I have an input text box where users enter search words and whenever you hit enter it clears the contents.This is obvioulsy annoying as users would expect to hit enter after they have typed the word(s) and have the search performed, not have what they typed removed.How do I stop this?How do I assign the event listener I have on my submit button to the enter key as well?
View 1 RepliesI was attempting to create a text box with a submit button, where, when the text box first appears, there is text inside the box itself, for example, "enter answer here". However, I would like to have the ability to automatically clear that text when the user clicks on the text box, rather than forcing them to clear it.I found this thread which seems like it should work, using FocusEvent http:[url]...... However,when I entered that into my code using the name of my own text field, neither of the functions is ever triggered by clicking on and then off the text box.I even entered a trace to make certain, and it isn't.Am I missing some key point?
View 2 RepliesI have created an input textbox and a dynamic textbox. My idea is to enter something into the input textbox, and on pressing ENTER key it would show up in the dynamic textbox. When I press ENTER, the text dissapears from the input txt, and nothing happens.

I have a simple input text box that has some text pre entered into it eg Put your email address here.Now when the user clicks into this box I would obviously like to clear that.
View 1 RepliesIt is all working fine, except I cannot work out the code i need for the 'CE' or clear button. I want it to just clear the input fields ready for new data.I'm new here so don't know if theres a way I can send you the FLA, but the script is:
/* Calculator program, reads text from input (and validates text fields) and uses math class to display text at runtime
*/

Usually my input-text-box works great but sometimes my input-text-box will not allow people to type into it - and the only thing that will fix it is clearing the cache.But users will not clear their cache, they will just leave my site.There is a lot more animation in the .swf than I usually put in it but it's optimized. Perhaps the Flash player is choking on the animation?
View 4 RepliesIf I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?
View 7 RepliesSo, I'm trying to call the function with the enter key. The function is to examine text inputted in an input text box then return "good job"(if the text was correct) or "try again" (if not) in a dynamic text box.
The problem I have is it returns "try again" as soon as I start typing. Anyway to resolve this?
Here is the code
ActionScript Code:
txtyour.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, textHandler);
function textHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER && txtyour.text == "your") {

i have input text box i want user can enter only number between 0 to 255. if tries to enter greater number thar 255 then it show previous one e.g user entert 64 and then 6, in that case only 64 shown in text box .
View 4 RepliesI tried to create a input text that asks the user to enter a value then i wanted that value to be compared with another var by an if statement but when it gets to that part it always goes to the else condition. I did check the values by making the flash view, they are the same but its still not running as i want it to.
anyways ill leave you with the code :
variables:
btn: a button i created
maq: an empty string that stores the value of the input text
GPA.text: name of the input text
V3: is just a dynamic text to let me know if the condition is met or not
Code:
stop();
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,checker);
function checker(Event:MouseEvent):void
[Code]...
When the user hits enter, their input is to be compared to an existing input, then stored if there is no match. The problem is, the file is storing the "enter" key as well, so the database input looks like this:
word/r
instead of just
word
Code:
//user presses enter to enter their tag
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkTag);
function checkTag(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {

I'm pretty new to AS 3. I've been tasked with converting an online calculator from AS2 to AS3 and am having trouble figuring out how to get one of the functions to work. There are several input fields, restricted to numbers, which are ordered by tabIndex. When you enter a value and hit the 'Enter' key, it deletes the numbers the user just typed and focuses in on the now blank text field. What I need it to do is focus on the text field, and instead of deleting the text, select it.
Code:
txt1.tabIndex = 1;
txt2.tabIndex = 2;
txt3.tabIndex = 3;
txt4.tabIndex = 4;
txt5.tabIndex = 5;
[Code] .....
I want to catch the enter key press when the user is filling an input text field in AS3.I think I have to do something like this:
nputText.addEventListener(Event. ? , func);
function func(e:Event):void{
if(e. ? == "Enter"){

I have taken over an old project of a registration page after a short quiz and for some reason it is not possible to enter special characters in the text input field. example: @ but it is also not possible to enter a y or a capital W and some others. I have not found any thread or google infos on this problem and am short of reprogramming the whole thing in as3 which is very tedious because the whole site is still running as2 and we do not have time nor money to update.
View 2 RepliesI am making a little banner for my site that makes different offers based on geo location (zipcode). I have the code working pretty much except for a few elements I want.
1) I want the input box to say "Enter Zip Code" until the user clicks on the input box. Then it clears out and the user can enter their zip code. The text box at this point should only take in 5 digits and no more.
2) Instead of having to click on the button to submit the form I want the user to also have an option just press enter when they are on the input text field and it process the form.
I am using Flash CS5 with AS2
This is the code I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
Code:
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
trace('this is the begining of the code');
var nameText:String = "Zip Code";

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:

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 need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.

View 6 RepliesI am working with the new tfl text fields in Flash 10, and have realized that I cannot completely clear the text field from script.
using classic text, I could do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = "";
however, with tfl text, that does not clear the field and returns no errors. What does work is using a space:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = " ";
But that wont work for what Im doing because it is a text entry box, and I need there to be no leading characters when a user starts to type.
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.

I'm creating a dashboard with a lot of buttons that will display pieces of text from an XML file. The trouble is, I can't figure out how to clear the text from a field once it is displayed. If I push another button, the new data will replace the old data, but if the new button is display a smaller data set, it will only replace some of the former data set and the rest stays displayed. Does that make sense? I found some code that clears the text fields, but I don't know where to put it:
