VIRTUAL KEYBOARD SpaceKey not autosizing

Report · Feb 19, 2013

Hello, So my space button wont autosize on the virtual keyboard. It creates the blank space but doesnt autosize to it, after inputing any other key it autosizes correctly. Could use an extra set of eyes to see what im doing wrong

Ill post any relevant code down here

//spaces;

key_space.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spaceClickListener);

function spaceClickListener(e:MouseEvent):void

{

if (control == "on" && menu.visible == false )

{

strehrows3();

textSelect.appendText(" ");

shift = false;

//border control;

if (textSelect.width <= 134.05)

{

// textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;

textSelect.x = 1.2;

}

if (textSelect.width >= 134.05)

{

///textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;

textSelect.x = 1.2-(textSelect.width-134.05);

}

//inputTxt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.NONE;

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

}

focuser();

strehrows3();

_fontSize();

}

function _keys(event:MouseEvent):void

{

strehrows3();

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(event);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

if (control == "on" && menu.visible == false )

{

if (! shift)

{

textSelect.appendText(letterButtonSmall[event.target.name]);

}

else

{

textSelect.appendText(letterButtonCaps[event.target.name]);

shift = false;

}

savedTxt = textSelect.text;

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (textSelect.width <= 134.05 && textSelect == inputClips.inputTxt )

{

textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;

textSelect.x = 1.2;

}

if (textSelect.width >= 134.05 && textSelect == inputClips.inputTxt)

{

textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;

textSelect.x = 1.2-(textSelect.width-134.05);

}

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(event);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

focuser();

strehrows3();

_fontSize();

}

if the lower function is responsible for handling all the other virtual keyboard input events, and the above function that handles the keyboard event is only working as expected if the lower function triggers first, then you will have to look for the things they differ from each other.

These lines

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(event);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

are missing in the above function, so it could be something in either of these two functions ajWidth,TrWidth, that kickstarts the autoresizing.

At this point -without seeing the whole code it starts to become a wild goose chase 😉

Fair Enough Ill give it a go. Next time I'll try to make it a little eaiser on you guys with the code.

Been struggling with this, I now made the space function nearly identical to my keyboard function.

Pressing the space key doesnt autoformat the text for some reason Im having trouble understanding, it adds the space but wont show up until I enter an actual letter or number.

function _keys(event:MouseEvent):void

{

strehrows3();

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(event);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

if (control == "on" && menu.visible == false )

{

if (! shift)

{

textSelect.appendText(letterButtonSmall[event.target.name]);

}

else

{

textSelect.appendText(letterButtonCaps[event.target.name]);

shift = false;

}

savedTxt = textSelect.text;

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (textSelect.width <= 134.05 && textSelect == inputClips.inputTxt )

{

textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

textSelect.x = 1.2;

}

if (textSelect.width >= 134.05 && textSelect == inputClips.inputTxt)

{

textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

textSelect.x = 1.2-(textSelect.width-134.05);

}

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(event);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

focuser();

strehrows3();

_fontSize();

}

//spaces;

key_space.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, spaceClickListener);

function spaceClickListener(e:MouseEvent):void

{

strehrows3();

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(null);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

if (control == "on" && menu.visible == false )

{

if (! shift)

{

textSelect.appendText(" ");

}

else

{

textSelect.appendText(" ");

shift = false;

}

savedTxt = textSelect.text;

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (textSelect.width <= 134.05 && textSelect == inputClips.inputTxt )

{

textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

textSelect.x = 1.2;

}

if (textSelect.width >= 134.05 && textSelect == inputClips.inputTxt)

{

textSelect.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

textSelect.x = 1.2-(textSelect.width-134.05);

}

textSelect.setSelection(textSelect.length,textSelect.length);

if (electoff.currentFrame == 2)

{

ajWidth(null);

}

if (terminalinput.currentFrame == 2)

{

TrWidth(null);

}

focuser();

strehrows3();

_fontSize();

}
