I have a dynamic textfield which receive the text the user input. And I want to make it like no matter how many words the user type, it always have the same area of the box[code]...
I'm building a small Flash app in which users will enter a promotion code and will submit that to a server... well... there's more to it than that... but that's what I am here about...Anyways, I wanted to activate a button when a user has typed in the full 10 digit promo code... that is, after 10 characters are entered into my input box, the submit button becomes visible..
I have some text that says go to page with a input textfield box and a go button. This is a flash cs4 file.I want to have the user input the page number and have it go to that frame.I am using actionscript 3.0 and have bought 4 books and researched online and still can't find what I am looking for.I can make the go button go to whatever page I want I just don't know how to get the information the user put in the box.
I am loading some XML into a dynamic text field Actionscript Code: texts_mc.desc_txt.text = xmlList[0].desc; I need to limit its length to 75 characters which is about half the length of the last line of text. Is there a way to do that? I have been looking in the docs and tried stuff with String.substr but I could not get it to work at all.
I'm trying to achieve something that I'm sure it's not that complicated, but unfortunately I have not clue how to do it.I have created some text fields. And what I want to do, it's that when the user clicks onthem, in order to start writing, I want a specific movieclip to dissapear.This could be achievable if I knew how to make the textfield behave like a button; but I don't know what code I need for this, as onPress it's not working at all.
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] .....
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.
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'm trying to get a Flash form to test certain conditions, one of which is the full date (ie 2006 as opposed to 06), but the AS below (in bold) isn't working... does anybody know the right script?
on (release) { if (!name.length) { text.emailstatus = "please enter your name";
On my project, I have a dynamic textfield inside a movieclip. The textfield loads XML text. How can I set the dynamic textfield length(width) based on how much text is typed on the xml file?
I've created a form-like input to receive user input in the form of text in a frame. Now, I would like to pass that input into an external text file. I hope to get help to implement this. Let's assume that this app will be only used locally and not over the web.
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..
how to tell the cursor(vertical text flasher) to jump to the end of the text in a input textfield - so that you can continue typing from the end of existing text?
I was wondering if anyone could please send me info user input text fields. I was wanting to set up a section in my flash site where the user
a) types in their name in first field b) second field they type in their email address c) third field they type in their email message and then hit a submitt button to make their message reach me!
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?
What I'm trying to do is pretty simple, I'm just getting lost in the syntax of it..I have a piece of code that loads a textfield to the stage and sets it to "Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically"on the stage I have a text input box named t1input And a button next_btn
What I am wanting to happen is to have the text automatically load into the text field that is set in the code ("Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically") And then have it where the user can type into the text box, press the "next" button and then the text in the text field is changed to be whatever the user has typed in the text box.[code]...
I'm trying to refer to the text in an input text field. The name of the fields are attr1, attr2, attr3...... This works fine when I type; my_mc.var1.text, my_mc.var2.text......
In order not to type the name of all the fields, I want to do it in a loop, and put the results into an array; [AS] for(i; i<(number_of_attr+1); i++) { var nr = new LoadVars(); var attr_nr = new LoadVars(); var suggestion = new LoadVars(); attr_nr = i.toString(); [Code] ..... It only works when I type attr1, attr2 .....
I'm wondering if there is a way I can see if a user is typing into a input field.Like if they are typing into the field a variable = 1 And if they are not or the field is empty it is = 0
