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:

var myTextValue = myTextfieldInstance.text;

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:

var dataOut:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

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

What do you mean with “doesn’t work”? In combination with your own *.fla file you mean?

Hey thanks for the quick reply!

Sorry for not stating clear enough; I first exported your file as “keyboard.swf”. After which in my fla, I loaded it inside a movieclip named “box” like this:

box.createEmptyMovieClip(“keys”,box.getNextHighestDepth()); box.keys.loadMovie(“keyboard.swf”);

There’s a text field in this movieclip (box), and I can use your keyboard without any problems, except the special keys like “Backspace”, “Delete” etc. They just don’t respond when I click on them.

Appreciate your help in this matter!

OMG just realised why and it’s a stupid mistake of mine!

Its because I exported my fla in Flash Player 8…just changed to version 9 and everything works perfect =.=

And to think that I spent 2 days trying to debug sigh

Nevertheless, thanks for the prompt replies!

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

The loadVariablesNum function is really old and hard to work with, Why don’t u use the code I mentioned earlier:
var dataOut:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

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

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

Hello Chris,

I’m not reading the comments everyday, but here is my answer on your question:

change the ‘if statement’ on line 293:
if (t < currentTF.maxChars || currentTF.maxChars == null) {
into this:
if (t < currentTF.maxChars || currentTF.maxChars == null || iA < 0) {

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

A Flash ‘htmlText’ textfield is possible if it is inside your Flash movie, if it is a real html textfield (outside your swf) its not possible.

Yes you can, but you have to replace them with some others keys. You can change the number keys on the top row to keys with the special characters. Don’t forget to embed the special characters in the texfield.
