View 0 RepliesI am creating a flash website with as storefinder.. There is an input text field in flash and a search button which when pressed will load a javascript function that uses the input text var.

I'm trying to build a fahrenheit to celsius convertor in AS3. How can I test to see whether what is input into a text input box (flash component) is not a number? This isn't correct but you can get an idea of what i'm trying to do:
if (celsius_txt.text == NaN || fahrenheit_txt.text == NaN)
{
//do something;
}
i have an one input text box, first i type text into it and press space bar at this it will become empty and ready to accept next input from starting position, i make the text box empty by
textbox.text = "";
but the cursor not set to initial position in text box it consider "" as "space" and cursor will display after one space only, i need that cursor again move to starting position..
I have a web page with a couple of Flash Input TextFields. When I press a button on my web page, I am using javascript (jQuery) to get all the values from the text fields and checkboxes etc on the page.
In order to get a value out of my Flash TextField, I understand that I have to use the ExternalInterface API. I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
In the flash IDE, I have a layer with just the textbox instance and another layer 'actions', which has all the actionscript.
As soon as I put: import flash.external.ExternalInterface
in my code, then the textfields full functionality does not seem to work on the webpage.
I assumed what I had to do was something like:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getFlashFieldText", getText);
function getText():String {
return myTextField.text;
}
then I thought that perhaps I had to call a javascript function to return the textfields value like so:
function getText():void {
var word:String = myTextField.text;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", word);
}
but nothing is working, and I think it is strange that the textfields functionality (some letters being styled) does not work as soon as I import the ExternalInterface class. I have tried putting the ActionScript 'actions' layer in a package, but it didn't help. As you can probably tell I am new to Flash and Actionscript, and I would be very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction.
I am trying to capture the microphone and send the recording to my server.. I tried this method here but it records only a big WAV and the upload can be slow sometimes. Is there a way to capture the voice and compress it on the client side? Best method would be to send the recording while recording, but I have no Idea if this is possible. (It works for YouTube Live Webcam recording, it must work for Audio only too..)
View 1 RepliesI 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 {

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..?
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how?

Trying to help a friend update their website cosmetics. One page has text field inputs that use Javascript, and a Flash output that displays input text. I am far from a flash guru and cannot get the right formula for AS to get the textfield input.
I should be using ExternalInterface class, but cannot get the script right. [code]...
I have created a simple game which asks young children to spell in a text input box the image they see - typically banana, apple etc. I have a text input box into which they spell the word. A button they click to check their answer and a dynamic text box which displays either Wrong or Well done. The code I have applied to the button is pasted below:
on (press) {
if (answer1.text.indexOf("banana") != -1) {
show.text="well done";
} else {show.text="wrong";
}}
The problem I am having is that if they have a variant of the answer in the input text box it displays correct. For example, with the code above, the following answer would receive a correct response - "bananananananan". Is there any way to slightly tweek the code so that they need to spell the exact word? I have noticed that this works the same for simple maths questions. 5 + 5 with an answer of 1000 will give a correct response because somewhere in the answer is 10.
I would like to point out I have spent from 11PM last night to 4:30AM this morning searching the internet trying to find examples and ideas but I just cannot seems to find anything. I need to create a Flash Quiz with the following:
1.) A page with a question, including a "submit" button, and an Input Text field where the user can type in his answer.
2.) A page with "Correct" and a page with "Incorrect"
I have already gotten the pages and graphics created. But for the life of me my Action script is not working. I have boiled it down to the fact that maybe I just haven't named the input text field with the right variable?
EDIT: I need to use AS 2.0 and not 3.0
Quote:
on (release) {
if (answer == "2") {
gotoAndStop("correct");
[code]....
No matter what answer I select, it will always take me to the "incorrect" box. So I am convinced it has to do with the "IF FUNCTION" and it not being the right name.
