1076 ActionScript classes

Example

The following example demonstrates how to determine when input focus changes in a SWF

file between several dynamically created text fields. Enter the following ActionScript into a

FLA or AS file and then test the document:

this.createTextField("one_txt", 1, 0, 0, 100, 22);

this.createTextField("two_txt", 2, 0, 25, 100, 22);

this.createTextField("three_txt", 3, 0, 50, 100, 22);

this.createTextField("four_txt", 4, 0, 75, 100, 22);

for (var i in this) {

if (this[i] instanceof TextField) {

this[i].border = true;

this[i].type = "input";

}

this.createTextField("status_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 200, 10,

300, 100);

status_txt.html = true;

status_txt.multiline = true;

var someListener:Object = new Object();

someListener.onSetFocus = function(oldFocus, newFocus) {

status_txt.htmlText = "<b>setFocus triggered</b>";

status_txt.htmlText += "<textformat tabStops='[20,80]'>";

status_txt.htmlText += " \toldFocus:\t"+oldFocus;

status_txt.htmlText += " \tnewFocus:\t"+newFocus;

status_txt.htmlText += " \tgetFocus:\t"+Selection.getFocus();

status_txt.htmlText += "</textformat>";

};

Selection.addListener(someListener);

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player

7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
