Dynamic Text Box Help

[actoinscript_noob]

Hi,

As my username suggests i am a total actionscript noob and while im sure i could find answers to my questions somewhere on google it would be better to get involved in a forum.


I have a selection of numbers on screen in normal text boxes, when one is clicked i need the number in that text box to appear in an empty dynamic text box but i have no idea how to do that. Any help would be awesome.

There you go

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var TEXT_WIDTH :Number = 30;
var TEXT_COUNT :Number = 3;

//The clicked text fields text coems here
var target:TextField = new TextField();
target.name = "target";
target.text = "target";
target.x = (TEXT_COUNT+1)*TEXT_WIDTH;
stage.addChild(target);

//create text fields
for(var i=0; i<TEXT_COUNT ; i ++){
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.name = "txtFld"+i;
tf.text = i;
tf.x = i * 30 + 10;
tf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,handleTextCli ck,false,0,true);
tf.width = TEXT_WIDTH;
stage.addChild(tf);
}

//if say 3 text fields tf1 , tf2 , tf3 exist on stage just reference it by name instead of creating dynamically :P



//click click click away
function handleTextClick(e:MouseEvent){

target.text = (e.target as TextField).text;
}

Why is it that complicated?

Can't you just make a function that says when one text box is clicked, make the other text in the dynamic text box the same.

Like i said if you have the textfields on the stage already and not dynamically adding it use something like

tf1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,handleTextCl ick,false,0,true);
tf2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,handleTextCl ick,false,0,true);
tf3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,handleTextCl ick,false,0,true);
//click click click away
function handleTextClick(e:MouseEvent){

target.text = (e.target as TextField).text;
}

That should work
