View 10 RepliesI open up Flash CS5 and make a simple INPUT TEXTFIELD. I run the program, and I can't even use all the characters. It is under ARIAL font. This is literally destroying my soul. Look, if I want to embed fonts, I will embed fonts like in CS4. What is the crazy idea that now we have to embed every font we want to use? Is that how this is going? If I want to use ARIAL, I literally have to embed it? Did APPLE get their hands on Adobe developers and do something seriously this sick to the CS5 world?
I want to make simple input textFields like in the past, without having to embed fonts.
drawPanel is a movieclip which contains 23 textfields which I've created in the lib. 23 textfields has their instance name.. var1, var2.. etc... I need to ref dynamically to the textfields to input the characters. I see people using getDefinitionByName however can't get that to work.

I have the following problem. I created a very simple log in with two input textfields and a submission button. The problem is that people would type in their log in informations and then hit enter, which results in a page break for the password input textfield. I tried a few things like setting the input textfield to single line which did not make a difference. Then I tried to apply to on enter key action but had to realise that you can only apply this action to a buuton and not a textfield. Any help would be apreciated. I am working with flash 8 on a mac with osx...
on (release) {
if (name.text == "student" && password.text == "student") {
gotoAndStop("workPlacements");
} else if (name.text == "admin" && password.text == "admin") {
gotoAndStop("workPlacements");
} else
false_txt.text = "invalid password or username"
}
I have a problem with input textfield. The problem is, I have 2 input textfields, and a button. When the button is released, it will check if the 2 input textfields is filled. If they are filled, the AS will clean the input textfields, but next time the button is released, it don't check if the input fields are filled How can I restart, refresh the input textfields? So they are like "new ones".
View 4 RepliesI added this to my document class:
Code:
private var title_txt:TextField;

private var myFormat:TextFormat;
myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.align = "center";

The problem now is that changes of myFormat (in size or color) don't have any effect on the text in the text fields. Why is this and how can I improve this? Did I forget to import a certain class again?
Is it possible to somehow include smileys in dynamic or input textfields in flash?

View 1 Repliesis it possible to set a tlf or textfield to a fixed numer of lines for keyboard input?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to limit the number of lines people can enter in an input textfield. I tried stuff with maxScroll, but that doesn't check if people press enter, so i end up with too many lines of text. I then looked at maxChars, but it's no use either, because users can still enter as many lines as they want.Is there no way you can combine maxChars and maxScroll? there also is "textfield.onScroller" which checks if the textfield is being scrolled. Can't i use an eventhandler based on onScroller? Like:[code]this results in people not being able to edit messages anymore after they reach the end of the textfield.I have no idea how to limit the number of lines in an input textfield. Anyone?
View 7 RepliesIm having an odd problem--I have 5 input textfields on the stage, but for some reason when run in order to input text within the first two fields I have to click within those fields from around its middle all the way to the right.Otherwise, no caret shows up and no typing displays.The other fields all work fine--ie, I can click at their leftmost point and get a caret and start typing..I even used the same textfield(#3) to create fields 1 and 2 and still I have to click about midway or to the right to get the caret.
View 3 Repliesim trying to make a simple text input field, where a user can input a fixed number of chars (this bit isnt the problem). And can only make a certain amount of new lines. This bit is the problem. Currently a user can keep pressing return and make the text field as large as they wish, and i need to basically stop any input say it reaches 8 lines.
Ive looked at numLines which states is readOnly but does something odd if u set it to a number. What its doing is not allowing my text field to change size at all. I have some code that repositons my text field and a clip underneath as it grows. Defining numLines stops this working which confuses me further:)
Im know i can check against numLines so when its goign to go greater then to stop inout. But im not sure on how to actually stop the input if that makes sense.
is there a way to limit the user from entering more than lets say 4 lines in an input textfield?
View 8 RepliesI am working on an application in which i have put one Multi line input text box. I want to allow user to enter data only up to 8 Lines. User can not enter more than 8 lines. So is there any solutions..??? I dont want to use MaxChars as it can restrict user to not enter more than predefined number of characters. I want to restrict user from entering more than predefined number of lines.

function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?
