View 6 RepliesTrying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
I have a dynamic text box that acquires text from a txt file.
Sometimes the text is greater than the text field so I want to be able to show a page up and page down button. However I do not want these displayed if the text does not exceed the field.
Currently the buttons are always displayed.
I understand how to get the text field info, I do not understand the "easy" bit of only loading the buttons if the text field size is exceeded.
I'm using Flash CS4 and AS2. Currently I have a fully functional contact form in flash that works along with PHP.The problem is: anything you type in the input spaces is accepted and, thus, sent to my mail.Is there a way to impose a format to the input text? For example, the "e-mail address" field should be entered in URL... format and the "Name" or "Body" should not have less than 3 characters. If those conditions aren't met, the mail won't be sent.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am very new to action script, and using action script 2.0, I am having a problem getting an input textbox to read in mathematical formulas. To enter 5x^2, the key sequence to be used is {5}{x}{2}. i.e., the characters must be formatted as it is being typed.
Ultimately, I want to enter equations like 5x^2-4x-2.
The textbox should not allow non-numerical characters other than x.

I'm fairly new to Flash (over the last few months I have followed Actionscripting in books and online tutorials and can do basics by essentially following the recipes, but am having considerably more problems putting it all together for my own program).
I am trying to create a program for my students that will take their text input in fields like author, title, publisher, date, place of publication, etc. and output bibliography citations in the proper format (complete with punctuation). What is the best way to handle the text formatting to add punctuation and make the citation entries? Your text tutorial on color and other properties is very good, as well as the input text that returns the words, but how do I go one more step to add my punctuation to the user's input?

View 3 RepliesI have some input text fields (by the text tool, not the component) in my form that I was wondering if they could be auto-formatted. I was looking specifically for dates & numbers. For example when the user inputs 082606 and then tabs away it would immediately update to 08/26/06, or when the user inputs 50000 it would immediately update to 50,000.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently having difficulty with input text fields. I have a flash file that begins with a form for the destined user to input text. Once they have input their text they click a button to continue and user is now shown a results page comprising of the text they have just entered. This i have managed to do.
However, when users click the 'go back button' to return to the form, possibly to correct a mistake they may have made, it seems that the text that they had entered previously has now been lost, and the input text fields have gone back to their original state.
how i can allow my users to return back to the form to make text changes, and have the form remember what text was inputed by the user and does not wipe the input text fields empty?
There is a lot of different topics allover on the interweb about how to make custom scrollbar for the dynamic text fields but none for the input text fields.

View 1 RepliesI am willing to use Macromedia Flash this year to make my physics project. Well, its going to be force resultant calculator. for ones dont know how it gets counted.
Well, I'll make 4 input text boxes, and a button in the middle. 1 text boxin the north, (power effect the body from the north) one on the south, one on the east and one on the west.(I've done that part).
Then, ill need it to subtract the north - south and east - west on(release), and display that on a dynamic box called Fx (east - west) and another called FY (north - south) Finally, I'll need it fethagorth the Fx and FY to give me the final force resultant. I've done the 4 input boxes and a button, I'll still need someone gimme the action script for subtraction and fethagorth (or atleast teach me how to do it).
I need to make a parser to be able to extract logical structure from a text input in order to construct a query for some web service.
I tried to use regular expressions but it gets really complicated to handle imbrication logic

the result should be something like this:
