ActionScript 3.0 :: Input Text Control Time Line And Movie Clip?

Apr 3, 2011

I would think this would be pretty simple, but I don't really know anything about actionscript 3.0. Please put this into terms I can understand. Basically, I want to be able to input text in a text box and have the movie jump to another frame based on what is typed into the box after the "enter" key is pressed. For example, If you type "Frame 2" and press enter, It could go to frame 2 and stop.

Additionally, I want to beable to have it control movie clips within the frame. For example, if you type "MovieClip1 Frame 3" it could seemingly transform an individual element in the frame by making the movie clip go to and stop at it's third frame.Finally, in the case that something is typed that doesn't match up (that the movie "doesn't understand,") I would like a movie clip to switch from being invisible (frame 1 of the movie clip) to showing an error message (frame 2 of the movie clip).The idea is, I want to make a visual text-based adventure game. Like, you could type "go north" and it would go to frame 3 where there's the northern part of the village.

ActionScript 3.0 :: [CS4] Input Text Starts With Line Break

Feb 6, 2010

I've created a multiline Input TextField in Flash CS4 IDE, and when I publish and click on it the text cursor jumps down to the second line. In the Flash IDE there is no line-break, but somehow it gets inserted before it's ever interacted with at runtime. I've tried all sorts of random TextField settings but every time when I render the SWF, the input has a line-break. Anybody ever dealt with this? How do I get the TextField to just be empty on start??

ActionScript 3.0 :: Shift First Line Of Text Down Within An Input Field?

Jan 29, 2009

Anyone know of a way to shift the first line of a single input line down so that it doesn't crowd the top edge of a text field? I could use a background sprite and have a textField positioned over the background, but I'd like to avoid this if possible. This is for fp9, not 10 so subscript won't help me.

It appears like TextLineMetrics are read only? Leading won't shift the first line and blockIndent only works on left/right margins?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Input Control On Top Of Native TextField Class

May 18, 2010

I am creating a text input control on top of the native TextField class. I am trying to make the input text field itself behave in such a way that hitting Enter when focused and typing, instead of adding a line feed, produces a kind of "submit" event from my control, clearing the "submitted" text input. The described above works quite well. My problem is that I currently rob the users of my control the simple line-feeding ability - instead of a line-feed, a "submit" event is dispatched.

Obviously my control is designed for sending text rapidly, but it is also multiline so I want people to also be able to insert newlines. Think of this as a chat text input control. What I thought about is, somehow capture Shift+Enter and make it behave as Enter usually does. This has proven to be absolutely impossible, and I know a thing or two about Flash Player.

Part of the problem is, Shift+Enter by default does not itself produce a newline (even though pretty much everything else that types in any OS, does) and I cannot patch the event - f.e. by setting 'shiftKey' property to false at capture phase so that the event moves on as if Enter was pressed instead. How to do this, sort of replicating a TextField entirely down to a caret and all?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing The Line Length?

Mar 27, 2010

I am still working on my pulley sim.  I have two wieghts hanging from a pulley.  When the user drags one down, the other move up accordingly.  I am trying to figure out how make the line that represents the rope grow and shrink as the weights move.  I have drawn the line like this:
 
var lineW:MovieClip = new MovieClip();addChild(lineW);lineW.graphics.lineStyle(1);lineW.graphics.moveTo(178,127);lineW.graphics.lineTo(weight_mc.x,weight_mc.y);
 
But I don't know how to change the length.  I tried redrawing the line in the Enter_Frame function that moves the weights but it only adds to the line without shortening it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Slideshow With A Delay Of For Example 3 Seconds, And A Preloader Which Is A Line With A 100px Final Length?

Oct 17, 2010

i have a slideshow with a delay of for example 3 seconds, and a preloader which is a line with a 100px final length.i start preloading next image.now if the time until next image loads is longer than slideshow delay, i will show next image as soon as it loads.if the time until next image loads is shorter that than slideshow delay, i want to wait additional time until delay and then show the image.the problem is how do i represent smooth line width grow (being enter frame or tween) by calculating/comparing 2 values together (delay and loader percent, which goes from 0 - 100) ?if my line growth represent just a slideshow delay, then when it gets to an end, if next image still hasnt loaded, then it wont look good if line has come to an end, but i still have to wait.
