Text Input Border

I've been trying to make a text input section on my website for people to submit comments, I can get the text area to work fine and everything but instead
of it going to another line when it reaches the edge of the box it just continues horizontally instead of vertically and if i try pressing return the cursor will not go to the next line. I imagine the answer to fix this is incredibly simple but i cant seem to figure it out, any help would much appreciated!

Without seeing the design it hard to say what the 'right' solution is for this. Have you looked at the different text format types in the Properties panel. See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashcatalyst/cs/using/WS4bebcd66a74275c3-326fcb52123816c0204- 7ff7.html#WS4e406940d76143bd650de8681273f063bd3-8000
But there is a chance that you might need to add some code to the project to listen for various events (focus, etc).
Good luck,
Chris

Text input options missing

Hi,
After running some updates yesterday, the "show text input options" is no longer available in the options. Neither can I select suretype when writing a message. Would appreciate some help.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Had to re-boot after removing an application and everything back to normal! What bugs me is that my service provider tech never brought up a re-boot but rather wanted me to delete all my data and start all over!

Conditional for a text input box NOT being null? Sorry for asking so many questions!

Okay, here's the situation. I'm creating a simulation of a form on which there are several text input boxes, 7 of which are mandatory fields. I know I can use a conditional to check whether the box has nothing in it by creating a null variable with no value and doing "if [box variable] is equal to [null variable] then", but the problem is that the validation captions I need to show need to be shown in order, that is to say that the caption for entering a value for the first box will always be shown if that box is null regardless of the contents of other boxes, the second will be shown if that one is null and the first one isn't etc.
When I was investigating this I noticed a post by Lilybiri saying that comparison with a null variable doesn't work for "not equal to" so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to show the captions based on priority. For example, to show the second caption I need to not only check whether the second box variable is null, but also whether the first one isn't.
It gets pretty crazy further along the line where I get to the 7th mandatory field and need to check whether the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boxes are NOT null and whether the 7th one IS. Help!
I did come up with one potential solution to this prior to posting: if I set a different advanced action for each input box losing focus which checks whether the variable is null and if so sets a "flag" variable to 0, and in the else set it to 1, I imagine I can then replace the "not equal to" with a check to that flag variable being equal to 1 (which means there is text in the box). I think this will work but I thought I'd check to see if there's an easier way first.

No it DOESN'T require everything to be on one slide. It just has to LOOK as if that's what it is.
I would suggest that it doesn't really matter how many Captivate slides are involved in the final solution, as long as it works the same way (or as close as possible) to the original software that you are simulating. Your users don't frankly know or care how you achieved the simulation. I guarantee they won't be thinking of you or Captivate.
In my experience, you can make creating elearning a lot more difficult than it needs to be in Captivate by trying to rebuild the app, rather than just simulating how it works. For example, thinking that if everything happened on one web page or screen in the app then it must also happen on a single slide in Captivate. The fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T need to work this way. And in some cases it might even be impossible to reproduce in Captivate this way.
So the quickest path to a solution is often to use multiple slides, which has the advantage of allowing you to "fix" certain things on screen (e.g. the contents of fields already visited) by using READ ONLY variable output in transparent captions, focusing only on one element of the interface that the user can interact with on that slide. It doesn't necessarily prevent you from moving back and forth between elements, just as you can in the original app. But it is far easier to create and maintain.
I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to pull this off on one slide in Captivate, but it is going to require a LOT of variables and Advanced Actions to build and debug. So the term Rapid Elearning becomes something of a misnomer if it takes you a long time to complete one slide.

Text input box for displaying notes

How can I use a text input box so delegates can write notes in which then appear on other pages as they work through the course.
Ken

It seems you would be able to do this with user variables, in which you store the content retrieved from the Text Entry Box. Later on (other slides) you can use this content by adding it to a Text Caption. Beware: I'm not sure about the amount of characters that can be stored.

Text Input Prompt

Does anyone tried to build some text input field that can do prompt? Something like auto-complete in source code edit. It would mean that:
- we have to make the rest of the prompt text gray
- the cursor blinks right after the user input characters
- if user click space bar, the first word in prompt become solid and cursor moves to next word.
Is this something that's possible to do for iPhone?

- How do I programmatically place the cursor in the middle of a word
- How do I font/color part of word in text input control
- How do I select the text up to or from where the cursor is...
You can't. You can't. You can't. At least not with a UITextField.
I've done more or less of what you are looking for in PocketMoney for auto completing transaction. You need to do a lot of rolling of your own code to pretend you have UITextField.
What I ended up doing is drawing the uncompleted text at the end of the current text input of the UITextField that I subclassed.

Text input field

How can I create a text input field?

Ok, I found the solution by a lot of searching and trial and error:
sym.$('#nickname').val("XXX");
..., where "nickname" is the id of the input field.

Text Input Autocomplete

How do you make a text input control behave like a normal web
form control that displays suggestion as you type in the control.
I'm sure Flex can do this I am apparently looking in the wrong
places. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Text input variable

How do i make a text input element have a variable ?.....I
don't mean instance name ....i mean variable!

I'd say you just don't do it that way, but to give more
advice I'd need more info on what and why ...
There should be a lot of solutions to your problen once it's
nature is clearer.

Text Input: How To Perform Procedure on Console Input Without Variables

Problem Defined:
Need to analyze text input on console to ensure it meets conditional statements before assigning to a variable.
I can't find a method to take scanner input from the console without first assigning it to a variable. I don't want to assign it to a variable unless it meets a certain condition.
This is for a class assignment and I must use the console for input--no dialog boxes.
This is what I want to do:
Read Input; Hold In Memory; Test if Null; Test if Length is 14 Digits; Assign to Acct if All Conditions Are Met
If Null, tell the user he needs to actually enter input or q to quit. Exit after five failures.
If input is not equal to 14 digits, inform user. Offer escape with q. Exit after five failures.
I only know how to assign a value to a variable from the various methods that take input. How do I take input and store it in memory to analyze without assigning it to a variable?
I have this and the code is probably not correct. I'm a rank newbie. I've written several programs, but they're all basic, mostly using only the methods I learned in class and what I pulled out of books. My prof doesn't even intend on going over if, for and while! She's happy with us just copying verbatim and editing one or two lines so the source isn't exactly what she wrote on the board. I'm trying to learn how to do things that I know are useful, like making sure input is in the proper format, asking questions like what did people use before scanner just gets me blank responses with a quizzical look, but no answer.
new Scanner = console scanner (system.in);
String Acct
Acct = console.next();
if Acct == null . You entered nothing. Try again or press q to exit.");
return to Line 1 //No idea how to do this.
if Acct == 'q'
Close Program
if length.Acct = 14 ( Acct = Acct )
else System.out.print("Your account number is 14 digits. You didn't enter 14 digits. Try again. Or press q to quit.")
goto Acct = console.next
Also, if you need to read an address from the console entered on one line, what methods can you use to pull one word at a time and then position them onto multiple lines?
Enter Address: 123 Main Street Apt 321 Port View, FL 32547
123 Main Street
Apartment 121
Port View FL
32547
Any help putting this together would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

possibly assign it to another variable (or more likely, ask the user for valid input if the checks don't pass).
You can use loops and other constructs to keep asking for user input until valid values are provided.
if Acct == null . You entered nothing. Try again or press q to exit.");
return to Line 1 //No idea how to do this.Read up on while loops.

Port View FL
32547Well that depends. How do you know that the street is "123 Main Street" and not "123 Main Street Apartment" or "123 Main Street Apartment 121".
You can get the whole String from the user and then split the String into smaller Strings _if_ you can answer the question on the previous line.

Text input box to show in another text field

Hello,
I have a text input box (Text1) showing during a certain label on the stage. On another label there is another text field (Text2) that is not input-able. This second text field (Text2) should show whatever the user has inputted in the first text input field (Text1).
Both of these elements are not symbols and right now they are both text elements.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
~iana~

I believe the inputField is set accordingly. And including your reply, here's what I've got on my stage:
sym.$("Name").attr('contentEditable', true);
var inputValue = sym.$("Name").value;
// other text
sym.$("Signature").html(inputValue);
Thus far, this does not work. "Name" field is Text1 (inputField) and the "Signature" is Text2 (text box)
I'm new to all this so I've prob got something wrong...do you know what I should adjust?

Text Input header render lost focus on grid data refresh

I have create a text input type header render for datagrid as a filter. On change event I am dispatching my custom event which refresh the datagrid from
server side filter but in this the text input in which I am typing lost focus and gain it again on mouce click
Alreadt tried setFocus and focusManager
Thanks
Abha

I'd probably wait for updateComplete and then call setFocus again. And/or
use callLater to defer setting focus.

Text Input field return char problem

I have a multiline text input field used as a message area on a form (sending mail through a PHP doc). When I hit return to start new paragraph in that field and the form content is send and received at other end everything after that return is lost? Any ideas would be fantastic...
Marc

copy the code between the dotted lines and attach it to the same timeline that contains your submit button:
var sendLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
var receiveLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
receiveLV.onData=function(src){
trace("received");
trace(src); // or use a textfield to see the return if you're not able to see trace output when testing
// and you should attach code to objects. assign an instance name to your submit button (say submitBtn) and use:
submitBtn.onRelease=function(){
sendLV.name = form.nameTF.text; // assign properties to sendLV that your php is expecting. assign values to those properties using the form data
sendLV.email=...
sendLV.message=...
sendLV.sendAndLoad("email.php",receiveLV,"POST");
trace("sent\n"+sendLV.message)
and change your email.php file to:
<?php
echo $_POST['message'];
?>

team sheds a bit of light on the issue
Click here for an Article
and link for uninstalling Flash Player/Plug In:

Text input control the length

Hey,
I have a text input field with 240 length (displayed in 3 rows).
when users enters more than this length it stops the user but when he copies from some where else
and pastes the text here it does not stop the user to the size. (he can copy more than 240 size).
- is there a way we can provide a counter when he types or copies here
- how do we stop him when he copies more than 240 size (copying using right click mouse and paste OR ctrl-V)
Thanks

Hi,
I tried the javascript. It prevants the user to paste. But the need is to allow the user to do the right-click paste but not beyond the allowed size.
Also,
when I get the error message it shows the DB length constraint message EVEN THOUGH I have added a validation for length with error message ("Length cannot be more then 60") in the attribute.
Error: Attribute set with value 123456701234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 456789012123456701 2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 for Note in AppModule.EmpView has invalid precision/scale

How can I show my message and suppress the above default message?
Also the message shows up twice?
Thanks
