Hello,
I'm trying to restrict text input into a field so that you can only
enter as much as will fit into the field and the rest gets cut off.
I was using code like
textBox.onChanged = function() {
while (this.maxscroll>1) {
this.text = this.text.substr(0,-1);
}
}
This works fine as long as its just plain text. However I need to use
html text so that the user can apply formatting.
If I try using
textBox.onChanged = function() {
while (this.maxscroll>1) {
this.htmlText = this.htmlText.substr(0,-1);
}
}
then Flash goes into an infinite loop. I did some debugging and it
looks like the value of maxscroll isn't the same for htmlText and so
removing the last character doesn't reduce maxscroll in the same way,
Anyone any cunning solutions or thoughts? I'm using Flash 8.
Cheers
Joe
