ActionScript 3.0 :: No Longer Type In Input Text Field
Jan 3, 2010I seem to be having a very strange problem with an input textfield. If i have an original message in the input text field, eg Enter your name. Then i add a focus event to the textfield to check when the user selects the textfield. Once they do i want to clear the original message, so that the textfield is blank for when they start typing, but for some reason once i do that i can no longer type in the textbox. The code is from a custom text class i created, but a much simpler version.

Jun 8, 2011When I Selection.setFocus(someTextField); the cursor doesn't start blinking in the text field. I've tried it in the flash IDE as well as in a HTML page, I can't seem to get the cursor to start blinking automatically in an input TextField.
I even did an onEnterFrame script to make sure the TextField was loaded and ready before I did the selection. I've also used Selection.setSelection(0,0) , etc. It just never shows up.
If I click the input TextField the cursor shows up as normal though. I just want it to automatically appear as this is a form and I want it to be clear to the user which textfield is currently selected when I change focus.
This is for a touchscreen project with an on-screen keyboard so the user has no mouse.
Even if the user types some letters and sees them appear in the input box properly the cursor STILL doesn't appear. Only when I click the input does the cursor appear.

May 29, 2008I have a multiline input text box which a user can type stuff into, then click a button which will save what they typed and load another lot of text (all using XML). What I would like is to set the flashing cursor to the end of this box when it is updated. I've tried a few things:
Code:
Selection.setFocus(_parent.journalentry);
Selection.setSelection(0, 0);

ActionScript 1/2 :: Cursor - Input Text Field With Embedded Fonts ?
Jul 8, 2009I have some problem with textField with embedded fonts.I'm using font symbols created in library and they work very well with dynamic textfields.If I make an input textfield with these embedded fonts the following problem occurs:if i set the textfield's initial value (.text) to anything not equal to "" everything works fine. I can change the text in it.but if I set the input textfield's .text initially to an empty string, I can't get the cursor in the textfield, as it can't receive the focus.If I turn the texfield's embeddedfonts to false, everything works fine, but this way I can't use custom fonts and fields are looking awful. I would like to use my custom fonts in the input textfields too...

View 1 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Changing The Cursor Position In An Input Text Field And Removing Leading Numeric Zeros?
Sep 2, 2011I have an input text field that is named in the properties box as 'numberOfKids'. When the program is executed, and a delete or backspace is pressed the input textfield goes blank and any calculations that use 'numberOfKids' shows NaN.I have trapped the NaN and undefined so that a numeric 0 shows up instead of a blank.
First problem: The cursor is to the left of the zero, so the first number inputted by the user is 10x larger than what they want. 0 becomes 10. How do I get the cursor to move to the right of the 0?
Second Problem: When I manually move the cursor to the right of the 0 and input a number, say 4, it shows up as 04. How do I delete the leading numeric zero in the input textfield?
Here's the code I am using:
calculateChildWeight = function () { if (isNaN(numberOfKids)) { numberOfKids = 0; } if ((numberOfKids) == undefined) { numberOfKids = 0; } if (numberOfKids>=0 && numberOfKids<=137) { numberOfKids = numberOfKids; } else { numberOfKids = 0; } if (isNaN(adjustedChildWeight)) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } if ((adjustedChildWeight)=undefined) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } adjustedChildWeight = Number(numberOfKids*(-100)); //numberOfKids.setSelection(numberOfKids.length, numberOfKids.length); //if (numberOfKids.length=2 && numberOfKids<10) { // remove the first character or leading zero// numberOfKids = numberOfKids;// }};

Apr 28, 2011the last of many problems, is that at the very end of the test, you're shown your score, and you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever. The problem is, the input text box will not let you type in it. If you mouse over it, the mouse stays a pointer, you don't get the text tool. If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Selection.setFocus() Won't Put Flashing Cursor In Input Field
Jun 30, 2009I want to initialize a Flash asset to have a flashing cursor in an empty input field. I tried each of the following two ways with no luck:
1. Selection.setFocus("input_txt");
2. Selection.setFocus(input_txt);
I tried these alone in an empty fla with only the input textfield input_txt on the stage.
The other threads on this exact problem are several years old. Has something changed in for CS3 that it doesn't work.
If I put text in the field, it will be highlighted but that is not what I need. Just a flashing cursor.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Input Text - The Later Frames The Information The User Typed In The First Frame Is No Longer There
Sep 16, 2003I have a movieclip (named "checklist")with a great number of input text boxes in it. This clip is used early in the my movie (frame 1) and again at frames 20 and 30. The problem is that in the later frames the information the user typed in the first frame is no longer there. Now I could use the var parameter and set it to _root for all of the boxes, but I've been told that the var parameter is a bad way to go. Rather, I should use the name option instead, i.e. "myText_txt". I tried experimenting with objects, but I am not a programmer and so I am probably doing this wrong.
[Code]....
So, I am looking for a best practice. Should I just use the var parameter? That way all of the text fields update when the movie hits frames 20 and 30.
