ActionScript 2.0 :: Input Text Area Values For Contact Form
Oct 9, 2009I have a Input text area set up for a contact form. I want the area to display "Email", and for the alpha to be 50%. When you click on the text field to put in your email address, I want the original value to be removed and for the alpha to reset to 100%. I've been able to accomplish this fine so far using the code below; the problem is that I only want the value to become blank again if the user hasn't entered in information yet (this way if the user wants to come back and change something, it won't all be deleted when the text area is clicked on). I tried using an "if" statement, but Flash seems to just ignore it and perform the function either way.
Here is the code that I came up with:
email.text = "email";
email._alpha = 50;
email.onSetFocus = function() {
email.text = "";
email._alpha = 100;

Actionscript 3.0 :: Update Text Area Inside A Button?
Jul 20, 2009I know you can't target movieclips and text inside buttons in AS2, but I'm hoping there's a workaround in AS3. I've been handed a complex world map FLA with about 400 individually stylized buttons (various countries and regions) each with special text boxes in their rollover states. My job is to parse XML and push bits into the respective text area boxes.To simplify as much as possible, I've encapsulated all the buttons in an movieclipcountries_mc) and swapped the individual static text boxes for each country with an 'export for actionscript' classed movieclip (Overlay) containing a text area component (bodyCopy_ta).Kind of like this:-- stage----countries_mc------button (given instance name on stage, listened for MOUSE_OVER event)--------Overlay (shared in library, listened for ENTER_FRAME event)----------bodyCopy_taMy thinking is if I can listen for a button rollover, it seem like I should be able to change the text at Overlay.bodyCopy_ta through an event listener, regardless of where it's been placed on stage.

May 21, 2004I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.

Apr 24, 2008I have 2 MC's - one of my main character, and one of a specific area, I wish to confine my MC in. My main character has the ability to move (lol) and I do not wish for him to move outside of the boundaries of the second movie clip. Now this would be very easy if the second movie clip would be rectangulary (sp?) shaped - but it's not unfortunately. I was wondering if there is some kind of function similar to hitTest that compares the two MC's pixel by pixel, rather than setting the second MC's boundaries as a rectangle around it.
For example, what if my second MC is oval shaped, with no filling - like the '0' symbol for example...If it that is impossible (i doubt it is but w/e), then this is a approximately what my second MC looks like:[URL]

View 4 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Single Mouseover For An Area Which Controls Buttons Inside It?
Dec 31, 2007I have a 400x300 area that needs to detect a rollover and animate several buttons, text fields, etc. sliding into it when the mouse rolls into the area so that they can be manipulated, and animate them sliding out when the mouse rolls out of the area to hide them from view. (example here: [URL])
What is the best way to do this? The only way I have got it to work so far is by using a listener to track mouse position, but it's not reliable since you can move the mouse quickly in some areas of the movie and the listener doesn't catch it.

Nov 29, 2005I'm building a site and I would like to add a scrollbar to a text area that swaps out xml text files. Currently, I have up and down arrows to scroll the text, but I would like to have an actual scrollbar instead since there is a lot of text in some of the sections. Here is a link to the current version of the site with the up and down arrows: [URL]
I can make the scrollbar work just fine if I put the text in the first frame, but whenever I set it up to call on text files, then the scroll bar won't work. Obviously, I'm pretty new at Flash. I've attached an FLA with the text box.

View 3 RepliesPulling Text From A .txt To A Scroll Pane Or Text Area
Nov 6, 2009Basically, my whole website's going to be in Flash, but I want to be able to update one page (sort of a news/blog page) without having to edit the Flash file every time. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this would be to set up either a scroll pane or a text box and pull the text in from a .txt file. That way I could continue to add on to the .txt file, and Flash would always pull in the current version. So, my issues are:
1. I have no idea where to start with the code for something like that. Is it a LoadVar? Do I physically put a scroll pane or a text area in the frame and put the action on that, or do I put the action on the frame and have it call up a text area component?
2. Will the text scroll automatically, or is that something else I would have to add in? I plan on adding to this text file for awhile, so it could end up being a lot of text over time.
3. Would I be able to format the text in the .txt at all? For instance, if I hit enter to put in a paragraph break, would that register once it's pulled into Flash, or would I have to put in an html paragraph break or something? That may be a dumb question, but as I said, I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript (or any other programming language for that matter).
Professional :: Formatted Text In Text Area Component?
Jul 24, 2010I am trying to display an HTML formated file in the text Area.It should be straightforward task using the following code:
//----------load text file------------------
var loader1:URLLoader =new URLLoader();loader1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,displayText);[code].....
This uses a text area component dragged to stage and named myCV_TA. No text is displayed with that code.It does work when an ordinary text is used and myCV_TA.html/text is changed to myCV_TA.text.Tried many things and decided to live with the simple text file and apply some formating to it://----create textformat object
var mytextformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();mytextformat.font = "verdana";mytextformat.size = 16;mytextformat.color = 0x006600;[code]....
This code does not apply any formating, the simple text file is displayed but without any formating .
