ActionScript 2.0 :: Forcing Input Text To UPPERCASE
Nov 23, 2004
I've got an input field and I want the entries to be UPPERCASE, how can I set this up in flash so that these characters appear capitalized even if the user doesn't have CAPSLOCK on?I've tried myTextField.toUpperCase(); but this doesn't work.
say I've got an input field and I want the entries to be UPPERCASE, how can I set this up in flash so that these characters appear capitalized even if the user doesn't have CAPSLOCK on? I've tried myTextField.toUpperCase(); but this doesn't work.
On the button class below the text is set to toUpperCase();. When the XML is fed into the text fields of my buttons it is making every character uppercase. Does anyone know how can I get mixed casing where only the first letter of each word is capitalized?
I got this text that I want to convert to uppercase...the problem is that my server is linux, and files are case sensitive..So I need to convert the text to UpperCase, except what's inside the html tags.This prototype removes the HTML tags... convert this to, instead removing the HTML, ingore the text to become upperCase?
Code: String.prototype.removeHTML = function(){ var temp, i; var xStr = this; var total = xStr.length;
I'm dealing with an inline hyperlink in a textarea filled with htmlText. I'm getting incredibly vexxed by this problem with having to click the link twice.I have learned here that this is because the first time a link is clicked, the text area receives focus. Then links become activated. The workaround for this, according to the article, is:
solve this by setting mouseOver = textFieldID.setFocus();
I really wish he'd set this in context, because no variant I've tried works.
Code: mouseOver=showText.setFocus(); and
Code: showSlice.mouseOver=showText.setFocus();
cause the link not to work at all. showSlice is the movie clip containing the textfield, which is called showText.This isn't as bad, but you still have to click the link twice (because I don't think this is doing anything at all):
I'm making a preloader right now and i want to list kb load, kb total, percent complete and all that jazz in 1 multiline text box like this: Total KB: 100KB Loaded: 56Percent Complete:56when write all this data into the var for the text box how to I force it to go to the next line?
I'm pulling in an xml/rss feed into a Flash ad. I wont post all the code. I'll just post an example bit where the problem is. What I was hoping to do is once I have my feed pulled in from the source I need to force the text I'm pulling in to be in all caps. So if I wasn't importing the xml from a feed I would use something like this I think:ActionScript Code:<span typographicCase='uppercase'>the</span>Can someone show me how I can do this with my feed? Which would be to force capitalization on any text being pulled into my text field.ActionScript Code:textBox1_txt.text = rover_feature.items.item.title[0];
I have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

I'm trying to extend the text input that comes in flex to support an icon, just like mac os x search text input has a grey circle aligned to the right, the text input has a addChild method, but it didn't work for me.
the last of many problems, is that at the very end of the test, you're shown your score, and you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever. The problem is, the input text box will not let you type in it. If you mouse over it, the mouse stays a pointer, you don't get the text tool. If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:
Code: // function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {
I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
i created an input text box that puts the users input into a global variable, but when i test it it gives me not only what i have typed in but all the html formatting for the font that my input text box has on it.I only want the text that i have typed in to go into the variable but the wackload of html is going in there too. ive tried a few different things, rewriting my code, recreating the text box, changing settings, dont know what im missing.
I'm trying to build a fahrenheit to celsius convertor in AS3. How can I test to see whether what is input into a text input box (flash component) is not a number? This isn't correct but you can get an idea of what i'm trying to do:
if (celsius_txt.text == NaN || fahrenheit_txt.text == NaN) { //do something; }
i have an one input text box, first i type text into it and press space bar at this it will become empty and ready to accept next input from starting position, i make the text box empty by
textbox.text = "";
but the cursor not set to initial position in text box it consider "" as "space" and cursor will display after one space only, i need that cursor again move to starting position..
Using AS3 to create a basic number guessing game but for some reason the input text field won't accept text input. I can't figure out which piece of code is causing the problem and it's driving me nuts considering it's from a tutorial.
This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?
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.
Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code: function selectText() { startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
I have 4 dynamic text boxes which duplicates the text from a main input text box. How do I write a code to make visible only the dynamic text box I want when clicked it's check box.What is the CODE to make each "DYNAMIC TEXTBOX" visible when clicked on it's checkbox?
