ActionScript 3.0 :: Hitting Enter On Input Text Adds Return?

Mar 17, 2009

When the user hits enter, their input is to be compared to an existing input, then stored if there is no match. The problem is, the file is storing the "enter" key as well, so the database input looks like this:

word/r

instead of just

word


Code:
//user presses enter to enter their tag
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkTag);
function checkTag(evt:KeyboardEvent):void {

ActionScript 1/2 :: Hitting ENTER In A DataGrid Editable Cell?

Jun 9, 2009

Here's a question for you. I have a dataGrid that I want to be able to edit only when the user clicks on a particular button. When this happens, I make the dataGrid editable and I make that particular column editable. After the user modifies the cell's content and hits ENTER, I want the edit cell to close and the dataGrid to once again become non editable. Here's the code in my Key.onKeyUp listeneif(Key.getCode() == Key.ESCAPE || Key.getCode() == Key.ENTER){  my_dg.getColumnAt(2).editable = false;  my_dg.editable = false;}If the user hits ESC, the edit box closes correctly. If he hits the ENTER key, the edit box remains visible until he hits ENTER once more. Only then does it disappear

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use Enter Key With Input Text?

So, I'm trying to call the function with the enter key. The function is to examine text inputted in an input text box then return "good job"(if the text was correct) or "try again" (if not) in a dynamic text box.

The problem I have is it returns "try again" as soon as I start typing. Anyway to resolve this?

Here is the code

ActionScript Code:
txtyour.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, textHandler);
function textHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Keep Focus And Cursor In Flex's TextInput After Hitting Enter?

Jul 23, 2009

I am a Flex newbie and I am testing a little application that simulates a cart. (It is based on a nice sample by Farata Systems' Yakov Fain).Note: I am using the beta of Flash Builder 4 to code the application.Here you have a link to the screenshot:Screenshot(Sorry I can't insert the image of the screenshot right here since stackoverflow doesn't allow new users to use image tags.)The application is very simple. You type a product in the TextInput control and then click on the "Add to cart" button to add it to the "cart" which is represented by the TextArea at the bottom.

That works ok.The problem is that I also want the user to be able to keep adding items to the cart without having to click on the "Add to cart" button. So, I added code to handle the enter event of the Textput by calling the same handler function triggered by the "Add to cart" Click event.If you type some content and then click the "Add to cart" button, the TextInput control receives the focus and the cursor, so you can type again.
However, if you hit enter, instead of clicking the button, the TextInput control keeps focused and you can see the cursor beam, but you can not enter text until you click elsewhere and come back to the control.Below you can see the relevant part of the code, with the definition of the component that groups the three controls at the top (Label, TextInput, Button).

IDE :: Create An Input Text That Asks The User To Enter A Value

Feb 17, 2009

I tried to create a input text that asks the user to enter a value then i wanted that value to be compared with another var by an if statement but when it gets to that part it always goes to the else condition. I did check the values by making the flash view, they are the same but its still not running as i want it to.

anyways ill leave you with the code :

variables:
btn: a button i created
maq: an empty string that stores the value of the input text
GPA.text: name of the input text
V3: is just a dynamic text to let me know if the condition is met or not

Code:
stop();
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,checker);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Online Calculator - Text Input Fields And Enter Key

Jan 26, 2012

I'm pretty new to AS 3. I've been tasked with converting an online calculator from AS2 to AS3 and am having trouble figuring out how to get one of the functions to work. There are several input fields, restricted to numbers, which are ordered by tabIndex. When you enter a value and hit the 'Enter' key, it deletes the numbers the user just typed and focuses in on the now blank text field. What I need it to do is focus on the text field, and instead of deleting the text, select it.

Code:
txt1.tabIndex = 1;
txt2.tabIndex = 2;
txt3.tabIndex = 3;
txt4.tabIndex = 4;
txt5.tabIndex = 5;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Enter Special Characters In The Text Input Field?

I have taken over an old project of a registration page after a short quiz and for some reason it is not possible to enter special characters in the text input field. example: @ but it is also not possible to enter a y or a capital W and some others. I have not found any thread or google infos on this problem and am short of reprogramming the whole thing in as3 which is very tedious because the whole site is still running as2 and we do not have time nor money to update.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Replace Input Textbox Text And Submit On Enter Key?

Oct 5, 2011

I am making a little banner for my site that makes different offers based on geo location (zipcode). I have the code working pretty much except for a few elements I want.

1) I want the input box to say "Enter Zip Code" until the user clicks on the input box. Then it clears out and the user can enter their zip code. The text box at this point should only take in 5 digits and no more.

2) Instead of having to click on the button to submit the form I want the user to also have an option just press enter when they are on the input text field and it process the form.

I am using Flash CS5 with AS2

This is the code I have so far:

ActionScript Code:

Code:
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
trace('this is the begining of the code');
var nameText:String = "Zip Code";

If it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields? I've tried something like this:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Detect The Enter Key Being Pressed While In A Input Textbox?

if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)&&_root.answer==_root.youranswer)
{
//game over code here
}

However the "youranswer" variable is represented by the value in an input textbox and when I push enter, it just blanks it out and it never matches.

If I change it from Key.ENTER to Key.SHIFT, it works.

But this game: [URL]

has it where it can detect Enter and do a check with an input text box. How does that work?

ActionScript 2.0 :: "Return Or Enter" Keystoke Made By The User?

Nov 5, 2008

How 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Default Dynamic Text Auto-scale Font, Input From Input Text First

Feb 3, 2011

I have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.

Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".

Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".

When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.

auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.

The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.

here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:
