ActionScript 2.0 :: Forcing Input Txt To UPPERCASE
Nov 23, 2004
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.

I know how to catch usual lowercase letters. I'm using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and compare the code to the ASCII table to find out which key was pressed. Now, I also want to be able to find out if there is, for example SHIFT+A pressed, and I have no idea how to implement this. I mean, in my program SHIFT and A are absolutely different keys which have nothing to do with each other, and they both will call KeyboardEvents when pressed. In Georgian alphabet some letters are typed by combination of SHIFT and English letters, for example W on Georgian keyboard means წ, when SIFT+W means áƒ. Absolutely different letters, as you can see. And I want to be able to catch both, coz I'm currently developing Georgian-language game.
i have to create something that loads text dynamically and then you can input words and it determines if that word is in that dynamically loaded text. I have to output a statement for three different reasons.
1. If the word is not found 2. If the word is found 3. If the word is found, but it's not the same (Ex. You enter hello but the word in the text is Hello)
I have it all working for the moment using functions etc....but the one thing I am unsure about is how to determine whether the character is uppercase or lowercase or maybe there is another possible way so that I can print out the 3rd reason from about.(telling the difference from hello and Hello.)
The whole thing is based off a tutorial I found here: [URL]
just got rid of the find next button and added an output msg box.
I would like to check if there is a way to configure Flash Media Server(FMS4) to support media content suffixes used to stream MP3 content, e.g MP3 suffix in uppercase and not just the defualt mp3(lowercase).
user will give answer in input text field, so i wrote like this,
[Code]...
but problem is if user type Gyan or GYAN, it will say wrong so how can i fix this problem, can we write in UPPERCASE while caps Lock is off, or can we restrict UPPERCASE in input text Field?
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;
What would be the best way to simply take a string like
var myString:String = "Thi$ i$ a T#%%Ible Exam73@"; and make myString = "thiiatibleeam"; or another example var myString:String = "Totally Awesome String"; and make myString = "totallyawesomestring";
Simulating Validators, how do I programmatically invalidate a TextInput because it doesn't match some external criteria? (even though it passes regexp/other internal validator tests).e.g. on lost focus, point out to the user that "confirm email" doesn't match "email" (even though both are valid email addresses). I've got a regex validator on a cell phone TextInput field that ensures the user enters with the international prefix e.g. 0044 for the UK Then I have a confirm_mobile field but I want to check the mobile TextInput against confirm_mobile TextInput.
The input on confirm_mobile could always be a valid phone number and pass the regexp test but I need to ensure field 2 == field 1 and if not then invalidate field 2 (or at least simulate the Validator behavior) to tell the user the fields don't match. I can catch this at the end via a trigger on the form submit button but still need to know how to throw a red box round "confirm_mobile" using a validator.
Code: Select allprivate function check_mobile2(evt :FocusEvent) { if (strings_match(confirm_mobile.text , mobile.text)) {
I just finished a website that requires Flash player 10, and I published in for Flash player 10, but earlier flash players still try to run it.Does anyone know where I can find a script that hides my flash movie and asks the user to upgrade, along with a link to upgrade? the link would start the upgrade installation right there so that users dont have to worry about navigating adobe's website.
I am having the (apparently common) problem, where my flash file won't update its XML source when I make changes. I've research this, and learned that I need to add a unique reference to the loader, to "fool" the browser into reloading the XML each time.
However, I'm not sure exactly where to put the unique variable. Here's my XML loading code.
Currently I have a for loop which goes through and draws a really long list of objects. Each object is contained in its own sprite and as it draws them I wanted to have a text box saying "Ojects" + nObjectsTotalLoaded + " of " + nObjectsTotal + " have been Loaded." Right now I am timing out because my loops takes so long, but i figured that if I have a textbox updating as it creates each object that it will also fix my problem with timeout.
In flex when I allow user to download a file using :
dwFile = new FileReference(); dwFile.download(downloadURL, dwFileName);
Is there a way to ensure that the downloaded file always ends up with the extension .tar or any other extension for that matter? By default I give it a name like xyz.tar, but as of now the user can tamper with filename, including its extension. Can I prevent him from doing so?
I'm writing some actionscript to provide a flash frontend to an MS Excel spreadsheet. The idea is that the user will be able to press buttons in a flash application, and that will enter data into the spreadsheet (which will be read and written as XML).
Through researching, i've discovered that the problem with using getDefinitionByName is that the compiler believes that my classes aren't being used, unless they're explicitly referenced in the code, and thus isn't compiling them into the swf.I'm having no luck finding an amicable solution to this problem though. So far the only thing that i've found which works, is explicitly mentioning the name of the class, somewhere in my code. This creates huge problems as it forces me to manually edit an additional part of the code. And really, harcoding anything is horribly sloppy.this isn't an acceptable solution as i'm designing a game with potentially hundreds of weapons, and two classes for each one. I need some way to automate this, and force them to compile.
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 trying to create a class that contains an array. However i want to require that the items in the array are themselves of a specific class. Im told there is some sort of tag you can add to do this, but for the life of me i cannot find what it is.What i hope for is something like:
public class myClass{ public var foo:String; [ArrayType(class="BarClass")]
I have an .swf navigation carousel that is 650 pixels high, the bottom 200 pixels being reserved for the reflection of the carousel. The reflection is very subtle and is not considered important information, so we would like to remove vertical scrollbars when the window is high enough to fit the topmost 450 pixels, but not the reflection.
I tried to accomplish this by setting a margin-bottom: -200px to the flash <object> but this only made the container's height shrink 200 pixels, causing the background pattern to cut before the bottom of the page.the Flash itself is still taking up 650 pixels.
Is there some "proper" fix to this, other than hiding/showing the scrollbars actively using javascript?
I need to be able to start/stop or reload this swf with purely javascript as I don't have access to the source swf file to add any actionscript.I figured the easiest way to pull this off is by removing the element and replacing it forcing a redraw with would hince reload the swf movie. Though ie seams to cache the flash element and pretty much look over any updates I make to the embed/object tags and keeps right on going.So how do I force IE to redraw/update a flash element on a page?
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?
