I'm detecting key presses with the follow code:
main.as
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
I have created an input textbox and a dynamic textbox. My idea is to enter something into the input textbox, and on pressing ENTER key it would show up in the dynamic textbox. When I press ENTER, the text dissapears from the input txt, and nothing happens.

I have an arrow which I can control with the UP and DOWN keys. They move to a specific y coordinate when I press the arrow keys. What I want is when the "play" text is "selected" by the arrow to go to a frame called "levelone". But I can't make it work This is my current code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
[code].....
I want to catch the enter key press when the user is filling an input text field in AS3.I think I have to do something like this:
nputText.addEventListener(Event. ? , func);
function func(e:Event):void{
if(e. ? == "Enter"){
[code]....
When the user hits enter, their input is to be compared to an existing input, then stored if there is no match. The problem is, the file is storing the "enter" key as well, so the database input looks like this:
word/r
instead of just
word
Code:
//user presses enter to enter their tag
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkTag);
function checkTag(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
[Code].....

View 1 Repliesusing buttons to enter digits into a dynamic text field. An example would be an atm machine, where you select digits 0 - 9, you can hit OK or Cancel to clear the field. I can use...
on (release) {
AddDigit("1");
}
...to enter the individual digits.Things that I am unclear about:
(1) How do I link the various buttons to the specific text field.
(2) How do I create the OK button to initiate another action, such as playing a movieclip etc.
(3) How do I cancel the items currently in the field.
I have looked over various tutorials on making calculators, but it is very complex for my skill level.
I installed Flash CS5 on my Mac but I have problems with testing movieclips. When I press CMD + Enter I get the Error:
"Fehler beim –ffnen der URL 'file:////Volumes/myuser/.....file.swf'"
When I publish the movieclip, all it's ok and I can watch the video in my browser.But this way is not useful for developing AS.
If I want to load dynamic text without having to press a button. I want it to load in the first frame of my movie automatically when it loads. What should I do? What I have so far on a button is :
on (press) {
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("home.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

I have a text chat program which let users input text message.
I want them able to input text by pressing 'Enter' key on keyboard.
Code:
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){
addTextMessage();
}
It has compiled error on AS3. How should I fix it?
enter key press call function AS3 I know this been covered, but for some reason i can not get this to work. I want the enter key to perform the same function as the submit button here.

I wrote a code that's suppose to change the number in a dynamic text when I press a button,<br>What did I do wrong?
Object(root).currentNum=1;
Object(root).pageNum.text = Object(root).currentNum;
Object(root).arrowLeft.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, arrowLeftClick);
function arrowLeftClick (e:MouseEvent):void{
Object(root).currentNum-=1;
}
now it's only showing me the number 1.
I have a button object, I want to be able to control with the ENTER/RETURN key on the keyboard so when ever I press the ENTER key, the button object goes into onPress stage.

status_txt.text = "Client "+images[0]+" 1st Floor:Advertising";

View 7 RepliesI *know* this is simple. I've read every thread on this board pertaining to this (including senocular's Best Of thread), done everything there and this still doesn't work and I can't see why.
I feel like an idiot even asking, because I've seen the examples and lengthy tutorials.
All I want to do, is change the color of a dynamic text field when you press a button. But I want the name of the field to be a variable.
Now, this is what's there:
1. the variable "_root.expinttype1" is equal to "branch" and is set elsewhere.
1a. There is an existing dynamic field called "branch" on screen.
2. On the button release I set the format:
[Code]....
Why? I set a dummy variable txt = _root.expinttype1; and even threw it into a text field to verify the data, and it shows "branch", so why doesn't this work?
I'm very new to Flash, and I'm not a programmer, I have an Input text box named txtNe2 where a user will type an answer to a question. I want to evaluate the answer when the user pushes the Enter key and respond by sending the movie to either the "Ne2C" frame or the "Ne2I" frame (for the response to the correct or incorrect answer).

View 3 RepliesAnyone know of any good classes or functions that will do this? I've found some regexes but what I need is to pass the string to a method and have it return the same string, but with urls turned blue and turned into hyperlinks. Seems like a fairly common task, but I can't find anything.
