txtField Focus IN Focus OUT Issue

hey guys,

 

i'm working on desktop app , trying focus_in , focus_out work way want it.  have far:

 

 

var defaulttext="enter names here" txtnames.text=defaulttext txtnames.addeventlistener(focusevent.focus_in,function(){txtnames.text=''}); txtnames.addeventlistener(focusevent.focus_out,function(e:focusevent){     e.currenttarget.text=(e.currenttarget.text=='')?'enter names here':e.currenttarget.text;});  

 

it works fine.  problem once enters data txtnames want data remain, if clicked off , clicked in.  right now, if put data in, click off (data stays) when click in . . . oh let's modify entered, entire data entry removed on tf entry.

 

any ideas?

 

thanks!

you should not build functions listener have done.  them separate , refer them name in listeners.

 

the reason lose what's in textfield having event handler function assigning them empty...

 

function(){txtnames.text=''}

 

maybe rid of focus_in listener begin , decide want have happen when focus obtained.
