ActionScript 3.0 :: Isolate Words Entered By User Into 'Input Text'
Nov 22, 2009
I'm trying to isolate words entered by the user into an "Input Text" (command). In a function that executes every time a key is pressed, I set a string, "newTxt", to the text entered.[code]This works fine; I'm able to check the string "newTxt". However, this checks the entire command rather than one word. When I replace line 2 with:[code]it freezes. In theory, it should add every letter until it reaches a space or ends, right? Could anyone find my mistake? Also, how would I go about checking for the second word (after a space)?

I'm making a project in which I have a input/output text box. I'm trying to restrict the words that are able to be said in the input box, but I can't seem to figure out how I'd do that. I'd think that I'd use .replace, and possibly an if function which tells it that if a word used does not equal the allowed words, to replace it with something such as ###.

I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.

I've created a form-like input to receive user input in the form of text in a frame. Now, I would like to pass that input into an external text file. I hope to get help to implement this. Let's assume that this app will be only used locally and not over the web.

I am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so I set editable="true". The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.

I started a search engine in flash for a small 15 pages website,and in these cases I think it's best to create an XML file as a database... I need to say that I am a beginner in using actionscript and Macromedia Flash as I used other software before. here is the progress so far: Search engine and here is the XML file to get an idea: XML file and the actionscript: Actionscript TXT or Actionscript PDF there are some words in Romanian in the search engine link
1).I need to compare the VAR entered by the user in the search box with the DESCRIPTION from the XML, what I was able to do is to compare if they are equal, that means you need to enter the exact description to get a result, what I need to obtain is for example to enter "goo" and still get the result for GOOGLE, or "gle" or whatever...
2). I also need to use the search button as a trigger and also the key ENTER, I was able to do it but not together, it was either ENTER or the button, I need to specify here that the function from the onRelease command of the button is a very complex one.

I'm trying to create a simple login for a flash site written in AS2. This should be extremely simple. I don't want to use PHP and MySQL, that would be overkill.

I'm fairly new to Flash (over the last few months I have followed Actionscripting in books and online tutorials and can do basics by essentially following the recipes, but am having considerably more problems putting it all together for my own program).
I am trying to create a program for my students that will take their text input in fields like author, title, publisher, date, place of publication, etc. and output bibliography citations in the proper format (complete with punctuation). What is the best way to handle the text formatting to add punctuation and make the citation entries? Your text tutorial on color and other properties is very good, as well as the input text that returns the words, but how do I go one more step to add my punctuation to the user's input?

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);
function checker(Event:MouseEvent):void

I have a text input box inside a movieclip. I want to detect when the user clicks inside and open up a modal window with the full form. I use the following line of code:
Code:
this.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, _onFocus);
And it works fine, but just the first time. When I close my modal window without entering any information and click on the input form again, nothing happens. The listener is there, but nothing happens. My guess is because the focus is already there. Should I be using another listener? MouseEvent.CLICK is not what I'm looking for because I only want the window to fire when inside the textbox is clicked, not the whole thing...
I also tried
Code:
stage.focus = null;
and it also doesn't work.

I have a textfield problem. I created a textfield (for input) and wanted to make some calculations using entered numbers. But it recognizes the inputs as a string. For example;
listen=new Object();
listen.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){[code]....
if I enter 12 in the textfield and press Enter, result is 123, not 15. How can i make it to recognize input as a number?

I was thinking that it may be possible to create a primitive, yet usable actionscript based text to speech system for Flash movies (One that is platform independent).
Is it possible to right a series of actionscript commands that would play a collection of certain sound files based on what word or words the user has entered?
For example:
If the user types "Red Pen"
Can actionscript tear apart those two words and play sound files "Arr", "ee", "Dee", "Pee", "ee" and "EN"?
If it is possible, and if someone could help me out on it, then I'll start figuring out what phonetic sounds I'll need to record and program, and see if I can't build a simple text to speech program for flash movies.I have no immediate commercial application for it, and I don't plan on one.So if I can pull it off it'll be free to everyone, source code and all. Of course, it may be in my voice, but it shouldn't be hard to take what I plan to do and use it as a template for anyone else's voice recordings.
