I have an input text box that outputs a message to an ecard within the same flash file. I would like the user to be able to preview the card containing their message and then have the option to edit their message if they wish. Sounds as simple as going back to the frame containing the input text box and editing the message, but when I go back the input box is empty.
I have tried continuing the input box frames and action script throughout to see if the text is retained (hidden behind the actual card). It is until I try to go back and edit. Again the text box is empty.
When I test my Actionscript 3 flash program on my computer, there's nothing wrong. But when I transfer it to my iPhone and I click on the text I want to edit, I can edit it, but the characters grow bigger than they actually are while editing. When I stop editing, the font gets back to the original size. How can I keep the font from growing when I edit it?
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'm trying to extend the text input that comes in flex to support an icon, just like mac os x search text input has a grey circle aligned to the right, the text input has a addChild method, but it didn't work for me.
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 {
I'm using a program called SWFText, which basically helps you create a flash animation to a text without knowing a "thing" about flash.And it outputs a .swf file without a .fla file. I want to use this .swf in my website, but I also want to edit the text in it according to my guests name.For instance, I created a .swf from swftext with the string "Docent" and embed it to my html code. but i don't want to display docent when josh enters to the site. I want basically delete "Docent" out and write "josh" instead.
I want to copy some text to edit in the same style and size etc, however when I do change the wording, it changes the original too. How can I do this so only the copy changes when editing?
i have a weird problem with editing text in flash 8:i can only use the "solid" option in the color mixer window when i choose any text, every time i try to change it to the any other of the "types"(linear,bitmac etc) it just wont change and stay on "solid", i cant use gradients as well..
Without getting too complicated, imagine just a simple Static textField you created in flash and you filled it in with a paragraph of text.
Code: simpleText.text = "here is my paragraph and this is fun and the dog ran far but it did not eat the paper with the paragraph and run-on sentences are nice! What if I did not want the word "paragraph" to show up within the textField? What is the easiest way to search for the word "paragraph" and to simply remove it? Would it be to change it to a String, and then search the string, and then remove it, and then convert it back to a textField?
I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
i created an input text box that puts the users input into a global variable, but when i test it it gives me not only what i have typed in but all the html formatting for the font that my input text box has on it.I only want the text that i have typed in to go into the variable but the wackload of html is going in there too. ive tried a few different things, rewriting my code, recreating the text box, changing settings, dont know what im missing.
I'm trying to build a fahrenheit to celsius convertor in AS3. How can I test to see whether what is input into a text input box (flash component) is not a number? This isn't correct but you can get an idea of what i'm trying to do:
if (celsius_txt.text == NaN || fahrenheit_txt.text == NaN) { //do something; }
i have an one input text box, first i type text into it and press space bar at this it will become empty and ready to accept next input from starting position, i make the text box empty by
textbox.text = "";
but the cursor not set to initial position in text box it consider "" as "space" and cursor will display after one space only, i need that cursor again move to starting position..
What's the best way to enable a client to edit text in a Flash-only site? I'm not talking about throughout the site, just selected text blocks. I could easily fill them from XML files and provide a file upload facility, but most clients will want something more friendly. I could copy the text to a TextArea for editing within the site and update the text from that but I think I'd end up writing my own wordprocessing software to make it look friendly. What do others do? I don't want to re-invent the wheel!
This is a custom flash template I downloaded, when you watch/use the template you can see about me, and all the text in it, however when I attempt to edit it to my specs, I see the frame where it is located, but I cannot edit any text, because I can't SEE any text!!So basically, in editing mode, I don't see any text to edit, but when using the template, I see a lot of info... I have no idea what to do, and please keep in mind I am in no means a professional, or even intermediately good with Flash...
I am just starting to use the TextArea component in Flash CS3. How do I change the font size, style, and color of the text within the textarea? Can I also change the textarea background color from white to something else?
I have a flash file and I have the dynamic text with the variable name 'Text1' I want to be able to edit this piece of text by linking the flash file to a php file - but I know nothing about php and therefore I don't know what coding to use in flash to link to php. All I need is a basic bit of coding which would be able to put in php so that one bit can be edited so that it will be edited in the swf.
Using AS3 to create a basic number guessing game but for some reason the input text field won't accept text input. I can't figure out which piece of code is causing the problem and it's driving me nuts considering it's from a tutorial.
This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?
Is it possible to edit the text of an embedded video in Flash? What I mean to say I have embedded one video with Flash video encoder into my fla and the video has some text which now I want to edit as per my choice.
I'm creating a Flash presentation, and the user wants to be able to change the text on any screen from Flash itself. This was my original my idea (I don't have much experience in AS):
1 - Put all the text in a text file (XML or plain). 2 - Make AS read the text and fill in the text fields in the Flash presentation. 3 - When it's needed to change the text content, execute the Flash presentation with a parameter that will tell AS to show all the fields as INPUT. 4 - Save the new text in the text file via PHP.
But I have been asked if it would be possible to avoid the use of a text file (and the server connection with PHP) and change the swf text content directly with AS. Is this possible? I have been googling it but with no success. I have the idea that this wouldn't be possible but i don't know all the possibilites in the Flash environment.
I'm edit a flash file that uses about 11 different fonts. When I toss it into the editor and publish it some characters are missing from the product, such as W's and M's. I've installed the fonts that were included with the flash file into windows7.
I am inputting text from an xml file into dynamic text boxes; I have static text boxes as titles of each.
making the dynamic text boxes expand if the xml text is of a larger size & moving the static text boxes so they don't start getting over written.
The code Ive used to put the text into the dynamic boxes is very simple:
var xmlData:XML = new XML ();var theURL_ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml");var loader_ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(theURL_ur);loader_ul.addEventListener("complete", fileLoaded);
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.
