I'm using a keyboard event listener to move a sprite around, however, I have to click on the stage before the keys work. I'm even giving focus to the sprite that is supposed to move and telling flash not to use the yellow box. However, the box shows up around the sprite until I click anywhere on the stage.
Code: public function activate_photo():void { stage.focus = photoContainer;
I have a button with a tabIndex. The button contains a textfield.When I click on the edge of the button and hit tab, the next item is correctly focussed.But when I click on the textfield (non-editable,not tab-enabled, no tabindex), and then hit tab, it focusses on the first object on the page, even though the parents focusIn function is triggered, in which I'm setting the focus to the parent object[code]...
for example i have object one a Textinput haveing id="
id_txtBox
", and a panel having a lot of children(TextInputs, Trees, Buttons etc.) if user is editing text in one of panel's child and then clik on "id_txtBox". can we get to know
I have a TextInput and a Canvas object both inside an HBox object. When the input text field has focus it highlights, I would like to change this to be the containing HBox that highlights when the Input Text has focus.Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do that?Here is my code:
Is there any way I can hide the focus indicator for everything in my document? Can't I just make some Focus Manager for the entire document and do hideFocus() from there?
i want to set the focus on a certain textfield, but since the textfield is not in the document class of my application im having trouble to access the focus property. things like: this.focus = myTf, MovieClip(parent).stage.focus = myTf etc. don't work for me, im slowly turning insane.
How to access the focus property outsite the document class?
Is there an ActionScript equivalent to Javascript's getElementByID, that would allow me to use a string containing the id of an mxml ui component to refer to that component / interact with its properties?
I have created an enemy object from document class. if my enemy score becomes zero, the enemy must get removed.Is there any way to remove that object by destroy the object from document class?.
in my application i use a flash clip where i have 2 textboxes, a remember me checkbox and a button to login.the problem is that if someone presses the tab button it doesn't focus in the right component. for example, if i write my username and then press tab, it goes to the checkbox instead of focusing in the second textbox. how can i change that order?
I'm having a hard time wading through all the different types of flash and actonscript that is posted here. I've seen some of the senior members spend extra time trying to determine which Flash product was being used and which action script. Some of us are limited to F7, F8 etc. It would be nice to be able to search for entries that apply to what we're looking for. I see two possible solutions, maybe you have others.
1. Create a new entry item for the new forum that includes Flash type and Actionscript being used. 2. Each of us can identify what products and actionscript we are using or asking about in the Topic Summary.
Question: Would it be beneficial for seperate input fields to be added to the new forum site to include Product version and the actonscript being used?I know all you rich folks use the CS products and that's all as3. What happens when as4 shows up?
What code would I use to change the focus of an object so it would rotate around the center of the screen like for a car game with a scrolling bground that moved based on key presses?
(This is within a Document Class external Manager.as)(Game controls are called in Controls.as and successfully assigned to Manager.root via addEventListeners within Controls)
I'm having a game in which i control an MC with the keyboard arrows and when i click outside of the flash application and back in the MC loses focus. The focus changes to a button within the stage. What i've observed is that the Flash Player has a built-in control that moves focus from an item to the other with the arrow keys.
I have an application where I am trying to get all user input directed to one paticular text field. So if the user clicks on another text field, the focus would prgramatically switch back to the first. I am not having much luck so far.
public function focusChng(e:Event) : void var cTextField; //current Field cTextField = e.target; switch( e.type ) case FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN: cTextField.borderColor = 0x0000FF;
I've been trying to set up this test page for my flash game but it refuses to gain focus on load. I read a bunch of forum entries and didn't get it to do anything, I can't really believe this should be so hard.
Here's what I have:
<head> <title>UP HERE WE ESCAPE THE RAT RACE</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject
I know there are a billion questions regarding what books are best and I'm sorry for posting another, but all of them see to have an orientation to a language I am not familiar with.
My problem is I learned to program before OO became big, then I stopped programming for a few years, moved into web design, moved into coldFusion, and now find myself in PHP, actionScript and FLEX.
I have muddled along for quite some time, but I am really struggling with my understanding of OO and would like a good book that will help me out with it. If that book is geared towards Flex and AS3 then that would be awesome, but if it had no language specified either I would be happy. I'm just not sure how reading a book oriented to Java or whatever is going to help my understanding of AS3.
What code would I use to change the focus of an object so it would rotate around the center of the screen like for a car game with a scrolling ground that moved based on key presses?
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)
The entire box at the top is a Flex application. The box on the left with the list of pinball machines is a VBox. As you can see, if you try to scroll with your mousewheel, it doesnt respond. The reason this is shut off is because I found that if it's turned on, when you scroll up/down, the whole page goes with it. So if you scroll down four or five times, the application goes out of sight.I tried finding a solution to this when I programmed this last year but wasnt able to find any answers.if there's a way to make Flex grab the focus of the mousewheel and not let the browser move as well?
So I was just sitting and fooling a bit around in flash, when I decided to change the colour of an object through and XML document, that ofcause contained the colourcode. So I made a little, very basic, action script, but it doesn't seem to work. When I open the page, the object turns black, so the setRGB works, but because it can't find any of the xml, flash writes 000000, and therefore it turns black. Well, that's what I'm guessing. The point is, it isn't working, and I really don't know why.
