I am trying to create a textfield when you click inside a canvas at the x and y coordinates and it continues not to work. My understanding is that the canvas extends movieclip so I could add a textfield to it. It would help to possibly get a better understanding of how this all works.
Here is my code: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function onMouseDownEvent() { var point = {x:mouseX, y:mouseY}; canvasText.createTextField("mytext",0,point.x,point.y, 40, 40, {text:'this is a test'}); }; ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Canvas id="canvasText" mouseDown="onMouseDownEvent();" width="300" height="300"/> </mx:Application> I also cannot define properties when the app starts for instance canvasText.mytext.border can not be defined in the function. I modified this slightly and it work well in flash. Please help. Thanks. Yahoo!
