View 0 RepliesI've got a text input box (txt_BirthDay) that I want to enter a date into in the format dd/mm/yyyy.
I want to split the contents of that input box into 3 separate variables for day, week and month.
This works:
Code:
var BirthDay:String = new String(txt_BirthDay.text);
var Day:Number = Number(BirthDay.substr(0,2));
var Month:Number = Number(BirthDay.substr(3,2));
var Year:Number = Number(BirthDay.substr(6,4));
But is it the best way of doing it?
Also, How can I 'mask' the input box so it only accespts inputs in the dd/mm/yyyy format?
i wasn't sure whether to post this in CS3 or AS2,I know it's possible to make the text of an Input Box glow, i have seen it here:
View 1 RepliesI am going nuts here. I've searched exhaustively, and cannot seem to find anyone else experiencing my issue, so it must be something elementary I am not grasping. I'm creating TextFields dynamically, for use as input boxes:
Code:
function makeText(whatParent, whatText, whatFormat, input){
var thisTextField:TextField = new TextField();

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 2 Replieshow do i restrict an input text box to only accept valid dates in the format
dd/mm/yyyy
Where obviously september cannot have more than 30 days and takes into account leap years for february.
1. If you have a dynamic text field and movieclip under a mask layer.
2. through actionscript you set the text of the text field, and set the frame of the movieclip.
3. You want the mask to animate, so you create a new keyframe at frame 10 in the mask layer, and change the shape of the mask. The problem is that when you play the movie and it reaches the keyframe where the mask changes, it resets both the text field and movieclip to it's initial state. I've run into this issue in both AS2 and AS3, and also using an animated movieclip as a mask. Whatever is underneath the mask gets reset. I've created a very simple fla to demonstrate this (attached).
I have several Sprites that are all combined in one parent Sprite. The parent Sprite then gets a Glowfilter applied and should then be masked by a Textfield.
Everythings working fine but as soon as I apply the Filter to the Sprite nothing shows... However, if I apply the Filter to every single Object that the Sprite contains, it works...
Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).
Is it possible to apply a dynamically created gradient mask on a textfield in flex?
View 2 RepliesI try to get input from a textfield of type INPUT and save its numerical value on a couple of variables, but when i enter for example 1 or any digit i get Nan in the trace debug, after i put another digit i get the first after i put another one i get the first two and so on so forth. What i am doing wrong? Here some snippets from my code.
xSpeedField.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, inputXCapture);
private function initField(field:TextField, label:String, x:uint, y:uint):void {
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

I want the form with its mc to make the main movie stop from playing while peaple are filling up the form.... I tried using 2 methods both with no luck....1st method : I've put the rollover action on the whole mc - but then I can't select the textfiled to actully fill them up...2nd method: I've put the rollover action on every little bit of the mc ( input textfileds, send button, background) - but then when I move from one textfiled to another it sometimes plays the movie again - althogh I didn't leave the mc area yet....here is the code sample:
form2.back.onRollOver = function(){
stop();
}

The default value text displays, but when you click into them to type nothing appears.I've tried embedding fonts, making sure I use th Font class, even setting them to _sans and system font, but nothing. Totally at my ropes end before I wind up re-writing most of this thing.These really should be TextInputs, I know, but this is some other f*cker's crap work I'm cleaning up and I don't feel like refactoring the rest of his garbage.

you're ganna need the fla file. i made it simplify. not complicated. [URL]
I'm having a weird problem with AS3/CS5: I have a textfield, and I'm playing around with focusing on it at various points. At one point,I set focus to the textfield (which only accepts 1 character), then add an Event.CHANGE listener to it. This works fine, except when I type the letter 'a' (or 'A'). Nothing happens until I click on the text field and type 'a.' I don't have to do the second click with any other character, and before I do the second click, the cursor is blinking in the box. Not sure what to do...

What I'm trying to do is pretty simple, I'm just getting lost in the syntax of it..I have a piece of code that loads a textfield to the stage and sets it to "Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically"on the stage I have a text input box named t1input And a button next_btn
What I am wanting to happen is to have the text automatically load into the text field that is set in the code ("Testing Adding Text To Stage Dynamically") And then have it where the user can type into the text box, press the "next" button and then the text in the text field is changed to be whatever the user has typed in the text box.[code]...
I have a wierd problem with input textfield losing its formatting.The format of the textfield (font, size, align..) is defined inside the .fla.When first added to stage, the textfield has these properties:
defaultTextFormat = flash.text.TextFormat (@97c7ab9)
align = "right"
blockIndent = 0

first off I guess I should say that I'm pretty much a beginner to flash Anyways, what I'm trying to do is make it so when the user inputs something into the textfield, depending on what they said specifically, it takes them to a certain scene. So far I am able to communicate with just text between a few people, but they are not able to perform other actions such as the movement of their mouth when they are speaking which is what I would like also. I've included an attachment of what I have so far (it was given to me by a member at the official macromedia flash forums),

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 RepliesI'm trying to refer to the text in an input text field. The name of the fields are attr1, attr2, attr3...... This works fine when I type;
my_mc.var1.text,
my_mc.var2.text......
In order not to type the name of all the fields, I want to do it in a loop, and put the results into an array;
[AS]
for(i; i<(number_of_attr+1); i++) {
var nr = new LoadVars();
var attr_nr = new LoadVars();
var suggestion = new LoadVars();
attr_nr = i.toString();
[Code] .....
It only works when I type attr1, attr2 .....

View 1 RepliesI have an input box where a user enters in a temperature in Celsius and a dynamic text box where the converted Fahrenheit value appears. All is working well, but I want to keep the user's entered Celsius number constant in the input box and not disappear; that way they can't forget the original number they entered to get the conversion.
