I created a contact form for this Flash site using Actionscipt 2.0 The problem I'm having is that when I try to enter the @ sign (shift+') I get quotation marks and vice versa as if I were using a Mac instead of a PC. This only happens in the contact form and works fine when entered anywhere else such as the address bar or a search engine.

I've been trying to add quotation marks to a variable for the past hour or so, but I haven't been having much luck. Basically, here is what I am hoping to create:
Code:
blarg = W71;
temp = magic code that I can't figure out
trace(temp); // displays "W71"
I stumbled on a previous case of this [URL], but that method didn't work for variables when I tried it. Adding a + symbol before and after blarg gave me an error.simple way to incorporate quotation marks around my variable?

Code:

my only problem is that that the minus sign isn't working in can type everything from 0 to 9 (0-9) and dots (.) but no minus sign (-)...
I would like the client to be able and type only numbers, and the minus (-) sign into an input textfield. The reason I need them able to type a minus (-) sign is in the case they need the number to be negative. However,

How do you add a % sign to the end of the text in the Action-script 3 preloader tutorial?
View 1 RepliesThis seems to happen now and again, and I'm not sure why. Does anyone else find that sometimes their quote and email @ keys swap around, on a PC anyway? My client has just had this happen to him, so I realise that it's not a Flash authoring environment problem, but maybe a compilation or Flash Player issue.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash movie that loads variables from a text file. I need it to be able to display plus signs. Right now they are omitted from display.
For example, if the text file reads variable1=1 + 1; Flash displays "1 1".
Is there a special way to store plus signs in the text file so they are displayed properly?
why a minus sign breaks my dynamic text field?For example, if I have a plus sign like this it works fine:mytext.text = "+1000";But if I have a minus sign, it only shows the minus and nothing after it:

View 3 RepliesI have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

View 2 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 {
