Fields of text, of the instances or variables

Hello
I received conflicting information about how the text fields must be directed to and I would like to clarify. One place, I read that you should always use the var scope in the field of text properties panel to give your text field a variable name, and you should not use the instance name field. Someone told me exactly the opposite, saying that the var on the text field properties panel has been left more of Flash 5 and it should not be used.

I built a GUI with type of Calculator buttons which filled a text entry field. I gave the text field a name var and not an instance name. They worked very well. I have now found something to incorporate in the GUI, but it was built with text fields with no variable names instance names. When I try to adapt my gui or the new code does not have one or the other, they work fine separately.

I'd appreciate really any clarification you could offer.
Thank you
Beatie

Ah, well, I try to fill the text with a button input field. Code:

var Name1 = "";
times_btn.onRelease = function() {}
"" Name1 = name1 + ' * ";
}

has worked with a var name, but not at all working with an instance name. Actually even try to target using this.display1 = this.display1 + "*"; " does not work with an instance name, so maybe that's the answer. The only thing is that I have other text fields, make what they need with only the name of the instances. It's confusing.

Thank you
Beatie

P.S. Oh no it's just bad coding.

times_btn.onRelease = function() {}
display1. Text = display1.text + "*"; "
}

works very well. Thanks for your reply, it really helped.

  • Cannot insert field or paste into the existing local Variable (Boolean container)

    Cannot insert field or paste into the existing local Variable (Boolean container)...  TestStand 4.1.

    It is very strange, especially since I've done it before.

    'Paste' and "insert field" selections are grayed out and disabled in the context menu.  I tried everything I could imagine and tried various combinations of positions.  I'm sure it's something simple, bu redicoulously, I can't find the redicule to solve this annoying problem issue.

  • Name of the instances of Variables

    Hello

    I am very new to Flash and ActionScript, but I have a background in Server programming and web client-side applications, if at least I'm not completely helpless.

    I am trying to figure when an Instance name becomes available for ActionScript code, so I can modify it.

    I have a Clip in scene 1-> image 10, in this Clip, the Frame 10, I have an empty clip that I am trying to load a .swf in. I can actually load the .swf in there if I put the code to load it into the same framework that I display the .swf, but I want it to be completely loaded before moving into this framework.

    By trial and error, which I made so he can do what I need to put the instance in the frame 1 and setting it's alpha to 0, so it is not slammed shut. This solution seems not very portable for me.

    Is there a "correct" way to load a file into a Clip until it gets instantiated? Or, what are the different ways people get around this problem? This 'solution' that I found works in this particular case, but there are a few similar cases in this project where it would be all just too heavy.

    Thank you
    Chris

    Chris,

    It is the way to do it, for the better or worse. The metaphor of the timeline is
    a powerful for animation, but it can be confusing in terms of
    programming. The name of the instance becomes a variable automatically for you,
    and that happens when the playhead enters that frame.

    > This solution seems not very portable for me.

    I can see that. ;) One of the oddities.

    > Is there a "correct" way to load a file into a Clip before
    > It gets instantiated?

    Before it is instantiated, there is nothing (no MovieClip instance) for
    Load the content in.

    > question? This 'solution' that I found works especially

    The MovieClip.createEmptyMovieClip () method to create a MovieClip
    instance during execution. Maybe it's a way to go. You can also extend
    MovieClip and associated with your submarine of the class with this particular movie clip assets
    in the library (right-click and look at properties or a link...). In this way
    your sub class can assign this instance invisible until needed otherwise.

    But the solution that you have already found is a typical no-frills approach.

  • create fields of text with the text in a table?

    I have a beautiful piece of code that allows me to dynamically add a dynamic text on the stage box, add text to it and control its position and formatting:

    var txt:TextField = new TextField();
    txt. Text = "fiery."
    txt.x = 50;
    txt.y = 50;
    var format: TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    format. Color = 0x2F55EA;
    format.font = "Arial";
    format. Size = 18;
    txt.setTextFormat (format);
    stage.addChild (txt);

    It is simply the word "tempestuous" appear on the film.


    The problem is I want to create a lot of words with different positions, the time of departure, to make them disappear and then have different words appear. It would look like this:

    http://www.mediaplusyou.com/test/pbg3.html

    The SWF to the link was created with After Effects and the file size is 1.5 MB - too big for a web banner. I was told I could recreate it dynamically with actionscript and get path file size down. I have worked through various tutorials with little luck.

    So, if I have a list of 100 words, how can I activate the code above in a cloud of words that appear one or two at a time?  I guess I'll put words in a table, but how can I get the code above to browse the table and picking up the position attributes and the format?

    I appreciate very much all the advice.

    One way would be to use an enterframe to walk through the table slowly event if you would probably like a relatively slow pace.

    Var words: Array = new Array ("feisty", "cheese", "frodo", "home");
    var counter: uint = 0;

    function addWords(evt:Event):void {}
    var txt:TextField = new TextField();
    txt. Text = words [counter];
    var format: TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    format. Color = 0x2F55EA;
    format.font = "Arial";
    format. Size = 18;
    txt.setTextFormat (format);
    txt.x = Math.Random () * stage.stageWidth;
    txt.y = Math.Random () * stage.stageHeight;
    addChild (txt);
    Counter += 1;
    if(Counter == Words.Length) {}
    stage.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, addWords);
    }
    }

    stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, addWords);

    A slower approach can be achieved using a Timer object that is configured to trigger the number of items in the table.

  • Field validation text for the time format

    Hi all

    I have been breaking my head for almost 2 weeks, but am not able to figure it out... Please help me solve the riddle... here, it will:

    In a text field, I want to perform an operation in the following way:

    > a text default to 00:00:00 is defined at the moment as the text field is for the moment and the length in characters of the field is 8.

    > if the cursor is in position 0 (zero) and if I press a number of key it should replace the value of the 0 position and move the cursor to the next position.

    for example: 00:00:00

    20:00

    explanation : now the cursor is in position 0 and I press the 2 key it should replace the value 0 in position 0 and den move the cursor on the position 1 ie. next position...

    When I press a button not digital it shouldn't replace the value, but the slider should move to the next position.

    This seems to work ok. You need to test more, however. I've added a few properties for the hours, minutes and seconds as well.

  • data from one field to another field of text on the next page

    Hi all

    Hi I have a form that contains data from the data binding, the thing is the data maps to a certain text field and if this field is filled in, it should continue on the text field located on the page immediately after this one. the reason for using the text field instead of subform and make repeating is that the customer does not change the position and the structure of other fields as a result of this area, they are OK with the amount spilled in the following text field.

    is there a script for the same disease in Java script or form Calc.

    Thanks in advance.

    de1209

    It is not as simple as it sounds. You won't be able to split the field during bonding time. The entire string must go on the ground and only after that he completed the biinding can change us around. A colleague of mine did for an interactive field and it's a very complicated code. Here is a link to his blog entry that describes what she did:

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/lcdesigner/2008/07/an_example_of_splitting_text_a.html

    But this is only part of the problem... once separate you the information in two areas that you need to recombine into one field that the data submitted can represent correctly again. If you reverse the process in a preparatory stage.

    Make sense?

  • Copy the contents of several fields of text to the Clipboard

    I work in Flash Builder and Catalyst CS5 generation of a project that will help technicians to find easily the policies and instruments. An area that I want to concentrate on is the section Notes. I do want the user to enter text and then have a 'Notes copy to Clipboard' button which will collect all the data from these fields and store them in the Clipboard. This way all the agent has to do is to paste in the note appearing on their service ticket.

    Here is an example of the fields he would need.

    • Name:
    • Phone number:

    • Question:
    • Symptoms:

    • Troubleshooting notes:

    I also want the label of the text field to be included in the notes. So when someone sticks the notes, it is not only the content, but will include the name of the area of text as well. "Telephone number: 555-123-4567" instead of just "555-123-4567".

    I hope this makes sense guys! I'm not that experienced with Flash!

    This should get you:

    import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;

    var a: String = "name: John Doe;
    var b:String = a + "\n" + "phone: 555-1212";

    Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData (ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT, b);

    This is probably an easy problem to solve for those who have more than a month of experience with flash.

    any thoughts?

    you have a movieclip in your library and this movieclip contains a textfield, correct?

    If Yes, then you need only a single line of code on the timeline of the movieclip to force all textfields in all instances of movieclip will be filled by the name of the movieclip instance.

  • Max of the Instance size?

    Hey all,.

    Nobody knows where and how you set the size the instance process max? I created an object of BPM with a string attribute. I then created a quick presentation so that I could cut and spent an xml document in the text box and submit the form. When I submit the form, I get the following error:

    Caused by: error in executing for the process execution engine.
    Caused by: Max size exceeded instance.
    Current size is 23461, while the maximum size is 16384.

    My code seems to work very well with a small xml document. Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    Thank you
    Graham

    Hi Graham,

    In the Studio, you can change the size of the max instance by going to the project Navigator-> right mouse tab by clicking on the project->, click 'Preferences of engine'-> with the 'Engine' category selected in the upper left corner click on the tab 'Advanced' in the upper middle part of the dialog box-> change the value in the field 'maximum size of the Instance.

    There is a similar setting on the company, you need to change before starting the deployment of the project for this.

    You will get a warning message if you did too big ("the amount of memory used to store the instance in memory (maximum size of instance * cache size) must be less than half the maximum JVM heap size"). If you see this error, remove your calculator and click on the 'Détails' tab (to the right of the "Advanced" tab "you clicked right on"). Note the "Maximum JVM Heap Size" (usually 256 MB). For example, if you change the size of the instance in the "Advanced" tab from 16 KB to 32 KB, you can change the setting of "Cache of Instances" of 5000 to 2500.

    Hope this helps,
    Dan
