- We will Create dynamic text fields inside Actionscript.
- We first create a new TextField object that’ll give us access to all the properties, methods and events of the TextFields class.
- We’ll call this TextField object textInput.
var textInput:TextField = new TextField();textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textInput.border = true;
textInput.height = 20;
textInput.x = 100;
textInput.y = 100;
addChild(textInput);
- We want to make sure that the user can input data into the text field, to do this we simply set the type property to INPUT.
- NPUT is a property of the TextFieldType class.
var textInput:TextField = new TextField(); textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textInput.border = true;
textInput.height = 20;
textInput.x = 100;
textInput.y = 100;
addChild(textInput);
- Setting the border property to true gives the text field an outline.
var textInput:TextField = new TextField(); textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textInput.border = true;
textInput.height = 20;
textInput.x = 100;
textInput.y = 100;
addChild(textInput);
- We set the height property to 20px and change the position of the text field on the stage to 100px.
- Finally using the addChild() method we add the text field to the display list.
var textInput:TextField = new TextField(); textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textInput.border = true;
textInput.height = 20;
textInput.x = 100;
textInput.y = 100;
addChild(textInput);
