I was seeking with this request was
because
the

run

Now it does not thanks to Amol. :))
Here is the code competed. Again, it is as2, but would love
to see an
as3
conversion.
I might get to that later, but welcome any comers.
//commentxt_mc is the textfield name, 650 is the number of

allowed. You will also want to set the text box max
characters to this

creating your text box.
var numChar;
commentxt_mc.onSetFocus = function() {

Re: [Flashcoders] Text area focus
Hi Juan,
Interesting enough, it seems your solution also runs my fan a bit
wild too. Not as bad, I'd say about half as much.
I know its the form because I have tested many times. Every time I
close the browser window that has the form, my fan slows to a stop
almost immediately.
I chose the onFocus mainly because I knew that it was the
onEnterFrame that was taking up memory, so I wanted it to fire only
when someone was typing.
It looks like my suggestion does just that. The fan never kicks on.
My purpose for this is to set up a flash site that takes little to no
memory usage.
Am I right in assuming that this is memory usage by the code that
makes my fan kick in.
I've been nulling any onEnterFrames, removing listeners, etc.
Any thoughts as to why the onChanged eats memory too?
TIA

Re: [Flashcoders] Text area focus
Not really. In theory, onChanged should be less intensive, I think. But,
from your description it seems it isn't, so go figure...
I'd go with the onSetFocus / onKillFocus then, but I'd do another test, just
out of curiosity. Instead of setting an enterframe when you get focus and
nulling it when focus is lost, what happens is you use the onChanged event
instead?
I mean, something like:
textbox.onSetFocus = function() {
textbox.onChanged = etc...;
};
textbox.onKillFocus = function() {
textbox.onChanged = null;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Text area focus
Ahh.. let me try that.
I am sure you are correct.
That way it only checks to see if that textField is changing when
focus is on it.
And being that onChanged was less memory intensive than onEnterFrame
that makes sense. But my tests are not finite.
I do not have a benchmark result or anything stating
how much memory my swf is using while in the browser.
But it would seem the onSetFocus/onKillFocus keeps any extra memory
from being used in either case.
Thanks again Juan.

Re: [Flashcoders] Text area focus
PERFECTO!
Thanks Amol,
For anyone who might want this. I have made a script that will read
the length of a text field and display the number of characters left
while someone was typing.
The reason for the code I was seeking with this request was because
the code previously would eat up a lot of memory. It made my computer
fan run wild if the form sat in my browser.
Now it does not thanks to Amol. :))
Here is the code competed. Again, it is as2, but would love to see an
as3 conversion.
I might get to that later, but welcome any comers.
//commentxt_mc is the textfield name, 650 is the number of characters
allowed. You will also want to set the text box max characters to
this when creating your text box.
var numChar;
commentxt_mc.onSetFocus = function() {
onEnterFrame = function() {
numChar = 650 - commentxt_mc.length;
if (numChar == 0) {
maxChar = Max Characters Reached;
} else {
maxChar = Max Char: + numChar.toString(); //Have another text
box with the var maxChar to display the results while typing.
}
}
};
commentxt_mc.onKillFocus = function() {
onEnterFrame = null;
};
Best,

Re: [Flashcoders] Text area focus
It seems like you don't really need to bother about gaining or losing focus
here. Just listening to the change event will do the job and you could
remove the enter_frame.
commentxt_mc.onChanged = function(tf:TextField):Void {
var numChar:Number = 650 - tf.length;
if (numChar == 0) {
maxChar = Max Characters Reached;
} else {
maxChar = Max Char: + numChar.toString(); //Have another
text box with the var maxChar to display the results while typing.
}
};
The equivalent in AS 3.0 is very similar, though a bit more verbose (as
usual!):
commentxt_mc.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,handleTextChange);
function handleTextChange(e:Event):void {
var tf:TextField = e.target as TextField;
if(!tf) {
return;
}
var numChar:Number = 650 - tf.length;
var maxChar:String = ;
if (numChar == 0) {
maxChar = Max Characters Reached;
} else {
maxChar = Max Char: + numChar.toString(); //Have another text box with
the var maxChar to display the results while typing.
}
}
