Actionscript :: Caret Return Character Added To String Taken From Adobe Flash Input Text Field?
Feb 25, 2010
I have encountered strange problem. I have created simple Flash text field control and I wanted to compare its content with some other string. This comparison in triggered when user is pressing the button.In Action Script 2.0 code I noticed that a caret return character () was added at the end of the string coming from the input text field.It is easy to overcome the problem obviously, however I would like to understand what is going on. I use Flash CS4 with AS 2.0.

I tried to the following code but it doesn't work presumably because I'm trying to split an input text field but I can't say split("
")
The code:
Code: Select allvar text_height = input_txt.split("
").length*12;
Is this possible to do?

I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

I have a string that searches the Twitter API, for keywords, for example :
var url:String = "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Robin%20&lang=en&rpp=100";
I also have a input textfield dynamically created:
var inputField:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(inputField);
inputField.border = true;
inputField.width = 200;
[Code]....
But how do i take the data from the input text field and add it to the string, keep in mind the input data has to go in the keyword part for the string.

Is it possible to login through flash using one Dynamic Text Field and one Input Text Field and no buttons? If so how? I have seen many tutorials dealing with logging in to PHP using flash but it requires you to make your own php scripts which i am not familiar with. Can some one tell me how to do this with PHPBBs existing php scripts... I want to be able to login thorugh a Input Text Field box and have it verify it in PHP and also be able to register and view other PHP info such as users online and FAQ..

I want to have the caret (flashing cursor) to appear when I set the focus to a text field. It works fine when the user clicks on the text field.
the following does not seem to work for me:
Code:
stage.focus = mytxtfield
mytxtfield.setSelection(mytxtfield.text.length,mytxtfield.text.length);
When I try this it merely focuses on my text field and no caret comes up! mytxtfield is the instance name of my input type textfield.

var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
bytes.writeInt(0);
trace(bytes.length); // prints 4
trace(bytes.toString().length); // prints 4
When I run the above code the output suggests that every character in the string returned by toString contains one byte from the ByteArray. This is of course great if you want to display the content of the ByteArray, but not so great if you want to send its content encoded in a string and the size of the string matters.Is it possible to get a string from the ByteArray where every character in the string contains two bytes from the ByteArray?

I would like to replace the ":" for text_field_1 Instead, @ should show up when somebody hits :
Any ideas how to do that in as2?
Maybe something like: if text_field_1 is focused && somebody hits : add an @*to the existing text in field 1.
Or make a loop looks for : in text_field_1 and when it finds one it replaces it with @
But i have no idea how to do that in as2

how I'd go about having a text field a user can change the dimensions of by clicking and dragging in Flash?
i.e. the movie would show a text field with transform handles and depending on how wide or high it changes the word wrap..

I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.

I have made a movie clip which I export to ActionScript 3.
In this movie clip I have drawn a text field (area? well TEXT) using the plain "Text Tool".
After selecting the text, and after I have entered "0" to be displayed, I edit its properties. It's Instance Name, defined at the very top of the list I have written "score". The text engine is TLF Text and the text type "Read only".
When I have made a instance of the movie clip using AS3 I can't get the value of the text instance named "score" - when calling something like trace(getChildByName("score")) in the constructor I just get null.
I want to be able to get the value of the text "score", and I would also like to change its value.
Just how do I get the value from ActionScript? I don't want to have to create the text progamatically and position it, and I doubt that I have to.

If I hard code the values of the variables I am sending from flash to php, the whole thing works just fine, but if I try to set the value of the variables to what a user enters in input fields I have provided, then blank data is sent to PHP.here is the as file

I have a test field that I've created dynamically. If I add text to it by writing: myField.text = "some text" the text appears, but if I add text using a variable I don't see anything. If I trace the text field's text trace("text = " myField.text) I get the right value.

What I'm trying to do is to write something in an input field and then it should show up in a dinamic field. I can make this happen, but the problem is that the dinamic field shows its new text in the same format as the Input field. For example, the input text is written in TimesNewRoman and the dinamic text is in Arial, but when the dinamic text shows the input, the text is still in TimesNewRoman when I want it to be in Arial.

I am an educator and I am designing an interactive activity for my students. I created two buttons named baby_B and baby_G, and an input textfield named text_entry. When a student presses baby_B, the letter "B" is entered into the input text field; if a student presses baby_G, the letter "G" is entered into the input text field.For a student's solution to the input text field to be correct, it has to contain values BBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, GGB, GBG, GBB, and GGG in any order. I created an array named solution_S with these values. I also have an enter the solution button named enter_btn. The student can check their solution by pressing the enter_btn button; if the input textfield is correct, the quiz moves on to the next frame in my timeline; if it is incorrect, it moves to a different frame in my timeline.
stop();
baby_B.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, letterB);
function letterB(event:MouseEvent)

how to make a simple AS3 class.I've made a simple calculator application that allows you to add, subtract, multiply, and divide after entering 2 values into their respective text box.The problem, how ever, is once I moved it into it's own class, I cannot figure out how to reference the text fields. I have the movie clips referenced just fine, but, I cannot figure out the text fields.Here are the errors it's spitting out:
Code:
1120: Access of undefined property Number1_txt.
1120: Access of undefined property Number2_txt.
1120: Access of undefined property finalValue_txt.
And it does that for each instance of those in the Calculator.as
