ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Characters To Textbox With Buttons?
Mar 21, 2004
i want the user to click on the relevent button, and this will add an accented-character (such as "�" to the textbox they are typing in.here is my code so far:
1: when the user clicks this button, the accent is added to the input textbox, but they have to click on the textbox again before they can start typing.How can i set it so they can continue typing straight away?
2: - more importantly my rather basic code only adds a character to the end of the textbox-contents. At present, if a user wants to edit text they have typed, they cannot insert accents.How can i set it to add the character where the user has placed the (flashing) cursor?
I'm making a simple RPG platformer where a character will pass over an object. When the action key is pressed and the character is over top the object, I would like a block of text to appear on the stage with a close button to cancel out.
I would like to know how a person would go about making a "pop-up" text box.
I am doing a simple text effect that I found on the internet and modified so that it has a flashing cursor. The text effect uses a symbol that is a dynamic multi lined text box and was given the following code:
The problem I am having is trying to make the string "Do you need specific solutions?" run on two lines when the text is generated in the text box. I have already tried the obvious "Do you need specific solutions?"; and "Do you need specific solutions?";
I downloaded a flash template and I need to add special characters (Greek Language) to: fonts.fla. After editing the file the flash is not loading anymore.
Notice : This is an AS3 project and you can only add AS3 SWF files When publishing your custom SWF file be sure to add this method to your actionscript file: public function startModule():void { //inside this method you can start your transitions to show the content }
How would I add the name of an item in an array to a text box? I want to add the name of each item in an array to the text box depending which picture is being displayed.
Here is the situation: I have an XML document which I rip through using a for Loop, and I place the data into an array. From there I tell the data where to go. I have an attribute in my XML called 'link' which contains a URL, now I want to spit that out into a separate textbox and have it also link to the given URL. I have the URL stored in the array just fine, and I can even spit the URL into the textfield, my only question is how to make it link instead of just being normal text?
I hope I explained this well, but the basic gist of it is I have everything working except for adding the hyperlink.
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.
Each time I click the "fold_btn" I need to be able to add 10 points and display it in a text box (rot1_txt). Code: on (press) { _root.rot1_txt = 0; _root.rot1_txt = _root.rot1_txt + 10; } Not working!
I am generating the following text box and the data in it dynamically: _root.createTextField("recipe"+i+"_txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 5, 100, 600, 400); The problem I am having is the text that is generated only stays on one line and therefore doesn't fit into the text field. I know there is a way to add the multiline property to other types of components but can this be done dynamically?
I can't get the letterspacing property to function in a dynamic text box, I have tested it with color and it works just fine. just letterspacing. And I have embedded the font, so I know it isn't that. The code affecting the text box is this.
Code: var txt_box0:TextField var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); format1.letterSpacing = 4 //trace(format1.letterSpacing) txt_box0.setTextFormat(format1)
Those working with AS2 have had similar problems but managed to fix it by typing "setNewTextFormat", which has been phased out in AS3.
I have really no idea how to do this, but i have a textbox and a button.When this button is clicked, i want it to add "<b>" before the currently selected text in the textbox. How would i go by this?
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?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I am having issue with my created flash, it can't handle chinese characters? is there some way i can handle this thru code? or should there be any font or language pack installed
1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..
How do I add a label to a button? Using a component button, in CS3 it seemed quite straightforward however CS4 has me stumped. I am trying to make up a website with a row of buttons across the top to appear in all the pages. I have a controling page names portfolio.fla and several other pages to link in with this one. I have placed a button in the library from the components tab in the windows tab. Then dragged out 5 buttons and have them all working properly and linking up to the other pages, but when I went to place labels on them found myself having problems. Clearly not a good day for me.
Having got my AS to work nicely - I was happy as the everything fitted into to place - so I moved onto adding a few more buttons placed in some new MCs. problem: When I press buttons that having nothing to do with the main script a dynamic border ,that changes size to reveal a new picture when it is loaded after a preload, decides to do a loop. Even the main picture flickers as if it has also been reloaded even though that script is executed by a button with an instance name.
The border MC uses a onClipEvent (enterframe) command to initiate the script - does this mean it reponds everytime any MC has something happen to it? If so, can I somehow write the AS so that the onClipEvent refers to the event of a specific MC so it does not respond to all MC events?
Layer 1 Pages with labels and actionscript for that specific layer (stop, gotoandplay, and Uiloader source) Layer 2 is a Movieclip with a navbar Layer 3 Dropdown menu where buttons are placed inside a movieclip Layer 4 Actionscript
My problem is finding the correct way to link from a button inside a movieclip to a label inside another movieclip.
I am trying to add actions to my buttons i want the user to be sent to another page when the button is clicked. The action i have attached to the button is
The tutorial uses a multiline textbox to display data from MySQL but I wanted to know how I would code if I used a SINGLE LINE textbox and added a BACK AND NEXT BUTTONS to show one record at a time.
I saw on a website once (I wish I could remember which site it was), flash buttons that were creatively animated. The button would appear just as text, but when you hovered over it, an image would rise from behind it, then, when you moused off, the image would go back down. It did this for each of the buttons and I cannot figure out how to get that to work, especially since in CS4 with AS3 you cannot use AS on a button. It's also really difficult to add a motion preset to a button....
