ActionScript 3.0 :: Capture Input Text From User - Buttons Generate Errors
Jul 6, 2009I'm using AS3 in timeline. I have a three page movieclip (dynamic_mc). Each page is labeled p1..p3. On p1 I have an input text box named userName and button named next_1. On p2 I have a dynamic text box named greetings_1, an input text field named schoolName and two buttons (back1 and next2).On p3 I have another dynamic text box named greetings_2 and two buttons (back_2 and next_3).
On p1 user enters name, which is captured on p2. Once a click next button on p1, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at FlashCS4_Curriculum_fla::lesson9_pg6_dynamic_122/frame10() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at FlashCS4_Curriculum_fla::lesson9_pg6_dynamic_122/goP2()
Why do I get an error when using buttons? Is there a better way to capture input text?
Here is the code by page.
//page 1 = p1stop();
var hisName:String;
next_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goP2);function goP2(evt:MouseEvent): void{ hisName =userName.text; gotoAndStop("p2");
} // page 2 =p2 greetings_1.text= "Welcome :" +hisName;var school:String;
//next buttonnext_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goP3);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Capture User Input When Hit The Next Button?
Mar 17, 2011I am creating a game that has a gender selection and name entry box on a screen. When users hit the next button, I want to capture which gender they selected and what they typed for their name. I tried using the code found on the adobe website, but that captures every letter typed in real time.
I just started learning actionscript this week, so I'm a noob at it. Currently, when they click on the button boy1 it erases whatevers in the dynamic text box playeronesex and adds the word "woman". When they click the button girl1, it erases whatevers in playeronesex and adds the text "woman". I also need to know how to capture which they finally chose when they hit the next button.
Heres the actionscript for this frame:
//next button
stop();
onbone.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, nextone);
function nextone(event:MouseEvent):void {

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Default Dynamic Text Auto-scale Font, Input From Input Text First
Feb 3, 2011I 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:

Apr 28, 2011the 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:
