Variables and text input events

Hello

I am not new to Flash or AS3 but I never really did anything too complex. I made a Flash game and get to know the Variables for the first time. Online tutorials confuse me because they are mostly oriented AS2 and I bought this book (which is awesome) Game Design with Flash, but it only covers variables involving numbers and a guessing game.

All I want right now is a field to enter your name and below, whatever the user has entered, will be displayed in a dynamic text field that will go, ' Oh, if your name is (whatever)? I understand that the information that the user types into the input text field must be entered in some way, so I have to make a function to make it work with a button? For now, I can type in the entry, but nothing appears in the dynamic text field.

I borrowed an AS3 example elsewhere on this forum and add my own Instance names. I also wanted to know, how can I call the name of the user during the game? Follow this same variable upward?

Here's what I have:

Stop();

var myName:String;

myName = userName.text;

confirm_txt. Text = "so your name is ' + MyName;

I get no errors, but the dynamic text box does not appear as I type... How can I go on "seizure" the name while it appears and I can call anytime during the game?

Thank you in advance for any help offered!

"inputField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT; > Assignment Variable function name? »

No, this says that this text field can accept keyboard entries.

"function onInput(e:TextEvent):void".
{
outputField.text = "You entered" + inputField.text;
} > You made the feature so that it works on the input box? Not the output? But the text comes out on the output? »

This function is called when the TextEvent ENTRY is distributed by inputText TextField.

addChild is a method that adds objects to display the object and makes them visible.

If you replace the variables created dynamically by TextField you place on the scene manually - things will work the same. Just give them the same names as in the code and specify the text field where the user types is an input field.

Feels like you will benefit greatly from reading about the basics of AS3 and Flash.

  • Text input and track

    Hello

    I'm doing a mathematical equation in as2 to Flash. I want him out when someone enter a number in the text entry box and presses the button, he adds this number with another number set (5).

    This is the code I have for the scene.

    var number2:Number = 5;

    var number1:Number = parseInt (text_txt.text);

    button_btn.onRelease = function()

    {

    trace (number1 + number2);

    };

    button_btn is the instance name button I press.

    text_txt is the name of the instance for the text entry

    In the out of the box just says NaN (not a number). It does not matter what number I set the text box.

    When I pass the parseInt (text_txt.text) with a number it works perfectly fine, but in this way it does not use the input text area

    Note that I'm still a noob to Flash. I know very little coding.

    Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

    When you set the text value to the variable, you need on any value, the text has at this time.  It do not keep track of this variable and up to date for a change.

    Move the assignment of a value of Number1 within the function of the button...

  • Is there a way I can change text entry in Apple TV like it's pathetic. The former arrangement was much better and we now have to scroll back to the text input as identification of email in every app feels like the stone age technology.

    Use the remote app. Or wait for the future update which allows for voice text input, Bluetooth, keyboards etc.  You can always send feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • variable and as3 question text

    Hello

    I have three vars:

    var textMessage1 = "Text 1";

    var textMessage2 = "Text 2";

    var textMessage3 = "Text 3";

    I have an another var that increases it's the value by one whenever I run across a particular setting:

    nextText = 1;

    I have a text box - textBox - I want to display 'Text 1' if nextText = 1, or "text 2" If nextText = 2. "

    I can't get the TextBox to display what I want (it is formatted and everything has been set up to properly, of type textBox.text = "blah", shows "blah".)

    This is incorrect, but how do I display - textBox.text = [text + nextText];  ?

    I tried textBox.text = ['text' + nextText]]; but I'm told there is no such variable as text message, it's true.

    I tried different versions of the above, but I don't have this right - of ideas how to?

    Thank you

    use:

    var tl:MovieClip =;

    var textMessage1 = "Text 1";

  • Free trial version - click on the boxes and text, shaded boxes options input

    To help determine if we will buy Captivate I create some projects using the 30 day free trial s/w.

    I want to see how it's easy to build a complete simulation of the software in mode "let-me-try." Before you create the simulation, I think I should first set up my preferences: via Edition > Preferences > turn on 'Click boxes' and 'text entry areas ".

    However, click "boxes &"Text entry areas"are dimmed (grayed out).

    The 'Help' function did not work either in this free trial 30 days, so I do not get the help popup screens!

    My questions are:

    (1) if I could turn on the 'click boxes' & 'Text areas' before creating the simulation, would this setting take effect for each slide?

    (2) does anyone know if I can activate the 'click boxes' & "Text entry areas" on the 30 day trial s/w?

    Thank you.

    Think you misunderstand these preferences. When you perform a capture of the software, you have the choice to mark different options: demonstration, training and assessment. You can even choose to have all the which will create 3 different files.

    In preferences, registration, Modes, you will see the default setting for each of these modes and you can tweak that as well. A custom mode is also possible. This configuration will decide what happens when you choose a Capture mode: an example adds the mouse will happen only in demo mode, not in training and assessment.

    During the capture, if you keep the default settings, the CP will pass to FMR (full motion recording) for sliding movement & and mouse. With Captivate 6, if you want more quality for these 'video' slides, you register them better with the new video mode, but then you will need to insert the gliding record yourself (Insert menu).  Another tip: try in the recording settings replace the default text (bitmap) shaped captions smart (activate Demo Mode), they are much more editable (and vector base).

  • Question of variables and file download.

    Hello

    I have a uploader of file in AS3 and can successfully save a file using php.

    I would also like to send variables with the file, php to process variables and display in Flash.

    Separated, I was able to include flash-flash-php variables in a project, but I can't work on how to do this while also downloading a file.  I get a null reference error in the completeHandler function when flash tries to display the reactive power coming back from php.

    Here is my AS3:

    create a file from a string of text, it records, the bed, then download:

    var newFile:File;

    newFile = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath ("my.xml");
    var stream: FileStream = new FileStream();
    Stream.Open (newFile, FileMode.WRITE);
    stream.writeMultiByte (str, "utf - 8")
    Stream.Close ();
    stream.openAsync (newFile, FileMode.READ);

    stream.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, uploadFile);

    function uploadFile(evt:Event):void {}

    var URLrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.mysite.com.au/uploader_script.php");
    var variables: URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    variables.todayDate = new Date();
    variables. Name = "Dude."
    variables. Email = "[email protected]"; ""
    variables.saveThisXML = "test record this";
    variables.passwordString = 'parse ';
    URLrequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    URLrequest.data = variable;

    newFile.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    newFile.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
    newFile.upload (URLrequest);

    }

    function completeHandler(evt:Event):void {}

    var phpVar1 = evt.target.data.var1;
    var phpVar2 = evt.target.data.var2;

    result1_txt. Text = phpVar1;
    result2_txt. Text = phpVar2;

    uploaderMC.status_txt.text = newFile.name + 'has been uploaded.';

    }

    My PHP:

    <? PHP

    $Name = $_POST ['name'];
    $filename = $_FILES ['Filedata'] ['name'];
    $filetmpname = $_FILES ['Filedata'] ['tmp_name'];

    $uname = $_POST ['email'];

    Print two vars back-Flash, you can also use 'echo' instead of printing
    print ' var1 = the domain name with a variable of $uname was sent to PHP and is back.';
    print '& var2 = $uname is also defined in the variable 2 php.';

    File on the server:
    move_uploaded_file ($_FILES ['Filedata'] ['tmp_name'], $filename);

    ? >

    It works fine download, but falls into the AS3 to var phpVar1 = evt.target.data.var1;

    Is there an obvious reason that I'm missing?

    Thanks for your time.

    Shaun

    Add your variables in your URLs and use $_GET in your php file to analyze the variables:

    create a file from a string of text, it records, the bed, then download:

    var newFile:File;

    newFile = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath ("my.xml");
    var stream: FileStream = new FileStream();
    Stream.Open (newFile, FileMode.WRITE);
    stream.writeMultiByte (str, "utf - 8")
    Stream.Close ();
    stream.openAsync (newFile, FileMode.READ);

    stream.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, uploadFile);

    function uploadFile(evt:Event):void {}

    var URLrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.mysite.com.au/uploader_script.php?var1=" + all + "& var2 =" + whateverelse);
    var variables: URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    variables.todayDate = new Date();
    variables. Name = "Dude."
    variables. Email = "[email protected]";
    variables.saveThisXML = "test record this";
    variables.passwordString = 'parse ';
    URLrequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    URLrequest.data = variable;

    newFile.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    newFile.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
    newFile.upload (URLrequest);

    }

    function completeHandler(evt:Event):void {}
           
    var phpVar1 = evt.target.data.var1;
    var phpVar2 = evt.target.data.var2;
       
    result1_txt. Text = phpVar1;
    result2_txt. Text = phpVar2;
     
    uploaderMC.status_txt.text = newFile.name + 'has been uploaded.';

    }

    My PHP:

    <>


    $var1 = $_GET ['var1'];

    $var2 = $_GET ['var2'];

    $Name = $_POST ['name'];
    $filename = $_FILES ['Filedata'] ['name'];
    $filetmpname = $_FILES ['Filedata'] ['tmp_name'];

    $uname = $_POST ['email'];

    Print two vars back-Flash, you can also use 'echo' instead of printing
    print ' var1 = the domain name with a variable of $uname was sent to PHP and is back.';
    print '& var2 = $uname is also defined in the variable 2 php.';

  • Difficulty of text input

    Whenever I'm in an area of text input in Firefox mobile, it is extremely difficult to get the text that is entered correctly. Firefox "stutters", hesitating before accepting most of the characters and will usually insert a space between each of them and never only one of them as well. This forces me to go back through the entrance once I have completed and delete all added spaces. I also invariably have to retype all the 'i's, because Firefox has converted to capital I's, seeing them as independent. It is a constant problem with Firefox endless. It never goes away.

    In addition, Firefox often randomly will close the window keyboard and suddenly will return to the main screen, sometimes taking on itself to press < return > keyboard in the process, usually having a bad entrance result and forcing me to laboriously start all over again.

    I love Firefox on my desktop and would gladly use it on my mobile as well, but right now, the only time wherever I ever use Firefox mobile is when I make a large download, because it manages downloads better than the default Android browser. For all other uses, it is simply too awkward, with the fiasco of text entry and done a very unpleasant experience.

    We have the best compatibility with the current keyboard. Swype or Swiftkey or similar keyboards may cause problems. You can switch quickly tapping long on an input in Firefox field and choosing "select input method.

    We have better support of 3rd keyboard part. This work must be carried out in March or April of the year.

  • How the names of variables and units used in the binary output file

    My colleague will give me LabView generated from the binary files (*.dat). There are more than 60 variables (columns) in the binary output file. I need to know the names of variables and units, which I think he has already configured in LabView. Is there a way for him to produce a file that contains the name of the variable and unity, so that I'll know what contains the binary file? It can create an equivalent ASCII file with a header indicating the name of the variable, but it does not list the units of each variable.

    As you can tell I'm not a user of LabView, so I apologize if this question makes no sense.

    Hi KE,.

    an ASCII (probably the csv format) file is just text - and contains all data (intentially) written to. There is no special function to include units or whatever!

    Your colleague must save the information it records the names and values in the same way...

    (When writing to text files, it could use WriteTextFile, FormatIntoFile, WriteToSpreadsheetFile, WriteBinaryFile even could serve...)

  • With a variable number of input ports on a Subvi

    How can I have a Subvi with a variable number of input ports that can be changed in the other VI that uses the Subvi?

    You can't actually do what you trying to do, how LabVIEW is implemented does not screw created by the user with arbitrary entries.  And to be honest, there is probably a better way to do whatever it is you want to do.

    If you really really want to do that, but... you can come kind of close.

    1. create a new VI

    2. change its connector to the one with the inputs and outputs pane more possible (terminals 8-6-6-8, 28)

    3 create controls/indicators for any desired input/output of not scaling can connect the (i.e. the error in / error, son of reference, etc.)

    4. hang them until the connector pane

    5 count how many entries are left and create a control for each entry and their son all

    6 drop your VI on the block diagram of the VI one another as a Subvi

    7. Note that when you mouseover, it looks like a Pincushion

    8. right click the VI and uncheck the "display as icon".

    9. you can now "slide down" at the bottom of the VI

    The terminals in the section "slide down" are as a package by name or node property that you can click on them to reallocate them to what it is not already selected.  The default is to make all the entries in alphabetical order, then all the outputs in alphabetical order.  If you rename the terminals that allows you to make appear in the order that you prefer is up to you.

    As all terminals, for the best that you can do to detect if they are wired is to define a default value that should never be used.  If she is floating points, you can use 'NaN' or 'Inf '.  If this is a cluster that you did, add an item more boolean which is true in the default values for this entry VI.

    Then just wire up all the identical terminals together in a table, filter the items which appear to be unwired and make all your treatment on the rest.

  • The text of menus, messages and texts of dialog have been damaged in many of my programs.

    The text of menus, messages and texts of dialog have been damaged in many of my programs.  He seems to have taken place after the last update patch this last week.  I don't see in place and place menu commands, dialog texts, status messages are series of rectangles as a square off the coast of character "O".  Some of these programs include MS Office Applications, Adobe Reader, Norton AV.  It does not affect Internet Explorer.  Anyone know what this problem is?

    Have you run a registry cleaner program so-called?  If so, it is probably the cause of the problem.  If this is not the case, here are some things you can check.

    Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.
