Availability

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");
};
