I need some way when introducing the text in the TextInput, activate the button when the text in the TextInput not, the field is empty, the button becomes inactive, as it can be implemented?
View 6 RepliesIn Flex 4, I am trying to make a simple browse button update the text field of an TextInput object with the file name that the browse button gets. It doesn't have to be the full path, all I want is the file name to show up. It only shows up after hitting the browse button for a second time, not after I have selected my file the first time. Here is my code:
import flash.net.FileReference;
private var fileReferencer:FileReference = new FileReference();
private var excelFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("*.xlsx", "*.xlsx;*.xls;");
protected var fileName:String = new String("");
[Code]....
So to recap, the file name is only shown in my TextInput box upon hitting the browse button a second time.

import fl.controls.Button;

I need to access the combobox child (textinput and button) without creating a customize component. I know the best practice is to create a custom component but still need to access the combobox child like textinput and listen for their event.
View 2 RepliesIt looks like the default font formatting for the textInput is a bit off. The margin at the top is less than at the bottom.I've tried the setTextFormat, with defaultTextFormat and setTextFormat but it's not doing the trick.
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.size = 16;
_autoComplete.textField.defaultTextFormat = tf;
_autoComplete.textField.setTextFormat(tf);
I'm using Astra's autoComplete, but I don't think this is restricting it, though there is a slight chance that the field has an override.
I have an issue with applying backgroundColor to a TextInput component in Flash. I have a MoveClip called LastLayer; in that Layer i designed the TextInput by using components.Now I want to add the background color for the TexInput. How can i add the background color? txtUser is the instance name for my TextInput component. I tried this code, but it does not work:
txtUser.setStyle("backgroundColor", "#000000"));
I have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.

Design a Text Input by using components in flash and its InstanceName is listChat.In that text input i added a text by Dynamically.while am adding text it displays with null.
For Example i added "apple" it Displays like nullapple
how to remove that null ?
I have a textInput field form that's not displaying the characters it should when typed into. E.g. when the letter "¦" on my keybard is pressed "¾" shows up. This only happens once the flash movie is being displayed in a browser (that is embedded in html), preview through flash does not have this problem. The font is properly embedded as "nameInp.text = shows the correct text in the textInput. It is only when I try to type when it doesn't work as it should. I have Window mode set to window and I've tried setting "System.useCodePage = true;"
View 2 RepliesI have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):

This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage). I am rather confused as to why it's not picking this up and am not sure how I set it to do so, i would be immensely grateful if someone could point me in the right direction?
How to "setStyle" and "disable focus" (remove the default blue line rectangle when focus) for "ALL" AS3 TextInput components?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a small piece of Actionscript that gives focus to a TextInput. The reason being, I don't want my user to have to click into the text field to see the cursor and start typing, it should just already be there.
View 1 RepliesFor example <s:TextInput id="sd" text="{if () {0} else if() {1} else {2}}"/>
Is it possible to do something like that?
I'm having trouble setting the color of the text of a TextInput component. I know there is a TextField within it, I'm trying several methods, but none works:

I am a Flex newbie and I am testing a little application that simulates a cart. (It is based on a nice sample by Farata Systems' Yakov Fain).Note: I am using the beta of Flash Builder 4 to code the application.Here you have a link to the screenshot:Screenshot(Sorry I can't insert the image of the screenshot right here since stackoverflow doesn't allow new users to use image tags.)The application is very simple. You type a product in the TextInput control and then click on the "Add to cart" button to add it to the "cart" which is represented by the TextArea at the bottom.
That works ok.The problem is that I also want the user to be able to keep adding items to the cart without having to click on the "Add to cart" button. So, I added code to handle the enter event of the Textput by calling the same handler function triggered by the "Add to cart" Click event.If you type some content and then click the "Add to cart" button, the TextInput control receives the focus and the cursor, so you can type again.
However, if you hit enter, instead of clicking the button, the TextInput control keeps focused and you can see the cursor beam, but you can not enter text until you click elsewhere and come back to the control.Below you can see the relevant part of the code, with the definition of the component that groups the three controls at the top (Label, TextInput, Button).

View 1 RepliesI want to take data from TextInput box and hold it in a varaible "X" Is there any tutorial I can use to help me?
View 2 RepliesFirstly, I have searched the forum for related topics and found 2. I have tried to make sense of the code involved to make it work with my current project but nothing works.
As the title says, I require a string to be given the value from a textinput. As this was not working in my main project I created another simple AS3 file.
The user should just type in their name in scene 1. By pressing a button I trace the variable as a test and on scene 2 I should see the users name, but no.
I have added a TextInput component to my movie and named the instance "fname".I use the following simple code...
fname.text = "test";
Problem is that once the text is set using AS2.0 it becomes un-editable and a user cannot change it.
I want to change the text of a TextInput using its name for example.
("name1").text = "123"
or is it possible to create an array of components?:
txt[0].text = "123"
I want to change the text of a TextInput using its name for example.
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
("name"+i).text = "123"
}

I have been developing an application for the past couple of weeks and as of yesterday all of the textinputs have become uneditable. It seems like when you click on one it switches between the focusIn state and then back to the focusOut state.
View 2 RepliesIf I drag a textInput from a component and drop it near the end of the another component, the textInput goes outside of the dropZone.

I have a login form with various textInputs and a submit button. If you submit proper login credentials the system unloads the login view and loads the app view. Pretty standard. Unfortunately I've noticed this weird bug where if you hover over one of the textInput boxes with the mouse, then fill the form using only the keyboard (and leave the mouse parked on top of the textInput), and then tab to the submit button and press the space bar, i.e. login via keyboard, the mouse cursor will remain a caret in the new view, no matter what you do (move, click), until you find another textInput to undo the cursor state. I've tried to do all sorts of stuff via CursorManager but nothing seems to do the trick. I've tried dispatching events ROLL_OUT or MOUSE_OUT events to the textInput but that doesn't do the trick either.
View 2 RepliesI have migrated my app from Flex 4.5.1 to Flex 4.6 and the TextInput click event was broken so I do this « skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" » (like was suggest here [URL]..and all seems work (tested in my Android and seems ok) but one user with iOS 5.1 complained that now the keyboard dont popup ?
Also complained for the TextArea that I dont have code in my extended component but also use the skin spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin so the layout became similiar in my textinputs.

When a person writes his/hers name in a textinput, I want to have a script in the "on (focusOut)" that selects the initials of the person and puts them in the variable "initials".Is it do-able? Let's say the person is called "John Doe". Then the value of "initials" would be "JD".It must also work on names like "John von Doe" (the initials would still be JD and not JvD).
