Using ActionScript in Flash forms
ActionScript 2.0 is a powerful scripting language that is used in Flash and other related products and is like JavaScript.
You can use a subset of ActionScript 2.0 code in your Flash forms.
Information on how to include ActionScript in your Flash forms, and restrictions and additions to ActionScript that
apply to ColdFusion Flash forms are described here. However, information on writing ActionScript is not provided.
For details on ActionScript and how you can use it, see the Flash ActionScript 2.0 documentation, including the
documents available in the Flash and Flex sections of LiveDocs at www.adobe.com/go/learn_cfu_docs_en.
Using ActionScript code in CFML
You can use ActionScript in the following attribute of tags in CFML Flash format forms:
• Form and control events, such as the
attributes of the
cfinput
event attributes.
• Bind expressions, which you can use to set field values. For more information on binding data, see
in Flash
forms" on page 776.
Your ActionScript code can be inline in the form attribute specification, you can make a call to a custom function
that you define, or you can use the ActionScript
ActionScript from a .as file.
The following example shows a simple Fahrenheit to Celsius converter that does the conversion directly on the
client, without requiring the user to submit a form to the ColdFusion server.
<cfform format="flash" width="200" height="150">
<cfinput type="text" name="fahrenheit" label="Fahrenheit" width="100"
value="68">
<cfinput type="text" name="celsius" label="Celsius" width="100">
<cfinput type="button" name="convert" value="Convert" width="100"
onClick="celsius.text = Math.round((farenheit.text-32)/1.8*10)/10">
