ActionScript 2.0 :: Reposition The Blinker In A Text Box?
Apr 20, 2006
Is it possible to reposition the blinker in a text box?
I have a text box and the user can press a key to add a specific string and I've already done that. The problem is the blinker ends up between whatever the user typed and the new string, so they have to move the blinker to the end before resuming typing which is, needless to say, very annoying.
I was wondering if there was any sort of actionscript that can check and/or modify the position of the blinker.
Something like:
Code:
on (keyPress "*") {
//Move blinker to the end of the textbox here
}

i have made a site in flash cs3, with various things repositioning on screen resize, and everything works wonderfully, until i have checked it on a mac, on which everything's offsetted to the left. i thought that flash acted the same way on any platform (on all browsers in windows it does look great), but.just for some reference, this is the resize function (sorry for the length, i dont have a clue what's valuable and what aint):
Code:
function resizeHandler(Event):void {
if (stage.stageHeight>=400) {

I'm trying to resize and reposition 'geschenke' which is a movie clip ... when you rollover the buttons a number will come out but since I resized the mc the positioning is off. How can I rewrite/use this code no matter what size the mc ends up being the positioning will scale with the stage.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("numbers", getNextHighestDepth());
for (i in geschenke){
zahl = Number(substring(geschenke[i]._name, 7, 8));
nummer = numbers.attachMovie("numbering", "numbering" + zahl, zahl);
nummer.stop();

I have a game: The object circled is the amount of shots you have left. But it removes the last object in the array, so the last bullet, its hard to explain, I have 20 bullets, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. The array is removing the 1 first. Well what I am saying is number 1 is actually number 20, so the array is doing nothing wrong, I did. But I am not sure how to reverse the order.
So [ its removing this one-> o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o]
But [ --------------------------------- o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o <- I want it to remove this one]
The reason being is because the user cannot see how many they have left, so think angry birds, the amount of birds is displayed according to the amount there allowed, its to the left of the slingshot, like mine, every time the bird is shot, the rest of the birds shimmey towards the slingshot untill there is none left --- This is what I want, but have managed to confuse myself aswell as you most likely.
Here is my code, to generate and take awau my bullets/birds
public function createShotIcons() {
shotIcons = new Array();
for(var i:uint=0;i<20;i++) {
var newShot:ShotIcon = new ShotIcon();
newShot.x = 200-i*15;
newShot.y = 300;
addChild(newShot);
shotIcons.push(newShot);
}} public function removeShotIcon() {
removeChild(shotIcons.pop());
}

This is hard to explain, so bear with me... I'm creating "pages" of draggable buttons so that I can reorder them according to their revised positions. Everything works great but I'm stumped as to how to drag the buttons forward or backward a page based on the current active page. If you look at the file you'll see exactly what I mean. I have a portion of the code commented out because that's the area I'm stuck on.
All the MC's are created on the initial load, with each additional page appearing "off the screen" by an adding 1000 pixels per page (in the X direction). Then I just reposition all the MC's as the pages are scrolled through.
What I really want to do is drag a button to the edge of the screen and have all the MC's move that represent the appropriate page. I think I need some sort of timer there or it just flies to the last page.
FYI, if you change the variable "TotalVBs" it will modify the number of displayed buttons. If you change the variable "myButtonScale" it will modify the scale of the buttons. Increasing either or both of these will add more pages to the program. [code]...

I'm currently building an application that allows users to "import" uploaded images into the FUI and move them around to place them where they want. I have three seperate sections where they can do this and each section has a different maxWidth and maxHeight... What I'm trying to accomplich is to be able dynamically bring the image in resize it so that it fits within the _root.maxWidth and _root.maxHeight, while constraining the proportions, THEN I need it to be be placed (if needed) within the boundry of the section they are importing the image to...

I am using CS4. I have my Flash all setup and running perfect now w/ motion tweens etc.But I am trying to reposition some of my symbols on the stage (to get them into better alignment with other symbols), and every time I do this the move is recorded, and when I play back it shows the motion of my position change on my tween.Is there a way to simply move my symbols w/out losing their current tween, but not creating a new motion effect?

using the following code i am trying to get a movieclip to reposition itself prior to loading an image. Then once the new image is loaded - the other movieclip will reposition itself. Currently, the functions are cancelling each other out - b/c the one function is within an onEnterFrame - take a look:
Code:
holderHitMC.onRelease = function() {
holderMask.newY = -854;
if (holderMask._y == -854) {
[Code]...
As you can see - i have a button with an onRelease command telling the movieclip to reposition - then onEnterFrame once the file is fully loaded the movieclip should return. The problem with this is that it does not allow the movieclip to move for the onRelease b/c the onEnterFrame is saying to go to the other position. If i add the delete this.onEnterFrame the movieclip - on future loads will reposition for the onRelease fuction but will not return.

There seems to be just one problem I cant get around. Its a full screen flash site so when the browser gets resized, it looks all weird until you refresh the browser. I think it would be too hard to make a function to reposition all of my movieclips when the onResize event gets triggered so I figured it may just be easier to restart the flash movie from the start when it gets triggered, how could I refresh the movie, or possibly even refresh the browser? here is the site so you can see what I am talkin about [URL]

I'm working on a video player with full screen capabilities. I have the control bar set to tween in and out of the video screen with a mouse event. I'm also trying to position the control bar at the bottom of the screen when it's in full screen mode. My problem is that the control bar doesn't reposition when in full screen because of the tween functions. I'm thinking that whatever solution comes up that I might go in the if statement of the full screen code.

I have an ActionScript 2.0 project with a very simple timeline Alpha Tween ("Classic tween" in CS4) of a movie clip. I need to reposition the movie clip dynamically when the movie is launched, before the Tween is executed (as in "x_mc._x = 100;").
I found out that after changing the clip position the Alpha Tween as well as the Alpha final value are totally ingored. The clip is shown in the updated position but remains throughout in the Alpha setting of the first keyframe (even when it reaches the last keyframe which has a different Alpha setting). I verified that the Tween itself is executed by placing Trace statements at both keyframes. If I remove the repositioning statement, the Alpha Tween works fine (but of course in the original position which is wrong)

I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.

I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.

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?

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;
