I have an input field where the user can enter a zip code, or a city/state combo (not to be confused with up, up, down, down, left, right, left, rigth, B, A, select, start) to search some things... The action on my "go" button is as follows, where searchItem is the variable name of the input box:

I have tried to make validation code for an input box (flash 8) however I cant seem to get it to work, heres the code i have
allow = new Array(" ","a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l", "m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y ","z"," ","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L", "M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y ","Z");
function validate(user_name){
[code]....
The basic gist is that it runs throught the input box and checks if the letters are in the array,and if they are it adds 1 to temp2 then at the end it checks how many characters are in the input box, and if they equal == temp2 then it goes to the next scene, else it says "Please....etc" The PROBLEM is that if the user types in a letter twice, such as " HELLO" then the code only counts 1 L instead of 2 L's. so then it throws out the sum because it wont be correct.

It displays searchItem, but not the results of the split, nor does it recognize the variable as a number type when a zip code is entered.

I have this input text field in which the user inputs a string of sentences into it. I need it to be able to read any string that is typed into it regardless of whether it is upper or lowercase.
I created on stage 4 text-input fields and a "next" button. I have to check that all 4 text-fields are not empty so the user wouldn't be able to click on the "next" button if one of this fields is blank. here's the code i've tried without success, the program got stacked in a loop:

I am seeing a strange issue in flex. I need to reset all text input fields to 0 once the
user submits the values to be calculated. In the method
private function calculate():void {
resetToZero();
var num:Number = parseFloat(s21.text);
[code].....
I tried to the following code but it doesn't work presumably because I'm trying to split an input text field but I can't say split("
")
The code:
Code: Select allvar text_height = input_txt.split("
").length*12;
Is this possible to do?
I have text input boxes. There is validation for each of the boxes using numberValidator. Now, the thing is that am using alert box to show if any error occurs.
Flowchart ::
1> Insert value in textBox.
2> NumberValidator validates the input on "trigger=change".
3> If error, alert message is displayed. The user clicks OK to go back to form.
4> Focus set back to the TextBox.
5> But, alert box makes the text input value blank / null. i.e. Both the previous error value entered by user and the default correct value will not be displayed now.
Display the most recent correct value that was entered in the text box. Not the default of any other, but the most recent correct value entered by the user.
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?
The first questions was a calculation with the correct answer 5 or five. I have created an input text box with a variable ans1. Instance for the input text is Q1Input. I made a button with the following button script:
on (release, keypress "<Enter>") {
if (ans1 eq "5" or ans1 eq "five") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
[Code].....
Typing a correct answer gets me to a wrong message (frame 3) not correct (frame 2). When I trace(ans1) it seems that the input text box is passing teh formatting data with the value thus giveing me WRONG.
I want to have an input text box with the instance name "answer1_input."If the user types in "one" I want it to go to frame 2.If the user types in anything else, I want it to go to frame 3.
View 8 RepliesI've created a custom textInput componenet that handles it's own validation using a private validator. The validation is enabled depending on the state of the component i.e. validation is enable when the components state is "edit".However, when the state changes from edit the internal validator is set to not enabled but the validation errors on the textbox do not clear - the textInput still has the red border and on mouseover the validation errors come up. What I want to happen is that when a validator is disabled the error formatting and error messages clear from the text input control.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this I tried setting the internal validator instance to enabled = false and dispatching a new focusOutEvent as below but the validation error formatting is still applied to the textInput contrl.
_validatorInstance.enabled = false;
//clear the validation errors if any
dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT));

I've hit a brick wall here. I have a Flash file that displays fine in IE. It also displays fine when ran as a SWF. However, in FireFox, it does not display my scroller.

I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.

I've created a form based flex app that populates some fields on startup. I'd like to validate that several text fields/labels are not null on startup. If any required fields are null I"ll throw and alert and close the app. There are only 4-5 fields that I need to check.
View 5 RepliesI am doing some forms in Flash Cs4 with AS3. The forms are working well, but i have a code to check if people have enter information in every field. But the verification only works for 2 field. The code is exactly the same for the other but it doesn't work. Can you double check my code and maybe explain me why it doesn't work or maybe how to replace the validation code by another.

I'm making a small memory game that is XML driven (users can upload images into the game). I've come to the point where I need to check if the user has filled out certain nodes or not, and if so; check that the input is valid - int when int is expected and whatnot.
What are the ways to check this, and which is best? So far I've only tried checking if a node is == "" or not, but I imagine there must be better ways. I will include lots of switches for the user which should all be optional. This calls for a neat way to validate it.
I am using URL Loader to hit the server (e.g. Yahoo server) and then listing to HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS" listener for Status code 200. If the response code is 200 then form submits to database else I am giving the error "URL is not valid".I am running my application from Tomcat server using address Issue: On submiting the form Flash returns "SecurityError stating "form.swf" cannot access data on "Yahoo server".I have also placed a crossdomain.xml file on the server with allowDomain set to wildcard "*";
View 3 RepliesOn the stage:Textfield called "inputTXT".And a button called "Go". All I am trying to accomplish here is to have the input characters validated to be ONLY numbers and max 5. However, I don't want to use:"inputTXT.restrict = "0123456789".
Instead I would like to check if the characters entered after pressing the "go" btn, are within the defined parameters above (numbers and max5). If yes, then I need to pass a URL, if not then I need to display an error message.
I am new in flex and recently read about Validation and Invalidation in components.

I need a add a competition form with validation.will need details like name, age, email, post code, gender and so on.
p.s. form is going out to AMF
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 to check that a user is over 18 when they enter their date of birth into an input field in the format of DD/MM/YY and I'm having problems,
