Example
The following code uses onSetFocus() and onKillFocus() to highlight a field with color
when it is focused, providing a nice interface cue for the user:
this.createTextField("userName_txt", 1, 0, 0, 200, 20);
userName_txt.type = "input";
userName_txt.border = true;
userName_txt.background = true;
userName_txt.backgroundColor = 0xA4660B;
userName_txt.onSetFocus = function (oldFocus) {
this.backgroundColor = 0xF5BF70;
}
userName_txt.onKillFocus = function (newFocus) {
this.backgroundColor = 0xA4660B;
}
To apply this effect to all text fields in a movie, use:
TextField.prototype.onSetFocus = function (oldFocus) {
this.backgroundColor = 0xF5BF70;
}
TextField.prototype.onKillFocus = function (newFocus) {
this.backgroundColor = 0xA4660B;
}
