I've just discovered that using a stylesheet on an input textfield renders it uneditable. Does anyone one know of a work-around? Trying to build a text editor for a backend project, but it seems to have crashed before takeoff.
View 1 RepliesI want to style input text, so i created a stylesheet.I made a input textfield, loaded the external stylesheet, defined the textfields stylesheet, and boom it works.Except, i cant type anything into the text field.
View 1 Replieslets say i have a file system like this:
Main.swf
/myfolder/Sub.swf
/myfolder/Sub.php
what if i need the Sub.swf to always find the native php file eather it gets loaded into main.swf or gets played from local folder and i can't use full paths. is it possible to load Sub.swf into Main.swf and make sure that Sub.swf still thinks /myfolder/ as home?
I have a TextField which styleSheet i want to change at runtime.For testing I created a new .FLA put a Textfield on stage, set it to dynamic, named it mytxt and added some AS3:[code]Well nothing changed I still have a default black text when I publish the swf.My goals:
- Set a TextField in Flash IDE
- set the font, weight, color, size etc.
- apply a styleSheet containing colors for links
The tutorials for using CSS in Flash seem pretty straightforward, but for some reason they just don't work for me. I'm using this code:
Code:
this.createTextField("myText", 1, 100, 100, 300, 100);
myText.multiline = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.html = true;
[code]....
When I Debug>Variables, there is one line in particular that seems to be the key:
Variable _level0.myFormat = undefined
I am trying to attach a styleSheet to a textField. If I have a tag defined in the css file it will not show in the textField. all the other text is there just not the link (a {font-weight: bold;} is the only thing in my css file).
I tried adding a <p> tag to the text and the css - then all my text disappeared.I deleted everything out of the css file (while still attaching it to the textField in flash). and all my text showed including the link, which worked. But it naturally had no style.
I can't find out how to apply a stylesheet to a text field. It just does not work.This is the css:
Code:
p {
font-size: 24;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-style: italic;
[code]....
I'm trying to put some leading on a body of text, however it doesn't seem to work after a stylesheet has been applied. Without the stylesheet it works..
Here's what im doing:
ActionScript Code:
//CSS
cssStyle = function(my_txt){

i was trying to make a simple analog clock flash but when i try to make a new Date() line that pops:

I'm trying to update some TextField's style, eg. color, fontSize, fontFamily. I'm creating field by:
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.parseCSS("p{color: #000000; fontFamily: System; fontSize: 20px;}");
textField.styleSheet = style;

What easiest way to place cursor (focus?) into an textfield input box for receiving user input after an event?
View 1 RepliesHave an Input textfield and write e.g. 123 in it (This is on frame 1).Then later in frame 3 I want that number to be shown in a Dynamic textfield.How do I do that?
View 0 RepliesI am going nuts here. I've searched exhaustively, and cannot seem to find anyone else experiencing my issue, so it must be something elementary I am not grasping. I'm creating TextFields dynamically, for use as input boxes:

I try to get input from a textfield of type INPUT and save its numerical value on a couple of variables, but when i enter for example 1 or any digit i get Nan in the trace debug, after i put another digit i get the first after i put another one i get the first two and so on so forth. What i am doing wrong? Here some snippets from my code.
xSpeedField.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, inputXCapture);
private function initField(field:TextField, label:String, x:uint, y:uint):void {
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

I want the form with its mc to make the main movie stop from playing while peaple are filling up the form.... I tried using 2 methods both with no luck....1st method : I've put the rollover action on the whole mc - but then I can't select the textfiled to actully fill them up...2nd method: I've put the rollover action on every little bit of the mc ( input textfileds, send button, background) - but then when I move from one textfiled to another it sometimes plays the movie again - althogh I didn't leave the mc area yet....here is the code sample:
form2.back.onRollOver = function(){
stop();
}
[code].....
The default value text displays, but when you click into them to type nothing appears.I've tried embedding fonts, making sure I use th Font class, even setting them to _sans and system font, but nothing. Totally at my ropes end before I wind up re-writing most of this thing.These really should be TextInputs, I know, but this is some other f*cker's crap work I'm cleaning up and I don't feel like refactoring the rest of his garbage.

you're ganna need the fla file. i made it simplify. not complicated. [URL]
I'm having a weird problem with AS3/CS5: I have a textfield, and I'm playing around with focusing on it at various points. At one point,I set focus to the textfield (which only accepts 1 character), then add an Event.CHANGE listener to it. This works fine, except when I type the letter 'a' (or 'A'). Nothing happens until I click on the text field and type 'a.' I don't have to do the second click with any other character, and before I do the second click, the cursor is blinking in the box. Not sure what to do...

What I'm trying to do is pretty simple, I'm just getting lost in the syntax of it..I have a piece of code that loads a textfield to the stage and sets it to "Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically"on the stage I have a text input box named t1input And a button next_btn
What I am wanting to happen is to have the text automatically load into the text field that is set in the code ("Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically") And then have it where the user can type into the text box, press the "next" button and then the text in the text field is changed to be whatever the user has typed in the text box.[code]...
I have a wierd problem with input textfield losing its formatting.The format of the textfield (font, size, align..) is defined inside the .fla.When first added to stage, the textfield has these properties:
defaultTextFormat = flash.text.TextFormat (@97c7ab9)
align = "right"
blockIndent = 0

first off I guess I should say that I'm pretty much a beginner to flash Anyways, what I'm trying to do is make it so when the user inputs something into the textfield, depending on what they said specifically, it takes them to a certain scene. So far I am able to communicate with just text between a few people, but they are not able to perform other actions such as the movement of their mouth when they are speaking which is what I would like also. I've included an attachment of what I have so far (it was given to me by a member at the official macromedia flash forums),

I have created an array of TextFields to create something close to an editable grid. Have applied some formatting (font size, etc.) on each of these TextFields. But when I test my movie and add something in one of these boxes, the text does not appear with formatting
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to refer to the text in an input text field. The name of the fields are attr1, attr2, attr3...... This works fine when I type;
my_mc.var1.text,
my_mc.var2.text......
In order not to type the name of all the fields, I want to do it in a loop, and put the results into an array;
[AS]
for(i; i<(number_of_attr+1); i++) {
var nr = new LoadVars();
var attr_nr = new LoadVars();
var suggestion = new LoadVars();
attr_nr = i.toString();
[Code] .....
It only works when I type attr1, attr2 .....

View 6 RepliesI have an input box where a user enters in a temperature in Celsius and a dynamic text box where the converted Fahrenheit value appears. All is working well, but I want to keep the user's entered Celsius number constant in the input box and not disappear; that way they can't forget the original number they entered to get the conversion.
View 8 Replieswhen I parse my input-textfield and setTextFormat, everything works fine, but when I write something between the newly formatted part of the the, suddenly the formatting spreads over the whole texfield.
Is there any way (besides .htmlText="") to get rid of text formatting-tags. (maybe something simpler than a html-parser or so?)
is it possible to set a tlf or textfield to a fixed numer of lines for keyboard input?
