View 8 RepliesI am working on an application in which i have put one Multi line input text box. I want to allow user to enter data only up to 8 Lines. User can not enter more than 8 lines. So is there any solutions..??? I dont want to use MaxChars as it can restrict user to not enter more than predefined number of characters. I want to restrict user from entering more than predefined number of lines.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to limit the number of lines people can enter in an input textfield. I tried stuff with maxScroll, but that doesn't check if people press enter, so i end up with too many lines of text. I then looked at maxChars, but it's no use either, because users can still enter as many lines as they want.Is there no way you can combine maxChars and maxScroll? there also is "textfield.onScroller" which checks if the textfield is being scrolled. Can't i use an eventhandler based on onScroller? Like:[code]this results in people not being able to edit messages anymore after they reach the end of the textfield.I have no idea how to limit the number of lines in an input textfield. Anyone?
View 7 RepliesI need to place a limit on my user input field. In this case I want one of the user input field to have a range of 0-10 and the other one to have a range of 0-59. So far all I have been able to do is this:
mins_input.restrict = "0-9";
mins_input.maxChars=2;
The result is my user can only input numbers but the numbers have a range up till 99! How do I put the results of my input field into my actionscript? I'm making a timer with an input interface.
What easiest way to place cursor (focus?) into an textfield input box for receiving user input after an event?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a user input textfield which automatically applies the defined format on it. The only problem is: actionscript 3 seems to ignore the format and stubbornly applies the default text format. How can I apply the desired format on user typed text? Here's my code so far. As you can see, for experimental reasons I tried to apply the size "60" on the text, but if you execute the script, the size of the text remains unchanged:
PHP Code:
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.TextField;
var theTextField:TextField = new TextField();
var txtFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code] .....
I have the following function
ActionScript Code:
IncludeInfoItems = function (bool) {
if (!bool) {
proof_txt._visible = true;
} else {
proof_txt._visible = false;
}};
This dynamically on/off the description. I have one text field where user enter the values, If this value is =>1501 then i want to display it true. I am trying like this and getting error.
ActionScript Code:
IncludeInfoItems = function (bool) {
if (!bool) {
if (check_amount_mc.text ==> 501) {
proof_txt._visible = true;
}} else {
proof_txt._visible = false;
}};
is it possible to trap when a user clicks in an input textfield in flash i want to put up a message before the user starts to type had a good look, but can't find anything that allows me to run a function when the user clicks in a textfield.

View 5 RepliesI have a textfield that is filled by a querystring.
example: http://www.domainname.com?dName=Michael+&+Mary+Heatherbaum
myTextfield.text=myQueryStrings.dName.toUpperCase();
If the persons name is only 3 letters I want the font size to be 120 but based on the amount of characters, I would like to shrink the font size in order to fit the whole name inside the text field. I was playing with autosize, but couldn't get it to work.
making a textfield font size auto adjust accordingly?
I have a function ( basically its the click on a reset buttons ) that sets back quite a loooooot of variables and text boxes. But after ( I think 200 lines ) , actionscript simply stops with that particular function and doesnt even give me an error.So it looks like there is a lines per function limit or something like that.I also tried it with an external .as but its the same.Creating functions for all these commands didnt work either.The only thing I can do is move a few lines up so that they get processed earlier.... ( but the last few still don't work )I even tried to make a function with 300 lines of myTextField.text = "hello"and a line: myTextField.text = "how are you" at the endDidnt work... it stayed at hello.

There is an attribute .restrict but as the defined it only prevents other characters from entering the textfield, restricting the textfield to the given characters. I want to prevent characters 1-10 from entering the textfield. The code below does not work the right way.

View 2 RepliesSpecific yet simple problem: [URL] What I want to achieve:
1) after 1st entering, NONE of present input fields[TF] is selected.
2) when i press TAB key[1st time], first TF is selected and cursor inside it is blinking.
3) pressing TAB key repeatedly, i can cycle through all TFs [one by one]. The RIGHT order of CYCLING through TFs is displayed inside TFs.
What i have so far:
1) TAB key press works ONLY AFTER i first click on any TF, TFs are cycled in BAD order. Cursor is blinking correctly.
2) implemented Key.DOWN listener. Works without need to first click on any TF, but cursor inside selected TF is missing which makes orientation difficult. TFs are cycled in the RIGHT order.

View 1 RepliesI just finished troubleshooting a bug and though I would share so no one else had to deal with it.There seems to be and undocumented limit to the width of a TextField. and that limit is right around 8000. After about that much the text gets shoved to the left of the textfield as opposed to into the text field.Not something that most people are going to come across I know. I ran across it because I was making an RSS ticker type application and the textfield was being autosized to the width of the string.So I put an if statement in there to limit the box to 8000, the only problem now is that some of the text is going to be cut off.
View 1 RepliesI am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.

View 1 RepliesI have a simple input text element that has to have pre populated content within it that the user cannot delete or modify. All they can do is add to the end of the existing content. I am wondering about the best way to code this so they cannot delete or modify the existing content of the text field and only add to it? I will be pulling in the prefilled text in via flash vars so the length etc will always be dynamic. However, it will always go at the the begninning of the string.
