TextInput box validation help

[hts5000]

I have this form and I need to validate that each TextInput box has data in it and I am having issues with a certain part. There is a section where TextInput boxes are dynamically added into a ScrollPane. There can be anywhere from 1 box to 9999 TextInput boxes. I can validate that these TextInput boxes have no information in them separately however I cannot seem to validate that all the boxes as a whole do not have information in them. For example if there are 3 TextInput boxes and only 2 have info in them I need to know that.

I am trying to do two things here, if the box is empty I need to change the TextInput box background to yellow (this I can do no problem) and if all the boxes have info in them then I will let the user progress to a different part of the form.

This is the code that I am using so far. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

if (spProdGroup.getValue() == 1 && quesGroup.getValue() == 1) {
    for (r=1; r<Number(qIDAmount.text)+1; r++) {
        if (qIDAmount.text != "") {
            qIDAmount.setStyle("backgroundColor","0xFFFF33");
        }
        if (sPane.spContentHolder["qId"+r].qestionID.text == "") {
            //This part works just fine
            sPane.spContentHolder["qId"+r].qestionID.setStyle("backgroundColor","0xFFFF33");
            val._visible = true;
        }
        if (qIDAmount.text != "" && sPane.spContentHolder["qId"+r].qestionID.text != "") {
            //This part does not
            trace("All boxes have data");
        }
    }
}

hi,

Here's the logic you'll have to use:

var allBoxesHaveData:Boolean = true;
if (spProdGroup.getValue () == 1 && quesGroup.getValue () == 1)
{
    for (r = 1; r < Number (qIDAmount.text) + 1; r++)
    {
        if (qIDAmount.text != "")
        {
            qIDAmount.setStyle ("backgroundColor","0xFFFF33");
        }
        if (sPane.spContentHolder["qId" + r].qestionID.text == "")
        {
            //This part works just fine
            sPane.spContentHolder["qId" + r].qestionID.setStyle ("backgroundColor","0xFFFF33");
            val._visible = true;
        }
        else
        {
            // there is at least a box which doesn't have data
            allBoxesHaveData = false;
        }
    }
    
    if (allBoxesHaveData)
    {
        trace("all boxes have data");
    }
    else
    {
        trace("there is at least a box which doesn't have data");
    }
}

Thanks nunomira for your help, unfortunately the code did not work. I think it has more to do with the for loop and how long it takes to process. Is there any way to detect the process of a for loop and only execute code when it is done?

nunomira, I apologize. I didn’t see that you check statement was outside of the for loop. Once I took it out of the for loop it worked just fine. Thanks for your help.

That's cool!
