View 2 RepliesI have read several posting on this site and others. I can't seem to find the right solution to get my combo box to work. I am publishing for Flash player 10 and AS 2. The final file will be imported into a Articulate/PPT file.
I am simulating a form that my audience needs to fill out. For 2 text fields, I am using a combo box to allow them to select the proper input. If they leave the form screen, I need to save their answers so they do not have to start from the beginning. I am using global variables.
My problem occurs, when I try to populate the combo box using the audience's previously selected response. I have tried using setSelectedIndex. It works to the extent that the choice indicated highlights in the combo box, but the actual selection is not appearing in the text area. Do I need to set Combobox.text = selection?
can you please tell me how to have multiple selection in flex combo box component
View 1 Repliesi want a combo box that will change the mouse to wat ever i want(run a script wit each diff selection). i know it cant be that hard i just cant get it.
View 5 RepliesWe've all been to driver download pages where you select your model from one combobox list and then that choice populates the next combobox of choices and then that combobox choice spawns a link to the driver.Combobox 1 will display a list of 14 items. Each item in that list has a subset of 3-4 items that will appear in combobox 2 once a selection is made. Then when a selection is made in combobox 2 a link will appear for a download
View 1 RepliesI have an editable mx:Combobox. I want to catch two events: When a user enters some text, or edits some text.When a user changes the selection (selects an item from the combo box).Is it possible? I have been using change event, but it is fired in both cases and I can't differentiate it. Is there a better way of doing this?
View 1 RepliesI need 5 embedded fonts to be added in to a combo box and on selection to apply the font type to several dynamic text boxes.
View 2 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

View 1 RepliesI'm working in CS4 but the flash file I'm updating is a few years old - so I'm still working in AS2 for this project.I am working on updating a file that uses combo boxes but am not terribly familiar with how to control them using action script. I have made my combo box editable so that the user can input text. I have several scenes in my flash file that act as different pages. Right now, with the combo Box editable, if the user inputs text and leaves that "page", then comes back to it later, the text they input is gone and the combo box value is blank.Is there a code I can apply to my combo box or scene to tell it to keep the value that the user types in, even if they leave that scene and come back to it later?
View 1 RepliesI have a Card Class which corresponds to a MovieClip from my Library. Inside that MovieClip, I have placed some TextFields and a MovieClip, manually, not via code. But when I try to instance a Card, it crashes and say "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property back_mc on core.Card."
Code:
package core {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
First of all, I'm not trying to create anything, I'm trying to declare stuffs for further use. This would work in AS2. When extending MovieClip with ActionScript, am I supposed to build every member via code? Can I not benefit from the wysiwyg editor???
note: ClientObject extends MovieClip for those who wonder :-)
I'm new to AS3 and I'm currently trying to code a project that allows the user to dissect an image made of movie clips:
Code:
var rightniptime:Timer = new Timer(100, 6);
function rightnipfall(event:TimerEvent): void {
rightnip_mc.y+=100;[code].....
I have literally duplicated this bit of code for the sixty movieclips that comprise this image. This would be fine, but I need another image (again, comprised of about sixty movieclips) to appear, and have the same functionality as the first, once the pieces of the first image have left the stage.I have been reading articles about classes, creating classes; my teacher gave me vague advice about creating a number that increments as the images fall and then creating a conditional statement that would display the new image once the pieces of the first have reached a particular Y location. But at this point I'm on the verge of tears and can't seem to make it work.
I'm shwoing a step by step process on how I did a photoshop piece, and I want to have a simple flash swf that goes through each of the screenshots at the viewer's pace, by them clicking. I wasn't even thinking so complicated as to include forward/back buttons, even just somethign so simple as having the entire image clickable to move 'forward' and when it gets to the end it just loops or something. super simple, i would do an animaged gif but i want it to be at the user's own pace. but if you think of how an animated gif cycles that's how simple i want it to be. also a few of fading/dissolivng between the images would be cool.
View 1 RepliesHow do I code for a "Return or Enter" keystoke made by the user? wordinput1_txt is a multiline with wrap on input textbox. When submit_btn is pressed it should then make tick_mc or cross_mc visible drepending if the inputed text (Blue Chair Two) was correct. When testing, only cross_mc is made visible even when the inputed text is correct. This works fine when using a single line input text box and the user doesn't do a return or the text wrappping. I'm asking this now 'cos later in the project there will be a test with upto four lines of text for the user to input.

It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
Anyone let me know wether if pixel calculations are made swf files and when they r made to fullscreen wether they will remain the same in any monitor size?
View 1 RepliesI have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I have a quiz where a user must enter a letter (A, B, C) into an input text field labeled answer1. When they click check answer, I need to have feedback that says correct or incorrect. I need to know how to do this.

View 1 RepliesI need to take a user from a html link to a specific anchor point in the Flash website... that's easy enough. But the problem then is that the site is blank until it has loaded the relevant section. There's a preloader at the start of the whole site, but if a person jumps right in, it appears that nothing's happening for a while -which doesn't look very good- then the page appears. Is there a way to take the user to the first frame so that the preloader does it's bit, and then use the flash vars command to check the link they had come from, and jump then to the relevant section?
