Actionscript 3.0 :: How To Add Pictures To Caret Point In Textfield
Jan 19, 2010
I am trying to make a textfield that I can add a picture to the caret point -- the problem is that I don't know what the caret point is in the HTML text -- my technecue for dealing with it is to search out a string that is next to my caret point -- as you can imagine this has problems. Like if the caret point is next to a bold tag or if there is two of the strings -- so I was trying to see if anyone new a better way to add pictures to a textfield
index is the caret number
[flash=]
var mytextpic:DisplayObject
editor.do_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ADDPICK)
function ADDPICK(event:MouseEvent):void {
var inString:String
[Code] .....

Is there a way to reset the insertion point of the caret to any position within an input textfield. I would like to reset it to position 0. The only thing I can find is caretIndex prop but that is read-only. I tried setSelection(0,1) but that didn't work either.

I have a numerical stepper,and a user can click on a textfield, then click the up and down arrows on the stepper to change the font size,i then try and set the focus back to the textfield and put the caret at the end of the textfield, but the stepper keeps focus anyway.Here is the event handler for when the stepper value is changed.Get the textfield's current format, change the size, set the new format, then focus on the textfield and set the caret position, but the caret just stays inside the stepper.
Code:
private function handleChangeTextSize(e:Event):void
{
var tField:TextField = Main.LAST_FOCUSED_OBJECT;[code]....
I've had problems with other components too with the exact same focus issue and the only solution i've ever come up with is to set a timeout for like 100 milliseconds to set the focus back then and it works. another way to do this without the "hack"?

Im having an odd problem--I have 5 input textfields on the stage, but for some reason when run in order to input text within the first two fields I have to click within those fields from around its middle all the way to the right.Otherwise, no caret shows up and no typing displays.The other fields all work fine--ie, I can click at their leftmost point and get a caret and start typing..I even used the same textfield(#3) to create fields 1 and 2 and still I have to click about midway or to the right to get the caret.

I am trying to display a text field that has text inside it, and display the flashing Caret at the end of the text. I have tried the following:
Code:
// ti_title is my textField
stage.focus = ti_title;
ti_title.setSelection( ti_title.length, ti_title.length );
[code]....
The field is focused because I can type into it, but I do not see a Caret until I have started typing. This is not very good for usability.
I have even tried removing text then re-adding it and then setting the selection again, but still not working.

I'm building part of an UI that suggests certain words based on to the user's input. (Quit like Google's suggestions) It works quite well but one detail bothers me: When I have a list of suggestions I highlight the list-items by listening to the arrow up and down keys. When the fist element is highlighted, and the user presses the up arrow, I want the cursor to be in the Text(Input)Field again, but at the last position.
(I removed the focus from the InputField not to move the cursor in my singel line field to the first position when the up-arrow is pressed)
I set the cursor to the last Position using setSelection() but as it is the field receives the key-press after my event callback is executed and the pressing of the up-arrow in a single line field does what it always does, it places the cursor at the first position.
I considered using the CHANGE event, but as the arrow key does not actually change the content of the TextField, that is not working. Still I think that the solution might be along that way, as the CHANGE event is/would be at the end of the event-chain, where I need to do the repositioning of the cursor.

I'm drawing a textfield onto a bitmap which I use as texture for a 3D object. I'm listening for Event.change, and so whenever the user adds a character I redraw the texture. But to really give the 3D object a 'interactive textfield feeling', I want to draw text selections and draw the caret (the blinking text cursor), but by default these a not drawn when using bitmapData.draw(textField), nor can I find a Event to listen for 'textSelected'.
//is there any event that catches text selection / blinking of text-cursor?
textField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, redrawTexture);
//...
//is there any way to draw text selection / text-cursor in the bitmap?
bmpData.draw(textField);

I'm trying to make a text effect where on every frame the textfield increases in size and decreases in opacity. I'm using the scaleX and scaleY properties of my dynamic textfield to enlarge, but it's doing so keeping the left registration point fixed. I want to make it scale up radially outward, or with the center point fixed.

I'm trying to create a scoreboard. Lets say 4 persons are playing, I made 4 textfields on the stage, named them scoreOne, scoreTwo, etc. Now I want to add 1 point to this textfield everytime I press a numpad. So, when player 1 earns a point, I'll press NUMPAD 1 and this point will be added to the textfield. Well, I wrote this code, but it only works once. I can use it for every player, but it's not possible to give them more then 1 point. What's wrong in the code?
I also tried to create a var, which stores the score. Isn't it easier to use a code that shows the var in the textfield, and if, how to do this? So far as I wrote the code the var isn't used yet, the only thing visible on stage is the (scoreOne.text = "" + 1;) part.

I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).

[URL] Take a look at that website. See whe you rollover one of the pictures, the other pictures fade out...Well how can I do that? I've tried some swapDepths techniques but it gets a bit confusing.

I have a login form with various textInputs and a submit button. If you submit proper login credentials the system unloads the login view and loads the app view. Pretty standard. Unfortunately I've noticed this weird bug where if you hover over one of the textInput boxes with the mouse, then fill the form using only the keyboard (and leave the mouse parked on top of the textInput), and then tab to the submit button and press the space bar, i.e. login via keyboard, the mouse cursor will remain a caret in the new view, no matter what you do (move, click), until you find another textInput to undo the cursor state. I've tried to do all sorts of stuff via CursorManager but nothing seems to do the trick. I've tried dispatching events ROLL_OUT or MOUSE_OUT events to the textInput but that doesn't do the trick either.

I have been working on a Flash touchscreen project for a year, and I'm currently trying to make it easier for users to add text half way into a message. The normal way to solve this, is to click with the "caret" and then keep typing.
I'm looking for a similiar iPhone caret. I'm currently using to find the location, but would like advice about how I could best replicate the iPhone caret hover.
Code:
testText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printCursorPosition);
function printCursorPosition(event:MouseEvent):void {
var tf:TextField = TextField(event.target);
[code]....

I've discovered a bug that is extremely confusing to me. Basically I have some text fields that are dynamically created, but once users start typing in them, the caret cursor slowly either falls behind the text your typing or sometimes get's way ahead of where your typing. The result is frustrating when you are trying to delete something because you aren't really sure where the caret actually is. I've attached some code that you can paste into an fla to reproduce the issue.

I have the strangest issue in Flex!Consider an <mx:TextInput /> with text. This textbox has focus and a nice little caret blinking inside. Now when you press the -> or <- button, the caret moves two positions instead of one! Also when you press the delete button, it removes two characters instead of one.This only occurs in Firefox, but it's not a FF bug because it only happens in my application.

I'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) {

Is there a method to set the caret position within a RichEditableText control? The control's contents can contain errors that the user must fix which are navigated though via Next/Previous buttons, and during the navigation I would like to set the caret cursor to the end of each error within the text.

I googled for almost a day to find the answer to my question: [URL]. This almost works (and is a great solution), but the solution doesn't work when I do:
1). Copy and paste multiple-line texts.
2). Write long and scroll the texts.
I also found another working example at: [URL]. (The autocomplete prompt appears when you press ctrl+space right at the caret's position). But an email from its author says he uses monotype fonts to calculate individual character's location. Is there a way to get multi-line input from a textfield?

How to set focus and insert caret in an empty text field in AS3

i'm attempting to simply set the caret position at the start of the text flow when it is first displayed, without having to click and activate the text to see the blinking caret.
googling returns that the solution is to do this:
textFlow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());
textFlow.interactionManager.setSelection(0, 0);
however, setSelection() is not a valid function of the selection or edit managers.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setSelection through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.edit:ISelectionManager.

I want to have the caret (flashing cursor) to appear when I set the focus to a text field. It works fine when the user clicks on the text field.
the following does not seem to work for me:
Code:
stage.focus = mytxtfield
mytxtfield.setSelection(mytxtfield.text.length,mytxtfield.text.length);
When I try this it merely focuses on my text field and no caret comes up! mytxtfield is the instance name of my input type textfield.

I have encountered strange problem. I have created simple Flash text field control and I wanted to compare its content with some other string. This comparison in triggered when user is pressing the button.In Action Script 2.0 code I noticed that a caret return character () was added at the end of the string coming from the input text field.It is easy to overcome the problem obviously, however I would like to understand what is going on. I use Flash CS4 with AS 2.0.

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.
