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

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.

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,

Tab Key To Next Form Field

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.

Drag And Drop Text Field Problem
I'm working on a simple counting game for my son, However I'm running into a problem with the text field inside of my bomb movieClip. I thought that turning off the text fields selectability might fix it, but that didn't work. I'm guessing that the fix to this problem may have to do with stopEventPropagation, but I'm not sure how to use it.

Code:

//123bomb: a counting game for pre-shoolers

//assets
//empty container for bombs
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(container);
//movie clip exported for use in actionscript
var bomb:Bomb;
//counts the # of bombs on the stage
var bombCount:int = 0;

//event listeners for drag and drop
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onStartDrag);
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onStopDrag);

//functions
function onStartDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
   e.target.startDrag();
   e.target.scaleX = 1.25;
   e.target.scaleY = 1.25;
   var thisBomb:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip
   container.setChildIndex(thisBomb, container.numChildren - 1);
}

function onStopDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
   e.target.stopDrag();
   e.target.scaleX = 1;
   e.target.scaleY = 1;
   
   
}


//place bombs on stage
for (var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++) {
   bomb = new Bomb();
   bombCount ++;
   bomb.x = Math.round(Math.random() * 371) + 48;
   bomb.y = Math.round(Math.random() * 308) + 119;
   container.addChild(bomb);
   bomb.bombNum.selectable = false;
   bomb.bombNum.text = ("" + bombCount);
}



as you can see, if you click on the text field it interferes with the drag and drop functions.
I'd be grateful for any feedback.

Thanks.

Drop Down In PHP Form

http://i2.tinypic.com/6arm0ox.jpg

Can someone tell me how to do this? I added the dropdown box and have set up the options from the component but I dont know how to send the info via the form ...

this form uses a PHP script on the server to work.. here it is: (THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP OR POINT A TUTORIAL TO ME!!!)

<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {

Flash Drop-down Menu And Txt Field Able To 'hold Values'?
Is it possible for Flash to hold values in a drop-down menu and text field after the user has clicked a button to go elsewhere in the flash file and then to come back to it?

Crap explanation?

Using Drag & Drop To Change Dynamic Text Field
Hi Everyone! I'm new to Flash and am a bit confused, but I will try to keep this as simple as possible. I am creating a quiz where the user will drag a word over a picture and if it is correct, a dynamic text field over the picture will display the word "YES".

Here is the script I have thus far:

code:
on(press) {
startDrag(this);
_root.answer="";
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/DTOffice") {
_root.answer="YES";
}

}



"DTOffice" is the name of my movie clip and is the correct destination for the dragged word.

QUESTIONS
1. I feel like my problem may be with button usage? Right now, everything is a movie clip (the draggable word and the destination box). Does there have to be a button involved somewhere?

2. My destination movie clip ("DTOffice"), should that be a variable name? an Instance name? I know my problem is in that line of code because if I put any text in the 2nd line (under startDrag where it sets the value of the dynamic field initially), it will display correctly. ALSO, if I put an else statement after the if (to say else root.answer="NO"), the code will go right to the else statement and will display "NO" the entire time.

I hope this makes sense and somebody can help me out, I appreciate any help or advice anyone can provide!

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");

I am using Flash 8 to make an email form.
I have 5 fields but only the first field clears when you click

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"

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.

Drop Down Menu In Form
HI there, I have created a form in Flash MX and am using ASP to decipher what is inputted the other end so to speak.

All but one of the fields in the form are single line text boxes, I can pull all these through fine. However I also have a drop down menu with 4 inputs to choose from, I have named the drop down box genre, but when i pull it through using the ASP it comes back blank.

My question is, is there another place to name the drop down list or do i have to do something special to get the data to pull through??

Flash Form: Drop Down?
Hey, I'm making this Flash Form which is somewhat like a Job App. The only thing is, I don't know how to make a drop down for one of the fields. So... I'm stuck. I want to try to make my own and not use a compenent if it's possible.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't find a tut on this anywhere. So if anyone spots one lemme know.

Thanx in advance!

AS2 - Drop Down Menu For A PHP Form
I am working on a flash for that emails it via PHP. I am trying to do a dropdown menu part that the user can select what they want. I need to know how to do this and have the PHP to send that variable.

Contact Form With Drop Down
I want to make a contact form with drop down menu to choose between multiples emails (so you can choose from that list the email address where you want to send your message)
I don't have any ideas on how to do that... I know how to do the drop down stuff with ActionScript... but I need this to be xml based or something like that... and usually in the contact forms the email address is in the php file....

I just need this contact form to be dynamic so you can easily add or remove emails without flash installed on your computer

any ideas?

XML-driven Drop-down Menu - Width Of Text Field Dynamic?
Hello and thanks to Senocular for the nice tutorial on the XML menu, many thanks!

Question regarding the tuturial:http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...down_menu7.htm

Was wondering please, if anyone knew if it were possible to change the width of the dynamic text field that each text nav item from the xml loads into so that the width changes depending on what is in the xml.

So the width of the button would change depending on the ammount of characters entered.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

How To Validate A Form's Text Field
I'm not very good with scripting, and am having a problem with a simple form that has 3 states: the form itself; an "invalid" error frame; and a "thanks" frame for successful submissions.

I need to setup 2 conditions for a field, in which the user types in their name. it's named "lotusnotesID".

if the field has any blank spaces, it should goto the "invalid" frame that displays an error message and asks them to retype their ID. if the field doesn't have any periods between their name (e.g. john.m.smith) they should goto the "invalid" frame and retype their ID.

my actions are set up in a button within the form. it reads as follows:

on (press) {
if (lotusnotesID == "Key.SPACE" ne "." ne "") {
gotoAndStop ("invalid");
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("http://creativeservices.accenture.com/client.stage/sfmoma/cdontsMail.asp", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop ("thanks");
}
}


as far as I can tell, it's setup correctly. the problem is that when I test it, the submit button will take me to the "invalid" frame if the text field contains a space, or is missing a period, or is blank, but once I'm in the "invalid" frame and retype the ID correctly, it won't submit properly and goto the "thanks" frame. also, if I type the name correctly initially, it works fine.

am I using the correct operators? any ideas?

thanks very much,
