[Xerte] Caputuring / Storing Data From Text Fields

[Tenney Julian]

You can also use that to set any other properties you want for a Flash
textField. I find myself doing that to set things like border,
borderColor, background, backgroundColour, restrict, textFormat,
newTextFormat etc etc. Look up the textfield properties in the lfash
online documentation (for mx2004 / Flash 8) There are so many ways you
want a text entry box to appear its best to script it.
 
Add the textEntry to the interaction as usual, then set the interaction
perpetual property to 1. Add a script underneath the interaction where
you do this stuff,
 
cheers,

	give the response an rs property, give it a value like
myTextField

	 

	then get the text using myTextField.text

	 

	Why rs and not id? Because with a response there are two
'things' in action: the response itself, usually a movieclip or button
and the page of content that is presented when the response is matched.
The id refers to the page, just as it does for any other page type. I
needed a name for the property of the control and came up with rs for
'response'.

		Hi all, 

		 

		Can anybody tell me how to access the data that has been
entered into a text field by a user? 

		 

		Is this stored in specifically in a set variable (if so
where) or do I need to declare the variable that will capture the data
myself (if so how!)?

		 

		Thanks in advance...
