Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_txt.onChanged = function(){
// your statements here
}
Parameters
None.
Returns
The instance name of the text field.
Description
Event handler; invoked when the content of a text field changes. By default, it is undefined; you
can define it in a script.
A reference to the text field instance is passed as a parameter to the
onChanged handler. You can
capture this data by putting a parameter in the event handler method. For example, the following
code uses
txt as the parameter that is passed to the onChanged event handler. The parameter is
then used in a
trace() statement to send the instance name of the text field to the Output panel.
myTextField.onChanged = function (txt) {
trace (txt._name + " changed");
};
