ActionScript 3.0 :: Clearing The Text From An Input Text Box Upon Click?
Aug 4, 2009
I was attempting to create a text box with a submit button, where, when the text box first appears, there is text inside the box itself, for example, "enter answer here". However, I would like to have the ability to automatically clear that text when the user clicks on the text box, rather than forcing them to clear it.I found this thread which seems like it should work, using FocusEvent http:[url]...... However,when I entered that into my code using the name of my own text field, neither of the functions is ever triggered by clicking on and then off the text box.I even entered a trace to make certain, and it isn't.Am I missing some key point?

I have an input text box where users enter search words and whenever you hit enter it clears the contents.This is obvioulsy annoying as users would expect to hit enter after they have typed the word(s) and have the search performed, not have what they typed removed.How do I stop this?How do I assign the event listener I have on my submit button to the enter key as well?

It is all working fine, except I cannot work out the code i need for the 'CE' or clear button. I want it to just clear the input fields ready for new data.I'm new here so don't know if theres a way I can send you the FLA, but the script is:
/* Calculator program, reads text from input (and validates text fields) and uses math class to display text at runtime
*/

Usually 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?

You've seen those Input Text Fields on web sites that have titles on them, i.e. Name, Email, Message, in the Text field itself. Then, when you click on the the text field to type something in, the "title" disappears and you can type your info in. Perfect example: [URL] (Under "contact")

Is there an event that is dispatched when a text input gets clicked (i.e. to add text), but not after text has been added, simply when it is clicked? It won't have changed, and text won't have been entered.

I 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 need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

the 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 {

Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.

I am working with the new tfl text fields in Flash 10, and have realized that I cannot completely clear the text field from script.
using classic text, I could do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = "";
however, with tfl text, that does not clear the field and returns no errors. What does work is using a space:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = " ";
But that wont work for what Im doing because it is a text entry box, and I need there to be no leading characters when a user starts to type.

I'm creating a dashboard with a lot of buttons that will display pieces of text from an XML file. The trouble is, I can't figure out how to clear the text from a field once it is displayed. If I push another button, the new data will replace the old data, but if the new button is display a smaller data set, it will only replace some of the former data set and the rest stays displayed. Does that make sense? I found some code that clears the text fields, but I don't know where to put it:
