Display Dialogue Box To Obtain User Value

Jun 20, 2012 8:05 AM

Hello

 

I want to display a dialogue box for the user to enter a value (an integer) and be able to click Cancel or OK. I can't see any way of invoking a dialogue box enabling a user to enter a value, only a message box.

 

Thanks

 

Chris

    Make your own using a movie clip. Place a text field, and buttons in the clip and then you can target them with code.

    Thanks

     

    It's amazing that every dialogue box which everyone makes has to be made from scratch! A lot of work for such a fundamental function.

     

    My flash movie is embedded in a web page. Can I make this dialogue box 'pop up' over my web page?

     

    Regards

     

    Chris

    Since most everything looks different people typically want to make their own anyway... However you can use ExternalInterface and call a JavaScript method on the page to open a JS dialog/alert.

    Good idea,

     

    Can the Javascript dialogue pass back a value?
