ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Input Text Form - Use Tab And Arrow Keys To Change Focus

Sep 11, 2010

I've got a form that the user enters numeric values in to a series of text Input fields. I want to allow the user to use the arrow keys in addition to the tab keys to control the active focus of the fields.

I set up a 2D array with the names of the input fields as values. I'm trying to call the name of the input field from the array and then assigning the focus, but I'm getting Error 1067 implicit coercion errors.

stage.focus=nextCellName;
stage.focus=prevCellName;

Code:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

[Code].....

ActionScript 1/2 :: Use Arrow Keys To Change An Object's Facing

Aug 5, 2010

I have a MC that can be moved around with the arrow keys. When a person presses the left key I want the object to face left and perform an animation for as long as the left key is pressed. When the left key is released I want the animation to go back to it's starting frame but the MC should still be facing left. I want the same thing for the other arrow keys, but the animations will be different for each direction (for example: walk right, walk left, walk away from you, walk towards you).

F8 :: Cursor Keys To Change Button Focus?

Nov 18, 2006

I'm trying to create a fairly simple interface where the user can theoretically move up and down four vertical menu buttons with the cursor keys, selecting the option they prefer with the enter key. Obviously this requires focusing on a different button every time they move up or down, but I'm damned if I can figure out how to do this

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Adding Focus Listener To An Input Text Field

Apr 5, 2011

I'm trying to use the following code to add a listener to a text field which clears the field, but I'm getting the error: "Parameter Listener Must be Non-Null" This is the code I'm using:

[Code]...

I should add that this text fields starts out on stage as a dynamic text field. In the code above I am changing its type to input, so that might affect things. I am trying to set up the field so that when a user clicks in the text field, a cursor movie clip appears, and the text that was in the field is erased, and that when they leave the text field and click elsewhere, the text is accepted, the textfield converts back to a dynamic field, essentially "locking" the entered text into the field.

Moving Cube With Arrow Keys In Flash CS4

Sep 13, 2009

I just made a new Flash project. It lets you move a Cube, with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Code:
function hearKey(yourEvent:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT){
cube_mc.x+=5 };
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT){ 
[Code] .....

It works perfectly fine, except for example: I press down the down key. It moves down (good so far). I keep pressing the down key down and also press the left key down. Now it moves left(not so good, I want it to move both left and down, how do I do that?) Now I release the left key but am still on the down key. Nothing happens....(I want it to then continue going down).

IE8 Flash Arrow Keys Scroll Screen

Mar 3, 2010

I've a flash games site, and Im having a lot of difficulties to make it show in internet explorer 8.When you are playing any flash, the arrow keys that should belong to the flash scroll the page up and down (probably left and right too). This was happening in both ie7 and ie8.I placed the flash inside an iframe, that fixed to IE7, but the problem persists on IE8.If I change the flash wmode from transparent to window, the page stops scrolling, but this breaks all my menus and banners, that get hidden behind the flash when they expand.How can I place a flash, with wmode transparent, and make arrow keys work in the expeted way in IE8?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Focus On Input Text?

Feb 12, 2011

I'm trying to give focus to a text input with instance name "input" so that when I run the movie, there is a blinking cursor where the input is so that the user has some visual cues. I also changed the background and made it only accept numbers. This code is in an init() method, which is run from the constructor

input.backgroundColor = 0xFFCCCCCC;
input.restrict = "0-9";
stage.focus = input;

The first two lines of this work fine, the background is grey and it only accepts numbers as expected, however the third line doesn't work. The input text is not given the focus. Once I click on the input text then I can see the blinking cursor. I also tried this.stage.focus=input;, but that didn't work either.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Focus From An Input Text Field?

Dec 5, 2009

I have a textfield and a button component.The problem is when the textfield is focused and i click anywhere on the stage it remains focused and no focusout event occurs. I know that it's because component classes implement IFocusManager(Component) interface and the TextField class does not .I do not want to create a new instance of FocusManager class or implement the IFocusManager interface in a custom class. Is there any way to disable the focusmanager ? The deactivate method does not seem to work in as3!

Code:
import fl.managers.FocusManager
var fm:FocusManager=new FocusManager(this)
