Flash :: Validate Phone Numer

A Question About Text, String And Numer.
Hey everybody! :-)

I'm having this weird problem that I have never come across...

I want the user to add a number so I can add another number to it
and get the final sum.
sounds simple, but here is the problem.

the user enters the number in a textfield, and I get the number like this:
code:
user_number = this._parent.sum.text;

the thing is the number in the text field is a String and not a number, so when I want to use the number and add to it another number
like so (lets say I want to add 5, just for the example):

code:
final_sum = user_number + 5;

(for the example the user_number=1)

than instead of getting in the final_sum the result 9,
I am getting 15 (it writes 5 next to the 1).

I do know that it happenes because the number in the text is a String, but how do I use it as a number ???

Thank!!! :-)

Phone
Ok, I have had help from some people for coding a phone. They helped me out, and now I have something to where you punch in your phone. That works great, I just need to come up with a design for it.

This is what I was thinking:

I want to make like a flip phone to where the phone will flip open. How could I do this. My dad is a really good artist and could draw it for me, but what should I have him draw. The starting, and ending positions?

Well, any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!

I want to format a phone numer based on a RegEx pattern.
I got a sample code but that is a VB Script.

How can I use the same logic (given below) in ActionScript3.0.

'Create a regular expression object
Dim re
Set re = New RegExp

'Specify the pattern
re.Pattern = "(d{3})(d{3})(d{4})"

'Use the replace method to perform the formatting
Dim strFormattedPN
strFormattedPN = re.Replace(strUnformattedPN, "($1) $2-$3")

Phone Number Validation
Howdy...

I need some help on validating the right form of the phone number...

I have most of the aspects validated and I got into some problems that I cannot solve myself...

1. I am using textfield.restrict = "0-9-"; to restrict the alphabetic characters entered to the text field, and it works fine when I publish the HTML and check it on the web. However, I cannot use any keys like Backspace or Delete keys to erase character within the Flash... Any way I can achieve both???

2. The final format of the phone number will be '123-456-7890'. I have a onEnterFrame handler that checks if the current character length is 3 or 7 to add '-' so that the user do not need to press '-' key... It works fine when I enter the number one by one, but, say, if I hold the '1' longer to get '111-111-1111', I get '111111111111' because it just took the advantage of onEnterFrame handler... Any help on this anybody???

I have attached the FLA file in case you need to take a look...

Thank you for your time...

Cell Phone Displays?
I was checking out the trial for Flash MX 2004 when I seen cellphone templates for certain phones? Do these templates mean that you can use a flash interface on your cellphone? Or is it something like backgrounds or that sort of stuff.

Using AS To Convert Phone# To Add Hyphens

Cell Phone Pictures
I have a flash movie that displays pictures, but I thought it would be really cool if you could click a button and have the picture sent to your cell phone.

Verizon wireless already does this with Flash on their vtext.com site, but I was wondering how difficult it would be to add it to my site.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Controlling With Phone Tone?
Is there a way to get flash to respond to specific sounds?

I'm wanting to create a game where you can control the movement of the sprite using the buttons on a regular touch tone phone. In theory it sounds relatively easy you just get flash to respond when it 'hears' a specific tone but I have no idea how to do this. Does anyone know if it's possible?

I'm a newbie when it comes to actionscript but I've had a bit experience with lingo back in the days of director 7!

Emulating A Cell Phone
Hi Im trying to get a tricky project off the ground.
One aspect of it is to simulate a keypad on a cell
phone (button movement not necessary). I need
to utilize variables from the keypad buttons in either
number or alphabet form using a short delay
between input to put names and numbers into
an address book (for instance 2 is either: 2 [or A,B
or C during a short time frame]. I'll also need to search
into the phone book (array) using two number
combinations from the keypad. The readout screen
will show a text box with the name or number, plus one
box above and below showing the contents before
and after.

Any tips or advice to help me out in any way would be
appreciated. Perhaps you know of a sample piece
I can learn from.

Is it possible to make those features the same way the calendar?

AS Textfield Validate
hi yall,
does anybody know the AS-syntax for asking an input-type-textfield if, for example, an email-adress is correctly spelled before submitting???
i´m not a programmer, but i successfully did this with javascript within a html-file:

if (document.KAUFANFRAGE.E_Mail.value.indexOf ('@',0) == -1 || document.KAUFANFRAGE.E_Mail.value.indexOf ('.',0) == -1){
alert("Bitte geben Sie eine gültige E-Mail-Adresse ein.

Zum Beispiel: IhrName@IhreDomain.de")
document.KAUFANFRAGE.E_Mail.select();
document.KAUFANFRAGE.E_Mail.focus();
return false;
}

and something like this in AS would really make me happy.
thanxalot dan

Validate A Form
Hi,

I have been trying to make a sort of flash mx plugin for my swishmovie. It's a form that have the actions to posts the textboxes to a cgi script. It all works but I keep getting empty forms so I would like to validate some fields: like an e-mail has to have a "@" and a "." in it and another field may not be blank. So far no luck. I did some searching on this board but couldn't understand it at all cause i'm a real newbie.

This is what my submit button does:

on(press)
{

getURL ("http://users.scoutnet.nl/cgi-bin/mail-a-form.cgi", "nullframe", "POST");

GotoAndStop(2);
}

Where frame 2 is a 'thank you' message.

Any helps would be greately appriciated

Thanks!

Validate Combobox
Hello All,

I am using the MX components. How do you validate the value of a comboBox in a form. I have4 textboxes and 4 comboboxes. I want the user to select either 2 of the four comboboxes before the form can proceed to the the next part of the form on the next frame. In the validation code I have used the or || to no avail. Can anyone shed any light on this for me.

Thanks,

Justice

Validate Text
How can i a validate a text box, so that if the (instancename.txt = 0) { then it would = to false;
else ; true

So what im triyn to do is validate the text box, so that it has some text or values in it otherwise an error would show up, if no tedxt is enter in the txt box

Validate Function
Im kinda new to functions so this may be a very stupid question. Everything works perfect when I have the following code
empID_txt.onKillFocus = function():Void{
if(empID_txt.length == 0){
idValidate_txt.text = "PLEASE ENTER YOUR EMPLOYEE ID";
}else if(empID_txt.length > 0){
idValidate_txt.text = "";
}
}

I would like to reuse this code without having to rewrite it everytime (thats why I thought you used functions in the first place) so I changed my code to
function validateID():Void
{
if(empID_txt.length == 0){
idValidate_txt.text = "PLEASE ENTER YOUR EMPLOYEE ID";
}else if(empID_txt.length > 0){
idValidate_txt.text = "";
}
}
empID_txt.onKillFocus = validateID();

now the idValidate_txt.text comes up PLEASE ENTER YOUR EMPLOYEE ID as soon as the movie starts and will not go away even if you fill out the empID_txt. I dont understand where I am going wrong.
