Textfield in bottom clip still selectable!?

programming flash
1

Hi
I have 2 clips sitting on each other which can be tabbed between via swapDepths(). The initial ‘underneath’ clip has one large textfield/box of type ‘input’. For some reason when you mouse over the upper clip in runtime (which has NO textfield) the cursor is coming up. Like as if it is selecting the textfield in the underneath clip. This shouldnt happen!!!. Ideally users should only be able to select and enter data into the input field when that Mc has been tabbed and is at the top.

Any ideas? I did try making a function to turn the ‘selectability’ off when the input clip is at the bottom, but this of course doesnt work on textfields of type input :skull: ARRGGHH!!!

It works in Flash MX. You can turn off the “selectability” by using the code:

[AS]texbox.selectable=false[/AS]

I’m not sure how to incorporate this in your swapdepths function though.
