form: active field 1

[bubu]

Hy guys!!!
I have made a form with 7 input text boxes.

What i want: when i play the movie i want the first input text box to be "active" (as i have clicked with the mouse in it).

It's attached variable is: "name" .

I don't want to add an animated line outside the text box...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.name"
_level0.name = "";
}


(flash mx)
this should work mate as long as this text box is directly on your stage if it is in a movie clip it becomes
_level0.youmovieclipinstancename.name

Hello!

The text box is in a movie clip: so it becomes: content_contact.name

I have added this action on the movie that contains the text box but it doesn't work....where am i doing wrong.

Regards,

P.S. Using MX.

Hello again!!

The "line" appears but i want it to appear with a delay of 2 seconds...because my text box is animated and it appears in about 2 seconds from the start of the movie.

And i cannot type any text in the boxes or change the cursor on another text box......

I can send you the .fla

ok mate you have to trick it
now i think you must have a movie clip playing with an animation with a text box appearing at the end of it. am i wrong?
if it is the case then put this text box in a movie clip on its own nested in animation's MC and add the same code as above on this new MC.
which would be

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.animationMC.textboxMC.name"
_level0.animationMC.textboxMC.name = "";
}

understood?

Yet another movie clip in this movie, Dragos?
Don't wonder why this whole thing will slow down at some point. I'm on a 1.8 P4, and it's already slowing down as it is! Regards,

just needs synchronizing Bubu.. Oldnewbie may have to be humble when talking to someone who doesn't have his skills whatever good they are..

What does that mean, Booya? Regards,

Dragos, to solve your problem, simply give an instance name to your name textfield. I have used namefield, and then on frame 21 of your content_contact mc, just add this:

Selection.setFocus(namefield);

I have updated the contact_mc in the last link I emailed you. You can check it out!

By the way, you should start using an "actions only" layer in all your movie clips, where you should concentrate all of your actionscripts. Much easier for someone like me, trying to help you out (even if Booya thinks I'm condescending!), to find them, rather then looking for a burried stop action(); somewhere on some layer, burried in a folder.
