I have a Flash website. It is Flash (AS2) with a PHP back office. I just found out "undefined" is printed when no text is added to a text field. I need to make that warning/error go away as text fields are sometimes left empty. I did a search in the .fla and found:
Code:
if (_root.description[myi] != undefined)
{
this.textbox.text = _root.description[myi];
[Code]....
This is probably very simple but here goes...How do I hide text in a password field? You know, the dots in place of text?
View 2 RepliesI have a "clock_mc" that i want to make disappear in some situations. In it is a .psd background which fades perfectly. But there are 3 dynamic text fields to display the time and date. When i use actionscript to fade the movie clip, the text fields stay visible. Is this an anomaly, or just a bug in flash?
View 2 RepliesI make a textbox on frame one of my movie and embed a font called "Crazyface-Bold" into that textbox.Can I create an empty text field at runtime and assign it a font value of "Crazyface-Bold"? Would that work? The reason I ask is that I only need certain ranges and I don't want to embed a whole font into the library. Creating text fields on the fly is a must though.

I am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.

How to set focus and insert caret in an empty text field in AS3
View 3 RepliesI want to check if an input text field is empty. I only managed to do it this way;
mytext = textfield.text;
if(mytext != "") .....
The problem with this approach is that I also want to exclude variables with whitespaces.
I tried; if(!isEmpty(mytext) )..... but that didnt work.
When I create an empty input text-field and compile, the curser starts at the 2'nd line when I click the text field! Is there a work-around to get the initial curser position at the top?

I'm trying to dynamically create an empty text field with as at 560px wide, fill it with a bunch of text (one line) and continuously scroll it from left to right using hscroll and setInterval. I've read all kinds of specs about createTextField and hscroll but I can't get it to work. I ouputted the mytext.hscroll value and it's always at 0;

I am facing a problem with loading dynamic data through XML in Flash. I have 09 text fields which are taking data from XML file and if for example there are 05 News then rest of 04 input boxes displays "Undefined" in Flash at the front side. I am using following code which gives me Undefined error:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;

I've modified the xml photo gallery from the tutorial on this site to include a thumbnail scroller, the previous and next buttons to loop around, and added links to the images so that a pdf will pop up if the image is clicked for the images that have pdfs with the help of this forum.
I'm trying to incorporate a dynamic text box that says "Click on image below to view PDF" only for the images that have a pdf to click on and not for those that don't have a pdf linked. Therefore I've set up XML nodes that say "Click on image below to view PDF" and others that are empty or "undefined" for the ones that don't have a pdf linked.
Right now it's almost there. The key lines in the code below I think:
linkdes_txt.text._visible=false;
} else {
linkdes_txt.text._visible=true;

i have a small flash file with a dynamic text field with instance name: load_txt i have a server... [URL] what i would like to be able to do is when embedding my flash file with the empty text field, put a "?" after the .swf and then put something like "url" with that, in the actionscript i would have it set to go to: [URL] so if i did myserver.com/test.swf?url=ben the flash file would load, and whatever would be in: [URL]would load into the text field in the flash i would already have the url labeled, just need to place the name of the txt file in the .swf? and then it would load properly

Novice in actionscript and have a problem loading an html file combined with a css stylesheet into a dynamic text field. I have 2 pages... 1st page always loads correctly but second page all you see the text fields is "undefined". When I view local machine all is well until I load onto server and for the first page of my site all is well but for the second page I receive "undefined" in the dynamic text field... This only happens the first time. When I click through the different pages('undefined', 'undefined', 'undefined'..) and return to the previous ones the text suddenly is displayed correctly! I have read elsewhere that I need to wait for the LoadVars onload command to finnish but I am at a loss to fix this...
Code:
var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var styles = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var txt_url = "booking.htm";

I have an array of names as you can see. I'm simply trying to have those names pull in and show when I rollover a thumbnail which contains a dynamic text field "pName." I have a for loop which controls the rollover events for the thumbs. I'm using the same 'for' loop to try and pull in the names but have a variable "current" set to "i". However, when tested the dynamic text field is showing up as "undefined." (I have embedded all fonts.)
Code:
var Names:Array = ["Bill Werber", "Bill Mock", "Ed Koffenberger", "**** Groat", "Art Heyman", "Jeff Mullins", "Jack Marin", "Bob Verga", "Mike Lewis", "Randy Denton", "Mike Gminski", "Jim Spanarkel", "Gene Banks", "Johnny Dawkins", "Mark Alarie", "Tommy Amaker", "Danny Ferry", "Christian Laettner", "Grant Hill", "Bobby Hurley", "Trajan Langdon", "Elton Brand", "Shane Battier", "Chris Carrawell", "Jason Williams", "Carlos Boozer", "Mike Dunleavy", "Chris Duhon", "Luol Deng", "JJ Re****", "Shelden Williams", "DeMarcus Nelson", "Gerald Henderson", "Jon Scheyer"];

The code mostly comes from a tutorial I found where the demo works fine. Just my code seems to not stand up to the test
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.
I have this code in (apart) movie clip, this one belongs to ther one called (pagina): The field is instanced as nome_text and the variable is "nome"In the output from flash he loads the text, but the text field is empty The AS is the second layer from "apart" mc
var myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
trace(this.nome);

View 3 RepliesIs 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..
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 RepliesI 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.

View 6 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.
View 11 RepliesI'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)

Code:
package com.Advertising {
public class AdvertisingBlock {
public var troot[code]......
I then want swfDisplayer to extend from AdvertisingBlock But because AdvertisingBlock expects stage,troot,constant, I have to use super in swfdisplay?? Does that sound right?? so something like....
Code:
package com.Advertising.Renders {
import com.Advertising.AdvertisingBlock;[code]....
when I trace advertObject from swfdisplay its empty... "undefined" But tracing from advertisingblock obviously shows it as being the object that was written to it.Is it because "supering" basically creates a new instance of advertblock? but one that you can access?What I have been doing in the past is just not extending at all and just creating a new instance of SwfDisplay that doesnt extend.
I want to make a search button on my site. I have a bunch of pdf files in a specific location on my site. I want to create a search field where the end user inputs text into a field and flash locates and opens the corresponding pdf file.
