I am completely stuck on why I cannot change my text. I want to change the text of some textboxes via actionscript on the 1st frame of the main timeline.
I have 3 rows of text (Action, Condition, Standard) in 2 columns. I cannot change the text in the 2nd column at all. [URL]..
I'm working on an interface with an option to enter html code, and then click a button to render what's in the text box as html, and if needed convert it back to plain text to edit the html code again.I know you can change whether text boxes render their contents as html using text.html = true/false but it doesn't do it if the text box contains anything and setting the contents to "" before changing it doesn't seem to work either. Does this make any sense? If so does anyone know how I can do it?
View 6 RepliesI have an input text box with the instance inputnameone. On another page I have a dynamic text box with the instance outputnameone. When I press button with the instance "submit", I want the information in inputnameone to go into output name one. From the basic as3 I've been able to learn I've written this actionscript:
submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, transfernameone);
function transfernameone(e:MouseEvent):void {
outputnameone.text = inputnameone.text;

The idea is when I click on a movieclip I want the input textbox to show the value of one of that movieclip's properties. Then I can change the value using the textbox if I want to.
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to use arrays with textboxes. What I initially wanted to do was have 3 textboxes ( a, b and c) and when the user inputs information into the textboxes:
Textbox A: Tea
Textbox B: Coffee
Textbox c: Softdrink
It stores the information into an array that I can later view and call upon these strings inputted into the array.

View 3 RepliesDoes anybody know any reason why I can't use variables loaded from a text file using loadVariablesNum anywhere but in the Var field of a text box? If I try this:
The loadVariablesNum ("textfile.txt",0);it loads the textvariable1=3.14159&variable2=cowfrom the text file, and if I make 2 dynamic text boxes with the Var parameter as variable1 and variable2, they'd have "3.14159" and "cow" show up in them when I run the script. So I know that the textfile is being read and the variables are being loaded.But if I try newvar1=variable1;newvar2=variable2;in my code, and then put newvar1 and newvar2 in my textbbox Var, I get nothing in them. I should be able to assign the newvar variable the same value as variable1, but I can't. trace (variable1);should output the text "3.14159" when run, but it displays "undefined" every time.Every site I have been to says I should be able to access my loaded variable values simply by using variable1, or _root.variable1, or _level0.variable1, but none of these work any differently.
I can assign an instance name to the textbox and then assign a value to that instance name, and if I do that, assuming the instance name is "box")

I have created some input text boxes using AS3. For starters, unless I set the text in the code to = " " you can't type in them. Secondly if I click on each box individually I can type in them. However if I tab through them I can't. Here is a link to the site I'm working on. I'm referring to the calendar / bookings form on the first page. To see the form just click on a date after today.

View 3 RepliesI had an onEnterFrame script that would make a cypher of some letters for you. I thought it would be great if I could wrap the code in a function so I could apply it to multiple textboxes at once. Since doing it (wrong!) it only actually does what its supposed to on one of the textboxes. What am I doing wrong?
To make this work you'll need a two textboxes, one with an instance name of text_one and one called text_two
Actionscript Code:
// The String that will reveal itselfcypher_characters("text_one", 10, 5, 2, text_one);cypher_characters("text_two", 10, 5, 2, text_two);function cypher_characters(characters, time_until_start, time_between, frequency,

Any quick way to check a dynamic textbox to see if it has text is there a function to do it?
View 4 RepliesI have two input text boxes. I need to enter a number (1900) into the first box then hit the 'Enter' button, then enter a number (50) into the second box right below the first.
After the 'Enter' button is pressed it needs to lock-in the required value, by selectable = false.
My problem is...I can get the first number to work. I type in the number, press 'Enter', it changes the textbox value to selectable = false...everything is good for that part.
But the second number is where I am having trouble, it seems the function is called, but that's it...nothing else happens.
I'm trying to make a banner whic the user can edit his Preferences in a xml file. My xml file looks like below.

the goal is that i can parse the item associated with textboxes. as you can see i'l try my best but i kinda stuck on the second forloop.
Is if i have a textbox, name_txt, i can clear it with a function[code]....
which is great, but i don't just have one textbox. i have lastName_txt, age_txt, etc. how can i reuse my one function for multiple textboxes?
I am new to flash and trying to output numbers I have put into textboxes with a button.
My code so far:
var myArray: Array = new Array();
myArray.push(Number(textbox1.text))
myArray.push(Number(textbox2.text))
myArray.push(Number(textbox3.text))
button1.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myArray);
});
So I have made 3 textboxes and a button, I run this and when I input info into these textboxes and hit the button it displays 0,0,0 like it doesn't read the numbers I have inputted into the textbox.
In the video tutorials and they use the character option in the properties of textInputs or textboxes or whatever, but I dont have a character option in my properties. All i see is Color Effect, Display, and Component Parameters. So i tried going to text and then to embed fonts but I still get an error saying i need to embed my fonts. Where can I set the fonts for text boxes to use? Is there something wrong with my Flash Professional or what?

don't submit the RSVP, as I don't want to spam my client, but just tell me if you see the radio buttons and if you can fill out the textboxes.
I'm loading a set of images and text from an XML file.I have the images loading into empty MovieClips created dynamically using 'createEmptyMovieClip', and I can get the text into dynamic textboxes that already exist on the timeline, but this isn't exactly what I want.
What I wan't to do, is to pull the text from the XML directly into dynamic textboxes at runtime, in the same way as the images.I've read today about 'createEmptyTextField', but I can't get it to work.
you can only change the color if you hit enter. I need a way to detect and run the function if a textbox becomes unselected. Also, I'd like it if the textbox could become unselected if I clicked outside of it (rather than having to click on another textbox).

I figured I'd try to get going really easy, just do a input box, when you click on a button, a dynamic box displays whatever is in the input box. I cant get it to work though .

View 1 RepliesI have 7 Dynamic Text Boxes, each with a numeric value.. I need to add them together.
Total = (ST2 + DO + GA + BO + CT + HT + TI);
This makes it 0000000 (Assuming each Dynamic Text had a 0 in it)
Total = (ST2 ++ DO ++ GA ++ BO ++ CT ++ HT ++ TI);
