getting input box to work

my file is here:

i can get the clock working ok, but if u test it you will see that i cannot properly input the year in my input box, any ideas?

why do you need to duplicate frame1 in frame2?

if i'm not wrong :p they are the same. i delete whatever on the second frame and that should solve your problem.

btw: nice job man! :)

because the clock needs a gotoandplay 1 on frame 2 for it to work

[toke]

alright.. my bad. :)

the problem might come from using Selection.setFocus();

check this maybe it can help solving the setFocus issue

not really, but thanks for the suggestion.

or.. if you don't mind having the text box blink, you can disable the selection.setFocus().

or if you wanna keep it (won't blink the first time though, users have to click on the field first), try selection.setFocus(yearsth.lenght);

if i try commenting it out or using Selection.setFocus(yearText.length); i cant input anything in at all, is it different for you?

[toke]

yes.. i guess it because i removes all the keyframes from the second frame. only leave one in action layer though so the clock can work properly.

[toke]
