i need to do a form composed by a text field and a button.on the press of the button i should output a string that is composed by a default part (ie: http:url...) and by the text inserted in the text form (ie: hello) in order to obtain a string like this one.
View 4 RepliesI have a loop which duplicates a MC ('news_list')on the stage and places it underneath the most recent clip...
code:
for( i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
var news= news_list.news_item.duplicateMovieClip("news_item" +i, i);[code].........
I have a text box inside the MC which autosizes depending on how much text is inserted from an xml file. This should then obviously increase the height of my 'news_list' movieclip.What I want is for the next instance of the 'news_list' MC to be placed directly underneath the current one,no matter the height of the clip.Currently,I can only get it to position a specified distance below the current instance.The code above is what I've currently got,but I can't quite grasp how to grab the height of the current instance, and then use that in the code to place the next instance below it...
I am attempting to insert text from a database into a custom TextArea component, using the following:
var front:CaptionTextArea = myFlashcardFrontsides[adjIndex] as CaptionTextArea;
var back:CaptionTextArea = myFlashcardBacksides[adjIndex] as CaptionTextArea;
var passage:CaptionTextInput = myVersePassages[adjIndex] as CaptionTextInput;
front.text = passage.text;
back.text = str;
This works 100% of the time for smaller strings. However, if I insert long strings of text, the application will hang consistently. The maxchars for the textarea is set to 1200, and the text that is inserted into the text area is always smaller than the character limit:
backside.maxChars = 1200;
I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
I am trying to obtain the variables/contents of a php or a text file from my server using loadVars(), and the problem is that flash can get data from almost every server but from mine. (some shared hosting service) I just tried the code provided in the help files:

my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {

I'm sure that I did no mistake in typing the URL, for it works fine in the browser (also no spaces, no freaky chars), and when i change the URL to another domain (and put the txt file on that server) everything works fine. I tried both possibilities "network access" and "local access" as well as running from an exe projector. But no chance.
Currently 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.
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 know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

View 2 RepliesThis is a question for using Flash MX. I'm supposed to design an order form for a website, but not sure how to do it. I'll describe what it needs to do. It's for a band's website where they are selling CDs directly from them. They are using PayPal for people with credit cards, but if someone wants to send check or money orders I need to create a form that calculates totals, tax, whatnot and makes a receipt to print out. They are to physically send the check to the band. If the customer is buying less than 5 CDs then the price is 14.00 ea. If it's 5 or more, then the price is 11.00 ea. And there is sales tax in CA. So, scripting to create this. I'm really a novice at scripting and have created music players and that's about it.

making the dynamic text boxes expand if the xml text is of a larger size & moving the static text boxes so they don't start getting over written.
The code Ive used to put the text into the dynamic boxes is very simple:

I am building an order form and here's the basic design:
Layout:
Item - Description - Price - Quantity - Total
Functions:
Print - Send by email
The user types the quantity of items desired and the total is calculated.
My challenge is to build it without dynamic functions.
What I'm missing is the code for typing the desired quantity of items, adding total, printing and emailing the completed form. (Not sure it can be done without php or cfm)

View 2 RepliesI just recently got Flash CS5 and am in process of customizing a templated flash website. I went in and as I was completing a mailto form I tested the movie and the text fields only accept the characters: 9, a, m, n, o, and u, and earlier when I was using it they began with one or two 9s already in each of the fields and would not let the user delete them without hitting the clear button. Also the delete button on the keyboard does not delete the text. You can see the current problem under www.bryantcoffey.com under the contacts page. I've also switched keyboards and that did not help (I am typing on the keyboard right now that isn't responding to the text fields.)

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a custom order form(for a printing company) where the user can select their product, enter their credit card details and then upload the file. I've created the combo box & user input text fields. Now what I want is that when user clicks the submit button:
1. A mail is sent to the admin which contain all the details about the form that was filled by the user.
2. The file that is uploaded by the user should also be sent as attachment in the same mail. I'm not able to figure out how to add the feature of file upload in ActionScript.
3. This one is optional, but will add value to me if possible. The website is developed in Wordpress. Can we have a feature where a logged in user can save his order and come again later and retrieve his order form.
