I have created some input text boxes using AS3. For starters, unless I set the text in the code to = " " you can't type in them. Secondly if I click on each box individually I can type in them. However if I tab through them I can't. Here is a link to the site I'm working on. I'm referring to the calendar / bookings form on the first page. To see the form just click on a date after today.

View 3 RepliesI am new to flash and trying to output numbers I have put into textboxes with a button.
My code so far:
var myArray: Array = new Array();
myArray.push(Number(textbox1.text))
myArray.push(Number(textbox2.text))
myArray.push(Number(textbox3.text))
button1.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myArray);
});
So I have made 3 textboxes and a button, I run this and when I input info into these textboxes and hit the button it displays 0,0,0 like it doesn't read the numbers I have inputted into the textbox.
Is there anyway to make save information that people have put in input text boxes. For example they could put the info in and then save it so it will appear next time.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set up a calculator for a couple of formulas I need to use for some schoolwork. I thought it would be a lot easier if I could just put the numbers in there and hit enter.I can't figure out how to transfer the numbers from the input box to the dynamic box though =/. I figured I'd try to get going really easy, just do a input box, when you click on a button, a dynamic box displays whatever is in the input box. I cant get it to work though . I tried various variations of codes, Heres some of them:
[AS]
this.btn.onRelease = function(){
this.outp.getProperty(this.inp)

View 1 RepliesI have an input text box with the instance inputnameone. On another page I have a dynamic text box with the instance outputnameone. When I press button with the instance "submit", I want the information in inputnameone to go into output name one. From the basic as3 I've been able to learn I've written this actionscript:
submit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, transfernameone);
function transfernameone(e:MouseEvent):void {
outputnameone.text = inputnameone.text;

I have a .swf file that loads all of it's images from an embedded file called assets.swf. Last night everything was working fine and then I tried to add a pre-loader. As soon as I did that I can no longer get the input fields to work properly. When you hover your mouse over them it changes to the text cursor but you can't type into the fields. I've tried giving them focus, setting a default value, made sure they have an instance name and nothing seems to work. They're not behind another movie clip and the font is being embedded like it should be.url..
All the other posts I could find about this issue says it has to do with embedding the font. The font I'm using is Tahoma and it's embedded in both of the input fields. Another post I read said the problem was related to masks. I'm not using masks on either of these fields. Anyone know what's going on? It was working fine before I added the pre-loader and removing the pre-loader doesn't seem to fix the problem when this was working fine before.[code]
Maybe someone knows what's up. I've got an input textbox and a dynamic textbox, and I've got a key listener so that whenever you type in the input appears in the output. I've embedded numbers and cap letters in both. This works locally, but when I put it live, you can't type anything into it?If you paste any content into it, it works fine, but, typing it doesn't. The weird part is it works when previewed in flash but not on a server.If you check the 'Custom plate' at the bottom of the 2nd column of options, it sets focus to the input box, and there the trouble happens.I'm thinking it's something with the key listener? I'll try to put the code here for your scrutiny. Weird that it's putting in a space in 'function' of the onrelease, that's not how it is, but also I don't think that part is the problem, but just something with the forum here.[code]

We got some complaints from users not being able to type in certain chars like '@' and '.' in an input field (textfield). The Textfield is an input field type:
Font embedding seems fine (all needed chars are selected + '@' and '.')
Textfield restrict property is set: "a-zA-Z0-9@.\_\-"
Still some users complain not being able to type a '@' or '.' I've googled and searched the forum and the only thing I've found that could cause this was the wmode = 'opaque' property. We need to set this property to show up Facebook Connect windows. Otherwise these windows would get behind the Flash object in the HTML page. Another reason could be related to the regional settings of the keyboard, which might be faulty interpreted by Flash. Or could it simply be related to a faulty restrict (regex) property?
I'm wondering if it is possible to be able to type a function name into a Text Input and call the function that was put in. I know you could do it by using if conditions but I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that string into the function caller.

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to create an input text field that someone can type in, then by clicking a button, the font changes.
I can't figure out how to:
1 - Embed multiple fonts in an input text field
2 - create a function that chooses and applies a font to the text field
On my stage I have an MC with a textfield of type input. I have another MC on stage with the control for the input like bold, and italic. When my textfield has focus and I click on one of the control MC buttons it loses focus. I know I can reset focus with stage.focus but wanted to know if there is a better way. Like disable the control MC from taking the focus off the input text. I thought this was not the behavior. I thought that only another input type control can steal focus until now.

I seem to be having a very strange problem with an input textfield. If i have an original message in the input text field, eg Enter your name. Then i add a focus event to the textfield to check when the user selects the textfield. Once they do i want to clear the original message, so that the textfield is blank for when they start typing, but for some reason once i do that i can no longer type in the textbox. The code is from a custom text class i created, but a much simpler version.
View 2 RepliesSo I have an input TextField and I'm wanting to use a custom font for it. I tried to use setTextFormat() with a TextFormat object, which does not make any difference. When setting embedFonts to true, Nothing at all gets displayed. I know the problem isn't with the TextFormat object, because I can apply the same format to a regular TextField and it works
View 1 RepliesUsually my input-text-box works great but sometimes my input-text-box will not allow people to type into it - and the only thing that will fix it is clearing the cache.But users will not clear their cache, they will just leave my site.There is a lot more animation in the .swf than I usually put in it but it's optimized. Perhaps the Flash player is choking on the animation?
View 4 RepliesI have a basic input textfield that's inside a couple of movieclips. I have it set to input, and the cursor obediently appears when it's focused. However, any typing on the keyboard yields absolutely nothing. I'm curious as to what needs to happen to an input textfield to actually allow it to grow to become the input textfield it was meant to be. Now, the whole deal runs just fine when tested from the Flash IDE, but once it is published and embedded online it's hopelessly useless. I have two fields, the first being for an email and the second for a password. I've tried just about every combination of setting I could find, but here is the latest:
PHP Code:
emailField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
emailField.defaultTextFormat = formatField;
emailField.textColor = fieldColor;emailField.text = "";
emailField.background = true;
emailField.border = true;
I'm aware that how something is embedded somehow effects how it works (though I'm fairly certain the display engine is made by the same people? ), so here is the embed [Code] ..... Everything else works just fine though... how the buttons interact, ExternalInterface, etc.. How what should be the simplest task fails to function just amazes me though. Do I have to literally make listeners to process all of the keyboard input? That would suck... but why would it work fine when I do "Test Project" and not when it's published and embedded?

View 3 RepliesI have completed a simple contact form using Flash CS5 and AS2. Instead of having headings such as "your email", "subject" and "message" outside each text field, they are contained inside each relevant text field and are made up of input text. I would like to do two things: To have the initial text (ie. "Subject") in a smaller size and heavier weight than the subsequent text typed in by the user. I would also like the initial text (ie. "Subject") to disappear as soon as the user starts to type in the same box.
View 2 RepliesIn order to use a pixel font in my textfields, I have created a font class in the Flash IDE. Then, I created a TextField instance with the font embedded with the anti aliasing set to bitmap. I export an SWC with all those things.I created a class with a nice API to be able to deal with this stuff easily.In FDT, I use class and this all works properly.
The issue here is that I now want to use one of these textfields as an input. I tried setting the textfield type to TextFieldType.INPUT, however the only thing that this does is allow me to select the text, I cannot type. I also created another asset with the type already set to input, does not work either.I tried with just the asset, not with my class, and then I can type ok.Is there something that prevents a textfield from being editable once it is part of a sprite? Here is the code of my class with the API:
