WHY: trace(TextField.enabled) returns null

[Novik2000]

hi,
i got myText (TextField) and a button that does :

on (release)
{
trace(myText.enabled);
}

the problem is that this code return "undefined". why is that?

You didn't set myText.enabled to true or false.

so trace(myText.enabled) is looking for a value that doesn't exist.

make a new frame layer called actions. and put:

myText.enabled = true;

or

myText.enabled = false;

hope that helps.

welp, it did help but now i got other problem
(the problem i started with...)

how can i make that the user can't mark the text with the mouse and do Copy/Paste?!

[deadbeat]

TextField.selectable=false;

Or uncheck the selectable box (looks like: Ab) in the Properties panel...
