ActionScript 2.0 :: Input Text Box To Dynamic Text Output - No Cursor?
Apr 28, 2011
you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever. The problem is, the input text box will not let you type in it. If you mouse over it, the mouse stays a pointer, you don't get the text tool. If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:
Everything looks in order, all the variables are correct, the input text box is set to input - it just wont let you write in it. I even went into a blank project, created a rudimentary setup, with an input text box one frame and a button, with the simple script:
Actionscript Code:
outputName=inputName;
Setup a button that moved to the frame with the designated output dynamic text box, tested it, it worked. So I tried moving the input box to the program - will not work.... It does the same thing, cannot type in it. I tried moving the text box to a different frame, used the simpler script to output, made no difference.
the last of many problems, is that at the very end of the test, you're shown your score, and you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever.

If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:
Code: // function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {
I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?
does anyone know how to make the initial text in an input text box disappear once your cursor changes from the arrow to the type cursor? For example, I have an input text box which has the text visible saying "enter your email address here" I want this text to disappear automatically when the user goes to type something there...
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.
how to tell the cursor(vertical text flasher) to jump to the end of the text in a input textfield - so that you can continue typing from the end of existing text?
I have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

I have 4 dynamic text boxes which duplicates the text from a main input text box. How do I write a code to make visible only the dynamic text box I want when clicked it's check box.What is the CODE to make each "DYNAMIC TEXTBOX" visible when clicked on it's checkbox?
I'm currently building a very basic flash application and i'm having trouble with one section of it. In this section I have an input box where the user enters their name and clicks an 'Enter' button. Clicking this button will take the user to the next section where I want their name to appear in a dynamic text box.The application works as far as getting to the next section but it doesn't display any input text in the output text box in the next section.
I was wondering if you could take the text in your output box and put that into a dynamic text box. I am loading and taking data from an xml file which looks like this:
I am opening my mind to be lead down the path of the masters.I have created movie clips of hand drawn symbols; a1, b1, c1, a2, b2, c2...etc.I would like a text field to supply the input string, parse the string, then output the same string graphically with the MCs depending on a style (1 or 2).
ex: User inputs HELLO and selects style 2, on a button click a series of movieclips appears; h2,e2,l2,l2,o2.
in the swf, when my mouse reaches a dynamic text box, the cursor always changes to the 'I' cursor and the text can be highlighted.how to prevent this from occurring?
I have an input text field in which the user enters text. This text is displayed in an output textfield. The user should have the option to change the color of a selection, This color should be applied to the selection in both the input and output textfield. After that the user should be able to further edit the text without loosing the fomatting.
But pictures say more than words so...
1. The user selects text and sets the color to yellow
2. The text color is set to yellow just like I want
3. This is the actual issue. When the text (in the input field) is edited all text in the ouput field goes black again That's not what I want, I want the colored text to stay colored when the input is edited.
This is my code:
Code: txt_Input.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fncOutput) btn_Format.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fncFormat) var tfmBlack:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
I have an input text box (txtInput) and a dynamic text box (dynTxt). I want the dynamic text to stay black but highlight a segment of that text in yellow depending on certain characters.
suppose i have one input text filed,and one dynamic text field,i want,when i enter value in input text filed then these value show on dynamic text filed [input text box] =[dynamic text box].how show value in dynamic text from input text filed
Is it possible using actionscript to convert a text box into Input text once it has already been set as either dynamic/static text in the 'text box properties' dialog?[code]...
I�m currently doing work for a local cinema that wants session times to be displayed as .swf's on a few monitors in the foyer, but I�m having difficulties writing the script for it, here's the situation:The session times are generated daily as a text file by the ticketing software, it looks like this:
12 1 0950 101 0 330 0 M MADE OF HONOUR 1 1 1000 95 0 400 0 M WHAT HAPPENS IN 6 1 1000 95 0 154 0 M SMART PEOPLE 9 1 1010 92 0 300 0 PG MISS PETTIGREW
[code]...
Additional requirements are the times disappearing after the session has started as well as session times 13-16 being displayed as a separate .swf (first class seating)So i guess my main question is "can i dynamically load text from a multi-line txt file without editing the txt file to include variable assignment? ('content=' etc)" the txt file generated is intended for an led display and is apparently a Texas Instruments standard.
do i have to use some other server-side code to save a text file to the flash folder?just want to convert some meaningless text from an input dynamic text to a file...
I'm trying to pass text from an input text in frame 1 to a dynamic text field in frame 10. Thus when the user enters text and clicks the submit button it takes them to frame 10 and shows them what they typed. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors. Here's the link:
I have two separate text input fields (line1 and line2) that I want to pass their contents to two dynamic text fields (result1 and result2) within the same frame. line1 ---> result1line2 ---> result2I would like to do this so that when you type in the text it updates at the same time as you type).
I have a page, that contains movieclip with a input textfield in it. And a other page with a movieclip with a dynamic textfield in it.What i want is the text i type in the input, i want it to be shown, in the other page, in my dynamic textfield.This works if they are on the same frame:
I have two text boxes. An input text box you type into and then a dynamic text box that shows whatever you wrote in the Input box in a different font.I want the output box to be in all caps.I've done some searching and it looks like there is some AS2 for this:textOutput. writtentext.text.toUpperCase();
Where: textOutput is the instance name of the output dynamic box writtentext is a variable that gets passed But it doesn't work. How can I get this UpperCase thing to work?
I'm having trouble passing a number from an input text box to a dynamic text box after a button is clicked.
In timeline I have two frames labeled: 1) inf, which starts with an input text box and a button, and 2) closing, which receives data from inf section.
INF SECTION has an input text box (age_txt) and a button (inf_bt).
var userAge:Number;age_txt.text; inf_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPg1); function gotoPg1 (evt:MouseEvent): void{age_txt.text=String(userAge);// user
I am currently creating an application with multiple pages. These pages have several textInput instances on which the user enters data into. There is a final page that asks the user to confirm the data they have entered which is a page full of dynamic text fields that should display the previously entered data. What I need to do is, to be able to pass whatever is entered into my textInput instances and pass that data to my dynamic text fields to be displayed as text on that final confirmation page.
I 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.
