Hi Morenna, are you making the whole website in flash or you just can’t get the text field working?

Hello there,
I really, really like this to post on my website as well. I’m using Macromedia Flash Professional 8 to create my site and it seems I cannot get it to work. If someone can upload a working example for using this in Flash, I’ll be more than excited!!!
I’m at the beginning with the scripting and I do not have much experience in working with these right now.
Thank you everyone in advance!!

For simplicity in this example I’m instantiating a text field already in the constructor :
textCustomField = new TextField();
the package linked in the document class it executed when the swf plays so if you’re creating a new instance of it in the timeline you’re doubling up…

That worked perfectly, but I must admit I don’t understand why. I’ve never used a document class before now. If its not too much of a bother why is this necessary and why does it not work when I instance the object in the way I tried above?

if you’re using Flash to compile it, then just link the as code as a document class and remove your 2 lines posted…

Here is what it looks like after resizing:

Here is the code I’m using to conjure it up if it helps:

var testField:ResizableTextField = new ResizableTextField()//new Point(15,550));
addChild(testField);

No, it’s the strangest thing. Once I resize it and one of the clones spawns. The clone behaves as expected, but the initial box never seems to budge. I’ve tried removing it from the stage, but that seems to fail as it is just “burned in”.

are you creating multiple instances of it?
