ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert Input Text Field Data Into A String?
Oct 11, 2011
I have a string that searches the Twitter API, for keywords, for example :
var url:String = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Robin%20&lang=en&rpp=100";
I also have a input textfield dynamically created:
var inputField:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(inputField);
inputField.border = true;
inputField.width = 200;
[Code]....
But how do i take the data from the input text field and add it to the string, keep in mind the input data has to go in the keyword part for the string.
All I want to do is have an input text box where the users type a number, then Flash to perform a simple calculation and then display the answer on screen. For example; output = input *2 so if the user entered "5" the value displayed on screen would be "10".
I found this tutorial which is exactly what I am trying to do: [URL] but cant get it working correctly for some reason and just gives a "NaN" result (looks like an old version of flash)
I have encountered strange problem. I have created simple Flash text field control and I wanted to compare its content with some other string. This comparison in triggered when user is pressing the button.In Action Script 2.0 code I noticed that a caret return character () was added at the end of the string coming from the input text field.It is easy to overcome the problem obviously, however I would like to understand what is going on. I use Flash CS4 with AS 2.0.
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
i want to know how to check if a string is in an input field, so it returns a boolean. I know the answer will be simple and i tried googling it but nothing helpful came up.
Using AS3 to create a basic number guessing game but for some reason the input text field won't accept text input. I can't figure out which piece of code is causing the problem and it's driving me nuts considering it's from a tutorial.
What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.
How can I type something in my input text field without clicking on the field first? Basically I just have one input text field on the stage and when I Test Movie I would like to just type in some text without clicking on the field...
Basically I'm trying to output the contents of an XML document into a dynamic text field (as loaded - not just its node values and content - the entire thing - into a variable called _root.log). The text field is set to show the variable value of _root.log.This is the actionscript...
PHP Code: var newProfileXML:XML= new XML("<contacts result='true'><contact name='John Doe'/><contact name='Jane Doe'/></contacts>");
I need to run a query and convert the results to an XML string. I *think* I need to do all of this in PHP but I wanted to get some guidance as sometimes I make things more difficult than necessary.
Do I have 2 scripts... one to query and one to process the results to XML? Or can I put them both in the same script. To do the latter is not proper OOP practice, correct?
Once that is done, I can get the data into Flash. I need it to be XML though because the same data is being used elsewhere outside of Flash.
Is this the proper, most efficient way of handling this task?
i have a string which contains all binary data. the binary data represents a custom object in my application.
i want to convert all the data inside the string into binary format and store it in a ByteArray. then I want to read the object from the ByteArray using readObject.
I'm trying to retrieve an input value from a dynamically created input text fields ("qtyWant_txt"). I want to play that value back into an array ("QtyWant"), which is tied to a form. When the form is submitted, it'll grab the value in the array. My problem is that I'm unable to retrieve the value in the input field prior to passing it to the array.
Is it possible using actionscript to convert a text box into Input text once it has already been set as either dynamic/static text in the 'text box properties' dialog?[code]...
do i have to use some other server-side code to save a text file to the flash folder?just want to convert some meaningless text from an input dynamic text to a file...
I have a doubt in flash, i have a input text field with the text "search..." if i click on the input text field the word " search...." should not be visible. It is quite same as search bar in Flash Kit website , it is having the word "Search Flash Kit" but when the user click on the text field the word get disappear.

how i can confine the text within the boundaries of the input text field instead of restricting to limited characters? I find that restricting to limited characters is a bit problematic as it depends on the number of words the user types on it.
I have created a form consisting of several input text fields. My question is whether there's script to evaluate which text field is currently selected.
be a really obvious question but does anyone know how to convert input text to a variable?At the moment I have a textArea component and want to make the user's input text a variable so I can use it later. can get a trace on the input text with "trace(mytext.text)" but I just don't know how to make it a variable
I want to create an input text field that can be editable by the user and essentially when they click submit it turns this into HTML code with p, br, strong and em tags.
I don't know if it is possible, I assume it would be, but my searches are not turning up much.
I want the user to be able to select a section of text and click a B button to surround that selected text with strong tags, same for italics.
I also want to give the ability to at least record when the user presses enter in order it insert p tags and maybe even br tags if they press shift+enter
am extreme newb to the slightly more complex level of actionscript (anything beyond tweening and setting initial object states makes my head hurt a bit lol)anyway.. trying to set up pretty simple thing.there's an input text field named nameBox, and I have a button that calls a function that sets a text variable to the contents of the nameBox.text
