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.

Is there any way to handle it, or it can be only controlled by Flash Player?

I have a cart system I designed, in the check out process the user fills out their billing info and are given the option to check a box if the shipping info is the same.
I would like to have an event listener which looks for the box being checked and at which point changes the var's on the input texts for shipping to the ones used in billing info. So in essence checking the box will populate the shipping info fields.

View 3 RepliesI am build an Flash program to drill elementary math students.My problem.I am having the students enter in a Input Text box the answer to a Mathematical equation, i.e. 1+1= Input Text Variable. My issue is when I check the answer to see if it is correct Actionscript 2.0 sees the entered Input as text not a numeric value so I cannot compare it against the calculated value. How do I change the input text into a numeric value. I have tried declaring the var as Number but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a search angine for an application I am developing. I need my list to update itself every time there is a change in the Input Text box (backspace or additional character). I have no errors but the function does not work the way I want it to.
The function compares letters in a specific position within my 2 strings (charAt(j)) and disregards the previous letters, plus it deos not "update" but only adding new strings to my list.

I have a text box which I want to display a certain text on it when it loads, say, "demotext", for example. However, I want it to clear that text when the user clicks on it and then only displays stars when they type (as if it has turned into a password box when they clicked on it). So far I only have this:
ActionScript Code:
cancelcount.onSetFocus = function() {
cancelcount.text = "";

how do you change the TAB order of text input boxes i want to tell it what box to go to next depending on which one it is on now making a login form ..
View 2 RepliesFor example. I have a particle system with a set number of particles active on the screen at any time "numOfParticles". I am trying to be able to change "numOfParticles" to define itself based on whatever number you input in the input_txt field. So far I am able to display the number of particles into the input text box:
Code:
input_txt.text = numOfParticles.toString();
Now I want to be able to change that value based on user preference.
So far I have:
Code:
function changeNumber(event:Event):void{
numOfParticles = input_txt;
}
change_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, changeNumber);
But it's not working. I don't think I have the proper identifiers, because I know I'm supposed to attribute the input text field as a ":Number" somehow...
I have 10 text input. (txtin1, txtin2, txtin3,.....) I going to change the maxChars for every text input but I going to do that dynamic in a loop. I have tried

But nothing happened. I know that the variable "nr" and "maxnr" have a number.
I've got a form that the user enters numeric values in to a series of text Input fields. I want to allow the user to use the arrow keys in addition to the tab keys to control the active focus of the fields.

I 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 got an input function in witch i set all the variable i want to display. To make it clean i would like to input any number of vars without having to change my input function to avoid the "Expecting more/less arguments". Then i would like to get any type of var (bool num int ....) in the input and then check their type, instead of declaring the first input var being exclusively a number for example. Is that possible and how, don't know if i was clear,
