There's another bug that's keeping this example from working, the
default updateData()
method for inputtext is not getting the modified input text.
A workaround
LzInputText's updateData method is written as
function updateData (){
return this.sprite.text;
}
But nothing seems to actually be updating the LzInputTextSprite 'text'
field when the onblur event happens.
LzInputText ought to be updateData defined like this I think, or else
something in the textsprite should
be updating that field automatically
function updateData (){
return this.getText();
}
A workaround would be to override the updateData method on inputtext, like this
<inputtext datapath="ds:/stuff/@input" text=" $path{'@input'}" >
<method name="updateData">
this.setText( this.getText() );
return this.text;
</method>
<method event="onblur">
this.datapath.updateData();
</method>
</inputtext>
