Dynamic textbox

[Diederik]

Flash MX question:
Is it possible to insert a variable inside a dynamic textbox with scrollbar?

Like this:
Your name is [var: _root.name]??


thx,
Diederik

Sure:

myTextField.text = "Your name is " + _root.name;

Thanks. This was almost what I was looking for.
There is a lot of text in the textfield already. Since I had to add
something extra at the end I had to fix it like this:

myTextField.text = myTextField.text + "Your name is " + _root.name;

Is there a way to add something in the middle?

You mean somewhere in the middle of already existing text?

That's right.
I tried this to put it at the end:

myTextField.text = myTextField + "Your name is " + _root.name;

But now I'm not able to use bold, italic or colored text.

Possible, but not easy. Use any of the String methods to find the substring
after which (or before which) you want to insert text. The problem obviously
is, when you have that substring multiple times in your text. As for the
bold and Italic part: if yo HTML-enable your text, and use
textfield.htmlText = "<b>bold</b>" then bold will be displayed bold; <i> for
italics.

In addition; if you let the user decide where to insert text, you might be
interested in the Selection class.

I am creating a number of textboxes dynamically(depending upon the user
input) and am unable to retrieve that data to store in the DB. When I click
the submit button, the code is unable to find the dynamic textbox by that
name. I am creating the textboxes using a method that gets called after the
user input. Please advise.

I am creating the textboxes using the code below:
private void changeWeight()
{
for( int i=1;i<=int.Parse(txtNum.Text); i++)
{
TextBox txtWt = new TextBox();
txtWt.ID = "txtPWeight"+i.ToString();
Response.Write(txtWt.ID+"<br>");

phWeight.Controls.Add(txtWt);
phWeight.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td></tr><tr><td>"));
}
}

To retrieve data:
private string EnterPositivePlateInfo(int CellNo, int PlateNo)
{
string boxName = "txtPWeight" + PlateNo.ToString();
TextBox tb= phWeight.FindControl(boxName) as TextBox;

if( tb !=null);
else
Response.Write("Does not work "+boxName+"<br>");
return somestring; //returns sql insert statement
}

I found the solution on one of the other threads (Answer by: William F.
Robertson, Jr.). The trick was to use:
string s = Request.Form["txtPWeight" + PlateNo.ToString()];
It saved the textbox value in variable s.
