I've created a form based flex app that populates some fields on startup. I'd like to validate that several text fields/labels are not null on startup. If any required fields are null I"ll throw and alert and close the app. There are only 4-5 fields that I need to check.
View 5 RepliesI've created a custom textInput componenet that handles it's own validation using a private validator. The validation is enabled depending on the state of the component i.e. validation is enable when the components state is "edit".However, when the state changes from edit the internal validator is set to not enabled but the validation errors on the textbox do not clear - the textInput still has the red border and on mouseover the validation errors come up. What I want to happen is that when a validator is disabled the error formatting and error messages clear from the text input control.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this I tried setting the internal validator instance to enabled = false and dispatching a new focusOutEvent as below but the validation error formatting is still applied to the textInput contrl.
_validatorInstance.enabled = false;
//clear the validation errors if any
dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT));

View 2 RepliesI have recently purchased CS4 Design Premium. The installation of all applications went fine (no error message) and all applications work perfect except Flash CS4. On startup I see shortly the stage screen and then the spinning beach ball. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash only with no luck. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the complete Suite and still no luck. I work on a MacPro with 10.5.7. All other system requirements are fullfilled

I've been running flash CS4 without error for a few months now, recently though whenever I close it I can't open it back up or I get this error:"The application Adobe Flash CS4 has unexpectedly quit.A crash report has been generated.

In my air app I am maximizing the app window on creation complete event. Because of this I initially get a smaller window for a few milliseconds which is maximized after all UI elements are rendered. Is there any way I can specify that the initial size of the window should be maximal? Hard coding the size will not works as the screen sizes may change.
My current code is:
<s:WindowedApplication .... creationComplete="maximize();">

I want to read width and height from XML and then change the stage size based on these numbers in an EXE file of Flash. Imagine the main size of flash application is for example 1024 x786. I write a code which interact with user as touch screen and all startup data(like image file names and key coordination) come from an XML file. My problem is, for different PCs, I must set the size of application manually. Some touch screens have different ratios like 1280 * 400! The only way is set the stage size on startup the application butstage.staheWidthandstage.stageHeightdont change anything for me.

I uploaded several intro slide shows onto a black background. They work fine, but take awhile to load (once viewed and go back-they load much quicker). While waiting to load, the stage area is white.
However when I created them, I did make sure the stage area was black.
what I might do to correct this? I just think it would look much better if everything was black until the show appears. The shows were created in Flash CS 4 (ActionScript 3.0), & the site was created in Dreamweaver CS 4.

Im trying to load a startup photo from a folder "images" with Scottys re-size gallery script. Is there a way to load the latest edited (uploaded) file, from this folder?
I can't post fla since its too big.
I need to attempt to download a 1kb text file on startup to check if there is a connection. This is because of the environment.
I realised:
PHP Code:

or:
PHP Code:
try { //... testLoader.load(someURLRequest);}catch (e:Error){ someErrorHandler(); }
I am doing some forms in Flash Cs4 with AS3. The forms are working well, but i have a code to check if people have enter information in every field. But the verification only works for 2 field. The code is exactly the same for the other but it doesn't work. Can you double check my code and maybe explain me why it doesn't work or maybe how to replace the validation code by another.

I'm making a small memory game that is XML driven (users can upload images into the game). I've come to the point where I need to check if the user has filled out certain nodes or not, and if so; check that the input is valid - int when int is expected and whatnot.
What are the ways to check this, and which is best? So far I've only tried checking if a node is == "" or not, but I imagine there must be better ways. I will include lots of switches for the user which should all be optional. This calls for a neat way to validate it.
I am using URL Loader to hit the server (e.g. Yahoo server) and then listing to HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS" listener for Status code 200. If the response code is 200 then form submits to database else I am giving the error "URL is not valid".I am running my application from Tomcat server using address Issue: On submiting the form Flash returns "SecurityError stating "form.swf" cannot access data on "Yahoo server".I have also placed a crossdomain.xml file on the server with allowDomain set to wildcard "*";
View 3 RepliesOn the stage:Textfield called "inputTXT".And a button called "Go". All I am trying to accomplish here is to have the input characters validated to be ONLY numbers and max 5. However, I don't want to use:"inputTXT.restrict = "0123456789".
Instead I would like to check if the characters entered after pressing the "go" btn, are within the defined parameters above (numbers and max5). If yes, then I need to pass a URL, if not then I need to display an error message.
I have tried to make validation code for an input box (flash 8) however I cant seem to get it to work, heres the code i have
allow = new Array(" ","a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l", "m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y ","z"," ","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L", "M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y ","Z");
function validate(user_name){
[code]....
The basic gist is that it runs throught the input box and checks if the letters are in the array,and if they are it adds 1 to temp2 then at the end it checks how many characters are in the input box, and if they equal == temp2 then it goes to the next scene, else it says "Please....etc" The PROBLEM is that if the user types in a letter twice, such as " HELLO" then the code only counts 1 L instead of 2 L's. so then it throws out the sum because it wont be correct.

I need a add a competition form with validation.will need details like name, age, email, post code, gender and so on.
p.s. form is going out to AMF
I'm working on a form validation script, and whilst I like (in theory) to build reusable classes, this is one time I'm finding it a bit tricky.
The problem is it's difficult to build something loosely-coupled when the actual components of the form could be textfields, Flash components, or even my own basic custom components.
Interfaces are out the window, as an interface (say IFormElement) I might set up with getters and setters for label, error message and value, won't be relevant to Flash UI components.
At the moment, I'm leaning towards a base Validation class that should be extended in order to cater for different flavours of forms, with getValue() and setError() type messages.
The problem again here is that it is difficult to retain type safety, as when overriding the methods in the subclasses, obviously one can't change the type within the method signature.
