Putting cursor in input text field

I'm trying to put the cursor in an input text field as soon
as I get to a certain frame. I'm using Selection.setFocus() but it
does not seem to work. It returns true but I still can't see my
cursor and I can't type to the field until I click in it or tab to
it. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm neglecting to do?

mmmm just did that, I don't get the carret, but I can type
just to be pedantic you did pass the TextField instance ie
Selection.setFocus(myTextField )?

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.

Changing the cursor position in an input text field and Removing leading numeric zeros

Flash8 - AS2
It's good to be back after all these years and thanks for the faithfull folks like kglad, Ned Murphy, Rothrock and all the others who give so much of themselves to make this forum a success!
My Problem:
I have an input text field that is named in the properties box as 'numberOfKids'.
When the program is executed, and a delete or backspace is pressed the input textfield goes blank
and any calculations that use 'numberOfKids' shows NaN.
I have trapped the NaN and undefined so that a numeric 0 shows up instead of a blank.
There are two problems:
First problem:
The cursor is to the left of the zero, so the first number inputted by the user is 10x larger than what they want. 0 becomes 10.
Question: How do I get the cursor to move to the right of the 0?
Second Problem:
When I manually move the cursor to the right of the 0 and input a number, say 4, it shows up as 04.
Question 2: How do I delete the leading numeric zero in the input textfield?
Thanks for the help.
Here's the code I am using:
calculateChildWeight = function () {
if (isNaN(numberOfKids)) {
numberOfKids = 0;
if ((numberOfKids) == undefined) {
numberOfKids = 0;
if (numberOfKids>=0 && numberOfKids<=137) {
numberOfKids = numberOfKids;
} else {
numberOfKids = 0;
if (isNaN(adjustedChildWeight)) {
adjustedChildWeight = 0;
if ((adjustedChildWeight)=undefined) {
adjustedChildWeight = 0;
adjustedChildWeight = Number(numberOfKids*(-100));
//numberOfKids.setSelection(numberOfKids.length, numberOfKids.length);
//if (numberOfKids.length=2 && numberOfKids<10) {
// remove the first character or leading zero
// numberOfKids = numberOfKids;

Thanks Rothrock for being so patient.
I'm lost!
I go back to a brand new flash file to try and implement the textfields as a stand alone test document. I have lost the concept I think.
I created on the stage of a blank .fla file 4 text fields, 2 input and 2 dynamic. I gave them an instance name in the properties box. I use this instance name.text to find the value of the field. I use the parseInt to put that value into a numeric variable for calculation. The results are put to the appropriate textfield.
All seems to work except one of my input text fields. I use the value of this field to calculate:
revisedValue = parseInt(numberOfKids.text);
revisedValue = revisedValue*(-100);
The problem now is that if the numberic '2' is inputted into numberOfKids, numberOfKids.text shows up as 200 and a trace shows up as '2NaN'.
Flash is logical and consistant, I must conform to it but I'm in the dark.
(( Concerning the forum: If I click on helpful, which your posts have been in directing me, does that blank out the possibility of selecting the correct answer in the future???))

Pressing Enter Button Gives a Blank Page while Cursor is in Text Field

Hi,
I have a problem on my jsp page that there is a text filed (input type="text") and a button (input type="button") to submit the page.
When page loads the cursor blinks in the text field, and at the same moment if i hit the enter button of my keyboard it gives a blank page.
Here the button on page does not clicked by this enter button, no script calls neither the page submitted to the given url.
Kindly suggest what is going wrong.
Thanks in Advance
Rajiv K.

I'd come across this issue a while back: [http://tipsandtricks.nogoodatcoding.com/2007/07/html-single-text-field-submit-caveat.html]; when there is only a single text field in a form, then pressing enter causes a submit with the text-field as the initiator. The submit button isn't invoked. This means any onsubmit actions will not be called. A simple way out is to put in a dummy text field in the form and set it's display to none (using CSS/styling)

Instance name and Var for Input Text fields

I have several Input Text fields, as a form, linked to a PHP
script for which I require Var's for each field.
But I also need Instance names for each field, so I can fix
the tabIndex.
Yet, everytime I test my movie, the text fields have their
Paths (_level0.fName) written in them.
They are normally blank, and I've tried putting in some text
of my own, but the Var name is still displayed in the text fields.
Is there any way I can stop that from happening, and keep
both the Instance names and Var's in-place.
As far as I know, I need both the Instance name (for the
tabIndex) and the Var (for the PHP script) or is there a way that
the tabIndex and PHP script will work with either of the two?
Thanks
Chaz.

Can you use a different name for ‘instance name’
and ‘var’? That seems to solve the problem but I
don’t know if that helps you in your situation.
For an example;
Instance name: test_txt
Var: test

Input text field nested in movie clip?

Hello,
Is it possible to have an input text field inside a movie
clip in Flash Lite 2? I've tried targeting it all different ways
and it doesn't seem to work, so I just thought I'd check with
someone who knows.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Nirnalatha,
I have newly joined this forum and while going through the
posts I came across your post which I thought I could help out. But
I think I am too late for the reply.
I am also into Flashlite development couple of months from
now. Coming to your questions:
1. Textbox problem: I am surprised to know that E70 mobiles
(Device central list has E70-1 only) does not show input text box
when cursor is in input box. Anyways its a good thing that you dont
get an additonal input box. Like all J2ME applications you will be
able to type the text inline. Infact we had reverse problem where I
was told to create inline edit input box instead of flashlite input
box. I think this is the mobile setting. Check the device features
in the Adobe Device Central under Flash - Standalone player - Text
and Fonts features. It will be mentioned whether inline text is
allowed or not.
2. Soft keys issues: You need to use
fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Previous", "Next");
and use a key listener in order to override the Mobile
Softkey commands. Check out the flashlite help which clearly
explains this.
Hope I have given youa way to solve ur problem.

Font disappears in Input Text field

Steps to recreate:
1. Create an input text field. Embed Characters. Set Font to Arial, Bold.
2. Create a static text field. Put some text in the field. Set Font to Arial, Regular, Anti-Alias for Readability.
3. Run out. Notice that Input Text field won't accept any input.
4. Set Input Text Field to Regular.
5. Run out. Notice that Input Text field will now accept input.
Any ideas why the Input Text Field won't accept any input in Step 3?
I'm using Flash CS4.

I found this same problem updating my CS4 to CS5.
All I had to do was use a different Font, then Embed it and the problem was solved.
Then change it back to your original font, maybe remove and then re-embed it aswell.

Auto-tabbing between input text fields in AS3

Hello-
I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing will help tremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class. Also, I've been working with AS3 for about 2 weeks lol!
thanks!

Awesome, thank you, that works nicely! Now I need to figure out how to capture individual keyCodes for each input and then come up with a conditional to check for right or wrong answers. I have a "check your answers" button all set up. I think I am almost there, possibly a syntax hiccup for me. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.

Input text field problem

I am VERY new at this...I'm following directions in "Hands On
Training Flash 8 book...
When creating an input text field the book instructs me to
embed the font using the embed button that is in the Property
Inspector...When I do this and test the movie there is no cursor in
the text box and I am not allowed to type in it..
If I do not embed the font then when I test the movie the
input field works. I click on it and get a cursor and am able to
enter information.
Is the book I'm using wrong here or is there something I'm
missing? Thank you.

Use E-commerce Attributes to create an input text field

Hey BC Community,
Wondering if anyone has been able to create any specialized code to use an e-commerce attribute field as a input text field?
I have a clients that needs to capture various input fields from the customer on the Large Product view. Unfortunately I have no more open slots (yup - used up all 4 custom slots, unit type, product meta, etc.) so I can use the "How to Set Up Special Instructions Box" idea, as I need to put the <input> fields in a Content Holder, as not all of these products have this required input fields.
Long story short, does anyone know how to use the {tag_attributes} area of the e-commerce platform to create user input fields, which will of course, populate into the Shopping Cart as well?
Thanks,
Aaron

Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text field in Flash

Yes, & tags are not supported by
Flash but you can
use Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text
field in Flash:
Download & install Subscript & Superscript fonts
from
http://www.subscriptfont.com
or
http://www.superscriptfont.com
You will need to restart Flash software after installed
fonts.
Create a dynamic text field with Arial font embeded. Set the
HTML property to true.
Create a dynamic text field with Subscript font embeded.
Create a dynamic text field with Superscript font embeded.
Use HTML tag to set text to subscript or superscript like
below:
Some text©
If you are using ActionScript to test the htmlText, use
script like below:
my_txt.htmlText = "Some textTM";
They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline
and it's real subscript..

How Can i send the data entered in Input text fields to e-mail?

Iam Jennifer, Iam having a doubt in Flash, I hope that you
are going to solve my problem, Iam taking 3 Static text fields as
Name, Age and Country and besides each and every static text fields
i have taken 3 input text fields with different instance names,
when i enter my Name, Age and Country details in the input text
fields and after entering those details if user clicks the submit
button the data should be send to some mail address, is it possible
Im not so good at action script, but i hope that any one can
help me...
Iam attaching the action script code also, please find the
attachment below, the actions are given to button.
Attach Code
Btn.onPress = function ()
mail_lv = new LoadVars();
mail_lv.dummy1 = "";
mail_lv.subject = "Details";
mail_lv.message = "hi";
mail_lv.username = "name_txt".text;
mail_lv.age = "age_txt".text;
mail_lv.country = "country_txt".text;
mail_lv.onLoad = function ()
trace("Sent successfully...");
trace("mail_lv.subject = " + mail_lv.subject);
trace("mail_lv.message = " + mail_lv.message);
mail_lv.send("mailto:[email protected]", "_blank");

The names of your variables, "name_txt", for instance, should
NOT have quotes around them. Use:
mail_lv.username = name_txt.text;
mail_lv.age = age_txt.text;
mail_lv.country = country_txt.text;

How can i validate current row input text field like required.

Hi All,
jdev 11.1.2.1.0
in my use case i have drag drop one viewobject as a adf table. and in table i have also add one extra input text field which is not based on
vo.
now i want to validate current row input text field not null when i commit row.
but when i using required property true. it worked for all row in table. problem is that i want only current row input text field validate not all
thanks,
Manish

When the user tries commit the data by clicking on the button -- For that button, have the logic in the actionlistener method to check if the additional input field is NULL or NOT.
If it is NULL, show an error message using FacesContext.addMessage() API.
Thanks,
Navaneeth

How to allow input text field to accept more than one "specific" answer.

Hi,
I am working for something and trying to create a type-box-based quiz for one of my classes, where an input text field can change it's border color if 2 or more words from an accepted word list is inputed.
For example, Say a list has possible answers: R,G, B, Y for the question "Name 2 colors".
I want to create an input text box where the border of the box will change color if any 2 letters (in the above list) are entered into it.
I've tried setting up a variable NumberSuccesses and setting it so that the number increases by 1 for each letter entered e.g.
if (Ex.text == "R");
NumSuc = NumSuc +1; // the var NumSuc has already been defined earlier in the code
If (Ex.text ''G")
NumSuc = NumSuc + 1
if (NumSuc == 2)
Ex.borderColor = 0x0000FF
but that didn't work.. and I tried doing it with another function which I use for multiple input boxes like if there were boxes A, B, C. I could set up a general function where if the correct answers were entered into A, B, an C respectively, only then will say, a checkmark show up using a
EnableCheckmark (); type function. Not sure how to do it if it's the same text input box though. Also just tried adding it into the same function re.
If (Ex.text == "R" + "G")
Ex.borderColor = 0x0000FF
.. Does anyone know what else I can do?

The solution of Nishu with Evaluation Logic:
//These Are the Possible Answers
var solutions:Array = new Array("A","B","C","D");
function testInput(_inputText:String):Boolean
 //the delimiter could also be a comma, here it is a space
 var inputStringArray:Array = _inputText.split(" ");
 var counter:Number = 0;
 for (var i:int=0; i<inputStringArray.length; i++)
 for (var j:int=0; j<solutions.length; j++)
 if (inputStringArray[i]== solutions[j])
 counter++;
 if (counter >=2)
 trace("true");
 return true;
 else
 trace("false");
 return false;
//Textfield with name input_txt on stage
input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, answerTxtInp);
// The function that will be called by the event listener
function answerTxtInp(txtEvent:TextEvent):void
 // depending on the possible answers of characters, change the border color
 if(testInput(input_txt.text)){
 input_txt.borderColor = 0xFF0000;
 else{
 input_txt.borderColor = 0x000000;
