i tried more & more , but in vain
i made dynamic textfield with instance name --> "ttt"
ttt.onChanged=function (){
..........
..........
..........
}
it doesn't work at all
i got mad

1. Stick a

trace('hello');

in the onChanged handler to see if it is being called.

2. If you are sure it is not being called, post a simplified copy of your .fla so we can take a look.

The movie you posted appears to be working great.

When you edit the text on the bottom, the word 'changed' gets added to the dynamic text field on the top.

Isn't this what you want?

Perhaps you are using an older version of Flash? Works okay in Flash MX 2004.

Oh, I get it, you want the onChanged handler to get called when you press the Button, right? At the moment, it is only called when you manually change the text by typing in the field. The purpose of the onChanged event is to tell you that the user has changed the text. In this case, when you are changing it yourself, you are expected to already know that the text is being changed (after all, you changed it).

However, you can just change your button code as follows if you want to get the event.

code:

---

on (release) {

	ttt.text = "mahmoud"+random(20);

	ttt.onChanged();

}
