If you click on the page header (page definition - edit attributes button in v2.0) and then under the display attributes section you will find a focus cursor select list.

No Cursor In Text Field - any browser

I'm fairly new to actionscripting and this forum. I'm not
sure if this is the right place to post, but it has to do with
posting data from a form.
I have come across an odd and very frustrating phenomenon
with a simple flash form. The text fields do not show the blinking
cursor or the text being entered, but when submitted, the email
shows all text entered.
The form is an external movie being loaded into a mc -- I'm
sure this is the problem, but it should be possible no?
Here's the thing -- I have tested the form on it's own and it
works fine. I have also tested it being loaded into a loader
component and it works fine. (see both examples here:
http://www.heymisterdj.com/contact.htm
But in the main movie, swf, the text fields just won't show
text.
(see here - click on Contact -
http://www.heymisterdj.com/newframe.htm
Any ideas?
I don't know if it will help but I have included the AS for
the contact button here.

How to set cursor to text field from message box in swing

I am working Text Field validations in a swing application. when incorrect information is entred in text field a Message is displayed. When I click on OK button on message box I want to set the cursor position to that particular text field for which thet message is displayed.

theOffendingTextfield.requestFocusInWindow();may need to be wrapped in a Swingutilities.invokeLater,
and if you want the text highlighted (so you can just type in new text)
theOffendingTextfield.requestFocusInWindow();
theOffendingTextfield.selectAll();

Placing cursor in text field using AS3

I am a newbie to actionscript 3.0 and need a litlle help that I have not been able to find searching (for two weeks).
I would like the cursor to appear and blink in the first text field in a movie clip that gathers information to be sent to a php. The following does not work.
stage.focus = textField;
textField.setSelection(textField.text.length,textF ield.text.length);
And the only other things I find are for custom cursors. I just want the visitor to see the blinking cursor in the firstName_txt input box when the page appearss.
Also, if the visitor tabs from one input text field to the other, the blinking cursor appears in the first three input text fields but not in the fourth. Yet, the visitor can enter text in the fourth input text field.

I have tested by clicking crtl+enter and uploaded the files to my isp for testing. Neither effort is successful.
BTW, thanks for helping and I am sorry about the cross posting. My bad. I didn't realize there was a section for actionscript at the time.

Position cursor in text field when form is opened

Another newbee question I'm afraid!
I want to position the cursor in a text field when a user opens the form. I can't find a way to do it but I'm pretty sure it's straightforward!
Also, can I remove fields from the tab order?
Thanks (for your help and patience!)

Hi,
You would select the object that you want to receive focus and put the following in the docReady event.
xfa.host.setFocus("this");
The docReady event is a good one to use, because it only fires once.
The tab order can be set in the Tab Order tab. Depending on the version of LC Designer that you have, the flexibility will vary. However I would do this as a last step, as any changes can throw the tab order out of sequence.
Note that tab order is greatly affected by the relevant x/y coordinates of objects and where objects are in separate subforms.
Hope this helps,
Niall

Cursor in Text field

I create a text field required user to type in. Everytime the
user needs to click the mouse in text box before typing.
Could it be automatically that the cursor is in the text box
without pointing the mouse in text box when the movie loaded ? or
just hitting tab button ?
Thank you.

Hello.
You can put this in the pages body tag attributes in the page attributes page (Home>Application Builder>Application 11933>Page Definition>Edit Page)
onload="html_GetElement('ITEM_NAME').focus()"
replacing ITEM_NAME with the proper items name.

Is it possible to show/hide a result text field only if another Text field is visible and has content?

Hi
Please could someone tell me if it is possible to make a text field visible only if another text field is visible and has content?
I have this which works for the content part, but sometimes the field is hidden, so the script must not apply.
var v1 = getField("Text1").value;
event.target.display = v1 !== "" ?
display.visible : display.hidden;
What I need is something along the lines of:
var v1 = getField("Text1").value;
event.target.display = (v1 !== "" && v1!=="Hidden") ?
display.visible : display.hidden;
Thanks for any advise.

Thanks for the hints which led me to the right solution. I created a query to check if the trigger for the visibility was there or not, and this works. The script I have used is:
var v1 = getField("Text1").value;
var v2 = getField("Checkbox").value;
var v3 = getField("Text2").value;
event.target.display = (v1=="" || v3=="" && v2=="On" ) ?
display.visible : display.hidden;

How to hide a input text field in a login form.

First of all let me state i'm kind of new to AS3.
I'm making a login form, and i've managed to make it work,
but when the form actually moves frames, both the user_field, and
password_field, remains visible...
What am I missing to make those fields disappear?.
Here is my code.
Elliot J. Balanza
thanks.

If I understood your task correctly - why not to use
object.visible = false of remove them from container?

Change cursor over text fields

Does anyone know how to change the mouse cursor, to a karat cursor, when the mouse is "hovering" over a JTextField or JTextArea?

OK heres where I get lost...
If you run this program then move the mouse over the JTextField the JFrame will change the cursor to a TEXT_CURSOR but the JDialog will not.
Can anyone make this happen for a JDialog??
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class JDialogMouseTest extends JPanel{
    JTextField textField;
    public JDialogMouseTest(){
        textField = new JTextField();
        textField.addMouseListener(new MouseListener(){
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                mouseEnteredEvent(e);
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
        add(textField);
    private void mouseEnteredEvent(MouseEvent e){
        textField.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.TEXT_CURSOR));
    public static void main(String[] args){
        JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
        JDialogMouseTest mouseTest = new JDialogMouseTest();
        dialog.setContentPane(mouseTest);
        dialog.pack();
        dialog.setVisible(true);
        JDialogMouseTest mouseTest1 = new JDialogMouseTest();
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setContentPane(mouseTest1);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);

How to display a text field if yes selected in radio button

Does anyone know how to hide/show a text field based upon a
radio button selection? What I want to do is ask a question with
yes or no as radio buttons. Then, if the user selects "YES" I want
to display a required text field. If the user click no, there isn't
a need for the text field.

Try this...
<html>
<head>
</head>
<script>
function ShowField(){document.MyForm.MyField.style.display =
"inline";}
</script>
<body>
<form name="MyForm">
<input type="radio" name="MyCheckBox"
onClick="ShowField()">
<input type="text" style="display: none"
name="MyField">
</form>

How to collapse unused text field in PDF form

How to put cursor in a text field

hi,
I have a text field in my jsf page.By default I want to put the cursor into this text field.when a letter is entered into this text field,the data table below this text field must change depending upon the value entered into the text field.After this change also,the cursor must be in the same text field.
how it is possible.
when I entered any letter in this field,there is a call to the server.the cursor must be in that textfield after the call.

Use DOM+JS.
With element.focus() you can set the focus on the desired element.
With the 'onkeypress' attribute you can execute some piece of Javascript on every key press, for example submitting the form or doing an AJAX request.

Reader hides filled in text in form fields

Hi,
I made a form for a client in Indesign and saved in Acrobat > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
When opening in the Reader it hides filled in text in form fields. Only a click in the field will show the text. I want the filled in text be shown as you should expect. Like for example Apple's Preview does. When printing all the text is printed but on first view all the text seems to have dissapeared. Can somebody point out to me where I go wrong?
I hope somebody can help me out.

If the form was ever opened and saved with Preview, it is the likely culprit here. Preview corrupts PDF forms in a number of ways when it saves them. For more information, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
