ActionScript 3.0 :: Using String In TextField To Work As Button?
Aug 7, 2009
Is there any way to have a text field and a particular string in that text field work like a button. For example if I have the following text placed in a textfield via mytextfield.text =
Code:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus sed sem neque, a dapibus velit. READ MORE, id feugiat est. Quisque bibendum cursus varius.
And I want to attach a listener for mouse over to the read more text but not any other part of the text is there any way to do that using htmltext.
Can buttons take variables? Right now I'm trying to pass a string into a buttons text field with: this.button_btn.one_txt.text = "hey"; It doesn't work, and the path is right? Is there something special I need to do?
I have a text field within Flash that contains a block of (obviously) text. What I want to do is perform a search on the content of the text field that returns the x & y coordinate and the width & height of the found text. The result will be used to place a visual element over that portion of the text box.
For example: var pattern:RegExp = /d+/g; var found:Array = box.text.match(pattern); var i:String; for each(i in found) { /** * Find the x, y, width, height of the matched text in the text field * Use result to place transparent yellow box around text */ } Which visually should result in something like:
I'm using loop to create 4 textfields, and push an string array with 4 items. I can trace the correct result in output but show on the stage. [code]...
i placed a movieclip with a textfield in it on the stage.i want to compare between the textfield.text value to a string' but always recieve a false value when i'm doing it.when i use trace:
I'm working on a gallery where I'm numbering the thumbnails with this.number.text = this.id+1; It works great and numbers them perfectly but on the initial movie clip for the thumbs there "nan" pops up in the text field. Is there a way to hide this?
Converting AS2 to AS3 , In my project I have an array that refers to a set of movieClips and textFields. I want to cycle trough the array and find out wether the string represents an movieClip or array.
PHP Code:
var changeFocusItems:Array = new Array();changeFocusItems.push("myMovieClip");changeFocusItems.push("myTextFieldOnStage");for each (var myItem:String in changeFocusItems) {if (myItem is
[Code].....
How do I recognise myItem string as a textField / movieClip?
I'd like to know if there is a way to reference a dynamic text box's instance name through the use of a string.I know that this["the string"] works for movieclips, but haven't had much luck with the text field.Here's a simplified snippet of code I have so far - The goal is to replace txtInstance with txtInstanceArray[k]
var txtInstanceArray:Array = ["txtInstance","txtInstance1","etc"]; var colArray:Array = ["hitsum","hitsum1","etc"]; for (var k:int = 0; k < 30; k++){
I want to split a string into its individual characters and then put them in movieclips so that they can be individually tweened.
i was thinking i could split() the string into an array and then create an array of movieclips, each movieclip containing the corresponding letter in the split() array. would this be a good way to resemble a textfield? im looking to do something like the effect here: [URL] i just don't feel like spending $99 to get the package.
If the word "book" is part of the text entered in the text field "mytextfield" the flash should do the action "GotoAndStop(2)". I tried this, but it didn't worked. Code: function search() { var box = this.mytextfield.text; trace(box); var str = box; if (var location == str.indexOf("book")) { GotoAndPlay(2) ; }
Given an array of strings, how would i get an array of different textfield Objects, labeled with that string? WITHOUT explicitly defining every single Object. My idea was to create an array with textfield objects, and then assign the strings in a loop. But how do I create such an array?
I'm testing the equality of an input textfield and a string variable. For some reason, it's always resolves to false even when the values it traces out are the same.[code]
I am building a project where I got XML text displayed on a textfield. How can I change a specific word's color through actionscript 3 instead of doing it on XML? I though of creating a String variable for my word and then using that variable in my textfield.text, it works but is it possible to set a color for that variable?
I am having problems getting a hand cursor to come up over a textField. I have verified the way I am doing it and everything looks ok, but no cursor. [code] My trace works and I am not throwing any errors. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
to restrict the maximum number of characters on a TextField by applying the maxChars to 30. This call exists before applying the html text to the TextField. For some reason nothing happens.textfield.maxChars = 30;var str:String = "<p><h3>Quisque id velit risus, vitae dictum sapien.</h3><p>Fusce aliquam nunc id risus lobortis in malesuada mi pellentesque. Suspendisse potenti.</p><br/><justify>Nulla facilisi. Maecenas bibendum tortor ac felis tristique eget suscipit enim dapibus. Curabitur ut eleifend purus. Sed elementum facilisis dui in dapibus.</justify></p>";textfield.htmlText = str;
I have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)
Curious to know if anyone has found any open source AS3 Scrollbar components that work with the TextField much in the way the V2 components of the same names worked.
I'm having an issue where the browser will not tab to a dynamic text region. If I change the region to input, the tab works fine, but I don't want users to change the text in the region. It is just meant to be read aloud by screen readers.
I have a variable called AICC_Student_ID, which is talking to an LMS to pull in a student's unique ID (usually the same as their NTID). I need to take that JS variable value, and slap it into a String for treatment.I looked at the work it would take to use SWFObject, and since this little swf is going onto literally thousands of pages, manually hacking each and every one is just not worth it.
I've got some HTML text in my XML which i load in flash. But when i try to use an image as a link using <a href="http://site.com"><img src="img.jpg"></a> nothing happens when i click the image. Links work fine unless the image is wrapped in the "a href"-tag. Anyone know how to solve this?
