Enter Key On Input Field Needs To Trigger Button Click
I have a stripped down FLA here: http://www.webmarksonline.com/temp/detectenter.fla
where if you click the button, a label saying "Button clicked" will display. This was accomplished using the following actionscript attached to the button...
on(release) {
display._visible =true;
}
Now I want to make it so that when the enter key is pressed in the edit field, the same thing happens.
On the button actionscript, I have used ...
on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
display._visible = true;
}
But does not work. Why not? Google search says that this should work. I'm on Flash 8, by the way.

Using Enter Key In An Input Text Box
Hey Folks -
I've got an Input Text box which I use for a search function of sorts. I've got it working fine with a "submit" button, but I'd like for the search action to also be initiated when the user enters their text and hits return inside the text box. I'm kinda stumped, but then I'm kinda new to Flash MX too so I'm sure there's an easy solution.
Thanks!

Multiline Input Text With Enter Key
I have a simulation where a user types a string of values into a multiline input text field, then clicks an OK button to check the text and move on (if the text is incorrect, an alert dialog box appears instead). The text field will look something like this:
text1
text2
text3
text4
I am trying to use the "
" escape character sequence to recognize the line breaks, but it's not working. Here's what I have:
on (release) {
if (input == "text1
text2
text3
text4"){
_root.gotoAndPlay(_root._currentframe+10);
} else {
setProperty(alert, _visible, true);
}
}
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Text Input & Enter/return
I was wondering how i could code this so when i hit the enter key in the text input field it does the same as clicking the send button.
I have googled this for hours and i cant seem to find something that works.
This is for a TelnetSocket using AS3
You can download the files i have Here (adobe live docs site) **look for the TelnetSocket file
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import com.example.programmingas3.socket.Telnet;
public class TelnetSocket extends Sprite
{
private var telnetClient:Telnet;
public function TelnetSocket() {
setupUI();
}
private function connect(e:MouseEvent):void {
telnetClient = new Telnet(serverName.text, int(portNumber.text), output);
}
private function sendCommand(e:MouseEvent):void {
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba.writeMultiByte(command.text + "
", "UTF-8");
telnetClient.writeBytesToSocket(ba);
command.text = "";
}
private function setupUI():void {
loginBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,connect)
sendBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sendCommand); //<-- Here is the "Send" button
}
}
}
I would appreciate any help thanks guys.

Can't Enter Input Text In A LoadMovie
I'm about to lose it here.
I have a main movie that loads an external contact.swf with some input fields.
This used to work fine.
Now, when I test the contact.swf, I can type in the fields, but when I load it through the main movie (through an empty movie clip), I'm unable to type at all. As test, I created a new movie and loaded the contact.swf into it, and I can type in there also.
I've made a lot of changes tonight, including adding a preloader, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what's causing this.
I would really appreciate any help. My brain is fried, and it's completely possible I've missed something simple.
I'll post the files. The contact movie is loaded by clicking the "contact" button in the main movie.
Thanks in advance.

How To Activate Enter/Return Key With Input Text?
To simplify, I have an input text box and a button. The user is asked to input some text and click a button that randomly serves up an animation. What I'm being asked to do is allow the user to hit their enter/return key as well so the animation will show whether they click the keys or the button. Would anyone be able to shed some light on how to do this?
thank you very much!

Enter Key As A Trigger In An Input Text Field
Is it possible to create an input text field field and during keyboard entry, if the user purposefully or accidentally presses the ENTER key, some kind of action could occur, such as advancing to the next frame or whatever?
I would like to avoid using a button, unless it is technically not possible. This is what I have right now:
ActionScript Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
trace("The enter key has been pressed");
}
Unfortunately, this does not quite provide me with the result I am looking for. The problem with this is, I have my focus set on the input text field, but the actionscript only reacts outside of the text input box.
Thanks

Intercepting Enter/Return In A Multiline Input Text Box
Hi,
I'm writing a chat client and I need the user to be able to enter text in a multiline text box because I want the text the user enters to wrap across several lines. However, when they press enter/return I want the message to be sent.
At the moment I have added a listener to the text box t_message:
t_message.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, f_on_key_down);
Then checked for a return in the handler:
private function f_on_key_down(event:KeyboardEvent) {
if (event.charCode == 13) {
f_send();
}
}
Finally, in the f_send() handler, I clear the contents of the input box:
public function f_send() {
v_stage.v_sfs.f_send_chat(t_message.text);
t_message.text = "";
}
However, the issue is that at the end of this, the return that triggered the f_on_key_down remains in the the text box. I've tried the restrict property but that doesn't seem to work with returns.
Does anyone know a way of stopping the return from appearing/remaining in the text box ?
Thanks in advance.

Send Input Text In E-mail?
I'd like to build a contact page where the user can write an e-mail directly on the webpage.
So far there's an input text field with the instance namne "message" and a component dropdown menu with e-mail adresses. Then another input text field called "sender" where the user is expected to enter her own e-mail adress.
How do we make the user's text send automatically in an e-mail to, say, flashbeginners@pleasehelp.com at the click of a button?
Oh, and how do we display the results of a couple of radio buttons in the final message?
Help greatly appreciated..

Input Text Box, Clear On Click
I'm trying to figure out how to have an input text box instance display my message ("search by last name") and then when a user clicks on it the text clears and the user gets a left aligned insertion point.
i was hoping to do something like this:
Code:
stop();
var LO:Object = new Object();
LO.change=function(eventObject:Object){
itext.text="";
};
itext.addEventListener("change", LO);
but apparently that only works on instances of the textinput component and I need a custom font in there (so i have to use an input text box...right?)
any help would be appreciated.

Enabling "Enter" To Read Input Text
Hello everyone, I'll be quite basic
I threw together a quick program, and what it does is the user enters text into an input text field and then clicks a button. On the button release the input is then simply outputted in a sentence.
I was curious as to how I would enable the user to simply press "Enter" on his/her keyboard to read the text in. So basically instead of pressing a button, the user would enter the input and press enter...
Is there a simple way of doing this, possibly?
Hope things were clear and thanks for reading, any help is greatly appreciated
P.S - I am using Flash MX Professional 2004, if that makes a difference

Input Text/query And Click To Search Google ?
> An input text field (variable="STRING") with a button next it > User types in something then clicks the button :> User is taken to the google search results for that what they typed in.
So i make the input text field a variable ("STRING") and then give the appropriate actions to the button - i tell it to somehow get the google search results page (*ttp://www.google.co.nz/search?q=something&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&lr=) and add in the right place the variable STRING (_root.STRING)
this is not the realistic way of searching google obviously but it will help me learn more about variables etc
any suggestions?

Adding Text To Input Field At The Click Of A Button
The www.bbc.co.uk/raw has a flash move at http://www.bbc.co.uk/raw/gamesandquizzes/storytelling/ choose "story writing" (left selection).
It has a simple way of adding text by clicking the button and adding it to the input field where the curser is left.
I have tried to repeat it with external .txt files but all i seem to be able to do is replace all the text when I click the button.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction or even give me an idea what this function is called so I can add it to my project.:confused:

Press Enter Key For Send Button
I do not know what else to do with this issue if someone could help...
I created a chat window which works great, but I cannot get the focus to
remain on the send button while someone is typing a message in the text
input field and I cannot get the enter key to be the default keyboard stroke
for the send button. The space bar will send the info to the other text
area, but the send button will not work when enter is pressed. I have tried
on keypress but the focusManager disables this so I decided to go with an
onclipevent keydown. Please let me know what I could do for the enter key
to work as the default and for focus to remain constantly on the send button
until they press enter. When they put the cursor into the text input field
the focus should go back to the send button and they still be able to type
their message.
Thanks,
Mary

Input Text Variable
Hello,
I am building an interactive flash quiz. I have an input text field that requires the user to enter a number. Let's say 10. For sake of this question, let's say the variable name is CheckNo
What I would like to do is have the user press tab or enter after they input a number in the input text field. That variable on the input text would be judged and the user would advance to the right or wrong response frame based on their entry.
My movie is set up on one timeline. I prefer not to use buttons on this as these are screen simulation and I would like to make them as fluid as possible.
Thanks

Input Text Variable Help
I'm building this thing, and it gives the user the choice to leave a message..."Click here", takes the user to a input text box, "message". So while the message is displayed, I have a button to reset it, but am not sure how to reset the text box so that the text disappears, and is clear for the next user. I'm building it in a movie clip, with a layer for static text, input box, buttons, and actions. I have labels for my layers, so the navigating to the box isn't a problem, its reseting or clearing the message that I'm not sure of. Anybody have any ideas?

Input Text Box And Variable
I have an input text box in which a variable is entered, but I only want to do something with this once there is something in the box - is there a way of testing the length of a variable?
Also, the text which is entered will be the front end of a file name, ending in ".txt" - how do i put the variable and the ending together to get text_box.txt rather that text_box+.txt which is what happens now?
P.S. I am using Flash 5.
If you have any ideas, then let me know please,
Cheers,
