ActionScript 2.0 :: Pass Text From Form Text Field To A Flash Dynamic Text Field?

Feb 3, 2007

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:

Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}

Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Calculator - Clear The Text Field Then Store The New Input In The Same Text Field As A Different Variable

Mar 30, 2006

I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Contents Of A Text Field As The Dial Points In The Direction Of The Text Field?

Nov 15, 2004

I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.

Is it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?

I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.

Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Field From An Input Text Field

Dec 16, 2010

What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.

Professional :: Pass The Contents Of The Text Field To Another Text Field?

Nov 8, 2010

I've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
 
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field.  But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text     - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
 
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
 
for (var i:uint = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++){    trace (this.getChildAt(i).name + ' type:' + typeof (this.getChildAt(i))+ ' ' + this.getChildAt(i));}
 
it returns:
 
instance370     type:object    [object Shape]mediaImportName001     type:object    [object TextField]mediaFiletype001     type:object    [object TextField]
 
How do I get Flash to give me the text in mediaImportName001?  
 
It's bizarre - this.getChildAt(i).name
 
from above gives me...
 
mediaImportName001     ,
 
yet
trace (["mediaImportName"+thisNum].name); 
 
returns undefined (thisNum represents an increment I use to name multiple clips and text fields, and in this case trace(thisNum); returns 001)

AS3 :: Setting A Dynamic Position For A Text Field Relative To Another Dynamic Text Field

Dec 8, 2010

I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.

Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.

//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

ActionScript 2.0 :: Drag And Drop To Grid With Snap To And Text Handles?

Dec 30, 2005

The app allows the user to drag images from a libray onto a grid and position the elements within the grid. The user can also drag textfields which can be edited and resized.The grid needs to have some sort of snap-to, to make it easier for the user to line up the elements. And then I need to create resize handles around both the editable text fields and the other mc's. Has anyone seen a tutorial or can anyone help me with?

1. Drag and drop with a snap to grid

2. Resize handles for mc's, and inparticular textfields

In the end, I need to be able to track all of the x and y's of the elements on stage and then be able to rebuild their layout when it is loaded in a subsequent session. I'm sure this is going to be difficult.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MX04 Rendered HTML Text Causing Display Within Text Field?

May 8, 2009

I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.

Flex :: 4 - Add An Extra Text Field To The Button Component And Dynamically Change Text?

Jan 27, 2011

I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.

Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
