text input event handler - on click...

julie p · 11-04-2009, 01:10 AM

Hey there -

Is there an event that is dispatched when a text input gets clicked (i.e. to add text), but not after text has been added, simply when it is clicked? It won't have changed, and text won't have been entered... Thanks!

Something like this (fill in the blank):

Code:

date_txt.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, showCalendar);
[or]
date_txt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showCalendar);

neither of these work, obviously... thanks!

If you are talking about the TextField class, look in the docs

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/...l#eventSummary

Take your pick of the myriad of events (Note most events are inherited) so you'll need to click on "Show Inherited Events" to see them all
