Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - A simple questions

I would recommend using event.currentTarget instead of event.target at all
times.

the event.currentTarget property contains a reference to the instance at
which you registered the event listener. event.target refers to the class
that dispatches the event.

In this case there is no difference between .target and .currentTarget, but
in future cases you might encounter problems. The cases where you would use
event.target are so rare that I would urge everyone to allways use
event.currentTarget.

I use event.target in the current application I'm developing.

It's nice in MouseEvents for determing what is currently under the mouse  
and not what dispatches the event.

[Flashcoders] AS3 - A simple questions

[SJM - Flash]

Hi Guys a simple questions for you

Basically I want to produce similar code that creates 3 TextFields and when 
clicked (or focused) they need to say Hi I'm TextField [num], I would like to 
avoid putting the TextFields in MovieClips if possible.

//
// Creates 3 new MovieClips and adds a custom property itm
//
for (var i:Number = 0; i  3; i++)
{
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 80);
mc.graphics.endFill();
mc.x = 80*i;
mc.y = 60*i;
mc.itm = i;
addChild(mc);
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
}


//
// Called when clicked, traces the custom property
//
function itemClicked(ev:Event):void

{
trace(Hi I'm MovieClip  + int(ev.target.itm + 1));
}

Thanks
SJM
