Hi,
I am trying to create a crossword in Flash with tab control. I am currently using a movie clip for each square that contains an input text box. However the trouble is I want the user’s input for each text box to be checked indivdiaully on pressing the enter key or when the user tabs to the next square. The trouble with movie clips is that you have to use the onClipEvent function that means that say if it is triggered by a particular key being pressed, when that key is pressed, all the movie clips respond. I only want the one whose input text box is currently active.
I would like to use just input text boxes but I can never get “textBox.isEditable” or “textBox.enabled” to work so to lock the text box if the user enters the correct letter. Trouble with just input text boxes is that I dont know of a way to trigger my code that checks what the user has input on the press of a key. Thats why I have to end up using buttons or movie clips. Is there any way of having some form of on(release) function for a input text box?
