(Robert)Re: FLASH: Questions on text fields and controlling withtell tar get

[ifx]

Hey Robert!


That's pretty darn close! The only difference in your example would be the

"name" section would be a pulldown list with downstates.. the user would

pull the menu and choose from the one of the names in the list, which would

automatically add their address into the textfield... or else the user could

forgo the popup and just type directly into the field. If it wasn't that I

need the user to enter text into the field, I'd just setup a movie clip with

the static address text. I was hoping to use telltargets to textfields in a

movie clip as a workaround.


I'd love to look at the FLA... so if you don't mind, just attach it to an

email and send to:

Thanks a bunch!!!
