I'm trying to use the restrict property of a TextInput field to limit the entry of minutes, so restricting the number of characters to 2, while restricting the first character to the range [0-5] and the second character to the range [0-9]
I've tried a billion things, but I'm not sure I'm going about this the right way,
This code works when I click in the text field and try to enter letters. ActionScript Code:
_root.InputTxt.text.restrict = "0-9"; However when I add this code to allow keyboard input, I can type other characters beside digits. Why is restrict not working?
[Code]...
Alright so I was creating a game in AS3 and then I was told that I should have put them in classes so I moved all the code to classes and I get an error from the ground class saying that Access of undefined property char. Here is the code to see what I need to add to it so char isn't undefined anymore.
Code:
var gravity:Number=1;
var yVelocity:Number=0;
var canJump:Boolean=false;[code]..........
Is it possible to do not allow pressing 'Enter' key? I'm using my_text.restrict property.

Whats the best method to set a limit on somethings _y property so it scrolls up and down, but has limits... everything I do ends up being quirky and not working just right.
I'm wondering if there are numerical limits for the values you can manipulate using the tween class.I am importing mx transitions and using them to manipulate the _xscale and _yscale of a movie clip.. If I understand correct.. x and y scale property is measured in percentage..
is there a limitation on the value I can plug in?
Can I scale.. say.... 1,000,000% (million)
how about 100,000,000,000 !!! (one hundred trillion)
How about limits on _x and _y position values..?to quell any curiosity, I'm essentially trying to control a movie clip that has the appearance of 'zooming' in with button clicks by increasing the scale..
I have need to restrict user input. TextInput should restrict all special characters and punctuation. Any other characters are allowed. In java there is a regex patter:
replaceAll("\p{Punct}", "_")
Is there something similar in actionscript?
I want to move my movie clip on x axis by 10 pixel on every 'left & right' keypress.how will I do that?
View 5 RepliesI'm using flash cs4 on a mac and I need to embed some characters to support greek, and probably a lot of other languages. The problem is, my Character embedding dialogue box is empty! There's nothing in it at all... I'm using Tekton Pro as the font for that dynamic text box, I tried using something more basic, Arial and Helvitica didnt work, still nothing to embed. I know the phrase that will be in it, at least the first one, when I put it in the "Include these characters" box and reran, all the dt box would show is an apostrophe. I put the phrase into the dt filed itself and "autofilled" it did the same thing. I also tried doing the same with the % character version ie %B6, it picked up that they were characters but still wasnt displaying right. I'm diverging.
View 3 Replieshow to get the charCode from the character but I cant seem to find out how to get the character from the charcode.
Basically I am I am listening for the KeyDown event on a TextInput.
I prevent the char from being typed via event.preventDefault();
Later I need to add the text-char to the TextInput.
I can get the charCode via event.charCode so if I can turn that into a string I can save it for later user.
Why I need it
Basically I am making a TextInput, that that I can set to display default text in it. When A user types into it, I want to remove the default text first then add the user typed text.
Currently I am either removing it all, or ending up with both.
I have a menu screen that for various reasons consists of a number of buttons as separate flash movies. When a button inside these movies is clicked, it is supposed to call a javascript function to move to the appropriate page. It works fine in firefox, but is currently failing in IE7. I don't have an IE6 handy to test on.This is the error I get in IE:[code]I can't locate what char 25 of line 1 might actually mean. I only get the error when I click on the button, and after installing Visual Web Developer to try and get some actual debugging, it doesn't seem to be actually firing the function that is called, so it seems like the error is happening in whatever mechanism actually makes ExternalInterface.call work?[code]
But as i said it doesn't even show up if I put a breakpoint here and debug it. If I put a javascript:gohere('id') link in the html screen and click that it works fine.I have ExternalInterface.call working in other parts of the same project, and can't for the life of me see any differences in the way it has been implemented.
I have created a text file with the following information:[code]The issue is that the "+" (plus sign") doesn't show at all? I have used the following code in the fla. to replace the special char's and it works for everything but the "+" sign![code]Does anyone is a problem or why the "+" isn't working?

If I import a font to the library, am I correct in assuming that it imports the massive character set (all). There seems to be no setting that I can see where to specify the glyphs or level of character support for example all the funny characters.
View 9 RepliesI have to make a game. in that game there are some notes on the wall. The character (here emma) can be moved by the player with the left and right arrow key. If you press the up key, there should be a function so that you have to keep it pressed for a while, to let her jump, thus making her jump to the notes, so she can get them.
here's the code:
//notes on the wall
var teller:Number=1;
for (var i:uint = 1; i<=4; i++) {

View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble with the new keyframing model in Flash CS4.Say I have a symbol that starts here, then moves over there, then waits, then moves back over there again, etc. etc.Using the new model, all of these movements seem to be considered the same and single tween.If I apply easing, the easing affects the entire range of keyframes. This doesn't make sense? I may want the symbol to slow down when it gets "there" and have different easing for different movements. Does this make sense?

I know how to use .restrict() to restrict or allow characters in a textfield, but how to I restrict just a double quote? "I tried with the two backslashes but that does not work.My only option seems to be to ALLOW a whole lot of character sets but leave out the double quotes. Is that truly the ONLY way?
