Flex :: Combobox Backspace Or Delete Key Does Not Delete Highlighted Text
Mar 26, 2010
I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
I got these four errors when I tried to create a button on the stage that would delete the text I inputted in the inputtext(ti). Based on the scripts I have and the errors, what should I write to create the delete button?

I'm using a combo box control and the dataprovider is set as an XML. After the dataprovider is set, I want to edit the text of the first option and also I need to insert an item in the second position.
I'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.
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've just made the jump into AS3 from AS2 and am having trouble deleting a text box if I create it within a function. If I use exactly the same code outside of a function, it works a treat. I'm assuming this is something to do with the text box not having a global or _root property
Code below:
//I can delete this var headline:TextField = new TextField(); headline.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; headline.htmlText = "COPY TEST";
I have created a delete button and have linked it to a text box along with another button that displays "1" in the text box when clicked. I need a button that will then delete this "1" out of the text box when clicked.
I have a text field name text.text. I create a button which on press a character appear in text.text. How is the action script on a button to delete a character in text.text ?
Is there a way I can prevent users from delete a text or a character? Say I want the textfield to always show the "$" in front of the number they enter. I was successfully able to do it when they click backspace or delete and then started typing any alphabets. BUT no luck when they highlight the entire textfield and typed the number. The "$" will get deleted, which I don't want that.

I have a List component from which I'd like to be able to remove items using drag & drop, but without having a specific target. If you use the mac, the behaviour I'm looking for is something like what the Dock uses; when you drag something out of the bounds of the control it should get an icon that indicates that it'll be deleted (OSX uses a cloud or something?) and then if you release it it will be removed from the list.
I need to delete some nodes from an XML variable and I want to keep the original intact. So I pass the XML to a new variable and delete the nodes from that one but the original changes with it. Is there a way to protect the XML from the original variable?
basically I want a list component but without the skin. So it looks like it's just floating over the stage area... Or is there a better way of doing this?
I'm creating something like a text editor. I have text-movieclips at set coordinates. I'm trying to create a function to delete entries. My idea is that my cursor is at the text-mc's coordinate so I'd like to be able to connect the delete key to any clip that happens to match my cursor(x,y). Like this:
We are writing log files to File.applicationDirectory and want to clean out old log files. The question is how do you delete files out of that directory? When I try and delete old log files out of this directory it gives a security exception. Is there anyway around this? I know you are not supposed to write to File.applicationDirectory, but we are writting are logs there anyways.

Trying to create a simple shopping cart with text boxes and delete buttons on the fly and everything is created properly, but I can't get them to delete.

I need to delete all the application data directories on the exit of an application: /data/data/air.<appID>/cache/.AIR /data/data/air.<appID>/cache/webviewCache /data/data/air.<appID>/databases
But I get each time the "directory not found error"
This is from my application descriptor: <id>test01</id> <filename>test01</filename> <name>test01</name>
I know also this is not a best practice, but for security reasons I need to delete all the stagewebview cache and autofill form data.
