View 1 RepliesI 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)
fm.deactivate()

I have a swf that is having problems only when I load a movie.[code]I noticed that the movie does not run right only when the cursor is still bliking in the input text field. I will input text in the input field but the cursor continues to remain in the field even after clicking the "someButton".[code]but is still has a problem. The problem being that when I click another button in the program, sometimes it will not work and othertimes it will.When I remove the input field and hard code the import the loadmovie it works fine.
View 6 RepliesIs there an autofocus for a input text field box..like when u load the swf its already focused?
Also is there like a autoscroll like when a Dynamic text Field gets too full it just shifts down?
I'm in and out of AS2 and it's been awhile.if this is possible to reliably create this state for an Input text field.Ideally the text area has some text in it as a prompt tot he user, and the cursor is blinking at the end of the prompt text. When the user clicks on the box, it resets to empty content and the user can type their question.I have the text area set up with prompt text, instance name. Tried this code and it does not work:[code]Right now when i click on it, the text prompt text remains and the cursor shows one line below the prompt text.

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.
I have an input text field that is named in the properties box as 'numberOfKids'. When the program is executed, and a delete or backspace is pressed the input textfield goes blank and any calculations that use 'numberOfKids' shows NaN.I have trapped the NaN and undefined so that a numeric 0 shows up instead of a blank.
First problem: The cursor is to the left of the zero, so the first number inputted by the user is 10x larger than what they want. 0 becomes 10. How do I get the cursor to move to the right of the 0?
Second Problem: When I manually move the cursor to the right of the 0 and input a number, say 4, it shows up as 04. How do I delete the leading numeric zero in the input textfield?
Here's the code I am using:
calculateChildWeight = function () { if (isNaN(numberOfKids)) { numberOfKids = 0; } if ((numberOfKids) == undefined) { numberOfKids = 0; } if (numberOfKids>=0 && numberOfKids<=137) { numberOfKids = numberOfKids; } else { numberOfKids = 0; } if (isNaN(adjustedChildWeight)) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } if ((adjustedChildWeight)=undefined) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } adjustedChildWeight = Number(numberOfKids*(-100)); //numberOfKids.setSelection(numberOfKids.length, numberOfKids.length); //if (numberOfKids.length=2 && numberOfKids<10) { // remove the first character or leading zero// numberOfKids = numberOfKids;// }};
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..
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to put the text back into a text field on FOCUS_OUT one character at a time. On FOCUS_IN, I want to remove the text one character at a time.
Here's the basic code:
major.text = "ActionScript 3.0";
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, inFocus);
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, outFocus);
function inFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="";// want to clear the text one character at a time
} function outFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="ActionScript 3.0"; // want to put the text back in one character at a time
}
I attached a fla. that does this in ActionScript 2.0, but I'm trying to do this in ActionScript 3.0.
how to set focus to a text field when the MC is pulled up?
Basically, I have a button that loads an MC onto the stage (so within an MC in the base MC). When the new MC loads it contains a text field. I want the user to be able to start typing without having to click in the text field first.
I need to select an input text box on keypress, as the mouse will be busy. Ive had a look and found setfocus, but everything i try tells me There is no method with the name 'setfocus'. So somethin along the lines of

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.
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.
Code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;

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.

So when movie is loaded the "name" text field is in focus and user can just simple type in the info without having to click in the text field first.

ActionScript Code:

The problem that I am having, is that when I click on the text field, it is also clicking on the stage for some reason, so now I can't gain focus to the text field when it is clicked.
I have two text input boxes p1 and p2. I want to do a conditional test to see if p1 has the focus. If it does not, then p2 must have the focus. Here is some code I am trying to get to work.
if ((Selection.getFocus()) == (p1totalScore.text)){
p1Score();
} p2Score();

when i have this line active(the red one) it gives me automatic focus, so no clicking to be able to detect key input so i got that going for me which is nice BUT when i have it active(not commented out) i get this big yellow line which goes away when i click it(seeBelow)
I want to have the caret (flashing cursor) to appear when I set the focus to a text field. It works fine when the user clicks on the text field.
the following does not seem to work for me:
Code:
stage.focus = mytxtfield
mytxtfield.setSelection(mytxtfield.text.length,mytxtfield.text.length);
When I try this it merely focuses on my text field and no caret comes up! mytxtfield is the instance name of my input type textfield.
I'd like to set up my splash page (all Flash) so that the login form is ready and waiting for input, without the user having to move the pointer to the first input text field and then click it.
