onKillFocus (TextField.onKillFocus handler)
onKillFocus = function(newFocus:Object) {}
Invoked when a text field loses keyboard focus. The onKillFocus method receives one
parameter,
newFocus, which is an object representing the new object receiving the focus. If no
object receives the focus,
newFocus contains the value null.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Parameters
newFocus:Object - The object that is receiving the focus.
Example
The following example creates two text fields called
first_txt and second_txt. When you
give focus to a text field, information about the text field with current focus and the text field
that lost focus is displayed in the Output panel.
this.createTextField("first_txt", 1, 10, 10, 300, 20);
first_txt.border = true;
first_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("second_txt", 2, 10, 40, 300, 20);
second_txt.border = true;
second_txt.type = "input";
first_txt.onKillFocus = function(newFocus:Object) {
trace(this._name+" lost focus. New focus changed to: "+newFocus._name);
};
first_txt.onSetFocus = function(oldFocus:Object) {
trace(this._name+" gained focus. Old focus changed from:
"+oldFocus._name);
}

onSetFocus (TextField.onSetFocus handler)
onScroller (TextField.onScroller handler)
onScroller = function(scrolledField:TextField) {}
Event handler/listener; invoked when one of the text field scroll properties changes.
A reference to the text field instance is passed as a parameter to the onScroller handler. You
can capture this data by putting a parameter in the event handler method. For example, the
following code uses
my_txt as the parameter that is passed to the onScroller event handler.
The parameter is then used in a
trace() statement to send the instance name of the text field
to the Output panel.
