Edit an especific string into a dynamic textbox

**angelhdz** · 09-11-2012 10:44 PM

Hello guys! Long time.

I'm creating this "Phone Contacts Numbers Saving Tool" for people who constantly losing their phone contacts numbers. I achieved making 2 dynamic textboxes "Name" "Number" so you put your name and number, then a button to "Create Contact". Then that info is saved into 2 dynamic textboxes columns, one is for Names and the other for Numbers. This is the script:

Code:

var saveState2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("cookie2");

if(saveState2.data.Names==undefined && saveState2.data.Numbers==undefined ){
	
}
else {
	Names.text =saveState2.data.Names;
Numbers.text =	saveState2.data.Numbers;
}



btn.onPress=function(){
 Names.text += name1.text 
	Numbers.text += number1.text
	
saveState2.data.Names=Names.text;
saveState2.data.Numbers=Numbers.text;
	
}

btn2.onPress=function(){
 
	
saveState2.clear();
Numbers.text=""
Names.text=""
	
}



stop();

I want to be able to "edit" or "delete" an specific contact/number from the list. Every time you click the "create contact button" it adds the name and the number with

Code:

 Names.text += name1.text 
	Numbers.text += number1.text

Ideas? Thanks

The numbers and names are automatically saved into a Shared Object, so, everytime you open the flash, it shows all your contact numbers and names. But now i need to be able to edit these numbers/names, or/and delete them.

Hi,

This might put you in the right direction.

Code:

var Named = [];
var Numbered = [];

var saveState2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("cookie2");

if (saveState2.data.Names == undefined && saveState2.data.Numbers == undefined)
{
	Names.text = "";
	Numbers.text = "";
}
else
{
	Names.text = saveState2.data.Names;
	Numbers.text = saveState2.data.Numbers;
}

btn.onPress = function()
{
	RememberStuff(name1.text,number1.text);// input text boxes
};

btn2.onPress = function()
{
	saveState2.clear();
	Names.text = "";
	Numbers.text = "";
	Named = [];
	Numbered = [];
};

function RememberStuff(A, B)
{
	Named.push(A);
	Names.text = Named;
	Numbered.push(B);
	Numbers.text = Numbered;
	saveState2.data.Names = Names.text;
	saveState2.data.Numbers = Numbers.text;
}

good luck as i'm away for a couple of days

Thanks fruitbeard, and have a great vacation/travel/whatever you going to be away for/ hehehe

Hi,

Here you go angel, you will need to mess around with it to do everything you need it to do, but try this.

Attachment 73797

its CS6 i think you use it,
you might need to clear the saved data first, but you can use the button inside it

and the code inside is

Code:

var Named = [];
var Numbered = [];
name1.restrict = "A-Za-z. ";
number1.restrict = "0-9-. ";

var saveState2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("cookie2");

if (saveState2.data.Names == undefined && saveState2.data.Numbers == undefined)
{
	Names.text = "";
	Numbers.text = "";
}
else
{
	Named = saveState2.data.Names;
	Numbered = saveState2.data.Numbers;
	Names.text = Named;
	Numbers.text = Numbered;
	MakeColumns();
}

btn.onPress = function()
{
	if (name1.text == "")
	{
		//do nothing
	}
	if (number1.text == "")
	{
		//do nothing
	}
	else
	{
		RememberStuff(name1.text,number1.text);// input text boxes
		name1.text = "";
		number1.text = "";
	}
};

btn1.onPress = function()
{
	name1.text = "";
	number1.text = "";
};

btn2.onPress = function()
{
	saveState2.clear();
	Names.text = "";
	Numbers.text = "";
	Named = [];
	Numbered = [];
};

function RememberStuff(A, B)
{
	Named.push(A);
	Numbered.push(B);
	saveState2.data.Names = Named;
	saveState2.data.Numbers = Numbered;
	MakeColumns();
}

function MakeColumns()
{
	Named = saveState2.data.Names;
	Numbered = saveState2.data.Numbers;
	Names.text = Named;
	Numbers.text = Numbered;
	var ListA = Names.text;
	var SearchA = ",";
	var ReplaceA = "\n";
	NewListA = ListA.split(SearchA);
	if (NewListA.length > 0)
	{
		Names.text = NewListA.join(ReplaceA);
	}

	var ListB = Numbers.text;
	var SearchB = ",";
	var ReplaceB = "\n";
	NewListB = ListB.split(SearchB);
	if (NewListB.length > 0)
	{
		Numbers.text = NewListB.join(ReplaceB);
	}
}

Hi.

Here it is again with remove name and number details function()

Hi,

Yet another revised edition with replace and remove functions.

you can ignore the first 2 if you so wish.

Wow fruitbeard thats great!

But now i have this mental issue. If user wants to delete a "contact", they would have to count the line of that contact in order to delete it. Suppose the contact is Richard, but theres a lot of contacts with A, B, C, D, etc, the user will have to count one, two, three, twenty, twenty one hehe.

So, i'm thinking in a way of creating the Names and the number dynamic textboxes "dynamically", so each contact is loaded in it's own textbox or an empty movieclip, and theres a "X" button to delete the desired contact. E.g if i want to delete "Richard" i simply scroll down a main scrollpane with all the generated dynamic texboxes or movieclips, and besides "Richard's" name or number, theres an "X" button, I press it and that dynamic texbox or that movieclip get removed.

Could it be possible? Thanks for the help.

**fruitbeard** · 09-12-2012 12:47 PM

Hello Angel

Here you go, not quite what you desired but it does give you line numbers to make it easier to control, plus some added functionality.
just clear the shared data first then do your business.

Attachment 73803

how do you delete attachments from your profile, it has me stumped?

**angelhdz** · 09-12-2012 01:08 PM

Thanks, that worked.

But i know you know it's much better the way I said last, if each time you press "Add details" an empty movieclip or a dynamic textbox is created one below the other forming a column, then you just "remove" that moveclip or that dynamic textbox in order to delete/remove a contact. I'm not good with creating dynaamically movieclips or textboxes and modifying it so I will have to read a lot.

By now, i will study your script to learn, and I will put the names and numbers textboxes inside a Scroll pane, so the names are aligned with the numbers always, and you only scroll down the scroll pane.

good job you're the best thanks

**fruitbeard** · 09-12-2012 01:25 PM

Hi,

here is a cleaned up version of the code from the one you have, bits removed and better coded.

copy all and overwrite original, if you so wish.

Code:

var Named = [];
var Numbered = [];
var i = 0;
Name1.restrict = "A-Za-z. ";
Number1.restrict = "0-9-. ";
Names.html = true;
Numbers.html = true;
//Number1.restrict = "0-9-.\\N\\o\\n\\e ";//allows the word "None" to be written

var saveState2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("cookie2");

if (saveState2.data.Names == undefined && saveState2.data.Numbers == undefined)
{
	Names.text = "";
	Numbers.text = "";
	HowManyLines.text = "0";
}
else
{
	Named = saveState2.data.Names;
	Numbered = saveState2.data.Numbers;
	Names.text = Named;
	Numbers.text = Numbered;
	MakeColumns();
}

btn.onPress = function()
{
	if (Name1.text == "")
	{
		//do nothing
	}
	if (Number1.text == "")
	{
		//do nothing
	}
	else
	{
		RememberStuff(Name1.text,Number1.text);
		Name1.text = "";
		Number1.text = "";
	}
};

btn1.onPress = function()
{
	Name1.text = "";
	Number1.text = "";
	Remove.text = "";
	ReplaceName.text = "";
	ReplaceNumber.text = "";
};

btn2.onPress = function()

	Named = [];
	Numbered = [];
	i = 0;
	HowMany = null;
};
btn3.onPress = function()
{
	if (Remove.text == "")
	{
		//do nothing
	}
	else
	{
		Named.splice(Remove.text - 1,1);
		Numbered.splice(Remove.text - 1,1);
		Remove.text = "";
		MakeColumns();
	}
};
btn4.onPress = function()
{
	if (ReplaceName.text == "")
	{
		//do nothing
	}
	if (Name1.text == "")
	{

		MakeColumns();
	}
};
btn5.onPress = function()

	if (ReplaceNumber.text == "")
	{

	}
	if (Number1.text == "")
	{

	}
	else
	{
		Numbered[ReplaceNumber.text - 1] = ReplaceNumber.text + " - " + Number1.text;
		ReplaceNumber.text = "";
		Names.text = "";
		Numbers.text = "";
		MakeColumns();
	}
};
function RememberStuff(A, B)
{
	Named.push([i + 1] + " - " + A);
	Numbered.push([i + 1] + " - " + B);
	saveState2.data.Names = Named;
	saveState2.data.Numbers = Numbered;
	MakeColumns();
}

function MakeColumns()
{
	HowMany = (Named.length + Numbered.length) / 2;
	HowManyLines.text = HowMany;

	Named = saveState2.data.Names;
	Names.text = Named;
	var ListA = Names.text;
	var SearchA = ",";
	var ReplaceA = "\n";
	NewListA = ListA.split(SearchA);
	Names.text = NewListA.join(ReplaceA);

	Numbered = saveState2.data.Numbers;
	Numbers.text = Numbered;
	var ListB = Numbers.text;
	var SearchB = ",";
	var ReplaceB = "\n";
	NewListB = ListB.split(SearchB);
	Numbers.text = NewListB.join(ReplaceB);

	for (i = 0; i < HowMany; i++)
	{
		Names.text = Names.text;
		Numbers.text = Numbers.text;
	}

	if (HowMany > 0)
	{
		Remove.restrict = "1-" + HowMany;
