View 2 RepliesI'm hoping there is a relatively simple answer to this simple question. How can I set a textfield so that the cursor is in there automatically, without the user having to click on the textfield?

I have a menuBar that looks like this:
<mx:MenuBar id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label" cornerRadius="8" color="black" fillColors="[green, green]" itemClick="menuItemClickHandler(event);"
dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}" change="onTopSelection(event)" />
The XML for my menuBar looks like this:
<menuitem label="Vision">
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="About">

As you can see there is Vision and Contact Us but the eventHandler doesn't know when those two are clicked. What is the correct way to implement the eventHandler?
I want to be able to link an Action Script event to clicking text within a text box.The only thing I can see is to just create a basic Hyper Link, but not apply any action:I have been messing around for over an hour but just can't see a way to apply actionscript and all the tutorials on the internet seem to target ActionScript 3 or not do exactly what I want.The reason for this is that there is background music to the site and when YouTube is launched, it needs to be muted. I know the code to mute and have done this on custom objects before, but I can't see any way to apply script to a textbox hyperlink.Whilst I would ideally like to do it this way, I am happy to consider any solution resulting in opening a page and muting the site.To be honest, I tried doing a quick switch to AS3, but as there are so many problems that would need addressing, I would rather spend the time converting the site to HTML/Jquery or even Silverlight.
View 2 RepliesI have five piano key images (converted to movie clip symbols) on the screen, and each play a tone when clicked. I would like to program it so if you clicked the five keys in a specific order, it triggers an event. I suspect I have to use the array command, this is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
var noteArray:Array = new Array(note05_mc, note01_mc, note03_mc, note04_mc, note02_mc);
var buttonArray:Array = new Array();

Can we add evvent listener to a text field?Like when you click on the text field it calls a function?
View 1 Replieshow to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do the following without setting up an event listener for each textfield...
I have a bunch of input textfields on the stage (50+).
I want flash to gotoAndStop at frame 5 whenever ANY of the text fields have something typed in them.
Possible to do without setting up 50 event listeners? Is it possible to just set up one event listener that is trigerred when any input field on the stage is changed?
I have been reading for about an hour online with no solution, if you are typing in a text field, you seem to not be able to read if the "enter" key is pressed, exmaple attached.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a text effect using a custom class. The class receives refferences to the TextFields that I want to apply the effect to, an the effect should take place whenever the text is changed in these TextFields. The problem is that Flash doesn`t seem to provide a way of listening for the TextField.text event of a Dynamic TextField... Or does it? Just to clarify: On the stage I have a dynamic TextField named tText. I create a new instance of my class and call MyClass.addTarget = tText, which is supposed to tell my text effect class that it should apply the effect to tText, whenever the .text property changes.
PS: What I have tryied was TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, but apparently that`s for Input TextFields, whenever the user inputs some text. I change my text through code. I have also tryied Event.CHANGE, but that doesn`t seem to work either...

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to override the default focus event on the in-built TextField class? So for example when a textfield gains focus a custom event is triggered rather than the default one? I know we can use the onSetFocus event, however we have over 1200 swfs that use TextFields so want to do it on a global scope rather than having to modify each individual swf. that on an Android tablet selecting a TextField brings up the android keyboard that not only shrinks the flash content, but defaults to the alpha keyboard when all we want is numeric (it's a Maths app).

I am trying to add a listener to a textfield and determine when it is changed that a screen box behind the textfield is resized to fit.
I have tried:
ActionScript Code:

But this does not fire. I want to get the new height of the textfield box and set the screen behind it accordingly. What is the proper code for this?
I have a problem with a timer-controlled event. The animation breaks on half of its way - the tweened textfield gets pulled back only half the way as if the timer finished too fast. Here is my code:

var__autoToggleTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);
__autoToggleTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, autotoggleErrormessage);
__autoToggleTimer.start();
} function autotoggleErrormessage(e:TimerEvent):void {

View 4 RepliesWhen the user presses the mouse, and releases it over a static textfield with selectable text, no MOUSE_UP event is fired - not on the stage and also nowhere else.I experienced this when using a scrollbar class on a movieclip with a nested static textfield.When the user drags the scroll handle and releases the mouse over the textfield, the dragging/scrolling is stuck.To test this, create a new AS3 fla file, place a static textfield somewhere, and put in some text. Make sure the selectable property is checked in the properties panel.Add this script to the timeline:[code]Now test the movie and click the mouse. You will notice that trace('up') will not occur when you release the mouse over the textfield.

Textfields currently do not dispatch paste events. When the user is using keyboard shortcuts to paste, there's a way to workaround that shortcoming by listening to various keyboard events in the textfield. Is there a way to detect the paste event when it is originated from a click on the ContextMenu?
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure what the best practice is when attempting to "do something" with a form as a result of a user interaction - I'm certainly open to an alternative if it's the best practice.
There's an MXML event property called "enter" that applies to s:TextInput which calls an AS event handler when the user presses the Enter key within a TextInput field (imagine a Search field - you type in your search term and press Enter).
Now, within that event handler, I need to get at the parent Form object. Since we're talking best practices here, I'm not interested in referring to the Form by ID, in case my "enter" handler must be able to work with different forms.
My question is - what is the best way to get a handle on the event target's parent form in Flex? The parent-child hierarchy in Flex is absolutely ludicrous [code]...
The TextInput is initiating the event, and is the event.target. Following my MXML hierarchy, a logical chain might be event.target.parent.parent taking me from TextInput to FormItem to Form, but as you can see, the lovely skinnable Spark architecture puts all these other display objects and containers in-between.
I have editable grids which are 2-way binded to my model. What I want is to validate my data when user edits any cell before it get updated in model. I have applied my validation at ItemEditEnd handler, but, I want to apply validation in between itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd events.
