View 2 RepliesI have several input text fields in flash. For instance, email and password to login. I also have a button that responds to the Enter key (to submit the data). Everything works perfectly until I use the tabIndex property in ActionScript. The moment I define those 2 text fields as tab Indexes the Enter Key does not execute the submit button. I can only click the button with the mouse.
I have:
userName.tabIndex=1;
password.tabIndex=2;
Where userName and password are the text field names. TabIndex works then but not the Enter key. It's only one or the other. How can I make Tabindex and Enter key Compatible?
I have two movieclips in a single Fla to which I would like to attach the following AS:
leftBtn.onPress=function(){
getURL("url01");
}
rightBtn.onPress=function(){
getURL("url02");
}
The code works as far as fetching the urls, but the rollovers no longer function. Does anyone no a way around this? Apart from putting the clips in separate Flas, which increases the download time significantly...
So I have a MC called "slider" slider has multiple graphics and clips and buttons in it. I have an event handler that tells the "slider" clip to move when you rollover and to move back when you rollout. Problem is that anything you rollover in the parent clip, once rolled off, even thought it is still in the parent clip, it triggers the rollout action.
Code:
this.slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, slideOvr);
this.slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, slideOut);

issue is that when a user clicks a datagrid cell that has a combobox editor and then immediately clicks away from the cell, the text value in that cell disappears. I have an itemEditEnd handler on the datagrid and it shows the value of the property I use as the editorDataField just fine. But the labelFunction (which gets called after the itemEditEnd handler) on that grid column sees it as zero. Why aren't the labelFunction and item editor playing together nicely? Here is the DataGridColumn:

When my focus is inside the input text field, pressing CTRL+ENTER works but ENTER does not.Pressing Enter when my focus is anywhere BUT the input text field works just fine..My intention is to detect if ENTER key was pressed after the user fills out the field, but it seems to only work for CTRL+ENTER

I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...
I have a main swf and some nav items which load in external swfs. This all works but it needs to be accessible. No problem. I created a set of alt nav buttons for tabbing. This works. what doesn't work is when an external swf is loaded in I can't the extranal swf to get the focus. It just stays on the buttons on the main swf.For buttons on the main swf I have set the tabIndex and in the external swf those buttons have their tabIndex's set and all are unique numerically.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way to set focus to the next item in the tabIndex? So for example (in psuedo code): stage.focus = whatever the next item in the tabIndex is
Maybe something like tabIndex.next? I know this doesn't work because I already tried it, but maybe something like it?

I have a series of dynamically generated textfield boxes that form a grid and I want users to enter a single character and then have the focus change to the next box. I have had all kinds of issues trying to reference the next textfield using the instance name I gave them when they are generated, so I thought if there was a way to just automatically go to the next item in the tabindex, that would be perfect.
I have a form with numerous input boxes. I've set tab orders to tab through the fields. In this scenario, I actually LIKE the edge highlight that appears around the textField when tabbing through them. However, this dissappears for any textFiled that I placed an onSetFocus event
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to add tabIndexing to a dynamically-created form, with a SEND button on the end that is constructed from a custom button class that extends Sprite.
For some reason, the tabIndex gets stuck on this button no matter what I do. If I disable it -- and enable it only for the TextFields -- it works fine, cycling through all of the TextFields endlessly. But as soon as I give this custom button Sprite a tabIndex value, it will highlight that button just fine in the order I tell it, but I can no longer tab or shift-tab to get off of the button again; it remains stuck there unless I use the mouse to click somewhere else and start over.
In an attempt to eliminate any variables, I threw this code together -- essentially the same thing I'm trying to do -- and it gets stuck with this code as well[code]....
iam giving tabindex order. some swf file loading runtime than can i change tabIndex order
View 1 RepliesI have a contact form on my site for which the text inputs are created via AS2. This works fine but I cannot get the tabbing to work (or even have any effect) no matter what I do. I have a menu that sometimes displays at the top, sometimes on the left and sometimes at the bottom. If it's at the top or bottom then the form tabbing works fine, however if it's down the side then when i tab from contact_namefield it goes to the 8th menu option, then the 9th menu option, then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield.Similarly if i tab from the top of the menu it's goes down sequentially to menu option 7, then to contact_namefield, then menu option 8, then menu option 9 then contact_emailfield then contact_messagefield.
I cannot for the life of me work out how to change this, I would rather avoid setting tabenabled=false for every other element on the page (as i'd still like these to be tabbed), but either way I don't think this will fix it as the tabindexes i've specified seem to be having no affect at all, no matter what values i put in (even if i reverse them) the tab order is always exactly the same. I am using the following code and would be so grateful if anyone could point out what i'm doing wrong as I can't for the life of me figure it out!
var currfont=_root.textfont;
var inputcol = "0x" + _root.textcolour;var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.bold = false;my_fmt.font = "Arial";my_fmt.color = inputcol;

I feel like I'm missing something really simple here. I'm loading a AS3 swf containing a form (created by one of our designers) into a flex app. The swf's tabIndex properties work fine when the swf is viewed by itself, however, once it's loaded into the flex app:
<mx:SWFLoader source="form.swf" top="20" horizontalCenter="0" id="formSwf" complete="swfCompleteHandler(event)"/>
the form fields stop receiving focus on tab. I've been looking at the FocusManager in flex, for some sort of solution, but I can't seem to find any examples, and I'm not entirely sure I'm looking in the right place. Am I stuck redoing this form in flex?
I have some numericstepper in my movie, I given the tabindex for all numstepper, Its working fine with pressing TAB key, but I need this event also work even if I press "SPACE" key.
View 2 RepliesI have set up a Qwerty keyboard within a swf using duplicateMovieClip() - all works fine. If I have no tabbing whatsoever then I can use the tab key to randomly jump all over the keyboard.
But I would like it to tab in an order. Other buttons at the _root level are tabbing fine but these dynamically created ones are not doing a thing.
The keyboard buttons are created within a movieclip called mcContent which is sat at the _root level, anything within this mc is usually referenced by mcContent. or _level0.mcContent. (if it is being really fussy).
I have an instructions button - if this is NOT included in the tabIndex then the tabbing will work on the keyboard, erratically, but it at least goes there. As soon as I set _root.mcInstructionsBtn.tabIndex = 1; then nothing but the _root level buttons work
I have tried to add the tabIndex when creating the movieclips but this has not worked either. I have tried to set the tabIndex in a copy version where the keyboard buttons are created at the _root level and it functions exactly the same.
I have a challenge in a flash movie with TabIndex that involves some pretty comprehensive keyboard functionality and have solved the problem but the client is not madly happy with the solution. Problem is I don't know whether there is another way of solving it.
I've built a app the allows the user to upload a picture and manipulate it using marker placement. You can either drag the markers with the mouse or using tabIndex can tab through them then, once highlighted, you can move each marker up, down, left and right using the WASD keys.
I thought this was a nice solution since gamers are familiar with WASD to move directionally, however the client wants to use the arrow keys for this function. The problem resides in the fact that within the tabindex the arrow keys act in the same way as the tab, in that they tab forward or back through the index.
Client suggest tabbing to marker, clicking ENTER to disable tabbing, using the arrows to move the marker, then clicking ENTER again to re-enable the tabbing, move to the next marker, click ENTER to disable... etc etc.
I'm having an issue where the browser will not tab to a dynamic text region. If I change the region to input, the tab works fine, but I don't want users to change the text in the region. It is just meant to be read aloud by screen readers.

Test.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

When I start the application and press Tab to cycle through controls, the focus jumps to the first text box, then to the first radio button of the first TestComponent, and then directly to the last textbox missing the second and the third TestComponents.

View 1 Replieshow to enable the ENTER key in Flash (using AS2 still). In my SWF file it works fine, but once I publish it and open the HTML file, my ENTER key does not work.
How it works is: At the start you have to press enter to continue. Then you have to enter your menu choice in a input txt field with instance "databox_txt". If you type in "about" and hit ENTER it takes you to frame 30 and stops.
I've read that browsers does not support the ENTER key in Flash. Is there Perhaps a workaround? Via PHP perhaps?
