I have added a TextInput component to my movie and named the instance "fname".I use the following simple code...
fname.text = "test";
Problem is that once the text is set using AS2.0 it becomes un-editable and a user cannot change it.
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.
View 2 RepliesI'm using an AdvancedDataGrid in ActionScript 3/Flex 4. The grid has 5 columns: Caller Intent, Labels, Strategy, Confirmation Mode, and Confirmation Promptlet. All columns are editable except for Labels. However, if you change the Confirmation Mode value to NEVER, the next column Confirmation Promptlet becomes uneditable and is set with the value 'n/a' (this is the desired functionality).Unfortunately, the image is not clear. In the second row, I changed the Confirmation Mode value to NEVER. This is what happens when I start tabbing out of the Confirmation Mode cell:
1st Tab: Confirmation Promptlet populated with 'n/a'. I don't see anything in focus.
2nd Tab: The 5th tab from the left in the view stack (dark grey) is in focus.
3rd Tab: I don't see anything in focus.
4th Tab: The button with the green '+' (top left) is in focus.
5th Tab: The grid itself is in focus.
6th Tab: Finally I get to the Caller Intent cell of the next row (when this image was captured)
I tried setting tabEnabled="false" and tabFocusEnabled="false" for the button. I set only tabFocusEnabled="false" for the AdvancedDataGrid. But then the Tab focus starts moving to the components in the upper right panel and lower right panel.
I need to accomplish 2 things:
1. Have tabbing be contained in the grid, in the upper right panel, and in the lower right panel. Meaning tabbing should not cross from one area to another.
2. Have an uneditable field not mess up the normal tabbing behaviour.
I have a flash file that uses many classes i have done. Now, another person wants to modify that flash file, but for that i need to give him my classes too; if not, he will be unable to recompile the flash file. The problem of this is that i want to protect my *.as files where my classes are written (yeah sounds pretty anti - open source, but i need to protect my work ). So, how can i make that? Is there a way to convert all those clases into a kind of uneditable package that can be read by the flash file for importing process but the user is unable to edit or view?
View 9 RepliesI want to take data from TextInput box and hold it in a varaible "X" Is there any tutorial I can use to help me?
View 2 RepliesFirstly, I have searched the forum for related topics and found 2. I have tried to make sense of the code involved to make it work with my current project but nothing works.
As the title says, I require a string to be given the value from a textinput. As this was not working in my main project I created another simple AS3 file.
The user should just type in their name in scene 1. By pressing a button I trace the variable as a test and on scene 2 I should see the users name, but no.
I want to change the text of a TextInput using its name for example.
("name1").text = "123"
or is it possible to create an array of components?:
txt[0].text = "123"
I want to change the text of a TextInput using its name for example.
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
("name"+i).text = "123"

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.

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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
Any way to add a default value on TextInput.

When a person writes his/hers name in a textinput, I want to have a script in the "on (focusOut)" that selects the initials of the person and puts them in the variable "initials".Is it do-able? Let's say the person is called "John Doe". Then the value of "initials" would be "JD".It must also work on names like "John von Doe" (the initials would still be JD and not JvD).
View 5 RepliesI use TextInput component to capture user's info for my contact form and invoke an asp file to send out the mail. But value entered in the TextInput somehow is not passed to ASP. The following is my code:

trace(LastName);
this._parent.loadVariables("email.asp", "POST");

I have a movie that has been working fine until FP10 (3 years plus ). The issue is that a textinput field only gets focus on the first load of the movie. Subsequent loads none of the text input fields get focus, even when stepping through the movie focus is not automatically set. Unless the cache is cleared and the movie reloaded from our website.
I can reproduce it over and over, by clearing the cache movie works, all loads afterwards textinput boxes do not get focus.
Same results in IE 8, FF3 and Chrome. All using the latest flash player 10,1,53,64
It suggests a timingcode loadexecute issue ... introduced in FP10, but how to get around it ?
I am just embarking on a rewrite in Flex but that is some way off yet and something as simple as setting focus to the next field to be filled in affects the user experience.
This is what I'm trying to do:

So when you win my game I add a movieclip that will let you enter your name through a text input component. Unfortunately, I'm calling it wrong.
I'm getting an undefined property error because it's out of the youWon function, right? You'd think I'd understand this concept eventually!

I've already tried a lot, but there was no way I could change the color of my textInput. Adobe Livedocs couldn't help me and there was no working piece of code I could find in other messageboards.
These things haven't work for me:
myTextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFFF00);
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", Number(0xFFF00));
--
myTextInput.setstyle("backgroundColor", "#FFF00");
Do I have to do something about the border of the textInput. Or about the "background"-Property (if it still exists for AS3)??
I have a TextInput component and a Button component. When I push the button, all the text in TextInput is wrote on a server side txt file.

I am using Adobe Flash CS5 and Action Script 3, but I am struggling to do something really simple (which means I am looking in the wrong place probably), I have 5 TextInput fields, I have added to the stage via the 'Components' option, but after discovering how to change the colour of the fields, I now want to change the font which appears when you type directly into the fields when the Flash movie is playing, however I can't seems to find this function. I found a tutorial which mentioned going to the properties panel and then clicking 'Character, then 'Embed Font', but this maybe in CS4?

tf.size = 16;

I'm using Astra's autoComplete, but I don't think this is restricting it, though there is a slight chance that the field has an override.
