Methods inherited from class Object
addListener (TextField.addListener method)
public addListener(listener:Object) : Boolean
Registers an object to receive TextField event notifications. The object will receive event
notifications whenever the
onChanged and onScroller event handlers have been invoked.
When a text field changes or is scrolled, the
TextField.onChanged and
TextField.onScroller event handlers are invoked, followed by the onChanged and
onScroller event handlers of any objects registered as listeners. Multiple objects can be
registered as listeners.
To remove a listener object from a text field, call
TextField.removeListener().
A reference to the text field instance is passed as a parameter to the
onScroller and
onChanged handlers by the event source. You can capture this data by putting a parameter in
the event handler method. For example, the following code uses
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.The parameter is then used in a
trace() method to write the instance name of the text field to the log file.
my_txt.onScroller = function(textfield_txt:TextField) {
trace(textfield_txt._name+" scrolled");
};
