I'm looking to create an input field in my flash site where users can enter their email address to sign up for a newsletter, ultimately so the email gets added to our mailing list (hosted by constant contact).I can create the look, i'm just terrible at the science that makes it work.
View 15 RepliesI have an interactive map that I would like to script so that when a county is clicked, it sends through to a page called results.php this HTML table:
<form name="Merchant Details" action="results.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name= County>
<input type="hidden" name= MerchantType>
So County and MerchantType are fields in a SQL table. The script needs to tell the results.php page that County A and MerchantType B has been sent. Where A is the name of the county and B is ALL (the default i've chosen for MerchantType) I've spent the last 4 hours looking for answers but the only ones out there are how to do it in AS2.
I have the following problem. I created a very simple log in with two input textfields and a submission button. The problem is that people would type in their log in informations and then hit enter, which results in a page break for the password input textfield. I tried a few things like setting the input textfield to single line which did not make a difference. Then I tried to apply to on enter key action but had to realise that you can only apply this action to a buuton and not a textfield. Any help would be apreciated. I am working with flash 8 on a mac with osx...
on (release) {
if (name.text == "student" && password.text == "student") {
gotoAndStop("workPlacements");
} else if (name.text == "admin" && password.text == "admin") {
gotoAndStop("workPlacements");
} else
false_txt.text = "invalid password or username"
}
How come on my application, in the input fields, theres already txt in the fields? is there a way to get that deleted?
View 2 RepliesI have made two input forms, one for the subject and one for the message, and a button. Now, my problem is that I want the data from the form to go into the users email program in the right boxes.
I don't want the button to send the message!! Just open the message in the email program.
I have a site that contains approx 20 pages of lengthy forms. The forms exist on single frames within the flash movie. This application is used as a demo only, so I do not have a need to submit the form data. The demo is used to go back and forth from form to form and fill in mock data. The problem is when the user goes from form to form the data they have entered is not saved. Is there a way I can set all frames to remember the data entered into the form without having to set every form control instance? There thousands of fields in these forms and I am trying to avoid individually naming them and scripting them to save their values.
View 5 RepliesI would like to basically create an flash application that would allow a visitor to answer a few questions and then be presented with an image based on the answers provided via a form. If the generated output is not acceptable - I would like the visitor to be able to regenerate the output with a single click and continue to do so until the image is acceptable. The questions/process would be something like:
1. What is your favorite shape? (a drop down list of data from DB would be selectable)
2. what is your favorite color? (same as above option)
3. what is your favorite things to do? (this answer would work similar to a search and match keywords related to images within the DB and be placed in a designated area of the image)
4. what is your name? (first - last)
the results would then generate a image... Does anyone know where I can begin the process of making a application like this?
So, what I'm trying to do can't really be that hard, I still can't get it to work properly...
So, I have two textfields and one button. Whenever I type a set message into one of the textfields and then press the button, I want the other textfield to return another set message. Probably the trickier part: this should work both ways.
I have a form for signing up for a email newsletter, requesting name, phone number, email, etc. However, for some reason, it won't allow me to enter "3" "4" or the "@" symbol in any of the textfields. You can see how that could be a problem.I'm working with a preexisting site, build by someone else. The SWF on the site doesn't have this problem, (it works fine) but when I create a new SWF from the FLA they got from the previous designer, I have these problems, even before I made any changes.
The site was built with something newer than Flash 8 (I couldn't open it with Flash 8), but older than CS5 (when I save a new version of the FLA, it tells me it will no longer be compatible with older versions of Flash) Could this be caused by that?
the code from the form:
Code:
stop ();
this.tabEnabled;
name.tabIndex = 1;
street.tabIndex = 2;

I am embarrassed to admit that I am still working in Flash 6. But I am. I do not have the ability to upgrade at this point. I have created a contact form and all is working, but the input text is invisible to the end user. Oddly, anything that is typed is sent ok, they just can't see anything they are typing!
View 10 RepliesThis is about fill in the blanks in flash 8 as2. In this i used input text fields and three buttons.In first frame i used multiple input text fields and a submit button. After filling all the blanks we click on submit button then in the second frame we will show the result like if the blank is correct it should change the color to green and if it is wrong it should change to red.and in the frame i have check button when we click on it will display all the answers. And when we click on analyse button we have to display the answer which the user types and the correct answers.And my problem is when we click on submit there is no difference in the blanks color all are in black only.
View 3 RepliesIs there any ways to use input fields without embedding the font to minimize .swf file weight?
View 1 RepliesI ran over a problem with a video player that fades over a contact form. the problem is that the video player somehow disables the textfields of the form - even after the player fades away again.
I removed childs and set buttonMode=false for all the elements of the video player... ( when the player is closed ) --- but somehow it still disturbs the form after its gone.
The form works until the video player comes in
Here is the links: [URL] See how u can type in the text fields until the player appears...

On any flash site that I have found on the internet with an input field, it is not possible to input an accent using my mac. Create an input text field on the stage and publish the fla, then view it in a browser. If you try to input an accent in the .swf, it works fine (� : option-e, release, push e again), but if you try to do it in a browser the accent does not appear. (This seems to work fine for a pc, though its a different input code).

View 1 RepliesI'm doing a project for an education company that requires the use of a cursive font. The cursive font has many glyphs so that the characters can connect with each other. There are several versions of each letter so that they connect correctly to whatever letter is beside it. The glyphs work fine in InDesign and Illustrator, but not Flash. I tried embedding the entire Glyph set but that doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI have a .swf file that loads all of it's images from an embedded file called assets.swf. Last night everything was working fine and then I tried to add a pre-loader. As soon as I did that I can no longer get the input fields to work properly. When you hover your mouse over them it changes to the text cursor but you can't type into the fields. I've tried giving them focus, setting a default value, made sure they have an instance name and nothing seems to work. They're not behind another movie clip and the font is being embedded like it should be.url..
All the other posts I could find about this issue says it has to do with embedding the font. The font I'm using is Tahoma and it's embedded in both of the input fields. Another post I read said the problem was related to masks. I'm not using masks on either of these fields. Anyone know what's going on? It was working fine before I added the pre-loader and removing the pre-loader doesn't seem to fix the problem when this was working fine before.[code]
What I have is two buttons that when clicked they add an input text field and a third button that puts a text field and gives you the total value of the two input fields after the user inputs some numbers, the problem is that the buttons adding the input fields can be clicked multiple times and of course adding a new input field each time they are clicked and as you can imagine when I try to add the values I only get the result of the last two fields added.
How can I tweak my code so it adds-up the total value of all input fields on the stage?
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField2);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addTotal);

For an input field I need about 20 fonts to be embedded.
The size increases like hell, as expected. So I try to embed only the needed characters.
First thing I notice is I can only set that for the text field, I expected to be able to set the character range for every single font.
I set only Uppercase for all my dynamic/input fields but the size doesnt decrease and I can still see all characters.
So I suspect the way it works is strange and/or I just dont understand how it works.
I'm creating a form that runs from an external AS file. The code works when placed on the main timeline but not in the AS file where I want it. Here's the code.

I was wondering if anyone could please send me info user input text fields. I was wanting to set up a section in my flash site where the user
a) types in their name in first field
b) second field they type in their email address
c) third field they type in their email message and then hit a submitt button to make their message reach me!
I am trying to create a TextField, set its type property to "input," set its format via the TextFormat object, and allow the user to add a label to a movieclip.
Assume you have a button named b_add, and you assign it this code on the main timeline:
Code:
_root.b_add.onRelease = function () {_root.createTextField("myLabel", 10, -38, -15, 76, 29.7);
_root.myLabel.type = "input";
_root.myLabel.text = "insert label";
_root.myLabel.wordWrap = true;
[Code]...
The TextField that gets created loses all of its formatting once the user starts typing. It reverts to Time New Roman and doesn't wrap. Do I have something out of order? Should I approach the problem with another solution?

I'm creating a simple quiz which has 3 questions. Each question has an input text field next to it for the user to type their answer. There is also one submit button underneath the 3 questions.
What I'm needing is some actionscript so they can only progress to the next frame by clicking the submit button once ALL 3 text fields have text in it. It doesn't have to detect any specific text, just that there is something put into each one. If there hasn't been, then it'll pop up with text asking them to complete all the questions first.

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.

} else {
gotoAndStop(3);

I am wondering if there is a way to fill out fields in another website with the input text (or dynamic text) fields from my flash page.
I want to be able to have a sort of 'auto fill' function, where the 'username', 'password' etc. fields in my flash page get transfered to the other website's fields. I had the actionscript set up that looked like:
getURL("http://www,zimbio,com&username=" + userName + "&password=" + passWord)
(not sure if that was the exact way I had it, but you get the idea)
Anyways, some fields (like email and username) worked, but some (like password and 're-enter email', did not work.
I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing willtremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class.
