Code:
function btna(){root.readMessages.aTextFild.text += "a";}
this is not efficient.

I have an application that is built in flash. I am using Flash CS3. The application was built using AS2, and it is being designed for touch screens so there will be no keyboard or mouse. Certain parts of the application have text fields, so to enter text there is an on screen keyboard that pops up. The keyboard works great, but it does not have a tab key. Here is the code for some of the other special keys:
spacekey.onRelease = spacekey.onRollOut = spacekey.onDragOut = function ()
{
keyStroke(" ");

I'm trying to make an onscreen keyboard for one of the programs I wrote. With this flash program you can type Persian in any program. It uses a special kind of font. So I first mapped all the characters like:
//space
case String.fromCharCode(0x0023):
return String.fromCharCode(0x0023);
break;
[Code] .....
Now this program works perfectly when somebody actually uses the keyboard. Now I added an on screen keyboard. (buttons for each alphabet) but I don't seem to be able to somehow tell flash to type alphabet "be" for example and keep the conditions too! The text field is called "textF".
I am creating an action script keyboard for a touch screen. I have buttons from A - Z. How do I get the value out of the mouse event?

Relative newbie with AS3 but I need to make an onscreen keyboard for a touchscreen. Through some searching and coding I have a keyboard object that can send events based on clicks but I'm not sure how to go that "last mile" to trigger an actual keyboard event so the selected TextField gets updated.

doing a Flash onscreen keyboard. but what if I have more than 1 inputbox field, what should I do?
I'm having troubles with textfields. I have numerous textfields on the stage but it's happening to all so I'll just describe one.Lets say I have an input textField named that I restrict to allow only numbers 0-9:inputText_txt.restrict="0-9";That all works fine.THE PROBLEM:When I select the field (which initial value is set to "0") and hit delete it clears the field and if I press ENTER it will accept that as a value.I've tried this code to say if it equals " " then to not save the file....
if(inputText_txt.text==" "){
trace("."+inputText+".");
}

View 2 RepliesCurrently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
View 2 RepliesI'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
View 5 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.
View 11 RepliesI've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field. But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
for (var i:uint = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++){ trace (this.getChildAt(i).name + ' type:' + typeof (this.getChildAt(i))+ ' ' + this.getChildAt(i));}
it returns:
instance370 type:object [object Shape]mediaImportName001 type:object [object TextField]mediaFiletype001 type:object [object TextField]
How do I get Flash to give me the text in mediaImportName001?
It's bizarre - this.getChildAt(i).name
from above gives me...
mediaImportName001 ,
yet
trace (["mediaImportName"+thisNum].name);
returns undefined (thisNum represents an increment I use to name multiple clips and text fields, and in this case trace(thisNum); returns 001)

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{
for (s=0; s

my designer made a fla file where he has animated layers loads of them. All the images inside those animations are loaded from outside the swf.
Now, the issue is at one point in time I want some of the objects to go under another object ( current their on top) . If I do this visually the images inside the swf(loaded) are lost.
I have a very complicated interface going on in my flash application, with tons of dependencies/variable checking/etc and it would make my life one heck of a lot easier if it was possible to simply "press" or activate an onscreen button via actionscript. I have never seen this referenced, and don't know if it's possible. Search didn't find me anything. Can you do this in some way? "Virtually" activate a button (and thereby all the button's scripting...)
View 7 RepliesI have what is undoubtedly a simple issue that I cannot seems to surpass. It may well simply be an order of operations type of problem, but as I'm not sure where the problem is, I don't know where to start! I'm essentially just having trouble getting anything to display on stage.verything is seemingly linked into the stage's display list correctly ~ The hierarchy goes as such:[MAIN object Sprite] loads and addChild's an object...-- [SECTION object Sprite] which loads/adds other child objects..---- [SCENE object Sprite] Which should loads/adds...------ [FX object Sprite] which holds actual visual data(shapes------ [FX object Sprite] which holds actual visual data (shapes)---- [FLOW object Sprite] Which holds no real visual datavia functions such as getSections, getScenes, getFX, etc, as are applicable. The issue is that although each object in the hierarchy is listed as a child of its appropriate parent, nothing displays.

Is it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?

I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.
View 2 RepliesI created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
