Flex :: Format Data Input As It Is Entered
May 12, 2011
I am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so I set editable="true". The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.

In my Flex 3 application the user enters IP addresses into a textInput object. As the user enters the numbers comprising the ip address I would like to add the '.' on the fly rather than waiting until latter, so that if the user types 127000000001 I would like the textInput control to display 127.000.000.001. I've been trying to make a class that extends textInput and adds the '.'s to the object's text property in the Event.CHANGE or Event.TextInput handler. Sadly, my extra '.' never gets displayed, the numbers appear without dots just as the user typed them.

I'm trying to isolate words entered by the user into an "Input Text" (command). In a function that executes every time a key is pressed, I set a string, "newTxt", to the text entered.[code]This works fine; I'm able to check the string "newTxt". However, this checks the entire command rather than one word. When I replace line 2 with:[code]it freezes. In theory, it should add every letter until it reaches a space or ends, right? Could anyone find my mistake? Also, how would I go about checking for the second word (after a space)?

I have a textfield problem. I created a textfield (for input) and wanted to make some calculations using entered numbers. But it recognizes the inputs as a string. For example;
listen=new Object();
listen.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){[code]....
if I enter 12 in the textfield and press Enter, result is 123, not 15. How can i make it to recognize input as a number?

I am retrieving the details from the database and printing them in the XML format. It's working pretty good and can even display the same XML format in the Flex. However, I am not sure, how to save this XML file to give it as a data provider for datagrid.
Here is my JSP code :
<%
ps1 = conn.prepareStatement("select file from file where status='P'");
rs1=ps1.executeQuery();
[Code]....
I am using the following thing to get the details
event.result.body.people.toXMLString();

Im creating flash game that have the functionality to capture/record its gameplay that can be viewed later by the user, like a replay.
As for now Im already able to record the game and write it into a flv format in a ByteArray variable.
What Im working right now is how to send that ByteArray(the video file) to a php script and save it to a web server.
I've run into the URLLoader in flash where it can send the data and php will receive it thru the POST method. Unfortunately, the ByteArray containing the flv data must be first correclty encoded for php to read it. I figured this out from the example in the net where it does the same thing only that it is only sending a JPEG ByteArray instead of a FLV format using the JPEGENCODER.
Is there any existing class like the JpegEncoder for FLV format or any Video formats? Or any work around like creating the encoder my self?
here is my current code to send the ByteArray
//send byteArray to a php script
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

I want to have data called up when a certain number is entered, like a html page with text and pictures. If the correct item # is entered, the information is pulled up. Is this a good application for flash and actionscript? or for something like javascript and ajax? I'm brand new to both, but i'm very willing to learn.

I'm having an issue where the client wants me to format a string as it's being entered into an input box. It's part of an interest calculator The problem i'm facing is that I can format a string so that it comes out the way he wants but the problem is that I can't figure out a good way to rewrite the function so that it doesn't keep reducing the number as I'm typing it in, just adds the decimal places like he wants.

I have a website that is all flash. I have a main file that loads in the nav and then the nav loads in the designated .swf file for each section. So there are several sections(.swf's) with lots of text taken from a database and inserted into the swf file from
an XML file. If I click in between sections, and go back to the original section of text the formatting is lost. This is only in Internet Explorer 7- this does not happen in Firefox or on the Mac.

I'm using Flash CS4 and AS2. Currently I have a fully functional contact form in flash that works along with PHP.The problem is: anything you type in the input spaces is accepted and, thus, sent to my mail.Is there a way to impose a format to the input text? For example, the "e-mail address" field should be entered in URL... format and the "Name" or "Body" should not have less than 3 characters. If those conditions aren't met, the mail won't be sent.[code]

I am very new to action script, and using action script 2.0, I am having a problem getting an input textbox to read in mathematical formulas. To enter 5x^2, the key sequence to be used is {5}{x}{2}. i.e., the characters must be formatted as it is being typed.
Ultimately, I want to enter equations like 5x^2-4x-2.
The textbox should not allow non-numerical characters other than x.

Trying to connect an input text field to a dynamic text field - each with different formatting (font, size and justification). So far I'm just using the properties box to format the text. Using a.2.0. It works easily in a small test, but in a larger .fla, the results dynamic text field retains the formatting of the input field.

myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.align = "center";
[Code] .....
The problem now is that changes of myFormat (in size or color) don't have any effect on the text in the text fields. Why is this and how can I improve this? Did I forget to import a certain class again?

I'm fairly new to Flash (over the last few months I have followed Actionscripting in books and online tutorials and can do basics by essentially following the recipes, but am having considerably more problems putting it all together for my own program).
I am trying to create a program for my students that will take their text input in fields like author, title, publisher, date, place of publication, etc. and output bibliography citations in the proper format (complete with punctuation). What is the best way to handle the text formatting to add punctuation and make the citation entries? Your text tutorial on color and other properties is very good, as well as the input text that returns the words, but how do I go one more step to add my punctuation to the user's input?
