ActionScript 3.0 :: Add The Values From Multiple Text Fields?
Apr 8, 2011
What I have is two buttons that when clicked they add an input text field and a third button that puts a text field and gives you the total value of the two input fields after the user inputs some numbers, the problem is that the buttons adding the input fields can be clicked multiple times and of course adding a new input field each time they are clicked and as you can imagine when I try to add the values I only get the result of the last two fields added.
How can I tweak my code so it adds-up the total value of all input fields on the stage?
I didnt test my code it may have some errors, I just put it together to show the concept.
ActionScript Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addTotal);

I am working on a flash calculator that was created by another developer. The calculations work correctly only after the values are reset to none.So I am thinking that if I handle the reset when the swf first loads that it will solve the problem.Right now the code in frame one is stop();What would be the correct way to add this to frame one as well:
Code:
psi = "";
inchofmercury = "";

how do i create multiple text fields with different text in it?
i've tried using createTextField() but you can only make 1 textfield if you give it a different instance name everytime you then should be able to make more but they just disappear.

I am working on a program that has several text fields and I need to control them all very simply by using actionscript. I have an idea how to do it, I just don't know if it is possible. Here is the basic idea:
I have 20 sets of text fields with 3 text field each. The first set are named "firstNumber1", "secondNumber1", and "total1"; the second set are named "firstNumber2", "secondNumber2", and "total2"; and so on an so forth. What I want them to do is add the first number and second number to reach the total. Rather than writing this formula 20 times
PHP Code:
total1.text=firstNumber1.text+secondNumber1.text;
I would like to do them in the following manner:
PHP Code:
for(i=1;i<=20;i++){
"total"+i+".text"="firstNumber"+i+".text"+"secondNumber"+i+".text";
//if i=6, formula should be total6.text=firstNumber6.text+secondNumber6.text;
}
The problem I face is that Flash doesn't recognize what I am trying to do. I have tried several variations, but I haven't figured out how to write the command so that it will do them all with one group of code.

I try to create multiple text fields in a movieclip. However, the one created later always overwrite the one created immediately before it. Below is the code in the first and only frame in the application:
create2TextFields();
function create2TextFields()
{
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",this.getNextHighest Depth());
[Code]....
The code is writen in AS2 and Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and tested with Flash Player 10.
When I ran it in Flash Player 10, I only saw message2 displayed on the stage. When I stepped through the app in Adobe Flash Professional CS5, I found that as soon as message2 text field was created, message1 text field which was being displayed on the stage disppeared.

I am trying to check 3 scores at once. Is there a better way to code this... I want to check to see if they are all tied? If one score is greater than another? Seems like there should be a more cleaner way.

I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.

I have a stage where users can select a text tool (button) and then click inside a canvas area. If they select the text tool and then click inside the canvas I would like an input field to appear where they can start typing a message.It needs to have the ability to add multiple text input fields to the stage/canvas.I am building the app in CS3 with AS2.

I'm working in Flash Builder and Catalyst CS5 building a project that will aid technicians in finding policies and tools easily. One area that I want to focus on is the note taking section. I want the user to beable to input text and then have a "Copy Notes to Clipboard" button that will gather all the data from those input fields and store them in theclipboard. This way all the agent has to do is paste into the note section on their service ticket.The following is an example of the fields that it would require.Name:Phone Number:Issue:Symptoms:Troubleshooting Notes: also want the label for the text field to be included within the notes. So when someone pastes the notes it won't be just the contents, but will include the name of the text area as well. "Phone Number: 555-123-4567" instead of just "555-123-4567."

Site loads two flash files at the same time with multiple dynamic text fields that load .html files with external css style sheets. The site works almost perfectly when viewed offline, but when you upload it the text boxes sometimes load and sometimes do not. I'm a graphic designer so I really don't know actionscript 3.0 (or any version) very well... so I'm attaching the footer .fla file which by itself suffers from the same problem, and the other files are too big to upload so here is the link to the other .fla file used on the homepage

After a lot of experiments and reading many articles, Q&As, I still didn't find the answers to my problem, then I decided to ask my question at great stackoverflow forum:-)
The setup of my project is as follows:
- Create an AS3 project in Flash Builder 4 (Main.as3proj), and write source code in it;
- Create graphical assets in Flash CS5;
- Load the graphical assets in the AS3 project;
In the graphical assets (swfs), there are text fields, we would like to use Embedded fonts for the text fields. But we don't want to embed the fonts in all swfs, we want to create a swf as a font library (FontLib.swf), that embed all the fonts needed across all the graphical assets (swfs).
After loading or embedding the FontLib.swf to the main application (Main.swf), the embedded fonts is availabe: TextField.isFontCompatible(myFontName, myFont)
is true. And when I create a TextField with the embedded font at runtime, it works fine. But besides this, I want to use the embedded fonts for the TextFields in other graphical assets like what I described at the begging, but when I try to change the text for the dynamic text field in a movie clip, the text field will disappear. (Before changing the text, it can be displayed because Flash CS5 automatically embed the fonts for the characters already input in the fla/swf file).
I tried to clone the text field with the same properties of the text field in the movie clip and replaced the old one, as I said, this works as other text fields created at run time. But I have other problem with cloning and replacing the text fields in movie clip. I wonder if there is a way to instruct the flash player to use the externally loaded embedded fonts for the text fields in movie clip.

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code].....
This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.

someThin.text = String(value1) I'm using the above code to pass an integer to a dynamic textBox.The problem is I'd like to post a second variable (value2) in the same textBox as well as a '/' between them. I could use multiple textboxes but that just seems sooooo inefficient.
I've tried the following permutations and none have worked.
someThin.text = String(value1 ' ' value2) ;
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' (value2);
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' String(value2);

If you have two textareas, one has a rotation value besides 0 and the other has no rotation value or a value of 0 and you 'tab' focus from the one w/rotation to the one w/out. The border around the textArea w/out rotation will be rotated. If you set the rotation value of the non-rotated text field to a non-zero number, even 0.01, it fixes the problem, this causes tons of other problems in text rendering though so its not a solution.
I found setting the focusThickness style to 0 removes the border, which is a good solution but not a great one, anybody got a better one? Here is some sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TextArea id="source" width="100%" fontWeight="bold" fontSize="20" height="50" rotation="5" />
<mx:TextArea id="dest" width="100%" height="50" />

I want to dynamically create multiple text fields that fade out and "die". I have been looking over the "sprite" programming but there seems to be nothing that works in CS4. Have I bitten off more than I can chew with this one?THe basic concept is this:I want the function to do the following. Step 1: Create a new dynamic text field.Step 2: Tween it to fade out (or whatever).Step 3: Kill the text field.Key item is that the function should be able to create multiple text fields and each text field may be

Is it possible to retrieve the value from an TextInput box that is created at runtime?
I've assigned the TextInput box (or many MANY boxes, in this case) with unique names using something like, input.name = "input"+i inside a for loop. But then, later if I try to retrieve the value of input2.text, for example, I get the old 1120: Access of undefined property input2.
Oddly, if I assign an eventlistener to the input box in the same for loop, and trace e.target.name, I get the name input2. But if I try to call the value directly via input2.text, I get the error.
So is there some way to get that TextInput value without giving it a name within Flash? Or perhaps a better way to assign a name to it in the first place?

I have an array that gets filled with values from a database and I want to sort things in Flash using the sortOn() function. I'm trying to create an array with a number of fields, like this example from the Help-files:
Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
my_array.push({password: "Bob", age:29});[code]....
I need a bit more fields and if I put all of these in one line, it gets kinda lengthy.I tried something like
Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
my_array.push ( {prop1: "value_1_"+i} );[code]....
but this apparently doesn't work. Is there another way of doing this?

I get the feeling this problem is anything but complex, but I can't seem to pull it off.
I have an array that contains search results and looks like this:
array[x].id :Number
array[x].sectionID :Number
array[x].occur :Number
array[x].title :String
etc...
I want to sort it by sectionID ASC and occur DESC (occurances). What I read in the documentation is that I can sort on multiple fields like so:
array.sortOn(["sectionID", "occur"], options);
But I need to specify different options for each fieldName while it seems the function only allows for one set of options.
