ActionScript 2.0 :: Restricting Carriage Return In Text Input Fields?
Mar 21, 2007
If it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields? I've tried something like this:
my_txt.restrict="^u0013", and a bunch of variations thereof, but nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing. Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck looking for
or
I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic textfield set to input, but when I try this:
var n:Number = my_txt.indexOf("
")...
trace("n: "+n) //traces "n: -1"

How do I convert a multiline of text from an input box into a single line of text except I would put a string of characters to replace the carriage return?
from:
Hello
world
I
[code]...
to:
Hello~|~world~|~I~|~am~|~here.
Tried this and other variants but doesn't work.
txt = txt.split(ASCII(13)).join("~|~");

I am developing an admin panel for an flash site. One of the sections contains large amount of text containing Carriage Returns. It can look as this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.
So from the text area the text goes to mysql and from mysql I generate an XML file. The problem is the xml file source is looking like this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.
This way in flash the text has some big spaces between phrases and I dont like it. How to generate XML file to be like this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.

I've been looking around but i couldn't find a solution for my pb..Here's what i do:
[AS]
onClipEvent (load) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT.htm");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
Now my text file is like that:
myNews=<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><B>This is bold 24 point text</B><P></P><P></P>blah blah</FONT>
As i could read on macromedia 's web site:Use an empty pair of <P></P> tags to insert a line break. Use two pairs to insert a line break and carriage return.But this isn't working.

So, what I'm trying to do can't really be that hard, I still can't get it to work properly...
So, I have two textfields and one button. Whenever I type a set message into one of the textfields and then press the button, I want the other textfield to return another set message. Probably the trickier part: this should work both ways.

I am embarrassed to admit that I am still working in Flash 6. But I am. I do not have the ability to upgrade at this point. I have created a contact form and all is working, but the input text is invisible to the end user. Oddly, anything that is typed is sent ok, they just can't see anything they are typing!

This is about fill in the blanks in flash 8 as2. In this i used input text fields and three buttons.In first frame i used multiple input text fields and a submit button. After filling all the blanks we click on submit button then in the second frame we will show the result like if the blank is correct it should change the color to green and if it is wrong it should change to red.and in the frame i have check button when we click on it will display all the answers. And when we click on analyse button we have to display the answer which the user types and the correct answers.And my problem is when we click on submit there is no difference in the blanks color all are in black only.

I'm doing a project for an education company that requires the use of a cursive font. The cursive font has many glyphs so that the characters can connect with each other. There are several versions of each letter so that they connect correctly to whatever letter is beside it. The glyphs work fine in InDesign and Illustrator, but not Flash. I tried embedding the entire Glyph set but that doesn't work.

I have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?

I am trying to create a TextField, set its type property to "input," set its format via the TextFormat object, and allow the user to add a label to a movieclip.
Assume you have a button named b_add, and you assign it this code on the main timeline:
Code:
_root.b_add.onRelease = function () {_root.createTextField("myLabel", 10, -38, -15, 76, 29.7);
_root.myLabel.type = "input";
_root.myLabel.text = "insert label";
_root.myLabel.wordWrap = true;
[Code]...
The TextField that gets created loses all of its formatting once the user starts typing. It reverts to Time New Roman and doesn't wrap. Do I have something out of order? Should I approach the problem with another solution?

I'm creating a simple quiz which has 3 questions. Each question has an input text field next to it for the user to type their answer. There is also one submit button underneath the 3 questions.
What I'm needing is some actionscript so they can only progress to the next frame by clicking the submit button once ALL 3 text fields have text in it. It doesn't have to detect any specific text, just that there is something put into each one. If there hasn't been, then it'll pop up with text asking them to complete all the questions first.

Trying to connect an input text field to a dynamic text field - each with different formatting (font, size and justification). So far I'm just using the properties box to format the text. Using a.2.0. It works easily in a small test, but in a larger .fla, the results dynamic text field retains the formatting of the input field.

I am wondering if there is a way to fill out fields in another website with the input text (or dynamic text) fields from my flash page.
I want to be able to have a sort of 'auto fill' function, where the 'username', 'password' etc. fields in my flash page get transfered to the other website's fields. I had the actionscript set up that looked like:
getURL("http://www,zimbio,com&username=" + userName + "&password=" + passWord)
(not sure if that was the exact way I had it, but you get the idea)
Anyways, some fields (like email and username) worked, but some (like password and 're-enter email', did not work.

I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing willtremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class.
