I have this flash form and it was functioning fine a minute ago, when you go to contact us and click contact us you will see the form only inputs in all caps and for some reason it will not let you type every letter it is driving me insane.

I am working on a fairly simple form in flash that sends its text input (name, email, subject, and message) to a php file that in turn sends an email containing the inputted text. I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find another case quite like this. Basically I'd like the email sent to just include the inputted text, but it seems that the variables are passing all the text box formatting in addition to the inputted text. I will include my AS, php, and email result below.
AS:
Code:
stop();
messageSent._visible=false;
sendBtn.onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over")

I just got my scrolling text to work here, but it isn'tformatting the way I want. I think I have code correct, but maybejust in the wrong place. AS3 gods, I'mlearning.
var external_txt:TextField = new TextField();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var externalReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.txt");

I need some input text to read the same in both a dynamic and input text field, but I need the input text field to be left-aligned with a smaller font size than the dynamic text field. I tried left-aligining the input text field in Flash, and it just converted it back when I tested the movie. I have given both fields the same variable. How can I accomplish this?
View 11 RepliesI am creating an interactive word prosessor. I would like to be able to format my text (font, size, style, aligning, etc) but I am unsure of the syntax envolved. my code is:

format partial parts of an input text box at runtime. I have seen a few "text editors" around which are built in flash so i am assuming it is posible but i would like to know the extent of developement on this. My idea is much more simple than the text editor.
Basically i just need to be able to change the format of a specific word or two in a string, which the user has entered in the user input box, on specific words..
for example. image writing some text in MS word, and the last word written is wrong "spelled incorectly" it is then immidiately underlined.. this is the effect i'm after. i have the code working producing errors in a seperate output box. but i need it to change the input text dynamically at run time.
The first questions was a calculation with the correct answer 5 or five. I have created an input text box with a variable ans1. Instance for the input text is Q1Input. I made a button with the following button script:
on (release, keypress "<Enter>") {
if (ans1 eq "5" or ans1 eq "five") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
[Code].....
Typing a correct answer gets me to a wrong message (frame 3) not correct (frame 2). When I trace(ans1) it seems that the input text box is passing teh formatting data with the value thus giveing me WRONG.
I have a TextInput for a user to enter their Date of Birth. Right now they just enter a string of numbers and I parse it for the correct values but this can be very inefficient. What I am looking to do is have the TextInput automatically formatted to look --/--/---- so the user can click in it and fill in the '-' fields while leaving the '/' for formatting purposes. Does anyone know of a good way to do this?

View 7 RepliesI have a form that works fine except that when trying to navigate through input text fields with tab it would skip the last input text field and go to the submit button. So I used this to fix the problem: name.tabIndex = 1; and so forth. Now that problem is fix but I have a new problem. When I test the movie the input fields are populated with this: _level0.instance1.name Does anyone know the reason for the?
View 1 RepliesI've had a site running for a few months that takes fourinput text boxes (name, e-mail, subject and message) and posts thevalues to an ASP page which composes an e-mail with a CDO.Messagecommand. For some reason (nothing has been changed in the files or onthe server), it stopped working and I've traced it down to Flashpassing Input Text Box Formatting information along WITH theariable.Can anyone explain what's happened and how to correct it?For example, in my form I've set all the name, e-mail andmessage to static text and let the Subject variable be passed andin the e-mail subject line, I get this:

I've got a form that the user enters numeric values in to a series of text Input fields. I want to allow the user to use the arrow keys in addition to the tab keys to control the active focus of the fields.
I set up a 2D array with the names of the input fields as values. I'm trying to call the name of the input field from the array and then assigning the focus, but I'm getting Error 1067 implicit coercion errors.
stage.focus=nextCellName;

I've created a form-like input to receive user input in the form of text in a frame. Now, I would like to pass that input into an external text file. I hope to get help to implement this. Let's assume that this app will be only used locally and not over the web.

The problem is that when a customer tries to use the form and clicks into one of the text fields it jumps back out! the funy thing is it only seems to happen after they have been to and viewed my gallery page which is xml ? I also changed the input fields from a component to a regular input field.

I have a Input text area set up for a contact form. I want the area to display "Email", and for the alpha to be 50%. When you click on the text field to put in your email address, I want the original value to be removed and for the alpha to reset to 100%. I've been able to accomplish this fine so far using the code below; the problem is that I only want the value to become blank again if the user hasn't entered in information yet (this way if the user wants to come back and change something, it won't all be deleted when the text area is clicked on). I tried using an "if" statement, but Flash seems to just ignore it and perform the function either way.
Here is the code that I came up with:
email.text = "email";
email._alpha = 50;
email.onSetFocus = function() {
email.text = "";
email._alpha = 100;

I have a form with a horizontal layout and with this TextInput:
<s:TextInput id="platformNameTI" showErrorSkin="true" showErrorTip="true"/>
I have a simple validator that just checks if there is something entered (required field). My problem is as the layout is horizontal, when an error occurred (required file missing), all form items are shifted because of the error icon. Is there a way to delete that annoying icon or force the component to not display it?
I have created an array of TextFields to create something close to an editable grid. Have applied some formatting (font size, etc.) on each of these TextFields. But when I test my movie and add something in one of these boxes, the text does not appear with formatting
View 3 RepliesBasically I've created a simple flash form which is linked to a PHP processor to email to a client. I have both simple text input fields, and the ComboBox and DateSelector components from the flash CS3 menu.
Inputs from the text fields work fine and appear in the emailed form, I have set the var fields on these. However the ComboBox and DateSelector inputs don't appear, and i cant figure out how to set the var fields on these. How do you get the text/whatever is chosen from these components to actually appear in the emailed php form!?
I am a newbie still practising "Form-2-Email" kind of code with flash 8 AS2 .

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a user input textfield which automatically applies the defined format on it. The only problem is: actionscript 3 seems to ignore the format and stubbornly applies the default text format. How can I apply the desired format on user typed text? Here's my code so far. As you can see, for experimental reasons I tried to apply the size "60" on the text, but if you execute the script, the size of the text remains unchanged:
PHP Code:
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.TextField;
var theTextField:TextField = new TextField();
var txtFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
