Flash :: If Input Text Field Is Changed...

Dynamic Text Field Changed By Buttons
Hi,

I’m a beginner in Flash so if my thread is not in a correct place, sorry
My question:

I’ve got a lot of button and one! dynamic text filed in my movie. If I press a button, it loads a text from a file: test.txt, or other button test1.txt etc. (the file encoding is UTF-8, because it is hungarian; á é ő etc. And html)

Here is the as. on my button!!(is it correct to put it on the button?? Or elsewhere??) Of course every button has it own test*.txt
Button1:

On (press)
{
data = '''';
//reading the txt
_root.loadVariables(''test.txt'');
// visualize the content of the text file
_root.onData = function() {
dfield.htmlText = data;
//dfield is the dynamic text field instance name
};
}

Is this code correct?
This works under IE, but showing nothing int he DTF under Firefox. Whats the problem? I use Firefox…

User Changed Fonts In Input Text
For some project for school, I need the abbility for users to change the font, fontsize (and perhaps even fontcolor) in an input textfield.
The text the users type in the textfield, will come on an e-card, so the changes they make in the input textfield, also should apply to the dynamic textfield on the e-card.

Since I'm just starting at AS, I do not know exactly where to begin or how to pull it off. Anybody who knows how to do it?

Format Of A Dynamic Text Field Lost When The Value Is Changed
I have a text filed created using createTextField() and ist properties set
this way:
.type = "dynamic";
.html = true;
.text = some_variable;
var TextFormat = new TextFormat();
set some formats
.setTextFormat(TextFormat)

It works fine - it shows the initial value of some_variable (which is a
number) formated as I wanted it.
However as soon as some_variable is incremented (++) by some other function
(which has no operatoprs affecting formastting), the format of this field is
lost.

Where shall I look for an error to?

What Are The Best Ways To Capture Input From An Input Text Field?
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.

How can I set this up so a user can input the info in these two fields and click the submit button to some how send me the data - Via Email? txt on the server? Anything...

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

Thanks,
Stephen

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

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!!!!!!!

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('');

Help With Input Text Field
I am using an input box (and a button with the script)to drive the frame selection in my movie. i.e. User types "home," it returns them to the home page. The problem I'm having is that I'm using the same Input Text field in every frame and the previous contents are still in the field when it jumps to the appropriate frame. How can I get the field to clear automatically when it jumps frames?

Input Text Field
hey guys, i got a problem.

I have an input text field ("search") and I'm trying it make the text null when you do a Set Focus.

----
search.onSetFocus = function() {
search.text = ""
}
----

this works, but "_level0.search" appears in the input text box. so when i try and assign it text within the input box (search.text = "class search")

----
search.text = "class search"
search.onSetFocus = function() {
search.text = ""
}
----

my "onsetFocus" doesn't work, i have to manually delete the text "class search". but I want to have the text "class search" to appear in the text field, and then it disappears after you click in the text field. does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?

thanks for the help.

Input Text Field Help
I have created a feedback/information request form within my site using Flash MX. I created the input text fields and assigned them all a instance name. For some reason, when I assigned the instance names and tested/published the scene all the input fields are being filled with field properties. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this one out.

Please help!!!

You can see what I mean HERE .

Thank you in advance.

[F8] Text Input Field Help
Okay, I'm trying to make a simple little thing where you input a few numbers, click a button, and it spits out something calculated from those values.

Only problem is, it's not recognizing the input from the text fields as a number. Debug tells me that the variable is something like this "Variable _level0.rawscore = "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="16" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">1000</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>""
So then, of course, I get NaN as the solution.

How can I get flash to recognize the input as a number and not a string?

Input Text Field
This is easy, but I must be missing something. I have 2 frames. One that has an input text field for the answer having the var as answer. I have another input text field that the user inputs their answer into called password_txt. I want the password_txt to be the same as the answer text field. Below is my code. It's on the answer or submit button. What's up with it?

on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
checkl = answer.text;

if (password_txt.text == checkl) {
gotoAndStop(3);

} else {
show_txt.text = "Sorry, that is incorrect. ";

}

}

Input Text Field
Is it possible to have an input text field with a string inside it (ex. name) and when a user click in that text filed the string will be gone.

I tried this , but Flash does not recognize an empty field

Code:
if (name == " ")
{
name = "Enter your name here" ;
}
Is there a betterway of doing this, if it is possible in the first place ?

Help With Input Text Field
I have different scenes and in one I have an input text field called input_txt, and it another scene I want to check to see what text if any, the user put in the field. The way I have it now, it is not working, I have: var input:String = _root.input_txt.txt and then trace that out and it is coming out undefined. What is wrong with the syntax, or is it something to do with the way I'm doing it?

Input Text Field
I have a question about creating a text input field that will print out the contents to the flash movie. I wanted to create an e-card. There would be an input text field so people could write a message. After writing a message they would click a view button and see their message within the context of the e-card (maybe in some fancy font). Is this possible in Flash CS3 or does it need to be done in Flex? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Input Text Field
Hi , im getting a flash form together for an estate agent and i've hit yet another problem. Kglad was kind enough to help me out last time with some A.S. for randomly selected checkboxes to appear in order. Now I've slightly modified the script to work with the form and it does but i've tried to add an input text field into to mix and the results are weird - i've managed to get the field to react to a checkbox so the 'random script' works but the dynamic txt field isnt displaying the txt that is entered into to the input field - it's displaying the original text before any is input eg: 'please input manual text here'
Confused yet! Me too
The modified code that Kglad supplied is at the bottom of this message:
The text field var is 'manualtext1' and its set to the 27th checkbox.
If any ones interested it can be viewed here: flash form

Thanx in advance for any input.
Cheers

Attach Code

tl=this;
var lo:Object = new Object();
lo.click = function(eventObject:Object) {
tl["tf"+tfIndex].text = textA[eventObject.target.ivar];
tfIndex++;
};
tfIndex = 0;
textA = ["Hall", "Lounge", "Bathroom", "Grnd Floor Cloaks", "Reception Room", "Dining Area", "Dining Room", "Fitted Kitchen", "White Goods", "En-Suite Bathroom", "Shower", "En-Suite", "Utility Room", "Double Glazing", "G.C.H.", "Conservatory", "Garage", "Double Garage", "Gardens", "Front Garden", "Rear Garden", "F,S & Rear Gardens", "Out-buildings", "Alarmed", "Priced to sell", "Viewing recommended", manualtext1];
for (var i = 0; i<27; i++) {
tl["cb"+i].ivar = i;
tl["cb"+i].addEventListener("click", lo);
}

Hey Hey, now then, input text fields, I want the script to recognize the text a person has put in, it's kind of a quiz in a little game I've made, there's a question asking what's the 3 squared? and I need the script to recognize that 9 is correct if it is entered, otherwise it is incorrect, I also have another 2 questions, when the three are answered correctly I want a movie Clip to become visible, its already been made invisible using _visible = false.

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
