RE: [flexcoders] Having trouble using createTextField
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=#FF/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.

RE: [flexcoders] Having trouble using createTextField
createTextField() is a low-level Flash method, not a Flex API, and TextField
isn't a Flex component. I'm not sure why it isn't showing up, but even if it
does, a TextField wouldn't participate in Flex measurement, focus
management, etc. Only a Flex component like Label or TextInput would play
well with the rest of Flex. So try code like
var label:Label = Label(canvasText.createChild(Label));
label.x = mouseX;
label.y = mouseY;
label.text = this is a test;
in onMouseDownEvent().
