I'm attempting to put together a 'French Accents' keypad (basically a few buttons that insert a French character into a textfield when pressed). At the moment im having the following issues with it:
The french characters always appear at the end of the string despite where the cursor is focused.
I can't get the cursor/caret to focus after any letter generated by a press of a button rather than a keyboard input.
Here is my current button code:
ActionScript Code:
on(release){
//The getCaretIndex method returns the index of the blinking insertion point (caret) position.

I'm currently working on my first real software app. in flash. I'm currently still struggling with the checkboxes a bit. The problem is the math does not add up correctly I really don't know where I'm going wrong. Attached is the .fla. yes when you click on the different checkboxes it's supposed to add the total of each checkbox to the dynamic textbox.

basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?

View 1 Repliesbest way to create an effect as if text was being 'typed' onto the screen (i.e. text appears 1 letter at a time, not as a single block)?I was considering creating an array containing each letter that needed to be typed, then using a timer to display each letter in turn... but this seems rather inefficient, is there a better way to go about this?

View 10 RepliesThe last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit.

View 0 Replies my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
