View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of text I am working with from XML and when I import it into my text field it becomes automatically indented on the first line. Is there a way to lose this indent? If I take off word wrapping it does make the indent go away, but then of course the text spans across further than the text field horizontally.
Here are some of the properties I have assigned to the text field I am using:
ActionScript Code:
myTextField.htmlText = txtPath; //txtPath is the loaded and parsed XML
myTextField.multiline = true;
myTextField.wordWrap = true;

View 2 RepliesI have this so far.
function authcheck(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (ID_input=="447839" || Password_input=="33227") {
gotoAndStop("authgood");
} else {
gotoAndStop("authbad");
}}
logbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , authcheck);
It's probably not working because AS3 can't identify the "ID_input" input field. I have the two input fields on the stage with the instance names ID_input and Password_input.
I'm trying to build a flash keypad that fills in input text boxes when you press a button.I have two input text fields. I can assign each button a number and tell it to display that number in the text field when pressed. for example:

InputText1.text += 1

View 4 RepliesI have code for the user to enter their name in a text box. Once the submit button is clicked I want the name entered to be dispatched with an event as well as displayed on the stage.

Code:
var NameTextField:TextField = new TextField();var MyFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

View 0 RepliesI have 6 input texts on stage and I want to compare this to an array with the right answers, so far so good. The problem came when even if I put the right answer it considered it bad. After some hours and thanks to the debug, I managed to see that a line break was being added to the value of the input text only when I clicked on it to type, if I enter the input text by tapping the "tab" key, everything works just fine.The input texts are named r0 to r5, here is the comparison code:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i=0;i<respuestaCorrecta.length;i++)
{
trace('Answer: ' + eval('r'+i).text.toUpperCase() + ' Against: ' + respuestaCorrecta[i]);
if(respuestaCorrecta[i] == eval('r'+i).text.toUpperCase())

I am going nuts here. I've searched exhaustively, and cannot seem to find anyone else experiencing my issue, so it must be something elementary I am not grasping. I'm creating TextFields dynamically, for use as input boxes:

If I press ENTER while editing textfield a newline is inserted. How can I change ENTER on something else, for example CONTROL+ENTER or SHIFT+ENTER(i.e. SHIFT+ENTER inserts new line into textfield)
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to create a scoreboard. Lets say 4 persons are playing, I made 4 textfields on the stage, named them scoreOne, scoreTwo, etc. Now I want to add 1 point to this textfield everytime I press a numpad. So, when player 1 earns a point, I'll press NUMPAD 1 and this point will be added to the textfield. Well, I wrote this code, but it only works once. I can use it for every player, but it's not possible to give them more then 1 point. What's wrong in the code?
I also tried to create a var, which stores the score. Isn't it easier to use a code that shows the var in the textfield, and if, how to do this? So far as I wrote the code the var isn't used yet, the only thing visible on stage is the (scoreOne.text = "" + 1;) part.

I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

View 3 RepliesI'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"
