View 2 RepliesI've got a main input textfield. When I put focus on one of the other textfields and that textfield is empty I want the focus to return to the main input textfield.
But though the focus seems to change (without setselection all the inserted text of the main textfield is selected, meaning focus is put back to it), the input caret stays inside the empty textfield and it is keeping it's focus.
How can I get the focus AND the input caret back to the main textfield?
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var someListener:Object = new Object();
someListener.onSetFocus = function(oldFocus, newFocus) {

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 want to initialize a Flash asset to have a flashing cursor in an empty input field. I tried each of the following two ways with no luck:
1. Selection.setFocus("input_txt");
2. Selection.setFocus(input_txt);
I tried these alone in an empty fla with only the input textfield input_txt on the stage.
The other threads on this exact problem are several years old. Has something changed in for CS3 that it doesn't work.
If I put text in the field, it will be highlighted but that is not what I need. Just a flashing cursor.
I am using actionscript 2.0, and I actually have a simple question: the TextInput.text property returns the text string in quotes. However, I am calculating something and don't want it in quotes. How do I get rid of the quotes so I can calculate stuff?
View 2 RepliesI'm dealing with an inline hyperlink in a textarea filled with htmlText. I'm getting incredibly vexxed by this problem with having to click the link twice.I have learned here that this is because the first time a link is clicked, the text area receives focus. Then links become activated. The workaround for this, according to the article, is:
solve this by setting mouseOver = textFieldID.setFocus();
I really wish he'd set this in context, because no variant I've tried works.
Code:
mouseOver=showText.setFocus();
and
Code:
showSlice.mouseOver=showText.setFocus();
cause the link not to work at all. showSlice is the movie clip containing the textfield, which is called showText.This isn't as bad, but you still have to click the link twice (because I don't think this is doing anything at all):
Code:
showSlice.onRollOver=function() {
showText.setFocus();
};
It's a dynamically created textfield, and I am using AS2 in Flash 8. Code in full for this textarea is here:
Code:
var showText:TextField=showSlice.createTextField(instanceName="showText", castMems, castX, castDrop, castWidth, 100);
showText.embedFonts=true;
showText.multiline=true;
showText.setStyle("backgroundColor", "transparent");

View 9 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 {

I have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.

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..?
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

View 3 RepliesI have a DateField component in Flex and I want to stop any user input. If I set the editable to "false" then it stops users changed the bits of the DateField box. It does NOT however stop them from clicking on the calendar icon next to it and updating the date. Is it possible to disable this? I basically want the component to be read only under some circumstances but not for it to have any alpha overlay. Therefore I want to use editable rather than enabled.

I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
