Setting focus to the input text area

I use MX 2004 and construction of a simple game where the contribution of users numbers in a dynamic text box. To limit the number of mouse clicks, I'm wanting to set the focus to the input box when that screen/page loads. Right now, we have to click on the area of input text field, enter their choices, then click on the submit button. I just want to type first, then click on the submit button.

I set a variable to the text box of entry as "answer_box".

I thought I remember a 'setFocus' or a 'onFocus' in ActionScript once before, but I can't find an example.

Any help would be great!
Thank you

Thanks Rothrock. It worked. The 'Sélection' class allows you to define and control the text box where the insertion point.

My text entry box is called, "years1.

In the layer actions, the first line, I put - Selection.setFocus ("years1");

Works perfectly. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

  • disappears from the input text area

    I know it must be something simple, but it's still my butt.  I put a text on a layer entry box and everything seems fine.  I play the movie, and any text box?  If I put a top filter, it will be displayed, but otherwise, it seems that there is nothing there.  Not even the border is visible.  All static text is good, just without input box.

    «.. . "just one of those days."

    Dynamic textfields get cranky for any type of animation or if a mask is applied to them.  You could try the incorporation of police and see if that makes a difference (I don't know why it would be... it is usually the text that has the problem, but then again, it's usually just dynamic text fields that raise this problem (no dynamic input textfields).)

    A popup main user selects the check boxes for a few (3) lines in the list and click on send.

    In a second window, we have a text entry area where we show "you have selected 3 elements.

    The input text is binding to the managed bean where I put the message "" you selected 3 items".

    It works very well.

    But when I close the second popup and return to the main window and select 5 check boxes and click on submit, it still shows

    No idea what that can do to show the "you have selected the 5 elements.

    My best off the cuff guess is to change attribute of default ContentDelivery of your popup to Lazy to Lazy (Uncached)

  • How to restrict the scope of the EU change when the input data are not available?

    Hi Experts,

    I have a user enter-able (EU) field in the Section. When the tag input XML contains data for this field, then the value must print in this area and it is not editable.
    If the input data are not available only that one time that the field of the EU must be editable.

    Any thoughts?

    I tried like below,

    Domain name creation: UE_CompName
    Length: 15
    Type: alphanumeric
    Rule: XDD
    Source name:! Transaction/Compname
    under PreEdit,.
    module: DALW32
    Procedure: procedure of desired
    Information: CALL ("UE_CHECK")

    like that, I've updated in the field properties.

    Content of UE_CHECK DAL below,

    CurrFieldName = Fieldname()
    CurrFieldData = @("CurrFieldName")

    IF CurrFieldData! = « »
    SetProtect ("CurrFieldName")
    END
    But it does not work... Pls help me to do this...

    I assume that the 'mapping' occurs during a batch operation (Gendata) through any rule the XDD defined for this field. In the batch, pre and Post Edit calculations do not. This feature is related to the WIP/entry. What you can do is to add a level section - PostImageDAL rule to call your script and protect your land once it was located batch of your operation.

    In FAP that contains that field, add the PostImageDAL rule in the property of the rules in the Section box. In the data box, do call your script.
    Your script is a bit wrong, it seems you were trying to get the 'current' domain name and then check the value of fields. Drop the part and simply name your field in the string in quotation marks in the @ () function and the SetProtect.

  • Height of the input text box...

    Hi all

    Is there a way to dynamically get the size of an input text throught javascript box? For example, I have an < input type = "text" id = "myBox" size = "50" >, and I would like to get the height of the text box with the id "myBox" through javascript dynamically.

    Thanks in advance!

    a text box CAN have HEIGHT and WIDTH set in style = attribute.
    If so, you can get these values with
    document.getElementById("yourid").style.height and
    document.getElementById("yourid").style.width

    However, WITHOUT setting the height and width in the style = attribute, that you can't
    get the default width/height of a textbox

  • total dynamic input text area help

    Hey people,

    I have four areas of input text that I want a user to enter numbers. I have their instance names on the text box itself, but nothing stated in his. I have a total box as a dynamic, with the name totalbox. If I wanted to have the total area to display the sum of all the numbers from input boxes, how would we go to this topic. I seem to formulas autour, just do not know how to get the numbers appears in the dynamic area. Any ideas?

    You can use an if statement to assign 0 to empty textfields and you can use the restrict property of textfields to restrict entry to the numbers

    :

    for (var i: int = 1; i<>

    This ["costbox" + i] .restrict = "0-9";

    {if (this ["costbox" + i]. (Text=="")}

    This ["costbox" + i] .text = 0;

    }

  • Setting Focus on the header of the accordion

    Hi all

    I have a form application based with 3 strips of accordion and need to navigate using the keyboard only. I can't tab on the accordion header to allow the user to press space / Enter to move to the next section.

    Anyone know how to set the focus on the accordion header using the tab key?

    Thank you very much
    Annie

    Hello

    Never found a solution about it - had move the focus to an input field with a listener. Once the hidden field received focus, the function of earphone managed the press space bar event and dispatched an event click on the header depending on accordion.

  • Problem adding images to the html text area.

    This, like a flying Executive pants down, is driving me crazy...

    Source can be downloaded where says "herehere" below (not used on this forum, seems a bit odd.)

    I have 2 text boxes on the stage, both are the "multiline" value and configured to return 'html '.
    they can also be programmed to display the contents of variables html1 and html2 respectively
    Thanks to the field "Var" in the Properties window. (if it's one thing to Actionscript 2).

    the html code that I use is a very basic < img src / > tag.
    You can use any small image file that you want to try, just change the two names of source files.
    (mine happened to be called bonkers.jpg, but gif and png seems to be the same).

    When I define "html1" directly, it works very well.
    If I set "html2" directly it works fine,
    However if I set html2 via a table, although the contents of the html1 both two html2 looks the same.
    (and all tracing code following checks it) the second html box does not work.

    It took me the better part of a day to understand that it was the process of transfer of an array
    that was the origin of the problem, but why? What does an array into a string that allows you to stop working in html?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Gas



    here here

    Thanks, that certainly seems to overcome the problem. I was beginning to think it was me :), but obviously display of the variables in a html text box can be a little bug in flash.

    I called box1 and box2 and box1.htmlText =... to change the values, it now works fine.

    Thanks a lot for this.

  • I want to accept only Arab characters in the input text

    Hello

    Is it possible to let the user just write in Arabic in the af input text?

    If he enter English tank when you use keyboard ENG that I want to prevent this event and not let him write without error msg and if it helps keyboard AR I want let write

    Thank you.

    You can implement something like this using javascript. You should prevent the addition of English characters of:

    -Keyboard

    -By using ctrl + v (in case you have copied English words)

    -Using right-click + spent (in the case where you have copied English words)

    To do this test to track the following:

    1 - inside af:inputText add 2 clientListener. One to accept only Arabic characters and the other for the deactivation of ctrl + v as:

    
              
              
    
    

    2 - Add af:resource with type = "javascript" and inside this write three functions:

    -an acceptArabic function.

    b disabledPastFunction

    c disabled right click on the page.

    as:

    
    
            = 1560 && k <= 1610) || k == 32)
        {
        }
        else
        {
          evt.cancel();
        }
      }
      ]]>
    
      function disabledPastFunction(evt)
      {
        var k=evt.getKeyCode();
        var e = window.event;
    
        if(e.ctrlKey)
        {
          if (window.event.keyCode == 86)
          {
            evt.cancel();
          }
        }
      }
    
      function dis_rightclickNS(e)

  • Setting Focus when the Page is loaded

    Apex 3.2

    Theme 15

    IE8

    I'm trying to focus on the loading of the page with javascript

    OnLoad = "$f_First_field ('P10_BMI_EXTKEY')" "

    Now users have asked for this field a dynamic default value (always 4 characters),

    for example, DEM -.

    I'll put this using one before the header is calculated.

    How can I set the focus when loading for the fifth character in my field, that is to say, after DEM -.

    Thanks in advance

    Gus

    Gus,

    It's true. SelectionRange works only when the focus is actually on the ground. Indeed, so you will first need to focus on the issue and then run the code selectionrange. Take care of property: the post SO talking about a 'problem' of synchronization, where the focus is always past before execution of the selection range. Try it, you need it. Basically, with the polyfill in place you will be able to use the code in the linked thread stackoverflow. To keep your manageable onload tag, you can move the focus + selection code in a function.
