ActionScript 2.0 :: Tracking Words In Input TextBox
Sep 10, 2011
I have an input box and I want it to track if anywhere in the text box a certain word is typed then something happens. Here is what I got so far.
Code:
wordTracker = new Object();
wordTracker = function () {
if(txt_input.split == "word"){
trace("success");
}} Key.addListener(wordTracker);
But it doesn't work. An example of what I want to happen is for instance lets say the user enters this into the textbox "I like to type a word into documents" because the word "word" was typed in there it would trigger the trace action but it doesn't how do i get this to work?

I'm making a project in which I have a input/output text box. I'm trying to restrict the words that are able to be said in the input box, but I can't seem to figure out how I'd do that. I'd think that I'd use .replace, and possibly an if function which tells it that if a word used does not equal the allowed words, to replace it with something such as ###.

I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.

I'm trying to isolate words entered by the user into an "Input Text" (command). In a function that executes every time a key is pressed, I set a string, "newTxt", to the text entered.[code]This works fine; I'm able to check the string "newTxt". However, this checks the entire command rather than one word. When I replace line 2 with:[code]it freezes. In theory, it should add every letter until it reaches a space or ends, right? Could anyone find my mistake? Also, how would I go about checking for the second word (after a space)?

I know that this has to be something simple, but it's still kicking my butt.I put an input textbox on a layer and everything looks fine.I play the movie and no textbox?If I put a filter on it, it will show up but otherwise it looks like there is nothing there.Not even the border is visible.All of the static text is good, just no input box.

Apparently when a swf is loaded, the application does not have immediate focus. Even if the code
stage.focus = myInputBox
is in the constructor, the user must tab or click the inputbox to obtain focus.

Maybe someone knows what's up. I've got an input textbox and a dynamic textbox, and I've got a key listener so that whenever you type in the input appears in the output. I've embedded numbers and cap letters in both. This works locally, but when I put it live, you can't type anything into it?If you paste any content into it, it works fine, but, typing it doesn't. The weird part is it works when previewed in flash but not on a server.If you check the 'Custom plate' at the bottom of the 2nd column of options, it sets focus to the input box, and there the trouble happens.I'm thinking it's something with the key listener? I'll try to put the code here for your scrutiny. Weird that it's putting in a space in 'function' of the onrelease, that's not how it is, but also I don't think that part is the problem, but just something with the forum here.[code]

Right now I'm us Flash CS4 and creating a flash program in AS3. After a certain frame the dynamic text boxes that I have set up refuse to display text when required. I've gone over every line of code and every possible set up and I can't understand why it will not work. I've made sure all the dynamic text boxes have the instance names properly in place naming them all "talkBox". I've made sure all the code is written properly talkBox.text = "Insert Text Here!" There should be absolutely no reason in the world why the dynamic text boxes shouldn't be working.

For some reason every time I insert a multiline input textbox, when I play my video and click on the texbox it puts the cursor on the second line of the texbox. I'm not sure why a second line was even available as the textbox should be empty. Anybody else experience this issue?

I have four input text boxes that I want a user to enter numbers. I have their instance names provided on the textbox itself, but nothing declared in the AS. I have one total box as a dynamic, with the name totalbox. If i wanted to have the total box display the sum of all numbers from the input boxes, how would one go about this. I've seem formulas around, just not sure how to get the numbers to actually show up in the dynamic total box.

I have 3 input text boxes and I want to display a different part of an XML file to display (in a different textbox) depending on what input textbox has been selected.
I have achieved this by using 3 separate functions and it works fine but I want to use a switch statement within one function to achieve the same result. So the user will click on a textbox which calls the function and switches depending on the textbox to load the text from an XML file.
I don't know if using a switch statment in this way is even possible to do.
Code looks like this:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Manual.xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var manual:XML;

First project using flash and im having some problems with a combobox function im trying to apply. I have a combobox that I hope when selected populates an input text box on another frame. When I test when the input text box is on the same frame the code below works and the selection is shown, but i want to show the input text field on another frame and this doesnt work.
myCombobox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, myHandler);
function myHandler(evt:Event):void{
selectedLabel.text = myCombobox.selectedItem.label;
selectedData.text = myCombobox.selectedItem.data;
selectedIndex.text = myCombobox.selectedItem.index;

I am setting a string variable to the value of a input box in my movie but Flash also seems to be adding a (Carrage Return) to the end of it's value. This is not something i am typing. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong, i can't seem to find where it is coming from. If this is normal, what is the best way to prevent this from happening as it is causing me problems when i use this variable later.

I got this code:
Code:
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)&&_root.answer==_root.youranswer)
{
//game over code here
}
However the "youranswer" variable is represented by the value in an input textbox and when I push enter, it just blanks it out and it never matches.
If I change it from Key.ENTER to Key.SHIFT, it works.
But this game: [URL]
has it where it can detect Enter and do a check with an input text box. How does that work?

I have quite a weird problem..I have an input text field and AS written for it to change it's content with "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions.
The problem is that when I add a "MediaDisplay" component to the scene input text's "onKillFocus" and "onSetFocus" functions won't work and as well as some other problems apear..I've seen that for these 2 functions I have to export with flashplayer 8 and so it is.
