Telltarget when a text input is used
Hey,
OK - here's my problem. I have a text input box, which when the user clicks on (i.e. to enter text, so that the cursor appears), needs to telltarget another clip to play. how can i do this in Flash MX? i've tried invisible buttons, tell target with onclick using the text input, but absolutely nothing is working
Please help!! grrr
thanx

First, you've got to think about stopping using tellTarget as its deprecated
it probably won't be supported in the nexy version of Flash.
On to your problem-
Create a new movieclip that is totally empty and drag an instance of it from the library somewhere onto the stage- Now attach this code to the movieclip instance (NB- not in it, on it).
Code:onClipEvent(load){ Selection= path_and_name_of_your_text_field_goes_here; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Selection.getFocus()!= null){ path_and_name_of_movie_clip_goes_here.gotoAndPlay("desired_frame_label_goes_here"); }
