I am making a flash contact form, and everything is working great except for one of the fields. Not sure what is going on with it, but you cannot click into the field with the mouse. If you tab from the field above or below, you can start typing into it.
I have read that these fields sometimes bug out because of too many objects in the flash (which is absurd, I have built more complex applications than a contact form with no problems). I have tried deleting the input field and putting a fresh one in it’s place, putting the field on a new layer/on a layer by its self, and deleted every other input field in the file. Nothing has worked.
Any ideas as to what may be causing it or how to fix it?
Not sure if this matters, but the form fields go like this:
Name
Email Address
Phone Number < bugged field
Subject
Message
Actually figured it out, I had a dynamic “Notifications” text field on a layer above the input field that was catching mouse clicks.
remedy: place dynamic text field offstage with action script until it was needed, then move it back off stage when it was not needed any longer.
