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 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.
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?
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.
I'm trying to change the background color on a textinput component in flex 4. I've been able to change some of the appearance by messing with the canned code flash builder generates for the sparkskin but for some reason, background does nothing.I'm just trying to make the background black. I changed the background color but it's not working:[code]
I have been developing an application for the past couple of weeks and as of yesterday all of the textinputs have become uneditable. It seems like when you click on one it switches between the focusIn state and then back to the focusOut state.
If I drag a textInput from a component and drop it near the end of the another component, the textInput goes outside of the dropZone. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Group xmlns:fx="[URL]" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="150" height="500" xmlns:components="components.*" > [Code] .....
I have migrated my app from Flex 4.5.1 to Flex 4.6 and the TextInput click event was broken so I do this « skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" » (like was suggest here [URL]..and all seems work (tested in my Android and seems ok) but one user with iOS 5.1 complained that now the keyboard dont popup ?
Also complained for the TextArea that I dont have code in my extended component but also use the skin spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin so the layout became similiar in my textinputs.
i create a form for order a item in flex. i use <mx:TextInput /> for getting the information from client and use a <mx:Button /> for submit the information in database. But client requirements is when user click on button then first show a confirmation page with details information that client give. But can't use another page or <mx:TextInput /> in this confirmation page, it will be <mx:Label />. After show the confirmation page if clients click on Button then submit the info. How can i convert a <mx:TextInput /> into <mx:Label /> with all properties in flex? Is it possible?
In flex, I am able to add mouseOver ( in mx:TextInput ) event as follow: mouseOver="canvas1_mouseDownHandler(event)"It is not the property of TextInput so how can I do it programatically in ActionScript?
I am using Flex 4.5 and I want to set the maximum characters limit according to the textinput width means if user enter more character then the textinput width it should not accept those extra characters.
I have followed this tutorial to implement an IP Validator over a TextInput. But, I have not been able to resolve following error for some hours. Error: Could not resolve <flexScript:IPAddressValidator> to a component implementation. MasterTabNavigator.mxml /XflowGUI/src/view
Is there any way to create a textInput box for flex mobile with inline image without using textflow ?Basically i need a text input component , so that user can just use it as normal text input box but to it images can also be entered inline with text. To enter images user can select the image from list and that image will get inserted at the current cursor position.
the new TextInput component which uses stagetext on 4.6 has this issue where if you bind a variable on it e.g view1...
and i push a new view e.g view2, and pop it, hence reloading view1. on initial load, I can see that the textinput display the variable abruptly then the text vanishes afterwards..
I'd like to note that the variable is a stored data, and can be access on any view.
This probably has been answered. Does anyone know how to add several TextInput Components in ActionScript in Adobe Flex 4.6? Ideally, I like this functionality to be in a function when at button is pressed. I tried several examples that were posted but it would not render. For example:
[Code]....
Objective: Create several TextInput Components in a container without physical creating them in my mxlm body to make it appear it's a grid of m x n in various sizes of different instances.
On my application I have a login form. On application start, I want the focus/selected one is set on the user id textinput. I tried normal setFocus method and didnt worked. How can i make it work?
In Flex, how can one set the TextInput to "unselected" (which mean not only focus is out but also, that if you text on your keyboard, the TextInput won't be changed) on the event of pressing the Enter key? I know how to change the component that has the focus using the FocusManager, but I don't want to change the component that has focus, I just want this one component not to be selected.
I've got content coming into my application using a query and an ArrayCollection. I know how to display the content into a DataGrid by using the dataProvider propriety, but I'd like to use TextInput components and drop the DataGrid altogether.
I'm still having a problem all that displays is [object,object]
Here is a bit of my code.
[Bindable] private var acCon:ArrayCollection; private function reData():void //RETRIEVE DATA
So the real problem is the lack of an onReleaseOutside function. I found some examples of how to bypass this during a drag function but it was not applicable for a text input.The problem is that when a user selects some text in textinput and mouses off the application area and then mouses up, I'm getting a problem that the textinput keeps thinking that the mouse down is actively selecting text in the textinput and continually overwrites the characters being entered in the textinput. in the search bar of the live store on the page, type some text, then highlight it all and don't let up on the mouse until you are outside the store.I finally hacked some junk together so I can tell if the mouse goes off the stage using some code like.
var x = stage.mouseX;var y = stage.mouseY;if(x < 0 || y <0 || x >stage.stageWidth || y > stage.stageHeight)I'd like to just make the textinput stop thinking it should be highlighting text so that even if the user scrolls out of the applet and mouses up that the text input still overwrites what is in the search bar and functions as normal.
It works fine. My pointer goes over the textInput and it calls the function. But when I click inside the textInput to enter some text( focus is on the textInput) and then move the mouse (not taking mouse pointer outside of the boundary of textinput), the mouseover event is not trigerred.
If I use click event, then even if I am entering text ( or the focus is on the textinput) and then click, it will call the function.
How can I call the tester function on mouseover when the focus is on textInput?
I am working on a AS3 only project in Flex....I tried to listen ENTER event when use clicks enter/return in my textinput box....but it seems not working well...I did try using TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT and it worked fine but not Component.ENTER.
I need to create a Flex component similar to ComboCheck (by Arcadio Carballares).What I need is a ComboBox with CheckBox and TextInput instead of Checkbox's label.If CheckBox is selected the TextInput is enabled and editable, other way it's disabled.
In my Flex 4 application I have a spark text input. When the user pastes data from clipBoard it throws error if the clipBoard contains a different format (other than string). This is the error message I am getting. "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at spark.components::RichEditableText/handlePasteOperation() [E:dev4.0.0frameworksprojectssparksrcsparkcomponentsRichEditableText.as:3611]" Is there any way to handle this?
I might be taking crazy pills but has anyone actually gotten the errorSkin feature to work? I am not doing anything crazy, just extending TextInput (spark) and setting the errorSkin property.I have tried creating a skin using SparkSkin, did nothing.I have tried creating a skin using ProgrammaticSkin, did nothing.TextInput is always a red border. I know you can set errorColor and errorString but I am obviously looking to do more than just change the color of the border. I am compiling using Flex 4.1.
