How can you clear an input text field?
Say you have a user type a password in a text field, and if they get it wrong, what's a way actionscript can clear that text field so the user has a blank field to try and type into again?
I have something like this that doesn't work:
Code:
letrAOne = inputAOne;
if (letrAOne == "A") {
_root.letterAOne.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
else { inputAOne = "";
}
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.

I am building an interactive page where the user must type text in a text input box and then press Enter or click a hotspot on the page to proceed. I check the inputtext to see if it is the correct answer, and if it is, they advance to the next page. If it is not correct, they get incorrect feedback and they have to try again. Trying again is causing me problems because in is no longer "wkspcapt.substr(254, 9)". Here is the code I have so far. I think what I need to to is clear out whatever has been typed, but I am missing how to do it.
//check for correct key entry of "loan12345"
function checkCaption(Boolean):Void {
trace("inside checkCaption funtion");
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {

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.

how i can confine the text within the boundaries of the input text field instead of restricting to limited characters? I find that restricting to limited characters is a bit problematic as it depends on the number of words the user types on it.

I want to create an input text field that can be editable by the user and essentially when they click submit it turns this into HTML code with p, br, strong and em tags.
I don't know if it is possible, I assume it would be, but my searches are not turning up much.
I want the user to be able to select a section of text and click a B button to surround that selected text with strong tags, same for italics.
I also want to give the ability to at least record when the user presses enter in order it insert p tags and maybe even br tags if they press shift+enter
