Posted on 16. Apr, 2009 by thornyeternity in ActionScript 3 Snippets
Create input text field:
currField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
currField.selectable = true; //must be true to be inputtable
———
Select text when the field is clicked on:
currField.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, highlightText);
private function highlightText(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.setSelection(0, event.target.length); //start point, end point
}
——–
Return string value from function call:
currField.text = scoreLabel();
private function scoreLabel():String{
var scoreString:String = “Your score: ” + scoreGot + “/” + questionTotal;
return scoreString;
}//scoreLabel
