Iphone :: Flash IOS Textfield Input AutoSize?
Oct 21, 2011
I want the width and height from the textfield to be set automatically. But if I use:
textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;
It runs perfectly on the computer. But if I transfer the app to my iPhone and I test it, the textfield turns in the size of one character so the rest I'm typing scrolls out of the textfield area. It's pretty hard to explain what happens, but it just looks like it doesn't set the height and width the right way. And even if I use the
textField.scrollV = 0;
it keeps scrolling.

When I test my Actionscript 3 flash program on my computer, there's nothing wrong. But when I transfer it to my iPhone and I click on the text I want to edit, I can edit it, but the characters grow bigger than they actually are while editing. When I stop editing, the font gets back to the original size. How can I keep the font from growing when I edit it?

I have a TextField that I'm going to populate dynamically in code. Imagine as a simple example a cartoon with the text bubble above the speaker's head, the bubble is a rounded rectangle with some embellishments like drop shadow and a border and such and I want the bubble to be a fixed width but a variable height to accomodate a few words or maybe a long sentence that wraps to three lines. I understand that TextField will do this with autosize and wordwrap, but how do I make the 'bubble' movieclip that contains it also resize accordingly, without writing various hacks involving counting the number of characters and resizing the bubble myself?

Really not enjoying myself with AS3 - it's about as userfriendly as an airplane cockpit. I'm sure Flash the program is quite happy with it, but spending hours into weeks trying to implement pretty ordinary functionality is getting really tiring.
I have a textfield loading in html/CSS file. The textfield is in a container mc. I'm trying to use a scrollbar on the textfield, and I need to set the textfield to newsText.autoSize = "left";. When I do this, the textfield displays the entire contents of the html file in the swf, ignoring the textfield size AND the mc size, displaying all the lines in the file in howover many lines are in the html file.
I'm autocenting my swf in the browser, so this of course throws the whole thing off center.

I have text that loads into a dynamic text field that is on the stage. The movie clip("tile" in code below) in which the dynamic text field resides is placed on the stage via loop function.
I can load the text from the xml file just fine.However, since each text field in loop autosizes, which is what I want, (in height only-width is fixed), I want the next text in the loop to load in a Y position based on the previous text box height including a "cushion" of my choosing.
I'm very close, but can't seem to get the math right that is needed for the tiles Y position...I'm thinking this should be simple
Here it is:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("faq.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoad, false, 0, true);

I try to get input from a textfield of type INPUT and save its numerical value on a couple of variables, but when i enter for example 1 or any digit i get Nan in the trace debug, after i put another digit i get the first after i put another one i get the first two and so on so forth. What i am doing wrong? Here some snippets from my code.
xSpeedField.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, inputXCapture);
private function initField(field:TextField, label:String, x:uint, y:uint):void {
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

I have an empty movie clip(say A) on a layer and then I have masked it with a display object(say a rectangle). Now I have an movie clip(say B) containing a input text field and I am adding this movie clip(B) dynamically in movie Clip(A).
When I compile it, the input text field is taking input for sure, cz I have applied some traces on change event of that field. But the characters inside the field are not showing up.

I just finished with developing my application by Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and I wonder if this will be visible to iPhones 4 because support for Retina displays was added since CS5.5.
There is section in my info.plist:
<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<string>1</string>

I have a web page with a couple of Flash Input TextFields. When I press a button on my web page, I am using javascript (jQuery) to get all the values from the text fields and checkboxes etc on the page.
In order to get a value out of my Flash TextField, I understand that I have to use the ExternalInterface API. I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
In the flash IDE, I have a layer with just the textbox instance and another layer 'actions', which has all the actionscript.
As soon as I put: import flash.external.ExternalInterface
in my code, then the textfields full functionality does not seem to work on the webpage.
I assumed what I had to do was something like:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getFlashFieldText", getText);
function getText():String {
return myTextField.text;
}
then I thought that perhaps I had to call a javascript function to return the textfields value like so:
function getText():void {
var word:String = myTextField.text;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", word);
}
but nothing is working, and I think it is strange that the textfields functionality (some letters being styled) does not work as soon as I import the ExternalInterface class. I have tried putting the ActionScript 'actions' layer in a package, but it didn't help. As you can probably tell I am new to Flash and Actionscript, and I would be very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction.

I have code for the user to enter their name in a text box. Once the submit button is clicked I want the name entered to be dispatched with an event as well as displayed on the stage. The reason I want the text field input name to be dispatched is because the text box to enter your name is on the main menu which is loaded and unloaded in order to play through various games.Below is the code to enter your name into the text box.
Code:
var NameTextField:TextField = new TextField();var MyFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
MyFormat.size = 20;
NameTextField.defaultTextFormat = MyFormat;[code].....

I'm interested in developing for the iPad and iPhone, but I'd prefer not to learn Apple's whole development stack (and good golly, I sure don't want to go back to manual memory management). Oh, sure, I could learn it, but I don't have that level of commitment to the environment at this point. I've got professional experience with Flex already, so I'm intrigued by Adobe's move to make Flash/Flex compile to the iPhone and iPad. My question is: how promising of a development path will Adobe's Slider be? Are we likely to see Slider publicly available in a reasonable timeframe (Adobe: "An early mobile branch of the Flex framework is expected to be available in 2010")? Are we likely to see reasonable performance? Are there development hurdles that haven't become clear yet? Heck, is it all just vaporware? There's pretty limited information available so far, as far as I've seen, but I'm interested in people's predictions, even if they're speculative.

I am looking to develop basic client server data application to add value to a website.
The website is .net based and opening an api such as asmx web service, json or xml would be simple.
Can anyone tell me what are the limitations - technically, what is possible with flash and also what Apple consider to be good practice.
Does anyone have any Actionscript code examples?

I'm interested in building a thick client application for my existing web services that will run on the IPhone. Flash finally seems to be an option, so I thought about using Flex for client side development.
However, since flash apps are not natively supported by the IPhone, but only through a wrapper, I was wondering if these apps can persist any data. Data entered by the user should eventually be transmitted to the web service, but until then I want it to persist even if the Iphone should run out of power.
Is this possible? Or does the Iphone flash wrapper make it impossible to access the hard disk?

I'm wondering if the flash packager for iPhone allows you to somehow save data in some kind of database maybe using Core Data or any other form? If it just allows you to export some kind of actionscript based game but doesn't allow for saving data that'd be kinda weak I'd assume so they must have a way (?).

I'm trying to create iphone apps using Flash CS5.5 and I have a doubt... I just created a simple app which plays a long sound (more than 5 min).
When the phone auto-locks, my sounds stop. If I unlock the phone, my audio resumes...
How could I do to avoid the lock, or dont interrupt the sound when the device auto-lock?

I use AS3 which I keep separate from my fla project.
I have a contact page and the textfield where you type your message is an Input textfield with multiline and textwrap enabled. The height of my textfield allows for 5 lines of text, then you will have to start scrolling after that.
I use a my own scroll bar nested in a movieclip with instance name "txtScroller"
The Input textfield instance name is "messageText"
What I want to do: I want to hide the "txtScroller" mc and show it when the user has typed more than 5 lines of text (using enter to break to a new line, etc).
Now for my problem: The first part of the code works, the "txtScroller" mc is hidden, and I have even tested it with the trace function (see code bellow).
I can for the life of me NOT get the the second part to work, the part where i want to show "txtScroller" mc again. I've treid with the trace function as well but it shows nothing in the 'output' pannel (see code bellow).
The Code:
This is all I have with regards to hiding or showing the "txtScroller" mc.
Code:
if (messageText.numLines <= 5) {
trace("less");
txtScroller.visible = false;

Is there any equivalent to a Flash projector for iPhone? Flash projectors basically seem to package script and Flash libraries into one executable file that can be run on a PC. I'm wondering if anyone has made a similar thing for iPhone where I can take my existing code and package it with the necessary iPhone stuff to make a PC executable. Of course hardware-specific things would not be available like accelerometer/phone/gps, etc. but I don't need any of those. If not, is there anyone currently attempting this?

I am a Flex developer. I wish to make flex applications for iphone. But, when I google up for the same, most of the link shows up that Adobe Flex and flash aren't supported on iphone.
Is this right ? Why it isn't supported ? If it is supported, which are the good books for developing iphone applications via flex.

I need to port an existing game written for the iPhone to Flash. The iPhone game is mainly written in pure C rather than Objective C.
I'm wondering if there are any good tools for converting the C code to Actionscript directly, or in general if anyone has some advice on how to do this porting in an efficient way given its C based source code?
Since the game will keep getting updated with bugfixes etc, a method allowing rapid conversion of the updated game code to Flash so that only one code base would need to be maintained would be optimal.
