I want to pass a value from an input form to a function. The sample attached tries to change a movie clip's x and y position based on values in the form input fields; theClip, xDist, yDist. When I hard code it, the function receives the values and works, but when I give it variable names referring to the fomr fields, I get nothing.

ActionScript Code:
on(press){
//loadVariablesNum("samplescript.asp",0,"post");
getURL("samplescript.asp",0,"post");

Using AS3 to create a basic number guessing game but for some reason the input text field won't accept text input. I can't figure out which piece of code is causing the problem and it's driving me nuts considering it's from a tutorial.

View 1 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 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.

I want users to input a number into an input text field called "myNumber" which will be put into a variable.
all the rest of the code works if I just type in a number into actionscript on this line:
var theNumber = 8
But if I try to get the number from the input field my code doesn't work. So far I've tried:
var theNumber = myNumber.text
var theNumber = value(myNumber.text)
var theNumber = value("myNumber".text)
I have an input field where the result is added to a htmlText. The problem is, if the user is goofing around and types a < or a >, they can potentially stop any future additions to the htmlText.
Is there some way I can either:
a) stop the user from typing them into the input field or;
b) delete them upon submission of the entry?
On my stage I have a dynamic text field (instance name = lives).
In my actionscript I have created a number variable called livesnum. And then beneath that I'm setting the textfields value to be the livesnum variable but I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
My actionscript is as follows :
var livesnum:Number = 4; //Amount of lives
lives.text = livesnum;
How would I achieve setting the textfield as the numeric value of the variable?
probably a hugely embarrassing beginner question, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I think it's probably (hopefully?) just a syntax problem I'm loading the content of a dynamic text box from an external .txt file and I'm trying to find a way to change the content from a link in the .txt file (if that makes sense). The code I'm using to change the dynamic text box at the moment is:

The following code, when attached to the MC panTracker_mc works as desired, passing the value of the dynamic text field with a VARIABLE name of s1Pan to s1 sound object, thus controlling the pan.
Code:

_root.s1.setPan(s1Pan);

I'm currently working on a flash combobox and text field passing data to php to display the input from flash. It require using query string method. I'm stuck on the query string code. My as3 has nothing wrong, I just don't know whats going on the php is not catching my data for display.

So I'm building a little contact form in flash and it works, but it is passing along all of the font styling information into the email sent to the client. Kind of annoying. I want it just to send the plain text.
Here's what I'm using:
This code is in the actionscript, picking up the input text fields and posting them to the PHP file. It also tells a status box to update with current info:
Code:
loadVariables("send_email.php?flashmo=" + random(1000), this, "POST");
message_status.text = "sending...";
var i = 0;
