ActionScript 3.0 :: Default Text Disappear Onclick Of InputText?
Feb 21, 2009
I have an InputText field for users to submit information to me. I want to have the text field display some default text (Ex. Type E-Mail Here) and then when the field is clicked, the text will be cleared.After a long time of searching a found a solution that works perfectly....using ActionScript 2.0. Unfortunately my site is in 3.0 therefore I cannot use this code. For the example I want my default text to be "Type E-Mail Here", and the InputText Instance Name will be "inputTxt"
Here is the 2.0 code:
Code:
inputTxt.textField = "Type E-Mail Here..."
inputTxt.onSetFocus = function() {[code]....
When using this code in AS3, I get the error code "1120: Access of undefined property inputTxt". What do I need to make this code work in AS3?

I have a 'room' movieclip with 4 frames each representing a different view (N,S,W,E). I have a different shape object in each frame. The shape objects all subclass a generic shape class and consequently disappear onClick. The problem is that they reappear when the frame is revisited. I've used event.target.visible = false in the generic shape class. I'm wondering if there is a way to 'permanently' remove them through the generic shape/parent class? I'm trying to avoid a rank of if functions and use a catch-all if possible.

I'm using AS3 on timeline. There are four input text boxes (input_txt, input_txt1..) and one dynamic text (mess_txt). When user types answers on input text boxes, dynamic text should change to either correct or incorrect.
Dynamic text only changes when the last input text box changes text. why don't the others change as well? I have tried putting the else conditional in different places without success.

I have a total of 5 separate buttons in my flash document. I want to have a user to be able to click the button and have it display some sort of text near the button itself. How do I get the text to stay once a button is clicked and disappear when another button is clicked? I dont want to use the hit method because the text will contain hyperlinks that I want the user to be able to click on.

I want to add a text area on the click or a button, for example lets say if a person has multiple addresses and they want to add more address. When the user clicks 'add address' a new text area should appear.I have looked everywhere for the solution but no luck
Hear is the code that I have tried (and this could be very wrong):
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.events.CloseEvent;
private function createTextField(evt:Event):void{
var theTextField:TextField = new TextField();

When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.

I have the following code:
Code:
this.createTextField ("imageText",2,95,0,390,96);
imageText.multiline = true;
imageText.wordWrap = true;[code].....
The problem:If I uncomment either of the imageText.embedFonts lines, my text will disappear... but the trace(imageText.text); will still return the correct contents. It's as though embedFonts causes the textField to disappear.Possibly related, (but maybe not), is the fact that the vertical positioning of the font is off. Even though I create the textField at Y = 0, the text writes somewhere around Y = 10. I suspect this is something else, but I thought I'd add it just in case.

For example:
|enter email| - this is loaded when the page is loaded
|_________| - then disappears when you click to type

I created a little flash header for my works website, a demo can be viewed by visiting [URL]
I noticed that if you highlight the text with your mouse multiple times really fast, the text will sometimes dissapear. whats up with that?
You have to be fast in order to initiate this bug, click and highlight and do it multiple times really fast.
They are dynamic textfields of type TextField.

how i can have a text in a testfied disappear after say 5 sec or so. the thing is i have displayed a file for visiters to download and have handled the SELECT EVENT, CANCEL EVENT, PROGRESS EVENT COMPLETE EVENT AND IOERROR EVENT OF THE FILE REFERENCE in one dynamic text field which is all working alright but the last message stays in the text field which is what i want to get rid of after a few seconds.
I tried to use transitions and timer to do it but i can't get my head round it.

does anyone know how to make the initial text in an input text box disappear once your cursor changes from the arrow to the type cursor? For example, I have an input text box which has the text visible saying "enter your email address here" I want this text to disappear automatically when the user goes to type something there...

I have a dynamic textfield which seems normal with the text I set by Flash IDE, but it disappears when I change it's text property, programmatically.Except if I set the textfield to use no anti-aliasing (Bitmap text [no anti-alias]);
I don't know why that's happening, maybe it's because the font I'm using, (it's the Helvetica Neue, Black Condensed) or it is some Flash CS5 Bug.[code]...

I am trying to apply a transition to one of my forms. It seems like everything works fine except for the text disappears when I apply transitions like rotating.
I did a google search and saw that I have to embed fonts but I wasn't able to get it working.
I tried:
Code:
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = myEmbeddedFont.fontName;
myFormat.size = 12; // the same size as the embedded font

Why would this happen?
I've added Helvetica to my Library. I've set it to export for Actionscript. I've given it the name 'Helvetica'. I'm setting the defaultTextFormat. Then I tell it to embedFonts, and the bloody textfield doesn't show up.
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat('Helvetica Neue', 13, 0xFFFFFF);
tf.embedFonts = true;

I have a FLA file that when I open it and I rollover any title in a palette window all the text in that and every window disappears. For instance the title "Timeline" will vanish. And most of the text in the palette vanishes, for instance all the text in the properties panel disappears like "Position and Size". This does not occur with any of my many other FLA files. I have had some issues with fonts lately. After deleting some bad fonts, my FLA ask me to remap some fonts, which I do. Everything in the FLA appears to be working fine.
