However the title of this thread says "CS5", I think this problem is AS3 related.. I was making a site in CS5, and now I switched to CS5. The only problem are the input textfields. When I run the .swf, I cannot input any numeric values to the text field anymore, except for the "1".. How can this be?! When I open the site in CS3, I still CAN input other numeric values.
how to set a textfield to only accept numeric values?
I am build an Flash program to drill elementary math students.My problem.I am having the students enter in a Input Text box the answer to a Mathematical equation, i.e. 1+1= Input Text Variable. My issue is when I check the answer to see if it is correct Actionscript 2.0 sees the entered Input as text not a numeric value so I cannot compare it against the calculated value. How do I change the input text into a numeric value. I have tried declaring the var as Number but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI would like to input a numerical value into a dynamic text field using a button. The numerical values is one, the button is called a1_btn The dynamic input text field is called results_txt This is the code I am using. Even though it shows no script errors, clicking on the button doesn't input the number on the dynamic text field.
//Mouse event code
a1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
//this is the value of the number
var number1:Number = 1;

I am seeing a strange issue in flex. I need to reset all text input fields to 0 once the
user submits the values to be calculated. In the method
private function calculate():void {
resetToZero();
var num:Number = parseFloat(s21.text);

I have an input text field that is named in the properties box as 'numberOfKids'. When the program is executed, and a delete or backspace is pressed the input textfield goes blank and any calculations that use 'numberOfKids' shows NaN.I have trapped the NaN and undefined so that a numeric 0 shows up instead of a blank.
First problem: The cursor is to the left of the zero, so the first number inputted by the user is 10x larger than what they want. 0 becomes 10. How do I get the cursor to move to the right of the 0?
Second Problem: When I manually move the cursor to the right of the 0 and input a number, say 4, it shows up as 04. How do I delete the leading numeric zero in the input textfield?
Here's the code I am using:
calculateChildWeight = function () { if (isNaN(numberOfKids)) { numberOfKids = 0; } if ((numberOfKids) == undefined) { numberOfKids = 0; } if (numberOfKids>=0 && numberOfKids<=137) { numberOfKids = numberOfKids; } else { numberOfKids = 0; } if (isNaN(adjustedChildWeight)) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } if ((adjustedChildWeight)=undefined) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } adjustedChildWeight = Number(numberOfKids*(-100)); //numberOfKids.setSelection(numberOfKids.length, numberOfKids.length); //if (numberOfKids.length=2 && numberOfKids<10) { // remove the first character or leading zero// numberOfKids = numberOfKids;// }};
I am having troubles migrating from as2 to as3.
The code:
var v1:Number;v1 = parseFloat(valor1.text);total.text= v1;
v1 declared as number. v1 only receives the "float value" of the input text field valor1. The dynamic text field (total) shows the v1 value.My problem is that this works on as2, on as3 i get error :1067 implicit coercion of a value type number etc.
I started to mess up with classes to see how they work, and I'm having some troubleI'm trying to do a class where the user gives an array, and a number. The result is a trace of random X numbers, according to the number the user requested. If he/she types 3, the class gives 3 numbers.It works nice, but when I try to put an sort(Array.NUMERIC), i get this error:

I'm having some problems with input text. I'm using
Code:
mytext_txt.restrict = "0-9.-"
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 (-)...
This can't be too difficult but its killing me. I want my user to be able to type 3 numbers into 3 different input boxes, capture those numbers, calculate and display their average in a fourth text box.
I am not sure how to capture input from a textbox in AS3 in order to do these calculoatilo.
How can I actually change the Numeric Stepper value by entering a number via keyboard without having to press enter or click another Numeric Stepper?I've tried everything, including keyboard events, but had no success.
View 4 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:

I'm trying to extend the text input that comes in flex to support an icon, just like mac os x search text input has a grey circle aligned to the right, the text input has a addChild method, but it didn't work for me.
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 {

I'm trying to use the flash numeric stepper component to pass it's current value into a dynamic text field using AS2.
So basically I drag the numeric stepper onto the stage. Next to it I place a dynamic text field with an instance name of myText.
So what I want is if I click the numeric stepper up to 3, then the dynamic text field will also say 3. Click the numeric stepper up to 22, then the dynamic text field will also say 22.
Can someone tell me the actionscript needed to do this and if the actionscript needs to go on the component itself or in the timeline.
I am tying to make a number appear in a dynamic text window. I have a dynamic textfield on the stage with an instance name called count_txt. The code that I am using is shown below. Both tace statements show a value of 100 but nothing appears in the dynamic text window.
var count_txt:Number;
var n:Number;
n = 100;

We got a call today from a customer saying she was unable to input colon ":" in a textfield, instead it would turn into a ">". My first thought, since she's on a PC, was that she probably had switched her keyboard layout from swedish to english which would indeed make the colon turn into a "greater than". But after some investigation this happened on every pc I tested this on, and outside flash the inputs were correct. I am able to copy-paste a colon into the textfield.I also tried this on a pc with Windows 7 with a strange outcome. The first input became a ">", but after that the colons appeared correctly. After reloading the flash it worked from the first input.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to retrieve an input value from a dynamically created input text fields ("qtyWant_txt"). I want to play that value back into an array ("QtyWant"), which is tied to a form. When the form is submitted, it'll grab the value in the array. My problem is that I'm unable to retrieve the value in the input field prior to passing it to the array.

I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
View 3 Repliesi created an input text box that puts the users input into a global variable, but when i test it it gives me not only what i have typed in but all the html formatting for the font that my input text box has on it.I only want the text that i have typed in to go into the variable but the wackload of html is going in there too. ive tried a few different things, rewriting my code, recreating the text box, changing settings, dont know what im missing.

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..?
