Selection.setFocus concatenate

[podenphant]

Hi All,

I have textfields named 'strText' inside 10 movieclips named 'field0', 'field1', 'field2' .... and so on!


I'm trying to chech whether a field is empty or not and then set the selection to the first empty textfield.

But this doesn't work?

function setFocus () {
    for(i=0;i<10;i++) {
        if(["field"+i].strText.text eq "") {
            Selection.setFocus(["field"+i].strtext);
            break;
        }
    }
} 

Give it up ...

Probably because break doesn't do what you think! It is exclusively used in Switch with ActionScript.

function setFocus () {
    for(var i=0;i<10;i++) {
        if(this["field"+i].strText.text != "") {
            Selection.setFocus(this["field"+i].strText);
            i=10;
        }
    }
}

hmm ... still doesn't work ...

I have attached a sample file if you care to take look?

btw: the 'break' command DOES work

myNum=5;
for(i=0;i<10;i++) {
	trace(i);
	if(i==myNum) {
		break;
	}
}

hmmm..
I think you are wrong.. a break can be used in loops as well.

Fair cop.

Next time I'll check the syntax guide.

field0.strtext.tabIndex = 1;
field1.strtext.tabIndex = 2;
field2.strtext.tabIndex = 3;
field3.strtext.tabIndex = 4;
field4.strtext.tabIndex = 5;
field5.strtext.tabIndex = 6;
countrydrop.tabIndex = 7;
field6.strtext.tabIndex = 8;
field7.strtext.tabIndex = 9;
field8.tabIndex = 10;

once I assigned tabindexes everything worked fine

maybe because you got many fields..
