View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a simple login page but coming across a number of problems. Firstly I have a text field - in the properties section it is classic text and Input text. However when I runt the flash file. I am not able to input anything in the text input, Why?
I should mention I am using CS5 - I get a silly runtime warning: Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.
The last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit. I remember I used SWISH Lite to create a typing effect (as a blinking cursor is typing a line of text one by one) and later i just could take this generator animation of my text and add it to my Macromedia Flash.I have installed the new SwishMax Trial, but I really don't recognize where I have to go in order to get this text effect generator running.
View 14 RepliesI'm wondering if there is a way I can see if a user is typing into a input field.
Like if they are typing into the field a variable = 1
And if they are not or the field is empty it is = 0
is it possible for a user to enter a frame, be able to type their name into an InputText field, and then drag it around the screen?
View 5 RepliesI want to have a text field that, if a certain letter is typed in it, shows (visible = true) a certain movieclip. I need to cause 26 separate movie clips, (or one movieclip with 26 frames, one per letter), to respond to each letter of the alphabet when letters typed in the text field.
View 1 Replies my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
Where do I look that would effect the keyboards input like this? It worked fine before and I haven't been playing with the text at all. I recently added external interface then commented it out and still doesn't work. The font is _sans which usually displays every language fine.

View 1 Repliesbest way to create an effect as if text was being 'typed' onto the screen (i.e. text appears 1 letter at a time, not as a single block)?I was considering creating an array containing each letter that needed to be typed, then using a timer to display each letter in turn... but this seems rather inefficient, is there a better way to go about this?

So, I drew a circle using the ellipse tool, I selected the black cursor, clicked on the circle, F8 - made it into a Movie Clip.

Right now I have this one kink in it that Ican't get passed.I have class HeatmapComponentController which is a simpleclass extending another class BaseCompoentController.HeatmapComponentController is the DocumentClass of another moviecalled heatmap_component.swf. After my BulkLoader's COMPLETE eventis fired (having fully loaded the swf) I try to use theLoadingItem.content as a BaseComponentController... like so...
private function _onLoadComplete($evt:Event) {
var _baseComponentController:BaseComponentController =

I need to find an example of a pop up menu appearing in a textarea when the user types a certain word.For instance they are typing and when they type dog a list of dog types appears.Then arrow keys can control which dog type they pick and it would put the word they selected next to dog. It's an autocomplete suggestion box.
View 0 RepliesI've been working in CS5, with an older FLA I originally built in CS3. On the timeline, I have different MCs and button symbols which need to stay in the same coordinate position. Usually if I notice some sort of 'wiggle', I will go and check the position coords by hand, updating the x/y position by typing numbers directly in the Properties panel.
However today, I repeatedly saw the coordinates change -by themselves- after I typed and hit Enter. For example, typing '165' in the Y field changed immediately to '164.95'. With one symbol, this behavior continued, no matter what I typed, with the number changing by 10 pixels sometimes, every time I just selected the symbol. Not only was I not able to keep the symbols at the same coords (I tried making them all 164.95), the 'automatic decimal' numbers would actually change further, as I was trying to correct them. I was only able to resolve this by creating an entirely new MC symbol in the Library, and placing it on a new timeline layer.
I've noticed this sort of behavior before in CS3 and CS4 (the CS4 Alpha slider never wanting to go to 0 or 100%), but never to this extent, or as consistently. It's gone from an annoyance to a genuine problem in my workflow.
For example, a book designed as a note.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to make the flash as3 compiler require static typing? I've got a bad habit of not doing it, and it'd be nice to make it throw compiler errors. In the publish settings for as3, I turned on "strict" but that didn't really change anything.

View 2 RepliesI am modifiing a flash-application and have got quite far. However, I am stuck with a problem: it is not possible to type in the Danish letters ������ in the application UI, it does simply not respond to these. This is probably because the letters were not embedded/included in the external font file (which is a swf), that the application use as a resource. I have tried to swap the font swf-file with a homemade one but it does not seem to be wellformed, since the application now does not allow any writing at all.
View 0 RepliesI have a class. Let's say it's a video player and I have a library of art for it. So I now want to load the swf of this video player into another project and type it as videoPlayer (class file).
The problem with this is the class starts looking in the parents library for the linked art. A simple fix is copy over all the objects with a linkage id from the original video player fla. But I would rather not to reduce file size.
Flash file wont show up on page unless you type in direct location. I am working on a website called phocusmag and I am trying to get it to have coming soon on it so I created a swf file called index but it wont play unless you type in. Phocusmag.com/flash/index.swf
For the life of me I cant figure out why it wont go to it...im using dreamweaver cs3 to create the page

I narrowed the causes of an AS3 compiler error 1119 down to code that looks similar to this:
var test_inst:Number = 2.953;
trace(test_inst);
trace(test_inst.constructor);
I get the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property constructor through a reference with static type Number." Now if I omit the variable's type, I don't get that error:
[Code]...
So what's the deal? I like explicitly typing variables, so is there any way to solve this error other than not providing the variable's type?
