How would you make a button event call a function which acts like a backspace keyboard event delete.I tried faking the dispatch keyboard event "keyup" "keydown" with keycode 8 and keynumber 8 without success.No other way than doing it by hand with begin and end select index plus substr ?I have a textinput i just want to add a button acting like a backspace.
View 2 RepliesI have got everything working on a virtual keyboard, except the backspace button. Does anybody know of a method that uses the .appendTest() to delete the last character typed by a user???
Inputtext field is named "dirsearch"'
_del is the instance name of the button that hopefully act as a back space button.
my code so far:
_del.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, deletelast);
function deletelast(e:MouseEvent):void{[code]..

So I'm creating this flash game for our company's 2010 halloween greeting card and I'm having some problems.All it is an swf that has balloons randomly moving upward.Each balloon is a movie clip that has another "button" movie clip inside of it. As you click on each balloon, the balloon pops and then recreates itself. The only problem is that the button inside the balloon is not acting like a button the entire time.
The upward movement is being called through an enterFrame event listener and the use of the button goes in and out as the balloon moves upward. It's a pain because you have to click the balloon multiple times in order to get the balloon to pop. Does anyone know why this is or if there is an alternative to enterFrame?
I have a movieclip that is acting like a button. I cannot seem to target the movieclip.Here's my path:THIS DOES NOT WORK!
ActionScript Code:
var tb = toolBar;

I have a deeply nested movie clip acting as a button, and I have been having trouble using actionscript to control another nested movie clip in another portion of the document.I've tried ways like:[code]...but both throw errors at me and won't let me change the frame of the IndexText MC.[code]
View 12 RepliesI have a MC(image) in the center of my screen, and have two buttons, one on right and one on left side of that MC. I want to scroll (image is like a menu) that MC left or right on mouse events, down or over. So, I just want to change MCs X value while holding mouse button on buttons or just hovering over them. I have managed to do that, but it's only moving by one value I have entered after a mouse event. Here's a piece of code I did.
buttonL1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonL1Pressed);
function buttonL1Pressed(event:MouseEvent):void{
var temp:int = 0;
var temp1:int = 0;

View 2 RepliesI 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
If I put in some code like this...
Code:
this.onKeyDown = function():Void {
trace (Key.getCode());
}
Key.addListener(this
...it doesn't detect anything when I press the backspace key, or the enter key. What is wrong? How do I detect these?

I have noticed this bug when developing my flash application on a windows platform.

I have a simple form that I'm building. It has a variable length list of entries, and I'm using a TextInput for each entry.
Because the list is variable in length, I'm allowing the user to delete elements from the list. One of the ways they can do this is to press the backspace key when the cursor is in an empty TextInput. I am handing KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and checking for the backspace key, to accomplish this.
The problem I am having is that after I remove the deleted TextInput, I want to leave the focus in the TextInput above. I can do this using 'setFocus', and that works fine, however it seems that the backspace is still processing, and so after the focus is set, the content of the TextInput is delete which I don't want.
To get around this, I've created a one-shot timer with a 0ms delay which changes the focus after the KeyDown event has completed.
My workaround is successful, but feels very heavy handed. Is there a better way to achieve the same effect?

View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.
View 2 RepliesI must not be looking in the right area as it seems there is no way to search one particular Adobe product at a time, only "Search Forums" which means I get a bunch of useless results to "keyboard navigation" and "keyboard shortcuts" and the above subject. I am a novice user with a novice question for which there doesn't appear to exist any readily available information for which means I don't expect anyone will answer this question but I'll go ahead with it anyway in the hopes that maybe someone will read this w/in the next few months.
Here is what I'm wanting to do:
First I want to establish a list of frames on the timeline I would like the user to be able to jump to at the press of a keyboard button say the down arrow. Say this list consists of the following frame numbers, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. I would like that if they are watching the movie on frame 12, upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 15 and if they are on frame 22 upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 1 etc.. I do not however want it to direct them to frame 1 if they are on frame 12 and press the down arrow for the first time.
This seems like a severely easy question (at least the part about keyboard navigation) for which I would expect they would have it in the Adobe classroom in a book or some official tip or direction about how to do this w/out possibly having to spend 15,000 years learning a coding language to do one goddam thing!

View 1 RepliesI have a button object, I want to be able to control with the ENTER/RETURN key on the keyboard so when ever I press the ENTER key, the button object goes into onPress stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a basic presentation which will have basic interactivity for the user. i.e. The user clicks on a play button, and the presentation plays, the user clicks on a back button, and the playhead steps back through the animation. I also want to provide keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing, so the user can also hit the spacebar to play the presentation, or press the left arrow key to step back, etc.
I've successfully gotten both the click interactivity and keyboard interactivity to work... but only separately, when I try to add them to the same file, it breaks. I also think I've figured out why. The problem seems to be that if I click a button that is only on the timeline for SOME of the frames, the KeyboardEvent listener no longer triggers.
I have a rewind button that will jump the playhead to the start of the presentation. However, from a use design standpoint, I really only want the rewind button visible/clickable if the user has advanced a bit into the presentation (i.e. frame 2 or beyond) because having the rewind button active on the first frame of the presentation can be confusing because it makes it appear to the user as though they can still rewind further, even though they've reached the beginning. I want to take a similar approach to a play button... as long as there are frames to play, the play button should be active; however, once you reach the end, the play button should dim down and not be clickable anymore, which serves as a visual cue to the user that they have reached the end of the presentation.
So, previously (in AS 2.0) this was not a problem. On the frame I wanted the rewind button to be "disabled", I would just turn the Button Symbol into a Graphic Symbol which would make it unclickable and remove any script, and then I would dim the Alpha of the Graphic. So, on frame 1, the rewind button would actually just be a transparent Graphic, and then once the playhead goes to Frame 2, it would be a Button symbol that could be clicked.
This technique apparently will break the new event model in AS3. If you look at the FLA I have attached (just change the extension), you can see that when you first "Test Movie"... any keyboard press outputs a trace statement that shows which key was pressed. However, if you hit the play button to play a little of the timeline, and then click the rewind button (instance name of rewind_btn) which jumps the playhead to frame 1 (where rewind_btn doesn't exist, because it's a Graphic now).
Now my Keyboard listener doesn't trigger!
I've even tried testing to see if the KeyboardEvent listener still exists by using the hasEventListener("keyUp"), and it returns as true, so the listener is there, it just doesn't trigger anymore
How would I go about solving this problem? Because I can see this being a huge issue in a more complicated project, because I could see scenarios where you only want certain buttons to exist on certain frames

View 1 RepliesI'd like to know what AS3 code is necessary to have a scrollable menu of buttons using the Keyboard class. I am creating app similar to a Yahoo widget, and I would like for the keyboard to simulate a remote control in the prototype. The keyboard's directional buttons (up, down, left, right), the "backspace" and "enter" button would be used to navigate. I have found AS3 code on how to move objects using keyboard commands (up, down, left, right, back), like in a game, but not how to move the target area from one object (button) to another. The changing target would be a clickable button using the "enter" button.
