First, thanks for all replies to date.
Just in case there's any confusion, I should point out that my problem
isn't with the text field, but with the TextArea component (which
contains a text field). I can probably listen to the text field within
the TextArea component instance, but that seems sort of like a hack to
me.
For an illustration of my problem, please see this code. You need to be
running FMX2004 and have the TextArea component in your library so it
can be attached dynamically.
this_mc = _root;
// Create listener
my_listener = new Object();
my_listener.change = function(item) {
trace(item+" changed");
};
// Create TextArea
this_mc.attachMovie('TextArea', 'my_ta', 1);
// Attach listener
this_mc.my_ta.addEventListener("change", my_listener);
// Function to change the TA dynamically
changeInt = setInterval(changeThem, 2000);
function changeThem() {
this_mc.my_ta.text = "Something";
}
The listener fires off no problems when you type in the TextArea, but
when it's changed by the setInterval function I get nothing, nada.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers
Jesse Stratford
