Hello everyone,
I am making a little app for a kindergarten class. Its basically a input text box with the schools handwriting font embedded–the font shows the lines and arrows of how to make each letter. Works like a charm until you hit the space bar–it leaves a blank space–not the character for the blank line–try it out you’ll see http://www.edenpr.k12.mn.us/prview/write/pv_writer.html. The character that is the blank line is the “” key–why they did that I don’t know! So I have been trying to come up with some way for the app to recognize when the space bar is pushed and then to append the “” keys character on to the text. I created a key listener and now know when the space bar is pushed. From there I have tried to use unicode to add it to the textbox. Hasn’t worked so far. Heres my code [such as it is]:
Selection.setFocus(root.myTextBox);
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
//If the user hits the spacebar, enter an underline character
if ((Key.getCode() == Key.SPACE)) {
root.myTextBox.text += “\u005c”;
trace(“space added”)
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
Any thoughts or ideas about how I should go about it?
Thanks,
