ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Disable Key Input
Aug 4, 2011
I'm working on homework for my scripting class and having some issue with keyboard input (trouble finding advice on anything involving keyboard input as well). The set up is that a function can be called by either clicking a button or using a key (spacebar in this instance). When this is done via the mouse and the button it prevents the function from working again until the "bullet" goes so far off screen.The problem comes from being unable to figure out how to also disable input from the keyboard, or spacebar specifically, to also put that pause inbetween the shots.Quote:
function firingFunction() {
// mark start time
var lastTime:int = getTimer();
[code].......

I saw vinayak.kadam advising someone if they wanted to disable an input box they could do this...
Code:
instanceName_txt.type = "dynamic";
But I want to access my text field through an array...
Code:
lockArr = [box1.lock1,box2.lock1,box3.... etc etc // instance names of button clips
tArr = [box1.field1,box2.field1,box3.... etc etc // instance names of input text field clips
for(var n=0;n!=lockArr.length;n++){
[code]...
so If can I not set the type property of a text field if I'm referencing it through an array?

I currently have a button which checks to see if the values of text boxes are correct before displaying a tick or a cross to indicate this.I want to disable the input text boxes so no data can be written into them once they are correct...So my code so far within the button:
on (release) {
if (input1 == "140" && input2 == "180" && input3 == "140" && input4 == "180" && input5 ==
"640") { //if these values are entered in the input boxes <input1> etc.

I'm doing a presentation flash and in my presentation, I don't want to show my mouse movement.
I have a text input box for me to enter text. The text box property is set to dynamic.
I have create a keylistener for me to press "I" or "i" and when I press "I", I want my text input box to enable me to type text in.
How can I code in AS to achieve this action?
Initial state of text input box is disabled, when I press "I" or "i" text input enabled and I can type in text. After that, I press another key, will disable the typing of text again.

I have a DateField component in Flex and I want to stop any user input. If I set the editable to "false" then it stops users changed the bits of the DateField box. It does NOT however stop them from clicking on the calendar icon next to it and updating the date. Is it possible to disable this? I basically want the component to be read only under some circumstances but not for it to have any alpha overlay. Therefore I want to use editable rather than enabled.

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.

{
//do something;

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..?

I got an input function in witch i set all the variable i want to display. To make it clean i would like to input any number of vars without having to change my input function to avoid the "Expecting more/less arguments". Then i would like to get any type of var (bool num int ....) in the input and then check their type, instead of declaring the first input var being exclusively a number for example. Is that possible and how, don't know if i was clear,

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:
