Keeping the same stuff in a textfield when going from frame 1 to frame2

Jul 10, 2012 8:16 PM

Hello

 

I have just finished a virtual keyboard, but there is one problem. When I write the small letters, and click a button to take me to frame 2 to write the big letters, the small letters disappear giving way to the big letters. How can I keep what I wrote in the frame 1 ?

    keep the same textfield in frame 2 as frame 1.  or, if that isn't what you want, assign a variable's value to be the text property of your frame 1 textfield.  then use that variable in frame 2 to assign the text property to your frame 2 textfield.

    Hi Kglad

     

    http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/m340201/test/completed%20keybord.html

     

     

    Thank for your answer. I kept the same name for the textfield, and I  copied the stuff from frame 1 and pasted it to frame 2.

    Here the script for frame one

     

    capitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aButtonClickListener28aB);

    function aButtonClickListener28aB(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    gotoAndStop(2);

     

    }

     

    And here the script for  frame two:

     

    capitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aButtonClickListener28aBc);

    function aButtonClickListener28aBc(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    gotoAndStop(1);

    }

    looking at the link you posted, it appears you should not change frames. 

     

    use:

     

     

    var upperCase:Boolean;

     

    capitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aButtonClickListener28aB);

    function aButtonClickListener28aB(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    upperCase=!upperCase;

    }

     

    // you should already have something like this:

    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keydownF);

    function keydownF(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
    if(upperCase){
    // the code from your frame 2 listener function
    } else {
    // the code from your frame 1 listener function
    }
    }

    Sorry for the delay. I am not that smart. I just used the following for all the letters in frame 1 :

     

    qButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aButtonClickListener);

    function aButtonClickListener(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    inputTxt.appendText("q");

    }

     

    and so on for all the letters..... I have been 'appending' all the way to "m". ;-)

     

    And the following for uppercase for frame 2

     

    QButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aButtonClickListener1);

    function aButtonClickListener1(e:MouseEvent):void

    {

    inputTxt.appendText("Q");

    }

     

    and so on for all the letters..... I know it's very poor programming. I am going to just use only lowercase letters. Tough luck for my readers.

    } else {

    inputTxt.appendText("q");

    }

     

    and so on for all the letters.....

    Well, let me say this, and please do not take it the wrong way.

    If I had to chose a new brother, I would have chosen someone like you.

    If I had to chose a friend, it has to be like you.

    If I had to chose a neighbor, It has to be like you.

    If I had to chose my professor, it has to be like you.

    If I had to chose my doctor, it has to be like you.

     

    Anyway, to be brief, you made my day. Thank you.
