I am working in AS2. I have an input text field I am using with an AS2 flipbook
component so users can type a page number then go to that page in the flipbook.
I want to make it so when the text field is clicked, any existing text is
removed and focus set so the user is then ready to type a page number (then
click a 'GO' button to go to that page). Flash won't let me apply code to the
text field, so I thought I could code it so if that area of the stage is
clicked it will do what I want. This is really basic coding with no classes,
external scripts, etc.; so if anybody has a really basic solution I would be
extremely grateful. This should be the sort of thing people use all the time
(an input text field that is cleared when clicked), so I assume I am not the
first to try and do this.
I thought the following might work, but Flash tells me, "The class or interface
'MouseEvent' could not be loaded." So maybe I have left something out, or I am
mixing up my AS2 with AS3, or I am just approaching this all wrong.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, blankText);
function blankText(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (mouseX >= 370) {
if (mouseX <= 430) {
If (mouseY >= 50) {
if (mouseY <= 72) {
enterPage.text = "";
}
}
}
}
}
