i have an issue with actionscript 3 and firefox 3.i have a dynamic input textbox on stage where users enter their email address. when i select the text inside of the input and drag and my mouse cursor off the stage, the typing goes into overwrite mode, not allowing me to type more than 2 characters.
View 2 RepliesDo you remember this old bug in as2 where a keyboard input does not display the same as it should do in a input text field. (caused by the transparency mode of the flash in the html on web-kit browsers) For example: the @ key turns into the ". So for email forms this is a massive ball ache! I made some hot script in my as2 days that fixed this problem, but I sure am struggling with a as3 version. I have seen online a hacky javascript fix, but is pointless when it can easily be done in actionscript
Actionscript Code:
textEmail.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,handler);function handler(event:KeyboardEvent){ // if the key character @/"(charcode34) is entered if(event.charCode == 34){// replace charCode 34 with the character "@" trace ("this has now been repalced with @"); }}
I am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.
View 2 RepliesI basically am creating a video where the intro video plays through then the user is prompted with 3 choices to select which video will play next I am using keyboard input to make the selection. I have the keyboard input capturing working, pretty basic, but I am having trouble getting it to switch to say scene 2 (where I have another video)

I 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.
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:

View 2 Repliesthe 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:
Code:
//
function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {

I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
View 3 Repliesi created an input text box that puts the users input into a global variable, but when i test it it gives me not only what i have typed in but all the html formatting for the font that my input text box has on it.I only want the text that i have typed in to go into the variable but the wackload of html is going in there too. ive tried a few different things, rewriting my code, recreating the text box, changing settings, dont know what im missing.

This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?

This is the most frustrating program ever. No where can I find an answer. I've tried everything I've read on how to change text but I can never get the selection tool to select the text. Some say use the T tool but all that does is create a new white box over top of it to type new text in
The layer isn't locked and the closest I can get is a blue box around the button. Well it's not a button and in the library the icon is a movie clip. Its also in my "bitmaps" folder as and image? (tree icon) Does that matter? I'm begining to think this is a whole image?
So the real problem is the lack of an onReleaseOutside function. I found some examples of how to bypass this during a drag function but it was not applicable for a text input.The problem is that when a user selects some text in textinput and mouses off the application area and then mouses up, I'm getting a problem that the textinput keeps thinking that the mouse down is actively selecting text in the textinput and continually overwrites the characters being entered in the textinput. in the search bar of the live store on the page, type some text, then highlight it all and don't let up on the mouse until you are outside the store.I finally hacked some junk together so I can tell if the mouse goes off the stage using some code like.
var x = stage.mouseX;var y = stage.mouseY;if(x < 0 || y <0 || x >stage.stageWidth || y > stage.stageHeight)I'd like to just make the textinput stop thinking it should be highlighting text so that even if the user scrolls out of the applet and mouses up that the text input still overwrites what is in the search bar and functions as normal.
is there anyways I can disable people from highlighting/selection the text inside an Input Box? I have tried the 3 buttons next to the "Single Line" dropdown but none of them work.Is there a as3 code I need to put so people cannot highlight/select the text inside a input box for example in a form?
View 1 RepliesWe are working on a small project. The movie asks you to point out an animal, then when you point it out, it enlarges it and tells you what it is using a text box as well as a voice clip. We want to make the movie bilingual. So the splash screen will have the choice "English" and "Espaeol". If the user chooses english and then clicks an animal we want the item to be identified in english. So the english text box and english sound clip to show up. if the choice is spanish we want the item identified using spanish text and voice. Heres is the AS i have so far and it works beautifully. This is from before we decided to incorporate Spanish. As it is I have the text and voice on each individual MC timeline.
ActionScript Code:
//this is to bring each animal to the front when clicked but serves to turn each MC into a button
var animals : Array = [pig_mc, chicken_mc, rabbit_mc, donkey_mc, sheep_mc, horse_mc, goat_mc, frog_mc, duck_mc, cow_mc]
for (var i:int = 0; i< animals.length; i++){
animals[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,bringToFront);
animals[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mc_play);
[Code] .....
Is there a way to set a flag when the spanish button is pressed? For example, pressing the spanish button will set spanish to true, and I could add some AS when a frame is reached that said something along the lines of:
if spanish=true play sound cow_esp else play sound cow_eng
