Hello!

I am creating a simple Flash menu with input text fields. I set all input parameters in UI node "UI:Display:Config", but still my text field input only catches Enter, backspace, del, tab, but not letter or number keys. I've tried everything, even made a key listener, and it proved me that Scaleform inside engine somehow doesn't let me catch an input.

Somehow, inside a main menu, when connecting to server, text fields are working properly.

P.S. Outside the engine, in flash player, everything works fine.

Please, somebody, help.

Please allow 24 hours before bumping your own thread.

Did you allowed a keyevents in uielement? Also did u embedded a font in your text input field?

There is some additional thing you have to do in actionscript: on textfiled selection you have to explicit call in your AS:

Selection.setFocus(_root.path.to.your.textfiledMC);

e.g. in your onRollOver function

Cheers

thx

I have a flowgraph that calls a function in AS, which makes my text input visible and sets focus to the text field. Everything else in the function works but the snippet above does not. I still have to manually click my text input field to get it to start retrieving input. Any ideas?

Do i set focus to the movieclip holding my textinput, or to the textinput itself.

Use the textfield Movie Clip as described in Paul's post.

Also make sure you check in Launcher and Editor, ive seen it before that text doesnt show up in the editor but it does in the launcher.
