May 15, 2011I'm building part of an UI that suggests certain words based on to the user's input. (Quit like Google's suggestions) It works quite well but one detail bothers me: When I have a list of suggestions I highlight the list-items by listening to the arrow up and down keys. When the fist element is highlighted, and the user presses the up arrow, I want the cursor to be in the Text(Input)Field again, but at the last position.
(I removed the focus from the InputField not to move the cursor in my singel line field to the first position when the up-arrow is pressed)
I set the cursor to the last Position using setSelection() but as it is the field receives the key-press after my event callback is executed and the pressing of the up-arrow in a single line field does what it always does, it places the cursor at the first position.
I considered using the CHANGE event, but as the arrow key does not actually change the content of the TextField, that is not working. Still I think that the solution might be along that way, as the CHANGE event is/would be at the end of the event-chain, where I need to do the repositioning of the cursor.

IDE :: Cursor Position Not Mouse Position In Input Text Box
Nov 12, 2009I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type.

The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.
View 8 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Record The Current Position Of Any Of The Items Item In Order To Use That Data To Change The Position Of The Item After The User Clicks?
Jan 2, 2010If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?
This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Checking Current _x Position With A Loop?
Apr 3, 2009I have this tween function that moves an object 100 pixels as soon as it enters the frame.
if (currentValue % 15 == 1) {
var rab1:MovieClip = rabbit1._x;
var myHoriTween:Tween = new Tween (rabbit1,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,rab1,(rabbit1._x = rabbit1._x + 100),2,true);
myHoriTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
this.stop()
}
My idea is to set up a loop to watch the tween, once it advances its 100 pixels from where it started I want to do a few things before I go to the next frame. Right now I'm using a timer, but it limits my ability to control the playhead.
I've been trying to create a loop to check the current _x and trace it so I can see it advancing as its tweening but it's simply too advanced for me.
ActionScript 2.0 :: [mx] Storing The Current Position Of An Object
Sep 4, 2003I've always wondered if there was a way to retrieve and store the current position of an object. i am trying to develop a background slideshow using penners equations. but i get into trouble because you have to define the start position. so let's say you click button 1, and the object moves from x =0 to x = 200. Now when i press button 2, i want the object to move from x = 200 to x = 400. and if i then press button 4, i want it to move from x=200 to x=800 and so on. So i need to go from the current position to any of the new positions. i could do this simply using the normal inertia code.

ActionScript 3 :: Possible To Set Cursor X And Y Position?
Sep 2, 2011Is it possibile to set the position of the mouse cursor? This is what I would like to do: when the user presses the mouse button over a movieclip, the movieclip starts dragging and on enterframe the cursor is positioned in the middle of the movieclip (don't tell me about lockcenter because I can't use it this way since my movieclip registration point is set at its top left corner). Basically, I would like to be able to force the cursor to reach the center of the movieclip when the user clicks it. Is this possible?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Current Frame Based On Mouse X Position?
Mar 26, 2009I am attempting to create 360 degree spin-around product viewer. So far I have a movie clip with 24 frames, each one with a different 15 degree angle shot of the product. Upon playback of the movie, the product appears 3D, spinning 360 degrees.
That was the easy part. Now what I need is to be able to click and drag the product to change which view you are seeing (or which frame in the mc you are on) thus producing a spinning effect. How can you code, in AS3.0, that when the mouse is clicked and drug, go to a certain frame based on the current X position of the mouse?

Flex :: Set Combobox Cursor Position?
Mar 17, 2010I have a combobox implementation as follows - Based on user input (min 2 chars) in the editable combobox, the data provider is refreshed and drop-down opened, showing different data sets as user input varies.Problem is that after drop-down opens, the cursor moves back to the beginning. So for instance, the user types in "ab", and wants to type in "c" to form the search string "abc". Due to the cursor re-setting its position to 0, the search string instead ends up as "cab".Here's what I tried already (doesn't work) : textInput.mx_internal::getTextField().setSelection(index, index);
where index = length of user input. This selects text from index to index (which effectively un-selects text) and is supposed to place the cursor at the end.

But, I would also like to know where the character was typed: the (text)cursor position.I've read about that it's easy to do with a TextField, however, I want to use a TextArea for a few reasons:
I've read about it being possible with a TextField, but I'm not sure how I would make that into an input field.

Oct 22, 2009In my app, the user clicks on an object, which centers the object on the screen. The user's cursor stays where he/she clicked.
