Professional :: Input Text Variable Is Being Converted To HTML?
Sep 29, 2011
I have an Input Text box that has a variable assigned to it.The user is to input a number, and then it is submitted with a button that does a simple conditional if statement check. I noticed that the if statement is constantly failing because the variable is tracing back as HTML.The trace of the variable looks like this:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#0066CC" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">4</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
The variable should simply be the number 4 without all the HTML jibberish.The "Render text as HTML" is not on for the Input Text box.I am completely baffled and at a complete loss... any ideas of what is happening here?!Below is the exact code I am using...
TIMELINE
numA = random(10)
numB = random(10)[code]....

I have an input box with a variable name. When the user enters some text and presses a button that variable is sent to a php file using the GET method. Then the info is put into a database. When I checked my database, I found that a load of styling html tags has been included. I want for my input text box to have styled text, but I don't want that styling /html tags to be sent to the php file. I know I could use strip_tags in php to get rid of the html tags, but surely there's a way of not sending the tags at all, just the text content of my variable?

i created an input text box that puts the users input into a global variable, but when i test it it gives me not only what i have typed in but all the html formatting for the font that my input text box has on it.I only want the text that i have typed in to go into the variable but the wackload of html is going in there too. ive tried a few different things, rewriting my code, recreating the text box, changing settings, dont know what im missing.

This code corresponds to a quiz question where the correct answer is either blue or green. I get the #1009 error if I input "blue". The answer "green" seems to work ok. What's wrong with my code? Is there a better way to make is so more than one answer works? Something like "blue" or "green" or "otheranswer", etc..?

how I am making a site in flash they always say "flash is not the best choice, its obsolete now. because search engines and iPod/I phones + blackberries cannot read its content. The problem is, I fell comfortable using flash and think that it is a great tool, but am disappointed in a way that adobe has not optimized this application for the 2012 and beyond.
My question is it possible to take a site all done in flash and converted it entirely to html, and will it work? I have read articles about html5, and programs that can convert flash to html 5 but how accurate are there, are they any bugs with them?

I have a Flash form with four inputs (name1, email, phone, and message1). I use sendAndLoad() to send the variables to forms.php, which emails the message to me:
Code:
on (release) {
if (name1 == "" || email == "" || phone == "" || message1 == "") {
gotoAndStop(3); //go back and fill in all fields[code]....
I've used PHP's str_replace() to strip the variables down to just the text that was entered,

I have two separate projects I am working on, very basic, and the Input Text Box on one is only returning the value in HTML format... I cannot figure out for the life of me why.
The Input Text Box on the Stage has a variable assigned to it. I then have a button that checks the users input... the problem is, the input is being converted to HTML so the check is always failing. When I trace the variable it returns the following result[code]...

I'm trying to work out how to get an input text box, on the click of a btn, to send any text in it to a html page. I can do this in flash by having an input write to a dynamic text box but I'm not having much luck working out how to do this with a html page.
I kind of understand the document.write JavaScript and I'm getting my head round that now but I can't seem to find anything on the JS I need to do the above. Could someone point me in the right direction before my brain goes into over drive.

I have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)

I would like to make an input text field in flash as2. What I need is when the user write down an answer it will direct him to an html page I created. There are 3 answers and 3 pages, so they will write down one of the answer and when they will click "enter" they will be redirected. I understand you can do it with "if" statement but I don't know how!

What's the best way to restrict the user from entering html entities in a text input box.I want to allow then to enter stuff like dollar signs, pound signs and spaces but anything such as
ActionScript Code:
<> & ' / "
should be disallowed.Can I use the textfield restrict property or is that too complicated? Should I just parse what the user has entered them strip it out after?

I have an input field in which I am sending the text out of flash and up to my server. I wanted to read the input field text then apply html tags around it. Unfortunately, my technique is not working correctly as it does not read the input field but it does change the format. I think I am escaping it incorrectly [code]...

I have an input text field beneath a video and I want to put some html code in the input text field so that a viewer can select that text and put the embed code on their site (similar to youtube). The problem is that I want the input text field to be a certain width and the length of the code snippet exceeds that length. Is there a way to do it so that the part of the code that goes past the length of what I want my input text field to be is cropped, but is still selectable by the user? I've seen this done with html form fields, but not flash.

I need to create a Flash Quiz with the following:
1.) A page with a question, including a "submit" button, and an Input Text field where the user can type in his answer.
2.) A page with "Correct" and a page with "Incorrect".I have already gotten the pages and graphics created. But for the life of me my Action script is not working. The tutorials I have looked at would help me if I were making the quiz one total page where when you answered the question there would be a comment that came up, but that's not the case.

I'm using ActionScript 2.0 with Flash CS4 Professional, andI'm running into conflicting info on how to do this depending onwhich Flash book I'm looking at (and is that really a surprise?).1) I want the user to type text into a text field and thenFlash places what they've typed into a variable.So I created a text field of the type 'Input Text' andassigned this variable 'myInput'2) When the user presses a button, I want Flash to look atwhat is in the variable. THEN... If they have typed the correctword, they are sent to frame 19. If they type anything else, theyare sent to frame 38.In this example, the correct word is: "move"So, I placed this script on the button:
on (release) {
trace(myInput);
if (myInput = "move") {

I'm new to ActionScript 3.I have 2 frames. On the first frame two numbers are randomly generated and the user must enter their sum into the input text field (instance name: inTxt). They then click the OK button. On the solve frame their solution is checked against the correct answer.The problem is I can't access their solution from the input text field. I tried tracing it and get null. What am I missing?[code]

I have a form and I need the first Input Text Box to be automatically selected when the user goes to the page. I got this code and put it in but I am still have problems Use this in the frame that holds the textbox: Selection.setFocus("textboxname"); The name has to be in quotes.
When I put that code in and tested the movie it worked great but once I put it into an html page it doesnt work anymore. The text in the input box is still selected but it isnt on focus so the user still has to click in the text box to input the text. Is there a way around this?

I am working on a line rider/ free rider style game in flash (which is coming along quite nicely ). For the whole night I've been trying to create a way to save and load data simply off text and have finally come up with a basic solution for it! I have my information all stored into an array neatly to be later used with the function lineTo upon load. My problem here is that when I actually input the data into the textbox to be picked up by the load button it does not draw the lines like its supposed to.My load button has the following code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
onRelease = function() {
var points = new Array(_root.xInput);[code]......

I have a string of text, but within this text I want to input a variable at a specific portion of the text. Now this string of text is taken from an XML file. So the XML file would look like this for example:
Code:
<name>Sweep</name>
<type>ATK</type>
<target>AoE-EN</target>
<caste>Warrior</caste>
<desc>"This is a text"+temp.alias+"hey"</desc>
The <desc> is an example of a way I tried to make it work. What I want to happen is when I display the desc in my flash file, it inputs the alias (which in the xml is the name) of the item. In PHP this could be doing using EVAL() but I notice the support for that type of function is removed in AS3.

how to take what a user inputs into a s:TextInput and use that as a variable in a JSON data request? Basically, I want to have a user enter a search term, like "math" and then have that placed into a variable so I can use it in a JSON request. Something like public var q:String, except that my search box (and hence user input) is on another "view" of the application. I've just started with Flex Mobile applications and I might be way out of my league.
