ActionScript 3.0 :: User Inputted Text: Determining If A Specific Character Is Correct?
May 4, 2010
I'm creating a learning activity for one of our biology classes. The basis of the activity is to test students ability to transcribe and translate DNA into other sequences.I have a dynamic text field where the student would type in a 36 character squence.
I already know that I can use an if statement to see if all 36 characters are correct. I was wondering if there was a way to individually check each letter the student typed in is the correct one for that line. So if UUAACCGG is the correct answer, I want flash to check and see if the third character is indeed A or not.

I know I can do this with 36 individual text boxes, but I was kind of hoping to get away with just one big text box.

I'm wondering if purepdf has the ability to save formatted text from a user-inputted text field. If so, how is this achieved? From what I understand, purepdf is basically iText, and I believe iText has the ability to parse HTML and save formatted text into a PDF. Does purepdf have that same functionality that I can tap into and plug in 'textfield.htmlText' somewhere?

I'm trying to do a check to see if the user inputed a number into an input text field. I'm also running a check to see if the user has left the input blank (which works just fine), but I can seem to get the NaN function working.
(using actionscript 2.0 w/ flash CS3)

this.btn_step1next.onRelease = function() {
if ( zipcode.text == "" || zipcode.text == isNaN() ) {
message.text = "Please enter your ZIP code to continue.";
} else {

i am having a problem restricting an input text im not sure if this has to be done in two ways or can be solved in one. what i want to do is only allow letters to be inputed which have not been inputted before and the empty box to be imputted i have tried
imput_txt.restrict = "a-z^Letters_str";
but this seems to only let me enter the letters except for LETRST ive tried putting the string outside the qutation marks and other variations i have also tried it with /'s around and before the string.

I have been instructed to develop a banner that has a text field for a user to input a zip code and when they click locate, a URL is opened with a static url.com address + the zip code they entered.
For example [URL]
When user inputs the zip code 92912, a getURL is opened with the website located [URL]
what actionscript I have to use to add the input text to the end of the URL, or how this can be done?

I've run into a little bit of a wall with TweenLite (AS2). It isn't really an issue with TweenLite so much as my lack of understanding, and I'm hoping someone will be gracious enough to educate me.I'm using TweenLite to tween the _xscale and _yscale of a movieclip The issue is that the end _xscale and _yscale values will differ depending on the original size of the movieclip. I need to reduce the _xscale and _yscale until the movieclip's width is less than 620. I've created a pretty clumsy way of doing this:
Code:
center._alpha = 0;
center.onEnterFrame = function(){

How should I go about matching the selected row of a sorted DataGrid to its source data row within its associated data provider?
For example, once a user sorts a DataGrid by clicking on one of the column headers, the target.selectedIndex from the CHANGE event (generated next time a row is selected) represents the index of the sorted row and not the index of the data as supplied by the data provider. Is there a simple way to map the index of the user selection back to the index of the original data?

I have a stage listener for keyboard events, that triggers one of two error checking functions for text field inputs depending on which movieclip the fields are in. Text fields in certain movieclips trigger a function that checks if the entry is between a certain numerical range, whereas the textfields in the other movieclips test to make sure the text fields aren't left empty.
It works fine apart from me not accounting for keyboard events other than letters, numbers and punctuation, or, among others, the Shift key.
So what's happening now is that keyboard events outside of numbers, letters and punctuation are triggering an output error.
The listener I'm using is:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, KeyPressed);
KeyPressed is a function that determines which error checking function to run depending on which movieclip window is open.

I'm making a little program that has to count specific characters in a string. Let's say the user inputs a name (I.e. "John Jabbadoo Jackson") and I need to count all the o's in the string. In this case it should be 4. How would the script look like?

How can I turn every specific character in a word in a textbox to specific color? this works like highlighting. If I have the word Jeeves in TextField object, I would like each occurrence of Jeeves in this TextFIeld to become red or any other color. In AS2 I had to search the text for keywords and use the TextFormat class. and then handle keypresses for the textbox for highlighting as the user is typing. How can a highlight a text in dynamic text field?
My pseudo code is given below:
/***Handles Keyback, it should delete the pevious char entered in the text box*/
private function handleDelCharEvent() {
aArray[nCurCharInd] = "";
Text_mc["TextEntry_txt"].text = "";
stmpTxt = "";
if (nCurCharInd > 0) {

I have a flash site that has a presentation page it has a menu of two buttons (1) to take you to a slide show and (2) that takes you to the gallery. These are the only two buttons that seem to work in control test movie, I get no errors. The only button that is connected is the slideshow button (I haven't done the gallery yet). This button takes you to frame two. Where I have the main website. It has its own menu that spans across the entire website which is 25 frames.
Each frame represents a new page. I have mini menus at frames 3, 5, and ten. That are supposed to just advance the user to correct frame labels and stop. The only buttons that work are the ones in the first frames. The rollovers appear to work on all the pages when I advance the movie using the [ . ] key but I get no trace statement which means that it is not being acknowledged, all my buttons are named properly I believe so here is the code as well, all is in frame one:
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Location.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Guest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Lodging.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

I've read many solutions on the board about displaying correctly your Flash emmbed site in way to fit the browser screen of your visitors. I've tryied also many suggestions, and I can't get it right. I need to have my work look like this site [URL] The main flash movie used is 1200 x 626. I've copied the index.html and adjust for [URL] The main flash movie used is 1200 x 600. As you can see, the result is different, the site doesn't fits the screen, and that's what is getting me crazy,

I want to modify the Flex 3 TextInput control to accept a tab character as valid input (The app allows the user to enter an arbitrary delimiter string for file output formatting, and tab is a common use case). However, clearly in the default implementation the tab key changes the form focus away from the selected control.

Is there any way I can embed HTML in flash? I know I can do this with text boxes but is there any other way I can do it? If not I know theres is the load feature where I can load text from a text file. With the html text box editing, Can i link that to the text file?. As in when you edit the text box with html could i have the textbox's instance name equal to the text file? With this my issue is with the <a href> in one textbox, I would like when i click those it open another text file in a different text box.
Clarification: I have two text boxes in my flash file.One has current products. And the other is the description of the product they select. I would like a way to edit and change the products in the first text box without having to keep using the FLA file. Which is why i am using this code
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {trace(e.target.data);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
The contents of myText.txt are <a href=(not sure what to put here)> Product 1 </a> But all that does is put it in the text output section in flash.It does not show it in flash. I need help getting it to show up in a text box.That is the first part But the main problem is im not sure how to code the a href correctly so that when i click it, another text file opens in the second text box.So that when a user clicks on a product ,like "Product 1" It opens the correct description text file in the second text box.
