ActionScript Language Reference

Notice that from the body of the callback we refer to theField_txt using the this keyword.

To stop a callback from handling the onKillFocus() event, use the delete operator, as in:

// Make sure to omit the () operator after the function name!

delete theField_txt.onKillFocus;

The onKillFocus() event can be used to trigger the validation of text field input when the

user has finished entering text. Or, in combination with onSetFocus(), it can bring atten-

tion to a focused text field with color (see the Example under TextField.onSetFocus()). To

capture all focus events centrally, rather than for a single instance, use Selection.

onSetFocus().
