input text box 1

[bubu]

Hello guys!

I have an input text box for an e-mail subscription list.

What i want: when the movie is loaded i want in the text box to have this text: "enter e-mail adress" and when the user clicks in the text box the cursor to appear.

How can i do this?
Any suggestion is appreciated. Regards,
Dragos.

Supposing you had an input textfield named my_input, just set your "Enter e-mail here..." text when creating the textfield itself, then use this something like this:

my_input.onSetFocus = function () {
my_input.text = "";
};

When the user clicks the field, it should clear the text and set the cursor blinking on the first character. Regards,

I have added this action on the 1st frame that contains the input texbox (variable = sub):

sub.onSetFocus = function() {
sub.text = "";
};

...but nothing happens...where am i doing wrong Oldnewbie? Regards,

Dragos,sub shouldn't be your variable's name but the textfield's instance name. Then it should work! Regards,
