ActionScript 3.0 :: Backspace Button For A Virtual Keyboard?
May 10, 2010
I have got everything working on a virtual keyboard, except the backspace button. Does anybody know of a method that uses the .appendTest() to delete the last character typed by a user???
Inputtext field is named "dirsearch"'
_del is the instance name of the button that hopefully act as a back space button.
my code so far:
_del.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, deletelast);
function deletelast(e:MouseEvent):void{[code]..

How would you make a button event call a function which acts like a backspace keyboard event delete.I tried faking the dispatch keyboard event "keyup" "keydown" with keycode 8 and keynumber 8 without success.No other way than doing it by hand with begin and end select index plus substr ?I have a textinput i just want to add a button acting like a backspace.

im trying to make a virtual keyboard using flash. im using keyCodes, problem is how do you do a backspace?
Code:
if (Key.getCode() == 65) {
var_text.text = var_text.text + "a";
}
the code above should display "a" in a dynamic text box when you press "a" but how about backspace? I thought that the code below would work but it deletes the whole entry rather than a character.
Code:
if (Key.getCode() == 8) {
var_text.text = var_text.text - "";
}

Is it possible to emulate computer keyboard key-press with a simple button in AS 2?I was porting one game to my touch-screen phone and you control that game by pushing 2 buttons (z and x).I looked at the scripts of that game and couldn't find where are the functions that trigger when you push a keyboard button so I wanted to emulate a keyboard press with a button instead.

Does anyone know if it's possible to integrate the ToushSmart's virtual keyboard with an Adobe AIR application? In most programs (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc), when a user touches a text field a little keyboard icon automatically pops up which, when pressed, will bring up the virtual keyboard. However, this doesn't happen when clicking on text input fields in Adobe AIR applications.
Has anyone had any experience working with AIR/Flash and touchscreens? Is there any API that can tell Windows (or the HP virtual keyboard specifically) that the user has clicked in a text field and that the virtual keyboard should be shown? The text fields are the standard kind (fl.controls.TextInput).

1. I want to create a cell phone keyboard, you know, where you need to tap 2 or 3 times a key to show the character on its display and so. "Number", "send" and "clear" actions buttons, too.
2. Well, when you click on "Send button", I need to send the variable you inserted before to another field. That field will be show later. So, I need that variable keeps in "cache".

In my AIR app, when the virtual keyboard shows up the screen height shrinks. The problem I am having is after the virtual keyboard hides, the screen size stays shrunk and you can see a big black gap under the bottom of the app. The only way to adjust it is to rotate to landscape then back to portrait.
This seems to be a glitch with the virtual keyboard and programmers shouldn't be responsible for handling the screen size after it hides.

If I put in some code like this...
Code:
this.onKeyDown = function():Void {
trace (Key.getCode());
}
Key.addListener(this
...it doesn't detect anything when I press the backspace key, or the enter key. What is wrong? How do I detect these?

I have noticed this bug when developing my flash application on a windows platform. If typing text in to a text box in a Flash swf running in Safari 5 browser on Windows then press backspace the browser will jump to the previous page in history rather than performing the function that backspace is supposed to - here is a link to another report of this apple bug.URL...

I have a simple form that I'm building. It has a variable length list of entries, and I'm using a TextInput for each entry.
Because the list is variable in length, I'm allowing the user to delete elements from the list. One of the ways they can do this is to press the backspace key when the cursor is in an empty TextInput. I am handing KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and checking for the backspace key, to accomplish this.
The problem I am having is that after I remove the deleted TextInput, I want to leave the focus in the TextInput above. I can do this using 'setFocus', and that works fine, however it seems that the backspace is still processing, and so after the focus is set, the content of the TextInput is delete which I don't want.
To get around this, I've created a one-shot timer with a 0ms delay which changes the focus after the KeyDown event has completed.
My workaround is successful, but feels very heavy handed. Is there a better way to achieve the same effect?

I am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.

I must not be looking in the right area as it seems there is no way to search one particular Adobe product at a time, only "Search Forums" which means I get a bunch of useless results to "keyboard navigation" and "keyboard shortcuts" and the above subject. I am a novice user with a novice question for which there doesn't appear to exist any readily available information for which means I don't expect anyone will answer this question but I'll go ahead with it anyway in the hopes that maybe someone will read this w/in the next few months.
Here is what I'm wanting to do:
First I want to establish a list of frames on the timeline I would like the user to be able to jump to at the press of a keyboard button say the down arrow. Say this list consists of the following frame numbers, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. I would like that if they are watching the movie on frame 12, upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 15 and if they are on frame 22 upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 1 etc.. I do not however want it to direct them to frame 1 if they are on frame 12 and press the down arrow for the first time.
This seems like a severely easy question (at least the part about keyboard navigation) for which I would expect they would have it in the Adobe classroom in a book or some official tip or direction about how to do this w/out possibly having to spend 15,000 years learning a coding language to do one goddam thing!

I have a couple Buttons on the stage (the ones you find in the flash's built-in components). Whenever I press space-bar, the button gets "clicked". This is bothering me because I only want the button to be activated with a mouse click. Is there any way to make the buttons not respond to keyboard events?

I have a basic presentation which will have basic interactivity for the user. i.e. The user clicks on a play button, and the presentation plays, the user clicks on a back button, and the playhead steps back through the animation. I also want to provide keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing, so the user can also hit the spacebar to play the presentation, or press the left arrow key to step back, etc.
I've successfully gotten both the click interactivity and keyboard interactivity to work... but only separately, when I try to add them to the same file, it breaks. I also think I've figured out why. The problem seems to be that if I click a button that is only on the timeline for SOME of the frames, the KeyboardEvent listener no longer triggers.
I have a rewind button that will jump the playhead to the start of the presentation. However, from a use design standpoint, I really only want the rewind button visible/clickable if the user has advanced a bit into the presentation (i.e. frame 2 or beyond) because having the rewind button active on the first frame of the presentation can be confusing because it makes it appear to the user as though they can still rewind further, even though they've reached the beginning. I want to take a similar approach to a play button... as long as there are frames to play, the play button should be active; however, once you reach the end, the play button should dim down and not be clickable anymore, which serves as a visual cue to the user that they have reached the end of the presentation.
So, previously (in AS 2.0) this was not a problem. On the frame I wanted the rewind button to be "disabled", I would just turn the Button Symbol into a Graphic Symbol which would make it unclickable and remove any script, and then I would dim the Alpha of the Graphic. So, on frame 1, the rewind button would actually just be a transparent Graphic, and then once the playhead goes to Frame 2, it would be a Button symbol that could be clicked.
This technique apparently will break the new event model in AS3. If you look at the FLA I have attached (just change the extension), you can see that when you first "Test Movie"... any keyboard press outputs a trace statement that shows which key was pressed. However, if you hit the play button to play a little of the timeline, and then click the rewind button (instance name of rewind_btn) which jumps the playhead to frame 1 (where rewind_btn doesn't exist, because it's a Graphic now).
Now my Keyboard listener doesn't trigger!
I've even tried testing to see if the KeyboardEvent listener still exists by using the hasEventListener("keyUp"), and it returns as true, so the listener is there, it just doesn't trigger anymore
How would I go about solving this problem? Because I can see this being a huge issue in a more complicated project, because I could see scenarios where you only want certain buttons to exist on certain frames
