Clicking A Textfield: Why Do I Have To Hit The Letters?
Hi!
I feel silly with this... problem. I made a button out of a textfield. I can click it.
But why do I have to hit the text itself to trigger the button and not any area of the textfield? I mean, if I hit the empty space of the letter "o" for example, the button does not detect the event.
How silly is that!?
Thanks for your help with this.

Textfield In ScrollPane > Textfield Only Accessible With Clicking Twice
hi!
i have a scrollPane on the stage which contains an editable textfield.
unfortunately i can only access the textfield in the pane when i click on it twice. it seems that the first click goes for the activation of the pane and then comes the textfield.
does anybody have an idea how to solve that problem?
// Text Field
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.text = "Please insert text";
myTextField.selectable = true;
myTextField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT ;
// ScrollPane
var myScrollPane:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
myScrollPane.source = myTextField;
addChild(myScrollPane);

Get Length Of Letters In Textfield
Hey all,
I've got a movie with a horizontal line graphic to the right of a dynamic textfield for a page title(it's pulling the text from a PHP variable).I would like the line to always follow just behind the last letter of whatever text is passed. Is there a piece of actionscript that gets the "length", or perhaps "width", of letters in a textfield so I can dynamically change the x position of the graphic?

Random Letters On Textfield
I have several textfields, and on each one I´d like to have a random letter to appear. No ciclying, just to appear.
I´d tought about putting a letter on each frame of a movie clip and making the frame random, but maybe the letters beeing danamic could make the swf lighter.
is it possible?

Colouring Individual Letters In TextField
Hi,
I was wondering if somebody could offer some assistance as to how one would colour individual letters in a textField.
I have noticed in CS3 that you can only do this in static textFields, but you can not create these via actionscript which is what i would optimally like because i will be using a fair few of these types of objects.
Is the only possibility to make the amount I need in the FLA file and get a handle to them from the as file or is there a textClass i have missed?
Help is much appreciated!

Addressing Individual Letters In Dynamic Textfield
Hi there,
i couldn't find anything about it, so is there a way to address individual letters in a dynamic textfield? I'd like to do some text tweenings but could not find a poper way of instanciating single letters. Of course it is possible to create a new textfield for text-values stored in an array, but this seem to be quite inefficient to me.

Check Whether Characters In Input Textfield Are Numbers Or Letters?
I just can't get this right.
I have two textfields:inputTxt (INPUT)
statusTxt (DYNAMIC)
I have a button, which when pressed should check whether the characters entered into the input field are numbers or letters.
I have tried:
Code:
private function onMouseUp(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (isNaN(inputTxt.text)) {
statusTxt.text = 'You have not entered a number';
}else {
statusTxt.text = 'You have entered a number';
}
}
I realise now that isNAN() only checks a variable value rather than a string value.
How does one do this?

Clicking On A Sprite With A Textfield Child
Hello kirupers!!!
I've been out of as3 for a few weeks but when I start coding again, I start coming back again to the forum
I have a movieclip in the library (menu_button) which only consists of a textfield. This is an item of a dynamic menu I build by adding new instances of the menu_button class.
It seems that when I click in the movieclip, it's the textfield that fires the mouse event, instead of the movieclip which contains the textfield.
Whe I do trace(event.target.type) I get "dynamic" (for dynamic textfield I supose...)
Another problem I have is that when I do menu_button.buttonMode= true I don't get that gloved hand we all love...
this should be simple... Am I missing something important?
TIA!

Clicking Lingage Inside Library. I Think Im Braking A Clicking Record ..
I´m going crazy I have to export 773 files inside my library. All files are small sound clips. So I have to right click 773 times and choose export for actionscript. However the filenames are just as I want the identifier to be so if there would only be a command like
"Export selected items for actionscript using the current filename "
it would save my day.
If anyone know how to do this in a quicker way please let me know.
Thanks

[mx + Flash8] Different Mouse Events For Clicking Or Clicking And Dragging
Hi there,
there's something that nearly makes my head explode ...i'm in desperate need for your help
what i want to achieve is an online magazine where you can:
- flip the pages by clicken on the corners
- click on the pages to zoom in
- if zoomed in, click to drag the page around
- click again on the page to zoom out.
like in this example: http://www1.visions-weekly.de/epaper/epaper.html
what i have so far is:
as i'd never ever be able to program the pageflip thingy myself,
i bought a pageflip component from the lovely guys at flashloaded.com, so the magazine itself is set up, all the pages are in and i can flip them by clicking on the corners ...sweeet
now comes the tricky part (at least for me)
i put an invisible button on top of the book. i started with the zoom function and used the onClipEvent(mouseDown) and (mouseUp) functions. if clicked for the first time i scale (xscale, yscale) the book to 120%. on the next click i zoom back to 100%. That worked out of the box
Now i wanted to integrate the dragging. the book shall be dragged only when the mouse button is pressed ...but i didn't find a function for that. What i can achieve is either drag it after it got clicked or drag it always when clicked.
for example i tried this code:
i defined 3 variables in the main timeline:
firstclick (to monitor if it is the first click or not)
clicker (to monitor if the button is clicked right now)
dragger (to monitor if the book gets dragged)
Code:
onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(_root.firstclick=="0"){
_root.firstclick="1";
}
else{
_root.clicker="1";
}
}
onClipEvent(mouseMove){
if(_root.clicker=="1"){
_root.dragger="1";
_root.mybook.startDrag();
};
}
onClipEvent(mouseUp){
if(_root.firstclick=="1"){
_root.mybook._xscale=120;
_root.mybook._yscale=120;
_root.firstclick="2";
}
else if(_root.dragger=="0"){
_root.clicker="0";
_root.firstclick="0";
_root.mybook._xscale=100;
_root.mybook._yscale=100;
_root.mybook._x=10;
_root.mybook._y=10;
}
else if(_root.dragger=="1"){
_root.dragger="0";
_root.clicker="0";
_root.mybook.stopDrag();
}
}
the zooming works but not the dragging (i presume because the dragging would start after the click not while the button is pressed.
i tried to work with listeners (for the first time) but to no avail, because if i listen for clicks or drags that interfered with the pageflip function where you click and drag the pages as well.
can some one ...pretty pretty please ... show me a better way to achieve this?
yours
Stefan

Loading Text & JPG Nito TextField Makes Textfield White
Hi guys !
Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why.
If you have any clues... I'd be really thankful
The AS I'm using:
_target.container.t.html = true
_target.container.t.condenseWhite = true
_target.container.t.autoSize = "left";
_target.container.t.htmlText = _data.texto
The String ( &HTML ):
"Text lorem ipsum bla bla ..... <img style='WIDTH: 154px; HEIGHT: 59px' height='298' width='856' alt='' src='http://www.spacilong.com/arq/img/AlcatelLucent_Hor_2col_sm.jpg' />

Letters And ASP
I have a strange problem.
I'm working on this website where we combinate Flash and ASP.
Everything is working fine, except that we can't use the special letter for the norwegian language.
On the other way we can "hardcode" it in flash and it's working there. We can set a variabel with these letters, and it's working. But we get problems when we read from the ASP script.
Here is some of the code.
function getnewsText()
{
var n = new LoadVars();
n.newsheading = nyhetvalg;
var m = new LoadVars();
m.onLoad = getResponse;
n.sendAndLoad("news/maintext.asp", m, POST);
}
Anyone who have had that problem?
I'm pretty confused and I'm not shure that the problem is in the Flash file or the asp script file.
It's seems that is working both places but not together.
I hope somebody can help me.
Remi

Textfield Woes, How To Anti-Alias A Dynamic Textfield?
this is driving me nuts, even if i have it marked so that my dynamic textfield is anti aliased, it still looks as if its text is aliased. And if i simply make that textfield Static, the text all of a sudden looks amazingly crisp and anti aliased.
How can i fix this?! I am attempting to load xml data into my text fields but its wasted if the text looks like crap..
So can anyone enlighten me on how to do this? i tried searching Flashs help, all i came out with was "Textfield._quality" but i do not understand what the description means exactly.. And i tried coding my textfield to _quality = "BEST";, with no avail.
Please help, i'v seen other websites with what i am sure is dynamically loaded fields, and smooth looking text... so what gives?
Thanks!

[textfield] How To Check If Input Text Is More Than Textfield Height?
Hi guys, Is there a way to check if the text that has been input into the textfield is more than the height of the textfield.
I have set the scrollbar hidden and it will become unhidden once the text is greater the the textfield height.
I did try to count the input text and set the visiblity of the scrollbar against that count. Unfortunatly this is unreliable.
Anyone got a better idea?
Cheers
Paul

Link In Dynamic Textfield To Jump To Section Of Same Textfield
Howdy all,
I know you've all seen this before - you are on a website and you click a link and you stay on the same page but jump down to a different section of the page. Like an FAQ page or something where all the questions are listed above but you click on one and jumps down to the answer below.
Is it possible to do this in a dynamic (scrollable) textfield with externally loaded text files in Flash? I don't have DW and I know that there are limited html tags available but if anyone knows an easy way to do this please let me know!
thanks!

Shuffle Letters
Hi all!
I have a variable = "REFERENCER".
I want to have each letter to shuffle around randomly at the
same time. After a certain amount of time, each letter ends with the right letter. (REFERENCER).
It should be something like this example, but only the letters should change at the same time.

Random Letters?
Is there away to get random letters? I know there are for numbers, but unsure of letters.
I am trying to get text to reveal itself as it does in:
http://www.thisdotcomtaken.com/v5/main_load.html
A group of numbers and letters changing at the fps speed and then magically spells out the word. Each time is random in which letter stops first, so I'm figuring that each 'letter space' of the word would have a random value of how many times to go through the loop until it equals the appropriate letter. Is that the best way?
But it still comes down to me being stuck about how to get a random letter.
any help would be much apprecaited.

Expanding Letters
I have a movie which duplicates to animate letters falling from the sky and spelling a word. However, the last bit of the animation scales the letter by 400% to make it more readable but when I do this the letters all end up overlapping each other. I could increase the _x gap between them during the duplication loop but then the animations widen out off the stage. So the question is, how do I adjust the _x value of the final resting place using the loop variable from the duplication script? Whatever I seem to do seems to do nothing!
Thanks!
