Problem With The Text Boxes Within A Crossword
I´m programing a crossword: to make the different cells I´ve done a MC that has an editable text field in order to let the user write the letter he wants. I´ve used attachMovie to repeat this MC.
Now here comes the problem:
When the user clicks inside a cell and the pointer is ready to write, I want this pointer to focus to the adjacent cells when the directional arrows of the keyboard are pressed, in order not to have to click inside each cell to write. Have I expressed clearly?.
Thanks in advance

'Input Text' Help Needed For Crossword
I'm in the process of 'trying' to make a very basic type of crossword.
What I'm trying to do is have many individual Input Text fields, and if one row equals the correct answer then a short movieclip is played.
These are the answers:
And these are the Vars:
if box1 ="C" and box2="A" and box3="T" then...
and since C is already filled out in box1, the user only needs to type U in box4 and P in box5 to get the other answer.
I hope this makes sense. My actionscripting skills aren't the greatest, but if some kind soul, that actually understood what I'm getting at, could point me in the right direction, then that'd make me happy.
Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Text Boxes / Resizing Text Boxes
I have a site with a dynamic text box that I have initialized (I'm not sure that that is the correct term) at the beginning with:
myText = new LoadVars();
myText.onLoad = function()
{ textBox_txt.htmlText = this.content;
};
myText.load("text/bio.txt");
stop();
Then I have just used a text box throughout with the same instance name, although sometimes I have it on a new keyframe. I assumed I could just keep loading text into it on different frames with:
stop();
myText.load("text/performances.txt");
This appears to be working, except that sometimes it seems to be confused and the text box on a certain frame has the wrong text in it. Do I have to initialize one for each frame in order for them to display the right code? What could be causing it to load another text file if it's frame action is telling it to load something else? It seems unnecessary to have to re-initialize it for a new text box instance in every new frame, but is that the way it has to be done?
Also, I'm not clear on resizing text boxes. It seems like if I use the width and height numbers to resize this text box on different pages then it changes the size of the text inside, and the scroll bar (the UIScrollbar) is a little squishy looking sometimes. How does this work?
Thanks for any help.
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?

Crossword Puzzle
I've built a small crossword puzzle for a training program as a series of Flash files. I have the thing working great locally, but it will not work when posted to the web. I am calling the answer files (e.g. 1 down), which are separate .swf files, from the clue buttons (e.g. "1 down: Amplifies and passes network signals")using:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("1 down.swf", 1);
}
The user then types their answer and it appears on screen and persists throughout the remainder of the movie. (Each answer file--there are just eight of 'em--goes into its own layer.)
What do I need to do to get this working over the web?
Thanks in advance!

Combining Across And Down For Crossword
Hi
Need bit of help with combining across and down for crossword. The across is 3 text boxes, first of which is movieclip, actvated when clicked. As type, curser jumps to next box. Works great.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var a1 = this.let1_ins.text;
var a2 = _root.let2_ins.text;
aListener = new Object();
aListener.onKeyUp = function() {
//if box got letter in it (not empty)
if (a1 !== "") {
//jump to next box
Selection.setFocus("_root.let2_ins");
}
if (a2 !== "") {
Selection.setFocus("_root.let3_ins");
//else, stay in this box
} else {
Selection.setFocus("this.let1_ins");
}
};
Key.addListener(aListener);
}
The down one is similar, but with 4 boxes. Again, works great.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var d1 = this.d1let1_ins.text;
var d2 = _root.d1let2_ins.text;
var d3 = _root.d1let3_ins.text;
var d4 = _root.d1let4_ins.text;
dListener = new Object();
dListener.onKeyUp = function() {
if (d1 !== "") {
Selection.setFocus("_root.d1let2_ins");
}
if (d2 !== "") {
Selection.setFocus("_root.d1let3_ins");
}
if (d3 !== "") {
Selection.setFocus("_root.d1let4_ins");
} else {
selection.setFocus("this.d1let1_ins");
}
};
Key.addListener(dListener);
}
I'm having problems combining them, with the first down letter in the middle of across (forming a T-shape). When typing across, the letters jump across the down mc. When typing down, the 3rd letter across fills in. Can anyone help please?
Many thanks .

Crossword Construction
Hi,
I am trying to create a crossword in Flash with tab control. I am currently using a movie clip for each square that contains an input text box. However the trouble is I want the user's input for each text box to be checked indivdiaully on pressing the enter key or when the user tabs to the next square. The trouble with movie clips is that you have to use the onClipEvent function that means that say if it is triggered by a particular key being pressed, when that key is pressed, all the movie clips respond. I only want the one whose input text box is currently active.
I would like to use just input text boxes but I can never get "textBox.isEditable" or "textBox.enabled" to work so to lock the text box if the user enters the correct letter. Trouble with just input text boxes is that I dont know of a way to trigger my code that checks what the user has input on the press of a key. Thats why I have to end up using buttons or movie clips. Is there any way of having some form of on(release) function for a input text box?

Flash Crossword Generator
Hi there,
building a crossword-puzzle in Flash is no problem...but does anyone know if it was tried before to generate those crossword puzzles dynamically with Actionsript ?
What I have in mind:
- read clues and answers from a xml file
- generate the puzzle from the derived data
This way you could use a database with lots of clues and answers to randomly create a new crossword puzzle.
Any idea how something like that could be implemented with actionscript ?

Loading Text Files Into Multiline Input Text Boxes
Can someone tell me if it is possible to load text files (.asp, .txt, .css, .js) into a multiline input text box in FlashMX?

myTextStream = "somefile.xxx";
textArea.text = myTextStream;
Reading External Text File Into Movie Text Boxes
So I'm trying to read a simple text file into an array and then putting that text into the dynamic text boxes of 6 movie clips
the MC are instances of 'CategoryBox'. Each instance is name cat1, cat 2, so on.
In the parent movie file the dynamic text box instance is called 'catText' and variable 'catText'.
Code:
// load the text file for Titles Questions
this.loadVariables("title.txt");
//Lets get the game going
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
//Titles loads? FIRE!
if(titles!=null &&titleArray==null){
titleArray = titles.split(";"); //makes new_ARRAY into an array having values of strings separated by a semicolon
trace (titleArray);
//title generations
for (z = 0; z < titleArray.length; z++) {
this.cat[z].catText = titleArray[z];
}
}
}
now trace shows the titleArray is getting it's goods, but the text in the clips is "_level0.cat2.catText"
text files reads as such:
titles=blah;blah; so on
Overflowing Dynamically Imported Text Between Bynamic Text Boxes
Is it possible to overflow text which has been imported to flash from a text file between two dynamic text boxes. Say that your text file contains more text than will fit in the text box. Is there a way to make the rest show up in another? InDesign has this option, but I have not seen any such thing in Flash. Is there a way to do it with actionscript?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Crossword Puzzle 'congrats' Clip
I have created a crossword puzzle following the tutorial from FlashPlanet. What it doesn't say it how to get a 'congratulations' type clip to play when the grid is full of right answers.
Mine is at http://users.aber.ac.uk/kld/ and go to crosswordtest.swf (It's designed as part of an Internet tutorial which is sitting behind a firewall so sorry if the clues are a bit odd.)
Each clue is a movie clip with a button in the first frame which activates the 'text box and Enter button' clip at the relevant frame. E.g. across 1 will open the text box mc at frame 2 (frame one is an empty keyframe). (Not that is really does cos I am not that organised)
Each instance of the Enter button in the clip tells all the targets. (It tells the clue clip to go to the second frame where it's a graphic instead of a button. It gets rid of the ? clue buttons.) Most importantly, if text eq "right answer", it tells the answer clip to Go To and Play 2, and the answer appears.
I want the puzzle to know when all the answer clips are on their last frame, then run a 'congratulations!' clip, but this puzzle has taxed my ActionScript to its end! It's not absolutely necessary I do this, but I'd like to know if I can without huge amounts of re-arranging stuff.
This is Flash 4 BTW. Thanks for any help and sorry for so many words in this.
Using Flash For A Crossword-game Slide
Hi all,
I would like to create one for a competition. The crossword slide is just a simple one: basically it displays an answer in a row when someone answers correctly, and display a column answer when the game ends. That's about all.
Since I am not good & do not have enough time to invest in Flash, I'd like to find a template for this game so I can modify it easily. Have tried to search on this forum but I couldn't find one. WOuld anyone help me to find such thing?
Would greatly appreciate your help!
With many thanks,
Dynamic Crossword Puzzle Generator
This is the first of what's bound to be many questions regarding creating a dynamic crossword puzzle generator. The basic premise is the user creats an XML file, containing the various word(s), along with the associated hint for each word.
The generator's job is to take the words, create a grid, based on the length of the longest word, and then *a bunch of magical stuff happens* and it spits out a crossword puzzle.
Right now what I'm stuck on is creating the grid. I know the basic premise that I want to use, but it's not working for some reason. Basically I'm going to construct the grid using 30x30 squares. Each square has an ON and an OFF state. The OFF state is just black, while the ON state allows for text input and whatnot (for when the player is filling out the words).
To start, I want to make the grid entirely of OFF-state squares, and then, based on the words in the XML file, turn certain squares to the ON state.
My problem is in creating the initial grid. Here's my code:
ActionScript Code:
targetX = 0;
targetY = 0;
var i = 1;
while( i <= gridSize ) {
for (var j = 1; j<=gridSize; j++) {
this.attachMovie("cw_gridBox", "cell_"+i+"_"+j, j);
targetMC = this["cell_"+i+"_"+j];
targetMC.gotoAndPlay("off");
targetMC.textBox.text = i+":"+j; // just used to help me see which square is which
targetMC._x = targetX;
targetMC._y = targetY;
trace(targetMC._x); // this returns correctly
trace(targetMC._y); // this returns correctly
if (j == gridSize) { // go to the next row in the grid, 32 units down
targetX = 0;
targetY += 32;
i++;
} else {
targetX += 32;
}
}
}
stop();
The problem is that for some reason, only the LAST row of squares shows up on the stage when this is run. The variable gridSize is passed to this MC via the initObject parameter when this clip is placed on the stage. That much seems to work fine.
The traces in the script seem to indicate that the "cells" are being created and placed properly, and the position of the LAST row of cells, suggests that the "x" and "y" values are being incremented properly. But for some reason, NONE of the cells before the last row show up at all.
I assume it has to do with my for loop running too quickly for it to do all of the work, but that doesn't seem to explain why the last row would show up and all the others wouldn't.
If someone could take a look and point out what I'm doing wrong, I'd be very greatful. I've spent all day on JUST this part, and would have loved to get a little further along with this right now. A dynamic crossword puzzle generator seems to be a huge undertaking; especially for someone like myself, without that much knowledge of AS...
Thanks

Problems With Reading Text Files Into Text Boxes
I have a scrolling text box which is an MC. I place an instance in the root, name it and then use
loadVariables("text.txt","_root.textboxInstance"); which is placed in a frame ie. an actions layer.
I have differently named instances of the textBoxMC in consecutive frames because different text files are readin as you click from one frame to the next.
The first text file reads in okay but then it stops working, I have checked very carefully that all the names are consistent and correct and that the text files are in the same directory as the swf's.
Is there something inherent in the method I'm using that gives inconsistency, and has anybody else had problems reading in text files to dynamic text boxes?
Is it better to have the loadVariables() method assigned to the button that moves the play head to the next frame?
some ideas/help much appreciated
Dynamic Text Boxes, HTML, Text Files, Oh My

Working With Dynamic Text Boxes And Text Files
I have a menu of buttons that load text files into a dynamic text box
I need a script that takes my scroll bar to the top of the page each time a new button is pushed. I am loading text files using the following script bellow.
the only way i can think at this stage of doing this is to have a seporate dynamic text box for each button. Surely there is a better way??
If this doesn't make sense let us know and i will try and reword it.

Poor Text Quality In Dynamic Text Boxes
I find that the quality of text in dynamic text boxes is really bad, especially with some fonts, perhaps I need to use a proper type of font for web based use, or if there are some settings that I am missing? but anyways I've put together an example of my situation, and hopefully someone has a solution for me. Im sorry if this problem has been posted before, I did a search for it, but found nothing, but if there is another thread just direct me towards. Thanks.
Multiple Scrolling Text Boxes From Text Files
Hello!
I have been trying to solve this problem long enough and need some help.
I am creating this in Flash 8.
I want to have a text area that has scrolling text. The text is brought in from a text file (one ending in .txt). Yes, there are a zillion tutorials that detail the steps. In fact, I have it working. The example that worked for me was one in which the scroll component was used and some action scripting. Works perfectly.
But not one that gives me a clue what to do if I want multiple text boxes using various external text files.
I have the timeline with the cells set-up so each cell is a new page (there is a script stop; to accomplish this along with keyframes).The idea is to navigate to a keyframe and it appears as if it is a new page. A box with a graphic in it changes, and a box for dynamic scrolling text exists. I got the first “page” with perfect scrolling text from an external text file.
Here’s the action script:
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.onLoad = function(){
textbox.text=this.Grun01;
};
myVars.load("scroll01.txt");
Now, if I do this same thing for the next page, all the pages stop working. The text files are different as are their first lines before the = signs. They are as such (in part):
File called scroll01.tx has a first line Grun01=
No html was used.
The text box’s properties were set to Dynamic, multipleline and an instance of textbox. The UIscrollBar instance was with parameters set to textbox.
I did the second text box (in the next cell) to load scroll02.txt, a first line of Grun02= and changed the action script to:
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.onLoad = function(){
textbox.text=this.Grun02;
};
myVars.load("scroll02.txt");
I also varied the text box’s properties to an instance of textbox02. The UIscrollBar instance was with parameters set to textbox02.
What do I need to do to be able to have each page with scrolling text loaded from an external file?
Thanks in advance,
Bill H.
Dynamic Text Inside Text Input Boxes?
I have a website project I'm working on where content is entered into input boxes in Flash and then I use PHP and MySQL to store the text and display it on the main part of the Flash site. Site users will use the same input boxes for edit the text, so I would like, if there is currently text in db, for it to show up inside the input box as well when they go to change it. I am not much of an Actionscript coder, so I am using mostly scripts that I found on the internet. I have a script for pulling info from the db and displaying it inside a dynamic text box in Flash, and another script for taking the text from the input box and sending it to the database. Both of these snippets of code work fine when I use them in other places on the site. When I use them together, however, the text from the db displays inside the input box just fine, but when I change it and hit Submit to change the text, instead of entering the text I wrote it enters the word 'undefined' and this is what shows up in the text box from that point forth. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to make the 'output' code work with the 'input' code? Here is the code as I'm using it:
Code:
//this section pulls the text from the db, it seems to work just fine
myData = new LoadVars()
myData.ref = this
myData.load("wp_getdata.php")
myData.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
in_col1_title.text = this.col1_title
}
}
//this section sends the text from the input box to the database. It works fine when used by itself, but submits the word 'undefined' when used with the above code
var php_process:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_button.onRelease = function() {
_root.col1_title_popup._visible = false;
var post_variable:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
post_variable.string1t = in_col1_title.text;
post_variable.sendAndLoad("wp_connect_col1_title.php",php_process,"POST");
getURL("javascript:window.location.reload(true);");
};
Dynamically Load Text In Multiple Text Boxes

Loading Text Files Into Dynamic Text Boxes
hi,
I have created a dynamic text box in flash, and a text file.
I have read the tutorial at http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...t_scrollmx.htm about loading text into text boxes.
I have decided to have my text file look like this;
Item=This is item 1
Item=This is item 2
Item=This is item 3
Item=This is item 4
Item=This is item 5
Item=This is item 5
What i want it to do is that when it loads the text file into the text box, it should only load the first 3 items (item 1 to item 3).
how do i go about doing that?
thanks

Flash Versus Java For Crossword Puzzles
A client wants interactive crossword puzzles on his site. There are several competing software packages available to make these puzzles. Most of the packages output the crosswords as Java applets. One package, bucking the trend, output its crosswords as a Flash file (requiring the Flash 7 player).
In terms of browser loading speed, which is better: the Java or the Flash puzzle?
And more important, is it better to use the Flash-based software because more browsers have a built-in Flash plug-in than they do Java capability?
Are there any stats on the percentage of browsers that support Flash versus the percentage that support Java?
Thanks!
Dynamic Text Boxes, Text Wrapping
I am duplicating movie clips that have dynamic text boxes. Each movie clip goes under one another.
The problem is that some text boxes span multiple lines. So, I am unsure at what Y position to put the next movie clip.
Is there any algorithum to test how many lines a certain text box is going to span, based upon the string it contains? I was using String.length, but it doesn't seem to work properly. Sometimes, a long string can fit in one line, and other times it can't. This is b/c it depends upon where the spacing is in the string, and how many capital letters are used.

Dynamic Text Boxes And Scrolling Text....
Ive been trying to get my brians around sorting this out and im getting there really slowly but im still stuck with two problems. Im using this code to link with text to another web site from a dynamic text box. Heres the code:
<a href="http://www.henrymiller.org/"><font color="#999999">(www.henrymiller.org)</font></a>
Now what i cant seem to work out is how can i have it so that just that text in a paragraph is underlined. Now the second problem is i want it to open the link in a new window so it doesnt lead u away from the main site is this possible also and if so how would i go about doing that ?? I need to work this out as the site im doing is late due to lack off contact with my client and i just wanna get it sorted and out off my way. Any help would be mostly appreciated.
Thanks

Randomizing Text In Dynamic Text Boxes
I want to make a dynamic text box. I'd use an external text document to contain everything and I want the textbox to randomly load something when the flash movie is brought up.
I don't want it to change every X amount of seconds, but load a random value and keep it until the browser refreshes or the person leaves and comes back later.
How would I go about scripting this?
Text In Dynamic Text Boxes Invisible
i've created an external flash movie that contains some dynamic text boxes with scrollable text.
when i test the movie all text content is visible.
when i then call that movie to load into the main movie, the text in dynamic text boxes doesn't display.
this movie also has a preloader with number of total bytes loaded etc., which are supposed to show in the dynamic text boxes as well, but they dont show eather.
another thing is that when this external movie is loaded i loose the navigation bar from the main movie.
have done load movie action before and it worked. dunno what is the problem......
any ideas?? please help.
