ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Keyboard.ENTER In Text Field?
Aug 7, 2009
I'm having troubles with textfields. I have numerous textfields on the stage but it's happening to all so I'll just describe one.Lets say I have an input textField named that I restrict to allow only numbers 0-9:inputText_txt.restrict="0-9";That all works fine.THE PROBLEM:When I select the field (which initial value is set to "0") and hit delete it clears the field and if I press ENTER it will accept that as a value.I've tried this code to say if it equals " " then to not save the file....
I have a input textfield 200x150 where customers can write their address.
Problem: Address is written like: Avenida de presidente Calle no 2
How can the line break be recognized in the Text field, so the text arrives in the format as written? The text field also has a >restrict<, it does not allow
The input fields are a 'Classic Text' input field, and part of a Flash app I made last year for a client. The Flash was made with Flash CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.4, and was published last year and has been working all year.At some point recently I upgraded to Flash CS5 (this time on a PC), and I also had to re-compile the Flash app for a miscellaneous reason (a new image in the app). I left the publish settings alone (Flash 9, AS3) and re-published the Flash and put it up live. As far as I can tell everything was fine.Now the client is coming to me saying they can't enter numbers on the input fields, only letters !!!Aside from the transition to CS5, or an upgrade in Flash Player in the browser, I can't think of what else would cause a problem.
In troubleshooting this, I did notice for the first time the feature of 'TLF Text'. I have never used it, but when I copy the form MC to a test file and run it with TLF fields, they accept all characters including numbers. When I switch a field back to Classic Text, I can no longer enter numbers.
I have taken over an old project of a registration page after a short quiz and for some reason it is not possible to enter special characters in the text input field. example: @ but it is also not possible to enter a y or a capital W and some others. I have not found any thread or google infos on this problem and am short of reprogramming the whole thing in as3 which is very tedious because the whole site is still running as2 and we do not have time nor money to update.
using buttons to enter digits into a dynamic text field. An example would be an atm machine, where you select digits 0 - 9, you can hit OK or Cancel to clear the field. I can use...
on (release) { AddDigit("1"); }
...to enter the individual digits.Things that I am unclear about:
(1) How do I link the various buttons to the specific text field.
(2) How do I create the OK button to initiate another action, such as playing a movieclip etc.
(3) How do I cancel the items currently in the field.
I have looked over various tutorials on making calculators, but it is very complex for my skill level.
i would like to write with one onscreen keyboard on two different text field The way that I have now has two keyboard and the text filed is hardwired on the buttons
Code: function btna(){root.readMessages.aTextFild.text += "a";} this is not efficient.
I have a search box in my flash file and I'm trying to have it execute a getURL() when the enter key is pressed inside the text field, but nothing is happening. Can someone let me know what the issue is?
If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?
When using a notebook and I have remarked that I cannot enter numerical character with shift + a letter to enter number.Is this a bug in flash ? How to circumvent this ?
I have a button on the stage called enterCostBtn that when it is pressed it executes the code inside the calculateCost function. What I want to do is to be able to use the ENTER key on my keyboard to trigger that function. In other words I would like to be able to use the ENTER key or click directly on the enterCostBtn to trigger this function.
Code: enterCostBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,calculateCost,false,0,true); function calculateCost(event:MouseEvent):void { var material:Number=Number(Material_txt.text); var labor:Number=Number(Labor_txt.text);
I have a button object, I want to be able to control with the ENTER/RETURN key on the keyboard so when ever I press the ENTER key, the button object goes into onPress stage.
I have a keyboard.enter working in my flash movie, meaning when i hit the ENTER key my listener function is fired. But when i switch to fullscreen mode the Keyboar.enter event is not captured by my listener anymore.
I have the follwoing code to control a Flash-based presentation but BACKSPACE and ENTER lkey are not working. I am puzzled. PD: All the rest of the keys works fine.
I know how to enter information into a field using a button or an event, but I can't find any material on how to do it with the enter key. I want it so you can just enter something into an input field and press enter, instead of using a button.
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
For an input field - i need to have some action when user enters something in the input field and hit ENTER.I am using this: but with this user can hit enter anywhere on the screen and get the action- i need to have it only when user selects the input field.
Code: myNewObject = new Object(); myNewObject.onKeyDown = function() {[code]...
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
How can I have an input textfield and when you type something and then press "ENTER" on the keyboard something happens? Just need to know how to make an enter listener!
I am putting together an office space calculator. I have several text fields that will be added together to give a "Total" answer. I do not want users to have to enter text into every field. For instance, a section of the calculator will calculate "Coffee Area" space. If there is no "coffee area" in their office, this text input is useless and needs no input. However, I noticed that empty text fields return a NaN in my Total field. Obviously, this will not do. I worked out a script like such to fix that:
I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.
I've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field. But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
I'm trying to prevent keyboard show when I click Textinput field on my device. I use Textinput only to show some text and for click event (to push a view).
I have created an input textbox and a dynamic textbox. My idea is to enter something into the input textbox, and on pressing ENTER key it would show up in the dynamic textbox. When I press ENTER, the text dissapears from the input txt, and nothing happens.
