I'm trying to do some slightly more complex and strange things with input boxes say you had some writing in an input box and you wanted to find out what characters were before the flashing cursor thing (looks like "|").
View 1 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

I have a text input field. When I press on it I'd like something to happen. But it doesn't seem like I can target the input field like this.
myTextInputFieldName.onPress = function {
do something
}
I tried putting it inside another movieclip (which I can target), but then the text input cursor goes away and I can no longer access the input text box. I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't figure it out.
I have a problem with Input Text boxes within an exported swf. The font (Arial Narrow) has been embedded via Text > Font Embedding (Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals, and Puncuation checked); but, upon export, certain characters do not register (specifically j, q. u, z, 8, and 9) or automatically take one case or the other (B, M, W, and X are always Uppercase; while k always appears as Lowercase).
View 1 RepliesI'm stumped on this problem and can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Basically I'm building a large calculator that adds over 100 input boxes. I've got it working except for the fact that if a user misses inputing a number into one of the input boxes it does not work anymore. I've tired lots of things to no avail. I just want to add the input boxes and skip those where the user did not enter any information (does not apply to them)
Here is my code.
on (press){
ReceptionTotal = Number(LocationFee) + Number(Caterer) + Number(ToastingGlasses) + Number(SecurityFee) + Number(BarPackage) + Number(WeddingCake) + Number(FoodHors) + Number(Baker) + Number(BartentingFee) + Number(CakeKnife) + Number(Servers) + Number(Flatware) + Number(Dinnerwear) + Number(Flatware) + Number(TableLinens) + Number(ChairsCovers) + Number(Glasswear) + Number(Tent) + Number(Napkins) + Number(Childcare) + Number(DanceFloor) + Number(ServingStaff) + Number(Lanterns) + Number(Heaters) + Number(Restrooms);
}
each input box has a variable name assigned to it as indicated above. I've tired setting the variables to 0, tried if statements don't know how to skip one of the above variables when no number is entered.
I have two .swf flash 5 movies and on one of them it has two input boxes which for the sake of easyness we'll call....
Inputbox1
Inputbox2
Is there any way that on another .swf file i can recall what the user put in any of the Inputboxes and then if they entered "something" then it would go to a frame.
Setting variables. Have a look at the file. Current height and width are both set at 200. I dont think i got the scripting right, or it may be in the wrong place.
View 4 RepliesI need some input text to read the same in both a dynamic and input text field, but I need the input text field to be left-aligned with a smaller font size than the dynamic text field. I tried left-aligining the input text field in Flash, and it just converted it back when I tested the movie. I have given both fields the same variable. How can I accomplish this?
View 11 RepliesI have four text input boxes, and I need to be able to script it so that when the "Done" button is pushed each of the boxes are checked for the right input. I've tried two different methods, neither of which work or the answer is automatically correct.
View 3 Repliesi was hoping that someone might have an answer to my question. is there ANY way to dynamically change the kerning of an input box? i'd like to give users the ability to modify the kerning of my .swf file. i know flash allows you to change properties like font size, colour, alignment, etc., but i can't find a way to change the kerning property. i don't even think one exists for them. so is there any kind of work around to this?also, is there any reason why i can't use negative values for leading for the input box? it only allows me to use positive numbers when i try to change it dynamically.

View 2 RepliesI have a few textAreas (input fields) in a form.When I click on the Tab key, the focus shifts to the textArea. And along with this, a green outline comes around the textArea... How can I avoid the textArea outline color? I guess there must be a piece of AS out there which would help, it's just I did not find it and Official Docs won't say much about it.it does not happen so if compiled the movie under AS 1.0. It only has this behaviour when published with AS 2.0 (and perhaps AS 3.0 donno).
View 8 RepliesI am willing to use Macromedia Flash this year to make my physics project. Well, its going to be force resultant calculator. for ones dont know how it gets counted.
Well, I'll make 4 input text boxes, and a button in the middle. 1 text boxin the north, (power effect the body from the north) one on the south, one on the east and one on the west.(I've done that part).
Then, ill need it to subtract the north - south and east - west on(release), and display that on a dynamic box called Fx (east - west) and another called FY (north - south) Finally, I'll need it fethagorth the Fx and FY to give me the final force resultant. I've done the 4 input boxes and a button, I'll still need someone gimme the action script for subtraction and fethagorth (or atleast teach me how to do it).
I want to be able to add the sum of 3 input text boxes and have the total be displayed in another text box. figure I set a variable and do something along the lines of: Number = "_root.input1 + _root.input2 + _root.input3";Or do I have to do this another way?Also where should I put the code? In a button? Or can I stick it in the frame to save complications of users clicking on a button.
View 5 RepliesI have to make a thingie whereby when u enter values into 2 input txt boxes an image modifies its scale and alpha accordingly. Now I have done everything I am supposed to but the funny thing is NOTHING happens. I'll post the code (I applied it to the button which I think is right)...
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (_root.scale>100) {

View 3 RepliesI've had a site running for a few months that takes fourinput text boxes (name, e-mail, subject and message) and posts thevalues to an ASP page which composes an e-mail with a CDO.Messagecommand. For some reason (nothing has been changed in the files or onthe server), it stopped working and I've traced it down to Flashpassing Input Text Box Formatting information along WITH theariable.Can anyone explain what's happened and how to correct it?For example, in my form I've set all the name, e-mail andmessage to static text and let the Subject variable be passed andin the e-mail subject line, I get this:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P
ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><FONT FACE="American Typewriter" SIZE="12"

I have two questions the first being how could i restrict a text input area to allow it only to recieve entries 1 - 49 I have tried

The second being how could i restrict the inputfields to not allow duplicate numbers?

InputText1.text += 1

View 1 RepliesI have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
my_Input_Txt.onChanged = function() {
my_Dyn_Txt1.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt2.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt3.text = my_Input_Txt.text;

I'm making a program that draws a grid of boxes and the color of the box must be different to those adjacent to the box. My code compares the current box's color to those to the left and top. If any of them matches, it picks another random number (as the color). For the tiles on the first row/column, I make my grid's array indexes with negative numbers -1 so that it will not match.
What I have:
private function fillArray():void {
grid = new Array();
grid[-1] = new Array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1); //paddles the grid[-1][0 to 4] with -1
for (var i = 0; i < HEIGHT; i++) {

View 6 RepliesI'm not that knowledgeable with AS, but what I'm trying to do is display my selections from an array. Basically, there are some checkboxes -- from there the user ticks a few boxes, submits their preference and then the system tells them what they have chosen and acts accordingly. In this case, the reason there is an array is because the user is selecting which videos they want to watch, and the videos will then play after each other, once one of the videos has come to an end. At the minute, initially the array is set up, the user ticks the boxes, submits, then their options are added to the array. I'm having difficulty looping through the array to find only the values that have been chosen.
