Professional :: "NaN" (or Maybe With "if" And "else") - Users To Have To Enter Text Into Every Field
Jan 23, 2011
I am putting together an office space calculator. I have several text fields that will be added together to give a "Total" answer. I do not want users to have to enter text into every field. For instance, a section of the calculator will calculate "Coffee Area" space. If there is no "coffee area" in their office, this text input is useless and needs no input. However, I noticed that empty text fields return a NaN in my Total field. Obviously, this will not do. I worked out a script like such to fix that:
The input fields are a 'Classic Text' input field, and part of a Flash app I made last year for a client. The Flash was made with Flash CS4 on a Mac OSX 10.4, and was published last year and has been working all year.At some point recently I upgraded to Flash CS5 (this time on a PC), and I also had to re-compile the Flash app for a miscellaneous reason (a new image in the app). I left the publish settings alone (Flash 9, AS3) and re-published the Flash and put it up live. As far as I can tell everything was fine.Now the client is coming to me saying they can't enter numbers on the input fields, only letters !!!Aside from the transition to CS5, or an upgrade in Flash Player in the browser, I can't think of what else would cause a problem.
In troubleshooting this, I did notice for the first time the feature of 'TLF Text'. I have never used it, but when I copy the form MC to a test file and run it with TLF fields, they accept all characters including numbers. When I switch a field back to Classic Text, I can no longer enter numbers.
I have a input textfield 200x150 where customers can write their address.
Problem: Address is written like: Avenida de presidente Calle no 2
How can the line break be recognized in the Text field, so the text arrives in the format as written? The text field also has a >restrict<, it does not allow
I'm having troubles with textfields. I have numerous textfields on the stage but it's happening to all so I'll just describe one.Lets say I have an input textField named that I restrict to allow only numbers 0-9:inputText_txt.restrict="0-9";That all works fine.THE PROBLEM:When I select the field (which initial value is set to "0") and hit delete it clears the field and if I press ENTER it will accept that as a value.I've tried this code to say if it equals " " then to not save the file....
I have taken over an old project of a registration page after a short quiz and for some reason it is not possible to enter special characters in the text input field. example: @ but it is also not possible to enter a y or a capital W and some others. I have not found any thread or google infos on this problem and am short of reprogramming the whole thing in as3 which is very tedious because the whole site is still running as2 and we do not have time nor money to update.
using buttons to enter digits into a dynamic text field. An example would be an atm machine, where you select digits 0 - 9, you can hit OK or Cancel to clear the field. I can use...
on (release) { AddDigit("1"); }
...to enter the individual digits.Things that I am unclear about:
(1) How do I link the various buttons to the specific text field.
(2) How do I create the OK button to initiate another action, such as playing a movieclip etc.
(3) How do I cancel the items currently in the field.
I have looked over various tutorials on making calculators, but it is very complex for my skill level.
I have a search box in my flash file and I'm trying to have it execute a getURL() when the enter key is pressed inside the text field, but nothing is happening. Can someone let me know what the issue is?
If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?
I've created a dynamic text field - mediaImportName001 (created , and populated it with the name of a file that I choose to import using a browse button (as3 and AIR).This works fine - I can import the file, and the name appears in the field.
I'd now like to pass the contents of the text field to another text field. But I can't get the contents. If I try to trace the contents of the textField trace("mediaImportName"+thisNum).text - Flash returns "undefined" (even though I'm asking it to trace after the field has been populated).
I use the following code to check that the field really is there and named correctly (the code returns the children):
my question is what is the best way to have a countdown timer so all users enter the game at the same time. At the moment i am using php to get the time from mysql database and send it to flash, but the time is different for each user, would the best way getting the time from the server. this is the code i am using at the moment.
as3 code
ActionScript Code: var load:URLRequest = new URLRequest("lobby.php"); load.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
I am working through the Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book.The exercise is to enter TLF text onto the stage, when I do so all I get is a blue outlined box that appears in the upper left corner of the stage. I do not get a text cursor.When I open the supplied reference file for that chapter it also shows a number of blue outlined boxes, all in the upper left hand corner of the stage. When selected the properties manager indicates they are TLF text.
When I'm typing and press enter I expect a new line to be created, but instead the text goes to the very beginning and writes over what I've already typed. Does anyone know what setting is causing this?
I have a files that is loading and parsing a huge amount of data from a csv file and creating and plotting a graph using the data. All is well if I have the file loaded on the first frame of the movie. But if I pass in the URL by entering the file name in a text input field and clicking a button. The X and Y axis values disappear as do intermittent notes placed above the bar graph. I still see the x and y axis and it's hash marks and the bar graph (shapes) but all of the text is gone.
Im using a standard font (Gotham rounded) within a dynamic text field. As soon as I embed the numerals within this text field the text lowers within the text field.Double clicking the field then renders the text higher up! It seems that the height it shows when I double click is the height it compiles atThe other strange and annoying thing is that my colleague working on the same project is using the exact same font and same file but this doesnt happen to him and so the font redners out differently when he compiles
So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?
I have a test field that I've created dynamically. If I add text to it by writing: myField.text = "some text" the text appears, but if I add text using a variable I don't see anything. If I trace the text field's text trace("text = " myField.text) I get the right value.
I know how to enter information into a field using a button or an event, but I can't find any material on how to do it with the enter key. I want it so you can just enter something into an input field and press enter, instead of using a button.
I'd like to create a combobox which will get users from an arrayList & another field for creating a new user. for example when i open the combobox i'd like to see the rows :
Create new user User A User B
where the users come form an arrayList and the "create new user" option is always there.
How can I do it?P.S I don't wan't to add "create new user" obj to the arryList - so this is not a desired solution.
I'm building a site for someone that has dynamic text fields inserted as objects in the timeline. These text fields aren't interactive, they're only dynamic to allow scrolling and external links. I need to be able to tab right a couple of times (like you would in a word document) to arrange a handful of lines of text in a tabular format. I want to be able to do this to just a couple of lines in the middle of the body of text, not as a separate table, but the tabs need to behave like regular tabs in that the text will always align correctly.
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
For an input field - i need to have some action when user enters something in the input field and hit ENTER.I am using this: but with this user can hit enter anywhere on the screen and get the action- i need to have it only when user selects the input field.
Code: myNewObject = new Object(); myNewObject.onKeyDown = function() {[code]...
Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..
I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
I'm able to use a .txt file with basic html elements inside to display correctly. But I now have a structured document done in ms word. If I copy the html and try to save as a .txt file it will only allow to be saved as .rtfis there a way to preserve all the font, breaks and styles from a doc saved in .rtf or can I do this in a different way.
I have imported an object "DD_dropdown_clip" from the stage with this code:
[Code]...
The object is a black field. The fn "setup" writes text on this field. The problem with the code commented out is that it changes the alpha of both the black field and the text, whereas I simply want to change the alpha of the black field. How can I do this? Can I do it in the IDE?
when published my flash won't type text into input fields (unless there's already text typed in there before publishing) the cursor doesn't appear although the pointer changes to indicate an input field.
I'm trying to figure out Flash CS5 on my own, and this should be easy, but... All I want to do is validate that the text entered in a text field is a number when a button is clicked. It can be a positive, negative, or decimal, but no letters or symbols.
I can't understand how I should do to make a dynamic text field in cs5. I have tried to find a solution in weeks now and there is always the same answer. (Window > Properties), select a text type from the pop‑up menu to specify the type of text field: Dynamic Text.But the thing is that I can not find where in the properties I can select the type of text field. Where can I find It?? I have my properties panel on the right side and not at the bottom of the page.
