Form Field Validation, Specially Email Field. Any Ideas?
Hi. I have a simple flash form designed for my website i have all things done but i am not getting the idea how to validate the "Email" field like you validate it in JavaScript for an "@" and a "." to be present in the finally submitted form. I need to do it in ActionScript as the other form validation is done in it as well. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks

Help With Create Text Field
Okay I'm really new to create text field. I am trying to make some text appear (obviously) so I decided to create an object that would execute it and then I could place the text. What's wrong with it?
ActionScript Code:
attachText = function(textName, depth, x, y, newWidth, newHeight) { this.textName = textName; this.depth = depth; this.x = x; this.y = y; this.newWidth = newWidth; this.newHeight = newHeight; this.textClip = _root.createTextField(this.textName, this.depth, this.x, this.y, this.newWidth, this.newHeight);};this.attackText = new attachText("hitAmntText", 150, this.attackWho.clip._x, this.attackWho.clip._y-50, 200, 100);this.attackText.textClip.text = this.hitAmnt;
I am also new to OOP so go easy if it's way off Any help, greatly appreciated! thanks

Can I Create A Curved Text Field?
Hi all,
is it possible to create a static curved text field?
I know you can do it as a movie by breaking each letter into individual symbols, but I need a solution that is just a static text field that can be typed straight into.
Its a template file you see - a pie chart - for other flash newbies to use and has to be dummy proof, so that they can type straight into it. code or animation is a no no.
A simple static curved text field? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance...
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,
-Scott
Tab Key To Next Form Field
I have a form-like interface. I want to polish it off by setting it up to allow the user to press the tab key to advance to the next input text field. It seems that there should be a tutorial for this, but I can't find one. Any suggestions?
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.

Dynamically Create Buttons Containing Text Field
ok here's what i'm trying to do. I've tried a lot of things so far and all with no luck...
I need to create a list of buttons each of which contains text which is loaded dynamically. The idea is to have an external file with a list of names and upon loading this file flash will generate the appropriate number of buttons each with a name.
So far what i've done is load the names in to an array. and then iterate though the array each time trying to generate a new instance of a button with incremented coordinates and the respective name.
i'll keep plugging away but any ideas would be much appreciated.
thanks.

How To Create An Editable Text Field At Runtime?
I can create a text field and add it to an mc, like this:

But it is not visible on the stage, nor can you type in it. You can pass values into it, but how do you make it editable?
Create Text Field And Getbounds With Actionscript
I am trying to create a text field that uses the getbounds command command to make the text field locate itself under a movie clip. I am loading jpeg's into the movie clip so the movie clip resizes depending on the image size. I would like the text field to appear under the movie clip no matter the size of the image. Everything is working fine except that the create text field command is executing before the movie has a chance to fully load so the text field is appearing under the original movie clip and not the resized version after the image loads. I am thinking of inserting a time delay before the create text field command carries out but I am sure that there has to be a better way. Any help with this little problem would be greatly appreciated.

Field Focus In A Form
Hello, I have a form that contains a back button, when you click the back button the movie goes to frame one where data can be input again. What I am trying to do is get the form to focus on a certain field when it goes to frame one again. I have tried Selection.setFocus and it doesnt seem to be working. the form clip is a movie placed on _level0. This is the code I am using for the back button. What am I doing wrong?
on (release, keyPress "<Left>") {
gotoAndStop (1);
Selection.setFocus("_level0.fname");

Multi-field Form To Be Sent Via Asp
Hello!
I know that there are several tutorials that show how to make forms but I'm having a heck of a time making one work.
I need to create a form that has 10 input fields in it and have that info sent to an email address via asp.

Reseting Form Field
I've created a simple form with one input field for viewers to submit an email address to join a mailing list. It works great, the only problem is after they click the submit button, the input field (message) doesn't reset OR my dynamic text field (mailstatus) thanking them for joining. Can anyone help?
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&";
?>

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

Drop-down Form Field In AS3
Hey all,
Is it possible to make a drop-down form field w/in AS3? I don't need to send any data externally or anything -- so I don't need (I assume) any PHP code.
The selected value from the field is simply going to change a variable in the timeline.
Thx
How Do I Validate This 3 Field Form?
Here is my function checkForm.
3 Fields - Name, Message & Email
Name = This should be more than 1 character
Message = This should be more than 1 character
Email = This is booleon set (True or False)
If these 3 Fields meet up to this criteria - I would like it to proceed to the else statement I have below.
I would like a method of validation which is alot more effective than the one used below:
ActionScript Code:
function checkForm() {
var myName = _root.pages_mc.nameField.text;
var myMessage = _root.pages_mc.messageField.text;
var myEmail = _root.pages_mc.emailField.text;
//VALIDATE NAME & MESSAGE FIELD
if (myName == ""){
_root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "Please fill out your name";
Selection.setFocus(_root.pages_mc.nameField);
} else if (checkEmail(myEmail) == false){
_root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "You have entered an invalid email address";
} else if (myMessage == ""){
_root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "Please leave a message";
Selection.setFocus(_root.pages_mc.messageField);
} else if (myEmail == ""){
_root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "Please write your email address";
Selection.setFocus(_root.pages_mc.emailField);
} else {
_root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "";
myXML.firstChild.appendChild(myXML.createElement("entry"));
myXML.firstChild.lastChild.attributes.myName = myName;
myXML.firstChild.lastChild.attributes.myEmail = myEmail;
myXML.firstChild.lastChild.appendChild(myXML.createElement("myText"));
myXML.firstChild.lastChild.lastChild.appendChild(myXML.createTextNode(myMessage));
myXML.sendAndLoad("processXML.php", receiverXML);
}
}
I've tried it running the function above and it seems to process the else statement when the if statements say otherwise. So a better method would be really helpful.
Referencing A Value Within A Form Field
Hey all...
Within my org. we have a set of variables that we can use within our .asp forms that are stored on a DB but can be called within our forms. Basically when a user longs into their machine and opens up one of our html/asp forms their user information Name/department/title/phone/branch address are auto populated within the 'profile' section at the top of the form. Below is an example of the code used:
<td width="450"><input name="UserName" type="text" id="UserName" value="<%=g_emp_fullname%>" size="50" maxlength="100">
Instead of building forms via html/asp I would like to try and build a 'smart' form via flash and pass all of the variables collected to a processessing .asp page that generates the email.
What I can't figure out is how to, within flash, reference the...value="<%=g_emp_fullname%>" , within the Flash form fields so the values come up.
I would like Flash to auto-recognize the values just like my .asp page did.
Any ideas on code referencing within Flash is greatly appreciated as always!!

Form Field Focus?
Hi, I was wondering how to make a form field in flash that has text already in it when the form loads, and when the user clicks the field that text dissapears so they can enter their text.
I've also seen these forms that will put the initial text back if no text is entered and the user clicks a different text field.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Form Field Validation And ASP
Hello
I have a simple Flash contact form with name,email, message, etc fields and would like ASP - not Flash - to validate the fields. So if a site visitor completes the form and presses 'submit' while having omitted the @ sign, for example, from his email address, then ASP would tell Flash to display something like 'Please complete the email address field'.
I have some ASP (VB Script) which does this, but how do I pass it to Flash, and how would I get Flash to display it in a simple dynamic text box next to the form? And what happens if more than one field has been incorrectly completed?
Many thanks for any help.
