Flash :: Displaying User Input Into A Dynamic Text Field

Displaying ™ TradeMark Symbol In Input Text Field, Can It Be Done?
Can anyone please tell me if there is any chance of using superscript and / or subscript in input text fields?
Or if there is any way that i can fake it?

The users really need to use the trademark symbol ™, which displays fine in static text, but not in dynamic or input text fields. The symbol also displays when using _sans font, but I need to use various fonts.

I am making an application in Flash 5 where users can dynamically load text from a database and then edit the text. I´m using Macromedia Generator to load the dynamic content.

Suggestions anyone?

Parsing User Input From Text Field
I have an input text field into which a user types their answer to a question. The answer is "x, y, z" but can be upper or lower case, may or may not have spaces in it and the letters can appear in any order, i.e. "y, z, x".

Is there a way I can take the input, remove the white space, lowercase it all, tokenize the input and then test to see if any of it is correct?

I've done this in other languages but never in actionscript... I can't find a decent tutorial.

Any help / pointers appreciated thanks

Detect When User Leaves Text Input Field, How?
Hi,

I will start building some forms in flashMX soon.
I want flash to do the client-side-validation: check to see if requiered fields are indeed filled.

I can do the validation when the user submits the form. No problem.

However I want some fields to evaluated immediately when the user leaves the field.

So assume there is a input text field with var = FirstName which is requiered!

When the user selects this field and leaves it again without filling it in, I want an action (warning) to be done.

How can I detect when the user leaves the field?

How To Make An Input Text Field Trigger An Action When User Clicks On It To Write?
aHello everyone!

I'm trying to achieve something that I'm sure it's not that complicated, but unfortunately I have not clue how to do it.

I have created some text fields. And what I want to do, it's that when the user clicks onthem, in order to start writing, I want a specific movieclip to dissapear.

This could be achievable if I knew how to make the textfield behave like a button; but I don't know what code I need for this, as onPress it's not working at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Dynamic Text Field Not Displaying
Hi,
This is probably a newbie question but I'm tearing my hair out over something which I'm sure has a simple solution.

I have a button event:

mc_EasyButt.onPress = function () {
varLevel="1";
_root.loadVariables("hangmanwords.asp?l=e");
goToAndPlay(4);
}

The loadVariables url loads three variables - varASWordEncoded, varMEWord1 and varMEWord2.

At Frame 4 the following code should display my variable varASWord in a dynamic Text field which has the variable name set correctly:

if (varLevel == "1") {
trace("picked up the level");

for (x=0;x<varASWordEncoded.length;x++) {
if (varASWordEncoded.charAt(x) == "1") {
// 1 signifies the letter ash
varASWord+="u00E6";
} else if (varASWordEncoded.charAt(x) == "2") {
// 2 signifies the letter eth
varASWord+="u00F0";
} else if (varASWordEncoded.charAt(x) == "3") {
// 3 signifies the letter thorn
varASWord+="u00FE";
} else {
// not a special character
varASWord+=varASWordEncoded.charAt(x);
}
}
}

The text field is showing blank in the movie and the loadVariables works because it's displaying the other variables.
These 2 chunks of code are on separate layers, will this cause the problem?

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Dynamic Text Field Not Displaying In Nested MC...
Now I have a dynamic text field that loads and displays fine when I play the movie it is in from _root. But... I have that movie nested in another which is nested in another. When I play them nested together the dynamic text field will not display. There is an apparent area where the mouse changes to a cursor like a text field should be there, but nothing...

Anyone know how to fix this?

Here is the code where I create the text field...

ActionScript Code:
var news_var:String = "";
var xmlNews:XML = new XML();
xmlNews.ignoreWhite;
xmlNews.load("../news.xml");

xmlNews.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void {
if (bSuccess){
var xnRootNode:XMLNode = this.firstChild;
var aNewsItems:Array = xnRootNode.childNodes;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < 3; i++){
var aNewsItem:Array = aNewsItems[i].childNodes;
for(var j:Number = 0; j < aNewsItem.length; j++){
news_var += aNewsItem[j].firstChild.nodeValue + "
";
}
news_var += "
";
}
}
else{
news_var = "Document failed to load or parse. Error code: " + xmlNews.status;
}

_root.createTextField("newsText",5,251.9,7.8,348,197);
newsText.multiline = true;
newsText.wordWrap = true;
newsText.border = false;
newsText.html = true;
newsText.selectable = true;
newsText.embedFonts = true;

newsFormat = new TextFormat();
newsFormat.color = 0xffffff;
newsFormat.bullet = false;
newsFormat.underline = false;
newsFormat.size = 12;
newsFormat.font = "fontNews";

newsText.text = news_var;
newsText.setTextFormat(newsFormat);
};

Help With Displaying User Input
I know this is probably an easy thing to do but I am really struggling with AS3 and would be infinitely grateful if someone could clear the fog from my brain. I've been working on this since yesterday...

The goal is to have the user enter their name in the input text box and then click start. When they click start a ball starts rolling and a welcome message should display "Welcome + name".

At first the ball is rolling fine and the name is displayed - but after about 3 seconds the frames sort of flip and "Welcome name" turns into just "Welcome" (name dissapears)

I'm sure it's something really dumb but my eyes are crossing.

- layer 1 is my circle image (myCircle)
- layer 2 is my button (startButton)
- layer 3 is the input field (inputName) and the dynamic field (displayName)

Here's the code:

stop();

var inputName:TextField = new TextField();
inputName.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
inputName.x=200;
inputName.y=100;
inputName.width=150;
inputName.height=20;
inputName.border = true;
addChild(inputName);

// add an event listener to our button:
startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startButtonHandler);

// deal with the event when the button is clicked:
function startButtonHandler (evt:MouseEvent) {
myCircle.x = 50;
myCircle.y = 300;
gotoAndPlay(2);
moveCircle(); // add event listener to circle
}

// when the button is clicked, add an event listener to the circle
function moveCircle () {
myCircle.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, goCircle);
}

// once event listener is added, move the circle ever frame

function goCircle (evt:Event) {
myCircle.x = myCircle.x+1;
displayName.text = "Welcome " + inputName.text;
}

Thanks sooooo much for you help

Problems With Displaying Certain Characters In Dynamic Text Field
Hi There,

I am having problems displaying '%' and '&' in my text fields. I am using:

var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

myLV.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
main_mc.body_txt.htmlText = myLV.bodyCopy;
} else {
main_mc.body_txt.text = "There has been an error loading the requested information. Please contact the webmaster and report the fault";
}
}
var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet ();
cssStyles.load("styles/styles.css");
cssStyles.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
main_mc.body_txt.styleSheet = cssStyles;
myLV.load("copy/product01b.txt");
} else {
main_mc.body_txt.text = "There has been an error loading the requested information. Please contact the webmaster and report the fault";
}
}

to load the text file and the style sheet.

I have two external files, a text file and a .css file

this is the css style:

p {
font-family: "Arial Narrow";
font-size: 18px;
}

And this is the text file:

&bodyCopy=<textformat leading="2">Save up to 30% on internet prices.</textformat>

I have also embedded the symbol into my text field and have also embedded the font itself into my flash file. Has anyone any idea how I can display these symbols.

Cheers

[MX04] Dynamic Text Field Not Displaying Text (NOT EMBEDDED)
Hello,

I am working on a Flash portfolio website for myself. I have several dynamic text boxes that display information about the various pieces in my portfolio. The text content of these boxes is loaded from external .txt files. The text fields are set to use "_sans" font and there is NO font embedding.

Recently, while working, I tested the site and noticed that my text boxes were no long displaying data. Through testing the problem I was able to determine that the data is being loaded from the external .txt files and into the correct variables, however, the text is not "appearing" in the text fields at run time.

I tried placing a new dynamic text box on the _root of the movie and writing the following code on the first frame of the ROOT timeline:

Code:
_root.myTest_text.text = "this is a test"
the dynamic text field (with instance name "myTest_text") again appeared blank at runtime. As before, the font was set to _sans and NO embedding was taking place.

I tried the same text box and the same code in the clean, empty file and it worked fine.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Is it a bug? Will I need to rebuild the file from scratch?

If anyone has any assistance or advice to offer I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

Displaying Empty Digit Fields In Dynamic Text Field
Hi guys,

Here's a teaser for ya.

I have a dynamically counting down text box which cycles from 999999 to 0. However, I would like all six character spaces to be filled, regardless of the number (e.g. 0XXXXX, 000XXX, 00000X etc).

I've tried using 0.999999 and then masking over the digits AFTER the '.', but Flash MX doesn't seem to like masking dynamic text boxes (nothing at all displayed).

Any ideas, lateral thinkers?

Input/Dynamic Text Field
How do you have a user enter their name (or anything else for that matter) into an INPUT TEXT FIELD and then have the name that they entered display in a DYNAMIC INPUT FIELD on any pages after that?

I realize that one has to create a variable the references the input field but after that my mind draws a blank and like Homer Simpson, the circus monkeys in my brain start dancing.

[F8] Input And Dynamic Text Field Value
Hi guys.
This is my (probably very simple ) problem:

In scene 1, keyframe 1 I got an input text field (instance name = in1) and a button. The button got this code:

Code:
on(release){
gotoAndStop(2);
}

On keyframe 2 I only got a dynamic textfield (instance name= out1).

I want to write someting into the input text field on frame 1, press the button and when I'm on keyframe 2; I want the dynamical text field to display what I wrote.

On keyframe 2 I have written this code:

Code:
_root.out1.text=_root.in1.text;

(Im betting this is wrong!)
When I try this out I don't get my input data. I only get "undefined" in the dynamic text field.

Now this works perfectly fine if I use the same variable name, entered in the "variable box" in properties. But I would rather access the variables as a property of the textfield.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for a fantastic forum,
Ontrop.

Dynamic Input Text Field ?
Hi all,

This is possible to dynamically create input textfields and then style them with new textFormat something like

ActionScript Code:
this.createTextField("txtBox_txt", 1, 50, 50, 200, 20);
textBox = new TextFormat();
textBox.background = true;
textBox.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
textBox.bold = true;
txtBox_txt.setNewTextFormat(textBox);
or is it possible to use the new TextFormat object on a input text field that is manually been placed on the stage. So I create a input text field called input_txt and then style it.

ActionScript Code:
textBox = new TextFormat();
textBox.background = true;
textBox.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
textBox.bold = true;
input_txt.setNewTextFormat(textBox);

Dynamic Input Text Field
Hi:

For some reason I can't figure this out. I am creating an input text field. I want the text that the user inputs to be assigned to a variable. For some reason the user can only input text if I put a text property in. So i set the variable to have a starting value. However when the user input does not change the variable, so it still comes up as the original value.

this.createTextField("pic3Tag", p++, 5, 170, 250, 100);
pic3Tag.type = "input";
pic3Tag.border = true;
pic3Tag.background = true;
pic3Tag.multiline = true;
pic3Tag.text = myTag;
pic3Tag.embedFonts = true;
pic3Tag.variable = myTag;
pic3Tag.setTextFormat(textFormat);

i'm so confused.

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

Dynamic Bar Graph From Input Text Field
Hello!

I am trying to make a bar graph that tweens to the height, or decrease, according to the number defined in the Dynamic text box. I would like to use the tween class from MX for a nice bounce effect. Here is my code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

ICcost._height = Number(ICC1);

new Tween(ICcost, "_yscale", Elastic.easeOut, 0, ICC1, 2, true);

ICC1 is the dynamic text field that displays a number from a formula through a couple input boxes. ICcost is the name of the MC I want tweened.

As I have it now it doesnt tween, the height just goes to the ICC1 number which is ok for now. Is there a way to set the tween to happen when flash registers a change in the number? I am fairly comfortable with AS2 and I know there is a way I just don't know exactly what I am looking for. Any help or suggestions would be great!

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!

HELP Can INPUT BOX Number Value Change A Dynamic Text Field?
Yeah, I am trying to get my input field to change the value of a dynamic text box, which is accessing a variable from a .txt file.

The input field is called "Quantity1", "Quantity2", etc...

The Dynamic text fields load variables called "Price1", "Price2", etc...

Both go up to 10.

If I input a value, let's say 10, into "quantity4", then "price4" should change accordingly.

HOW CAN I DO THIS?

Input And Dynamic Text Field Problem (Flash 8)
Hi,

I have 2 text fields in my flash movie (Flash 8, AS 1 or 2). The first is an input text field (level0.body.additional) that on the enter key will add it's value to a dynamic text field (level0.body.totalrequested - please see code below).

A global variable is used to store the total and add it to what the user enters into level0.body.additional. I've tried the following code but all it does is concatenate as if both values were strings (inserting carrage returns inbetween) - not numbers (so say global.total was 50 and the user enters 20 in the input text box, the dynamic text box has 50 then 20 on the next line - I've changed the dynamic text field property to be single line but it doesn't make a difference).

I've tried wrapping "this.text" in the Number() function call but I get "Not a Number" returned.

Any ideas please?

Thanks for any help,

Richard

----------------------

var newTextField:Object = new Object();
newTextField = _level0.body.additional;

newTextField.onKeyDown = function() {
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_global.total = _global.total + this.text;
_level0.body.totalrequested.text = _global.total;
};
};

newTextField.onSetFocus = function() {

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(" ");
}
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;

They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline and it's real subscript..

Create a dynamic text field with Arial font embeded. Set the HTML property to true.
Create a dynamic text field with Subscript font embeded.
Create a dynamic text field with Superscript font embeded.
Use HTML tag to set text to subscript or superscript like below:
Some textÂ©
If you are using ActionScript to test the htmlText, use script like below:
my_txt.htmlText = "Some textTM";

They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline and it's real subscript..

Input Numbers From Cellphone Into Dynamic Text Field By Clicking On Buttons
hey there,

I am constructing a form mailer that has a cellphone skin. To add some functionality I want to let the user click on the numbers of the phone and have the numbers appear into a seperate dynamic text field. (not to be sent via the form) How do I code it where they can click on the numeric button and the number will be added to the field while letting the numbers that were already clicked will remain in the field and not be erased.

thanks

Detecting What The User Has Typed In An Input Field
I want to play an animation when a user types in a certain letter in my input field. I made a frame action that says if text equals "A" then play the movie clip. But it doesn't work. I tested the movie and listed the variables and it says that the text field does equal
"A" so why doesn't the movie clip play?

I added a button just to see if it would work, and when I typed in "A" and pressed the button, the movie clip did play, but I don't want to use a button. I want the clip to automatically play depending on what is typed in the field.

Does anyone know how I can fix my prob?

Thanks!!

[F8] Isolating Certain Characters In A User Input Field
I need to create a serial number decoder and was wondering if someone can give me a hand. I am not sure what script I should use as I am still new to Action Scripting.

For example if the user types in XT3406, I know that the first two digits represent the manufacturing plant. The second two digest represent he week so in this case it’s the 34th week. The last two digits represent the year in this case its 2006.

So there are two functions here that I have not dome previously which is isolating certain parts of a string and then using those part and referencing a list. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction? I am not sure what scripting I should use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dynamic Text From An Input Text Field?
I have an input text field where the visitor types their first name,
I've named it: firstName, and called it a variable: _global.firstName

I have it set to get the info from inside the text field like so:

on(release) {
getURL("_global.firstName")
}

...and also to post it when it jumps to the next actionscript marker:

ThankU.text = "Thank you, " + _global.firstName + "!"

(I want it to say "Thank you, <firstName>!")

Nothing shows up when I preview. It's just a blank space.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working out for me?
Thanks!
