ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting OnSetFocus Text Not Working?
Jul 29, 2006
I'm absolutely and completely dumbfounded by this problem...
Code:
target.txtField.onSetFocus = function() {
trace(inputText.getFieldText()); // custom function, outputs a string (ex. "name")
if (this.text == inputText.getFieldText()) {
this IF statement runs through fine
this.text = ""; // won't work, no matter if I set it to empy or anything...
}
}
I'm probably doing something very stupid here... but I can't figure out what. I've done my research, gone over examples online and in books, still not working. The text field goes blank, but I cannot type into it, and it loses focus (if I try using Selection.setFocus(this); it doesn't work).

I'm making a form and i want to set a backgroundColor for the textfields onSetFocus and that the backgroundColors dissapear again onKillFocus. So far I have this code
Code:
naam.onSetFocus = function(){
this.background = true;
this.backgroundColor = 0xdddddd;[code]....
but to me it seems that there must be a way to combine all this lines of code into one single function or at least two one for the setFocus and one for the killFocus.

I have a text box which I want to display a certain text on it when it loads, say, "demotext", for example. However, I want it to clear that text when the user clicks on it and then only displays stars when they type (as if it has turned into a password box when they clicked on it). So far I only have this:
ActionScript Code:
cancelcount.onSetFocus = function() {
cancelcount.text = "";

AS2, from an email form for my website:
instance: from_txt, var: from
the onKillFocus part works great, the onSetFocus does not. The input text has "your name here" typed in to begin with.
from_txt.onSetFocus = function() {
if (from == "your name here") {
from = "";
}
};

I have a form with numerous input boxes. I've set tab orders to tab through the fields. In this scenario, I actually LIKE the edge highlight that appears around the textField when tabbing through them. However, this dissappears for any textFiled that I placed an onSetFocus event

I have a VBox that I am populating programatically, After a particular event (dragDrop) I do some calculations, reorder some variables, then re-build the VBox. This all works great, but I want the VBox to scroll back to the correct verticalScrollPosition. I tried even the simplest thing: myVBox.verticalScrollPosition = 200But I just can't get it to set the scroll position after it's rebuilt.
Edit: per Franky's response I realized that my dragDrop function was calling the rebuilder function then the position setter function back to back, which means it wasn't done being built when it was trying to set. Now I'm passing the position I want the box set to to the rebuilder function which sets the scroll position at the end of building the VBox and everything works out great.

It works nice when i play the movie, but when i load it from my main movie it doesnt works (obvious, "_main" changes to be the movie that is loading). Now, i used "_parent" but it doesnt work, "this" neither; so, thats my problem, when i load the movie with this code inside, into another movie it won't work. =(

I'm pulling in a xml-file with just one result in it. One of the nodes is picture, which contains a link to a picture. This is the xml-file:
<artist>
<id>502</id>
<name>Bad Religion</name>
[Code]....
I've tested the url, and it's correct. This is how I try to bind the url to the image instance (artistPic), but it's not working. Displaying the artist name does work.
var artist:XMLList = new XMLList(event.result);
artistPic.source = artist.picture;
lblArtistName.text = artist.name;

I want to assign different formatting to different segments of text in a textfield. I tried assigning a format to a string and then concatinated it to the text and it was not accepted.How would I assign different formatting in the same textfield?
code follows:
format assigned to the textfield:
var sngTitle:TextField = new TextField(); sngTitle.text = 'Title: ';var sngTtlForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); sngTtlForm.font = "Stencil Std"; sngTtlForm.italic = true; sngTtlForm.color = 0xffcc00; sngTtlForm.size = 24; text I want to add to the above textfield:[code]................

It's what this image describes:For some reason, I cannot use bold tags to set the TLF text to bold, even though both the regular and bold fonts are embedded.so that the webpage that embeds this movie can call its function (otherwise the movie itself will be wrapped by TLF).his is not exactly a question since there is an obvious solution to this. Just set the htmlText as something like "<font face='Myriad Web Pro'><b>BOLD</b></font>" and you're done.hs issue is, why does it not render the bold text without the font tag in the first place, if I have already set the font of the TLF text in the PI?

I'm trying to get the letters in a word (each letter is an individual text object) to cycle through three different colors when clicked. Right now, all they do is change from their original color, blue, to black when clicked. No further "cycling" occurs. I'm appending the code. The part of interest is (probably?) in what is presently (and inaccurately) the "traceTextEvent()" function/method. It starts around line 90 of the code.

I create a dynamic text object on my stage. I set the family to Arial and style to Bold. When I change the text by setting the .text to something else, the bold goes away and it just becomes Regular. How can I make it stay Bold?

I'm having difficulty setting the text of a dynamic text field when using an if statementI have a gallery and thumbnails, which gives each image a picNum, ie 1, 2 etc;When I click on the thumbnails, it sets the picNum accordingly.What I want to do is set the caption depending upon my picNum, so I set a function to change the caption depending upon the picNum that is called when the thumbnail is clicked. Ie.
caption = function() {
if(picNum=1) {_root.caption.text = "image 1 caption"};
if(picNum=2) {_root.caption.text = "image 2 caption"};

I'm using the tutorials on [URL] to show me how to work through things. However, when I am trying to type text using the TFL setting, I get nothing but a blue box. I open a blank file, select the Text tool. It comes up with the cross-hair the a small capital T to the bottom right. I click on the stage to make the text box from the dotted lines/marching ants, then as soon as I let go, it snaps to the top left corner as a blue box. And every time I repeat this,each subsequent box snaps to the top left corner. When I click the selection tool, and make a box around the corner, all the different blue boxes I made fro my text tool is shown, but I still can't type even a single letter!

I need to create a Flash Quiz with the following:
1.) A page with a question, including a "submit" button, and an Input Text field where the user can type in his answer.
2.) A page with "Correct" and a page with "Incorrect".I have already gotten the pages and graphics created. But for the life of me my Action script is not working. The tutorials I have looked at would help me if I were making the quiz one total page where when you answered the question there would be a comment that came up, but that's not the case.

Any way to set the text that initially appears within a ComboBox without actually making it a selection? I have a ComboBox that initially starts out with one selection labeled "Select One". When you click on the ComboBox, the first selection in the list is "Select One". Is there a way to tell the ComboBox to just say "Select One" when it first hits the stage without making it editable?

I'm trying to create a dynamic text field which displays the first number contained in an array named _root.arr. I set var to "_root.arr[0]" to catch the first number in the array. Unfortunately it doesn't work because it shows just a blank text field.
I've also noticed that if I just set var to "_root.arr" all the numbers contained in the array will be displayed separeted by a comma.
So, how can I just display the first number in the array?

I have a little issue im trying to resolve. Basically i want to inherit the embedded text format properties from one text field which i have off the stage (empty) to another text field i have on stage. Ive came across the function of getTextFormat(), however when i try to apply this to the other text field it doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
onStageTextField.getTextFormat(offStageTextField);
Ive embedded italics into my test field which is off stage. I guess im doing this completely wrong?! I know i could simply create a new TextFormat() then apply that to the text field but is there a way of inheriting the format properties of one tex tfield to another on stage?
