I have a textfield with the text "type here" in it. I want it so that when the user clicks in it the text disappears.
The textfield uses an onChange listener to initiate a list filter function so I want to maintain this and add another function just to clear the text.
I have a similar problem where I want a text field that by default has the word NAME in it, to become empty when a user clicks on it.
The text field has the instance name 'nam' and is inside a movie with the instance name 'input_text'.
I've searched around and found samples of code where everyone keeps suggesting this:
Code:
textboxinstancename.onSetFocus = function() {
textboxinstancename.text = "";
};

At the moment I have Clock and if I start it a message appears just above the clock saying "Timer started" and if I press the stop or reset, another message appears saying "Timer stopped" or "Timer reset", the only problem with it is that the previous message(s) are still on the screen.
I have an example attached below. I am wondering is there any way to get the textfield to refresh/remove the previous message before showing the current one?
Is there a way to clear a textfield when all else fails? This is from a very long document I can't post. The textfield is on stage and worked fine until this call. There's no error, I just can change text
public function cx(e:MouseEvent):void{
//VARIABLE THAT EFFECT THESE TEXTFIELDS
V1 = 0;
V2 = 0;

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.
I am building an interactive page where the user must type text in a text input box and then press Enter or click a hotspot on the page to proceed. I check the inputtext to see if it is the correct answer, and if it is, they advance to the next page. If it is not correct, they get incorrect feedback and they have to try again. Trying again is causing me problems because in is no longer "wkspcapt.substr(254, 9)". Here is the code I have so far. I think what I need to to is clear out whatever has been typed, but I am missing how to do it.
//check for correct key entry of "loan12345"
function checkCaption(Boolean):Void {
trace("inside checkCaption funtion");
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {

I have a code that clear textfield when you click inside. My problem is that I have to many text fields so i am trying to write some function that can be used for all the text fields.
What I can't do is to add some other property to the textfield like I can do with any variable. So my code is:
// nome is a textField
var nome:TextField;
nome.text = "ol�" // text displayed inside the text field

I'm making a calculator using Flash MX that works the same way as the basic calculator found on windows (not the scientific one). But having the user input a number, store it as a variable, store which function the user wants to perform and clear the text field then store the new input in the same text field as a different variable and multiply or add or divide or subtract the 2 numbers and getting the equals sign to display the answer when clicked is harder than I thought it would be.
