ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Panels/windows So The User Can Enter Numerical Values Then Submit Them Via A Button?
Apr 25, 2011
I'm currently underway in designing the UI for my game's level editor, I'm not using Flash's build in UI components instead I'm doing it from scratch using OOP.I want to have buttons, drop down menus, panels/windows that contain text fields and buttons.
At the moment I have the buttons down whenever one is created it is added to a static class's static array, and given a unique id number dependent on how many buttons have been created and added to the array so far.I figured this would be good as whenever a button is created I could apply an Event Listener looking for a MouseEvent.CLICK. Then just using the event.currentTarget.getID(), to find out what button has been pressed.
I'm about to start making panels/windows so the user can enter numerical values then submit them via a button, which will also close the window. I was thinking about doing more of the same and having static classes for each input type which lists all instances of that type of object.
This is something I've now tried for several weeks. I know it can be done because I see the swf files but after an all nighter and this being the third time that I've revisited this figure it's about time to ask the pro's.
How does one have calculations or conversions happen instantly as values are entered? No submit button, no enter, just as they type. So if they entered 1 in input box one then obviously nothing will happen but uppon entering data in the second I want the results text field to display the answer. So basically an eventlistener but not listening to a button but rather the input text field.
I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame. What I want to do is essentially remove the button and only have to hit the enter key to submit my text and to move to the specified frame. Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
[Code]...
I'm trying to just hit the enter key instead of having to click the submit button. I've been trying to get it working for the past couple of hours but haven't had any luck. My best guess is that the enter key isn't valid because it's an input box and may be confused with trying to create a new line (even though my input box is set to single line and not multiline). If so, is there any other way to do this?
i have a simple matrix form that consist of 3*3 textfields. my problem is how to get the values that the user will enter into it by a loop, i mean not using a long way such:
I have a separate html page that does this with a php script,reating that php file which is just a form that allows users to enter a passcode that I provide them which will then simply link them to an external html page. Since I don't know about php, I am thinking a possible work around would be to have a text input box which would allow a user to enter (passwordA) then click Submit to load (pageX.hmtl) or they could enter (passwordB) and Submit would load (pageY.html)
I have been using flash AS2 for about 12 months but I'm totally at a loss with something that seems totally straightforwards...How can I input only numeric data so that AS recognises it as numbers not text?in the test below the input field in _root.myNumand I'm using a button (_root.in2) to test. I've tried:
Code: this.in2.onRelease=function(){ var numVar:Number = parseInt(_root.myNum);
I used to use flash years ago, and have only recently come back to it in my course in university so im very rusty.
What i am looking to do is in flash create two sliders where the user can slide along to their shoe size, and their weight, so that as they do that, the numbers in two other boxes will periodically change to help indicate what size snowboard they need to get.
eg. as user makes shoe size slider go along to larger sizes, at certain points the number in a box labelled board width will increase.
also as an added touch I would like a character to actually increase in size as the slider is used, I'd imagine for this I would need to have a movieclip of the character getting bigger and allow the slider to progress through the frames of this movieclip.
XFL is the new uncompressed ADOBE FLASH (CS5) source file, it consists from XML definitions, most of them are clear but unfortunately, the important one are strange. Looking to various existing sources, I can see shape's EDGE definitions like:
how do I sort the list component by numerical values? At the moment, the sort sorts as follows 1 10 100 2 20 200 3 30 300...i want it to be 1 2 3 10 20 30 100 200 300...I am using the following code to accomplish this.[code].Is there a way I can reuse my listeners because basically the actions of the lists are the same...when you mouse over the elements I want the booths to highlight.when you click it zooms to a booth and highlights it something else...I am accomplishing this by duplicating the listeners [code]
This ActionScript is creating reading an XML file, and laying out thumbnail images. I'm stuck though! Each thumbnail is given a value of thumbnail[x], going from 0-5. I wrote some mouse actions and need to access each thumbnail's number, not entire name (where I have it in red below).
So I tried to make an exam and I came up with a few issues. The exam is located here:My third problem is that after I add all the questions (multiple choice/checkbox) on each frame, how does the submit button have to be in order for a member to submit his exam.
I am making a little banner for my site that makes different offers based on geo location (zipcode). I have the code working pretty much except for a few elements I want.
1) I want the input box to say "Enter Zip Code" until the user clicks on the input box. Then it clears out and the user can enter their zip code. The text box at this point should only take in 5 digits and no more.
2) Instead of having to click on the button to submit the form I want the user to also have an option just press enter when they are on the input text field and it process the form.
I am using Flash CS5 with AS2
This is the code I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
Code: TraceOutputFileEnable=1 trace('this is the begining of the code'); var nameText:String = "Zip Code";
I am using a for loop which creates 4 panels inside a tabnavigator. the problem is the panels all display in a vertical row. I am wanting to have two panels in row one then another 2 panels under that in row two. Not 4 in a vertical line.
I am a vision impaired developer who needs to enlarge the text in the user interface of CS4 Flash Professional. Is there a way to increase the font size for the text in the user interface of the application, menus and panels for example? I have not been able to find any setting in the preferences for doing this.
I am basically having a problem in submiting the users score and name to the database table. When the user reaches the final score screen they are shown two dynamic text boxes that display there total result and a input text box where the user can enter their name. I have done everything and it still don't work. I know I can receive the data but I don't get why it doesn't submit it to my table. The input text box has a instance name of "playername" Score total dynamic text box 1 "correct_total" Score total dynamic text box 2 "wrong_total" I have also attached an image of my database table [URL].
I need to have a search box, and when the user types in a term and hits submit, I want it to go to a URL and add "srch=<whatever is typed in the box>" to the URL address. In other words, if you type in "Cattle dog" as your search term, I want the URL to read "http:[url]..... This should be so easy. I have a TextInput box called "search_txt" and a submit button called "submit_txt".
I have an HTML form that I want to upload to MySQL with PHP. That part's easy, but the thing is I want the submit button to be a Flash object. Somehow I need the Flash button to submit the form, but I think I can figure that out. The tricky part is that I need it to set another PHP variable before submitting the form. The variable will be determined by a bunch of stuff, but I can code that in actionscript later. I just need to figure out how to pass the variable back to the webpage. A $_POST variable would probably be fine.
edit: What if the flash object returned some javascript and set a variable that way? making it submit the form as well while still catching a variable?
I have a lot of pictures I need to be able to have two specification windows where I can enter a f-stop and shutter speed and when they are entered it displays the corresponding picture or pictures.
Is there a setting that can be adjusted to keep the panels (ie Output Window, Actions, etc.) in Flash CS3 from 'sticking' to each other and forming panel groups? Most of the time I just want to slightly move a panel and it automatically snaps to another one, re-adjusting its dimensions and visibility.
I have an animation of a ball that I want to enter the user's screen (browser window). Basically,it would be off-screen for a few seconds, and then enter from the left, and stopping in the middle.
I have a free text which allows the user to enter stuff. But that text box needs to be a 24bit hex string ONLY.How do I restrict this so that it only allows 24bit hex strings.
Code: 000000 . .
FFFFFF
I've thought about creating a regular expression to parse the whole string then return a message. But what would be even better is if the thing worked at run time so that the user can never enter an invalid string.
I am working with a downloaded component that moves separate panels horizontally with an ease. there are 4 panels and they are controlled by 4 buttons to make them move.The code for the panels is:
onClipEvent (load) { targetx = 46.0; delay = 8;[code]... T he code for each button is:
on (release) { menu.targetx = 46.0; }
The value changes with each button to move the panels.My question is the buttons are actually buttons and I want to make them into movie clips but when I do that and apply the same code it does not work. Can this only be done with "buttons"? I am trying to create a portfolio section that slides from panel to panel by thumbnails and left and right arrows.
The code that I have is meant to validate that the user doesnt enter the same number more then once (e.g. 12,2,3,4,5,12), and that they dont enter numbers out of the range 1 to 49 (e.g. 12,4,32,34,66,17). What code do I need to add do that they HAVE TO enter 6 numbers? So they cannot just enter say one number and press the 'submitButton' and it will work. Also with my code as soon as the 'submitButton' is pressed it just goes to frame 12, without doing the validation.
ActionScript Code: submitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, numbersChosen); function numbersChosen(e:MouseEvent):void { var index:int = -1; var num:int=0; var numbersChosen:Array = new Array (); [Code] .....
my question is to count how many correct answer the user will enter. if the user enter the same correct answer twice,the 2 same answers will not be count and the other 2 answer will be check whether correct or wrong. If the next 2 answer is correct markk will be add. Take note that i have 5 answers for this question but the user only has to enter 4 of the answers only.
