Actionscript:
-
var story:String = "Fill in the _____.";
-
-
-
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
-
txt.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Georgia", 20);
-
txt.width = stage.stageWidth;
-
txt.multiline = true;
-
txt.wordWrap = true;
-
txt.text = story;
-
addChild(txt);
-
-
var alph:Array = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".split("");
-
var keys:Object = {};
-
for (var i:int = 0; i<alph.length; i++){
-
keys[65 + i] = alph[i];
-
}
-
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyPressed);
-
function onKeyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
-
-
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
-
story = "Fill in the _____.";
-
txt.text = story;
-
}
-
-
for (var i:int = 0; i<story.length; i++){
-
if (story.charAt(i) == "_"){
-
var head:String = story.substr(0, i);
-
var tail:String = story.substr(i + 1);
-
var letter:String = keys[evt.keyCode];
-
if (!letter) return;
-
story = head + letter + tail;
-
-
txt.text = story;
-
-
break;
-
}
-
}

}
I needed to do a fill in the blank for a personal project that I'm working on and this is what I came up with. Have a look at the swf here:
