I have a frame on my movie that will have two input boxes where you can write in team names, and then have a button that will go to the next frame where the games is. When the movie goes to that frame I would like the text that was written in the input box in the previous frame to be retained and used in a dynamic text box to display the team names/s.
View 1 RepliesI'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:

If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?
View 7 RepliesI've just been called onto a bug in an application that I didn't build.We have a master application, running at 40fps, which loads .swf components with embedded movies in.Last week, all the videos started playing too fast.The videos are rendered to .flv at 25fps.Is there a way to enforce that embedded videos retain their native frame-rate?
View 1 RepliesI'm working for a client that needs me to put a lot of information into flash. He had someone do all the typing and all that in word, with formating and I went through and changed text colors where needed, and now when I'm trying to put it all into flash, it doesn't take any formatting at all. No indents, none of the bold settings, and none of the color settings. I really can't re-do all of the formatting, it would take ages and ages. There must be some way to get this formatting into flash from word (actually using a free program called bean, because i can't even get a copy/paste from word to work at all)

I am working on a sort of photo gallery and I would like to know if the following is possible:I'd like to create an option where you can fill in a name in a input text box and press a button so you automatically go to the photo of that person. The input text box is called namebox, the frames with pictures of the persons have frame names like bob, franca and patrick. The button next to the input box has this script:
on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (namebox == "Bob") {
gotoAndStop ("scene2", "bob");

How can I store a text input so that I can use it on another frame? I tried storing it into variables on a frame and using it on another frame but there was an error that the variable was undefined. (Location of error on the second frame)

On frame 1, the user inputs data into the input text boxes and hit's the "calculate" button (also located on page 1).The calculations are displayed in the dynamic text fields on frame 1but aren't appearing on frames 2 and 3. Anyone know how to get the calcs to show up on frames other than where the calculation button is located?

I have a movieclip (named "checklist")with a great number of input text boxes in it. This clip is used early in the my movie (frame 1) and again at frames 20 and 30. The problem is that in the later frames the information the user typed in the first frame is no longer there. Now I could use the var parameter and set it to _root for all of the boxes, but I've been told that the var parameter is a bad way to go. Rather, I should use the name option instead, i.e. "myText_txt". I tried experimenting with objects, but I am not a programmer and so I am probably doing this wrong.
[Code]....
So, I am looking for a best practice. Should I just use the var parameter? That way all of the text fields update when the movie hits frames 20 and 30.
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:

View 2 Repliesthe 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. 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:
Code:
//
function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {

This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?
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 1 RepliesI am using php to read a file (specified by a cookie on the users machine) with the function readfile(). The file I am reading is an actionscript 3 flash file that depends on a configuration file appended to the url to function properly. Ex: [URL]. When I use readfile - the headers are set properly and the swf is returned to the browser which then runs it. I have discovered that using this method the config file (CONFIG_URL) has to be appended to the php file's url to be read properly by the swf - as the swf considers the path to the php file it's own. This is fine when these are the only two elements involved - but when loading the php>read(swf) combination into another swf - the 'read' swf returns a url that is null (using this.root.loaderInfo.url) and therefore fails to execute properly as there is no config file (CONFIG_URL). How can I load in a swf file from a php page (using readfile, fopen, whatever) and pass in $get parameters?
View 1 RepliesI have a .swf file that has all of its assets loaded through xml to make the file modular. However, when I try moving the published .swf file to a different directory, I need to bring the xml file and all the assets along as extra baggage.
Is there any way to create a .swf that can load these assets during publish, and retain them? I'm currently trying to make another .swf, load it into that one, and using Adobe Air to update it with everything loaded, but I don't think this is the right direction.
I would prefer to avoid using a wrapper, but if there is no other option I will look into it.

I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.

View 6 RepliesI am working on a project with several collaborators who edit the project through XML files that are read into the flash file. The final swf file will be distributed across thousands of websites, and we are not allowed to include any other files with the swf. Is there any way to read in the XML, compile the swf with all of that information intact and then not have to have those XML files with the swf to run it?
View 2 RepliesI use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
