Input Text Box, Clear On Click
I'm trying to figure out how to have an input text box instance display my message ("search by last name") and then when a user clicks on it the text clears and the user gets a left aligned insertion point.
i was hoping to do something like this:
Code:
stop();
var LO:Object = new Object();
LO.change=function(eventObject:Object){
itext.text="";
};
itext.addEventListener("change", LO);
but apparently that only works on instances of the textinput component and I need a custom font in there (so i have to use an input text box...right?)
any help would be appreciated.

Changing Input Field Text On Click?
Ok so in my flash i have a contact form. It has a name field, and the field already has the word 'Name' in it. As well as the Email field with 'Your Email Address' and a message field with 'Your message' in it.
What I need to happen is that when I click in the message field, or any of them, the label text (ex: Your Email Address) needs to disapear. But, I can't apply a onClick to an Input Text! How else can this be done?
How can i solve this problem!? Help!
The form works fine now and I would rather not change it up by putting it in movies or chainging properties or anything. WHat kind of workaround or solution is there?
THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!!

Input Text/query And Click To Search Google ?
> An input text field (variable="STRING") with a button next it > User types in something then clicks the button :> User is taken to the google search results for that what they typed in.
So i make the input text field a variable ("STRING") and then give the appropriate actions to the button - i tell it to somehow get the google search results page (*ttp://www.google.co.nz/search?q=something&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&lr=) and add in the right place the variable STRING (_root.STRING)
this is not the realistic way of searching google obviously but it will help me learn more about variables etc
any suggestions?
Adding Text To Input Field At The Click Of A Button
The www.bbc.co.uk/raw has a flash move at http://www.bbc.co.uk/raw/gamesandquizzes/storytelling/ choose "story writing" (left selection).
It has a simple way of adding text by clicking the button and adding it to the input field where the curser is left.
I have tried to repeat it with external .txt files but all i seem to be able to do is replace all the text when I click the button.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction or even give me an idea what this function is called so I can add it to my project.:confused:
Thanks

INPUT TEXT - How To Restrict Number Of Lines Of Text A User Can Input Into Textbox
In a flash form I've created I have a input textbox. I don't want the user to be able to input more than 7 lines of text. Is this possible to do? I know that I can set a value for 'max char', but this is not useful for me -- it's essential that the user cannot input more than 7 lines of text.
How can I limit the number of lines a user can input into a textbox?
Thanks!

Clear Input Textfield On Click
I have a mailform in my website which sends mail to my email. When a user enters an unvalid email (no "." or "@") the phrase "please enter a valid email" is seen in the input textfield. I want This phrase to go away as soon as the user clicks in the field, rather than having to select the phrase to delete it.
It should be rather easy but I need it to go with my current code which I have been having trouble with....
Code:
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
//
// set some variables
//
mailform = "mailform.php";
//confirm = "thank you a confirmation email has been sent to your email address.";
action = "send";
error1 = "Oops... enter a valid E-mail";
error2 = "Input required";
//
// and focus on variable fname
//
Selection.setFocus("name");
//
// validate email function
//
function validate(address) {
if (address.length>=7) {
if (address.indexOf("@")>0) {
if ((address.indexOf("@")+2)<address.lastIndexOf(".")) {
if (address.lastIndexOf(".")<(address.length-2)) {
return (true);
}
}
}
}
return (false);
}
//
// form check
//
function formcheck() {
if ((((email == null)) || (email.length<1)) || (email == "Oops... enter a valid E-mail")) {
email = error1;
action = "";
}
if (!validate(email)) {
email = error1;
action = "";
}
if ((name == null) || (name == "")) {
name = error2;
action = "";
}
if ((comments == null) || (comments == "")) {
comments = error2;
action = "";
}
if ((validate(email)) && (email != error1) && (name != "") && (name != error2) && (comments != "") && (comments != error2)) {
action = "send";
loadVariablesNum(mailform, 0, "POST");
gotoAndPlay("wait");
}
}
stop();
Help With Email Form - Input Text Boxes Not Allowing Input
i placed an email form into a movie clip in this site...and the input text boxes are no longer allowing me to type into them.
the email form (which i got from flashkit), as it's own file, works fine, so i know it's possible...but for some reason when i take the movie clip from one file and drag it into the one i'm working on...it loses that input text funcionality. All the actionscript is the same...everything is identical...i don't get it.
i even tried to place it on top of a movie clip within the main content clip thinking maybe because it was an mc within an mc within an mc that had something to do with it...but not the case.
any help you can provide is appreciated.
(attached file was saved as MX..orig is in MX 2004 Pro)
thanks.
oh, also....how would i load movie clips to different layers?...if i understand some things i've read here, that will help me speed up the site overall...as it is VERY slow in browser. but...maybe i'm wrong.
Enter Key On Input Field Needs To Trigger Button Click
I have a stripped down FLA here: http://www.webmarksonline.com/temp/detectenter.fla
where if you click the button, a label saying "Button clicked" will display. This was accomplished using the following actionscript attached to the button...
on(release) {
display._visible =true;
}
Now I want to make it so that when the enter key is pressed in the edit field, the same thing happens.
On the button actionscript, I have used ...
on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
display._visible = true;
}
But does not work. Why not? Google search says that this should work. I'm on Flash 8, by the way.
Remove Input Text On Input Text Box Select?
Right now I've got an input text box with an instance name of EMail and Var of EMail. Then in my AS I've got:
code: var EMail:String = "Enter Your Email Address";
which puts "Enter Your Email Address" in the text box when it displays. What I'd like to do is when a user clicks inside the box to enter their email address is for that string to disappear.
Input Text To Show Up In Input Text Box In Later Frame
Hi, I am making a game where the player enters his or her name into and input text box at the beginning and then prints out a certificate at the end with his or her name on it. This is the actionscript I am using, however, this only allows me to have the box where the player enters his or her name to be on the same frame as where the text appears.
input_txt.onKillFocus = function () {
user_name = input_txt.text;
input_txt2.text = user_name;
}
_global.style.setStyle("fontSize",30);
I was wondering if there was anyway to modify this script to make it so that the name appears in the input_txt2 box in a later frame.
Thanks,
Lindsay

Hi,
I don't know ASP, CGI, PHP etc. I do, however, have a flash form with two input text fields named “E-mail” and “Name”, and a submit button.

Also, if this is not possible, what is the simplest way to learn PHP or whatever is most appropriate to get these goals accomplished.

Input Text Field Won't Allow Input
We are having a really strange and stupid sounding problem with a text input box. It appears but won't allow any input. Before you shout 'stupid newbie' yes the properties are correctly defined as input text etc.
The input field is in a movie clip i.e. _root.myClip but we have never had this problem before. It is probably something obvious to to prevent us pulling out all of our hair has anyone got any idea why this is happening. We have tried forcing the text box focus etc but to no avail.
Help us!!!!!!!

Trasfering Text From One Dynamic Text Box To A Input Text Box On A Differnt Page?
Ok so I have a text box set up which receives the date on a callendar which you click on. On another page (a seperate html file) I have an input text box for receiveing this text.
I've been trying to do this using various methods using getURL, but, I can't get it to work. This is becoming tedious especially as I'm not able to test it without having to reupload the files.
If someone could please inform me on how I should do this I'd be vary greatful.
If you need any further information I'll reply as soon as possible.
Input Boxes - Then Printing A Frame With Dynamic Boxes With The Input Text In Them...
I have created a flash document with input text... I put the input text with a a variable for each.. I need to print the variables on a seperate page. I used a bounding box inside a movie clip and the printing is working correctly... However it is not reading my input boxes into the dynamic text boxes..
What I did is I have the input boxes on the root timeline........ You input it and go through a few frames and you get the option to print from a button (which is printing 2nd frame of a movie symbol) NOTE: the printing is working correctly using #b.... This is what I have on the 2nd frame of the movie clip for the dynamic text boxes to read the input boxes and place those variables inside of those dynamic text boxes so it will print them as they inputted them...
Here is what I have for my button:
on (press) {
print(_root.Printing, "bmovie")
}
Here is what my variables are on the input boxes which are sitting on the root timeline, each word is a variable:
curious
passionate
accountable
resourceful
commited
teamwork
open
engerizing
External_focus
Clear_thinker
Imagination_courage
Inclusive_leader
Expertise
INSIDE THE PRINTING MOVIE I HAVE A FRAME WITH THIS ACTION ON IT FOR THE DYNAMIC TEXT BOXES TO READ THE INPUT TEXT BOXES:
External_focus1 = _parent.External_focus;
Clear_thinker1 = _parent.Clear_thinker;
Imagination_courage1 = _parent.Imagination_courage;
Inclusive_leader1 = _parent.Inclusive_leader;
Expertise1 = _parent.Expertise;
curious1 = _parent.curious;
passionate1 = _parent.passionate;
accountable1 = _parent.accountable;
resourceful1 = _parent.resourceful;
commited1 = _parent.commited;
teamwork1 = _parent.teamwork;
open1 = _parent.open;
engerizing1 = _parent.engerizing;
FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT PRINTING MY INPUT BOX INFORMATION IN THE DYNAMIC TEXT BOXES.... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?
Long Text Doesn't Fit Inside Single-line Input Text Field
Hi, I've been browsing these forums for a long time but this is my first post.
I'm creating an interface by which a user can design and order their own customized decal. Please see my example (I've added my script at the bottom of this post):
http://www3.sympatico.ca/sin.young/decaldesigner.html
My issues are:
1. I've set the character limit to 21, but if you were to type in 21 "W"s into the input field for whatever reason, or choose a wider font, the text shifts to the left and some of the characters become hidden as they don't all fit. I'd like to make the width of the text to always fit inside of the width of the white area. I can't figure out how to make this work.
Here's an example that does pretty much what I'm trying to describe: www.stickerjunkie.com.
2. I have the Standard Colors combo box working perfectly but can't seem to get the Fonts combo box working.
Any hints or links to actionscript tutorials/help that might be useful to my predicament is extremely appreciated.
// display colors and formatting
decalColor = new Color(decal);
color1 = new Color(decalColor);
//
function changeColor(comp) {
decalColor.setRGB(comp.getSelectedItem().data);
}
//Standard Colors array
standardcolors = [{label:'STANDARD COLORS'},
{label:'White', data:0xffffff},
{label:'Black', data:0x000000},
{label:'Silver', data:0x9c9c9c},
{label:'Gray', data:0x636b73}];
collistStandard.setDataProvider(standardcolors);
collistStandard.setSelectedIndex(0);
collistStandard.setChangeHandler('changeColor');
//
//Fonts array
myfonts = [{label:'FONTS'},
{label:'Arial', data:'Arial'},
{label:'Serpentine', data:'Serpentine'},
{label:'Enviro', data:'Enviro'},
{label:'Forte', data:'Forte'}];
fontlist.setDataProvider(myfonts);
fontlist.setSelectedIndex(0);
fontlist.setChangeHandler('');

You will see what i mean if you view the file.

[MX04] How Do I Make A Dynamic Text Always Have The Exact Same Text As An Input?
Well, I want the player of my game to be able to type in the name they want, but the script in the frame I have does not work.
I have two movie clips on the same frame. One is a character selection menu that allows you to put in your name using an input box called ", choose your face, etc., then you click the blue button to close that movie clip (Skips to empty frame 2 in the movie clip), showing the actual level, where your HUD that is supposed to show your name that you typed in the input text box is.
I put this non-working code in the frame:
_root.charactermenu.playername.text = _root.player_HUD.player_name.text;
Yes, I am aware that I put an underscore in one, and not in the other. It is to prevent confusion.
The first part is the input text and the second is the HUD part.
Can anyone help me get this working?
Actionscript: Email Text From An Input Text Field Problem.
I am having difficulty with my email example.
I am using Flash mx2004 pro 7.2
(This example needs to be viewed in a explorer browser)
My first problem is that when you type in the & Character into the input text field.
The text following the & Character cuts out when sending info to the outlook program..
The code on my send button looks like this:
on (release) {
getURL("mailto:Youraddress@domain.com?subject=Stan dard title"+"&body="+body);
}
I would also like to find out if it’s possible to retain text format from a copy/paste job into a input text field that translates all the way to outlook.
Thanks for any suggestions you may provide.

Can't Access Dynamic Text>properties>var (text Input Field) In AS3
Hello,
I got VB to put text in a dynamic text field I created in actionscript 2 but can't get it to work with as3. The difference being that in as2 I can draw a dynamic text field on the stage name the instance 'testField' in properties and then there is a var: text box also in properties where I can add a variable name 'testVar.' As3 won't let me access that var:text box in properties. Why is this? For some reason VB needs both the instance name 'testField' and also the variable name 'testVar.' How do I set the variable name in as3 for a dynamic text field? Is the var:text box in properties to give the dynamic text field a variable name in as2?
Thank you if you can help me clear this up! If something in my questions does not make sense please ask me!
Button WITH Text & Input Text Field Color Difference
Hi all,
In Flash MX 2004 Pro, I am trying to create a rectangular button that has the word "Enter" on it. For some reason, the text is gone and I don't know what happened to it. Can someone take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?
Oh, also... There is an input text field I created, but it's white (and so is the rest of the movie). How can I change it so that the background of the entire scene is different from the input text field (so it is seen)?
Thanks!
Chris
PS. I'm a Flash NEWBIE so please use small words!

Highlighting Text In Input Text Fields Automatically...
hi
i've searched the forums on this topic and attempted the solutions that i found but i can't get them to work the way i need to.. so here's what i need help with..
i have created a study planner that allows students to input the amount of hours they spend on particular activities during a day.. the total hours of the day remaining updates dynamically as does the amount of time remaining in a week.. to keep it all working nicely (and avoid a 'NaN' error) i force the value of the input box to always be 0..
what i would like to have happen is when the students click in the input box the 0 is automatically highlighted so they can just type over the top of it.. at the moment i just have an instruction telling them they need to highlight the 0 before they type but this just seems clumsy..
i got automatic highlighting working with textfield.onChanged but that only highlighted the text that the user has put in, ie after the textbox changed!.. i would like to avoid having to use a button as well.. any ideas would be greatly appreciated!.. i'm going round in circles.. i have attached the .fla
i'm using flash MX2004 professional...
thanks in advance,

Input Text To Scrolling Dynamic Text Field - Help
Greetings all:
I am attempting (with little success) to come up with a way to do the following:
1. Have user type input into an input field and have it display in another dynamic text field - Got that done.
2. I would like the display text field to scroll automatically across the screen (to the left). I can get it to scroll once user hits enter key, but no luck with the continuous scroll and still have the ability to add words to the field.
My code is below which works in so far as it goes, it scrolls up one word at a time. I am using Flash Mx and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
button_two.onPress = function() {
word();
rootup();
}
//show.text=_root.input.text
function word() {
show.text=_root.input.text
input.text=""
thing.gotoandstop(2);
example2.push(show.text);
preview2 = example2.join("<br>");
}
function rootup() {
_root.up = true;
scroll_words();
}
function scroll_words() {
if (_root.up) {
_root.preview2.scroll += 1;
}
else if (_root.down) {
_root.preview2.scroll -= 1;
