View 6 RepliesI have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
flash actionscript i ve created 9 dynamic text fields in one row & this is named as fname0,fname1 .... fname8 & another 9 dynamic text fields in another row & this is named as chipsname0,chipsname1....chipsname8 ,I created these fields in an array. Based on the user entry in one of the text field i should calculate & display it in the corresponding text field in the other row, this should be done when the user types a number & when that text field looses its focus.

I have a Flash file with an FLVPlayback component that loads a video. I have an actions frame that sets listeners and then sends the current running time of the FLV video to dynamic text boxes in my "timecode" movie clip. That all works fine as long as I have the "timecode" mc and the actions in the same timeline.
BUT, I'm trying to put the "timecode" mc in the FLV player skin swf so that I can use the auto hide feature for the skin etc.
I think my pathing etc is all screwed up because I can't get this to work. My skin swf is called "Annual_Report_2009_skin.swf"[code]...

View 0 RepliesWhat happens in my flash file is I click on a colour swatch and that colour is then stored until I click on the part of the shirt I want to change colour. Once that part of the jersey has changed colour I want to be able to send the colour from just that section to a dynamic text field (to be emailed later as a reference). As an example, I click on "btn_orange" and then click on the Movie Clip "block1". "block1" changes to orange. As it changes I want to send "block1"'s colour to a text box called "hexcode1". If "block1" colour changes, then so will the text box "hexcode1". "block2" will be linked to "hexcode2" etc.

View 2 RepliesI had a question regarding the 'passing' of focus. I have a class (more like a component) which contains a TextField.If I give 'focus' to the class, how can I send the focus to the TextField (which is private to the class containing it, like a component).To elaborate, I'm not sure focus occurs on 'just the endpoint' or 'to a branch'.If focus is just given to the endpoint, how does my component disregard having focus and gives the focus to the endpoint?If focus is a given to a branch, what if focus is given (via mouse click) to the text field? I would have an event listener catch the focus event which shares the focus with the parent, but the problem there is once the parent has focus it shares the focus with the child which creates a loop.

View 1 RepliesI'm pretty inexperienced with actionscript, and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to load variables from a file and send it to a dynamic text box. The content of an external file, "varload.txt", is "name1=John". Here is actionscript of my flash file:

I have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?

I'm trying to give focus to a text input with instance name "input" so that when I run the movie, there is a blinking cursor where the input is so that the user has some visual cues. I also changed the background and made it only accept numbers. This code is in an init() method, which is run from the constructor
input.backgroundColor = 0xFFCCCCCC;
input.restrict = "0-9";
stage.focus = input;
The first two lines of this work fine, the background is grey and it only accepts numbers as expected, however the third line doesn't work. The input text is not given the focus. Once I click on the input text then I can see the blinking cursor. I also tried this.stage.focus=input;, but that didn't work either.
how to set focus to a text field when the MC is pulled up?
Basically, I have a button that loads an MC onto the stage (so within an MC in the base MC). When the new MC loads it contains a text field. I want the user to be able to start typing without having to click in the text field first.
I need to select an input text box on keypress, as the mouse will be busy. Ive had a look and found setfocus, but everything i try tells me There is no method with the name 'setfocus'. So somethin along the lines of
on (keyPress "<Left>"){
myinputbox.setFocus();
}

I have a swf that is having problems only when I load a movie.[code]I noticed that the movie does not run right only when the cursor is still bliking in the input text field. I will input text in the input field but the cursor continues to remain in the field even after clicking the "someButton".[code]but is still has a problem. The problem being that when I click another button in the program, sometimes it will not work and othertimes it will.When I remove the input field and hard code the import the loadmovie it works fine.

The problem that I am having, is that when I click on the text field, it is also clicking on the stage for some reason, so now I can't gain focus to the text field when it is clicked.
