I have two text input boxes p1 and p2. I want to do a conditional test to see if p1 has the focus. If it does not, then p2 must have the focus. Here is some code I am trying to get to work.
if ((Selection.getFocus()) == (p1totalScore.text)){
p1Score();
} p2Score();

I'm trying to build a fahrenheit to celsius convertor in AS3. How can I test to see whether what is input into a text input box (flash component) is not a number? This isn't correct but you can get an idea of what i'm trying to do:
if (celsius_txt.text == NaN || fahrenheit_txt.text == NaN)
{
//do something;
}
I have to input feilds. Inside the feilds (through variables) I have "username" writen. How can I clear this feild when the user focuses on the feild?In a frame script I have:
if (selection.getFocus() == _level0.loginPageMC.userTxt) {
userTxt = "";
}

I'm trying to give focus to a text input with instance name "input" so that when I run the movie, there is a blinking cursor where the input is so that the user has some visual cues. I also changed the background and made it only accept numbers. This code is in an init() method, which is run from the constructor
input.backgroundColor = 0xFFCCCCCC;
input.restrict = "0-9";
stage.focus = input;
The first two lines of this work fine, the background is grey and it only accepts numbers as expected, however the third line doesn't work. The input text is not given the focus. Once I click on the input text then I can see the blinking cursor. I also tried this.stage.focus=input;, but that didn't work either.
I have a swf that is having problems only when I load a movie.[code]I noticed that the movie does not run right only when the cursor is still bliking in the input text field. I will input text in the input field but the cursor continues to remain in the field even after clicking the "someButton".[code]but is still has a problem. The problem being that when I click another button in the program, sometimes it will not work and othertimes it will.When I remove the input field and hard code the import the loadmovie it works fine.

View 1 RepliesWhen I put focus on input text, I get Error #1023.
mc.tabChildren = true;
mc.tabEnabled = true;
mc.getInputTxt().tabIndex = 0
mc.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN,updateFocus);
private function updateFocus(e:FocusEvent):void{
stage.focus = e.currentTarget.getInputTxt()
}
Is there an autofocus for a input text field box..like when u load the swf its already focused?
Also is there like a autoscroll like when a Dynamic text Field gets too full it just shifts down?
I have a textfield and a button component.The problem is when the textfield is focused and i click anywhere on the stage it remains focused and no focusout event occurs. I know that it's because component classes implement IFocusManager(Component) interface and the TextField class does not .I do not want to create a new instance of FocusManager class or implement the IFocusManager interface in a custom class. Is there any way to disable the focusmanager ? The deactivate method does not seem to work in as3!
Code:
import fl.managers.FocusManager
var fm:FocusManager=new FocusManager(this)
fm.deactivate()

I'm in and out of AS2 and it's been awhile.if this is possible to reliably create this state for an Input text field.Ideally the text area has some text in it as a prompt tot he user, and the cursor is blinking at the end of the prompt text. When the user clicks on the box, it resets to empty content and the user can type their question.I have the text area set up with prompt text, instance name. Tried this code and it does not work:[code]Right now when i click on it, the text prompt text remains and the cursor shows one line below the prompt text.

when i have this line active(the red one) it gives me automatic focus, so no clicking to be able to detect key input so i got that going for me which is nice BUT when i have it active(not commented out) i get this big yellow line which goes away when i click it(seeBelow)
I've never actually tried to work in Input field .All i need to do is when a button is pressed, make sure there is text inside of the input field. If there isn't, declare the log-in to be false.Here's what I have so far.
Code:
var loginUser:String;
var loginPass:String;
var loginAccepted:Boolean;[code]....

I should add that this text fields starts out on stage as a dynamic text field. In the code above I am changing its type to input, so that might affect things. I am trying to set up the field so that when a user clicks in the text field, a cursor movie clip appears, and the text that was in the field is erased, and that when they leave the text field and click elsewhere, the text is accepted, the textfield converts back to a dynamic field, essentially "locking" the entered text into the field.
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;
stage.focus=prevCellName;

import flash.text.TextField;

Apparently when a swf is loaded, the application does not have immediate focus. Even if the code
stage.focus = myInputBox
is in the constructor, the user must tab or click the inputbox to obtain focus.
i have a problem when my site loads in the next section i want that section to have focus on input_txt.text
it works everywhere but this one textbox
i normally use stage.focus.(instance name)
but that doesnt work when loading a part in
I got a text-InputField:
var textfield:TextField = new TextField();
textfield.text = "";
textfield.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
addChild(textfield);
because this textfield don't reside in the main-class, I don't have a stage-reference for doing:
textfield.stage.focus = textfield;
or
stage.focus = textfield
How can I force the textfield to display the blinking line at position zero?
found only one thing that seemed to be on the lines of what I am having issues with:
stage.focus = this;
My problem: The the flash app I am working on, some of the controls are done with the keyboard. At certain points, you need to click on an on screen button to continue. When I do this, it seems the focus is lost from where it was, and I can no long use keyboard actions (such as the spacebar KeyboardEvent that works prior to clicking the mouse)
I will admit that I am a newcomer to Flash (only played with it for about a month now), and I don't know much about the focus stuff. Basically, I want to know how to set the focus back to where it was after the buttons are clicked.
i have one input text Field in Login screen in which i want to set default focus. for this purpose i use stage.focus = textFiled, its working fine when i run swf into Flash IDE but when swf integrate with java (in Jar file format) on other word when i run java environment, default focus is not set on input textFiled. when i click on textField its working fine.
View 0 RepliesOn my stage I have an MC with a textfield of type input. I have another MC on stage with the control for the input like bold, and italic. When my textfield has focus and I click on one of the control MC buttons it loses focus. I know I can reset focus with stage.focus but wanted to know if there is a better way. Like disable the control MC from taking the focus off the input text. I thought this was not the behavior. I thought that only another input type control can steal focus until now.

View 4 RepliesSo i have a combo box that a user can go a select different UI's with. In another pane i have a map that the user can press the arrow keys the move up, down, left right etc.
Only problem is that once i have selected a map from the combo box, the combo box stays in focus so that when i press an arrow key, the map moves but it also scrolls through my combo box.
Any way i can disable keyboard input to the combo box or remove the focus on the combo box?
I've tried creating a dummy button on the stage called "dummy" and when the change event happens on the combo box i switch the focus using
Selection.setFocus("dummy");
but then i get a recursion error and it stops my scripts.
i click on the play button and go to my playscreen. Then I have to click on the playscreen for it to accept keyboard input!
View 11 RepliesI have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

I am wondering how I would get a name from an input box<and present a message if box is empty(i.e. popup), store it and output it to another frame that has Well done <output box with name> you got a score of <score output box>I am also wondering how I would get names and scores and put them on a high score table. this is done using arrays i know... is it like if score>36 array or outputbox_1 = score1?

Specific yet simple problem: [URL] What I want to achieve:
1) after 1st entering, NONE of present input fields[TF] is selected.
2) when i press TAB key[1st time], first TF is selected and cursor inside it is blinking.
3) pressing TAB key repeatedly, i can cycle through all TFs [one by one]. The RIGHT order of CYCLING through TFs is displayed inside TFs.
What i have so far:
1) TAB key press works ONLY AFTER i first click on any TF, TFs are cycled in BAD order. Cursor is blinking correctly.
2) implemented Key.DOWN listener. Works without need to first click on any TF, but cursor inside selected TF is missing which makes orientation difficult. TFs are cycled in the RIGHT order.

I have a search input textfield on stage that searches my list component...there is no search button, instead the search is performed 1 second after the user stops typing...(this is done with a key listener)...however the input focus gets stuck in the textfield if you type something (anything) and hit the enter key multiple times...I hit it like 5-10 real quick....then I tried to click my address bar in the browser, and I am unable to type a new URL...it just continues to type in the input text field on screen..
