Flash :: Long Text Doesn't Fit Inside Single-line Input Text Field

Input Text Field Doesn't Work In V8
Hello,

I'm using Flash 8, and I have a password text field that works fine when I publish the file for Flash Player 7, but when I change publish settings to Flash Player 8 and test the movie, the text field no longer accepts input text. When I rollover the field in the SWF, the cursor changes to the I beam, but when I click on it, there's no insertion indicator, and when I type, nothing shows. Does anyone have any idea why this could be? I didn't change any settings in the text field properties or any code in between changing the publish settings from 7 to 8

Thanks in advance!

[F8] Input Text Field Doesn't Allow Space Char
Here's the problem: I am loading (loadMovie) an external .swf (which contains a few input textfields, and nothing more) into my main movie. After that, I start typing into any of the input textfields. Well, everything works great, the letters appear (as they normally should) when I am pressing the keys. As I said, everything works great until I am pressing the Space Bar. The space character simply refuses to appear. The Enter (end of line) character does work as it should do, when I am using it into the multiline input field (see the images below)

The big dilema is I'm still able to input spaces (and they appear) when I am running the external .swf alone.

What on Earth happens? Any advice, anyone?
Did you encounter such odd behavior?

Thank you

Is this possible?

Long Text In Dynamic Text Field
Last edited by Anik : 2008-02-16 at 07:48.

I have a long text that needs to be loaded to a text field. (Around 12000 words)
Requirement is, the text field should be a single line, autosize to true, font size 12, color black, fonts to be embeded as font will change dynamically. Text will scroll on screen. Its basically a ticker tape.
The problem is,
The text disappears when published, if you make the text field selectable, I am able to select the text, copy it and when pasted in notepad I am able to see the text but not inside flash! After half the scroll, it suddenly appears and again disappears.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multiline Dynamic Text Box Instead Of Single Line
Hello,
I hope you can help me with the following action script i found at this url:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...r_captions.htm

Here is the action script they provide for the Hover Caption effect:

Code:
b1.onRollOver = function() {

captionFN(true, "E-Mail!", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {

captionFN(false);

};

};
b2.onRollOver = function() {

captionFN(true, "Portable Devices", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {

captionFN(false);

};

};
b3.onRollOver = function() {

captionFN(true, "Security", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {

captionFN(false);

};

};
b4.onRollOver = function() {

captionFN(true, "Regional Settings", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {

captionFN(false);

};

};
b5.onRollOver = function() {

captionFN(true, "Home Networking", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {

captionFN(false);

};

};
b6.onRollOver = function() {

captionFN(true, "Add/Remove Programs", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {

captionFN(false);

};

};
captionFN = function (showCaption, captionText, bName) {

if (showCaption) {

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("hoverCaption", this.getNextHighestDepth());
cap.desc.text = captionText;
cap._width = 7*cap.desc.text.length;
cap._alpha = 75;
//
if ((bName._width+bName._x+cap._width)>Stage.width) {

xo = -2-cap._width;
yo = -17;

} else {

xo = 2;
yo = -17;

}
hoverCaption.onEnterFrame = function() {

cap._x = _root._xmouse+xo;
cap._y = _root._ymouse+yo;
cap._visible = true;

};

} else {

delete hoverCaption.onEnterFrame;
cap._visible = false;

}

};

Now this works perfectly for me and i love it. But this tutorial is geared towards creating a single line caption and not multi line.

What i did was changed the text box properties to multiline, and enabled html formatting. In the caption area, i added a <br> in between the words i wanted on separate lines but this did not work.

Im pulling my hair out here if someone could assist that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

Very Long Dynamic Text Field
Hi,

I'm loading info from an XML file into a dynamic text field. At first, I did this by placing the text field on the stage and giving it a variable name. This worked fine except that I don't want to have to scroll this text field. I just want a very long list that would be scrolled using the browser scroll bar.

The stage area isn't big enough to accommodate a text box that will display all of the dynamic text, so I created a text box with AS. My text still displays, but I still have to define the height of the AS text box, so I'm right back where I started.

How do I create a text box that will display all of my data (without scrolling) regardless of the length.

Using Flash MX,
Thanks a bunch,
Debbie

How To Keep Text Field Text Values After Moving In Time Line?
I'm trying to to make flash application that requires the user to input data on several keyframes in the time line. I have buttons that take the user back and forth between the different keyframes so a user can input the needed data in what ever order they wish and/or go back and change it if they want.

My problems is, that as soon as the user clicks the button to go to another point in the timeline, and they come back, those input textfields that they entered data in are now empty again.

I hope that all makes sense. It seems that there must be an easy way (or even a hard way) to prevent this, and get these fields to retain the input data.

Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated!!!!!

Thanks in Advance!

Text Field Doesn't Display Text When Its In A Page Loaded W/ AttachMovie
I'm having a problem where I made a 'main' page that loads sub-pages via attachMovie and in those subpages I have text fields that are populated via a LoadVars object.

AttachMovie Only Sees Dynamic Text As Single Line
I have an attachMovie which attaches "MC_Docs" to an empty clip. The "MC_Docs" Symbol has a dynamic text box inside. This text box is set to:

Code:

txtDocIntro.wordWrap = true;
txtDocIntro.autoSize = true;

and the actual text box height itself is enough for 1 line because the above code will increase my height automatically off an XML doc.

I've been having a problem where if the text box does increase, the attachMovie object only see's the height as the single line text box instance I created. I need the attachMovie to know the height of the clip it's attaching including the dynamically generated text box height.

I have been googling all over the place and can't seem to find a solution and I have tried a ton myself.

Does anyone know of a solution for this?

Multi-line Text Field Auto Line Break
When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.

I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.

Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?

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

PS. I'm a Flash NEWBIE so please use small words!

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

I am working on a flash application which would have a text field displaying multiple fonts in it. I have embedded the fonts and have added it to the library.I can view them in my computer whereas when viewed in another computer without the font used, display is different.

Add a <font face="library font one">registered mark </font>directly (®) or <font face="library font two"> with a Unicode escape sequence</font>

After the fonts are embedded size of the swf does go up. What could be wrong?

[F8] Single Dynamic Text Loaded With Multiple Input And Others
I just need some guidance here... I am using 4 or 5 input text fields, name, age, score, etc. etc. I also have a couple combo boxes with about 4 choices each, and 2 radio (yes or no) buttons.

This is all on frame 1. The hope is the user will come in and fill out the form, checking the appropriate boxes and radios, and then filling in the input text boxes.

There is then a submit button. Once clicked we go off to frame 2. Here I have a single multiline dynamic text box. What I am trying to do is get the infor from Frame 1 into the text box on frame 2, all neat and readable with spaces, line breaks, etc.

I have gotten as far as to get the input text info over, but not the check boxes or radios, and the input text shows up as one word.

Example if the user says Name: Joe, Age: 23, Score: 50,000, Do you Like Games? Yes radio checked, Interests: RPG checked, Action Checked, Adventure checked.

I want Frame 2 to show:

-------------------------------------
Welcome Joe
Your age is 23
Your Score is 50,000

Because you like games and your interests include:
RPG
Action
Adventure

We want you to do something funny!
---------------------------------------------

Notice that all info is on it's own line and there is added text, also notice the extra carriage returns.

Currently I get this:

-----------------------
Joe2350,000
------------------------

Any help would be appreciated!

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() {

rootup();

//show.text=_root.input.text

function word() {
show.text=_root.input.text
input.text=""
thing.gotoandstop(2);
example2.push(show.text);

}
function rootup() {
_root.up = true;

You can get the column's width, and probably the text label width in the cell field or a character count or some kind of work around to compare the two, but unless your using a monospace font, i'm hard pressed to find a good solution to adding this.

The HTML Text Field Won't Center The Text Inside... Why?
Hello there,

The thing is: I have a HTML text field in my movie that loads a variable from a txt file. I set in the text field paragraph option the 'center' mode.

Ok, it should work fine, but it doesn't... The text loads fine, but it starts in the left side of the field and not in the center as wanted.

I tried to put HTML center tags in the txt like:

Code:
&text=<center><a href="http://www.link.com">This is my text</a></center>
and:

Code:
&text=<div align=center><a href="http://www.link.com">This is my text</a></div>
Both options didn't work as well.

Is there a way to do that or I'll just have to let the HTML aside and use regular dynamic text fields?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the 'ingrish'

Clickable Text Inside Multiline Text Field
Hi there,

I have a movie with a dynamic multiline text field, and want each line of the text to be clickable. The text is put into the text field from a script, and I am using HTML formatting to make the text clickable, as in

mytextfield = "<a href="http://www.domain.com"> + string + "</a>";

However, I don't actually want my clickable text to go to URLs, I want it to run some ActionScript, but I can't figure out if it is possible. Basically what I want to do is something like this

mytextfield = "<a href="_root.gotoAndPlay(4)"> + string + "</a>";

Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way, but I can't find any advice on how to make clickable text in a text field which triggers an ActionScript command.

Hope you can help - Sam

Loading A Different File For Each Button In A Single Dynamic Text Field
Hi,

I'm trying to make something where I have many buttons associated to a different file. Each time a button is clicked it should load the text from that file into the dynamic text field. Also in future, just to be able to open any file associated to the button dynamically

------
This is the code I put in for each button:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

This is the code I got from Kirupa.com so that the file text can be displayed in the dynamic text field:
/****************************************
*********************
****************************************/
ranFile = new LoadVars();
ranFile.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
ran = this["txt"];
file_txt.text = ran;
}
else {
file_txt.text = "The text failed to load due to an error";
}
}

//need to figure out how to get fileNum to be able to determine which file Number //from which button was clicked
fileNum = "1"

//fileNum represents the number in the file name
ranFile.load("\assets\button_load_file" + fileNum +".txt");

stop();

------

Thanks!

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);");

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!

Input Text To Dynamic Text Field
I am trying to populate a dynamic text field from an input text field after a submit button is clicked. This is not submitting to a database or a website but to the actual document itself.

I am creating a madlib for some kids. So first they fill in the nouns, verbs etc then by clicking submit it populates the dynamic text field with the input text.

I just don't know how to begin this AS. I do know I have to name the fields and possibly thier instances but I am not familiar with how to proceed. All searches for this have turned up actual forms on the internet etc.

Many thanks for any help.

Josh
