Hey, can I restrict a certain string within a textfield?

I have a text field within Flash that contains a block of (obviously) text. What I want to do is perform a search on the content of the text field that returns the x & y coordinate and the width & height of the found text. The result will be used to place a visual element over that portion of the text box.
For example:
var pattern:RegExp = /d+/g;
var found:Array = box.text.match(pattern);
var i:String;
for each(i in found) {
/**
* Find the x, y, width, height of the matched text in the text field
* Use result to place transparent yellow box around text
*/
}
Which visually should result in something like:
i placed a movieclip with a textfield in it on the stage.i want to compare between the textfield.text value to a string' but always recieve a false value when i'm doing it.when i use trace:
ActionScript Code:
trace ("1:"+returnType(word.myText)+"m");
trace ("2:"+category.catText.text+"m");

I'm working on a gallery where I'm numbering the thumbnails with
this.number.text = this.id+1;
It works great and numbers them perfectly but on the initial movie clip for the thumbs there "nan" pops up in the text field. Is there a way to hide this?
I have a textfield where I type whatever I want
when I press a button it do the following:
- add the content of the textfield to a String, this string is a mySQL generated dinamically.
- send this string to a php that executes this mySQL query string;
everythings works fine. the only problem I have is when I need write a word with ' like dog's or la l'orona. How can I fiz this?
i have this code (from another thread), which was got through the support of fellow geniuses on this forum but they showed how to put this into a textfield, which is what i want to do, but they showed how to do it before I made it display just the news feeds. So when i tryed to add what they taught me to this code BAM FAIL! So im asking one more/THE LAST TIME for the support from the forum to display this.

Im making a swf that makes a Tween of 3 textFields, when i export it for flash Player 10 it works right. But as soon as i export it for Flash Player 9 or play it on a machine with Flash Player 9, everything works right except the TextField, it just doesn't display but doesn't throw any error. Even the TweenEvent gets dispatched like if it had worked right.I've been debugging it and all the variables are present and with correct values. Is there an issue of TextField or Tween compatibility with Flash Player 9??, NOTE: Currently Working with CS4

Does anyone know of an XML utility Class that will "auto-format" XML to display within a textField? Just looking for a down-n-dirty solution to display the entire XML tree (via xml.toXMLString()) within a textBox, but would love to find a utility that would format the XML so that it's easier to read within a textField.
Something like:
Code:
<forecast

Is this at all possible? I'm trying to write raw XML (tags, attributes, indents and all) in a text field. The problem is that the text field is using .htmlText, for text coloring, so I cannot simply use the .text property instead. The result is that the XML tags are interpreted as HTML and subsequently only their contents are shown.

I'd like to know if there is a way to reference a dynamic text box's instance name through the use of a string.I know that this["the string"] works for movieclips, but haven't had much luck with the text field.Here's a simplified snippet of code I have so far - The goal is to replace txtInstance with txtInstanceArray[k]
var txtInstanceArray:Array = ["txtInstance","txtInstance1","etc"];
var colArray:Array = ["hitsum","hitsum1","etc"];
for (var k:int = 0; k < 30; k++){

Is there any way to have a text field and a particular string in that text field work like a button. For example if I have the following text placed in a textfield via mytextfield.text =
Code:

Can buttons take variables? Right now I'm trying to pass a string into a buttons text field with:

I want to split a string into its individual characters and then put them in movieclips so that they can be individually tweened.
i was thinking i could split() the string into an array and then create an array of movieclips, each movieclip containing the corresponding letter in the split() array. would this be a good way to resemble a textfield? im looking to do something like the effect here: [URL] i just don't feel like spending $99 to get the package.

I have drawn a textfield (instance name - my_Text) onto the stage. In my actions I have a variable (called 'myFrame') which is an 'int' and the value is a number drawn from an xml feed. Now when I trace the variable 'trace(myFrame)' the correct number displays into the output window. However, when I try to display this variable, using 'myText.text = myFrame', an error occurs. How do I display this integer into a textfield?

I have a textfield (the one that shows ammo) that doesent display all numbers. U have uploaded the swf. The code that I used to make the textfiled display some text is:
ActionScript Code:
function checkAmmo(e:Event){
var percentAmmo:Number = curAmmoInClipFirst/clipSizeWep1*100;
if (curAmmoInClipFirst >= 0){
trace(curAmmoInClipFirst);
ammoLeftBar.bar.scaleY = percentAmmo/100
} else {
Char.reloadGun();
} ammoLeftBar.ammoLeftNumber.text = curAmmoInClipFirst.toString() + " / " + clipSizeWep1.toString();
}}}
Which is triggered onEnterFrame.
If the word "book" is part of the text entered in the text field "mytextfield" the flash should do the action "GotoAndStop(2)". I tried this, but it didn't worked.
Code:
function search() {
var box = this.mytextfield.text;
trace(box);
var str = box;
if (var location == str.indexOf("book")) {
GotoAndPlay(2) ;
}
Given an array of strings, how would i get an array of different textfield Objects, labeled with that string? WITHOUT explicitly defining every single Object. My idea was to create an array with textfield objects, and then assign the strings in a loop. But how do I create such an array?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to display a text field that has text inside it, and display the flashing Caret at the end of the text. I have tried the following:
Code:
// ti_title is my textField
stage.focus = ti_title;
ti_title.setSelection( ti_title.length, ti_title.length );
[code]....
The field is focused because I can type into it, but I do not see a Caret until I have started typing. This is not very good for usability.
I have even tried removing text then re-adding it and then setting the selection again, but still not working.
