On screen flash keyboard

This file doesn’t work in AS3 because it’s written in AS2 , I’am planning to make an AS3 version, but that could take a while.

When I place it in my fla it doesn’t work. It looks fine but then it breaks the other scripts happening? Any ideas?

@teddyted - Are you using AS2 and Flash CS3 ? - does it give an error message?

Hi, I’ve embedded the keyboard in my fla which is a data capture form. The form posts the input data to a php file. Using the flash keyboard does not send the data to the php, but using the hard keyboard does. Any ideas?

I think you are using the variable name of the textfield, you should use the instance name, like this:

Ah, ok. So I’ve given all the input fields instance names in the form mc: var zip = myZip.text; etc…

My submit button, on the root, has: on(press) { form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”; }

The form still sends no data to the php!

you can try to place this on your root:

submitButton.onPress = function() {
dataOut.myZip = form.myZip.text;
dataOut.myAddress = form.myAddress.text;
dataOut.send(“website.php”, “newwin”, “POST”;
}

That did it. Thanks so much. The keyboard is great!

very nice work

hi this works great!

However its weird that all the keys inside the function addSpecialKeys() doesn’t work, the rest works perfect though..any ideas?

Thanks much!

Hi there. It’s great work! I’m looking for a virtual keyboard that I can type Korean. Pls let me know if I can type Korean with your work??

Hi, Great Kayboard. However I appear to be having the same problem as courtneylee333. standard keyboard works fine, onscreen keyboard not!

I have the following textfields at the root firstName [instance name not variable], lastName, company.

beneath the form is a simple send button that takes the input and sends to a php file.

on (release) { Submit = “Yes”; NumHigh = 30; NumLow = 0;

_root.Status = "Processing..   Loading New... ";
loadVariablesNum ("http://www.james.com/add.php", 0, "POST");

_root.Status = "Your entry has been submitted.";

however the keyboard data will not send to the file. Could you advise me what i am missing? its bound to be something simple. thanks! http://activeden.net/images/smileys/grin.png

a fair point of course! tried it but it didn’t seem to like me. perhaps the lateness of my life was in the way and i was tired – same old story we’ve heard time and time again!

anyway. i shall struggle further [due to admitting deprecation] and report back. thanks for the response. lets see what i can do.

Very useful, especially for a kiosk environment.

I do have one thing I cannot get figured out… I am simply trying to limit the max character input for a field. Setting this in the field’s max character property works, but it seems to disable the “backspace” button when the max number is reached. Any help would be much appreciated. This is for the AS2 version.

Thanks, Chris

Hello again,

I am still waiting to hear back from you. I know I just recently wrote the question, but I am on a deadline and can’t seem to get the fields to limit the input to a certain amount of characters, without disabling the “backspace” button.

You help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

just wondering, would it be possible for this keyboard to trigger a HTML textfield?

Hi, i wanna buy this item, but i would like to know if its possible to add acentuation like : Á é í ó ú ç ã.....
