Subject: FLASH: Questions on text fields and controlling with tell
target


I need to come up with a solution to build, control and reset editable text
fields. The client wants to allow for the user to fill out an address field
but then have a reset button that resets the field to blank. There is also
going to be a pop-up menu that allows the text fields to auto-fill based on
the selection on the menu (the selections on the menu are text names that
have downstates). I'm assuming that the pop-up window is a series of buttons
embedded into a movie clip that tell-target another MC that contains the
various text fields. The interactivity is supposed to allow the user to
auto-fill the text field based on the choice... or to just type in the info
they require. Plus have the reset button. The good news is that this info.
is only for demo purposes so nothing is getting sent to the server. Without
spending hours testing for a solution I was wondering if someone on the list
could tell me a couple things:

A. How to setup a button to reset a text field to blank.
B. Is it possible to embed text fields into a movie clip...then tell-target
the different fields from buttons embedded with another clip?

And while I'm at it... Is there a simple solution to sending an error
message if information isn't filled out within a text field? What I want to
be able to do is have Flash pop open a message window if the user hits a
submit button without filling in a text field.

Any help would be big time saver...and greatly appreciated!!!!!

Alan
