I'm using the code below to search the text in a textarea for a string entered in a textinput. I'm trying to highlight the string in the textarea after it's been searched for. I assume the way to do this is selectRange(). I'm not sure how to find the endIndex for the second parameter of selectRange(). Below is what I have:
protected function searchBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
text = mainTextField.text;[code].....
I am doing one search option in Flash. Where i have a list of 30 people. And i have a virtual keyboard. If anyone click one any letter in that virtual keyboard it ll search the name start with that letter and so on.
Everything is working fine. But what i want is : I want to highlight the letter they are searching that mean if the name is JOSEPH MARG
And they typed JOS , JOSEPH MARG will be listed and at the same time i want to highlight JOS in JOSEPH MARG.
I am able to list it but unable to highlight the particular word which is searched.
I modified the loadBar from one of the popular preload scripts out there. What I am making is a progressbar, sorta like the ones you see in movie previews. But it doesn't seem to o work quite right. Here's what I have: interface.swf - dynamically loads the movie.swf's into itself and will control the movie (when I get around to it). it has the loadBar object

I am encountering a problem in my app only when it is run in flash player 10.1.85.3. Some earlier player versions I have tried are working fine.From what I can tell it seems related to the following:

When searching for objects (not strings) in Dictionary objects using the 'in' operator, if the object is not found in the Dictionary object, it will be searched for in the delegate objects. With 10.1, the toString operator will be called on the Object if not found in the Dictionary. This can cause problems with Proxy objects who need to define the callProperty function or it will generate a RTE. ...what it means "it will be searched for in the delegate objects"?
I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){
autoSize = true;

I have an array collection of strings and integers (which I have displayed in a data grid) and I am wondering if it is possible to export the array collection into an html table? or even a text file for the user to download
I found some pages that had an export to .xls files but I want to stray away from that for now.
Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

i need to split a large text file into an array at line breaks so one array element = one line.i have tried the using "" in both match() and in RegExp but it doesnt work.i had the g and m flags on. tried the $ sign too.
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to make an xml array of text (selected words) to display in an array of textfields I've built. I was wondering if this was possible. I would post the code, but I really don't have anything usable (other then the textfield array).
I have 10 words, and 10 text fields..
I've got a nice bit of code that allows me to dynamically add a dynamic text box to the stage, add text to it and control it's position and formatting:
var txt:TextField = new TextField();txt.text= "feisty";txt.x=50;txt.y=50;var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();format.color = 0x2F55EA;format.font = "Arial";format.size = 18;txt.setTextFormat(format);stage.addChild(txt);
This just makes the word "feisty" appear on the movie.The problem is that I want to create many words with different positions,different starting times, make them go away and then have different words appear. It would look like this:[URL]The swf at the link was created with After Effects and the file size is 1.5 MB - too big for a web banner. I was told I could recreate the whole thing dynamically with actionscript and get file size way down. I've been working through various tutorials with little luck.
I have a list of 100 words, how do I turn the code above into a cloud of words that appear one or two at a time? I assume I will put the words into an array, but then how do I get the code above to cycle through the array and pick up the position and format attributes?
I'm using C3S Flash and working in a button. The text on the button is set to 'dynamic' and I'm trying to display an array value in the 'var' field.
Is there any way I can use an array value in a dynamic text field? I can display the entire array by putting the 'menuarray' name into the text 'var' field, but if I try to display a subset of the array like 'menuarray[0][1]' it displays nothing, even though this subset holds a value (it shows up fine in the trace window).
Is there any way to get around creating dozens of variables just to display array items?
I am trying to display the Array in text field ,I am little bit confused how to display the array on the stage, here is the function which has written , in process function I retrieve data from server in array

Does anyone know how to style array data such as displayed text color, font and size? I am able to set the width, x and y positions and size of the area but I can not format the text or radio buttons. I've tried to set a variable for the displayed text, but it does not recognize the variable. Ive also tried arrOptions[i].font, .color etc but that does not work and returns a compile error.
View 2 RepliesI have an input text where user have to input numbers like 1234-1234-1234-1234
There is four blocks of numbers. each block contains 4 digits, which is compulsory without any space or other characters.
So far it restricted with numbers and a space.
I need to push it in an array, so each number will represent a meaning on programs.
ActionScript Code:
txtInput.restrict = " 0-9";
txtInput.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,dataChanged);
function dataChanged(e:Event):void {
var ar:Array=txtInput.text.split(" ",4);
trace(ar);
}
This code helps to get some extinct but need more accurate to get the actuals from users.
I've a input text field named "a1", and an another named "a2". I just copy inside my array to "generate" in the second frame of the .swf.[code] That's what I copy in it, now I only need to "convert" it into an array, so I just said:[code]I tried so many ways like splitting up the text, push them to the myArr etc..etc.
View 9 RepliesI have created an array with the instance names of all my textFields as below:
myText = [quesText,op1Text,op2Text,op3Text,op4Text,op5Text,a nsText];
I have also created a new textStyle as below:
var questionFormat = new TextFormat()
questionFormat.color = 0x000000;
questionFormat.font = "Verdana";
questionFormat.bold = true;
questionFormat.size = 12;
I don't want to have to apply this format to all the text fields separately.
How can I apply the text format to all the items in the array at the same time?
Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to load dynamic text fields with values from an array? There are tutorials on the net but nothing seems to work for me. I'm beginner and need to have it explained in full detail with nothing missing.
View 3 Repliesi defined a global array in the first frame.When the user clicks on a button a value is inputted into the array, and they can click on several so all the different values are stored in an array.I want to display the last value of the array, so the last button they clicked on, on a separate frame.so i define my array like:
_global.purchases = new Array();
and the code on my button is:
on (release){
_global.purchases="awhite";
_root.gotoAndPlay("checkout_page");
}
and the code on the frame with the text box is:
var arrayCount = purchases.length;
var latestValue = arrayCount-1;
if (purchases[latestValue]=="awhite"){
imagename_txt = "A White";
}
However, the text doesnt display at all. If I trace my array then I get "awhite". If i trace arrayCount I get "6" and "5" for latestValue. But if i try and trace purchases[0] then I get "undefined".
All I want is to create multiple animated textboxes to slide horizontally from one side of the screen to the other and repeat indefinitely in a loop. Now the 'trick' is that I need the textbox contents to be selected at random from an array and for the speed, size and opacity to vary as well (to give a sense of depth, like the 'Parallax' effect).So, the final effect is multiple random strings of text sliding horizontally across the screen at the same time, some appearing closer than others.I'm positive I've seen this effect explained online before, but for the life of me I can't summon the right keywords to bring up a relevant article in my searches (keep getting lots of text scroller tutorials).If anyone knows of any tutorials out there to accomplish something like the above
View 9 RepliesI need to pull data from an xml array, then have it alternate listing the data in the same text box.Here is the concept I've tried but can't quite get it right:

copy_full[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;

I have created an array of input text fields from a custom class(TextBox). When the user enters something into a text box, I want to compare it the expected answer (answers:Array). I can't get the keyPressed function to read the input text. When I trace box[boxnum].text it says "undefined". What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
[Code]...
The code is coming up with [Text Object] instead of what the text actually is (and if I actually add .text it calls up absolutely nothing). This functions perfectly well when using the standard array without the sub-properties and {} brackets (so I think the problem might be somewhere in the push statements). I am not understanding what the error is (probably something blatantly simple, my only guess being some sort of conversion problem).

this is part of an XML file I retrieve using AS3 E4X:
<links>
<link>
<label>Versions</label>
<href>http://mylink1</href>
[Code].....
I want to retrieve the values of labels, so I write:
document.links.link.label.text();
This returns VersionsConfigurations. I need this as Array ([Versions, Configurations]) but I would like not to use a loop. Is there any other way?

I'm trying to create a dynamic text field which displays the first number contained in an array named _root.arr. I set var to "_root.arr[0]" to catch the first number in the array. Unfortunately it doesn't work because it shows just a blank text field.
I've also noticed that if I just set var to "_root.arr" all the numbers contained in the array will be displayed separeted by a comma.
So, how can I just display the first number in the array?
What is the difference between both:
Below one is working
ActionScript Code:
var arrVertrek = ["select the city",arrCity25000[0],arr26000[0],arr26220[0]];
Below one is not working, but as I need this kind of solution with variable =
ActionScript Code:
var arrVertrek = [myDropDownText,arrCity25000[0],arr26000[0],arr26220[0]];
This obviously is not the way to it. I'm trying to add text from an array to a movieclip. The movieclips are created fine but all populated with the last value in the array. I was hoping to populate each instance with the next value in the array.

How do I display the contents of an array in a text box? (AS3) It's a 2-dimensional array, if that matters.
This shows me the first entry, of course:
ActionScript Code:
outputBox.text = bigChunk[0];
This shows me all data in the array, but of course the user won't be able to see this:
ActionScript Code:
trace(bigChunk);
What I want is this, but of course it doesn't work. Gives me an error because I'm trying to use an array as a string.
ActionScript Code:
outputBox.text = bigChunk;
