I have 2 input text boxes. On entering the data in 1st input text and pressing "ENTER" key, the focus should move to the 2nd input text box. I tried this by method Selection.sefocus(<variable>), but the focus does not move to the 2nd input text. This in flash5.

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...

With AS3 I managed to resolve the problem I said in the thread, but now I face a new problem.If you hit the wall, it will register a collision as it should. Goes the same for the exit. But if you look to the upper left, there's a rotating rectangle. If you hit the rotating rectangle, it will register a collision IF YOUR CURSOR MOVED.That's right, if you freeze the cursor in place as the rectangle comes sweeping in, it WILL NOT register a collision, meaning if it were a maze game, people could cheat by just staying still.I forgot, here's the code:
Code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, detectHits);

I have a fill-in-the-gaps exercise and I have added a hint button which checks to see which part of the word a student has entered is correct and then adds the next (correct) letter to the end of the string. My problem is that the cursor stays just in front of the added letter instead of going to the end of the string. I've tried selecting the letter that has just been added and for a second the last letter is highlighted but then the cursor goes back to its original place. Here's the code I'm using:
function showLetter() {
hints++;
//get the text the student has entered
currentWord = eval("gap"+currentGap).gap_txt.text;

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a Curling game and have a broom moving back and forth based on the mouseX position. Although I thought it would be as simple as recording the current broom position vs. the previous broom position that's not the case. This is because when you move back and forth the current and last postion may be at the very same point, like the center of the screen, depending on when exactly the mouse position is recorded. So, moving the mouse very slowly may give the same result and moving the mouse super fast where the x coordinate just happens to be recorded at or near the same point.
I tried using both an enterFrame event and a timer. Both yielded essentially the same results. I can't think of a way around this off the top of my head. Is there another way to record how fast the user is moving the mouse back and forth?
When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
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.

View 2 RepliesI want to programmatically insert formatted text at the current cursor position in a Flex 4 (Spark) RichEditableText control. I could just modify the .text property But that doesn't allow me to insert formatted text. So I believe I need to interact with either .textFlow or .textFlow.interactionManager somehow? However, TLF is quite complex and I can't find a simple way to do what I want.
View 1 RepliesI have just created an animation of moving text, which I wrote in flash pro and converted to symbols then animated.
When i play it with the play button on the timeline it plays beautifully. However when I publish it as an swf file for a split second on some of the words theres a slight white flicker. As in a horizontal line that quickly flashes up across some of the letters.
Here is what I am working on. [URL]
I am creating an interactive map. It has little bullets that, when you hover over them, display a short description of the room and a link to another page. What I am trying to do is make it so that the user can hover off of the bullet, and onto the link to the seperate page, without the link and description disappearing because of leaving the bullet's "hit" area.
Do I have to define another hit area for the description and link somehow?

Is there any way to handle it, or it can be only controlled by Flash Player?
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:
Actionscript Code:
//function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void { var so:Object = Object(SharedObject.getLocal(record)); so.data.record = record;so.data.field = field; so.data.now

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.
I am trying to make a feed backbox for visitors on my website. I have made the editable text field and scroll bar and set all of my preferences, but when the typing reaches the border on the right of the text field it just continues to type further horizontaly. I can start a new line by pressing enter but I would like it to start a new line on its own when it reaches the boundary.
