[AS2] TextInput component

[Alexaz]

How do i get the value of TextField?
I tried testfield.text but it didn't return anything.

Howdy and Welcome... :)

If you assign an instance name to the TextField, you can access the value by doing this...
textFieldInstanceName.text
Btw, textField is not an component...

Well i did it before just like you said. And TextInput is in COMPONENTS->UI menu, so i think thats component.
EDIT: Fixed it my self :)

Then you should have said TextInput not TextField... ;)

It'd be nice to share what you have used to help others having the same problem...

for getting the text fields value or string, I would use:

TextFieldInstanceName.toString();

or


TextFieldInstanceName.valueOf();

Not sure if that is what you were wanting or not. If not, provide more info.
