I am making a simple contact form in as3, but I am having problems formating it. As soon as I use a FocusEvent, as below, it completely ignores the formating which I set?
[AS]private function onFocus(evt:FocusEvent):void
{
if(evt.target.text == "Enter here.") {
[code].....
I am trying to create a TextField, set its type property to "input," set its format via the TextFormat object, and allow the user to add a label to a movieclip.
Assume you have a button named b_add, and you assign it this code on the main timeline:
Code:
_root.b_add.onRelease = function () {_root.createTextField("myLabel", 10, -38, -15, 76, 29.7);
_root.myLabel.type = "input";
_root.myLabel.text = "insert label";
_root.myLabel.wordWrap = true;
[Code]...
The TextField that gets created loses all of its formatting once the user starts typing. It reverts to Time New Roman and doesn't wrap. Do I have something out of order? Should I approach the problem with another solution?
I have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.
the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:
Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"
then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.
I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.
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:
[Code].....
Forgive me if this is an obvious one but it has me a bit confused. I have the following sample:
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
[code].....
I'm trying to code a drop-down control in as3, where clicking on the control's 'top-text' (a Sprite) causes a box to appear (another Sprite). The box contains a list of all items that may be selected. When 'item1' is selected the box closes and item1-text becomes the control's top-text. And so on.I also want the box to automatically close when the control loses focus, i.e. when the user clicks anywhere else on the flash movie. For this, I add an event listener on the box for FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT.
The thing is, I want different processing to take place depending on the FocusEvent's relatedObject. To be more precise I want to do something more than just closing in the specific case where relatedObject is a child of the drop-down control itself. And just close it if not.My problem is that the relatedObject property is always coming up null no matter what gains focus. Furthermore the isRelatedObjectInaccessible property is always false so (according to the documentation) it is not a security related problem.
I have a series of dynamic textfields added to the stage via this code:
ActionScript Code:
function addTextfields(){
initTextfields++;
var question:TextField = new TextField();...
question.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
quesTextArray.push(question);
addChild(question);
question.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, handleFocusIn);
question.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, handleFocusOut);
}
Using FocusEvent, I want to add a UIScrollbar to that event.target TextField. Here's what I have (that's not working):
ActionScript Code:
function handleFocusIn(event:FocusEvent):void{
var mySb:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();
mySb.direction = "vertical";
mySb.setSize(20, event.target.height);
mySb.move(event.target.width+event.target.x, event.target.y);
addChild(mySb);
trace(event.target);
mySb.scrollTarget = event.target;
}
My dilemma is with scrollTarget, I'm not sure what the actual target should be. I thought event.target would do the trick but I get a 1118: Implicit coercion error. When I trace event.target I get [object TextField] so I thought that's all I would need to do.

I want the font size of a dynamic text box to change according to the number of characters of the input text. The user types in whatever (up to 50 characters long), then hits an update button to see it in the dynamic text box. But since the dynamic text can only be a single line within a defined area with no horizontal scrolling.
Here's the code I'm having a problem with:
Code:
updateBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, updateIt);
inputText.maxChars = 50;
function updateIt(event:MouseEvent):void{

This is not styling my text. What am I doing wrong?
this.textScroll.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 255, 200);

textScroll.my_txt.html = true;

I am basically creating a new text field for every number, i though 10. And I want to apply Text format to each and every text field so that I can tell it which font I want to use and yada yada.

I'm not sure if I should format all the text using Stylesheets or Textformat.

View 2 Repliesthe 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 have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)
View 3 RepliesI've been struggling with this problem for a while:I have a string containing HTML and I'm using a regular expression to get the characters between the tags. I'm then attempting to apply a TextFormat to those characters.The problem is that I'm using the TextField's "htmlText" property instead of it's "text" property (because I don't want the HTML tags to be visible). So, the character index that's returned from the regular expression is incorrect, when I apply the TextFormat.Here is some sample code which illustrates the problem:
var txt:String = "<b>Sample</b> string with bold text";
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tf);

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.
View 3 Repliesi 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.

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..?
