View 3 Repliesthe 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 {

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a character jump on to a platform this is my code. The block1, block2 etc are the blocks that I want my character to jump on
PHP Code:
var onBlock:Boolean;

blockHolder.push(block2)
blockHolder.push(block3)
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkBlock)

The onBlock boolean is used later but my problem is that the code doesn't work.

i'm looking for a way to capture key press based on the character pressed. using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN has some problems: i can use String.fromCharCode works for letters only (and have to do capitalization manually using shiftKey boolean) but it doesn't work for other characters. the keycode for - (hyphen) is the same as for _ (underscore), for example, and fromCharCode returns the 1/2 (half) symbol.

View 4 RepliesI would like to replace the ":" for text_field_1 Instead, @ should show up when somebody hits :
Any ideas how to do that in as2?
Maybe something like: if text_field_1 is focused && somebody hits : add an @*to the existing text in field 1.
Or make a loop looks for : in text_field_1 and when it finds one it replaces it with @
But i have no idea how to do that in as2
I want my input text box to break to the next line automatically when it reaches the max width of the box. How do I do this?
View 1 RepliesUser would type in the input 1000 or 5000000 and the immediately have commas added resulting in 1,000 and 5,000,000
I would think it would also need to ignore / remove any commas the user has put in to prevent any errors. The final number is being processed as part of a calculator.
I'm working on a delivery costing system for my company using postcode input from users
For you non Brits out there UK postcodes work on two blocks of 2-4 characters each.
L2 2HH - Liverpool central
M24 2TN - suburb of Manchester
IV56 7NQ - outter Inverness
You get the idea. So the first part of a UK postcode, wether it be 2 characters or 4 characters MUST have atleast one numeric and one non-numeric character in it. How do I detect this?
At the moment I've just got my CHECK POSTCODE button to run a few functions only if my POSTCODE (input text) field length it greater or equal to 2 characters. So how do I easily detect an input of numeric and non-numerical characters without having to resort to indexOf ...a...b...c...1...2...3...?
I'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] .....
Say you have a form setup with one input text field and one submit button. Is there a way to have the cursor automatically be present in the input field when MC is loaded so that the user doesnt have to click in input field to begin typing.

View 3 RepliesWhen I Selection.setFocus(someTextField); the cursor doesn't start blinking in the text field. I've tried it in the flash IDE as well as in a HTML page, I can't seem to get the cursor to start blinking automatically in an input TextField.
I even did an onEnterFrame script to make sure the TextField was loaded and ready before I did the selection. I've also used Selection.setSelection(0,0) , etc. It just never shows up.
If I click the input TextField the cursor shows up as normal though. I just want it to automatically appear as this is a form and I want it to be clear to the user which textfield is currently selected when I change focus.
This is for a touchscreen project with an on-screen keyboard so the user has no mouse.
Even if the user types some letters and sees them appear in the input box properly the cursor STILL doesn't appear. Only when I click the input does the cursor appear.
