I made a virtual keyboard w/c i will use on touchscreen, everything is ok except for when I wanted to insert a letter in a text field it always places itself at the end, the problem is that if I needed to insert a character I have to delete all of the text in front of it before I could put that letter.
I had tried using setSelection but still nothing changes. A
I'm attempting to put together a 'French Accents' keypad (basically a few buttons that insert a French character into a textfield when pressed). At the moment im having the following issues with it:
The french characters always appear at the end of the string despite where the cursor is focused.
I can't get the cursor/caret to focus after any letter generated by a press of a button rather than a keyboard input.
Here is my current button code:
ActionScript Code:
on(release){
//The getCaretIndex method returns the index of the blinking insertion point (caret) position.
[Code]....
What Im looking for is a tutorial that basically, if you scroll over one thing, the cursor changes to one shape, then if you roll over something else, it changes to something else.I'd want it to be as simple as possible, only using one layer otherwise I get a bit confused!!
View 1 RepliesI have a series of buttons that when clicked will enter a character into a dynamic textfield. Here is my code:

This works but I dont know how to get round the following issues: Once a button is pressed the cursor moves out of the textbox once the character is placed inside, each character always goes to the end of my text line (as += implies but I can't find a workaround).
I'd to insert date on a richtexteditor when the user click on a button.This part is easy, more difficult, how to insert this on cursor position. Cursor position may be on the beginning, middle or end of the text.
View 1 RepliesI have a magnify glass cursor for my portfolio website and it's working fine, except I need it to stop before it reaches the edges of the stage as when it is in a browser it "cuts off" the magnify glass and it looks weird, see on my site and move the cursor to the very right or left: [URL]. The code I have to control my glass is here and I just need to be able to add some x,y etc coordinates somewhere to stop it at certain points on the stage?
var moveGlass:Number;
magnifyingGlass.onPress = function() {
moveGlass = setInterval(startGlass,1); };
function startGlass() {
magnifyingGlass._x = _root._xmouse;
magnifyingGlass._y = _root._ymouse;
} magnifyingGlass.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.largeobject._x = (this._parent.original._x-this._x)*2;
this.largeobject._y = (this._parent.original._y-this._y)*2;
}
I want to programmatically insert formatted text at the current cursor position in a Flex 4 (Spark) RichEditableText control. I could just modify the .text property But that doesn't allow me to insert formatted text. So I believe I need to interact with either .textFlow or .textFlow.interactionManager somehow? However, TLF is quite complex and I can't find a simple way to do what I want.

View 2 Repliesi'm making a small "add news" movie for a site in actionscript. When I insert an image in my textField, I can only move the cursor with my keys and not with my mouse anymore.

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.

View 6 RepliesI have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

View 2 RepliesI am making use of a custom cursor on itemRenderers in a List component. The custom cursor works just fine except when I mouse over the Text component which is a child of the itemRenderer at which point I get two cursors, the custom and an iBar one on top of the other.Here's the code:
