Can Anyone Help Me?

[izzy44]

I have this project that I am working on and desperately needing to complete. I am new to flash and I don't know how to make the action work.

What I need to happen is when I click on a designated button, a specified character will show up in an input text field. I know it sounds simple but I don't have the slightest clue how to begin. If anyone has any ideas or solutions it would be greatly appreciated.

Make an input text field. Make sure you put an instance name on it (for purpose of this example lets call it textBox). Then in the var field enter a name for the variable which will hold your text (lets call it text).

make a button and then place this code on the button (you can change it later):

on (release) {
textBox.text = "t";
}


This will display the letter 't' in the input text box once you click the button.

:cool:

Thank you very much for your reply. Your solution worked perfectly except for one thing. In the text field, I want to make it so that more than one character can appear in it.

For example, if I were to click on the "a" button and then the "b" button, the text field would show "a" and then "b". I want it to show "ab". Again your help is very much appreciated.

All you do is change the operator to add and reassign which would be this code on each button:

on (release) {
textBox.text += "t";
}

Just change the '=' to '+='
