ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying User Input In Welcome Message
Feb 8, 2009
The goal is to have the user enter their name in the input text box and then click start. When they click start a ball starts rolling and a welcome message should display "Welcome + name". At first the ball is rolling fine and the name is displayed - but after about 3 seconds the frames sort of flip and "Welcome name" turns into just "Welcome" (name dissapears)
I'm sure it's something really dumb but my eyes are crossing.
- layer 1 is my circle image (myCircle)
- layer 2 is my button (startButton)
- layer 3 is the input field (inputName) and the dynamic field (displayName)
Here's the code:
stop();
var inputName:TextField = new TextField();
inputName.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
inputName.x=200;
inputName.y=100;
inputName.width=150;
inputName.height=20;
inputName.border = true;
addChild(inputName);

I am new at flash and am trying to create a input text box message that goes away when the user types. Here is an example of what I want to do: [URL] On the bottom right hand corner when you click on the input box, the message goes away. Is it possible to do this in flash?
Flash version CS3 AS version AS3 Skill level - AS2 Flash 8 - better than Average. Skill level - AS3 - a little better than beginner.
Problem: Creating an FLV movie using CS3 / AS3 FLVPlayback component. Having problems with buffering issues - large FLV file 23 MB
I'd like to add either text or an animated movie clip that displays a "buffering" message before the movie is loaded enough to play AND if the play head catches the buffer, I want it to show again until the movie has rebuffered and then disappear when it starts playing again.
how this can be done with a custom player using netstream, but having a heck of a time finding anything that shows how to do it with the FLVPlayback component.
What I've done:
This is my video as it stands at the moment. [URL]
I have added a progress bar per the instructions in this tutorial [URL] (I used the section titled: "Adding a progress bar component" - the code is identical to what is displayed there.)
However, even though the progress bar is displayed, it is not displayed long enough for enough of the FLV to be buffered to play smoothly.
Hence my interest in adding a 'buffering' message. Either that, or display the progress bar long enough to buffer enough of the movie so that it doesn't stutter or stall during initial playback.
I used an array called lane because it wasn't working without the array, but still isn't. I kept the array just because it keeps it just a bit organized. The trouble is the line: lane[number1].text = number2; Because lane[number1].text isn't recognized as a text box, well not a text box with the same name as I want at least... Each four text boxes do not show anything?
I have this code (below) where a user enters 6 numbers ranging from 1-49 but they cannot enter any other number apart from the ones specified. If they do press the submitButton at this point it should trace the error message 'OUT OF RANGE' into a dynamic text field. My problem is that I don't know why the error message wont display in the dynamic text field in the scene.
submitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submitInfo); function submitInfo(event) { var index:int = -1; var num:int=0; var myArray_array:Array = new Array (); [Code] .....
I have some text that says go to page with a input textfield box and a go button. This is a flash cs4 file.I want to have the user input the page number and have it go to that frame.I am using actionscript 3.0 and have bought 4 books and researched online and still can't find what I am looking for.I can make the go button go to whatever page I want I just don't know how to get the information the user put in the box.
I have a message and its visible property is false how can i make it so it becomes true when the user types anything but a number. So there input textfield and a send button if the user types hello when they click send i want the message to become true. How would you do it? restrict?
How to develop a flash file that can simulate a sms (text message) input like how you will write a message with your mobile phone. For example pressing the num '1' once, will give u 'a', twice will give u 'b', and trice will give u 'c' etc. I have an onscreen number pad, so user click the button '1' will give u 'a', twice will give u 'b' and etc. Problem is how can I detect the mouse to be how many click before they chunk out a alphabet. Also not forgetting some key like '7' need to test for 4 hit (P,Q,R,S).

I have a flash movie, that shows a message to a user when it first loads up. When the users mouse enters the stage or moves the mouse the message disappears. However I would like to hide the message if the users mouse starts over the flash movie on the page load. Is this possible or does it need an interaction first?
I have a perfectly working form on my site where users input their email and it goes straight into my email inbox. However, I would like them to recieve an autoresponder message when they input an email. Although the(my) email to which user's email is sent to has an autoresponder active, my server administrator explained that when an email is recieved, an autoresponder is sent to the form/site and not the user's email address. He said I would require a code to put in my form to facilitate sending the autoresponder to the user who inputs his email in my site.
I have the following which produces a trace if the user does not type an email address when testing locally, but nothing when testing outside of Flash.

- I have a sample online store with products & numeric steppers so the user can select the quantity the want. I want to display their selections into the flash datagrid so that upon checkout they can see the products chosen.
-I have several columns for the datagrid, "Quantity, Product, Price, & Total". I want to display the items chosen in their corresponding fields however, the way I have set up my code all of the items are appearing in the one column.
I 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.
However, I want to recall this entered name and display it in a dynamic text field in my MainMenu page, which uses a separate class. I don't know how to pass the string into a different class.
All I want is to have the latest 3 or so posts from my clients Facebook page to populate and animate in a screensaver that I am building using Flash (AS3).
So far, every time I try to bring anything in, it requires a complete oAuth login and account link, but it's only a one way exchange (read-only, absolutely no writing, posting or even linking, since it's a screensaver) I'm not even sure the client wants pictures or anything.
I am currently trying to use the facebook-actionscript-api, but there isn't an option for the "App Login" type of Authentication that would solve most of my problems.
I have code for the user to enter their name in a text box. Once the submit button is clicked I want the name entered to be dispatched with an event as well as displayed on the stage. The reason I want the text field input name to be dispatched is because the text box to enter your name is on the main menu which is loaded and unloaded in order to play through various games.Below is the code to enter your name into the text box.
Code: var NameTextField:TextField = new TextField();var MyFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); MyFormat.size = 20; NameTextField.defaultTextFormat = MyFormat;[code].....
I am having a really frustrating problem with creating 2 random numbers. When I run the program, everything works fine, until I hit my object and go to the screen "math". Once there, all it shows is one number in one of the 2 boxes. Below is the code used to generate the numbers. I used the "trace" command to see if it was actually generating the numbers, and it is. The problem seems to be with pushing that number into the variable and displaying it to the user.
I'm updating a game in a Flash, using Actionscript 2 (what it was originally built in). It's a quiz game with different categories. At the end of each test is a results page showing their score for each of all the categories; each score being saved and displayed each time it's brought up. I need to have a print button added to this page, which I was able to do with
And labeling the frame of what I want to print #p. This works, but the drawback is, I can do that on each results page frame for each category; the error that results from multiple frames labeled the same thing, 'causes the dynamic text fields displaying the score to go blank when the print button is clicked. Even if it didn't, it would still print all of the frames with that label, printing multiple copies of the same results screen. Initially I planned to tie all the quizzes to a single results page; one results page, one results frame, only one frame with the #p label, and is the only thing printed.
The problem there is, I need to be able to have a back button that goes back to a point in the category the user just finished; so they can take the test again if they want, or take another part of the test in that category. So my idea was to put all of the dynamic text fields and the print button, inside a movie clip. All the text boxes have maintained their names and have embedding enabled. All of the actionscript, on any level of that frame, has been placed accordingly into the movie clip - and yet the dynamic text boxes will not populate with the score like they do outside the movie clip.
Worst still, the print button wont work at all inside the movie clip. Clearly I'm missing something, but I can't be that far off base in thinking this would work, am I? If I can make the movie clip show the results and work the print button, then I can use instances of the movie clip in as many frames as I need, but the only place the script or label for the print button will exist, is inside the movie clip. This is the script for the button putting the data into the text fields.
i have a flash video called abc.swf that i would like to play when a user first registers to our website. however, if the user does not have flash, i need it to tell them that in an easy way.
for this reason, i am trying to tell them how to download flash with the following html:
i have created a page in flash with input text field and a toggle button which implies full screen mode as well as normal mode by including the below script. stage.display = "fullscreen".
Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of fullscreen mode Is there any solution to enable the keyboad inputs.
I'm writing a movie scene in AS3, and I hit a snag. I have a movie where the dialogue is advanced by the user pressing a button (the space bar). I have a speak function which prints out the dialogue to a dynamic text box. However, if I type in this:
speak(1, "Hello world!"); speak(2, "Hello back to you as well.");
Then, my first speak function is immediately overwritten by my second one...because they run at the same time. I'm not using the timeline so, I can't put a stop() function in or anything. I'm doing it all in ActionScript.
Is there a way to pause the movie and wait for the user to press the spacebar before loading up the second function. I was thinking of nesting functions to do it, but that seems overly complicated since I'll have nearly 20 lines of dialogue nested within one another in between moving my sprites around.
I am trying to make a generic multiple choice quiz, with questions to be loaded from an xml file. The hope is that I can give it to teaching colleagues as a resource, and they can create their own questions by just altering the xml file, as none of them know how to use flash. I can make all of it work beautifully for just one xml file's worth of questions, but I'd like to enable people to save several different xml files with different questions, and choose which one to use in the first frame of my swf. Here's what I have in the first frame, where there is simply a text input box (inputxml) and a 'Go' button.
I'm creating a simple flash movie that will allow me to setup an aim away message from the desktop or merely a web page, the code used is as follows:
aim:goaway?message=Message+Here+Go+to+aimisland.co m
s you can see there is a + after every word and the text is after Message+. I need to know how to get text which is entered into a text box to be inserted into the above code to complete the link.
