button trigger all the onEnterFrame validation functions to run again (in case the user didn't wait for validation)
I made a login form using flash and made it pass it's variable to php for validation. I have two (2) variables from my php file that I want to pass to flash so it can control my movie. When I pass those two (2) variables, the first one has no problem. My dynamic textfield displays the value that the php sends but when I pass the second variable from my php to flash and displays it in my other dynamic text field, it displays the value but it appears to have html tags i.e., 1<br /><b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: userLoggedIn in <b>C:wampwwwestfernwoodestDisplayClients.php </b> on line <b>83</b><br />. The value of my variable from php is 1 and as you can see, it contains html tags. How can I remove these tags?
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
I have created a small application with three different slides.
-one at frame 1 which acts as a Home page -one at frame 2 which acts as a Gallery page -one at frame 3 which acts as a Contact Page
On the contact page i have the following 'skeleton' code.. which i have to follow..[code]i need basic validation such as text lentgh, and also correct email format (i.e. containing a '@'
Sometimes, multiple times a day in fact, users of my web application are submitting a certain form which has about a dozen form fields, half of which are hidden fields, and half of the $_POST data is simply not present in the processing script. Note that the fields that are not present are at the very bottom of the form. I know this because this raises a fatal error, and an email is dispatched to me which includes the post data. And of course, neither I nor any of the developers on my team can reproduce the problem. Flash is involved in the process, as I'm using a library called Uploadify to display a progress meter. Here is the flow...why some of the post data would be getting wiped out?
-User visits edit screen for a page in the CMS I am using. -Record id for the page is put into a form as a hidden value. -User clicks the Uploadify browse button and selects a file (only single file selection is allowed). -User clicks Submit button for my form. -jQuery intercepts the form submit action, triggers Uploadify to start uploading, and returns false for the submit action (manually cancelling the form submit event so that Uploadify can take over). -Uploadify uploads to a custom process script. -Uploadify finishes uploading and triggers the Javascript completion callback. -The Javascript callback calls $('#myForm').submit() to submit the form.
This happens on multiple browsers (Firefox 3.5, 3.6, Safari, Internet Explorer 7, 8) and multiple platforms (Mac OS 10.5, 10.6 and Windows XP, 7).
I'm having real trouble trying to get a simple contact form to work on my flash project.When I enter text into the fields it wont allow certain characters to display.I've used the email template and instructions from here[url]...
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 have the following which produces a trace if the user does not type an email address when testing locally, but nothing when testing outside of Flash.
i am trying to build a form just like http://parque.nl If you go to there contact you will see what I am trying to do. I have it all working great, but I want the text not to change after the viewer inputs text.. Mine always takes out the text and go back to the default names if you go back and forth??[URL]..
Everything is fine, except the "state" field is actually a combo box component. It will tab from "city" to "state", but when you hit "Tab", it does not move the focus to the next field.
Is there some trick to this or some other code or a paramater I'm overlooking? Do I have to make a customer key listener to make it tab off a combo box?
I just created a feedback form. It uses a php file to email the info back to us. The form works fine, but I need help making my text fields required fields.
