This could be a depth and naming problem. U should use
mc.getNextHighestDepth() to determine the depth. And u also need to make
sure the instance name if unique for this component. Other thing is that
createTextField doesn't accept an init object. The colow does what u
want:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
verticalGap="0"
backgroundColor="#7D8FA8"
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; xmlns="*"
pageTitle="Dingen"
width="690" height="484">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function start()
{
var x_num = my_mc.mouseX;
var y_num = my_mc.mouseY;
var depth_num = my_mc.getNextHighestDepth();
var name_str = "myOriginalInstanceName" +
depth_num;
my_mc.createTextField(name_str, depth_num,
x_num, y_num, 10, 20);
var txt = my_mc[name_str];
txt.autoSize = "left";
txt.text = "great1!!";
};
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas width="300" height="200" id="my_mc"
mouseDown="start()" backgroundColor="#3333FF"></mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

Subject: [flexcoders] Having trouble using createTextField
I am trying to create a textfield when you click inside a canvas at the
x and y coordinates and it continues not to work. My understanding is
that the canvas extends movieclip so I could add a textfield to it. It
would help to possibly get a better understanding of how this all works.
Here is my code:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function onMouseDownEvent()
{
var point = {x:mouseX, y:mouseY};
canvasText.createTextField("mytext",0,point.x,point.y, 40, 40,
{text:'this is a test'}); };
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas id="canvasText" mouseDown="onMouseDownEvent();" width="300"
height="300"/>
</mx:Application>
I also cannot define properties when the app starts for instance
canvasText.mytext.border can not be defined in the function. I modified
this slightly and it work well in flash. Please help. Thanks.
