textfield help!

[izzy44]

Right now I have 3 seperate textfields... test1, test2, and test3.

I need for the fourth textfield, test4 to show test1, test2, and test3 seperated by commas and to automatically update when any one of them changes.

I have tried using the addListener and onChanged methods and they didnt seem to work for me but I may have done them wrong. PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks,
Izzy

Total shot in the dark here, but couldn't you have an on(EnterFrame) event that simply joins together the three text fields in to the fourth?

Something like:

on(EnterFrame){
_root.test4.text=_root.test1.text+","+_root.test2.text+","+_root.test3.text
}


I haven't tried this, but it should work. The on(EnterFrame) would give the appearane of the 4 text field being updated as soon as anything changes in any of the 3 other fields

I think this should work for you.

test1.onChanged = function() {
displayOutput();
}

test2.onChanged = function() {
displayOutput();
}

test3.onChanged = function() {
displayOutput();
}

function displayOutput() {
test4.text = test1.text + ", " + test2.text + ", " + test3.text;
}
