Flash :: [AS]add A Form Into Text Field

Trying To Pass Text From Form Text Field To A Flash Dynamic Text Field
Hi, I was hoping someone might enlighten me as to how/if I can do this...

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:

Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

Your help/advice would be greatly appreciated,

How To Validate A Form's Text Field
I'm not very good with scripting, and am having a problem with a simple form that has 3 states: the form itself; an "invalid" error frame; and a "thanks" frame for successful submissions.

I need to setup 2 conditions for a field, in which the user types in their name. it's named "lotusnotesID".

if the field has any blank spaces, it should goto the "invalid" frame that displays an error message and asks them to retype their ID. if the field doesn't have any periods between their name (e.g. john.m.smith) they should goto the "invalid" frame and retype their ID.

my actions are set up in a button within the form. it reads as follows:

on (press) {
if (lotusnotesID == "Key.SPACE" ne "." ne "") {
gotoAndStop ("invalid");
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("http://creativeservices.accenture.com/client.stage/sfmoma/cdontsMail.asp", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop ("thanks");
}
}

as far as I can tell, it's setup correctly. the problem is that when I test it, the submit button will take me to the "invalid" frame if the text field contains a space, or is missing a period, or is blank, but once I'm in the "invalid" frame and retype the ID correctly, it won't submit properly and goto the "thanks" frame. also, if I type the name correctly initially, it works fine.

am I using the correct operators? any ideas?

thanks very much,
dan

Form Field Text Formatting Help
hello guys and a happy new year

I have once again started tinkering about with another part of my site. the form fields for contact, postnew(forum), postMsg(siteinbox) I am trying to take away the basic formatting sys i have
code:
//Bold but
msgfield.text+=msg+" <b>type bold text here</b>"

Pretty much the same for italic and underline.

Now i have seen a form field somewhere that when you high-light the text and then press the B button and the text gets formatted.
I tried downloading a couple of the text editers from flashcomponents.net but i am still none the wiser.

Anyone know how i can do this

Form Field To Check Length Of Input Text
i'm trying to get a Flash form to test certain conditions, one of which is the full date (ie 2006 as opposed to 06), but the AS below (in bold) isn't working... does anybody know the right script?

on (release) {
if (!name.length) {
text.emailstatus = "please enter your name";
} else if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
text.emailstatus = "please enter a valid email";

FLASH MX Form, Tab Index, Move To Next Text Field
I am pretty new to flash, especially with the action script side. But here is what I am trying to do.

I a have a fairly simple form, what I want to have happen, is when a user enters a value in a text field, automatically move to the next text field.

Secondly, when pressing the tab key, move to a specific text field, or rather, follow a specific tab order.

It sounds odd but the flash form is a version of a paper form which has to be scanned for OCR after it is printed. So where a user enters in a last name, it is actually a series of one character text fields. This ensures that the text lines up exactly as the OCR expects to see it. Making it a multi character text field will not allow the text to line up so I am fairly certain I have to do it this way. When the user enters the first letter of the last name, it will automatically advance to the second letter box for the last name and so on until the last field is reached. If at any time the user hits tab, I want them to be taken to the first name section, which is just like the last name, a series of one character text boxes.

Does this make sense, it is possible, ikmpossible or really hard to do?

Thanks
Doug

Form Field Styling (Input Text Formatting)
Is there a way to format multiple form fields (input text) at the same time? For instance, I have a form with 10 input text fields and I want all of them to have black borders and gray backgrounds. To do this, I've coded one as:
txtInput1.border = true;
txtInput1.borderColor = 0x000000;
txtInput1.background = true;
txtInput1.backgroundColor = 0xCCCCCC;

Is there a way for me to create a sort of "style" that I could apply all of these values to a text input easily, the way TextFormat can apply text styles?

Auto Submit From Flash Form Cfinput Text Field

Send Email From "input Text Field" Or Form...HElp
I'm trying to figure out how to send email without launching a
composition window (from an email client). I've gone through some
tech notes on macromedia.com, but can't find what I'm looking for!
I have an "input text field" and "send" button. I want the user to be able
to enter their email address and click the button to send the info without
launching another window or app. I know it's probably a Variable thing...
I've tried and can't get it to work. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thanx!

[FMX04] AS - Showing Text Field As HTML Field With XML/CDATA.
Hey all -

Trying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.

The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:

this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()

I know I need to do more than just change it to ".html" instead of ".text" and have tried a couple things, but nothing seems to work.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Code:
//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML ();
myXML.load(newXml);
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

//Load XML file
myXML.load("PBintro.xml");
//Make a reference to current timeline
myXML.ref = this
// Parse XML and fetch
myXML.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
var root = this.firstChild ;
nodes = root.childNodes
for(var i=0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
this.ref["Title_txt"+i].text = nodes[i].attributes.name
subnodes = nodes[i].childNodes
this.ref["Comments_txt"+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["Link_txt"+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["Link_txt"+i] = subnodes[1].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].loadMovie(subnodes[2].firstChild.toString())
this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["textField"+i] = subnodes[4].firstChild.toString()

Input Text Field To Dynamic Text Field
Ok, I have an input text field with a variable name of "enter", and a dynamic text field with a variable name of "display". I also have a button on the stage. I want it so that when you press the button, it checks what the user has put into the input text field, and if it is valid it will display a certain message in the dynamic text field.
For example:
If the user types in "hydrogen" and then clicks the button, I want the dynamic text field to display the letter H. Likewise, if the user types in "oxygen" and then clicks the button, I want the dynamic text field to display the letter O. And finally, if the user types in something that is not specified in the code, it will just display "Not Valid".
I tried doing this with an on(release) action and then some if statements, but nomatter what I typed in it would always display H. I'm probably overlooking something simple, but nonetheless, I need help. Thanks

XML And MC Text Field Propigation (text Field Appear At Frame 2)
I am using xml and actionscript to propicate two fields in a mc.

The problem I am having is that both fields dont show up until the second frame of the mc. since they are not on the first frame the xml doesnt propicate the fields.

Is there any way to refence a field on the second from of a MC

I am using the following code:

Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

_root.attractions = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.description = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;

_root.theaterinfo.header.text = _root.attractions;
_root.theaterinfo.description.text = _root.description;

} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}

xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("attractions.xml");

stop();
The text boxs header and description dont appear until the second frame of the MC theaterinfo

If i move these text field to the first frame they propigate with their text just fine. once they are moved to the second frame they no longer work.

edit: I also would like to mention that the movie clip theaterinfo has frame one blank with a stop(); command and then on frame 2 the dynamic text fields are referenced.

all help is much apreaciated
Thanks

Tab Key To Next Form Field

Form Field
Hi
How do I apply a script like this to a Form text-field?

<input type="text" value="Newsletter" onFocus="clearText(this)">

This javascript is placed in the header of the HTML-file

<script>
function clearText(thefield){
if (thefield.defaultValue==thefield.value)
thefield.value = ""
}
</script>

The script empties the textfield as the user clicks it!
The textfield has the varible letterField applied to it in the Flash-file.

Form Field Value And No Value
How can I do this in flash. You know how in html forms you can do this:

PHP Code:

onblur="this.value='enter email address';" onfocus="this.value='';"

What I have are some form fields that have some text in it as a defalut value then when the person sets focus in the form field the value disappears. Now if the place a value in the form field then move to the next form field thus losing focus on the first form field. I would like the info they input in there to remain there. But if nothing was placed show the default value. I know how to do it in html but not in flash. Pleez help. Would love to do some flash forms.

Asp Database Field Loaded Into Dynamic Text Field -HELP
Hi all,
after much trial and error and still having troubles i thought i would ask people that maybe know what there doing.
Im using Flash 8 pro, and have placed textarea component on stage and gave it an instantce name, need to pull a single record from a record database using asp.

This is my approach but if there is an even easier way let me know.

I have created the following pages.
webpage.asp (end result web page that shows the text field to user)
script.asp( asp script that sends data back/forth to flash

i used the FlashVars param to pass a variable into the flash movie.
variable is named auto_num. im using this to then pass it back out of flash to filter the recordset.

then on the flash movie.swf. all on root level. i have the following code

var text_value; //(this is the value sent back from asp page string)
//not sure if i needed to declare it but did anyways.

var_sender = new LoadVars();
myData = new LoadVars();

var_sender.auto_number = auto_num //(auto_num is loaded flashvars param)

myData.onLoad = function() {
my_text_1.text = this.text_value
};
myData.sendAndLoad("http://www.********.com/script.asp", myData ,"POST");

on the script page i have a record set that filters for form variable named auto_number. all of code is in asp. I call a response.write to write the text_value back to the flash movie.

here is the heart of the script.asp code. not showing the record set filtering stuff.

<% Dim text_value
text_value = "text_value="&(Recordset1.Fields.Item("long_des"). Value)

response.write(text_value)
%>

but i get undefined and can never get the variables to load into the flash movie. i want to export as flash player 6 or 7. what am i doing wrong here?

So in a nutshell, i have an asp page that shows a record and would like to display the long description field of that record in a flash dynamic text box.

I can make it work by passing the entire long description from record set within the flashvars param but that seems like a real clunky way to do it pasing that much text within the flashvars param.

Does anyone know of simple database connectivity kits that extend flash for the semi-programmer guys?

this is the actionscript for my button:

on (release) {
subject = "Mailing List";
this.loadVariables("http://www.djbreak.com/simplemail.php", "POST");
}

this is my php script:

<?php

$email ="breakgetnice@aol.com";

$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];

$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];

mail($email, $subject, $message);

echo "mailstatus=Thank you for joining!&thescript=done&";

?>

Why This Form Field Does Not Work
i set up text feld set it to dynamic

then attached the scroll bar

and still i can not see the scroll bar just the whitefield where the scroll should be

can someone tell me what i am doing ewrong

Only 1st Field In Form Clears
Hello and thank you.

I am using Flash 8 to make an email form.
I have 5 fields but only the first field clears when you click
on the clear button.

This is the action script that I have. Any ideas?

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release) {
_parent.your_name="Name:";
_parent.your_phone="Phone:";
_parent.your_email="Email:";
_parent.your_weddingdate="Wedding Date:";
_parent.your_message="Message:";
}

Flash Form Field To ASP
I am using cs2 (flash 8 action script 2).

I want to take a field and send it to an asp page to use the information for a search.

It seems to recieve it in the asp page, (only it is huge---literally-see attached)

The field is named Qzip

My Flash Action Script is:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.4manscramble.net/content/courses/search.asp", "_self", "POST");
}

My asp code isnote this is the basics as the real search is a ton of trig code)

strZIPCode = Request("Qzip")

If strZIPCode = "" then
Response.Write "<font color=red >We are sorry the zipcode wasn't read right. We have sent this issue to our team. Feel free to try again</font>"
strZIPCode = "44024"
Else
Response.Write "the zipcode is: "&strZipCode&""
End If

DatabaseQuery = "SELECT Latitude, Longitude FROM ZIPCodes WHERE ZIPCode =" & strZIPCode & " "
Response.Write ("<br>The Query ="&DatabaseQuery&"<br>")

Dim rsZIPCodes: Set rsZIPCodes = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsZIPCodes.Open DatabaseQuery, dbConn

If rsZIPCodes.EOF Then
'ZIP Code does not exist - report to user...

Response.Write "<font color=red >We could not find that zip code. Feel free to try again</font>"

Else
do the search
