AS2. TextField onSetFocus select all

use your textfield's instance name, not the variable associated with your textfield.

Exactly ;)

var tFieldScope:TextField = txt;

txt.mouseListener = new Object ();
txt.mouseListener.onMouseUp = function () {
_global.setTimeout (tFieldScope.selectAll, 1, tFieldScope);
}

txt.onSetFocus = function ():Void {
Mouse.addListener(this.mouseListener);
}

txt.onKillFocus = function ():Void {
Mouse.removeListener(this.mouseListener);
_global.setTimeout (tFieldScope.selectAll, 100, tFieldScope);
}

actually, you should define a mouseUp in your onSetFocus and in your mouseUp handler setSelection and null the mouseUp. that would be perfect.

you're welcome.

Thanks a lot Kglad ;)

use a delay (like setInterval) to setSelection because your mouseUp resets focus. also, this.length should be this.text.length (though you won't usually want to use "this" in your setInterval target function).
